I Build a Floating City in the Apocalypse – Chapter 14

Chapter 14

“Get ready, I’ll deal with the strongest one. You guys take care of the rest, don’t let them interfere with me.”

Yang Jian said in a low voice. No one answered, they just tightened their grip on their weapons.

Bai Qing quickly ran towards the entrance of the underground parking lot, but the distance between him and the zombies was still gradually closing.

Fang Bai frowned slightly as he looked at the speed of the zombie. After a moment of hesitation, he spoke.

“Yang Jian, this zombie might be a bit strong, be careful.”

Yang Jian also felt something was wrong and nodded.

“Yes, thank you, I’ll be careful. You guys be careful too, come help me as soon as you’ve killed the zombies.”

Yang Jian said as he stepped forward, while Fang Bai and the others scattered to both sides.

Just as they were getting ready, Bai Qing had already rushed in front of Yang Jian, and the strongest zombie was close behind, only a few meters away from Bai Qing.

Bai Qing swept past where Yang Jian was standing. Yang Jian looked at the zombie chasing behind, took a horse stance, twisted his waist and swung his hips, and fiercely smashed the steel bar in his hand outwards.

The zombie reacted with incredible agility, twisting its body to avoid the attack and leaping towards Yang Jian. Its five fingers sharpened as it opened its hands, like a beast of prey pouncing!

Fang Bai didn’t dare to look more, and directly tightened his grip on the pot lid shield and claw hammer, charging towards the ordinary zombies following closely behind with the others. But their impact and attacks didn’t achieve the expected effect at all.

After a day, these ordinary zombies seemed to have developed some animal instincts, and they actually had some coordination and skills.

Fang Bai suddenly felt that these zombies were becoming less and less like the zombies in the movies, but more like a new type of predatory beast, humanoid in shape, carrying a deadly infectious virus.

Of the eleven zombies, apart from the three that Fang Bai, Bai Qing, and another person dealt with at the beginning, the rest of the group and the zombies were actually in a stalemate for a while.

And at this moment, a muffled groan suddenly came from behind. Fang Bai immediately looked back.

He saw that Yang Jian was violently hit in the chest and abdomen by the zombie. The steel bar in his hand slipped, and his whole body was instantly sent flying backwards, crashing to the ground.

“Brother!”

Yang Bo’s eyes widened, and he spoke anxiously. But as soon as he tried to move, he was dragged back by the zombies.

These zombies had actually learned to hunt like a pack of wolves!

Everyone who realized this instantly turned ashen. As soon as the zombie killed Yang Jian, everyone would surely die. A sense of despair permeated the air.

“Damn it!”

Bai Qing cursed in a low voice. Just as he was about to say something, Fang Bai spoke.

“I can break through here, I’ll go hold the zombie back.”

Hearing this, Yang Bo forcefully pushed back the zombies and turned to look.

“Fang Bai, please, save my brother. It was my fault just now, I was too arrogant. I’ll accept any punishment later!”

Fang Bai didn’t speak. He held up his shield, resisted a blow from the zombie, and then forcefully charged out from a weak point.

Seeing this, a glimmer of hope emerged in everyone’s hearts, along with a sense of sorrow.

Because they understood that Fang Bai’s chances of survival were slim.

Seeing this, Bai Qing gritted his teeth and said,

“Push forward, kill these damned things and support them!”

As soon as Bai Qing finished speaking, he charged forward fiercely, slamming into a zombie. Using himself as bait, he quickly opened a gap while attracting the zombies’ attacks. Seeing this, the others immediately followed Bai Qing, breaking into the horde and quickly attacking and killing the zombies.

Fang Bai, on the other hand, was rushing towards where Yang Jian was.

Yang Jian happened to fall in his direction, closer to Fang Bai.

Fang Bai rushed over directly, looked at the incoming zombie, twisted his body, shield bashed, and the claw hammer fell.

Seeing Fang Bai, the zombie directly abandoned Yang Jian, turned its body to avoid the attack, and pounced towards Fang Bai.

“Be careful.”

Yang Jian, who had fallen to the ground, was about to warn him when he couldn’t help but widen his eyes.

He saw that under the zombie’s continuous attacks, Fang Bai dodged again and again, and even seized the opportunity to give the zombie a hard blow.

