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

"Click".

An extremely faint sound.

Shen Xi's sleeping eyes suddenly opened.

He didn't move, not even his breathing rate changed.

Ten years of post-apocalyptic survival taught him one thing: when you sense danger, never expose yourself immediately.

"Click".

Another sound.

Someone tried to break into his room.

Shen Xi's left hand slowly reached for the rotting corpse's claws beside her pillow, while her right hand gripped the handle of the fire axe.

He didn't get up, but just slightly adjusted his posture so that he could spring up as quickly as possible.

A hushed conversation could be heard outside the door:

"This is 444? Damn, even the house numbers are so festive."

"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and pry it open. Tai Chu lives in this room; I saw him go in."

Are you sure?

"I'm sure! He killed so many rotting corpses last night, he must have some good stuff on him! Let's take advantage of him while he's asleep..."

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

As expected, they came for him.

"Alright, it's open!"

With a "click," the sound of the door lock being pried open was clearly heard.

The door was gently pushed open a crack.

Someone poked their head in and looked around.

"I see him! He's asleep!"

The person outside lowered their voice, but couldn't suppress their excitement.

"superior!"

The door was pushed open completely.

Three figures filed in.

The leader was a bald man holding a steel pipe; behind him were two tall, thin men, one carrying a fruit knife and the other carrying a stool leg.

What they didn't notice was...

The person who was "asleep" in the bed had already woken up.

three meters.

Two meters.

one meter.

The bald man raised the steel pipe, aiming it at Shen Xi's head, ready to smash it down...

next second.

Those eyes snapped open instantly.

Shen Xi's body sprang up from the bed like a spring! The rotting corpse's claws tore through the air, precisely seizing the bald man's wrist as he gripped the steel pipe!

"Snap!"

The sound of bones cracking was particularly jarring in the room.

"Ah...!" The bald man's scream was abruptly cut off by Shen Xi's second strike.

The fire axe was swung horizontally, and the back of the axe slammed into his temple.

"Bang!"

The bald man's body slumped to the ground, and he was no longer breathing; he was clearly dead.

The other two were completely caught off guard.

They only saw a dark shadow suddenly appear, and then the bald man fell down.

"Damn it!" the skinny guy with the fruit knife screamed, stabbing wildly with the knife.

Shen Xi turned to the side, the tip of the knife grazing his clothes.

The next second, the rotting corpse's claws pierced straight up from below, penetrating the skinny man's chin!

"puff!"

Sharp claws pierced through the lower jaw, penetrated the tongue, and emerged from the mouth with their black tips.

The skinny man's eyes widened, and he made a gurgling sound in his throat, but he couldn't utter a single word.

Shen Xi withdrew her claw.

The skinny man's body collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Finally, the guy who was holding the stool leg realized what was happening and turned to run away!

"Help! Help..."

The moment he uttered the shout, he felt a tightness on the back of his neck.

Shen Xi's rotting corpse claws gripped his neck, lifting him into the air and slamming him against the wall!

"Bang!"

The wall cracked, and the man's back slammed into it, spitting out blood.

Shen Xi pressed the axe blade against his throat and coldly asked:

"Who sent you?"

The man trembled, urine trickling down his trousers: "It's...it's Brother Dao from 409! He said you have something good on you, and he wanted us to take a look...Brother, spare me! Spare me!"

"Brother Dao from 409?"

Shen Xi raised an eyebrow slightly.

409?

In my previous life, there was indeed a thug living in room 409 who specialized in robbing other players during the newbie phase. He was eventually taken down by several survivors.

Unexpectedly, in this life, he actually set his sights on me.

"He said...that since you killed so many corpses, you must have supplies and equipment on you..." The man was so frightened he was incoherent. "He told us to steal them and give them to him, and he'd guarantee we'd live for five days..."

"Will you survive for five days?"

Shen Xi smiled.

It's hard to say whether he himself can survive for five days!

"Then let him vouch for you."

The axe blade slashed across.

Blood spurted out.

Three corpses were piled on the floor of room 444, and the smell of blood wafted out.

Shen Xi flicked the blood off the axe blade and threw the three corpses into the stairwell.

He then opened the regional channel, filmed the miserable state of the three people, and sent a message:

[Regional Channel - Corpse Dormitory Building]

"Brother Dao from 409, this is Tai Chu. Your person is with me. If you want to go back, come and get it yourself."

silence.

After a brief silence, the channel exploded.

"Holy crap! The Primordial Lord has finally spoken!"

"Who is Brother Dao?"

"409! I've heard of them, they specialize in kidnapping people!"

"Is Tai Chu going to start a fight?"

"Brother Dao, come out and greet our customers!"

"Where's Dao Ge? Did he chicken out?"

"Hey, 409, where's your Brother Dao?"

......

Room 409.

A bald man with a face full of scars was sitting on the bed eating compressed biscuits. When he saw the message in the channel, his face turned gloomy and ugly.

Sitting next to him was a similarly fierce-looking man with a buzz cut, who was his younger brother.

"Brother, they've been taken down," the crew-cut man said through gritted teeth.

