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

The space on the fourth floor was much larger than Shen Xi had expected.

He walked along the wide passageway, his gaze sweeping over the clearly defined functional areas on both sides. The residential area consisted of rows of neat stone houses; the doors and windows were simple but at least provided shelter from the wind and rain, even though there was hardly any wind or rain here.

The storage area was piled high with all sorts of supplies: food, medicine, weapons, and ammunition, stacked in crates, enough to feed hundreds of people for several years. The training area contained various simple equipment: wooden dummies, stone weights, sandbags, and a few wooden swords for practice scattered on the ground.

"The Gu family really wants to build an independent kingdom here."

Shen Xi continued forward.

After passing the training area, a wide plaza came into view. In the center of the plaza stood a tall stone pillar, its shaft covered with densely packed runes that shimmered faintly in the moonlight, exuding an ancient aura. Around the plaza were rows of neat stone houses, their doors and windows tightly shut, and not a soul in sight.

Shen Xi stopped in her tracks, and her Eye of Truth instantly activated.

Golden light swirled in his pupils, his gaze piercing through the walls of those stone houses. Empty, empty, and still empty.

"You run pretty fast."

Shen Xi withdrew her gaze and was about to continue forward when she suddenly heard a series of hurried footsteps coming from the depths of the passage ahead.

More than one person.

A lot of people.

Moreover, they are moving in his direction.

The footsteps grew closer.

Several figures quickly emerged from around the corner of the passage ahead.

The leader was an elderly man in his early seventies, with gray hair, a thin face, and wearing a wrinkled black long gown.

Gu Tianxin.

The head of one of Kyoto's four great families, a man whose every move before the apocalypse shook the entire city. Three days ago, he was the high and mighty head of the Gu family, wielding immense power and commanding a large army. Now, he was like a stray dog, fleeing in panic with his remaining troops through an underground base.

Two elite disciples in black combat uniforms flanked Gu Tianxin, tightly protecting her in the center. These four individuals were well-equipped, at least level 15, and their weapons gleamed with a chilling light. Their eyes were wary, and their movements cautious; they were clearly far superior to the cannon fodder in front of them.

Behind him followed dozens of Gu family disciples. Their equipment varied; some wore standard armor, some wore civilian clothes, some carried long swords, and some carried magic staffs.

"Is the news reliable? Is it really Tai Chu who has arrived?" The elite soldier walking to Gu Tianxin's left asked in a low voice, his voice filled with barely suppressed tension.

"Reliable." The man on the right nodded, his expression grave. "He's already stormed through the third floor. Steward Gu An and those hundred-plus elite soldiers are all dead. Not a single one escaped."

"How could it be so fast?" The man on the left stared wide-eyed in disbelief. "With Steward Gu An overseeing the third floor, and so many brothers around, even if Tai Chu is strong, it's impossible for him to be able to..."

"Nothing is impossible," the person on the right interrupted him. "That guy is number one on the China server rankings. Do you think he's just an ordinary player?"

The one on the left opened its mouth as if to say something, but ultimately closed it.

Gu Tianxin listened to the conversation between the two elites without any expression on his face. But his pace was noticeably faster than before.

"We must move as soon as possible." A middle-aged man behind us spoke, his voice full of anxiety. "Tai Chu is colluding with the military and launching a full-scale attack on my Gu family's underground palace. The disciples on the first few floors can no longer hold them off. At this rate, they will reach the fourth floor in no time."

"But we have no way out," another voice rang out. "The secret passage to the fourth level is still under construction; it won't be finished for at least three more days. Going out now is suicide!"

"Then let's hide! The fourth floor is so big, let's find a secluded place to hide for a few days, and wait until Tai Chu leaves!"

"Hide? You can hide for a while, but can you hide forever? Since Taichu could find this place, he must have a way to find us!"

"Then what do you suggest we do?!"

"I……"

Arguments rose and fell, dozens of people talking at once, creating complete chaos.