Fang Bai’s dodging speed wasn’t fast, and his agility wasn’t particularly strong either, but it was as if Fang Bai could anticipate the zombie’s every attack. And every time, the claw hammer in his hand could accurately deflect the zombie’s attack.

Simply put, the zombie’s attacks were fast and powerful, but Fang Bai could capture the attacks that Yang Jian couldn’t even see clearly. And every time, the claw hammer in his hand could accurately hit the side of the zombie’s claws, deflecting its power.

Yang Jian, who had practiced for a period of time, couldn’t help but widen his eyes as he watched all of this, murmuring in surprise,

“So strong.”

At the same time, a sense of shame surged into his heart.

Fang Bai, who was in the midst of battle, didn’t pay attention to the outside world. All his attention was focused on the fight, completely concentrated. The perception ability symbolized by his ten points in Mental Power was being utilized to its fullest.

Fang Bai’s originally very keen perception was now entirely focused on this zombie. The zombie’s every move seemed to be magnified in Fang Bai’s eyes, as if it had slowed down.

And Fang Bai, who was fully focused, felt an unprecedented calmness in his heart in this dangerous situation, without a trace of panic. The mental calculation ability symbolized by his ten points in Mental Power was fully utilized under the premise of calmness.

Unlike others who rely on instinct and subconscious reactions when facing attacks, Fang Bai could react, and he could think and calculate a lot before responding to or even counterattacking every attack.

At this moment, the ten points in Mental Power, representing the limit of human potential, radiated a dazzling brilliance in the field of close combat. After getting used to this state, Fang Bai dealt with the zombie more easily and skillfully.

Bang!

After dodging the zombie’s attack for the third time, Fang Bai seized an opening exposed by the zombie and smashed his hammer with all his might on the zombie’s right arm joint. With a cracking sound, the zombie’s arm fractured and twisted.

Fang Bai immediately used his shield to block in front, charged forward, and at the moment the zombie lost its balance, he grabbed the shield with one hand and raised the claw hammer high with the other, swinging it down and fiercely smashing it onto the zombie’s temple.

Bang!

When Bai Qing, having finished clearing the zombies with all his might, turned back with everyone to support Fang Bai, at this moment, everyone saw a shocking scene.

The powerful zombie’s arm was twisted and it fell to the ground. Fang Bai stood beside it, blocking the zombie’s final attack with his shield in one hand, and fiercely smashing down the claw hammer in the other.

Bang!

Crack!

Thud!

The claw hammer sank into the zombie’s temple. The powerful force poured in, shattering its brain, and the zombie instantly lost its strength.

Fang Bai lifted the claw hammer and smiled slightly at everyone.

“I’ve lived up to your expectations, I held the zombie back.”

Everyone looked at this scene in shock. Only when Fang Bai spoke did they come back to their senses.

Fang Bai won?!

No, wait, what did Fang Bai just say? Hold back? Hold back!

He called this holding back?!

Forget it, that’s not the point. The point is…

Everyone looked down at the zombie with its full skin and muscles, then at the injured Yang Jian, and then at Fang Bai. The surprise and astonishment in their eyes were simply unconcealable.

Fang Bai, who had seemed ordinary and unremarkable in the team before, was actually so strong?

They had thought that compared to capable people like Yang Jian and Yang Bo, Fang Bai’s going solo seemed rather reckless and arrogant.

But now it seemed that they were the clowns?

At this time, Yang Bo also helped Yang Jian up and walked over, bowing his head in acknowledgement.

“Fang Bai, thank you for saving my brother. I was blind to your abilities before, I’m sorry.

If you need anything in the future, just tell me.”

“It’s okay, it’s okay.”

Fang Bai said with a chuckle, turning his head to look at Yang Jian.

“Yang Jian, how are your injuries? No broken skin, right?”

Yang Jian waved his hand with a pale face and pulled open the padded jacket that had been grabbed, revealing the books inside with a few scratches.

But fortunately, the books weren’t pierced.

“My chest feels tight, I might have a cracked rib, but I’m fine. I have to thank you this time.

Just like Yang Bo said, if you need anything in the future, just tell me.”

Fang Bai waved his hand and didn’t say anything.

And at this time, a white light flowed around the zombie’s arm. Seeing the familiar scene, Fang Bai’s eyes suddenly revealed a hint of surprise.

“It actually dropped equipment?!”
