I Build a Floating City in the Apocalypse – Chapter 83

Chapter 83

“That team leader’s strength is very formidable. Chen Qingshi couldn’t even withstand a single move in front of him, instantly defeated. I suspect he’s at least above Level 15, and his Job Coefficient won’t be too low,” Bai Qing said with a solemn expression.

“And the entire Qing Stone Mountain force only has the three Professionals who came to us to buy scrolls left.

They’ve already run away, and the deputies of the other six factions have also returned to report the situation.”

“How did you find out about this?”

Fang Bai’s expression was grave.

“I just arranged for someone to join Qing Stone Mountain yesterday, and he just ran back.

Some of these things were said personally by those seven people when they were taking revenge, and some were his deductions.”

Fang Bai nodded slightly, not saying anything more, but turned his head to look in the direction of Stone City.

He now understood why no zombies or monsters had been lured out of the city for several days.

This was entirely because there were still people active within the city. Just as he had speculated before, once they didn’t leave the city, then as the number of people inside decreased, all the zombies in the city would converge towards the places where there were people.

When there was no one left in the city, the zombies would naturally be attracted out of the city by the crowds outside.

Now that there were still people in the city, the zombies naturally wouldn’t come out.

It’s just that Fang Bai couldn’t quite believe it.

“How on earth did they survive in such a harsh area in the city center?”

Fang Bai was certain that almost all the survivors who were a little further out should have rushed out of the city. Those who were still inside were probably those who were originally in the city center and couldn’t get out.

“Perhaps it’s precisely because of this that those seven people who rushed out from the city center are so strong?”

Bai Qing whispered beside him.

“For the first three days of the apocalypse, we were absolutely safe hiding in our houses.

In the first three days, the zombies we hunted were just ordinary zombies, not even as strong as normal people.

On the fourth and fifth days, when the zombies started to gradually upgrade and the large zombies started to actively attack, we broke out of the city.

Yesterday and today, we were busy gathering resources, establishing a base, and preparing to defend against zombie attacks.

But the city center?”

Bai Qing fell silent for a moment.

“On the first day, when the internet wasn’t down yet, I saw the situation in the city center. At that time, many large zombies had already appeared inside, and strong zombies were everywhere.

And there was even a four-meter-tall Fat Zombie.

They couldn’t rush out, so they could only hold on in the city center. And from the first day onwards, there were no safe zones in the city center, and it wasn’t safe inside the houses either.

In that kind of environment, everyone had to be strong, everyone had to become stronger.

It’s not that everyone has a talent for combat, and not everyone is so lucky.

It can only be said that those who didn’t have talent and weren’t lucky have already died. Those who survived are all strong.”

Bai Qing took a deep breath.

“Given the population density of the city center, at least tens of thousands of people must have survived, right? I just don’t know how many are left now.”

Fang Bai shook his head slightly.

“What’s the situation now?”

“Those seven people should be on their way here. They won’t let the remaining Professionals go. But if they come here, I’m afraid it won’t be easy to communicate.”

“Not easy to communicate? If they come, tell me… no, wait, they’re already here.”

Fang Bai narrowed his eyes, directly grabbing the wooden bow and arrows beside him, drawing the bow and nocking an arrow. During the process of the arrow’s power accumulation, Fang Bai’s Mental Power actively intervened to coordinate and compress, and also mobilized the surrounding wind element to cooperate with the accumulation.

Under this, the speed of the arrow’s power accumulation instantly surged, reaching the level that would normally require a minute of accumulation in the blink of an eye. Yet only a few seconds had passed, and the accumulation was still continuing.

From the direction of Shen Shan Town, six figures covered in blood and filled with murderous aura were rapidly charging forward. Shield Warrior, Sword and Shield Warrior, Spearman, Archer… even while running at high speed, the six still maintained their formation, displaying very high combat quality and tacit understanding.

“Captain, the Novice Village is just ahead. From the information we gathered earlier, there’s a very strong Archer in the Novice Village.”

A Sword and Shield Warrior spoke. Before the leader at the front could say anything, the Archer behind let out a sneer.

“Brother Hui, don’t even mention those Archers who’ve been messing around in the suburbs. Didn’t Chen Qingshi also claim to be very strong just now? Trained in martial arts, the top expert, but he couldn’t even last a single move against the Captain?

Very strong? It’s just Level 11 or 12 at most. How strong can they be?”

The Archer’s words revealed a hint of disdain, and although the others didn’t speak, their expressions were roughly the same.

“These people outside are far worse than those we encountered in the city before. It’s not that they’re bad, it’s just the environment. It can’t be compared, it’s too comfortable.

The seven days we endured inside weren’t for nothing.”

“But I heard them say before that this Vice President went to buy spell scrolls. If they have spell scrolls for sale outside, someone might have obtained a Mage Job Change item and become a Mage. Don’t underestimate them.”

Upon hearing this, everyone’s expressions immediately became more serious. They hadn’t heard of Mage Job Change or seen a Mage in the city for so long, but the name alone was enough to make them cautious.

Because in their usual understanding, Mage was synonymous with explosive damage and diverse methods.

“Don’t worry too much. So what if it’s a Mage? Our levels aren’t for show either. The seven days we spent in the city weren’t for nothing. If this Mage doesn’t become our enemy, then fine.

If they dare to harbor the murderer who killed my father, then we’ll just kill another Mage today! Level is the key. Without a high level, a Mage is nothing.”

The Captain spoke with a slightly hoarse voice.

“Yes.”

“Understood.”

However, as soon as the words left his mouth, the Captain at the front suddenly looked up towards the upper right, in the direction of the Novice Village. An arrow pierced through the air, the wind whistling around it like a dragon’s roar. The Captain clearly sensed a fatal threat, his expression changing slightly.

And when the two Archers in the team saw the arrow in the air, their pupils suddenly constricted.

“Raise shields!!”

At this time, they had actually reached the vicinity of the Novice Village. The few people maintaining order at the village entrance saw the six people rushing over, covered in blood and full of murderous aura, and immediately raised their shields and gripped their spears tightly.

But before they could speak, the six people suddenly stopped and leaped back. The two Shield Warriors at the front raised two barriers in succession. Just as they were puzzled, a whistling sound came from above. Before they could look up, they saw an arrow from within the village, accompanied by a howling wind, draw a parabola in the air before landing in front of the six people.

Whoosh!

Boom!

When the arrow landed, it was like a howitzer bombardment. The sharp energy that was rotating like a tornado around the arrow lost control and erupted, directly blasting a large hole with a diameter of over a meter in the ground. The ground within a radius of several meters was scarred by the strong wind.

Immediately afterwards, the violent wind and arrow fragments slammed into the shields in front, causing the light on the surface of the shields to flicker slightly.

Moments later, the dust settled. The Captain looked back at the two Archers in the team and saw them staring at the large hole in the ground, their expressions not looking very good.

“Is everyone alright?”

Everyone shook their heads.

“It’s fine, no one’s injured.”

At this time, the Archer spoke with a slightly dry throat.

“This arrow wasn’t even locked onto anyone, it was just a warning. Of course, everyone’s fine.

This was just a warning. This Archer is terrifyingly strong.”

Upon hearing this, everyone’s expressions changed drastically.

And at this moment, accompanied by the sound of footsteps, Fang Bai, holding a wooden bow, slowly walked out from the direction of the village entrance.