Gu Tianxin remained silent. He simply strode ahead, ignoring the arguing behind him.

Then, he stopped.

Because a figure appeared at the corner of the passage ahead.

Gu Tianxin recognized the person.

He had seen this figure through the screen in the audience seats of the Kyoto Championship. Tai Chu. The Tai Chu who killed his son and grandson. The Tai Chu who publicly cursed him in the regional announcement.

At that moment, the real person stood right in front of him.

Gu Tianxin's breath hitched for a moment.

The sense of oppression was ten thousand times stronger than what he felt on the screen.

He instinctively took a step back.

The dozens of people behind him also saw the silver-gray figure at the same time.

The argument stopped abruptly.

"The very beginning..." someone murmured, their voice trembling.

"What is he doing here?!" another voice cried out shrilly. "Weren't Steward Gu An and so many brothers blocking the way on the third floor?! How could he have gotten here so quickly...?!"

Shen Xi stopped and glanced at the dozens of people before finally settling on Gu Tianxin, who was being protected in the middle.

"Gu Tianxin," Shen Xi said softly, "I've found you."

Gu Tianxin's face was ashen, and her lips trembled.

Shen Xi looked at him, her eyes full of contempt.

That old bastard used to be so arrogant, but now he can't even speak.

"What, don't you recognize me?" Shen Xi stepped forward.

Gu Tianxin subconsciously stepped back, and the four elite disciples nervously pointed their weapons at Shen Xi.

"You...how could you..." Gu Tianxin's voice was hoarse and intermittent.

Shen Xi interrupted him: "How could you possibly come here? Your people are just too useless."

Shen Xi, too lazy to waste any more words, flipped his left hand, and the Primordial Bead appeared in his palm. The jet-black bead, the size of a longan, floated above his palm, its interior swirling with chaos, and purple arcs of electricity leaping across its surface.

Lightning Chain, activate!

Thick bolts of purple lightning shot out from the Primordial Bead, exploding through the passage like a purple venomous snake. With 180% spell damage plus the 50% true damage from Chaos classes, and the extra lethality of lightning against humans, the power of this lightning chain far exceeded the limits of what these people could withstand.

The five elite disciples at the forefront didn't even have time to react before their bodies convulsed violently in the lightning. Their eyes widened, their mouths gaped open, and only strange "hoarse" sounds could be heard from their throats. Smoke billowed from their seven orifices, and their skin was instantly charred black by the electricity, then cracked and peeled off in the high temperature.

In an instant, five charred corpses collapsed to the ground.

The air was filled with a pungent, burnt smell.

The remaining dozens of people were completely dumbfounded.

They stared blankly at the five still-smoking corpses on the ground, their minds completely blank.

Five people. Five elite disciples, all above level 15, were killed in a single exchange. They couldn't even withstand a single move.

"Run...run!!!"

"Kill him! If we don't kill him, we'll all die!" a burly man with a face full of scars roared, pulling out a dark gold scroll from his pocket and tearing it open violently.

A blinding golden light exploded from the scroll, transforming into a massive golden warhammer that descended from the sky, smashing down towards Shen Xi's head. This was a gold-grade, one-time-use skill item, its power equivalent to a full-force strike from a level 20 warrior.

Another tall, thin man pulled a fist-sized crystal ball from his pocket and slammed it to the ground. The instant the crystal ball shattered, an icy blue halo spread from the ground, leaving a thick layer of frost wherever it passed. A silver-level control item, capable of freezing all enemies within a 20-meter radius for 3 seconds.

Three more people simultaneously pulled out Molotov cocktails and threw them at Shen Xi. The flames illuminated the entire passage, the blinding white light making it impossible to open one's eyes, and acrid smoke filled the air.

Seeing this, the others also pulled out their most treasured items. Some tore open skill scrolls, some activated one-time magic arrays, and some swallowed temporary enhancement pills. Lights of various colors flashed wildly in the passage, and fireballs, ice spikes, lightning, and wind blades rained down on Shen Xi.

