Chapter 112 - Survival Game - Part 2

"Huff… huff…" Luo Lan was out of breath. She has been running for almost an hour from the Flame Castle's pursuers. However, she did not voice a single complaint to his boyfriend as she kept up.

Yu Shun was aware of his girlfriend's condition, so he immediately scanned the surroundings to see a good hiding spot. While looking for the hiding spot, he noticed a half-opened gate in the front.

He immediately recognized this place, the famous HZ Bay where most of his "friends" were living. With a deep breath, he picked Luo Lan with his arms and dashed toward the residence. He chose a random big mansion to hide.

"Huff… huff… huff…" Both were hiding behind the curtain, Yu Shun could feel his girlfriend's hot breath on the neck. He took a bottle of water from the backpack and handed the bottle to Luo Lan.

Without any words, Luo Lan took the bottle and chucked the water into her mouth. After a half bottle of water, her condition was getting a little better. She was about to open her mouth to ask, but Yu Shun placed his finger to her lips. He pointed toward the outside, right at the entrance gate.

Luo Lan followed her boyfriend's finger. She found a group of people in red attire loitering around the gate. The girl furrowed her brows, "It's been a few days, why don't they just give up?" A frustrated voice flowed out of her mouth.

Yu Shun did not answer her. The reason he had been running away from these people was that he did not want to fight against the fellow humans unless he was forced to. At this point, these people were forcing him to fight them.

"I will fight them if they find us out," Yu Shun whispered to the girl. Luo Lan however shook her head, "No! Let's just keep running, you don't have to fight them," as a teacher herself, she knew the mental burden of killing people even in this kind of crazy world. The guilt of killing people must be piling up inside him. If one day he broke out, she did not know what would happen to him. She did not want to imagine it or even that thing to happen.

"Should not have killed that bastard…" Yu Shun muttered in a low voice. The bastard in his mouth was Huo Zhengsheng. He killed him in the spur of fury. These people kept chasing them even though they managed to escape from them from time to time.

Now he regretted it a little because Luo Lan had to suffer because of his impulsiveness, "No, let's stop running! I will kill them now and we move to the farthest place from SZ City afterward," Yu Shun decided to fight these people.

The group was twenty-one people, the same people who chased them after they escaped from the establishment. They slowly made their way into the HZ Bay. The tallest one amongst the group seemed the leader of the group, he took the lead and instructed the people around him.

'I have to kill him first!' Yu Shun started to make his plan on how to attack the group, 'If the leader died then the others should be easy,' if the leader died, the others would panic. Since their strongest one got taken down, it would cause a disorder within the group, 'I can't mess up with the first attack!'

At this moment, Yu Shun saw another group at the entrance. The group was twelve people, then the former group immediately regrouped, and they lined up in order as they greeted the newly coming group. The man he thought was the leader approached the new group. He bowed his head to greet the new group.

Yu Shun had a bad feeling about this. The leader of the former group talked something to the new group. He witnessed the leader getting slapped in the cheek but the leader only kept his head down.

Then, they entered the HZ Bay together. When all thirteen people entered the gate, a notification rang in his head.

[The condition has been met! You have triggered the Survival Game!]

—————————

[Survival Game]

Objective: [Survive!]

Participants: [Tang Empire: 64 Players!] [The Flame Castle: 33 Players] [No Faction/Neutral: 205 Players]

Reward:???

[Good Luck and hope you survive ^.^]

—————————

"Urgh!" Yu Shun's lips twitched at the sight of the smiley emoji at the end of the screen. He then looked toward his girlfriend, "Did you also…?" He did not finish it as Luo Lan nodded her head. She also received the same notification.

Meanwhile, the group outside the mansion also halted their steps the moment the notification rang in their head. They looked back and noticed that the gate behind them was blocked by a black barrier.

[You have 12 hours until the first portal to be summoned!]

[Get prepared to conquer the portal! If you don't conquer the portal within seven days, monsters will pour out from the portal, and you may become their food! Good luck ^.^]

*** ***

Everyone within the HZ Bay received the same notification. Tang Shaoyang and his team were also the same. What came into Tang Shaoyang's mind was to look back, he was relieved when he found all his people entered the HZ Bay successfully.

Even though the reward was a question mark, with more people following they could get more reward as from his experience, the reward distributed based on the number of the participants.

With the notification, the convoy stopped their cars and gathered to discuss what they should do now. The path to go back had been blocked so everyone had their eyes on Tang Shaoyang. He was the leader, so they could only rely on him.

Tang Shaoyang checked the panel once again. The objective was clear, to survive for 49 days or kill all eight bosses. These bosses should be related to the portal that would appear in twelve hours. He then looked at the participant list, he saw over two hundred people were no factions.

With this information, a plan formulated in his mind. However, he must take a point into consideration. They had traveled from the morning to the evening, killing zombies, and looking for the mini-game.

He scanned his people, sure enough, most of them were tired from traveling, "Alright, the real game will start in twelve hours. I will give you guys three hours break. Whether you want to take a short nap or whatever, after three hours you have to work, go look for the survivors!"

Tang Shaoyang guessed that over two hundred people were the survivors trapped in the game along with them. His purpose to come to HZ Bay was to save these people anyway, so he planned to gather the survivor before facing the portal.

"What about we do search now and use the remaining five hours to rest? So we can be more prepared for the portal," Zhang Mengyao voiced her thoughts as soon as Tang Shaoyang finished his words.

She did not intend to refute him to make him look bad in front of other people. She said this was for the team's interest. Tang Shaoyang did not immediately respond to her, he nodded his head as he turned toward Lu An.

Lu An has an "I follow your order whatever it is!" face. So he turned toward Wei Xi, asking for others' opinions as well.

"I agree with G-General Mengyao's idea," It was a bit awkward for him to call Zhang Mengyao with the rank, but he had to do it, especially in front of many people like this, "We don't know what we will face behind the portal, so getting rest before the real game is a better option,"

Since Wei Xi knew more about Tang Shaoyang, he was not afraid of contradicting his Boss, especially on this occasion. He knew that Tang Shaoyang was not someone that would be offended over something like this, his Boss was not that petty despite his overbearingness.

"I agree with the idea as well," Tang Shaoyang grinned as he looked at his other subordinates, "You don't have time to rest boys! Move your lazy ass over!" The shout was accompanied by an evil laugh.

Despite being exhausted, no one complained as they started to gather in a group.

Kang Xue slipped to the back of Tang Shaoyang. She tugged him, "What about my family?" The moment this Survival Game started, she started to get even more worried about her family.

Tang Shaoyang turned around and smiled at the girl, "We will be looking for them. You still remember your home, right?" He asked. HZ Bay was surprisingly big, looking for people randomly in this place would take a lot of time.

Kang Xue nodded in return, of course, she still remembered where her house was.

"Good, hop on! We will start our search from your house," he bent his body down and offered his back for her to get on. "Urgh!" Kang Xue did not know how to respond to this as she felt this was unnecessary. She was too embarrassed to get on, especially with many people around.

"Why are you getting embarrassed? This way we can reach your house faster unless you can run as fast as I do," Tang Shaoyang could not help but shake his head at the thin-skinned Kang Xue. It was just a piggyback, no big deal.

In the end, Kang Xue lowered her head and hopped on his back. At this moment, she did not want to face anyone, she buried her head on his shoulder.

"I will trust the people with you!" He spoke to Zhang Mengyao. The latter nodded and gave a kiss to his cheek, "Mnn, you also have to be careful,"
