Chapter 90 - Dark Phantom, Death Reaper - Part 1

On the tenth floor of the SH Hospital

The group had finished searching all floors and they were on the topmost floor now.

Cao Jingyi swept the sweat from her forehead as she scanned the group. After they grouped, they suffered no casualties. When her sharp sense combined with Zhao Zhong and Qin Shoushan, they managed to kill all Death Scythe they encountered so far.

On top of that, Bai Yuan was a great help to them. Despite his level was lower than the Tarrior, his contribution in the fight was only below Zhao Zhong, Qin Shoushan, Cao Jingyi, and Li Na's Moon. Even the experienced Fu Dandan and Dai Wenqian were getting outshined by him.

"It's easy if we get used to their pattern of attack," Zhao Zhong commented while resting his back against the wall. Even though he said it was easy, he was still out of breath after the fight just now.

It was indeed easier to counter as the Death Scythes would come from your top or you back. He did not wrong but, but the thing went harder because the Dark Goblin they encountered was stronger as they went up.

Especially on this floor, this was the toughest one. They did not suffer the casualty but someone lost their entire left arm.

At the corner, Fu Dandan and Dai Wenqian tried to stop the bleeding of the man who lost his left arm. Guo Sheng was the man who lost his left arm. He was sweating profusely while holding the throbbing pain.

With a minimum tool, it was impossible to stop the bleeding. They could only minimize the bleeding with the gauze. The group was on a break after an intense battle.

Mo Wen's eyes darted around, looking for a gap to sneak out of the group unnoticed. Thanks to the great team, he managed to preserve his life. If not for the beforehand mistake, he would for sure want to stay with the group.

Just as he was about to sneak out, a deep voice came from behind him, "Don't try to sneak away from us! Or I will cut your legs to make sure you can't run away from us," Mo Wen looked at the voice, then he met with Qin Shoushan's hawk-like gaze.

He swallowed his saliva nervously as he smiled embarrassedly, "Haha… I am just checking the surroundings, making sure nothing dangerous lurking in the dark," he threw random excuses.

Qin Shoushan merely snorted at him before turning away. His facade was clearly seen by Qin Shoushan. He turned his gaze from the scary guy and met with another scary guy. Yes, Yan sheng had his eyes locked at him as well.

At this point, Mo Wen realized that sneaking out from the group was impossible. With Qin Shoushan and Yan Sheng watching him, running away was not possible.

'There's no other choice but stay with them…' Mo Wen's face brightened up as he thought of a new plan, 'I just need to behave and gain her trust,' his eyes locked toward Cao Jingyi who was having a conversation with Zhao Zhong.

Within this group, Cao Jingyi was someone who could save him. If he gained her trust, she might speak for him in front of Tang Shaoyang. As a new plan formed in his head, Mo Wen started to approach the girl.

"Should we check the rooftop too?" When he was near the group, he heard Li Na ask Cao Jingyi.

'Let me check the rooftop!' That was what he wanted to say, but someone spoke first, "There's no need, I have checked the rooftop. Aside from a few Stage-1 Zombies, the rooftop was empty,"

With an annoyed look on his face, Mo Wen looked toward the voice. Thinking, 'Which bastard ruined my plan!' The plan was to risk his life to check the rooftop. He thought he could just run away if he met something dangerous. As long as he could gain the girl's trust, it was okay to risk his life a little bit.

However, those thoughts immediately vanished into a puff of smoke when he saw the person. Having a scary face with stitches marks and holding two short spears, Bai Yuan was walking toward his direction. He saw blood dripping off the spearheads which meant he just killed something.

Cao Jingyi nodded her head at the guy. She checked the mission progress and found out that there were only 10 remaining left of Death Scythes. They just needed to kill 10 more goblins and they were done with the mission.