Dozens of people, dozens of disposable items, and dozens of skills were all used to attack the same person at the same time.

The terrifying power caused the entire passage to tremble.

Protected by his elite disciples, Gu Tianxin retreated frantically. He glanced back at the overwhelming attack and felt a little calmer.

"So many attacks, even the Primordial One couldn't possibly..." He hadn't finished his muttering to himself.

In the center of that overwhelming attack, the silver-gray figure moved.

Shen Xi's eyes showed no sign of panic. The Primordial Bead in his left hand lit up, and a lightning barrier condensed in front of him. Purple arcs of electricity formed a circular lightning wall, blocking all the incoming fireballs, ice spikes, and lightning.

At the same time, the skills on the Storm Belt are instantly activated.

Eye of the Storm, activate!

A pale blue light burst forth from Shen Xi's waist, forming a visible shield around his body. For 3 seconds, he was immune to all control effects. Frost, dizziness, immobilization, fear… all the negative effects that tried to control him were repelled the moment they touched this shield.

Immediately afterwards, the whirlwind effect of the Storm Boots was activated.

Storm, unleash!

Movement speed increased by 100% for 3 seconds. Shen Xi's figure instantly transformed into a silver-gray streak of light, so fast that even afterimages were invisible. His speed was so great that the overwhelming attacks could not catch up with him at all.

Finally, the Stormcloak's built-in skill is activated.

Death Storm, activate!

Shen Xi darted swiftly through the passage, unleashing five consecutive strikes on all enemies within a 10-meter radius. Each strike dealt 80% of her attack power, and she was immune to control effects during the duration.

He swept through the crowd like a silver-gray whirlwind. Each swing of the Pangu Axe was accompanied by spurts of black blood and flying heads. The Gu family disciples didn't even see him clearly before their throats were slit.

He weaved through the crowd at incredible speed, each strike taking at least two or three lives.

He weaved through the crowd at incredible speed, each strike taking at least two or three lives.

In just a few seconds, all those dozens of people were wiped out.

Corpses littered the entire passageway, and streams of black blood meandered through the cracks in the stone slabs. The air was thick with an overwhelming, nauseating stench of blood and burning.

Shen Xi stopped spinning and stood in the center of the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood. The automatic cleaning function of the Kyoto Rhythm uniform was running at full speed, and the black blood on the silver-gray uniform was decomposing and disappearing at a visible rate.

He raised his head and looked ahead.

There was only one person left there.

Gu Tianxin.

The head of the Gu family's century-old legacy stood there alone, trembling, his face ashen. The four elite disciples around him lay dead in pools of blood, not even having had a chance to scream.

He stood there, watching the silver-gray figure emerge from the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood, his legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground.

"You...you stay away..." Gu Tianxin screamed hoarsely, as if in a dream. He tried desperately to crawl backward, but his legs were too weak to stand up. Those eyes that once looked down on the world were now filled with fear.

Shen Xi walked up to him and looked down at him.

"Gu Tianxin." Shen Xi's voice was calm, yet carried a chilling killing intent. "Do you know how many people you've killed?"

Gu Tianxin's lips trembled, unable to utter a single word. His pupils were unfocused, and his face was ashen.

Eye of Truth, Illusionary Eye, activate!

Shen Xi's eyes instantly turned pale gold, and two golden beams shot out from his pupils, piercing straight into Gu Tianxin's eyes. Gu Tianxin's body stiffened abruptly, his gaze shifting from fear to blankness, and from blankness to emptiness. His consciousness had been pulled into the world constructed by Shen Xi's illusion.

There, he saw countless people he had killed. Soldiers who had perished in the zombie horde, players betrayed by the Gu family, pitiful women used as breeding tools in the breeding base... Twisted faces and unseeing eyes surrounded him, staring at him.

