78 Death Scythe (1/2)

There was a big crowd of zombies inside. The zombies were roaming around aimlessly. It was as if they were guarding the entrance. On top of that, the door was closed.

”Tch, how I am supposed to sneak in?” Tang Shaoyang muttered quietly. It was not that he was afraid of the zombie, but he came to scout not to kill them. Scouting was supposed to be secretly gathering intel, right? Tang Shaoyang thought to himself.

”Nah, who cares!? This is my way of scouting!” In the end, he gave up to scout sneakily. He opened the glass door which immediately attracted the zombie's attention. All the zombies were merely Stage-1 Zombie hence he easily cleared them all.

After killing the zombie, he stopped right in front of the big counter while looking right and left, 'Where should I go now?'

”Maybe to the right…” the words stopped midway as he heard something from the left corridor. His hearing detecting a slight movement from the left, whether it was just him hearing things or maybe there was something on the left, he changed his mind as he headed to the left.

To his delight, he found something that he did not expect to find. A head popped out from a door, she glanced to the right and the left cautiously. Maybe the lack of lightning limited her vision hence she did not see him.

Tang Shaoyang without much thought approaching the girl. But then he saw a small creature appear in front of the woman. The creature tried to slice the woman's neck with its scary scythe.

'I won't allow that to happen!' Knowing the woman was his objective, Tang Shaoyang would not allow the creature to kill the woman. He rushed forward with all his might and slammed the creature with his Destroyer.

Boom!

”Hello, lady! Don't daze around like that or you may get killed!” Tang Shaoyang greeted the woman. But then, the woman seemed to be shocked by the event she just experienced as she did not react to his greeting.

At this moment, he heard a movement from behind. Based on the slight noise they made, it was not just one but about four to six, he was not sure about that.

Kang Xue was holding her breath with a destroyed wall and a big battle-ax struck on it right in front of her. She thought she was dead for sure just now.

She then turned her head around and saw a man smiled at her. Then she heard the man speak to her, ”Is this the thing called saving the damsel in distress?”

Then she noticed a change of look on the man's face when they met face to face.

”But the damsel is an ugly duckling, not a beauty,” The man playfully remarked afterward.

”I am not an ugly duckling, I am a swan!” Kang Xue blurted out. She did not know why but there was an urge to rebut the man who just saved her. She did cover her mouth afterward though.

He pulled the Destroyer from the wall and held the girl's waist, ”Where are we going, Ugly Swan?”

Kang Xue gritted her teeth as she accepted the name unwillingly. They indeed had to move out from their spot or the monsters would come for them.

”Run ahead and turn right at the third door! We have to get the medicine first before we return to the second floor!”

Swoosh!

She was shocked as the man was moving so fast. A big blow of wind hit her face and in a few seconds, they arrived at the third door. As they entered the door, the man put her down and stayed near the door.

”Go get the medicine, I will guard the door…” Tang Shaoyang paused as he found the room had two doors that led to a different room, ”Follow me closely!”

He then walked toward the door to the right. With a light step, he reached the door, and he tried to peek through the circular glass. He tried to secure the room so the girl could get the medicine safely.

The room behind the door was dark with a few desks inside. He saw nothing inside. ”Where's the medicine?” Asked Tang Shaoyang without looking back.

”The other door! We store the medicine inside!” Kang Xue replied as quietly as possible. She did not want to alert the monster or the zombie, just in case monsters were hiding inside the room.

”Follow me closely, less than a meter, understand!” Tang Shaoyang turned around and ordered the girl. He was no longer being playful and Kang Xue could tell that by his expression. She nodded her head nervously.

Tang Shaoyang then walked toward the door ahead of them. He peeked inside and it was darker than the beforehand room. Inside, he could see a big shelf lined up orderly where the medicine was stored.

Glak!
