I Build a Floating City in the Apocalypse – Chapter 69

Chapter 69

“Hiss! So big!”

When the group stood next to the Spider-man, they couldn’t help but let out exclamations again. The Spider-man’s massive body gave them a great sense of oppression, and the狰狞 （zhēngníng） piercing wounds on its body were even more shocking.

Almost the size of a basketball, what kind of weapon could create such a wound?

A cannon?!

Fang Bai heard their exclamations and smiled.

“These carapaces, these spider legs can all be collected. Be careful not to get scratched by the barbs on them. I’m afraid there might be a virus.

As for the other parts of the body, forget it. It’s not convenient without a crane.”

Fang Bai stood guard while Wang Xiong and the others started cleaning up. It didn’t take long for all the carapaces to be collected.

Under Fang Bai’s direction, the ten of them found a pile of dry wood, piled it around the Spider-man’s corpse, and lit it.

Although he didn’t know if zombies would eat the Spider-man’s corpse or evolve because of it, burning it wouldn’t be a problem.

Immediately, Fang Bai led the ten people out of the city and back to the truck, heading directly to the next location.

Clearing one location after another, Fang Bai would kill the monster and then call Wang Xiong and the others to clean up the battlefield. Wang Xiong and the others gradually went from shock to numbness, only shouting constantly.

Fang Bai is awesome! Boss is awesome!

After witnessing Fang Bai’s strength and discovering that he was approachable and wouldn’t send them to their deaths, they instantly felt that Fang Bai was amiable.

God of Slaughter?

Which bastard said that? Slap that son of a bitch!

This is a great god, a guardian deity!

Now, even if you tried to drive them away, they wouldn’t leave.

One, two, three, four…

With the truck for transportation, Fang Bai’s monster hunting speed increased significantly. Everything went smoothly, but when they reached the fifth location, an accident occurred…

Seeing the fragments of the dried flesh cocoon in the school dormitory, Fang Bai’s face changed slightly.

“It broke out of the cocoon?”

Fang Bai immediately withdrew from the dormitory and took out the walkie-talkie, suppressing his voice and saying,

“Wang Xiong, retreat!”

“Boss, what about you?”

“Retreat, don’t worry about me.”

“Yes!”

Upon receiving the message, Wang Xiong didn’t hesitate and immediately turned the truck around, heading towards Shen Shan Town.

Fang Bai rushed directly to a supermarket he had passed by earlier and entered. There was flour inside.

Fang Bai wasn’t surprised by this. He had already scouted this supermarket when he saw it.

He directly found a room and set it up. However, there wasn’t much flour here, just enough for a basic setup. After the setup was complete, he started the countdown to return to the village.

The cooldown for the Return to City skill had already finished an hour ago.

As the seconds counted down, the scene of the Novice Village once again appeared before Fang Bai’s eyes. Fang Bai teleported into a tent.

“Boss?!”

Bai Qing was slightly stunned to see Fang Bai emerge from a tent.

“Boss, when did you come back? Why didn’t I see you?”

“Just got back.”

Fang Bai smiled.

“By the way, Wang Xiong and the others are following in the truck. I came back first. Remember to coordinate with them later.

There’s a batch of materials from the monsters that are quite good, light and hard. See if they can be transformed into armor, protective gear, or weapons.”

After speaking, Fang Bai looked around and asked,

“Where’s my place to stay?”

“Okay, I understand.”

Bai Qing nodded and then pointed ahead.

“Over there.”

Bai Qing led Fang Bai to the entrance of a container house located near the center of the village.

“I found a large construction site and brought back a batch of container houses. We’re all temporarily sleeping in these container houses.

The concrete houses are still being planned. I plan to rush the construction of the city walls first.”

“Alright, prioritize survival. Comfort and such can be put aside for now.”

“Mm, okay.”

Bai Qing left, and Fang Bai glanced at the sky.

After two outings, the sky had gradually darkened. Even if he hadn’t encountered the situation with the cocoon breaking out, Fang Bai would have almost returned to rest.

Fang Bai wasn’t arrogant enough to go out hunting monsters at night.

And since he was already back, he didn’t bother going out again.

Entering the room and putting down his things, Fang Bai took out his biggest harvest from this trip.

Six Crystal Cores!

Fang Bai took a deep breath, sensing the continuous influx of elemental power, and a smile appeared on his face.

During this time, Fang Bai had gained a deeper understanding of Crystal Cores.

These Crystal Cores would constantly attract elemental power. If there was space inside the Crystal Core, the elemental power would be absorbed into it. If the inside was already full, the elemental power would surround the Crystal Core until the constraint of the Crystal Core’s attractive force reached its limit.

However, when Fang Bai sensed the speed at which the manuscript absorbed elemental power, he frowned slightly.

“It has indeed sped up quite a bit, but even at this rate, it will probably take several more days to see the next page.”

Several days…

Fang Bai couldn’t help but turn his gaze to the six Crystal Cores. Among the six Crystal Cores, one was empty, the Earth elemental power inside having been consumed by the arm shield.

And this Crystal Core was still intact, currently absorbing elemental power to recover.

“Forget it, I won’t wait. I’ll directly extract the elemental power and infuse it into the manuscript, then let the Crystal Core slowly absorb it.”

Fang Bai didn’t plan to wait any longer.

It had only been a mere six days since the apocalypse began. So many things had already happened in just six days, who knew what kind of trouble would occur if he waited a few more days.

Seeing the content of the next page earlier would allow him to learn earlier, become stronger earlier, and establish an advantage sooner.

Fang Bai immediately guided the manuscript out of his mind, making it appear in his hand. At the same time, he took a Crystal Core and with a thought, all the elemental power within the Crystal Core flowed towards the manuscript, being absorbed the moment it touched the manuscript.

“A little more than I imagined.”

Fang Bai sensed the progress of the manuscript and a hint of joy appeared on his face.

“Four should be enough!”

Fang Bai immediately took three more Crystal Cores and infused all the elemental power within them into the manuscript at once.

As expected!

Fang Bai’s calculations were correct. Four Crystal Cores were enough, even slightly exceeding the requirement.

Fang Bai held his breath, took a deep breath, and looked seriously at the second page of the manuscript…

The text and numbers on the second page rapidly twisted and changed. In the blink of an eye, the changes stopped, and the text on it transformed into a form that Fang Bai could understand.

However, it seemed that not only the second page but also the third and fourth pages were visible.

At this moment, Fang Bai sensed a piece of information from the manuscript.

It seemed that what restricted the materialization of the notebook’s contents wasn’t the number of pages, but the amount of information contained.

“Different amounts of energy are required because of the different information content?”

Fang Bai wondered, but then shook his head. This wasn’t a bad thing for him. At least, as long as he expended energy, he would definitely obtain a corresponding amount of information in return.

Putting aside this thought, he focused his attention on the content.

The beginning of the second page unexpectedly contained information related to Spell Scrolls.
