I Build a Floating City in the Apocalypse – Chapter 8

Chapter 8

“Bang!”

“Eleven!”

Fang Bai smashed a zombie with a hammer, picking up a copper coin while counting the number of zombies.

After pocketing the keys from the zombie, Fang Bai continued down the stairs. Just then, he paused.

“Someone’s coming?”

Fang Bai turned his head to look at the rising elevator, clearly also heading to the ninth floor.

Seeing this, Fang Bai pondered for a moment before quickly heading down.

It was better to secure the experience points from the zombies first. As for the rest, he would deal with it as it came.

Fang Bai quickly descended to the fourth floor and saw two zombies again.

One was normal, but the other was wearing thick winter clothes and pants, obviously someone who had gone out to kill zombies and then got infected.

It wasn’t that no one from this building had gone out to kill zombies. They had, but they had also turned into zombies.

Not only did they not harm other zombies, but they also provided Fang Bai with more experience points.

Fang Bai smiled, hearing the rapid footsteps coming down from upstairs. Without wasting any time, he sped up, taking the initiative to kill the first zombie with a hammer blow, then forcefully shoving the second zombie away.

At this moment, a man wearing a black helmet and wielding a steel hammer appeared at the top of the stairs.

Fang Bai glanced at him, then grabbed the pot lid shield and rammed the zombie again. At the cost of a scratch on his clothes, he smashed his claw hammer onto the zombie’s temple.

Crack!

The zombie died, and the experience points flowed into Fang Bai. Seeing this, the Iron Hammer Man nodded slightly at Fang Bai, preparing to go upstairs and leave without any intention of exchanging pleasantries.

If the zombie was still alive, he might have “saved” the person, but since the zombie was dead, there was no need to stay.

However, at this moment, a white light converged on the finger of the zombie wearing the thick cotton clothes.

Seeing this familiar scene, Fang Bai’s heart skipped a beat.

He didn’t know whether to call this good luck or bad luck.

The Iron Hammer Man was also attracted by this unusual sight. Under his gaze, a men’s ring slowly floated up from the zombie’s body, enveloped in a faint white light.

It dropped equipment.

Fang Bai looked at the Iron Hammer Man warily, then bent down to pick up the ring and a copper coin, his eyes never leaving the Iron Hammer Man throughout the process.

After putting away the copper coin, Fang Bai glanced at the ring.

“Equipment: Worn Ring.”

“Effect: Strength +1.”

“Click to equip.”

Fang Bai clicked to equip, and the ring appeared on his right hand. He immediately felt a surge of strength in his body.

Fang Bai’s original Strength attribute was six. An increase of one point was equivalent to an increase of one-seventh of the original value.

Moreover, according to Fang Bai’s estimation, seven Strength attribute points should be considered high among ordinary people.

“Hey, brother, was that equipment that dropped just now?”

The Iron Hammer Man asked curiously, walking down the stairs as he spoke.

“I’ve never seen equipment before. I mean no harm, I’m just curious. Can I take a look?

Don’t worry, just a glance. If you’re really worried, you can hold it in your hand and let me see.

Like this, I won’t look for free. I’ll pay, a thousand, well, money probably isn’t very useful right now, then I’ll give you a bag of rice.

I’ll just take a look, how about it?”

The Iron Hammer Man’s voice was young, probably around twenty years old. He had already walked down half of the stairs as he spoke.

Fang Bai narrowed his eyes and pointed his claw hammer at the Iron Hammer Man.

“If you want to see it, go fight for it yourself. Stop, don’t come any closer or don’t blame me for being impolite.”

“Hey, brother, don’t be so unfriendly. It’s nothing to take a look, it won’t cost you a piece of flesh.”

The Iron Hammer Man paused slightly, then continued forward. Under the helmet, Fang Bai’s eyes narrowed.

At this moment, Fang Bai sighed slightly in his heart.

