I Build a Floating City in the Apocalypse – Chapter 111

Chapter 111

“Within the Market Area”

The broadcast kept repeating, Ding Shan looked at the A3 paper in their hands and immediately realized that these were spell scrolls.

All held in their hands, clearly ready to be used at any moment.

And beside them were arrow towers, with personnel on duty overlooking the market area from above. In addition to that, there were dense surveillance points one after another.

Ding Shan finally understood what supported this rare prosperity in the apocalypse.

“Let’s go, inside.”

Walking into the market area, looking at the bustling crowd, almost everyone was carrying weapons and wearing armor, but there were also some people strolling around in casual clothes.

If these people weren’t experts, then they must have had great trust in the security provided by Yi Hao Village.

“Is it so safe here? They don’t even carry equipment on them?”

Ding Shan couldn’t help but ask curiously. A person next to him heard the question, looked at Ding Shan’s dusty appearance, and immediately said.

“Of course.”

The passerby pointed to the surveillance cameras everywhere.

“Fighting is prohibited here. If anyone dares to start a fight inside, Yi Hao Village won’t joke around with you.

Of course, if someone really wants to kill you, Yi Hao Village may not be able to protect you, but Yi Hao Village can guarantee that the killer will definitely die, no matter what his strength, no matter what his power, there are no exceptions.

Just this point, as long as you haven’t made any mortal enemies or anything, you basically don’t have to worry about your life in this area.

After all, this rule was established by Yi Hao Village through bloodshed.”

“Oh, thank you.”

“You’re welcome.”

The passerby sighed slightly.

“Only here can I feel some of the atmosphere from before the apocalypse, so I have more good intentions in my heart here, and I talk more.”

The passerby finished speaking with a smile, then walked into an internet cafe next to him.

The passerby’s words resonated with Ding Shan, so he watched the passerby walk into the internet cafe. Ding Shan suddenly reacted.

“Huh?! Internet cafe?!”

Ding Shan was a little incredulous and turned to look at his companions, only to find that his companions also widened their eyes.

“What the hell?”

After hesitating for a moment, Ding Shan still walked in. As soon as he entered, he was immediately stunned by the lively scene inside.

There were dozens of computers in the room, and each computer had at least three or four people watching, and the computer screens were all filled with classic single-player games.

World of Warcraft, Red Alert, CS, and so on. Ding Shan was surprised to find that they were all playing online, having a great time!

At this moment, Ding Shan was really stunned.

“Is this still the apocalypse?”

Ding Shan took a deep breath and walked out of the internet cafe with great willpower. Two of his companions had already stayed behind, unable to move their eyes away from the computer screen.

After Ding Shan walked out of the internet cafe, he suddenly smiled and started to wander around the stall area, looking at the various stalls and the diverse materials on them.

If he were to make bombs here, it seemed that the raw materials would be quite easy to collect, just buy them.

After casually strolling around the stalls, Ding Shan came to the shop area. Looking at the shops, the idea in his heart was finally confirmed.

“I don’t want to leave.”

“Huh?”

His teammates all looked at Ding Shan. Ding Shan said solemnly.

“I want to open a shop here.”

Everyone was stunned.

“A shop that sells bombs!”

“If I have the chance, I also want to build a laboratory, specifically to study magical beasts and explosives.

Think about it, wake up at eight in the morning, then spend an hour strolling around the stall area to buy raw materials, start making bombs at nine o’clock, work hard for three hours a day, and after making the bombs, go to the restaurant for a stir-fry, and have a good sleep after eating.

Wake up at 2:30 in the afternoon to open for business, sell bombs for three hours, no, two hours, get off work at 4:30, go to the internet cafe after dinner, or build my own computer, connect to the internet cafe’s LAN, and play games for two or three hours.

Then do some research in the evening, around ten o’clock, take off my armor peacefully… No, I don’t even need to wear armor, so naturally, there’s no need to take it off.

Just go straight to sleep and have a good night’s rest.”

A hopeful look appeared on Ding Shan’s face.

“If I had known that I could live a peaceful life outside, why would I have struggled in the city for so long? I would have come out long ago.”

The others were immediately envious when they heard this, but then they came to their senses and asked.

“But, Teacher Ding, you have enough strength to ensure your own safety now.

But if you don’t continue to strive, your strength will eventually be surpassed by many people, and then…”

“Strength? Continue to strive? It’s like saying that if I continue to strive, I can be invincible in the world. I’m not good at fighting at all.”

“Although you all can’t beat me, that’s because there was really no other way in the city before, I couldn’t find a safe place, so I reluctantly picked up the hammer.

I’m an intellectual! I graduated with a doctorate from a prestigious university!”

Ding Shan waved his watermelon-sized hammer as he spoke, the air cracking, making people look sideways.

“I can make ordinary bombs now. Once I have an in-depth understanding of magical beasts and spells, why can’t I make stronger bombs?

As long as I can achieve results, then I’m a civilian staff, I’m a scientific researcher, and I’ll be highly sought after wherever I go.

Everyone will have to smile at me when they see me, believe it or not, I’ll have a team of people protecting me wherever I go.

Why should I still fight outside? Wouldn’t it be enough to fight in the laboratory?”

Ding Shan said disdainfully, leaving everyone speechless. Without waiting for them to say anything, Ding Shan turned around to inquire about opening a shop.

Everyone looked at each other.

“The boss is going to wash his hands of the golden basin… bah, abandon martial arts for literature, but if he leaves, what about us?”

Ding Shan was the strongest among them and could also make bombs, so he was their leader.

At the same time, because of his original profession, some people liked to call him Teacher Ding.

But no matter what they called him, it meant the same thing.

And now the leader said he wouldn’t do it anymore, and everyone suddenly didn’t know what to say.

They couldn’t stop this kind of thing, and they really couldn’t stop it.

But what should they do?

While they were at a loss, Ding Shan had already arrived at the door of Fang Bai’s shop. Looking at the price, he immediately took out a crystal core and exchanged it for a Fireball spell scroll.

The Fireball scroll unfolded, and a model encased in a three-dimensional hexagram floated in the air.

The hexagram was also composed of spell nodes and spell lines, but they were all useless distractions.

And when Ding Shan saw these spell nodes and elemental pathways, Ding Shan wasn’t surprised at all, only understanding.

“Sure enough.”

A smile appeared on Ding Shan’s face.

“So this is magic?”

“This is magic!”

“Then what is a mage?”

Ding Shan vaguely grasped something, and his heart was no longer anxious, calming down.

And the team members behind him discussed for a long time, and finally one of them came up with a constructive suggestion.

“Why don’t we just join this Yi Hao Village?

With our strength, we should be able to get a lot of preferential treatment if we join Yi Hao Village, right?

Since Teacher Ding isn’t leaving, then we might as well not leave either, just join.

Anyway, it’s not embarrassing to join a force with a mage, and besides, look at this scene, Yi Hao Village definitely has a future!”

This person pointed to Fang Bai’s spell scroll shop and the market.

His words made the team members fall into deep thought. They hadn’t made a decision yet, but Ding Shan’s heart stirred when he heard it.

Wait, join… Yi Hao Village?
