I Build a Floating City in the Apocalypse – Chapter 68

Chapter 68

“Boom!”

In the storage room, the black shadow from just now directly broke through the wooden door and rushed in. A pair of bladed arms instantly slashed down, several sharp edges swept across the storage room, shredding everything inside.

However, the storage room was empty, only Fang Bai’s strong scent remained.

Sweet with a hint of stench, oh no, stench with a hint of sweetness.

Before the monster could react, the explosion of flames had already engulfed it, followed by a detonation.

Boom!

The completely sealed storage room had only the door as an exit. The monster standing at the door instantly bore the full brunt of the explosion after experiencing the initial blast.

All the impact force of the flames reverberated within the storage room before pouring out through the doorway.

At this moment, the storage room was like a cannon, and the monster standing at the door was equivalent to blocking the muzzle.

Boom!

The monster was as fragile as a lone canoe in the sea, instantly blasted dozens of meters away before crashing heavily against the wall.

Bang!

The monster struggled to get up, but halfway up, the shattered wooden door fragments, somehow ricocheted and landed on the monster. There was no force behind it, but the monster’s body trembled.

Crack!

The monster fell to the ground, unable to get up again, and a few black characters could still be vaguely seen on the wooden door fragments.

“.Bomb, do not enter.”

Flames surged, gradually engulfing the supermarket’s interior.

At this moment, Fang Bai was leading a group of people in a cargo truck, moving along the outskirts of Stone City towards the supermarket’s location.

They didn’t encounter any danger in the suburbs, everywhere was quiet. They only occasionally encountered survivors collecting supplies in nearby villages. When they saw Fang Bai and the others driving, they avoided them from afar, showing no intention of approaching.

The safest place in the apocalypse was beside your own kind, but the most dangerous place was also beside your own kind.

When it came to strangers, especially powerful strangers, survivors outside generally avoided them and wouldn’t approach easily.

Fang Bai and the others quickly reached the nearest suburb to the supermarket. Fang Bai didn’t approach the supermarket, but merely found a building that was close enough and tall enough.

Climbing all the way to the 20th floor, Fang Bai activated his Eagle Eye skill and looked towards the supermarket’s location.

In fact, Fang Bai could see the towering smoke plume without using Eagle Eye. Seeing this, a sense of relief arose in his heart.

“There really was a monster following me back then, otherwise it wouldn’t have been possible for a monster to get in so quickly.”

The dust that rises will eventually fall, and once the flour has completely settled, without mixing with the air, even if a lighter ignites it, it wouldn’t cause an explosion.

Since a dust explosion had occurred, it meant that the monster had already entered before the dust settled.

“Fortunately, I was decisive enough and left in time.”

Fang Bai let out a long sigh of relief.

“But then again, this dust explosion is quite fun, the materials are readily available, and the power is great.

From now on, wherever I go, I can set up one of these when I return to the city. If anything dares to follow me, whether it’s a person or a monster, I’ll send them all to the sky!

And it can also serve as a warning for me. When I see the explosion, I’ll know something is following me.”

Fang Bai glanced at the blazing supermarket again.

“That monster should be dead, right? After the fire dies down, I can go check if I can pick up some loot from its corpse.”

Going downstairs, Fang Bai returned to the truck located on the outskirts of the city.

“Wang Xiong, head towards No. 3 Primary School, don’t enter the city.”

“Okay.”

Fang Bai sat in the truck, one member of the squad driving the vehicle eastward, while Fang Bai entered a meditative state in the truck.

Seize every opportunity to meditate and strengthen Mental Power!

For Fang Bai, all evasion, all insecurity stemmed from insufficient strength.

If he was strong enough, he could just steamroll everything, why bother with all these fancy tricks?

The truck quickly reached its destination, Wang Xiong looked at Fang Bai.

“Boss?”

Fang Bai stopped meditating and opened his eyes.

“You can’t participate in my battles, the mortality rate is too high, there’s no need to go in.

So after I go in, you wait outside. If there’s no news, wait for about two hours and then go home.

If I call you, hurry in and collect the spoils, understand?”

“Understood.”

Wang Xiong nodded, Fang Bai waved the walkie-talkie in his hand as a signal, then entered the city under everyone’s gaze.

When leaving, Fang Bai noticed that several people were relieved when they heard they were only collecting spoils, they relaxed a lot.

Obviously, they initially thought they were here to help with the fighting.

And a monster that even a professional needed help to deal with, their mortality rate would definitely be very high.

But let alone refusing Fang Bai, they didn’t dare to show any unwillingness in front of this killing god, so they had been tense all the way.

Now, hearing that they only needed to clean up the battlefield, they immediately relaxed, and even developed a hint of goodwill towards Fang Bai because of his words.

Hey, Fang Bai is actually not bad.

Fang Bai entered Stone City and found the flesh cocoon in a pond within the primary school. After some effort, he killed the monster inside.

It was unexpectedly another Spider-man, although female, its skills were exactly the same as the previous Spider-man. When Fang Bai discovered this, his face lit up with a smile. As soon as he killed it, he hurried over to probe the energy model.

Sure enough, the energy model highly overlapped with the previous Spider-man’s energy model. The differences in some areas were minor, likely individual variations within the same evolutionary path.

This time, the completeness of the recorded energy model directly reached 70%.

However, to Fang Bai’s disappointment, this time there weren’t any relatively complete energy structures preserved, only the carapace and front spider legs with stable elemental power and residual elemental nodes were harvested.

But the dropped equipment was interesting.

“Equipment: Excellent Spider Light Armor （Green）.”

“Effect: +4 Strength, +3 Agility, +2 Constitution.”

“Equipment Requirement: Level 10.”

“Click to equip.”

“It actually added a total of nine attribute points across three categories.”

Fang Bai was slightly surprised, he previously thought that green equipment could only add two types of attribute points.

“This piece of equipment is a bit top-tier, adding a total of nine points.”

Fang Bai replaced the Rock Armor, and as soon as he put on the Spider Light Armor, he felt much lighter. Coupled with the additional attribute points, Fang Bai was very satisfied with this piece of equipment.

After taking out the crystal core from the Spider-man’s head, Fang Bai picked up the walkie-talkie.

“Hello, come and clean up, can you hear me?”

“Roger, roger.”

Wang Xiong, who was bragging with his teammates, quickly responded when he heard the walkie-talkie. After answering, he picked up his equipment and rushed towards the school, talking as he went.

“Hey, what kind of monster do you think the boss killed that he specifically wanted ten people to clean up after?”

“The boss is a job-changer, no, I should say he’s very strong even among job-changers. The ones he actively hunts must be high-level monsters, probably large in size.

Otherwise, there would be no need for us to clean up.”

“That’s right, there’s no need to be surprised if the monster is large later, it would be embarrassing.”

“Exactly.”

As they talked, they reached the school and saw Fang Bai. When they saw the corpse beside Fang Bai, they were stunned, subconsciously rubbing their eyes. After confirming several times that they weren’t mistaken…

“Hiss!”

Wang Xiong couldn’t help but chuckle when he heard this.

“Making a fuss, so uncultured, didn’t you just say not to embarrass yourselves…”

At this moment, Wang Xiong also saw the corpse, his eyes widening.

“Hiss!”
