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

The roars of the rotting corpses surged up from downstairs like a tidal wave.

Shen Xi sat on the bed in room 444, the handle of an axe resting on her knees, her eyes slightly closed.

In his previous life, when he first experienced a zombie horde, he was so frightened that he hid under the bed, trembling, listening to the dragging footsteps of rotting corpses outside the door and the screams from the next room, and dared not close his eyes all night.

That night, a person on the same floor, out of curiosity, opened his door to observe, only to be discovered by a rotting corpse who broke down the door and tore him to pieces alive.

He remembered that scream for ten years.

In this life...

Shen Xi opened her eyes, her gaze clear and bright.

Although I don't know why, someone later said that in the beginner game, as long as you stay indoors and don't open the door, you are absolutely safe, but it must be the room where you woke up; it won't work in other people's rooms.

The regional channels are in an uproar.

[Regional Channel - Corpse Dormitory] (Currently Online: 81/100)

"The first floor has fallen! They're surging up from the basement!"

"Holy crap! I'm in room 205! There's something moving outside the door!"

"The stairwell on the third floor is blocked! There are at least twenty of them!"

"Help! Someone help me! I'm in room 317! They've come in! Ah..."

"Waaaaah! I'm in room 308, someone please save me, I'll give myself to you."

"Stop sending messages, run!"

"Run? Where to run? The stairwells are full of them!"

"Upstairs! Run upstairs! They're too slow!"

"Is it safe upstairs? I heard the noise from the seventh floor too!"

…………

Shen Xi glanced at the number of people online.

81 people.

These idiots are doomed if they run away.

It's only been ten minutes, and twelve people have already died.

He withdrew his gaze and focused his attention on the commotion outside the door.

Disorganized footsteps and cries echoed down the corridor.

Some people rushed down from upstairs, some were banging on the door, and some were screaming for help at the top of their lungs.

These sounds, mingled with the howls of the rotting corpses, formed a symphony of death.

"Bang bang bang!"

The door to room 444 was suddenly banged on.

"Open the door! Please open the door! Let me in!"

It was a woman's voice, filled with sobs and extreme fear.

Shen Xi didn't move.

"I hear someone inside! Please! They're catching up!"

The banging on the door became more urgent.

Shen Xi remained motionless.

In his previous life, he made the same mistake: he was too soft-hearted.

In this life, he trusts no one.

A piercing scream came from outside the door, followed by the muffled sound of flesh being torn apart and chewing.

A few seconds later, everything returned to calm.

Although Shen Xi's heart was cold, she still couldn't help but close her eyes.

The first night has only just begun.

………………

Time is passing, and players are disappearing.

Shen Xi stood up, walked to the door, and pressed her ear against the door panel.

The footsteps in the corridor were chaotic and disorderly.

Suddenly, he heard a familiar voice.

"Damn it! Don't push! Back up! Use something to hold the door shut!"

It was the voice of the young man in the floral shirt coming from the direction of room 411.

A mocking smile crept onto Shen Xi's lips.

That guy is probably still on top of Jiang Luqing's corpse, isn't he?

Sure enough, the next moment, a loud crash came from room 411, as if something heavy had hit the door.

Immediately afterwards, the young man in the floral shirt screamed, "Damn it! They're in! Get out! Get out..."

The screams abruptly stopped.

Sure enough, it's hard to have any hope of survival if you don't stay in your own room.

Shen Xi returned to bed expressionlessly.

He had no intention of saving anyone.

Going out now will only lead you into hordes of rotting corpses.

No matter how good you are at fighting, being surrounded by a dozen or so rotting corpses is a death sentence.

He wanted to wait until the zombie horde receded so he could pick up any lone, rotting corpses to kill.

I opened the storage space and glanced at today's harvest.

[Roasted Chicken x1] [Cola x1]

Two items of supplies.

That should be enough for tonight.

Shen Xi glanced at the ranking list.

[Regional Ranking: Corpse Dormitory]

Primordial - Level 2

Brother Qiang - Level 2

Elvis Presley - Level 1

…………

Someone is catching up!

Shen Xi raised an eyebrow slightly.

He didn't pay any attention and instead took out the roast chicken and Coke cards.

"use!"

With a thought, a delicious roast chicken and an iced cola appeared on the floor.

"Now is not the time to take action; conserving energy is the most important thing."

After tearing off a chicken leg, Shen Xi stopped paying attention to what was happening outside.

On the seventh floor, Zhou Qiang finally reached level 2. After seeing the message in the chat channel, he and the other two decisively chose to hide in their room.

Under the bed, listening to the screams outside, the three of them didn't dare to breathe.

…………

Two o'clock in the morning.

Six hours had passed since the zombie horde, and the roars outside began to subside.

Messages on the regional channels also became sparse; occasionally someone would report that they were safe, but most people remained silent forever.

Currently online: 47 people.

In six hours, 46 people died.

Shen Xi stood up and stretched her stiff shoulders.

He walked to the door and pressed his ear against it.

The corridor was eerily quiet.

Only the occasional low hissing could be heard, the sound of rotting corpses wandering aimlessly.

"It's about time to make a move!"

Shen Xi grasped the doorknob and slowly turned it.

"squeak……"

The door opened a crack.

The dim emergency lights flickered at the end of the corridor.

Several mutilated corpses lay on the ground, some rotting, some human.

The walls were splattered with dark brown bloodstains, and the air was thick with the stench of blood and decay.

