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

The warehouse door closed slowly behind us, making a dull metallic scraping sound.

Zhao Hu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and staggered ahead to lead the way. His legs were still weak; the slaps he had just received were too hard, and his face was swollen like a pig's head. But he didn't even dare to rub it, afraid that the killing god behind him would think he was too slow.

"Great...Great God, this way, this way." His voice was still trembling as he pointed towards the second warehouse in the third row on the east side.

Shen Xi didn't say anything, but followed behind at a leisurely pace.

Mingying walked at the back, her two-meter-tall frame resembling a moving iron tower. Her menacing aura caused any Gu family members they encountered along the way to instinctively dodge to either side, barely daring to breathe.

The second warehouse in the third row on the east side is a large steel-structured building, covering an area of ​​at least a thousand square meters. The exterior walls are made of thick sheet metal, and the main door is a pair of double iron doors. The paint on the doors has peeled off, revealing the rusty iron plates underneath.

Zhao Hu pushed open the two heavy iron doors with difficulty. The hinges made a grating "creak" sound that was particularly clear in the quiet warehouse area.

"Great...Great God, this is it." Zhao Hu stepped aside, lowered his head, and dared not look Shen Xi in the eye.

Shen Xi stepped into the warehouse.

The room was spacious, the floor covered in dust, with several stacks of discarded wooden pallets and rolls of rusty wire piled in the corners. A damp, musty smell permeated the air, mixed with the rusty odor, but it wasn't unpleasant. The dome was very high, at least seven or eight meters, with several fluorescent light tubes hanging in mid-air, emitting a dim, yellowish glow.

The space is large enough to accommodate thousands of people without any problem.

Shen Xi nodded in satisfaction, then turned to Zhao Hu: "Go, gather everyone in the logistics center here. Remember, everyone."

Zhao Hu was taken aback for a moment, but quickly recovered and nodded frantically, "Yes, yes, yes! I'll go right away! I'll go right away!"

He turned and ran, staggering out of the warehouse, yelling at the top of his lungs, "Are you all deaf?! Didn't you hear what the Great One said?! Everyone! Everyone, assemble at Warehouse East Three! Hurry! Hurry!"

His voice echoed through the logistics center, carrying an overwhelming sense of fear.

Those Gu family members who had been standing there bewildered finally reacted. Some began to move, while others hesitated, but seeing Zhao Hu's disheveled appearance and then looking at the silver-gray figure standing at the warehouse entrance, all their hesitation vanished in an instant.

No one dared to disobey.

Because they knew that the price of disobedience was death.

The crowd began to converge on the East Third Warehouse.

The first group to arrive were those who were already in the yard. A dozen or so members of the Gu family, dressed in black uniforms, walked quickly into the warehouse with their heads down, stood in a corner, and didn't dare to breathe.

The second group consisted of those who were called out of the dormitory building. Some people were still sleeping when they were startled awake by the urgent knocking. They ran out in a daze, saw the silver-gray figure, and instantly became wide awake, their faces turning pale as they shrank back into the warehouse.

The third batch, the fourth batch, the fifth batch...

More and more people.

The logistics center occupies a vast area, but the number of people who actually reside there permanently is far greater than Shen Xi had anticipated. The core members of the Gu family, elite thugs, independent players who rely on the Gu family, plus logistics personnel, errand boys, cooks, cleaners... all in all, there are over a thousand people.

The warehouse quickly filled with people.

Shen Xi stood at the door, her hands behind her back, watching calmly as the people walked into the warehouse one by one.

Alert perception is activated throughout the entire process.

Within a radius of 100 meters, the hostility of every person was clearly revealed in his perception.

After all, the Gu family's horde of zombies attacking the city almost killed everyone.

Shen Xi didn't need to ask; his alertness and perception told him everything.

After the procession of over a thousand people had finished, the last person walked into the warehouse with his head down and stood in a corner. Shen Xi's gaze swept over those thousand faces, but he still sensed no hostility directed at him.

They were all peripheral members. There wasn't a single core member of the Gu family, not Gu Tianxin, not Gu Yunting, not a single high-ranking member of the Gu family that he knew.

Sure enough, that old bastard was prepared. He withdrew everyone, leaving only these peripheral members to maintain appearances. Did he think he could get away with it that way?

Unfortunately, he underestimated Shen Xi's patience.

"Mingying," Shen Xi said.

Mingying stepped forward.

"Stay here and watch." Shen Xi's voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable authority. "Anyone who dares to run away, kill him."

Mingying nodded slightly, walked to the warehouse door, and slammed the Lion Wall onto the ground with a dull thud. The Asura Spear rested diagonally on his shoulder, its deep eyes sweeping over everyone in the warehouse.

That chilling killing intent, as if it were tangible, slammed into everyone's chest.

Thousands of people shrank back in unison, some instinctively took two steps back, and some collapsed to the ground with their legs weak, not daring to make a sound.

so horrible.

Mingying, ranked second on the Huaxia region's leaderboard, is the Shura who pierced Helian Tieshu's throat with a single spear thrust, the God of Slaughter who fought his way through the North Region amidst the zombie horde and then directly confronted a level 19 boss in the core battlefield.

He stood there, like a guardian deity.