Dao Ge chewed the biscuit fiercely, his eyes sinister: "I know."

"What do we do then? That Primordial One is only Level 3..."

"So what if he's level 3?" Brother Dao sneered, putting down the compressed biscuits. "No matter how good he is, he's still just one person. How many of us are there?"

He stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the gray sky outside: "Call everyone you can on this floor. Tell them that they either hand over their equipment and supplies, or they can forget about leaving this building alive."

The man with the buzz cut hesitated, "But those people might not listen to us..."

"They won't listen?" Brother Dao pulled a rusty machete from under the bed, its cold light gleaming. "Then let them see the consequences of not listening to us."

......

Shen Xi waited for a while.

Finally, there was a response on the regional channel.

Dao Ge: Tai Chu, right? You owe an explanation to the person who killed me.

Taichu: What instructions?

Brother Dao: Hand over all your equipment. And your supplies, split it in half. That'll be the end of it.

Taichu: What else?

Brother Dao: Otherwise you won't be able to leave this building.

Shen Xi stared at the screen, unable to suppress a laugh.

Can't get out of this building?

In his previous life, over the past ten years, countless powerful figures wanted him dead, but who was the one who ultimately died?

He typed a line:

Taichu: I'm in 444, waiting for you.

Then turn off the channel and stop looking at any messages.

He placed the rotting corpse claws and fire axe within easy reach, and then began organizing the storage space.

Bottled water, compressed biscuits, bread, beef jerky...

Supplies are plentiful.

It has two skills: Triple Strike and Whirlwind Slash.

The equipment consists of two items: a fire axe and a corpse claw.

Level: 3.

属性：力量22、精神18、敏捷20、体质17，还有20点自由属性没加。

Shen Xi looked at the 20 points of freedom attribute and pondered for a moment.

Based on past experience, the career path is determined by the attribute ratio when changing jobs.

Strength-based professions require high strength, agility-based professions require high agility, mage-type professions require high spirit, and there are also some hidden professions with special attribute requirements.

He remembered a hidden profession called "Blood Butcher," which required both high strength and physique.

There is also a "Shadow Assassin" who requires high agility and spirit.

My current attributes are relatively balanced, so it's hard to tell where I'm headed for this role yet.

"Let's keep it for now."

Shen Xi turned off the control panel and looked down at the doorway.

In no time at all.

Shen Xi then heard the sound of hurried footsteps coming from outside the door.

A lot of people.

He picked up the fire axe, put on the rotting corpse claws, and slowly stood up.

The door was wide open.

Brother Dao stood at the door, followed by seven or eight people, each carrying various weapons: steel pipes, machetes, fruit knives, bench legs...

"Tai Chu." Brother Dao stared at Shen Xi, his eyes cold. "I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it."

Shen Xi didn't say anything.

He simply carried the axe and walked step by step toward the door.

Dao Ge felt a little uneasy under his gaze.

What kind of look was that?

Calm and indifferent, as if looking at a group of dead people.

"Go!" Brother Dao waved his hand. "Take him down! Split the equipment and supplies evenly!"

The people behind hesitated for a moment, but still decided to swarm forward.

Shen Xi also moved.

Whirlwind Slash!

His body spun like a top, and the fire axe slashed through the air in a deadly arc!

"Pfft pfft pfft!"

Blood and flesh flying everywhere!

The three men at the front didn't even have time to scream before their chests, necks, and heads were ripped open by the axe blade!

Blood spurted out!

The moment Shen Xi stopped spinning, the three corpses collapsed to the ground with a thud.

The remaining four people stopped in their tracks in horror, staring at the blood-soaked man before them as if they were seeing a demon crawling out of hell.

"Who else?"

Shen Xi's voice was calm, but it sounded terrifying to the others.

No one dared to make a move.

Dao Ge's face was deathly pale, and his hand holding the machete was trembling.

one move.

It only took one move.

Three lives gone.

What kind of monster is this?

"Retreat! Retreat now!" Brother Dao shouted hoarsely, turning and running away.

He was so terrified by Shen Xi that he had completely lost his earlier ambition.

Shen Xi did not chase after her.

He just stood there, watching those people tumble and crawl away down the corridor.

Then he looked down at the three corpses on the ground.

Kill 3 level 0 human units, experience points +15

[Congratulations to player "Taichu" for reaching level 4! All attributes increased! +5 free attribute points!]

Shen Xi looked up in the direction of 409.

Brother Dao.

Since you want to play, I'll play with you to the very end.

The corridor was deathly silent.

No one dared to come out and observe the situation.

Carrying an axe, Shen Xi walked step by step toward 409, stepping over the bloodstains on the ground.

Behind them, the corpses still lay across the doorway of room 444, blood slowly trickling down the cracks in the floorboards.

That scene has been etched into the minds of every participant.

The man named Taichu spun around in the crowd, his axe blade tearing through flesh and blood, and three lives were instantly vaporized.

This is not human.

This is a monster.

Shen Xi stopped at the door of room 409.

The door was tightly shut.

Rapid breathing and curses could be heard coming from inside.
