I Build a Floating City in the Apocalypse – Chapter 3

Chapter 3

“Let’s do it!”

Fang Bai muttered, but immediately regained his composure.

“Since I’ve decided to take a gamble, I need to do it as soon as possible, seize the time.

Being one step ahead will lead to being steps ahead later. These zombies are so weak, once most people recover, they will definitely be the best choice for grinding experience.

They have large numbers and weak strength, and zombies will eat all the flesh and blood after killing people. This way, even if the corpses turn into zombies, they will be immobile cripples.

It won’t take long for the zombies to be wiped out. By then, if I want to grind experience points, I might have to find other ways and face greater dangers.”

Fang Bai searched around his house and finally found a claw hammer about 40 centimeters long.

Holding the claw hammer, he weighed it and swung it a few times. Fang Bai’s eyes lit up.

“I take back what I just said. A hammer with a suitable weight is also a very good weapon.”

Fang Bai looked at the claw hammer and touched the hammerhead regretfully.

“It’s just a pity that the hammerhead is flat. If the hammerhead were cone-shaped, it would definitely be better than an ice axe.

But this should be enough.”

Fang Bai armed himself fully, holding the claw hammer in one hand and the pot lid shield in the other, and opened the door.

Looking at the zombie corpses on the ground, Fang Bai squatted down and slammed the hammer down hard.

“Bang!”

The zombie’s skull shattered, red and white splattering out.

“Beautiful!”

The skull was more fragile than Fang Bai had imagined and was directly smashed by the claw hammer.

Fang Bai was very satisfied with this effect.

“Are there any crystal cores?”

Fang Bai whispered, and as he spoke, he picked up the wooden spear beside him and started searching.

“Unfortunately, there are no crystal cores. This key should be to his house, right?”

Fang Bai didn’t find any crystal cores, but he did find a house key in the zombie’s pocket.

Picking up the key, Fang Bai walked directly to the opposite door, inserted the claw hammer into his waist, held the pot lid shield to protect his head with one hand, and knocked on the door with the other.

After a few minutes with no response, Fang Bai directly opened the door with the key.

There was indeed no one in the house, nor were there any zombies. Judging from the situation, it seemed to be a house where three people lived, most likely the old man and his son and daughter-in-law.

Fang Bai searched around and found nothing useful except for food.

And after calculating, Fang Bai found that the food was enough for him to eat for more than half a month.

However, Fang Bai didn’t move these things back home. Instead, he left them where they were and started filling various containers with tap water. After filling them, he directly closed the door, locked it, and left.

“I remember there seemed to be a family that turned into zombies downstairs.”

Fang Bai recalled as he walked down. He had heard a scream from downstairs when the zombies were knocking on the door before, but at that time, Fang Bai’s attention was all on the door and he didn’t pay much attention.

“It should be around the fifth or sixth floor.”

Fang Bai pulled hard on the doors on each floor to make sure they were closed and that no zombies would suddenly run out.

Only after confirming each household would Fang Bai continue downstairs. During this process, there were occasional zombie roars and banging sounds from the rooms, obviously because they heard the noise Fang Bai was making outside.

But Fang Bai didn’t care anymore, treating it as background music.

After all, with the security doors in place, he couldn’t get in, and the zombies couldn’t get out either.

Amidst the surround sound of zombie roars, Fang Bai reached the seventh floor. At this point, his nerves tensed up.

Because he heard the sound of tearing and chewing.

Zombies!

Fang Bai became nervous, holding his breath and lowering his footsteps, moving down bit by bit. However, after only a few steps, a roar came.

“Roar!”

Then came the sound of messy footsteps. Fang Bai understood that he had been discovered.

In just two or three seconds, the zombie appeared in Fang Bai’s field of vision.

Looking at the zombie coming upstairs, Fang Bai took a step forward on his own initiative, blocking the zombie’s hands with the round shield in his left hand, and swung the claw hammer in his right hand directly at the zombie’s temple.

Crack!

With a sound like a watermelon shattering, Fang Bai slammed the hammer down again, then took two steps back. The zombie fell directly to the ground, and a white light entered Fang Bai’s body.

“Phew, it’s easier than I imagined.”

Fang Bai found that as long as he overcame his fear, he could completely maintain basic calmness in battle.

And when a normal person calmed down, zombies were no match at all. However

Fang Bai looked at the sleeve of his left arm. There were a few more scratches on it, revealing the cotton inside.

These were scratched by the zombie’s hands.

Fortunately, with the thick military coat and the paper armor inside, Fang Bai himself was not injured.

Fang Bai looked down at the zombie at his feet, a shriveled and ferocious zombie, but its muscles seemed to be a little fuller than the previous one.

“Is this her?”

Fang Bai was quite surprised. He knew this zombie, they lived in the same building and had met quite a few times. Of course, it was mainly because this person was the most beautiful one Fang Bai had seen in the entire residential area, so naturally he had looked at her a few more times and had a deeper impression.

Well, now she was dead, and she died so ugly.

Fang Bai shook his head, smashed the zombie’s head open, and didn’t find anything like a crystal core inside. However, he found a copper coin on the ground beside it. The surface of the copper coin was covered with a faint white light, floating above the ground.

“Did it drop money?”

Fang Bai picked it up and took a look. Sure enough, an attribute panel appeared.

“Copper Coin: A copper coin that can be used for transactions.”

“It’s really like a game, even copper coins have appeared.”

Fang Bai put the copper coin into his pocket and quickly went upstairs to go home.

He had killed another zombie and got experience points. He needed to find a safe place to check the changes after leveling up.

After returning home and locking the door, Fang Bai directly opened the attribute panel. Compared to before, his attribute panel had undergone considerable changes.

“Level: 1.”

“Strength: 6.”

“Constitution: 5.”

“Agility: 4.”

“Mental Power: 8.”

“Free Attribute Points: 1.”

Looking at the level and free attribute points, Fang Bai resisted his excitement, thought for a moment, and then added the free attribute point to Mental Power.

Since he had decided to change his profession to Mage, Fang Bai would focus on increasing his Mental Power attribute, at least until it reached the standard for changing professions.

As for other attributes, he would decide based on the situation.

For now, changing professions to Mage was the top priority, and his current attribute values were enough to kill zombies for the time being.

After adding the point, the moment his Mental Power attribute value became 9, a burst of coolness surged in his head. For a moment, Fang Bai felt that his brain’s agility and mental calculation ability seemed to have increased to varying degrees.

His wisdom might not have increased, but he seemed to have become smarter overall. This feeling was very obvious.

And this made Fang Bai’s heart surge with excitement.

Leveling up could indeed grant free attribute points, and free attribute points could be used to freely increase any attribute of the body!

“This feeling of attribute improvement is so comfortable.”

After experiencing it for a while, Fang Bai picked up the iron hammer and round shield again and walked out the door, heading downstairs.

Hunting zombies, the sooner the better.

Fang Bai strongly suspected that zombies would become stronger with the passage of time or the amount of flesh and blood they devoured.
