I Build a Floating City in the Apocalypse – Chapter 84

Chapter 84

Tap!

Tap!

Tap!

A series of footsteps came from the entrance of the village. Everyone couldn’t help but turn their heads. They saw Fang Bai walking from the entrance of the village, holding a wooden bow in his hand. When the six people saw the wooden bow in Fang Bai’s hand, their pupils shrank slightly, and they subconsciously stood in a defensive posture.

“Wu Xing has already taken people away. I didn’t pay attention to which direction they took.”

Wu Xing was the vice president of Qing Stone Mountain Company.

“If you want to enter the village, you can. You can buy things inside, but fighting is prohibited. If you want to go in, you have to put away your weapons.”

“Thank you, but we won’t be entering the village.”

The team leader took a deep look at the wooden bow in Fang Bai’s hand, then politely cupped his hands towards Fang Bai. Fang Bai nodded slightly upon seeing this.

Not easy to communicate?

That doesn’t exist. Look, isn’t this easy to communicate?

People are still quite polite.

“It’s fine. I’ve also heard about your situation. I don’t think much of those people either. It’s only been this long since the apocalypse, and they’ve already stopped treating themselves as human beings.”

Fang Bai said disdainfully.

“But they’ve been gone for a while. I guess you won’t be able to catch up. Why don’t you come in and sit down, take a rest, and have a cup of tea? I happen to be quite curious about the situation in the city.”

“I won’t bother with the tea. It’s fate that we met. What do you want to know about the city? I can tell you what I know, but I don’t know much.”

After a brief exchange, the Shield Warrior named Li Tieshan left Novice Village with his teammates, while Fang Bai stood there pondering.

He had just talked with Li Tieshan and his two archers and had obtained a lot of information about the city. Fang Bai needed to digest it.

However, seeing Bai Qing beside him, Fang Bai said,

“Bai Qing, look, they are still quite easy to communicate with. So, you just need to master a few small techniques for communication.”

Hearing this, Bai Qing walked to the large pit, one meter in diameter and several meters in destructive range, and pointed at it.

“Boss, you call this thing a small technique?”

Fang Bai smiled.

“This is called reason. When you grasp reason, others will naturally be polite. Look how polite Li Tieshan was just now. Look how enthusiastic those two archers were.”

“Of course, with such a thick ‘reason’, I would be enthusiastic too.”

“Heh.”

Fang Bai smiled, but then sighed slightly.

“But it’s still not thick enough, not hard enough.”

Bai Qing also paused slightly. He was also beside Fang Bai when he was talking to Li Tieshan, so he naturally understood what Fang Bai meant.

According to Li Tieshan, on the one hand, they were worried about their parents and came out to look for them, and on the other hand, they really couldn’t survive in the city and fled in a hurry.

The area they were previously active in wasn’t even the city center, it could only be said to be a prosperous area.

In the beginning, because there were too many zombies, and too many high-level zombies, they had no hope of breaking through.

Almost every day was spent in slaughter. Every day they opened their eyes, it was zombies, zombies!

They had encountered and killed Strong Zombies, Large Zombies, and even Fat Zombies.

If they couldn’t kill them with iron rods, they used fire axes. If they couldn’t kill them with fire axes, they burned them with gasoline. If they couldn’t burn them with gasoline, they smashed them with desks from upstairs. Every day, they tried every means to kill zombies. When they opened their eyes, they looked at their experience points to see how long it would take to level up.

As for how they survived…

A sentence from Li Tieshan made Fang Bai fall silent.

“How did we survive? You know what? Zombies are hunting. When there are enough corpses to eat, they will eat the corpses first and then chase people. You don’t need to be faster than zombies, you don’t need to be stronger than zombies, you just need to be faster than your companions, you just need to be stronger than your own kind, and you can survive, you can buy precious time to level up.

