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

The two entered the shopping mall.

In the basement, Gu Zhengxiong gripped the Bloodthirsty Battle Blade tightly, his eyes fixed on the entrance.

Liu Gang stood beside him, holding a rusty military knife in his hand, which was his only gain in the past few days.

Gu Yunfei huddled in the corner, trembling all over.

The sound of footsteps grew louder as they approached.

Finally, two figures appeared at the basement entrance.

Shen Xi stood at the door, carrying a battle axe. His gaze swept over the three people before finally settling on Gu Zhengxiong.

"Commander Gu, you've risen to level 6 overnight. Not bad."

Gu Zhengxiong stared at him, his eyes sinister: "Taichu, do you really think you have us cornered?"

Shen Xi ignored him and turned to look at Liu Xinghui.

"Liu Gang is yours."

Liu Xinghui took a deep breath, stepped forward, and pointed his staff directly at Liu Gang.

"Liu Gang, come out and face your death."

Liu Gang's expression changed, he gripped his military knife tightly, and looked at Gu Zhengxiong.

Gu Zhengxiong remained silent for a moment, then nodded slightly.

Liu Gang gritted his teeth and strode forward.

The two faced off.

Liu Xinghui made the first move, waving his staff and unleashing a fireball!

Liu Gang's pupils contracted sharply, and he suddenly rolled to the side!

"boom!"

The fireball exploded behind him, sending debris flying!

Liu Gang flipped himself up, pushed off with his feet, and pounced on Liu Xinghui like a cheetah!

A level 3 warrior has the advantage when fighting a level 5 mage at close range!

Liu Xinghui's expression changed, and he hurriedly retreated, but Liu Gang was too fast, and the military knife was already slashing in front of him!

Just then...

A hand reached out from the side and grabbed Liu Gang's wrist.

Shen Xi.

He looked coldly at Liu Gang, then at Liu Xinghui.

"That's not how you use a mage," he said calmly. "When he charges at you, you should have restrained him with chains."

Liu Xinghui bit his lip and did not refute.

Shen Xi released Liu Gang's wrist and took a step back.

"Again."

Liu Gang's face turned ashen. Shen Xi was using him as a whetstone, but he had no choice but to pounce on Liu Xinghui again!

This time, Liu Xinghui was smarter.

Instead of immediately launching fireballs, she flicked her left hand, and the chains shot out with a whoosh!

"Snapped!"

The chain struck Liu Gang's face, leaving a bloody mark!

Liu Gang paused, and Liu Xinghui took the opportunity to retreat, simultaneously waving his staff...

Fireball!

"boom!"

This time, Liu Gang couldn't dodge it.

The fireball exploded in his chest, instantly charring his bulletproof vest. He was sent flying backward, crashing heavily into the wall and spitting out blood!

Liu Xinghui did not stop.

The chain swung out again, wrapped around Liu Gang's neck, and was pulled sharply!

Liu Gang was pulled forward and fell face-first to the ground.

Liu Xinghui walked up to him and looked down at him.

"Is this what revenge feels like?" Her voice was icy.

Liu Gang raised his head, his face full of resentment.

Liu Xinghui stopped talking and pressed his staff against his forehead.

Fireball, point-blank range!

"boom!"

Liu Gang's head exploded instantly, and his body collapsed limply to the ground.

[Killed 1 level 3 human unit, +7 experience points!]

Liu Xinghui stood there, panting heavily.

This was her first time killing someone.

Strangely, she felt no fear, no nausea, only an inexplicable sense of pleasure.

Shen Xi glanced at her, then turned her gaze to Gu Zhengxiong.

"Now, it's your turn."

Gu Zhengxiong gripped the Bloodthirsty Battle Blade tightly, staring at Shen Xi. It wasn't that he was unwilling to save Liu Gang earlier, but Shen Xi had been watching him closely the whole time. He was certain that if he made any sudden movements, Shen Xi would definitely come and kill him.

Gu Zhengxiong was certain of defeat in this round, and prepared to fight desperately.

"Come on!" He added all his free attribute points to strength, roared, and pounced on Shen Xi!

Shen Xi did not dodge.

The Bone-Corroding Battle Axe sweeps across!

"clang!"

The clang of metal rang out, and sparks flew everywhere!

Gu Zhengxiong was sent flying backward, his tiger's mouth split open, and the Bloodthirsty Battle Blade flew out of his hand!

Level 6 versus Level 8, a crushing defeat in both level and attributes!

Shen Xi pressed her advantage relentlessly, unleashing a whirlwind triple slash!

First lap!

Gu Zhengxiong barely managed to dodge, but his left arm was grazed by the axe blade, and blood spurted out!

Second lap!

He couldn't dodge in time, and a bloody gash was torn open in his chest!

The third lap!

The axe blade was aimed straight at his neck!

At this critical moment...

"stop!"

A roar came from the corner.

Gu Yunfei rushed out, holding a pistol in his hand, the muzzle pointed at Shen Xi!

Shen Xi didn't even turn her head.

Bloodthirsty charge!

The ten-meter distance closed in an instant, and the Corrupting Bone Battle Axe swept across!

"Snap!"

Gu Yunfei's arm was severed at the root, and the pistol flew out along with the severed arm!

"ah……!!!"

Gu Yunfei's screams echoed throughout the basement.

He clutched his severed arm, rolling on the ground as blood gushed out.

"He's willing to come out." Shen Xi wasn't surprised.

Gu Zhengxiong's eyes widened as he desperately tried to get up to help, but Liu Xinghui's chains had already wrapped around his neck.

"Don't move." Her voice was icy.

Gu Zhengxiong struggled, but the chains made it hard for him to breathe.

Shen Xi walked up to Gu Yunfei and looked down at this good-for-nothing.

