The Only Player in Infinite Terror

"One million US dollars per animal!? My god, that's enough to buy ten of my lives. My compensation is only one hundred thousand US dollars." A mercenary complained.

Ling Qi smiled without saying a word. "You're all lying. You're all clones with implanted memories. You can't get any compensation at all."

Moreover, he felt that one million US dollars for a reptile was indeed not expensive.

After all, the price quoted to the US military for this thing thirty years later has risen to thirty million US dollars per unit.

Even a certain handsome guy with parted hair, known in the underworld as the Steelback Beast, who could kill an ordinary Licker with a single slash, dared to ask for 13 million US dollars per Licker thirty years later.

Even considering inflation, this price seems a bit too exorbitant.

All I can say is that Commissioners Smith and his ilk are incredibly adept at making money.

However, a bag of screws can be priced at over 90,000 US dollars, so this price seems quite reasonable in comparison?

A few minutes later.

With a chilling howl like that of a wild beast, the black and red monster, now several times larger and over three meters tall, crawled toward the group.

"Damn it, the main god just gave out some rewards, why is he getting so worked up?" Ling Qi muttered to himself.

Based on his understanding of the nature of the Supreme God, he was likely certain that the emergence of this great crawler was inseparable from the Supreme God's powerful influence behind the scenes.

Normally, although reptiles and lickers theoretically evolve by consuming the genes of their prey, it's impossible for them to evolve so easily by eating a human.

But under the great hand of God, anything is possible.

If you dare to rack up points, the Monkey God will even adjust the difficulty for you to the point of piloting a Gundam.

Seeing the mercenaries who were clearly panicked, Ling Qi joked to ease the tension: "How about it, isn't the T-virus incredible?"

"This little cutie has grown so much despite eating less than the amount of meat a person would eat."

Hearing this lame joke, the Black captain Matthew forced a smile: "Sir, this monster looks pretty powerful. Just to be safe, you should probably stay in the back and command."

He was too eager to improve.

Now that Ling Qi, a big shot with connections, has finally appeared before him, he has to consider whether this might be his only chance in this lifetime.

Thinking of this, the black captain Matthew roared fiercely, ordering his mercenaries, "Brothers, it's just a monster. We'll still die if we get hit by a bullet. Let's get it!"

"Da da da da!"

At his command, bullets rained down on the massive crawler.

Perhaps because its size had increased significantly, the monster moved much slower than before and was hit by more than ten bullets in an instant.

A bullet that would be deadly to a human only caused it to let out a huge scream.

What shocked everyone even more was that the bullet holes on the monster's body were healing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Enraged by the injury, the monster charged toward the group in an S-shape.

"Shoot it in the brain! That's its weak point!" Ling Qi shouted as he drew his powerful Anhun pistol and launched an attack.

"Damn it, it's all because of the update. This gun is so difficult to use, and why has the aim assist cursor been removed?"

Ling Qi was getting a little annoyed after firing several shots that missed their mark, leaving only a few large craters in the ground and walls.

The giant crawler quickly approached, but was stunned by the concentrated fire of the mercenaries who had received the warning, and was forced to retreat several steps.

Ling Qi's eyes lit up. He took a deep breath and used his telekinesis to wrap around the monster's calves, binding it.

In just a moment, Ling Qi felt an immense pressure on his mind, as if a mountain was pressing down on him.

But without any hesitation, he used the last bit of telekinesis he had left to fire three shots in quick succession.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Stunned by a barrage of bullets and bound by Ling Qi's telekinetic powers, the evolved crawler's massive body became a stationary target.

The black and red twisted brain was hit by a series of Magnum bullets and exploded suddenly like a watermelon.

"Slay an elite crawler and obtain one D-level side quest, rewarding you with 1,000 points."

"Eliminate all the Lickers in Restaurant B, complete the side quest, and the whole team will receive two D-level side quests, with a reward of 1,500 points."

The monster's massive headless body collapsed with a crash, transforming into cold side quests and reward points.

"Boss, great marksmanship!" The black captain Matthew, covered in sweat, immediately became a sycophant after the battle ended.

Ling Qi rubbed his sore wrists and smiled calmly: "You guys played quite well too. Without your help, I wouldn't have been able to aim at him properly."

The black captain, Matthew, was so moved he almost cried. What a great leader he is!

In comparison, the leaders he had encountered before who would steal credit and shirk responsibility were simply beasts.

Good news kept coming in, and at the same time, Kaplan, who had been working hard to hack into the Red Queen and the mainframe firewall, cheered and said, "Hey guys, I really beat that girl this time."

"Are you sure? Don't fall for it again." A female mercenary from the Thunder Sect, who was not far from him, teased him while changing a magazine.

"Of course, she won't be able to pull any tricks this time." Kaplan whistled with a beaming smile.

Just then, a projection of a delicate-looking little girl appeared in front of everyone.

"You've all been deceived! Warning! If you shut me down, not only you, but everyone will die, and human society will be destroyed!"

Her small face tried hard to mimic an angry yet solemn expression, but her voice remained completely flat.

"Oh! How terrifying, human society is going to be destroyed!" Kaplan burst into laughter.

Without the slightest hesitation, Kaplan pressed the last button and sent out the command.

As if the power had gone out, the little girl's projection flickered a few times and then disappeared completely, and the passage door reopened.

And this time, the glass walls at both ends of the passage were also dimmed, unlike the bright and unsettling ones from last time.

"Let's go, this time there won't be any problems." Ling Qi took the lead and walked towards the passage.

The black captain, Matthew, was a little worried, so he suggested, "Director, for your safety, please let me in. You can wait outside."

Upon hearing this, Ling Qi nodded indifferently: "Alright then, that's settled then."

Upon receiving instructions, the Black captain Matthew immediately pointed at Zheng Zha and said, "You, come in with me."

Zheng Zha's face fell; he couldn't understand why it was him again.

"Damn it, if you're not afraid of dying, fine, but why do you have to drag me into this!" Zheng Zha cursed inwardly.

However, he remembered that Kaplan didn't fall for the trick the second time in the story, so there shouldn't be any surprises this time.

Considering that the middle-aged man, who was also a newcomer, was shot to death while trying to escape, he became a negative example.

After thinking for a moment, Zheng Zha gritted his teeth and obediently stepped forward to follow the black captain Matthew.