Shen Xi slipped out the door and closed it behind her.

The corridor was empty.

Those rotting corpses that were frantically banging on the door just moments ago have now wandered off somewhere.

He tightened his grip on the fire axe, lowered his body, and crept along the wall towards the stairwell.

………………

Third floor stairwell.

Three rotting corpses were huddled around the corner, feasting on a body.

Shen Xi stopped and quietly observed.

They had their backs to Shen Xi, engrossed in eating, completely unaware of him.

"Three of them? We can give it a try!"

Shen Xi tiptoed and slowly approached.

five meters.

three meters.

one meter.

First axe blow!

Triple attack activated!

The axe blade drew three silver arcs in the darkness, striking the first rotting corpse on the back of the neck almost simultaneously!

"Snap!"

A broken cervical spine, the head drooping at an unnatural angle. Black blood spurted out!

The second corpse had just raised its head when Shen Xi's axe arrived.

No skills, just pure brute force!

With 21 points of attribute strength, plus the attack power inherent in the fire axe, this axe cleaved off half of the corpse's head!

The third one finally reacted and pounced on him with its gaping maw.

Shen Xi sidestepped its attack, and at the same time, he flipped his wrist and slammed the axe handle into the back of its knee!

"Snap!"

The rotting corpse lost its balance and knelt on one knee.

The next second, the axe blade cleaved into its temple from the side.

Three.

It took eight seconds.

Kill 3 level 1 rotting corpses, experience points +15.

Three beams of light rose from the corpse and condensed into three orbs of light.

Shen Xi reached out and scooped it up.

[Mineral water x1] [Bread x1] [Beef jerky x1]

That's right, these are all supplies, so the chances of survival are much higher.

………………

Third floor.

The number of rotting corpses has increased significantly.

Five or six were wandering in the hallway, and several doors were open, from which faint roars could be heard.

Shen Xi did not rush in rashly.

He leaned against the corner of the wall at the stairwell, silently observing their movements.

These rotting corpses are of too low a level and are slow to react.

Therefore, as long as you remain quiet, keep a low profile, sneak up behind them, and strike them deadly without alerting the others.

He chose the one on the outermost edge.

The rotting corpse was staring blankly at the wall, its gray fingers unconsciously digging at the plaster, making a "rustling" sound.

Shen Xi reached about three meters behind it.

A sudden burst of power!

Triple hit!

The three axes struck the corpse's nape almost simultaneously!

The head rolled off, and the body collapsed to the ground.

The sphere of light rose up.

[Lighter x1]

Shen Xi didn't have time to look closely and quickly retreated, disappearing back into the darkness.

The other corpses seemed to have heard the noise and turned their heads in unison, their murky eyes darting around in the darkness.

But they saw nothing.

A few seconds later, they resumed their aimless wandering.

Shen Xi's lips curled into a cold smile.

The hunt has only just begun.

………………

Over the next two hours, he cleaned up all the rotting corpses from the second to the fourth floor.

One.

Two.

Five.

Each time one is killed, a ball of light rises up.

[Mineral water x2] [Compressed biscuits x3]…………

The storage space is accumulating more and more supplies.

In his previous life, it took him three years to accumulate enough basic supplies.

In this lifetime, it only took two hours.

The drop rate of Heavenly Evolution is terrifying!

Four o'clock in the morning.

Shen Xi stood at the top of the third-floor staircase, not continuing down. He had exhausted a lot of energy and needed to replenish it.

Back inside, Shen Xi opened her attribute panel.

[Mission: Survive in the Corpse Dormitory for 5 days (0/5)]

I'm almost at level 3. I'll take a short break and then use this zombie horde to reach level 4.

After a short rest, Shen Xi set off. Just as he reached the stairwell, he heard the sounds of fighting upstairs.

"Damn! This guy's too tanky!"

"Brother Qiang! We can't win! Let's retreat!"

"Fuck you! Hold on! This guy's obviously not an ordinary corpse. If we kill him, I might even level up to level 3!"

Not an ordinary decaying corpse?

Shen Xi paused in her steps.

Could it be an elite corpse?

Without hesitation, Shen Xi grabbed the fire axe and ran towards the 7th floor.

The 7th-floor corridor was a complete mess.

In the middle of the corridor, three people were attacking an exceptionally large, rotting corpse.

The young man with the buzz cut who was leading the group was Zhou Qiang.

He held a steel pipe in his hand, which was covered in black blood, but his face was filled with terror.

Because that elite corpse was completely unafraid of their attacks.

The steel pipe struck it, leaving only faint white marks. Each of its counterattacks put the three of them in grave danger.

"Brother Qiang! I can't hold on any longer!" the skinny man screamed, his arm was scratched by the rotting corpse, leaving a deep wound that exposed the bone.

"Hold on a little longer! It's dying!" Zhou Qiang roared through gritted teeth, slamming the steel pipe down hard on the corpse's head.

The rotting corpse roared in pain, turned around abruptly, and slapped Zhou Qiang in the chest.

"Bang……"

Zhou Qiang was sent flying backward, crashing heavily into the wall and spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Brother Qiang!"

The bespectacled youth was terrified and turned to run away.

The skinny man tried to run, but the rotting corpse had already pounced on him.

Its gaping maw opened wide and bit into his neck.

"what……"

The screams abruptly stopped.

Zhou Qiang slumped against the wall, watching helplessly as the skinny man was torn apart by the rotting corpse, his eyes filled with despair.

It’s over.

It's all over.
