The Only Player in Infinite Terror

Regardless of the emotional changes of Zheng Zha and other new reincarnators, Ling Qi led everyone into the corridor with practiced ease.

Along the corridor, the glass-walled research labs were filled with water, and floating in the water were the corpses of researchers wearing white lab coats, a truly horrifying sight.

Ling Qi stopped in front of a glass wall. Behind the glass wall, the body of a female researcher with her eyes closed was pressed against the glass wall with her hands, maintaining the posture of trying to escape in her last moments before death.

Matthew was puzzled when he saw Ling Qi stop.

It was just a corpse; he'd seen plenty of them, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

Ling Qi stretched out his right hand and gently knocked on the glass wall as if knocking on a door.

The crisp sound of knocking echoed in the quiet corridor.

The next moment, the "female corpse," who had been sitting motionless with her eyes closed, suddenly opened her eyes and stared intently at the people on the other side of the glass wall.

Even though she had seen the movie, Zhan Lan was still startled by this scene and instinctively grabbed Ling Qi's arm.

At the same time, Ling Qi's knocking sound seemed to be a signal, and the corpses in the research rooms on both sides woke up one after another, swimming to the glass wall like piranhas, opening their mouths and roaring.

"So, do you believe me now?" Ling Qi said calmly.

Matthew, not daring to be negligent, saluted with a mixture of surprise and fear, saying, "Respected Director Yuan, the Delta and Echo squads of UBCSDelta pay their respects! From now on, we will completely obey your commands!"

Ling Qi nodded in satisfaction: "Very good. Once this emergency is resolved, I will arrange for you all to be promoted and receive a raise."

"I have connections, you know?"

Matthew tensed, his heart filled with joy, but his expression grew even more respectful: "I swear to serve you to the death, sir! I swear to serve the company to the death!"

Zheng Zha, who was watching from the side, was filled with awe for Ling Qi. He turned to Zhang Jie and whispered, "Who says there's no social etiquette abroad? This big black guy looks so serious, but I didn't expect him to be such a good flatterer."

Zhang Jie narrowed his eyes and chuckled, "It's normal. They're all human, how different can they be? Those who say there's no social etiquette abroad are probably not qualified to deal with such things and can't even get into their circles."

In his heart, however, he was still wondering what Ling Qi's background was.

Despite being a newcomer, he possesses considerable telekinetic abilities and has mastered some kind of spatial ability of unknown origin, allowing him to remotely collect boxes containing T-virus stock solution and antibodies.

"Could he really be one of those 'players'? Am I really saved?"

Just as Matthew believed Ling Qi's half-truths, Zhang Jie now believed Ling Qi's words to some extent as well.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why someone who is clearly a newcomer would exhibit so many illogical behaviors.

Having gained command, Ling Qi wasn't particularly excited; it was just basic stuff.

"Let's go. These research labs are all filled with water now, so we can't get through. We'll have to go around through Restaurant B," Ling Qi said calmly.

Matthew nodded and gave the order to everyone: "Understood. We don't have much time. Everyone, hurry up and take the detour."

After walking for a while, the group arrived at a steel gate again.

Computer expert Kaplan used his computer to access the door lock, and after some manipulation, he cracked the door control system and easily opened the door.

Matthew gave a signal, and several mercenaries, armed with guns, cautiously entered in a tactical stance.

Restaurant B is a large hall with fifty small shipping containers, on which numerous electrical wires and pipes are inserted, emanating a faint fishy smell and a chilling atmosphere.

A mercenary jogged over, saluted, and said, "Sir! According to the map, this is Restaurant B."

This is indeed a restaurant, but the visitors are not diners, but food.

Ling Qi instructed Matthew, "Have your men install the C4 bombs quickly. These cryogenic chambers contain the company's biological weapon, the Crawler."

"The Red Queen is most likely out of control now. If she decides to release these crawlers, we're all going to die."

Ling Qi glanced at the camera emitting a red light, knowing that the Red Queen had already noticed this place.

But he wasn't too panicked, because based on his gaming experience, even if the Red Queen decided to immediately thaw and release the crawlers, these biological weapons would still need at least half an hour to revive.

Half an hour is more than enough.

Matthew didn't dare to delay and hurriedly shouted, "Quick, quick, load the C4 bombs! Get ready to blow up these containers and the monsters inside!"

About twenty minutes later, the well-trained mercenary squad planted the bomb and continued their march toward the central computer room where the Red Queen was located.

"Give me the bomb remote control," Ling Qi instructed Matthew.

Matthew immediately handed over the bomb remote control with both hands.

Ling Qi gently pressed the large red button, and three seconds later, a huge explosion came from afar.

At the same time, the divine voice also appeared in his ears.

"Forty-nine crawlers killed, reward 4,900 points."

"One is missing. It seems there's still one survivor. It looks like this survivor is the test the main god is giving me to rack up points." Ling Qi understood.

An ordinary person would certainly not know how many crawlers there should be, but Ling Qi, a veteran player, knew very well that Restaurant B had a total of fifty freezers, which meant there were fifty crawlers in total.

Although they are beginners, the Supreme God will not allow reincarnators to easily rack up points and obtain reward points.

However, as long as you master the correct strategies, farming reward points isn't that difficult.

Ling Qi may have just pressed a button to blow up Restaurant B and rack up so many points, but in reality, it was because he gained command of the mercenary squad and acquired the greatest "momentum" in this storyline.

Otherwise, let alone helping the Reincarnators blow up Restaurant B, they would most likely become enemies, preventing the Reincarnators from destroying Umbrella Corporation's "property".

At least, until one can defeat the entire world single-handedly, simply resorting to violence without using one's brain is not a viable strategy.

"What's more, the biggest challenge in getting this score in the original story wasn't how to convince the mercenaries, but Zhang Jie's obstruction," Ling Qi thought, glancing at Zhang Jie who was trying to make himself less noticeable.

In fact, in the original story, Zhan Lan had suggested blowing up the freezer to get more points, but Zhang Jie, as the only veteran at the time, rejected the suggestion on the grounds that the main god would not allow the reincarnators to change the plot and might release the crawlers ahead of time.

Furthermore, he warned Zheng Zha and other newcomers that being familiar with the plot was the greatest guarantee for the reincarnators to survive, and declared that if anyone attempted to forcibly change the plot to obtain reward points, he would not hesitate to send the person who changed the plot to hell.

However, perhaps seeing some hope in Ling Qi for solving his own problems, Zhang Jie remained silent and made no attempt to stop it even as Restaurant B was blown to bits.