Who dares to run?

Running means death.

Shen Xi glanced at Ming Ying, then turned and strode away from the warehouse.

As time passed, evening arrived.

Shen Xi stood atop the three-story warehouse at the top of the logistics center, his silver-gray Kyoto Rhythm uniform fluttering in the night wind. The golden light of his Eye of Truth flowed in his pupils, his gaze piercing through the layers of buildings, taking in the entire Gu Family Village.

He gave a very convincing performance during the day.

He stormed into Gu Family Village with great fanfare, herded over a thousand people into an empty warehouse in front of everyone, made Mingying stand guard at the entrance, and then left triumphantly. This series of moves would surely lead those hiding in the shadows to believe he had left, that this was merely a show of force and humiliation.

But they were wrong.

Shen Xi never does anything meaningless.

The group of people from the daytime.

It's not that they're good at hiding it, but that they genuinely have no hostility.

Therefore, Shen Xi changed her strategy.

He left Mingying to guard the warehouse entrance, while he himself disappeared from everyone's sight.

This wait lasted for most of the day.

Mingying stood at the warehouse entrance, like a statue.

The people in the warehouse dared not move.

It wasn't that they didn't want to run, it was that they dared not. The second-ranked Killing God on the Huaxia region's leaderboard was personally guarding the gate; who would dare to act rashly? Besides, it was nighttime, and the area outside Gu Family Village was teeming with rotting corpses; running out would be suicide. Rather than gambling on that slim chance of survival, it was better to stay put; at least for now, they were safe.

Shen Xi crouched on the edge of the rooftop, his Eye of Truth scanning every corner of the logistics center.

He is waiting.

When those hiding in the shadows can no longer restrain themselves.

That old bastard Gu Tianxin must have planted spies in Gu Family Village, and more than one. Those people won't go into the warehouse with the outer members, because they know that once they go in, they won't get out. They'll hide in the shadows, wait for things to calm down, and then quietly slip away to send the message out.

Shen Xi was betting on this.

His gaze suddenly sharpened.

At the westernmost part of the logistics center, on the roof of an unremarkable bungalow, a shadow was moving.

It wasn't the tree shadows being moved by the wind, but people moving.

The X-ray vision of the Eye of Truth penetrated the walls of the bungalow, allowing Shen Xi to see the building's internal structure. On the surface, it was an ordinary brick and tile house, but the interior held a different secret—a hidden door concealed behind a wardrobe in the corner, leading to a deep, dark tunnel that extended diagonally downwards, leading directly outside Gu Family Village.

Sure enough, there was a secret passage.

Shen Xi's lips curled into a cold smile.

That old bastard Gu Tianxin is a cunning rabbit with three burrows; it's perfectly normal for him to build a secret passage in Gu Family Village. Unfortunately, he didn't expect that Shen Xi possessed the Eye of Seeing Through Everything, capable of seeing through everything, so no secret passage could be hidden.

The moving shadow came from the secret passage.

Two people.

They emerged from the secret passage entrance, one after the other. They were dressed in black night clothes, with hoods on their heads and masks covering their faces, revealing only their eyes. Their movements were swift and silent, clearly those of well-trained scouts.

They crouched down in the shadows outside the bungalow, scanning their surroundings warily.

"Hurry up," the one in front whispered. "Taichu is tracking our location; we can't stay here."

"What do you think he wants from us?" the voice behind asked uneasily. "We haven't offended him."

"I don't know." The one in front shook his head. "Let's send the message back first. The old man is still waiting for our news."

The two stood up, crouched low, and moved quickly along the shadows at the base of the wall.

They were very cautious, taking a route that avoided the line of sight of all the watchtowers, each step taken in the shadows without making a sound. They were clearly very familiar with the terrain of Gujiazhai, having traversed this route countless times.

Unfortunately, they encountered Shen Xi.

His Eye of Truth kept a close watch on them the whole time, and every move they made was clearly visible to him.

Shen Xi did not act immediately.

He was waiting for the two men to leave the warehouse area.

Mingying stood guard at the warehouse entrance, preventing the two men from approaching. So, they took a route around the warehouse, going from the west to the south, then from the south to the east, and finally climbing over the eastern wall. This long detour added at least twenty minutes to their journey.

These two are really good at causing trouble.

The two people were getting closer and closer.

500 meters.

Three hundred meters.

One hundred meters.

Fifty meters.

When the two reached the area below the warehouse where Shen Xi was, Shen Xi moved.

Instead of jumping, he flipped over from the edge of the rooftop. The Storm Boots' air-stepping effect allowed him to leap a second time in mid-air, dissipating most of the impact of the fall, and he landed silently.

They landed right behind the two of them.

The two of them froze simultaneously.

It wasn't that they reacted slowly; it was that Shen Xi was too fast. From the rooftop to landing, it took less than two seconds, and without making a sound. By the time they realized something was wrong behind them, it was too late.

Shen Xi didn't give them time to react.

He reached out with his right hand and gripped the back of the person's neck, tightening his grip with his five fingers.

"Click."

A slight cracking sound.

Before the man could even scream, his body went limp and he collapsed. Shen Xi then delivered a swift chop to the neck, and the other man passed out.
