I Build a Floating City in the Apocalypse – Chapter 51

Chapter 51

“Tianwang Armor?”

Fang Bai looked at a group of people on the adjacent street. At the forefront was Wang Kai, clad in Tianwang Armor, whom Fang Bai had encountered once before.

Over there, Wang Kai was leading a group in a battle against zombies.

Wang Kai’s group consisted of roughly one hundred to nearly two hundred people, their formation similar to Bai Qing’s.

The combatants formed a wedge formation, protecting the non-combatants in the center. Wang Kai, positioned at the tip of the wedge, wielded dual hammers, truly resembling a descending Heavenly King, unstoppable amidst the zombie horde.

Under Wang Kai’s lead, the entire group defended themselves while resisting the zombies, pushing forward.

From time to time, Wang Kai would leave the group and venture into the zombie horde alone to eliminate the more threatening large zombies.

“His strength is not bad, but being with so many people attracts too much attention, slows them down, and makes them prone to attracting stronger zombies or being surrounded by the horde.”

Fang Bai observed Wang Kai’s group. Judging by their direction, they were likely trying to break out of the city, just like Fang Bai.

Fang Bai pondered for a moment, then changed his direction, approaching Wang Kai and his group from a distance of about one hundred meters from the zombie horde.

Fang Bai activated Eagle Eye, scanning left and right, quickly locking onto the large zombies within the horde.

“A total of six?”

Fang Bai drew an arrow and pulled back his compound bow.

Whoosh!

A large zombie collapsed within the horde.

Whoosh!

Another large zombie fell.

Hearing the whistling sound of the arrows, Wang Kai turned his head and, upon spotting Fang Bai, nodded in acknowledgement. He then returned to his group, continuing to lead the charge against the ordinary zombies.

Fang Bai circled the zombie horde, eliminating all the large zombies before turning and leaving, returning to his own route to continue his escape from the city.

Moments later, Wang Kai’s group cleared out all the ordinary zombies. The group looked at the large zombies that had been shot by arrows and then turned to Wang Kai.

“Brother Wang, who was that just now? So impressive!”

Wang Kai searched around but couldn’t find Fang Bai. Realizing that Fang Bai had already left, he immediately said,

“Fang Bai, a friend.”

After speaking, Wang Kai called out to the group,

“Let’s go, pick up the pace.”

“Yes!”

“Has Wang Kai also formed a small team?”

Fang Bai muttered as he ran, then shook his head, continuing to sprint towards the outskirts of the city.

The further he went, the sparser the population became, the lower the probability of encountering powerful zombies, and the safer the area. With Fang Bai’s strength, naturally, no accidents occurred.

Throughout the entire journey, Fang Bai never took out his wooden bow and arrows. A single compound bow was sufficient to handle the situation.

However, as Fang Bai passed through an area where the city met the countryside, he suddenly noticed a flash of white in a house by the roadside. Turning his head, he saw a large white-furred dog, as tall as Fang Bai himself, slaughtering a group of zombies.

The zombies, in turn, were frantically attacking the dog as if it were a human.

“So zombies don’t specifically target humans, but all living beings.”

Fang Bai suddenly realized.

“That explains why I haven’t seen any cats or dogs in the city. I’m afraid they’ve all been eaten by zombies.”

While Fang Bai was observing, the white-furred dog had already killed all the dozen or so zombies, demonstrating considerable strength.

The white-furred dog glanced back at Fang Bai, then disappeared among the houses.

Seeing this, Fang Bai continued running forward, but a question began to linger in his mind.

“Humans rely on the game system and attribute panels to kill monsters and level up, allowing for rapid growth.

Zombies rely on eating humans to achieve rapid growth. What about this dog?

It doesn’t seem to eat zombies after killing them, so how does it become stronger?

Does it also gain experience points?”

Fang Bai pondered for a long time but ultimately put the matter aside for now, continuing to sprint forward.

Finally, when Fang Bai saw vast stretches of rice fields, he knew that he had finally escaped Stone City.

He stopped running. There were no mindless zombies pursuing or besieging him. The air was free of the stench of zombies. Fang Bai took a deep breath of fresh air.

At this moment, Fang Bai felt refreshed and relaxed.

“Ah, that’s nice.”

Fang Bai started running again, this time not to escape, but to find a place to settle down. He planned to settle in this area and establish a Novice Village.

However, the location for the Novice Village needed careful consideration.

Fang Bai didn’t know if the Novice Village could be moved after construction, but he felt it was best to assume it couldn’t.

“The location of the Novice Village should ideally be close to a water source, close to farmland, and capable of withstanding zombie hordes.”

Fang Bai strongly suspected that once a large number of people gathered near the Novice Village, and once the people in Stone City were all dead, the zombies would start to spread outwards, searching for human traces.

At that time, the battle against zombies would inevitably continue.

And that time might not be too far off.

“Actually, the issue of defending against zombies can be solved by constructing engineering bunkers.

Concrete buildings can still effectively resist zombies.

So for now, let’s just consider water sources and farmland.”

After pondering for a moment, Fang Bai arrived at a riverbank.

The river was over twenty meters wide, and there were large stretches of flat farmland along its banks.

Fang Bai followed the river’s flow and saw it leading into a small town.

“I remember this town being called Shen Shan Town.”

Fang Bai pondered for a moment, recalling.

“There were probably only ten or twenty thousand people in the town, and most of them went out to work.

Ten thousand people…”

Fang Bai contemplated for a long time before arriving at the point where the river flowed into Shen Shan Town. There was a wasteland here.

The wasteland was next to the river. A few hundred meters inward was Shen Shan Town, and one or two hundred meters outward was farmland.

“This is about right.”

Fang Bai took out the Novice Village Token and clicked to use it. A phantom image then appeared before him.

The phantom wasn’t large, only about one hundred square meters. Fang Bai clicked to build it in the center of the wasteland.

The phantom materialized, and the Novice Village appeared before Fang Bai. However, Fang Bai fell silent as he looked at it.

“This is the Novice Village?! Can this even be called a village?”

What appeared before Fang Bai was nothing more than an empty space with three sculptures on it.

They were a warrior in armor wielding a sword, a warrior in armor wielding a shield, and an archer in armor wielding a bow.

Upon closer inspection, the attribute panels of the three structures appeared one after another.