It wasn’t until Job Change items were dropped that our lives became a little easier, and we barely had the ability to protect ourselves. But it was only barely, because zombies also became stronger after eating people…

In short, there were thousands of survivors in my building at the beginning, and in the end…”

Fang Bai still remembered Li Tieshan’s smile at that time very clearly.

“Only the seven of us escaped.”

Of course, if it was just this, Fang Bai and Bai Qing would be silent, but they wouldn’t be solemn. What really made Fang Bai solemn was what Li Tieshan said later.

“I don’t know how many survivors are still active in the urban area, but there are definitely still survivors alive in the city center.

Because I even saw someone actively hunting Fat Zombies in the central area of the city!”

Li Tieshan’s eyes were full of shock when he said this.

“Of course, at that stage, many powerful zombies had basically formed blood cocoons, and the threat level in the city center had been greatly reduced. But even so, you still can’t imagine how powerful those people are.

They are all abnormally strong people. But now that the monsters in the city are breaking out of their cocoons on a large scale, and we have come out, they should be about to leave the city, right?

After all, some monsters have formed cocoons twice, or even three times!”

Li Tieshan’s eyes were full of fear.

“I encountered one three days ago. It was an elephant in Stone City Zoo. Three days ago, the elephant was six or seven meters tall, and everywhere it went was a ruin. Later, I used a telescope to find that it had walked into Stone City Zoo, and then there was a ten-meter-tall blood cocoon… Hoo, and then I took people and ran out. It’s not a place for people to stay.”

A six or seven-meter-tall zombie elephant, forming cocoons twice, three times!

Fang Bai and Bai Qing couldn’t help but change their expressions when they heard this. Even Wang Kai fell silent.

This was a suffocating gap.

Fang Bai looked around, looking at the construction site that was already spreading to both sides, the construction site that worked day and night. With hundreds of people participating at the same time, in just two days, the foundation had been dug, the steel bars had been inserted, and the wooden boards had been erected. All that was left was to pour the cement.

The wall was planned to be trapezoidal, five meters high, six meters wide at the bottom, and three meters wide at the top. Both sides were to be poured with forty centimeters thick cement, with dense steel bars inserted inside. The interior was hollow and was expected to be filled with soil and gravel, which would be compacted.

He used to think that this wall was tall and thick enough, but now he suddenly felt that it wasn’t that strong.

“It should be enough to block ordinary Strong Zombies. Higher and thicker ones will take time, and we can expand it later.”

Bai Qing said from the side, and Fang Bai was silent.

“Let’s go back.”

Fang Bai walked inside, followed closely by Bai Qing and Wang Kai. After walking for a while, Fang Bai suddenly said,

“Zombies are one aspect, and people are another. I just heard from Li Tieshan that he wasn’t even in the most central area, and his strength wasn’t among the strongest. There are quite a few people with the same strength as him, or even stronger.

They should be leaving the city soon, and a considerable number of them should be coming in the direction of our Shen Shan Town. Have you thought about how to deal with it?”

Bai Qing and Wang Kai’s expressions immediately became extremely solemn.

After Li Tieshan and the other six had gone far away, someone asked curiously,

“Team Leader, why did you tell him so much? Although this Fang Bai is quite strong, we’re not pushovers either.”

Li Tieshan glanced at him, then looked deeply in the direction of Stone City.

“The freaks in the central area of the city are about to come out, and the zombies in the city are likely to leave the city on a large scale. What can our little strength do? And this Fang Bai can be so strong in such a comfortable environment, then who knows how strong he will be in the future?

So what if I said a few more words? As long as he wants to listen, saying a few more words won’t make me lose any flesh.”

Li Tieshan finished speaking and shook his head slightly.

“Let’s go. We probably won’t be able to catch up with those three people. We’ll keep an eye out for them later. Let’s go back first.”

Li Tieshan was just about to turn around and go back when he suddenly turned his head to look in the direction of Stone City. At the same time, Fang Bai, who was in Novice Village, also suddenly looked in the direction of Stone City. And in the direction of Stone City, a huge phantom formed in the sky above it.

“Moo!!”
