Survival in the Apocalypse: Max Level Drop Rate with Abundant Resources

Just as their lips were about to touch...

Suddenly, a pair of scarlet eyes flashed through Shen Xi's mind.

It is the leader of the rotting corpses.

We're still looking for him.

Shen Xi suddenly woke up.

He reached out and gently touched Lin Yurou's shoulder.

"no."

Lin Yurou was stunned, her eyes flashing with disappointment and confusion: "Why...why? Am I not good enough for you?"

Shen Xi stood up, picked up her shirt, and put it on.

"It's not a question of whether they are worthy or not."

He turned to look at Lin Yurou: "There's another leader outside looking for me. I need to conserve my energy and be ready to fight at any time. At this moment, any physical exertion will affect my condition."

Lin Yurou stared at him blankly.

She doesn't understand.

She didn't understand what a leader was, what attributes were, or why Shen Xi had to restrain himself.

But she understood those eyes.

Very calm, without the slightest wavering.

This man prioritized survival above all else.

After a moment, she lowered her head and softly hummed in agreement.

"Then...then be careful."

Shen Xi nodded and walked to the door.

He paused for a moment, without turning around:

"Eat your food sparingly and don't wander off. Once I take care of that leader, you'll be safe until the fifth day."

After saying that, he opened the door and disappeared down the corridor.

In the room, Lin Yurou sat on the bed, hugging her knees.

She recalled the scene from just now... she had hugged him from behind, her face pressed against his shoulder, her heart pounding as if she were about to die.

That was the first time in over twenty years that she had felt this way.

Not because of survival, not because of fear.

It's all because of him.

She gently touched her lips, and her face flushed again.

……

Room 444.

Shen Xi sat on the bed, closing her eyes to rest.

The wound on my chest throbbed faintly, but what was clearer than the pain was the scene that had just unfolded.

Warm breath.

A soft body.

"It almost got out of control!"

He opened his eyes and took a deep breath.

"no."

"Now is not the time to think about these things."

He opened the properties panel:

I need 55 more experience points to reach level 5.

Once I reach level 5 and have the new weapon, I should be able to have a go at that boss.

Shen Xi gripped the white bone battle axe tightly, feeling the icy touch from her palm.

tomorrow.

Tomorrow night, I'll go and meet that leader.

He looked out the window.

The night is deep.

The occasional roars of rotting corpses could be heard in the distance, but they were becoming increasingly sparse.

The fourth day is almost here.

Just hold on for two more days, and the beginner's game will be over.

But Shen Xi knew that the real apocalypse was just beginning after the beginner's game was over.

[Regional Channel - Corpse Dormitory] (Currently Online: 39/100)

"Another death? I just heard fighting downstairs!"

"I heard it too! And the roars of rotting corpses!"

"It seems to be coming from the fourth floor..."

"Is the Primordial Lord on the fourth floor? Hopefully, he's alright?"

"Bullshit! How could the Primordial Lord be in trouble!"

"Exactly! The Primordial Boss is definitely leveling up by killing monsters!"

"Where's the whiny girl? It's been so long since she's messaged me!"

"Could he be dead?"

"It's better that he's dead, so he won't be bothering everyone with his constant whining..."

Room 308.

Lin Yurou stared at the messages on the channel and remained silent for a long time.

She did not reply.

He simply put down his phone and looked at the steel pipe in the corner.

Then, she stood up, gripped the steel pipe tightly, and swung it at the air.

Very clumsy.

But she waved it again.

The third time.

Fourth time.

She didn't stop until she was covered in sweat, and looked at her hands.

"You have to rely on your own abilities to survive..."

She murmured Shen Xi's words repeatedly.

Chapter 11 Basement Level - The Ghost Doll

Fourth day.

When Shen Xi opened her eyes, she could vaguely see that it was already dawn outside the gray window.

He moved his shoulders; the wound on his chest had scabbed over, and he could move freely.

After a night's rest, my physical strength has returned to its peak.

Open the properties panel:

Level: 4 (Experience: 145/200)

55 points to go.

"I must reach level 5 today."

Shen Xi stood up and looked toward the door.

He has been staying on the seventh floor for the past few days.

However, to level up quickly, you must find a place with a high density of rotting corpses.

Where are the most decomposed corpses?

Basement level.

In my memory, the first night's zombie horde surged up from the basement level.

That area used to be an underground parking garage and warehouse, but now it's probably become a den of rotting corpses.

The risks there are very high.

But the returns are equally high.

Shen Xi gripped the bone battle axe and donned the rotting corpse claws.

"Done."

He opened the door and slipped out.

The corridor was quiet. After several days of slaughter, he had cleared away most of the rotting corpses upstairs, and since it was daytime, he hadn't encountered any rotting corpses along the way.

I encountered a few daring players during that time.

Shen Xi ignored them and headed straight for the stairwell.

down.

Upon reaching the stairwell on the first floor, it became clear that almost none of the players on the first floor had survived.

The stairwell reeked of a strong, putrid stench, even worse than a few days ago. (Shen)

Xi pressed herself against the wall and slowly peeked out.

The corridor was empty, the floor was covered with corpses and remains, some of which had already begun to rot, and flies buzzed around.

There was no sign of the leader's rotting corpse.

"Gone?"

Shen Xi frowned.

impossible.

That thing is obsessed; it's looking for some little girl and won't leave this place easily.

They've probably gone back to the duty room.

Regardless, this is an opportunity.

His gaze fell to the end of the corridor, where there was a double iron door with a faded sign: Underground Parking Garage.

Basement level entrance.

