The sight sent a shiver down Bray and the others' spines.
They quickly rushed to the edge of the cliff, knelt down, and peered over the edge.
They saw Shawn, at this moment, lowering his center of gravity along the cliff's slope, turning sideways, and sliding down.
He held his Crescent Blade menacingly, and upon reaching a platform, he used it to leap, transforming into a meteor-like projectile that slammed directly into the Walker horde.
The remaining Walkers around him were thrown back, staggering two or three steps before their decaying bodies stabilized.
But before they could even get a clear look at Shawn, a large blade, following Shawn's spin, cleanly sliced through the necks of the nearby Walkers!
A beautiful full-circle swing, the force of the blade followed by a arc of dark, congealed blood.
When Shawn retracted his blade to his side, he gave it a slight shake, causing all the dark blood to slide off.
Nearly a full circle of headless corpses then fell, as if in delayed realization.
The remaining Walkers after the pipe bomb explosion were nothing to fear for Shawn.
Shawn spent two minutes clearing the nearby Walkers, no longer bothering with the swaying figures slowly approaching from a distance.
Shawn's gaze turned to the orange-yellow body bags scattered everywhere, some even buried under Walker body parts.
These body bags were stained with some Walker blood and covered with Walker body parts, looking as if they had been dug alive from the Walkers' bellies.
Shawn waved his hand at these body bags, and all the loot vanished into thin air, appearing in Shawn's system inventory the next second.
He didn't even bother to check the exact quantity, turning around to climb up the rope that had been thrown down from above.
Once he was firmly back on the cliff edge, Shawn turned again to look into the distance.
He saw that most of the Walkers in the deep pit had been cleared, with only a small number still stubbornly approaching from afar.
On the opposite cliff edge, two or three Walkers kept falling down, clearly having heard the pipe bomb's explosion and being attracted by the loud noise.
However, their numbers weren't worth Shawn's continued time to clear them all.
Shawn met Bray and the others' increasingly reverent gazes: "Let's go."
He had them get back into the fire truck; only two could sit in the front, while eight were squeezed into the back.
The rest either chose to stay in the back compartment or directly lay on the roof of the fire truck.
Honestly speaking.
This wasteland-style modified vehicle, coupled with Zealots who clearly didn't look like good people.
How did it look more and more like villains?
"Forget it." Shawn let them be; he had more important things to do.
Shawn sat in the passenger seat and opened his system inventory, where on the fifth page, the loot bags Shawn had just collected were quietly placed.
The bottom right corner of the loot bag slot was marked with a white number — 27.
"This drop rate..."
Shawn licked his upper teeth, then opened the first loot bag.
As the white drawstring was pulled from the orange-yellow bag, the formerly tight opening suddenly expanded.
There was nothing inside, but two interfaces appeared before Shawn's eyes.
On the left, a large grid of empty slots, with only three items inside.
On the right was Shawn's system inventory, this was the classic interface for scavenging supplies in "seven days to die."
The Search function hadn't been unlocked before, so all items were what you saw was what you got, which meant this was the first time Shawn had seen this interface.
Shawn focused his gaze and took out the items stored inside one by one.
"Glue, brass, 9mm bullets?"
He couldn't say he was particularly surprised; as Shawn had expected, these were just some basic supplies.
However, being able to directly obtain bullets saved Shawn the trouble of finding blueprints to craft them.
Placing the bag aside, Shawn continuously took out and opened loot bags from his system inventory.
Until he opened the last loot bag, Shawn glanced inside and took out the eighth magazine.
After that, there was also a Quality 1 'Stun Baton' and two pieces of somewhat moldy rotten flesh.
Shawn covered his nose and threw the rotten flesh into his backpack, then used all the magazines in one go.

"magazine Issue 2/7 — Breaching Rounds — Can now craft bullets for breaching doors."
...
His gaze quickly swept over this list of messages, and Shawn secretly thought, "Not bad."
magazines were randomly spawned, and the rewards given by apocalypse missions were no different.
Being able to advance Hammering the World, which had been stuck at Lv25 for a long time, was already very satisfying for Shawn.
There was still a long way to go, and Shawn would eventually collect all these magazines one day.
With that, Shawn had finished opening his loot bags.
Aside from the eight magazines, everything else was scattered basic crafting materials, and basic weapons, ammunition, food, and so on.
In short, these resources were very scattered, as if a little bit of every type was included.
Shawn had to clear some slots and give all the food inside to the Zealots to eat before he could finally put it down.
"It seems I have to add points to my inventory; this isn't seven days to die, it's clearly a slot killer."
Shawn reluctantly opened the system, and the first thing that caught his eye was Shawn's personal panel.