Gu Yunfei's face was covered in blood, and his eyes were filled with fear.

"Please...please..." he hissed, "Don't kill me...I'll give you anything...money...women...everything..."

Shen Xi didn't say anything.

He simply lifted his foot and stepped on Gu Yunfei's severed arm. (Readers are all...)

"ah……!!!"

The screams rang out again.

"Do you know how many girls you killed that night?" Shen Xi's voice was calm.

Gu Yunfei shook his head frantically: "I...I don't know...it wasn't me...it was them..."

Gu Yunfei completely broke down, tears streaming down his face: "I was wrong... I was really wrong... Please..."

Shen Xi squatted down and looked at him.

"Do you know? When your older brother died, he didn't even have time to beg for mercy before I killed him."

Gu Yunfei's pupils suddenly contracted.

"You were luckier than him; you managed to say a few more words."

The axe flashed.

Gu Yunfei's head rolled off, and blood spurted out.

"No……"

Gu Zhengxiong's angry roar was abruptly cut short. After killing Gu Yunfei, Shen Xi dealt with Gu Zhengxiong as well.

In his previous life, the mighty Lion God of War died with his eyes wide open, clearly unable to rest in peace. And the renowned Lion Legion was completely wiped out by Shen Xi at the very beginning of the apocalypse.

[Killed 1 level 0 human unit, +5 experience points!]

[Killed 1 level 6 human unit, +10 experience points!]

Current progress: 276/276

[Revenge mission "Crimson Night" completed!]

Shen Xi stood up and shook the blood off the axe blade.

Behind him, Liu Xinghui loosened the chains, and Gu Zhengxiong's body slumped to the ground.

Shen Xi stood still, waiting for the system to settle the score.

[Buzz...!]

Golden light exploded in my consciousness.

[Congratulations, host, on completing the revenge mission "Crimson Night"!]

[Due to the activation of temporary mode, the mission time has been recalculated and the mission evaluation has been reassessed. Mission rating: S (Perfect)]

[Hunter's Mark, to be reclaimed!]

[Rewards being distributed...]

[Rewards: 1 Normal Golden Finger Draw Card, 1 Bronze Equipment Box, 1 Spirit Enhancement Potion]

"It seems the sudden appearance of this revenge mode hasn't affected the Crimson Night mission timeline, thankfully."

Shen Xi took a deep breath, and a thought struck her.

[Use the regular cheat codes to draw cards!]

The golden light screen shone brightly, and countless runes flowed rapidly.

A moment later, the light froze.

[Congratulations, host! You have obtained a Level 1 Common Cheat Code: Slavery Contract!]

[Slave Contract: Tier 1!]

[Effect: Allows you to enslave two corpse-type monsters of level no higher than yourself, making them permanent servants. Enslaved monsters share 80% of the player's attributes, can grow alongside the player, and will obey all commands of the host.]

[Currently enslaved: 0/1]

[Note: Master-servant contract, sharing life and death.]

Shen Xi raised her eyebrows slightly.

Enslaving rotting corpses?

In his previous life, he had seen abilities and tools that could enslave, and he had enslaved many people, but he had never seen anyone enslave a corpse.

This is... outrageous!

Shen Xi began to feel curious about the other abilities of the Dominator System.

He temporarily ignored the enslavement contract and took out the bronze-level equipment box.

turn on.

【Name: Bone-Concealing Hat】

Type: Armor

[Quality: Bronze]

[Defense: 8-12]

[Special Effect: Conceals presence, making it difficult for enemies to detect the host's location]

[Description: Made from a decaying skull, wearing it will allow you to blend into the darkness.]

Shen Xi put the bamboo hat on her head, and a strange feeling washed over her, as if she had merged into the surrounding shadows.

Good stuff, it will make assassinations much easier in the future.

Finally, the mental enhancement potion.

He tilted his head back and poured it down.

[Spiritual Energy: 44 + 5 = 49]

A warm current flowed into my mind, and my five senses became clearer.

After doing all this, Shen Xi raised her head and looked at Liu Xinghui.

She was standing beside Gu Yunfei's body, lost in thought.

"What's wrong?"

Liu Xinghui turned his head, a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.

"It's nothing." She paused, "It just feels...like a dream."

Just then...

The entire ruins suddenly trembled violently!

"Boom!"

The ground cracked open, the walls collapsed, and countless rubble fell from the ceiling!

Shen Xi grabbed Liu Xinghui and rushed out of the basement!

Outside, the ruins are collapsing.

But what was even more terrifying was a deafening roar coming from afar!

That roar was ten times more terrifying than any of the rotting corpses we had encountered before!

Shen Xi's pupils contracted slightly.

He looked up...

Deep within the ruins, a gigantic figure slowly rises.

He was a middle-aged man in his thirties, dressed in a suit, and wearing a pair of broken glasses.

At this moment, his body was covered in bluish-gray, his skin was cracked, and his fingernails had become long and black. Most terrifying of all were his eyes, which were blood-red and flashed with madness and savagery.

[Corpse Leader (Level 8)]

Strength: 52, Spirit: 40, Agility: 38, Constitution: 55

[Skill: Unknown]

Just as Shen Xi was about to speak, Liu Xinghui, who was beside her, suddenly stiffened.

She stared at the figure, her lips trembling, her eyes instantly reddening.

"Chen...Chen Ming..."

Shen Xi was stunned.

Chen Ming?

Liu Xinghui's secretary?

The person Gu Yunfei threw into the iron cage and bit to death? He saw him from afar, how did he become like this?

At this moment, Chen Ming stood in the center of the ruins, his scarlet eyes fixed on them.

The roar exploded again.

The entire ruins were trembling.
