Armipotent

Chapter 79 - Ambush

Indeed, Tang Shaoyang was rushing back with the doctor around his armpit. However, the Death Scythe did not chase him. Cao Jingyiʼs prediction was half right.

”Why? Why donʼt you save the others as well?” Kang Xue kept bothering Tang Shaoyang with his decision to leave the hospital without the others.

Tang Shaoyang did not bother to reply to the woman with her complaints. However, he had his reasons why he came back without the other survivors.

He dropped the woman down and called his people to gather, ”I have bad news and good news. The good news is I managed to get a living map!” Tang Shaoyang pointed to the woman he just dropped, ”You are a doctor from this hospital, right?”

Along with the query, the othersʼ gaze fell to Kang Xue. The girl did not know the man was not alone and had his friends wait outside. She subconsciously nodded her head at the question.

”Then you know the hospitalʼs layout, right?” Right after the nod, he asked the next question. Kang Xue did not know why he asked her that but she nodded her head in return.

”The bad news is about the Death Scythe. First, the thing called Death Scythe has a swift movement that is hard to catch with your naked eyes!” He was pointing his eyes. While rushing out earlier, he was sure Death Scythe was chasing him but when he tried to peek, he saw nothing, at all. That was why he concluded Death Scythe was hard to catch with naked eyes.

”Second, that monster is quite durable. I hit one of them with my Destroyer. I am pretty sure I hit its chest but it did not die! Based on that creatureʼs size, it should die as I did not hold back!” Tang Shaoyang was a hundred percent sure the Death Scythe he smashed was still alive. Based on the mission screens, 88 Death Scythe were still alive.

”Yes, I am sure you did not hold back. I heard it and it was quite clear in my ears!” Cao Jingyi remarked satirically.

Tang Shaoyang ignored those remarks as he remembered something, ”Oh, we have a good advantage as well! Outside is a safe place for us to stay! The Death Scythe does not chase to the outside of the building! We can use that to our advantage!”

”Then what are going to do now, Boss?” Qin Shoushan opened his mouth and asked. Since Tang Shaoyang knew the monster well, then the Boss might have some plans in his mind.

Kang Xue was stunned when the stout-looking Qin Shoushan called the man who just saved her with Boss. She was shocked a little as to how this good-looking man could make these scary-looking people call him Boss.

”For now, we will split the team into two. Six people stay behind to protect the kids and the rest follow me to rescue the remaining survivors inside! I have found 21 survivors including this girl!”

”Why donʼt you bring them out just now if you have found them?” Cao Jingyi again questioned Tang Shaoyangʼs decision. She was pretty sure that Tang Shaoyang was strong enough to face the Death Scythe.

”Are you deaf or what? Didnʼt I say just now that the thing called Death Scythe is hard to see with your naked eyes? How am I supposed to protect 21 people if I canʼt see them while I only have two hands? I canʼt cover them all!” Tang Shaoyang could not help but reply in a sarcastic tone with a smirk formed on his lips.

He was having an ”Are you an idiot?” expression as he replied Wei Xiʼs wife.

Yes, the reason he did not immediately come to save the other survivors because of this reason. He could not protect them all when they were too many. On top of that, he made a commotion that would attract the monsters to him. If he decided to bring the survivors out with him alone, the survivors most likely would die by the Death Scythe.

”Now you can stop complaining to me, Ugly Swan! I am not abandoning them but I need my friends to save them!” Tang Shaoyang turned around and looked at the still stunned doctor.

”Kekek??? Ugly Swan…” Zhao Zhong chuckled as he glanced at the doctor. From the current appearance, the girl indeed looked a little bit ugly. However, it was because she was dingy and her short hair also looked tacky, just like some who did not take baths for weeks. Putting aside that, the doctor actually had a hot body. It was apparent with her bulging asset behind her blue shirt.

ʼBoss truly has divine luck on a woman!ʼ Zhao Zhong thought to himself.

Kang Xue gritted her teeth as she just accepted being called Ugly Swan. She was quite smart to read the situation she was in. This group was her and the other survivorsʼ hope. She could not openly show her dissatisfaction to the Boss of the group.

Meanwhile, Li Na secretly looked at the doctor and Tang Shaoyang, back and forth. The doctorʼs appearance alarmed her as both looked so close despite this was their first meeting. She clenched her fist secretly as she could not help but feel jealous.

