Apocalypse: The Primordial Pearl Recognizes Its Master, Starting with Infinite Space

Seeing the situation was turning bad, Wang Gang acted decisively, daring not to hesitate for a moment longer: "Damn it! We've kicked a hornet's nest! Retreat! Retreat now!"

In a single encounter, his underlings were either killed, imprisoned, or controlled; it was a complete one-sided crushing defeat!

He finally understood why Zhang Hui had suggested using harassment tactics instead of a direct confrontation; their numbers were simply not enough!

However, he had misunderstood Zhang Hui.

Xiao Ma and Xiao Cheng were also terrified. They scrambled after Wang Gang, fleeing down the street at an even faster pace than when they rushed out, wishing their parents had two more legs.

As Wang Gang ran, his heart bled, filled with lingering fear and disbelief.

"Damn! How can these heiresses be so strong?! That kid Zhang Hui... he wasn't just playing along with that old fox Chang Chengye's caution. Did he already know these women were dangerous? If I had been any slower, I might have been done for today!"

Behind them, the smoke from the Jin Mao Tower gradually dissipated, leaving only the corpses of a few bandits, prisoners tightly bound by vines and "mind-controlled," and bloodstains on the ground that had not yet dried.

Inside the building, the smell of gunpowder and blood had not yet dissipated.

Liu Feifei's face was frosty; since they began their struggle for survival in the apocalypse, they had never suffered such a great loss.

While directing her team to treat the wounded and keep watch on the surroundings, she cast a cold glance toward the direction in which Wang Gang and the others fled in a disheveled state.

The girl in the group with healing abilities quickly approached Liu Feifei and whispered, "Sister Feifei, we injured a total of fifteen sisters, ten with minor injuries and five with serious injuries. Fortunately, the seriously injured have been treated and are now out of danger."

Wu Fang walked over to Fan Xiaoying, whose face was still a little pale, and patted her shoulder hard. Her voice was full of praise and lingering fear: "Xiaoying, you've done a great job again! If it weren't for your warning, which allowed us to be on guard and avoid being exposed in open areas... I don't even want to think about the consequences."

Fan Xiaoying shook her head, her face filled with self-reproach: "Sister Wu, what kind of skill is this... If my perception had been more accurate and I had been able to pinpoint the source of danger sooner, so many sisters wouldn't have been injured."

Although the sudden attack was repelled, it served as a heavy wake-up call, striking hard on everyone's hearts.

Liu Feifei walked up to the three prisoners who had been captured by her mind control.

She coldly asked one of them, "Speak, who are you? Who sent you? Why are you attacking us?"

The prisoner spoke mechanically: "We are from the official sanctuary in Guangzhou... We attacked you to weaken your strength... and also to avenge our boss."

"Revenge?" Liu Feifei frowned. "Who's your boss? What grudge do we have against him?"

"The boss's name is Wang Gang... Your deputy city lord, Li Ya, killed his son, Wang Qiang, at the art university."

"Did Sister Ya kill Wang Gang's son?" Liu Feifei was stunned, having no recollection of this information.

"I know about this!" Wu Fang suddenly spoke up, quickly walked over, and whispered to Liu Feifei the whole story of how Li Ya killed Wang Qiang to save some girls at the art university.

After listening, Liu Feifei's eyes flashed with understanding. She then looked at the prisoner and asked for other details, such as how many people the other side had and what their plans were.

Unfortunately, these few were just low-level henchmen with limited knowledge. They were unaware of the multi-team harassment strategy devised by Wang Gang and Chang Chengye, which was a top-level secret.

Seeing that she couldn't get any more valuable information, a cold glint flashed in Liu Feifei's eyes, and she no longer hesitated.

She coldly uttered the order to the three controlled prisoners: "You, take your own lives."

The three men stared blankly, but without hesitation, they picked up the fallen knife and slashed it at their own necks.

The blade sliced ​​through, blood gushed out, and the intense pain and impending death instantly brought them back to their senses. Extreme fear and disbelief erupted in their eyes, but it was too late, and they collapsed to the ground one after another.

The other prisoners, who were bound and entangled in thorns, were also quickly executed by the other team members.

Wu Fang walked to Liu Feifei's side, her expression grave: "Feifei, this matter is not simple. Wang Gang is clearly here for revenge, but he has the protection of the Guangzhou government behind him."

"We don't seem to know much about this force. We need to report the situation to Sister Ya and Brother Lin immediately."

"Yes, it must be reported." Liu Feifei nodded solemnly, pondering how to organize the information for the report.

Unbeknownst to them, the same attacks, occurring almost simultaneously, struck sixteen other sister teams on similar missions.

Thanks to Lin Chen's Creation Crystal and Life Crystal, each team is equipped with at least one S-level ability user as the core, and all members have ability levels of A-level Tier 2 or above, and are equipped with early warning and healing ability users as standard.

Therefore, although each team faced danger and encountered attacks of varying degrees, resulting in some seriously injured personnel, they miraculously survived without any casualties thanks to their superior strength and equipment.

With missions either forced to be interrupted or completed ahead of schedule, the teams, filled with anger and vigilance, embarked on their return journeys as quickly as possible.

They needed to bring this sudden and malicious attack back to the Mountain and Water Garden as soon as possible and report it to Lin Chen.

When Li Ya and Liu Feifei found Lin Chen in the expanded area of ​​the underground shelter, he was gesturing and discussing with Hua Hua and the others around a newly excavated rock layer.

With their digging skills becoming increasingly refined, Hua Hua and her companions encountered a dense and solid giant rock formation as they descended deeper today.

Lin Chen had a sudden inspiration and decided not to go around it, but to transform it on the spot, planning to turn this rocky space into a fairly large underground swimming pool.

At this moment, he was describing his initial ideas to the renovation workers he had hired, while Hua Hua and the others listened with shining eyes—in this extremely cold post-apocalyptic world where breath turns to ice, having a swimming pool was an unimaginable luxury.

Seeing that Li Ya and her group had returned earlier than usual and that their expressions were unusually solemn, Lin Chen stopped talking and frowned slightly.

Li Ya walked straight to his side and got straight to the point: "Brother Lin, there's an emergency I need to report to you."

Lin Chen nodded, gestured to Hua Hua and the decorators, and then led Li Ya and Liu Feifei to a relatively quiet corner.

Liu Feifei succinctly recounted to Lin Chen the events of the day when they were ambushed by Wang Gang's gang at the Jin Mao Tower, including the casualties and the information she obtained from the prisoners.

Lin Chen listened quietly, his expression growing calmer, his eyes becoming deep and unfathomable, his arms tightly clasped together, his hands unconsciously clenching and unclenching.