'Wow, that guy is absurdly strong. He alone almost takes down half of the Death Scythe while the group had to suffer to kill them,' Cao Jingyi thought to herself when she saw the number of the remaining Death Scythe. From the fifth floor, they killed 24 Death Scythes while she guessed Tang Shaoyang killed the remaining 22 Death Scythe in the dormitory area.

At this point, Tang Shaoyang's strength could not be measured by her.

"Five minutes rest, we will head to the laboratory after the rest!" Cao Jingyi announced.

Since they explored the hospital and Tang Shaoyang got the dormitory area, the remaining area was the laboratory.

*** ***

Cao Jingyi was not wrong, Tang Shaoyang killed 22 Death Scythes alone. He leveled up again after he killed the 17th Death Scythe.

He was quite delighted as his level increased again. With a bottle of juice in his left hand, he was checking the mission progress.

"10 Death Scythes left…" he muttered in a low voice, "What?" Kang Xue heard the man murdered something but it was unclear for her to hear.

"Nevermind, you said there's a laboratory, where is it?" He wanted to finish the mission quickly, so he decided to go to the next location.

Kang Xue was sitting in front of Heero, they just finished the battle in the third dormitory building and they were now chilling in the cafeteria, "The laboratory is the small dome in front of the first dormitory," in the meantime, Kang Xue was opening her status window.

She was now level 12, she got an extra 6 attribute points. She asked the man which attribute she had to focus on, but the man did not give her a definite answer, "It's depending on your fighting style, just do as you fit!" That was the answer she got.

She had gotten the answer, she thought the most suitable to focus on this early was the Agility and Strength. So she split the attribute point evenly on Strength and Agility.

"Break time is over! Let's go to the laboratory!" Tang Shaoyang threw the empty bottle randomly and clapped his hand.

Zhang Wen just silently watched the couple from a distance. He had noticed how strong the man was. He soon realized it was best to not offend such a guy, 'Hah, even in this time, I still can't be a hero for her,' Zhang Wen thought to himself as he lowered his head.

Before the world changed, he was just a mere security guard of a big hospital. The social status between the two was far apart, he had no hope to get her. Now the world changed, he thought he could shine at this moment, but once again, he was outshined by someone else.

The three then walked toward the doom, leaving the messed up cafeteria filled with dead bodies. The laboratory was not far from the dormitory area, it did not take a long time for them to arrive.

Since the laboratory only had one entrance, they had to walk around to reach the entrance. When Tang Shaoyang reached the entrance, he saw a group standing in front of the entrance. Cao Jingyi and the others also had just arrived.

"You guys survived! Good! Good!" Tang Shaoyang remarked with his trademark grin of his. He did not bother to count if there was missing within the group.

"What? Do you wish us to die?" Cao Jingyi talked back when she heard the irresponsible remark from their Boss.

"Of course not. I am very happy you guys survived," he maintained his smirk as he looked toward the small dome, "It seems there's only one place left!"

He then looked back toward Cao Jingyi, "Get two people to escort the remaining ten survivors. They are in the basement, that guy knows where they hide!" He ordered Cao Jingyi while pointing his index finger toward Zhang Wen.

Cao Jingyi looked toward Zhang Wen, the latter nodded his head. Afterward, she chose two people to follow Zhang Wen, one of them was Yan Sheng. Since the guy's foot was injured, it was better to send him out early. Moreover, they did not need that many people to kill the remaining 10 Death Scythe, especially with Tang Shaoyang here.

"Let's get this thing over and get our reward!" Tang Shaoyang pushed the steel door and entered the laboratory.

When he was inside the laboratory, he was surprised. This small dome should be a laboratory, but what was inside was not looking like a laboratory. It was just an empty building with nothing but a steel floor.

The dimming light limited his vision, but he could see eleven figures standing in the center of this empty building. The people behind him were also surprised, they halted their steps and scanned the surrounding.

Tang Shaoyang walked closer to get a clear look at these eleven figures. Soon, the eleven figures came into his sight, ten out of the eleven figures were Dark Goblin, the Death Scythe. But there was a different one standing in the middle.
