I Build a Floating City in the Apocalypse – Chapter 36

Chapter 36

The company was burned down?!

Qin Jian, who suddenly discovered this fact, didn’t react for a moment. The first thought that subconsciously popped into his mind was bad luck, everything was going wrong.

How could it be so unlucky?

It’s fine that killing Fang Bai wasn’t going smoothly, but how could his own home catch fire?

Did he forget to unplug the outlet or turn off the gas when he left?

But there’s no electricity or gas now.

And just at this moment, someone suddenly pointed to the wall ahead and said,

“There’s a piece of paper stuck over there.”

Hearing this, everyone ran over to take a look, but one glance plunged them into a deathly silence.

Seeing this, Qin Jian squeezed his way over to look. He saw a line of words written on the paper.

“Qin Jian, ha, I set your house on fire, are you happy? Not happy?

Anyway, I’m quite happy. I’ll be generous and not pursue the matter of you going to my house, ha, I forgive you!”

Below the white paper was a signature, the signature was Fang Bai, and there was an emoji drawn after Fang Bai’s name.

（^_^）

When Qin Jian saw the last emoji, his face flushed red and then turned pale. He grabbed the paper tightly, his grip getting tighter and tighter. Finally, his vision went black, his body swayed, and he almost fell to the ground.

“Young Boss Qin, Young Boss Qin.”

“Take a deep breath, Young Boss Qin, quick, take a deep breath, don’t worry, calm down, it’s just a house that was burned down, right?

Don’t worry.”

Qin Jian, who had just recovered a little, felt his vision darken again at these words and almost fainted. It took him a while to recover.

“Search, search him out for me, I want to kill him!”

Qin Jian said through gritted teeth. Anyone could hear the extreme hatred in his tone.

Hearing this, everyone hesitated. They looked at each other, but no one moved. Just as Qin Jian wanted to say something more, Old CEO Qin, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke.

“How long do you want to keep making a fuss?”

Qin Jian turned his head to look at Old CEO Qin.

“Dad?! This Fang Bai, he’s gone too far, he…”

“You’re not going too far by going to his house to kill him?”

Old CEO Qin directly interrupted Qin Jian’s words.

“Your subordinates wanting to kill him and rob his equipment is not going too far?!”

“That’s not…”

“Shut up!”

Old CEO Qin shouted sternly.

“What your subordinates do is none of your business? Isn’t it a problem with your management?

Isn’t it because you’re not good at judging character?”

“I…”

“You, you, you, what else do you want to do?”

“You made a mistake, fine, you want to kill someone, I’ll accompany you with all our forces.

As long as you can solve the problem, everything is fine. But what problem have you solved?

From beginning to end, you’ve been played around by him. You failed to ambush him, and he set your house on fire.

And what’s the result?

The result is that you’ve offended an archer with extremely high shooting accuracy and extremely strong physical attributes, and this archer also has a very strong sense of revenge.

Instead of running away immediately when faced with our pursuit, he came back and set our house on fire.

And this archer also possesses the zombie virus, a highly potent poison.

Do you know what this means?”

“This means that as long as he comes to our company and shoots an arrow every day, our company will be doomed.

Our company will instantly fall apart. This is the consequence of your poor judgment of character and incompetence in using people.

How dare you?”

Old CEO Qin shouted coldly.

“I…”

“You, you, fine, tell me, what do you plan to do next?”

Old CEO Qin stared at Qin Jian with his tiger-like eyes, putting immense pressure on him.

“Conduct a large-scale search. Based on the traces of the archer killing zombies with arrows, use hunting dogs and our numerical advantage to surround Fang Bai.

Kill him at all costs, eliminate the threat.”

Old CEO Qin couldn’t help but fall silent at these words. At this moment, he couldn’t help but wonder.

Is this really his son?

Old CEO Qin took a deep breath. Even with his composure, he couldn’t help but feel frustrated at this moment.

“Sigh, you are my son, you are my son…”

Old CEO Qin shook his head disappointedly.

“Alright, let’s make a bet. If Fang Bai is still near our company, I’ll take your surname, deal?”

“What kind of brain would stay near our company after setting it on fire, waiting for us to surround and kill him at all costs?

What kind of brain would think that Fang Bai would do such a thing?

What kind of brain would completely offend an archer of this level at this time?

I…”

“Eliminate the threat, eliminate the threat, why didn’t I strangle you at birth?

I feel like you are the biggest threat to my life.

If I die, ninety-nine percent of the reason would be you.”

Old CEO Qin’s head was buzzing.

“I started from scratch for over twenty years, haven’t you learned anything at all?

I’ve offended so many people in business, and had conflicts with so many people, should I kill them all? Eliminate them all? Do you think we’re gangsters? Only know how to kill, kill, kill, even gangsters wouldn’t dare to act like this.

Should we eliminate all the threats in the world? I tell you, if you hold onto this kind of thought…

You won’t last two days before being eliminated by others. What’s the point of being invincible?

Kill all your enemies? Or surpass everyone in the world in strength?”

Old CEO Qin sighed and said slowly.

“The true meaning of being invincible lies in having no enemies. As long as the benefits are sufficient, enemies can become friends.

Reduce the number of enemies, increase the number of friends, then naturally you’ll be invincible. Do you think that just because the apocalypse has arrived, you can act recklessly?”

“Do you think the rules of society have changed? No, these rules have never changed.”

“Forget it, you go to the Operations Department and be the Deputy Minister from now on. Don’t participate in specific decision-making anymore.”

Old CEO Qin shook his head disappointedly.

“Do we have any life-or-death conflict of interest with Fang Bai? Do we have any life-or-death hatred with him?

Did we kill Fang Bai’s father, or do we have an unavoidable, absolute conflict with him?

No, it’s just that Fang Bai killed two of our people, and we went to his house to chase and kill him once.

And this time, it ended with him setting our house on fire.

What kind of grudge is this?”

Old CEO Qin said disdainfully.

“Someone, find a way to print three thousand flyers and post them all over the streets and alleys near our company.

The general meaning is to apologize to Fang Bai and offer a full set of white equipment, along with a green weapon as a gift.

Apologize, and let this matter end here. These equipment…”

Old CEO Qin looked Qin Jian up and down.

“If Fang Bai comes, give him the set of weapons and equipment you’re wearing.”

Old CEO Qin said calmly, his voice not loud, but it made Qin Jian dare not refuse.

Then, Old CEO Qin glanced at the Weiye Company headquarters that was still burning fiercely. There was no expression on his face. He casually pointed to a taller and better building next door and said,

“As for the burned headquarters, it doesn’t matter. From now on, this building is our headquarters.”

“CEO Qin, there are people inside, there are…”

“I said, from now on, this is our company headquarters!”

The person froze for a moment, then nodded.

“Yes, CEO Qin!”

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people rushed towards the building next door, without the hesitation, stalling, and resistance of Qin Jian’s subordinates.

Seeing this, Old CEO Qin also strode forward, while the Weiye Company building next to him continued to burn fiercely.

But obviously, it didn’t matter anymore.

And on the other side of the city, Fang Bai shot and killed a large zombie with an arrow. The experience points flowed into his body, and the experience bar filled up instantly. With a comfortable feeling, Fang Bai leveled up to level seven.

“Hmm, level seven, feels good.”

Fang Bai opened his attribute panel in a pleasant mood.
