Chapter 76 - Scout

[The condition has been met! You have triggered Normal Mode Mini-Game!]

Not only Yan Guangli, the children, and everyone received the same notification. The moment the notification rang Bai Yuan immediately stepped on the brake.

Tang Shaoyang rubbed the space between his eyebrows when he heard the notification. Ha actually liked the mini-game a lot as it gave him reward and level. The problem was they were bringing children with them.

Tang Shaoyang was a little bit frustrated as he got out of the car. As frustrated as he was, he still needed to protect the kids. He agreed to bring them with him so now they were his responsibilities. It was not the time to blame anyone.

Just as he closed the car door with a bang, a translucent screen appeared in front of his eyes.

----------------------------

Tang Shaoyang read the objective and skipped the failure as his eyes immediately landed on the reward. He never thought they would fail so he did skip the failure thing.

"As expected! The reward is so generous…" he muttered while looking at Destroyer. He got his battle-ex from clearing the mini-game in a mansion. It was from a level 9 Treasure Chest.

'Does it mean the lower of the level of the Treasure Chest the more precious the thing inside the chest?' Tang Shaoyang asked himself within his mind.

'Let's think about that later…' he then looked at the translucent screen once again. The objective was to rescue the survivors and kill the Death Scythe.

'Let's hope the survivors are the people we are looking for… as for the Death Scythe… No clue!' He shook his head.

By now, everyone had read the objective of the mini-game. The reward was certainly tantalizing for them. But everyone knew that there would be a high risk behind the huge reward. At this time, everyone looked at Tang Shaoyang.

While everyone was waiting for Tang Shaoyang's instruction, Cao Jingyi walked toward Tang Shaoyang in a hurry.

"What's wrong?" Asked Tang Shaoyang to the woman who looked flurried.

"We lost two cars!" Cao Jingyi pointed toward the back of the bus. There were supposed to be another two cars behind the bus but not the two cars were nowhere to be seen.

At this moment, only then Tang Shaoyang realized the entrance was also blocked by a barrier. He could not see the thing beyond the gate, it was just a reflection of the bright sky. He was mainly too focused on the objective.

"More work to do it seems…" he muttered in a low voice. Two cars were separated from them, meaning now they left with 24 people that could fight the unknown Death Scythe.

"Alright, guys. Let's gather and talk about how to finish this mini-game. As a note, we are going to complete both objectives! Keep that in your mind!" Tang Shaoyang called out his people.

"You too, come here and hear the discussion! You are the person in charge of taking care of the kids!" He pointed at Yan Guangli before looking at the two females, "Take care of the kids while we are discussing!" He was ordering not asking them to listen to him.

Yan Guangli nodded his head furiously as he instructed the two female caretakers to watch the children before he came to join the group.

Cao Jingyi frowned, she did not agree with that, the plan of completing both objectives. She raised her hand to speak out her objection, "Shouldn't it be wiser if we prioritize our survival over the rewards! People's lives are more important than the rewards!"

"I never said to throw your lives inside!" Tang Shaoyang talked back as he pointed to the spooky hospital behind with his thumb, "We are here to talk about that, how to complete both objectives while prioritizing our survival!"

"Though it's unlikely for all of us to survive in this death game, " Said Tang Shaoyang while grinning at his people, "I have experienced twice of this death game. In the first one, I almost lost my life. The second one was easy for me but Lu An almost lost his life! Well, good luck to you guys!"

"Stop joking around! Why do you want to complete both objectives? Give us a good reason for that?" Demanded Cao Jingyi.

"The reason?" He pointed at the Destroyer resting on top of the car, "I got my weapon from my first death game!" He then grinned at Cao Jingyi, "Have you seen Lu An's sword? We got that sword from the second death game!" Tang Shaoyang's grin became wider as he continued, "Do you know where I got the smart base from? The place that became your house now? Do you know? I also got that from the second death game!"

"From these three different rewards, they have something in common! Do you know what it is?" He asked Cao Jingyi.

"They helped you survive in the outside world!" Cao Jingyi was smart enough to know where the talk would be directed to. Tang Shaoyang was trying to tell them to get the reward as much as possible to increase their survivability in the outside world. She could not refute that if the reward was so rich. Especially the smart base, it was the most valuable reward so far.

"Smart! This death game is a chance to enhance our strength as you rarely encounter one. Rather than prioritizing our survival we better maximize our gains!" He then smirked, "Unless you want to stay at the lower bottom rung forever, I will not force you to follow me!"

"Good enough for me! You convinced me to put my life at risk, Boss!" Zhao Zhong immediately voiced his agreement, "Your will is my goal!" He slammed his chest.

'No wonder he's so strong. He always put his life at risk,' Thought Qin Shoushan to himself before he voiced his agreement, "I will follow you, Boss!"

After the two voiced their willingness, the others followed in tow.

"I don't ask for your agreement though! You have to follow my order!" His lips cracked into a smirk.

Cao Jingyi rolled her eyes, "Stop roleplaying, what's your plan?"

"I indeed have a plan, a straightforward plan! Do any of us know the layout of the hospital?" He asked. The question was directed to everyone but his gaze fell onto Bai Yuan.

"I don't know!" Bai Yuan shook his head. He stayed in the hospital but mostly he was in a coma. Even after the disaster struck, he immediately left the hospital with his girlfriend and his sister. The others also did not know.

"Never mind then. First of all, our mission is to secure all the survivors. If they die we will fail the game! As we don't know the layout and what our enemy looks like, we need to send a scout inside!"

When Tang Shaoyang mentioned a scout, everyone tightened their breath, the brave Cao Jingyi was no exception.

"Relax guys, I am the scout!" Tang Shaoyang grinned playfully. He was teasing them on purpose, "I will look for the layout of the hospital and focus our search on a certain area where the survivors most likely to stay rather than blindly looking for the survivors in this huge hospital while testing our enemy, the unknown Death Scythe!"

"My guess the survivors will hide around the cafeteria or in the cafeteria! They need food to survive, after all! But we will talk about that later," Tang Shaoyang then looked toward Cao Jingyi.

"While I am scouting the hospital, you divide the people into a team! We have to split up to look for the survivors!" He pointed to Cao Jingyi as the person in charge of dividing the team.

Cao Jingyi knew more about his people's strength so she could split the people into a balanced team.

"Alright, guys! Wish me luck! If I am dead, then maybe none of you could survive from this death game!" Again, he did not forget to tease his people with his playful remarks and grin while bidding them farewell.