ʼYou have to work harder, Li Na!ʼ The girl tried to encourage herself.

After that, they formed a group and left six people behind to protect the children. Tang Shaoyang and Kang Xue were in the front, leading the group to the hospital. They entered through the lobby.

Badump! Badump! Badump!

Kang Xueʼs heartbeat started to accelerate again upon the sight of the hospitalʼs entrance. She just came out of this dangerous place but she decided to enter again.

Slowly, the group made their way into the hospital. Earlier, Kang Xue was not focused on the surroundings as she was yelling at Tang Shaoyang to return. Now, she got a clear look at the lobby.

Her mouth was open in an O-shape as she saw the zombieʼs dead bodies scattered around. Dozens of zombies died tragically in the lobby.

At this sight, Kang Xue could not help but crook her head toward Tang Shaoyang. She was amazed by the man who she did not know the name was. Her eyes sparkled in admiration.

It was as if Tang Shaoyang had an eye on the side of his head, he could know the girl was looking at him.

”What? Do you fall in love with this handsome dude?” Tang Shaoyangʼs narcissistic remark caused Kang Xueʼs face to flush red. Fortunately, it was hidden beneath her dingy cheeks, so no one noticed it. She then immediately looked forward and continued to walk.

Even though Tang Shaoyang was teasing the girl, he had a focus on his surroundings. To his surprise, the Death Scythe did not wait for them at the entrance. The Death Scythe did not attack even after they entered the hospital in a big group.

ʼThese guys must be smart…ʼ Tang Shaoyang noted it in his mind. First of all, the moment he entered the lobby, he could feel gazes from the right empty corridor. But the feelings of being watched vanished after the group entered the lobby, meaning they retreated after being outnumbered. This was bad news for him, Death Scythe would be tricky to deal with as they did not attack in sight just like the mindless zombie.

The others felt apprehensive since Tang Shaoyang told them the creature could not be seen with naked eyes. Their eyes were darting around as they were afraid the monster would ambush. However, to the groupʼs surprise, they did not encounter any attack or ambush even after they reached the second floor.

”They are inside!” Kang Xue was pointing at the door led toward the storage room. She opened the door and the twenty survivors were inside.

Kang Xue dashed in, she immediately walked the corner to find the boy. The boyʼs condition was not getting better but it was fortunate enough his condition did not get worsened. She tore the plastic back and took a small bottle, ”Give me water!”

While Kang Xue was feeding the medicine to the boy, the other survivors were surprised but also delighted at the same time as they found an armed group came to rescue them.

”You arrange the people inside, I will guard the door!” Tang Shaoyang chose Cao Jingyi and Li Na to organize the survivors. Of course, at this point, the survivors were listening to Cao Jingyiʼs every instruction.

After brief instructions from Cao Jingyi, the survivors followed the group willingly.

The Tarrior surrounded the survivors, they put the survivors in the middle so they could protect them. This time, Bai Yuan, Qin Shoushan, and Zhao Zhong led the group in the front while Tang Shaoyang stayed on the backline.

Meanwhile, Li Na was bringing the sick boy with her. She volunteered herself as she could rely on her summon to fight. Everything went smoothly until they reached the emergency stairs.

With his own eyes, Tang Shaoyang saw two shiny blades slicing his two peopleʼs heads.

”Get down! Everyone GET DOWN!” Tang Shaoyang immediately yelled as he rushed forward, holding the Destroyer at the edge of the handle, he swung the battle-ax in the air.

”They come from the top! Run! Run! Run!”

Screams and panicking shriek filled the hallway as everyone saw two heads rolled down on the ground.

”STOP F*CKING SCREAMING AND RUN, YOU IDIOTS! RUN!!!” Tang Shaoyang yelled out of his lungs as he kept rotating his battle-ax in the air.

Only then, they ran toward the emergency stairs. Thanks to Tang Shaoyangʼs quick reaction, they managed to reach the emergency stair safely after the first two victims of the Death Scythe.

While everyone was running, Tang Shaoyang did not follow them. He stood at the door toward the emergency stairs with his battle-ax.

”Since you are here, I will not let you escape from my grasp!” He planned to fight the Death Scythe alone. He looked up.

On the dark ceiling, red eyes shone, many of them. All those eyes were looking at Tang Shaoyang as well.
