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

The wildly popular online novel, "Survival in the Apocalypse: Max Level, Abundant Drop Rates and Resources," is a heartfelt work by author Riding a Cow, available on Cola Novels.

The shouts of battle from the east and west sides gradually faded into the distance.

The howls of the rotting corpses moved to both sides, and the open space in front of the main gate quickly cleared up. More than a dozen rotting corpses lay scattered on the ground, black blood flowing through the cracks in the paving stones, and a strong stench of decay filled the air.

"Now! Brothers... charge...!"

With a wave of his hand, Tiger Lord sent over fifty main force members swarming in, rushing through the main entrance of the cold storage.

Shen Xi followed in the middle of the group, with Ming Ying staying close by. The moment they stepped through the door, a bone-chilling cold hit them. Although the cold storage had long been without power, the low temperatures accumulated over the years had made it at least ten degrees Celsius colder than outside.

"Damn, it's freezing." Someone cursed.

"Stop talking nonsense and get going!"

The beams of headlamps crisscrossed in the darkness, illuminating the interior of the cold storage.

A massive steel structure supports the high ceiling, with densely packed freezer compartments on both sides. Most of the iron doors are half-open, revealing dark, unseen interiors. A thin layer of frost covers the floor, crunching underfoot. A network of pipes crisscrosses overhead, some broken and dangling.

Shen Xi's gaze swept around, and memories of her previous life surfaced in her mind.

He had been to this cold storage facility three times.

The first time, he was used as a pawn by Gu Yungui and Jiang Luqing, and accidentally killed the level 9 boss, obtaining the Blood Berserker's job advancement core.

The second time was after I successfully changed jobs and came back to farm equipment. By then, I was already level twelve and led a team to wipe out the entire area.

the third time……

Forget it, I don't want to.

In short, he knew every inch of the cold storage facility by heart.

Ahead is a straight main passageway that forks at the end. Turning left leads to the frozen processing area, while turning right leads to the storage area. The deepest and coldest area is the freezer where meat was stored back then.

That level 9 boss is entrenched in the cryogenic chamber.

The team continued deeper into the area.

After walking for about five minutes, the main passage came to an end, and a huge crossroads suddenly appeared before us. Four forks in the road led in different directions, and from the depths of each fork, the faint roars of rotting corpses could be heard.

Tiger stopped and frowned at the bespectacled college student: "Glasses, where's your map? Which way do we go?"

He pushed up his glasses, looked down at the worn-out hand-drawn map in his hand, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead: "This...this map only shows the general structure of the cold storage. The specific route...we'll have to figure it out ourselves."

"Fumbling around?" Tiger's face darkened. "Are you fucking kidding me?"

Just then, someone in the crowd suddenly exclaimed, "There's light over there!"

Everyone turned their heads in unison.

Deep within the fork in the road on the right, a faint, eerie light flickered, like some kind of lighting device. The light flashed intermittently, standing out starkly in the darkness.

"Where there's light, there are people! Maybe they're players who came in earlier!" someone exclaimed excitedly.

"Let's go take a look!"

Before Tiger Lord could give the order, more than a dozen people had already rushed over there.

With someone taking the lead, more people followed and surged toward the fork in the road. The once orderly line instantly broke apart, with the fifty-odd people splitting into several groups, each rushing off in different directions.

"Damn it!" Tiger cursed, but he couldn't stop it.

Glasses led a few college students to the left fork in the road, while the migrant workers followed the beam of light to the right. The remaining members of the Mad Tiger Gang and a dozen or so casual players stood there, looking at each other in bewilderment.

Tiger took a deep breath and turned to Shen Xi: "Brother Gu, what about you? Which side are you with?"

Shen Xi looked up and around.

This location is about 800 meters away from the freezer room.

almost.

"Just take a stroll," he said casually. "Please do as you please, Tiger."

After saying that, he led Mingying into the deepest and quietest passage directly ahead.

Tiger watched his retreating figure, narrowed his eyes, and gave a wink to his two trusted subordinates.

