I Build a Floating City in the Apocalypse – Chapter 50

Chapter 50

“Fang Bai, you… are using this to hold the equipment?”

Bai Qing pointed at the snake skin bag and asked.

“Yeah, snake skin bags are easy to pack.”

Hearing Fang Bai’s words, Bai Qing couldn’t help but roll his eyes.

Seeing this, Fang Bai smiled.

“Use whatever is convenient for packing. If I don’t use a snake skin bag, should I carry it on my head?”

“Then Fang Bai, you took out all this equipment because you plan to…”

Bai Qing looked at Fang Bai, his heart slightly stirred.

“I can’t use them, so I plan to sell them. Do you want them?”

Bai Qing’s eyes immediately lit up when he heard this. He nodded and said decisively,

“I want them. But what’s the price, and how will we trade?”

“Copper coins.”

Fang Bai finished speaking, and Bai Qing was stunned.

“Fang Bai, have you found a use for copper coins?”

“Not yet, but I might know where they can be used.

It should be very soon.”

After Fang Bai finished speaking, Bai Qing nodded and consciously didn’t ask any further questions. Fang Bai then pointed at the equipment and said,

“Currently, no one has used copper coins, and no one knows their value. I plan to determine the value based on the drop rate.

I roughly calculated it. For white equipment, I won’t differentiate between one or two attribute points. The price is ten copper coins per attribute point.

As for this green equipment, it’s twenty copper coins per attribute point. This should be about right.

There are a total of eighteen pieces of white equipment, a total of 230 attribute points. One piece of green equipment, 100 attribute points.

A total of 330 copper coins. How about it, can you afford it?”

Bai Qing’s face immediately fell when he heard this.

“Fang Bai, that’s so expensive! How about this…”

Bai Qing laughed and then said seriously,

“You are so strong, but you’re an archer. We are a bit weaker, but we can clear paths, guard, and kill small fries.

How about we just follow you? You tell us to chase chickens, and we definitely won’t chase dogs.

You tell us to go north, we absolutely won’t go east.”

“Oh, I thought you wanted a discount, but I didn’t expect you to want it for free. No way, no way. Small business, cash on delivery.

But considering our friendship, I’ll round it down for you.”

Bai Qing’s eyes widened when he heard this, and then he said with a smile,

“Just kidding, hehe. Round it down? 33?”

“Well said, don’t say it again.”

Fang Bai curled his lips.

“Don’t bargain anymore, just 300!”

“This…”

Bai Qing hesitated for a long time when he heard this.

“Alright, sigh, you’ve completely emptied my pockets.”

Although Bai Qing said this, he still readily paid 300 copper coins to Fang Bai. After paying, Bai Qing distributed the equipment one by one.

With the addition of more than a dozen pieces of equipment, the strength of their small group had also been significantly enhanced.

After assigning the equipment, Bai Qing turned to look at Fang Bai again, only to find that Fang Bai was already preparing to leave.

“Huh? Fang Bai, you are…”

“Oh, I plan to leave the city.”

Fang Bai thought for a moment and said directly to Bai Qing,

“You’ve also seen the evolution speed of the zombies. Today, a large number of survivors died in the city. Ordinary zombies have basically all turned into Strong Zombies. And just like that Mutated Large Zombie just now,

higher-level zombies have started to appear, and these zombies will actively search for survivors…”

“I think I’d better leave the city, find a place to settle down outside the city, then enter the city to hunt zombies, and rest outside the city.”

Fang Bai paused for a moment and continued,

“To be honest, the strength of your small group… isn’t very strong.

You might be able to withstand the zombie attacks for a day or two, but it’s hard to say in the long run.

So I suggest you leave the city as soon as possible.”

Bai Qing’s expression turned serious when he heard this.

He had felt something was wrong before, but he had only been inside the residential area, so it wasn’t as obvious as Fang Bai’s feeling.

Now that Fang Bai had said this, his expression changed slightly.

At this moment, Fang Bai suddenly remembered something and asked,

“By the way, did you take all the arrows from the archery club?

Look, you won’t be able to use so many arrows in a short time. For twenty copper coins, I’ll buy 200.”

Bai Qing immediately turned his head and shouted at someone,

“Old Wang, go get 300 carbon arrows and pack them up.”

After Bai Qing finished speaking, he said to Fang Bai,

“Fang Bai, don’t make fun of me. Buy them?

You saved my life. It’s just a few arrows. Wouldn’t it be slapping me in the face if you paid?

If you need them, just take them.”

Fang Bai hesitated for a moment, but nodded.

“Then thank you very much.”

Soon, a man came over carrying a bundle of arrows. The arrows were all thoughtfully tied together with rope, making it easy to carry them on his shoulder by holding the rope.

Fang Bai took the arrows and was about to leave. Bai Qing opened his mouth to say something, then closed it again without saying anything.

After Fang Bai left, someone next to Bai Qing asked,

“Are we leaving?”

“Yes.”

“Then why not leave with Fang Bai? That way we can look out for each other, right?”

Bai Qing glanced at him and asked back,

“Look out for each other?”

Bai Qing didn’t say anything more and turned to leave. After instructing everyone to start packing, he took out a paper map and, based on his memory, searched for the least populated route out of the city.

Fang Bai tied the bundle of arrows to his back and ran quickly down the street. The zombies near Xinghe Garden had all been attracted into Xinghe Garden, and the streets seemed empty.

However, as he moved further away from Xinghe Garden, the zombies gradually became denser. Groups of zombies wandered between buildings and shops. Once they caught any scent belonging to a living creature, they would swarm towards it like sharks smelling blood.

Fang Bai could occasionally hear screams coming from the buildings.

Every scream made Fang Bai’s heart tremble slightly, but he didn’t go to rescue them.

Because often, screams meant that there was no possibility of rescue.

“Help! Save me! Big brother, save me!”

Suddenly, a shout came from a resident on the third floor of a building by the road. Fang Bai followed the sound and saw a young man quickly climb out of the window and hide on the exterior wall of the third floor.

At this moment, a large zombie inside the room broke free from the wire mesh and lunged towards the wall.

Whoosh!

Fang Bai instantly drew his bow and nocked an arrow. The arrow shot through the air, crossing a hundred meters before piercing the large zombie’s eye socket!

Bang!

The large zombie fell to the ground. The young man named Luo Qing looked at the still trembling arrow tail, then at Fang Bai, who only had his back to him.

On the corpse of the large zombie, a green light cluster enveloped a wooden knife, slowly rising and falling.

Fang Bai moved forward quickly, his eyes radiating a sharp gaze like a hawk. His compound bow would occasionally shoot out an arrow, accurately piercing the eye sockets of zombies, saving one person after another.

The location of Xinghe Garden residential area was relatively close to the suburbs. At Fang Bai’s current running speed, it would probably take about half an hour to leave the city and completely escape the zombies’ area of influence.

After running for about ten minutes, Fang Bai suddenly paused and turned his head to look at a side street. There were noisy sounds coming from there.

And Fang Bai unexpectedly saw a familiar face.

“It’s him?”
