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

Shen Xi stepped into the freezer.

step.

Two steps.

Three steps.

"A bunch of trash, who gave you the courage to gang up on my people?"

He stood amidst the horde of rotting corpses, surrounded by hideous faces.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Mingying simply nodded slightly.

Shen Xi withdrew her gaze and landed on the rotting corpses.

The ability to perceive all things is instantly unlocked!

Thirty-seven information panels appeared simultaneously!

The weaknesses of all five elites are clearly marked!

Frost Ripper (Level 8 Elite) - Weakness: Abdominal Ice Crystal Core (Breaking this core freezes the user for 3 seconds)

Boneblade Butcher (Level 7 Elite) - Weaknesses: Right shoulder joint (weak defense), left knee ligaments (hitting this will cause him to lose his balance)

Berserker (Level 6 Elite) - Weakness: Third vertebra of the back (breaks and paralyzes)

【…】

Shen Xi's lips curled into a cold smile.

"Thirty-seven?"

He gripped the Corrupted Bone Battle Axe tightly, and 81 points of power surged within his body!

"Not enough to kill."

The moment he finished speaking, he moved!

Bloodlust and berserk mode!

All attributes +50%! Attack speed and movement speed +30%!

A warm current surged through his body, his muscles swelled, his blood vessels dilated, and his eyes gleamed with a scarlet light!

The strength points instantly surged from 81 to 121!

Agility surged from 71 points to 106 points!

My constitution skyrocketed from 71 to 106, and with the +100% constitution bonus from the Open Heaven profession... my actual constitution and strength directly broke through 200!

At this moment, Shen Xi is a god of death!

He charged toward the Frost Ripper, his Bone-Corroding Battle Axe aimed straight for the ice crystal core in its abdomen!

The elite reacted and swept his claws across!

But Shen Xi was too fast!

With 106 points of agility, combined with the 15% movement speed bonus from the Bone Nightmare Boots, his figure was so fast that even afterimages could not be seen!

"Snap!"

The axe blade precisely pierced the core of the ice crystal!

The Frost Ripper screamed in agony as its entire body was instantly covered in frost and frozen solid!

Shen Xi didn't even glance at it, and turned to pounce on the nearest Bone Blade Butcher!

In the all-seeing field of vision, the pale red dot on the right shoulder joint was flashing wildly!

The Bone-Corroding Battle Axe sweeps across!

"Snap!"

His right arm was severed at the root!

The Bone Blade Butcher screamed and retreated, as Shen Xi's next axe was already aimed at its neck!

"Snap!"

Head flew off!

[Killed 1 Level 7 Elite Corpse, Experience Points +60!]

[Return of All Things to the Warehouse Triggered: Gold +120, Resource Card x3]

Shen Xi didn't stop; she turned around and pounced on the next one!

three seconds.

All five elites were wiped out!

The remaining thirty-two ordinary corpses froze for a second, then pounced on them frantically!

Shen Xi advanced instead of retreating!

Whirlwind Triple Slash!

First circle! The axe flashed, and eight rotting corpses were cut in half at the waist!

Second lap! Ten more fell to the ground!

Third lap! Cut down the rest!

three seconds.

Thirty-seven rotting corpses, all wiped out!

The freezer was deathly silent.

Only black blood flowed, and only rotting corpses piled up into small mountains.

Shen Xi stood in the middle of the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood, her whole body covered in blood, but her eyes were calm as water.

He turned around and looked at Mingying.

Mingying was still leaning against the corner of the wall, staring blankly at him.

For the first time, awe appeared in those deep, dark eyes.

Shen Xi walked over and stood in front of him.

"Can you walk?"

Mingying nodded and struggled to stand up, but her legs gave way and she almost fell.

Shen Xi reached out to support him.

"Don't move."

On a whim, he took out a hot meal and a bundle of bandages from his storage space.

"Eat something first, then bandage the wound."

Mingying took the food but didn't touch it, just looked at him.

Shen Xi raised an eyebrow: "What are you looking at? Eat! From now on, you're only allowed to eat rice, not rotting corpses."

Mingying looked at the food and water with some reluctance, then looked at the rotting corpses on the ground and couldn't help but swallow.

"Don't look at those garbage corpses, eat these."

Looking at Mingying's eyes, Shen Xi felt a little helpless. He had just turned from a human into a corpse, so why did he have the habits of a corpse? She had to change him no matter what.

"After you finish eating, rest for ten minutes until the weakness wears off, then we'll set off."