The two understood and followed silently.

……

The passage is very deep.

The further you go in, the lower the temperature gets. Your breath condenses into white mist in the air, and the frost under your feet grows thicker and thicker. Most of the doors to the freezer compartments on both sides are tightly closed, with only a few ajar, from which a pungent, putrid stench wafts.

Shen Xi walked at a leisurely pace, more like she was taking a stroll.

Behind them, two faint footsteps followed.

After walking another two hundred meters, the surroundings became completely quiet. The shouts of battle and the howls of rotting corpses in the distance could no longer be heard; only the sound of one's own breathing and footsteps remained.

Shen Xi stopped in her tracks.

"Come out."

After a few seconds of silence, two people emerged from around the corner.

One was Tiger's right-hand man, named Ah Kun, in his early thirties, with a face full of scars, holding a fire axe. The other was named Blackie, lean, with sinister eyes, holding two rusty machetes.

Ah Kun grinned: "Brother Gu has good hearing."

Shen Xi looked at them without saying a word.

Ah Kun continued, "Tiger Master sent us to ask Brother Gu where he's headed?"

"Just taking a stroll," Shen Xi said casually.

"Just taking a stroll?" Dark-skinned man scoffed. "This path isn't very bright, and there aren't many people around. Brother Gu, you're walking with quite a bit of confidence."

Ah Kun slung the fire axe over his shoulder and looked Shen Xi up and down: "Brother Gu, that straw hat you're wearing is nice. Tiger has taken a liking to it, name your price."

Shen Xi raised an eyebrow slightly: "Oh?"

"Stop pretending," Blackie sneered. "Tiger said that everyone who enters this cold storage today, except for those from our Mad Tiger Gang, will die here. Tiger will keep everything in here for himself."

He licked his lips, his eyes gleaming greedily: "With this equipment and supplies, Tiger will be able to establish himself in Starshine City. Then, our Mad Tiger Gang will be the number one gang in Starshine City!"

Shen Xi smiled after hearing this.

"Do you know?" Shen Xi said slowly, "I've been waiting for this moment ever since I entered the cold storage."

Ah Kun's expression changed: "What do you mean?"

"What I mean is..." Shen Xi looked up, "I also need someone to bring me in. After all, killing those hundreds of rotting corpses outside would be too time-consuming."

He paused, then his smile widened: "Thank you, Tiger, and also the people from your Mad Tiger Gang, for saving me this trouble."

Ah Kun and Blackie's expressions changed drastically, and they subconsciously took a step back.

"You fucking..."

Before he could finish speaking, Mingying moved.

No one even saw his movements clearly; they only felt a gust of foul wind pass by before the dark-skinned man's body flew out!

"Bang!"

A vast collection of science fiction novels to satisfy your reading preferences.

He slammed heavily against the wall five meters away, his chest caved in, he vomited blood, convulsed twice, and then fell silent.

[Servant "Shadow" has killed 1 Level 3 Human Unit, gaining 7 Experience Points!]

Ah Kun froze on the spot, his hand holding the axe trembling violently.

"You...you all..."

Shen Xi ignored him.

He slowly raised his hand, and a jet-black card emerged from his palm.

[Game Dungeon Forced Activation Card (Bronze Level)]

"Since you're here, don't be in such a hurry to leave." Shen Xi looked at the card, her voice calm as still water. "I'm showing you something good; consider it a big gift from me to your Mad Tiger Gang."

Ah Kun's pupils contracted sharply. Although he didn't know what it was, his instincts told him that it was definitely not a good thing.

He wanted to run away.

But as soon as he turned around, Mingying was already blocking his way.

Shen Xi stopped wasting words and her mind raced...

[Should I use a forced activation card for game instances?]

[Area: 10 kilometers]

[Coverage Area: Entire Ruins in the North of the City]

[Estimated number of players covered: 127]

[Estimated number of decomposed corpses covered: 5327]

[Confirm?]

A cruel smile curled at the corner of Shen Xi's lips.

5327 decaying corpses.

127 players who have just finished the beginner dungeon.

