The Only Player in Infinite Terror

Ming Yanwei said softly to Zhao Yingkong, "Little sister, we're counting on you to bring the things back. I'll stay here to support Li Shuaixi and the others."

"Are you confident? If you go back alone."

Zhao Yingkong glanced worriedly at the other side, then said coldly, "Don't worry, I'll be fine."

"You lot, be careful, lest you die."

Ming Yanwei laughed, firing shots at the two supporting the other side as she ran forward, saying without turning her head, "Oh my, I didn't expect you to be such a typical tsundere, little sister."

Zhao Yingkong blushed, said nothing, and walked away lightly with ghostly steps, holding the head in her arms.

However, no matter how you look at her back, it seems like she's fleeing in panic.

"Watch out behind you!" Li Shuaixi looked behind Ming Yanwei and quickly reminded her.

Ming Yanwei drew her Gauss pistol with her left hand, fired two shots behind her without turning her head, and then fired another shot upwards without looking up.

It was as if they had opened their eyes to the heavens; three metal bullets accurately and elegantly blew the heads off three aliens that were attacking from different directions.

Li Shuaixi was almost dumbfounded, until Lingdian, standing to the side, said coldly with great dissatisfaction, "If I were your enemy, I would have died the moment you were distracted."

"You dare to act foolishly in the middle of a battle?"

Knowing he was in the wrong, Li Shuaixi gave an embarrassed smile and continued to shoot at the aliens around him.

The three reunited and fought their way back to Area B.

With the cover of the automatic sentry machine guns, the pursuing aliens, though unwilling, could only retreat into the shadows after roaring.

"Unless we can find a place to wash ourselves clean, we probably won't be able to continue our stealth," Li Shuaixi sighed.

The three broke through the encirclement unharmed, but it wasn't without its price.

Because there were so many aliens and the terrain was so narrow, all three of them were now covered in alien blood.

Although the special material and design of the combat suit prevented the acidic blood from causing corrosion, it was quickly repelled and flowed away by the hydrophobic layer.

However, the three of them were still covered in the alien pheromones, and the aliens would detect them from a great distance.

"Shall we wait here for Chu Xuan and the others to come and provide support?" Ming Yanwei asked as she changed a magazine.

Although she had just fought her way out of a horde of monsters, there was no fear in her voice; instead, there was a bloodthirsty excitement.

"No, I don't think staying here is a good choice." Li Shuaixi shook his head.

"I checked, and these two automatic sentry machine guns have less than 40% of their ammunition remaining."

"If they don't care about casualties, they can force their way through."

"And don't forget, using acid to corrode the terrain for a sneak attack is one of the Xenomorphs' specialties."

"After a short rest, we moved around in several safe zones that were equipped with automatic sentry machine guns, trying not to stay in one place for too long."

……

On the other side, Zhao Yingkong moved swiftly like a phantom, yet made almost no sound.

She moved quickly, and in just a few minutes, she crossed the B deck area and returned to the dormitory area in the A deck area.

Suddenly, Chu Xuan's voice came through her earpiece.

"Zhao Yingkong, most of the aliens that were attracted here were trapped inside the isolation wall by my design."

"However, quite a few aliens have not been trapped."

"You have only five minutes. In those five minutes, you must get to the central control room through this passage I've provided."

"I've already sent others to clear the aliens out of this passage beforehand."

"However, there are at least twenty Xenomorphs and one Guardian Xenomorph that you will need to deal with by yourself."

"Go to the end of the passage ahead and turn right. There are three Warrior Xenomorphs and two Mighty Peak Xenomorphs there."

Zhao Yingkong silently prepared for battle and calmly replied into the microphone, "I understand."

In the instant she turned right, she drew the alloy sword from her waist with one hand.

The five aliens sensed the slight tremor and looked up in Zhao Yingkong's direction.

Before they could react, a flash of light appeared, and they froze, motionless, like statues, just as they passed Zhao Yingkong.

Only after Zhao Yingkong's figure had gone far away did their heads slowly slide off along a smooth cut, falling face down on the ground one after another.

"Well done. Turn left at the end of the way ahead. There's a Guardian Xenomorph and three Warrior Xenomorphs there."

"There are four minutes and twenty-six seconds left."

Chu Xuan reminded him again.

Zhao Yingkong did not answer; she simply unlocked the first-order gene lock the instant she crossed the end of the passage.

As soon as she turned left, the enormous body of the Guardian Alien, which was over four meters tall, filled Zhao Yingkong's entire field of vision.

At the same time, it almost completely blocked the passage.

There is no way to get through this passage without defeating it.

The Guardian Xenomorph let out a roar, brandishing its sharp, massive claws and slamming them down in front of it.

Despite its large size, it is not slow or clumsy in its movements; its agility and nimbleness are even comparable to that of a cheetah.

But against the young assassin who had unlocked the first stage of her genetic lock, its movements were as slow as a snail.

She moved with unparalleled ease, like a gentle breeze, passing between the two giant claws of the Guardian Alien.

With a few graceful steps, he leaped onto the shoulder of the alien guard.

Before the Guardian Alien could react, she gripped the hilt of the knife tightly and plunged it into the Alien's brain.

After a slight hesitation, the nearly 80-centimeter-long sharp blade broke through the solid carapace and plunged entirely into the brain of the Guardian Xenomorph.

Fearing the blow wouldn't be fatal enough, the young assassin simply gripped the hilt and stirred it like she was beating an egg.

The Guardian Xenomorph let out a bloodcurdling howl, struggling desperately as it swung its claws toward its chest.

Zhao Ying loosened the hilt of her sword and jumped heavily off the alien guard.

[Defeat one Guardian Alien to obtain one C-rank side quest and receive 2000 reward points.]

Then, in mid-air, a whooshing sound came from not far away.

Two aliens climbed up the wall at some unknown time and used their whip-like tails to slash at the young female assassin.

Despite being suspended in mid-air with nowhere to grab onto, Zhao Yingkong remained calm and composed.

She released her left hand, letting the cyborg's head fall freely downwards.

He then quickly drew a dagger and a Gauss pistol from his waist, shot one of the alien tails with his left hand, and then used the dagger in his right hand to cut off the other alien tail.

The moment it landed, the last alien's inner fang shot out of the shadows like a cannonball, aiming straight for the girl assassin's face.

The final alien's sneak attack was characterized by speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness.

Unfortunately, this attack was still not fast enough against the girl assassin who had unlocked the first stage of her genetic lock!

With just a perfectly timed tilt of her head, the young assassin dodged the fatal blow.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

After three gunshots, a bloody hole appeared in the middle of each of the three alien heads.

The young assassin sheathed her dagger and caught the falling cyborg head with a quick reach.

"There are four minutes and twenty-one seconds left," Chu Xuan reminded him.

"Okay, I understand." Zhao Yingkong pulled out the sword that had been inserted into the brain of the alien guard and continued on her way.