Mingying could only nod.

Shen Xi turned around and looked at the darkness outside the freezer.

With his all-seeing vision, the entire corpse lair unfolded before him. Countless points of light flickered—those were still-living corpses, and… survivors.

"It's time to end this instance."

……

Ten minutes later.

Shen Xi led Ming Ying out of the freezer.

Mingying's wounds were bandaged up, and she regained some strength. Although she was still weak, she could at least walk and move around.

Shen Xi stood at the entrance of the passage, activated his All-Seeing Insight, and surveyed the entire ruins.

"Next, we'll fight our way through."

He gripped the bone-corroding battle axe and strode forward.

Mingying followed silently behind.

The two walked one after the other toward the area where the corpses were most concentrated.

Behind them lay a ground littered with rotting corpses and remains.

Ahead, a new killing spree is about to begin.

……

Meanwhile, somewhere in the ruins.

Tiger was hiding behind a pile of abandoned freezers, panting heavily.

He had only three people left with him, all of them wounded.

"Tiger...do we still have a chance to get out of here alive?" one of his men asked, trembling.

Tiger didn't speak, he just stared intently at the darkness in the distance.

He just heard a noise.

The commotion came from the east; it wasn't the roar of rotting corpses, but... the sounds of human combat.

But the sounds of battle were terrifying.

It fell silent in just a few seconds.

Tiger swallowed hard and lowered his voice, "There... are people over there."

"Someone's there?" The subordinate's eyes lit up. "Should we go and meet them?"

Tiger was silent for a moment, then shook his head.

"Wait a minute."

He paused, a complex light flashing in his eyes.

"Wait a minute."

He paused, a complex light flashing in his eyes.

"Anyone who can kill so decisively in a place like this... is no ordinary person."

"Maybe it's that big shot..."

"That big shot who flooded the entire server with announcements..."

The subordinate was stunned: "You mean... the Beginning?"

Tiger did not answer.

He simply stared at the east side, a deep sense of apprehension flashing in his eyes.

"Whether he is or not, let's not mess with him."

"This kind of person is not someone you can afford to mess with."

……

Another set of ruins.

The short-haired woman leaned against the wall, her body covered in wounds, but her eyes remained sharp.

Beside her, the girl who had been rescued earlier was also being protected.

The girl trembled, "Sister...can we survive?"

The short-haired woman remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking.

"able."

She raised her head and looked into the distance.

The faint sounds of battle could be heard from there.

It wasn't the howling of rotting corpses, but... the shouts of humans.

But the shouts of battle were too brief.

Each time it rings, it falls silent after a few seconds.

Then, a deathly silence will appear in the darkness.

The short-haired woman's pupils contracted slightly.

"Someone is clearing the area."

She murmured.

"And...it was cleaned up very quickly."

"As fast as... a monster."

She took a deep breath and gripped the steel pipe tightly.

"Whoever it is, I hope... they are friends, not enemies."

Inside the freezer, corpses lay strewn everywhere.

Shen Xi stood in the middle of the pile of corpses, panting heavily, with Ming Ying leaning against him.

"good?"

Mingying remained silent for a moment, then nodded slightly.

Shen Xi smiled and began to examine the condition of the corpse nest:

[Corpse Nest - Deathmatch Arena]

[Current surviving players: 41/127]

[Current surviving corpses: 3127/5327]

[End Condition: Either side's numbers are reduced to 10% (players must survive to fewer than 13, and the number of rotting corpses must be reduced to fewer than 533)]

Shen Xi raised an eyebrow slightly.

41:3127.

There are only 41 players left, and more than 3,000 corpses.

Based on this ratio, without external intervention, the players would undoubtedly die. Even if the remaining 41 people were all highly skilled, they would only be torn to shreds by more than three thousand rotting corpses.

pity……

"I'm back."

Shen Xi gripped the Corrupted Bone Battle Axe tightly, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"How's it going? Can you still fight?"

Mingying stood up straight in silence, her twin bone blades held horizontally in front of her chest.

Shen Xi nodded and turned to walk towards the door of the freezer.

"Then we'll cut through it."

The next two hours were two hours that all the survivors of the Corpse Nest would never forget.

Deep inside the cold storage, the terrifying sounds of fighting never ceased.

The sound was sometimes rapid like a torrential downpour, and sometimes deep and muffled like thunder. The howls of the rotting corpses disappeared in swathes, as if someone were harvesting wheat with a sickle, each stroke felling a swathe.