So why didn’t he like dealing with people?

This was the reason.

And what should he do when he encountered this kind of situation?

Wang Shun, the Iron Hammer Man, looked at the man in front of him holding a pot lid in his left hand and a claw hammer in his right. He recalled the ring he had just seen, and a trace of greed and jealousy flashed in his eyes.

Equipment!

Equipment that directly added one point to Strength, equivalent to leveling up!

Wang Shun’s heart was moved, but he also hesitated. Looking at Fang Bai who had raised his claw hammer, at the scratches on Fang Bai’s clothes and the bloodstains on the claw hammer, he made a decision after a moment. He silently hung the steel hammer on his waist as a gesture of goodwill and showed his empty hands.

“Alright, alright, I won’t look if you don’t want me to. Stingy, it’s just a piece of equipment.”

Wang Shun said sourly.

“Go downstairs, I’ll go downstairs, okay? I’ll go downstairs and go home.”

Fang Bai narrowed his eyes and looked at him. Wang Shun muttered softly when he saw this.

“Stingy.”

Wang Shun walked to the fourth floor, then backed down to the third floor stairs, step by step, disappearing from Fang Bai’s sight.

Fang Bai breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. He had been hesitating just now. If the other party really made a move, what should he do?

The long-standing orderly environment still constrained both sides, constraining Fang Bai and still constraining the other party.

But Fang Bai also understood that this order probably wouldn’t last long.

Under the temptation of this ring just now, the other party’s heart had been moved. Fang Bai was certain that this Iron Hammer Man must have had some thoughts. He originally wanted to go upstairs and leave, but his later action of going downstairs fully illustrated this point.

“How long can this order last?”

“Is there really… no rescue?”

Fang Bai sighed, already having the answer and the decision in his heart.

“This is the last time I hesitate. I can’t hesitate anymore when I encounter this kind of situation in the future. This is the apocalypse.”

Fang Bai silently reminded himself.

Looking down, Fang Bai didn’t take the stairs. He pressed the elevator button and chose to take the elevator to the underground parking lot.

After clearing the last building unit, it was time to consider other things, but…

Fang Bai, whose Mental Power had reached ten and whose perception had become very keen, sighed slightly and tightened his grip on the claw hammer.

“Ding!”

The elevator chimed softly, and the doors slowly opened. Fang Bai took a step out. Wang Shun, who had changed his mind, was hiding to the side. Seeing Fang Bai’s foot step out, he immediately swung the steel hammer he had raised towards Fang Bai’s head.

But Fang Bai immediately retracted the foot he had just stepped out. His left hand, which had already been raised, holding the pot lid wrapped in a book, directly blocked the steel hammer.

Wang Shun looked at this scene in disbelief.

He was discovered?!

The next moment, Wang Shun felt a sharp pain in his lower body, and he almost fainted. The intense pain made him loosen his grip on the steel hammer. He curled up, clutching his lower body, and rolled on the ground in agony.

Wang Shun, lying on the ground, looked at Fang Bai approaching step by step, and his heart was instantly filled with fear and regret.

“Please, please, don’t kill me, I was wrong, I’m sorry, it was my fault, I shouldn’t have turned back, it was my fault.

Spare me, okay? Please.”

Wang Shun pleaded bitterly. Seeing that Fang Bai’s footsteps didn’t stop, his eyes widened, and his expression became ferocious.

“You can’t kill me, killing people is against the law, yes, I wanted to kill you just now, but I’ve lost the ability to resist now, you can’t touch me anymore.

There are surveillance cameras here. If you kill me, you’ll go to jail, you’ll be shot.

You can’t kill… Go to hell!”

Wang Shun’s face was狰狞, he endured the pain and suddenly got up, but the next moment, Fang Bai didn’t hesitate at all, a claw hammer directly smashed onto his throat.

Bang!

Under Wang Shun’s incredulous gaze, his body crashed to the ground.