Shen Xi gripped the battle axe tightly, lowered her body, and quickly crossed the corridor.

The iron gate was ajar, and a dim light shone through the crack.

He gently pushed it away.

"Squeak..."

The door hinges emitted a harsh, screeching sound, which was particularly clear in the quiet hallway.

Shen Xi slipped inside.

Behind the door is a steep, long staircase leading downwards.

The emergency lights were broken, with only a faint glow coming through at the far end, like the emergency lighting in an underground parking garage.

The stench was so strong it was pungent, mixed with a strange, sweet, fishy smell.

Shen Xi held her breath and slowly reached down.

At the end of the stairs is an open space.

underground garage.

It was much darker here than upstairs, with only a few emergency lights on, casting a dim, yellowish light that couldn't reach any corners.

Abandoned vehicles were parked everywhere, some with open doors, some with broken windows, and the seats covered in dark brown stains.

The air was filled with a putrid stench.

Shen Xi pressed herself against the wall and slowly moved forward.

He stopped after walking a few steps.

Ahead, next to a bread truck, lay several rotting corpses.

They were gnawing on something, their backs to Shen Xi, their gray backs standing out starkly in the dim light.

Shen Xi counted them.

Five.

They are all level 1 ordinary rotting corpses.

"Perfect."

He gripped his battle axe tightly, tiptoed, and slowly approached.

ten meters.

five meters.

three meters.

The first corpse seemed to sense something and was about to turn its head...

Shen Xi made a move!

Triple hit!

The white bone battle axe drew three pale arcs in the air!

"Snap! Snap! Snap!"

The three axe blows landed almost simultaneously on the back of the first rotting corpse's neck, severing its head!

Black blood spurted out!

The other four corpses then realized what was happening and turned their heads in unison, their murky eyes locking onto Shen Xi!

"roar!!!"

Four rotting corpses pounced at the same time!

Shen Xi did not back down.

Whirlwind Slash, activate!

His body began to spin like a top!

"Puff puff puff puff!"

The four heads flew off almost simultaneously!

Black blood rained down, splattering all over Shen Xi!

The four corpses collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Kill 5 level 1 rotting corpses, experience points +25.

Five orbs of light rose up.

Shen Xi casually picked up: [Mineral Water x2], [Compressed Biscuits x3], [Energy Drink x5]

I didn't have time to look at them closely, so I put them all into the storage space.

Experience points: 170/200.

30 points to go.

"It'll be soon."

He continued forward.

The underground parking garage was much larger than I had imagined, and it was filled with abandoned vehicles.

Shen Xi made his way through, dealing with three more waves of scattered corpses, each time quickly and decisively clearing the area with a whirlwind slash.

Experience points: 195/200.

5 points to go.

Just kill one more!

Shen Xi, slightly out of breath, gripped her battle axe tightly and continued her search.

There's a corner ahead; beyond that should be the warehouse area.

He had just turned the corner...

His steps abruptly stopped.

Ahead was an open area, with a dozen or so abandoned cars arranged in a circle, and in the middle of the open space...

It was packed with rotting corpses!

At least thirty or forty of them! They were huddled together, lying on the ground, seemingly gnawing on something!

Shen Xi felt a chill run down her spine.

Even if he has Whirlwind Slash, charging in with thirty or forty enemies would be a death sentence!

He held his breath and slowly backed away.

Just then...

A rotting corpse suddenly raised its head, its cloudy eyes staring straight at his location!

"Oh no!"

Shen Xi turned and ran, showing no trace of the demeanor of a master.

Behind them, a deafening roar suddenly erupted!

"roar!!!"

Countless heavy footsteps followed!

Shen Xi ran frantically, weaving through the abandoned vehicles!

Behind them, the horde of zombies pursued relentlessly, their roars shaking the entire underground parking garage!

Ahead is a fork in the road; to the left is a staircase leading to the first floor, and to the right is a deeper warehouse area.

Shen Xi didn't hesitate and rushed to the right!

The warehouse area was even darker, the emergency lights were completely broken, and only the green light of the emergency exit signs flickered faintly.

Shen Xi rushed into the first warehouse and slammed the iron door shut behind her!

"Bang!"

The next second, the horde of zombies crashed into the door!

"Bang bang bang!"

The iron gate trembled violently, and dust fell from the door frame!

Shen Xi desperately held the door open, her eyes scanning the warehouse.

The warehouse was small, filled with cardboard boxes and shelves. There were no other exits.

"It's over? We've been cornered by these bastards!"

His gaze suddenly fell on a corner where there was a small door with a label that read "Power Distribution Room".

Without saying a word, Shen Xi rushed over and opened the door!

Behind the door was a narrow passage leading deeper inside.

Without the slightest hesitation, he went straight in and closed the door behind him!

Behind them, the sound of an iron gate being smashed open came, and the roars of the horde of corpses surged into the warehouse.

Shen Xi didn't stop for a moment, desperately moving forward in the narrow passage.

At the end of the passage, there was another door.

He pushed him away...

Then he froze.

This is a small room, like an abandoned guardhouse.

A yellowed work schedule hangs on the wall, and dusty documents are piled on the table.

But none of that mattered, because Shen Xi noticed something that sent chills down his spine.

He saw a small figure huddled in the corner.

It was a little girl.

She looked about seven or eight years old, wearing a pink dress, with her hair tied in two small braids. At that moment, she was curled up in the corner with her back to him.

Shen Xi's pupils suddenly contracted.

little girl?

This underground level is full of rotting corpses, where did this little girl come from?

unless......