That's enough to give them a hard time.

"confirm."

The pitch-black card exploded instantly, transforming into countless beams of light that shot into the sky!

Those eerie lights pierced through the roof of the cold storage, through the sky above the ruins, and exploded into a huge curtain of light in the dawn!

The light curtain spreads wildly in all directions from the cold storage as the center!

Ten kilometers!

The entire northern ruins were shrouded in darkness!

The next second, all the players in Starshine City heard the system notification sound...

[Regional Announcement!!!]

[Player "Taichu" used a "Forced Dungeon Activation Card" in the North Ruins of Starshine City!]

[Special Dungeon Forced to Activate: Corpse Nest - Deathmatch Arena!]

[Instance Type: Survival Arena]

Number of participants: 127

The regional channel exploded instantly!

[Huaxia Region - Xinghui City Channel]

"Holy crap!!! The Primordial Lord is up to his old tricks again!"

"Forced dungeons? You can do that?"

"127 people entering a dungeon at the same time? And it's a deathmatch arena? This is a recipe for total wipeout!"

"The Primordial God is awesome! But this is way too ruthless..."

"Hey upstairs, what do you know? This is the vision of a true master!"

"127 people versus over 5,000 rotting corpses... I can't even imagine it..."

But Shen Xi had no time to pay attention to any of that.

Ah Kun in front of him was completely dumbfounded.

The arrogant and domineering thug from the Mad Tiger Gang was now trembling, his eyes glazed over, muttering, "It's all over, it's all over."

Shen Xi didn't bother to look at him.

He raised his hand, a thought flickering in his mind...

The dungeon is open; time to equip your gear.

In an instant, all the equipment appeared simultaneously!

He slipped on the Bone Nightmare Boots, covered his legs with Bone Spike Leggings, and his Storm Cloak fluttered behind him. The Bone Concealment Hat remained on his head, the Corrupted Bone Battle Axe fell into his palm, the Mine Lord's Bone Blade was inserted at his waist, and the Power Bracelet shimmered with an eerie light on his wrist.

Finally, the silver-gray star-studded uniform, shimmering with faint starlight, slowly covered the entire body.

The moment Shen Xi donned the full set of equipment, a terrifying sense of oppression exploded from her body!

The oppressive feeling was so strong that Ah Kun's legs went weak and he knelt down on the ground!

Is this really the same low-key and silent young man from before?

This is clearly a god of slaughter who crawled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood!

"Who...who are you?" Ah Kun hissed.

Shen Xi looked down at him, her gaze indifferent as water.

"Can't you guess it yet?"

Ah Kun's pupils shrank to their maximum size.

In the beginning?!

The Primordial One, who caused the entire server to flood with announcements.

How could they have provoked such a killing god?

"No...don't kill me..." Ah Kun kowtowed desperately, "I...I didn't see anything...please..."

Shen Xi ignored him.

"Whether you live or die is entirely up to your own fate."

Ignoring Ah Kun, he looked up into the depths of the passage.

There, the air conditioning was the strongest, and the stench was the most intense.

he came.

Ten years later, he came again.

"Let's go." Shen Xi stepped forward. "It's time to see some old friends."

Behind him, Mingying silently followed.

Ah Kun knelt on the spot, trembling all over.

He lay on the ground, panting heavily, until the two figures disappeared into the darkness.

But the next second...

In the darkness, a rotting hand reached out from the nearby freezer compartment and gripped his ankle.

"ah……!!!"

The screams abruptly stopped.

……

Deep inside the cold storage, in front of the freezer compartment.

Shen Xi stopped in her tracks.

Before me stood a massive iron gate, its surface thick with frost. A chilling cold emanated from the cracks in the gate, along with faint breathing sounds.

call……

Suck……

call……

Suck……

Like some enormous creature sleeping.

Shen Xi gripped the Corrupted Bone Battle Axe tightly, a nostalgic smile playing on her lips.

"Ten years have passed, and we meet again."

He raised his hand and pushed open the long-sealed door.