"No...no..." Gu Tianxin's voice began to tremble, "It wasn't me...it wasn't my fault..."

His body began to convulse violently, white foam oozed from the corners of his mouth, and his pupils became increasingly dilated. His mind was crumbling.

"Tai Chu...you don't know...you have no idea...the Gu family...is doing this for..."

"Mr. Shen... Shen Hao... will... will avenge us..."

The moment the words left her lips, Gu Tianxin's body froze completely.

Those empty eyes were wide open, their mouths were agape, and their expressions were frozen in extreme fear.

he died.

His consciousness was directly destroyed by the mental attack from the Illusionary Eye.

Shen Xi withdrew her gaze, and the golden light in her eyes slowly dissipated.

His brow furrowed slightly.

"Shen Hao?"

Who is that?

Shen Xi had never heard of the name Gu Tianxin mentioned before her death. In the ten-year apocalypse of his previous life, he remembered the names of all the powerful figures, but he had never seen the name "Shen Hao" on any ranking list. He couldn't find this person on any of the level, reputation, or equipment ranking lists in the post-apocalyptic survival game.

In just a few seconds, all those dozens of people were wiped out.

He couldn't find this person on any of the level, reputation, or equipment ranking lists in the post-apocalyptic survival game.

He weaved through the crowd at incredible speed, each strike taking at least two or three lives.

In just a few seconds, all those dozens of people were wiped out.

Corpses littered the entire passageway, and streams of black blood meandered through the cracks in the stone slabs. The air was thick with an overwhelming, nauseating stench of blood and burning.

Shen Xi stopped spinning and stood in the center of the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood. The automatic cleaning function of the Kyoto Rhythm uniform was running at full speed, and the black blood on the silver-gray uniform was decomposing and disappearing at a visible rate.

He raised his head and looked ahead.

There was only one person left there.

Gu Tianxin.

The head of the Gu family's century-old legacy stood there alone, trembling, his face ashen. The four elite disciples around him lay dead in pools of blood, not even having had a chance to scream.

He stood there, watching the silver-gray figure emerge from the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood, his legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground.

"You...you stay away..." Gu Tianxin screamed hoarsely, as if in a dream. He tried desperately to crawl backward, but his legs were too weak to stand up. Those eyes that once looked down on the world were now filled with fear.

Shen Xi walked up to him and looked down at him.

"Gu Tianxin." Shen Xi's voice was calm, yet carried a chilling killing intent. "Do you know how many people you've killed?"

Gu Tianxin's lips trembled, unable to utter a single word. His pupils were unfocused, and his face was ashen.

Eye of Truth, Illusionary Eye, activate!

Shen Xi's eyes instantly turned pale gold, and two golden beams shot out from his pupils, piercing straight into Gu Tianxin's eyes. Gu Tianxin's body stiffened abruptly, his gaze shifting from fear to blankness, and from blankness to emptiness. His consciousness had been pulled into the world constructed by Shen Xi's illusion.

There, he saw countless people he had killed. Soldiers who had perished in the zombie horde, players betrayed by the Gu family, pitiful women used as breeding tools in the breeding base... Twisted faces and unseeing eyes surrounded him, staring at him.

"No...no..." Gu Tianxin's voice began to tremble, "It wasn't me...it wasn't my fault..."

His body began to convulse violently, white foam oozed from the corners of his mouth, and his pupils became increasingly dilated. His mind was crumbling.

"Tai Chu...you don't know...you have no idea...the Gu family...is doing this for..."

"Mr. Shen... Shen Hao... will... will avenge us..."

The moment the words left her lips, Gu Tianxin's body froze completely.

Those empty eyes were wide open, their mouths were agape, and their expressions were frozen in extreme fear.

he died.

His consciousness was directly destroyed by the mental attack from the Illusionary Eye.

Shen Xi withdrew her gaze, and the golden light in her eyes slowly dissipated.

His brow furrowed slightly.

"Shen Hao?"

Who is that?