The survivors, hiding in various places, trembled with fear, not knowing what had happened.

Someone peered through the crack and saw two dark figures weaving through the horde of corpses, mowing down the rotting bodies as they passed.

The two dark figures were too fast, so fast that their movements were completely invisible. All that could be seen was the flashing of blades, the spurting of black blood, and then the muffled thuds of rotting corpses falling to the ground.

[Current surviving corpses: 2987... 2743... 2512...]

[Current surviving corpses: 2236... 1984... 1701...]

[Current surviving corpses: 1423... 1187... 956...]

The numbers on the screen jumped wildly, each jump signifying the death of several or even dozens of rotting corpses.

The survivors stared wide-eyed, unable to believe what they were seeing.

"This...this is a human being?"

"Two people slaughtering through more than three thousand rotting corpses?"

"Tai Chu...it must be Tai Chu! Only he has this power!"

"Boss, you are our savior."

"Waaaaah..."

Some people were so excited that tears welled up in their eyes, some burst into tears on the ground, and some even knelt down and kowtowed towards the depths of the cold storage.

Tiger huddled behind the refrigeration unit, trembling all over.

He remembered the young man in the straw hat, the one he had sent Ah Kun and Blackie to follow...

"It's all over, all over, all over..." Tiger muttered. "Ah Kun and Blackie haven't spoken at all, they're probably dead. I've messed with this killing god..."

His henchman next to him asked tremblingly, "Tiger, should we... should we run?"

Tiger slapped him across the face: "Run your mother's ass! Where do you think you're going?! It's full of rotting corpses outside! Just wait to die!"

Another hour passed.

[Current surviving corpses: 843... 712... 598...]

The moment the number jumped to 532—

[Regional Announcement!!!]

[The conditions for ending the Corpse Nest - Deathmatch Arena have been met!]

The number of corpses has decreased to below 10% (currently 532 survivors)!

[Instance complete!]

[Settlement begins...]

Golden light descended from the sky, enveloping the entire ruins.

All survivors were simultaneously teleported out of their hiding place and landed on an open area outside the cold storage.

Shen Xi stood at the very front, covered in blood, like a demon crawling out of hell.

Mingying stood silently behind him, the bone-bladed twin blades still dripping blood.

All around, forty-one survivors stood slumped about, some covered in wounds, others too weak to stand, but all their eyes were fixed on that figure.

[Instance settlement in progress...]

[Kill Ranking:]

[1st Place: Tai Chu (Level 11) - Kills: 486]

2nd Place: Mingying (Level 9) - Kills: 357

3rd Place: Tiger Lord (Level 6) - Kills: 41

4th Place: Li Laosi (Level 5) - Kills: 33

5th Place: Glasses (Level 5) - Kills: 28

【…】

[Rewards are being distributed based on kill contribution...]

Player "Taichu" receives: 500 experience points, 300 gold coins, and 1 bronze-level equipment box.

Player "Mingying" receives: 300 experience points.

Shen Xi's experience bar surged...

Level: 11 (Experience: 1515/2500)

Before the dungeon ended, he opened the bronze-level equipment box. The light faded, and a simple earring lay quietly in his palm.

【Name: Glowing Earrings】

【Type: Jewelry - Earrings】

[Quality: Bronze]

[Effect: Spirit +3, Perception Range +5%]

[Note: Wearing this will allow you to hear sounds from a greater distance.]

Shen Xi put it on casually.

[Spiritual Energy: 55 + 14 = 69]

After dealing with the reward, he looked up and glanced around.

All forty-one survivors were now looking at him.

Some were excited, some were in awe, some were fearful, and some were fanatical.

And Tiger Lord...

The once arrogant and domineering leader of the Mad Tiger Gang was now cowering at the back of the crowd, trembling all over, not daring to look at Shen Xi even once.

Shen Xi couldn't help but smile.

He strode toward Tiger.

The crowd automatically parted to make way for a passage.

When Tiger saw Shen Xi walking towards him, his legs went weak and he knelt down on the ground.

"Big Brother...no, no, Great God of the Primordial Beginning! I was blind! I deserve to die! I offended you before, please forgive my rudeness and spare my life!"

He kowtowed as he spoke, his forehead hitting the ground with a loud thud.

Shen Xi stood in front of him, looking down at him.

"Tiger Lord".

"No, no! You can just call me Ah Hu!"

Shen Xi smiled.

"I still prefer your previous rebellious self."

Tiger trembled, not understanding what those words meant, and could only continue kowtowing.
