I Build a Floating City in the Apocalypse – Chapter 40

Chapter 40

“Roar!”

Fang Bai glanced backward. A large zombie with arms and thighs of equal length and thickness was charging towards him on all fours at an extremely fast speed, even faster than Fang Bai himself. The distance between them was rapidly closing.

“This zombie was either already a large zombie yesterday, or it ate a lot of people after becoming a large zombie.

Go to hell!”

The moment this large zombie entered Fang Bai’s Mental Power perception range, Fang Bai leaped around, facing the large zombie. The arrow in his hand pierced through the air, instantly shooting into the zombie’s eye socket.

Fang Bai turned and landed, the entire process taking less than half a second.

Moreover, after landing, Fang Bai continued to run forward as usual, his speed not slowing down in the slightest.

Fang Bai was truly familiar with this action to the core.

He didn’t bother with the other large zombies.

Those that couldn’t catch up would only make Fang Bai run faster. There was no need to pay attention to them.

Fang Bai moved forward quickly. The zombies behind him gathered more and more. After two or three minutes, the number of large zombies behind Fang Bai had exceeded ten, and the ordinary zombies were countless.

Fang Bai encountered a second large zombie that surpassed his speed. He had to turn around and shoot it again when it caught up to him.

Fang Bai himself was reluctant to do this.

Because this way, the arrows shot out could not be recovered. One arrow only killed one large zombie. This was a huge loss for Fang Bai, who lacked arrows.

Fortunately, Fang Bai soon saw the shadow of Automobile City. Upon seeing this, he immediately rushed into a shopping mall with its doors open.

After entering, he backhanded the glass door shut and picked up a nearby lock to hang on it.

At the same time, he took out the pepper spray and sprayed it fiercely behind him. After spraying, he immediately ran behind the shelves. During this time, he killed several ordinary zombies that emerged from the mall with his chopping knife.

A few seconds after Fang Bai disappeared behind the shelves, the mall’s main entrance was smashed open by the large zombies.

However, the moment they entered the mall, they suddenly stopped, looking around blankly.

But after only a moment of sluggishness, the terrifying number of zombies dispersed, surging into the mall like a tide, continuing to chase forward in a spread-out formation.

Fang Bai, who was continuously spraying pepper spray behind him, noticed a slight movement and looked down at the pepper spray.

“These zombies, like normal creatures, really track me by smell. Once the smell is confused or masked, they don’t know what to do.

Pepper spray, a divine artifact! It can even get rid of zombie tracking!”

Fang Bai was delighted. He immediately moved quickly through the mall while lowering his voice to avoid being targeted by the zombies again due to the sound.

There were very few zombies inside the mall, and the occasional ones were quickly dealt with by Fang Bai.

Soon, Fang Bai arrived at another exit. Looking at the empty street and surrounding shops, and hearing the screams coming from the residential area, Fang Bai immediately lowered his footsteps and quickly moved towards Automobile City, using vehicles, walls, and trees as cover.

Within a few minutes, Fang Bai saw Automobile City again, saw the car dealerships inside, and the vehicles parked in front of them.

Household cars were in one direction, and engineering vehicles were in another. Fang Bai not only saw excavators and loaders but also some cranes and aerial work platforms.

Fang Bai immediately moved quickly towards the engineering vehicles, never glancing at the luxury car area from beginning to end.

What luxury cars?

In the apocalypse, a tracked heavy excavator was the real supercar!

However, when he actually saw the excavator, Fang Bai suddenly realized a very fatal problem.

“Unlike tanks, it seems that the speed of tracked excavators is around 8 kilometers per hour.”

Fang Bai fell silent. The scene was awkward for a moment.

What did 8 kilometers per hour mean?

The speed of people walking is generally between 4 and 5 kilometers per hour. A slightly faster pace might reach 6 kilometers per hour.

And 8 kilometers per hour was equivalent to the speed of a normal person jogging.

“Pa!”

Fang Bai lightly slapped himself.

“I’m so stupid.”

Fang Bai shook his head and turned to look at a large engineering vehicle next to the excavator.

A bulldozer!

Not a tracked bulldozer, but a wheeled bulldozer. The tires were taller than Fang Bai by a head.

“If I remember correctly, the speed of a wheeled bulldozer should be around 40 kilometers per hour.

And tires over two meters tall should have decent passability.”

Fang Bai let out a long sigh of relief. Fortunately, there was a substitute. If there wasn’t, then Fang Bai would really have to look for a heavy truck tractor unit.

He turned and walked into the store, killing the three or two zombies inside. Fang Bai directly took all the keys from the zombies and then started searching inside the store.

With the help of his Mental Power, Fang Bai found the car keys and spare barrels of diesel.

He took the keys and opened the fuel tank of the largest bulldozer, using a simple tool to add diesel to it.

The bulldozer’s fuel tank should have a capacity of several hundred liters. After filling the tank with the diesel from the barrels, there was still some left. Fang Bai directly put the barrel on the vehicle, preparing to take it with him.

Sitting in the bulldozer, just as he was about to leave, Fang Bai looked at the keys in his hand, thought for a moment, and went back into the store again. He took out all the keys for the engineering vehicles and inserted them into the corresponding car doors.

“The fuel tanks of cars generally have enough fuel to drive to a gas station. If someone needs them, they can drive them away directly with the keys here.”

Fang Bai said softly. After doing this, he returned to the vehicle.

The control method of a wheeled bulldozer was no different from that of an ordinary vehicle. It was all controlled by the steering wheel, making it relatively convenient and easy to learn.

So, Fang Bai took a brief look at the manual and started the vehicle.

“Rumble, rumble, rumble!”

The unique roar of the engineering vehicle sounded. At this moment, Fang Bai couldn’t help but tense up.

“Hopefully, it won’t attract any overly strong zombies.”

Fang Bai silently prayed in his heart.

With the sound the bulldozer was making, it was bound to attract zombies, and even powerful ones.

Fang Bai had already realized this when he decided to drive home. There was a risk involved!

However, compared to running out of arrows, Fang Bai could accept encountering powerful zombies as long as he still had arrows.

It’s just…

“Really, don’t let any overly strong zombies come.”

Fang Bai took a deep breath. After getting slightly familiar with the vehicle, he drove onto the road and sped towards home at full speed.

And the moment Fang Bai hit the road, he and the bulldozer became the most eye-catching presence on the entire street.

All the zombies along the road and on both sides suddenly turned their heads to look, as if they were wondering which cool dude was so brave. And the next moment, all the zombies swarmed towards Fang Bai!

“Roar!”
