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

9: 00.

Lin Chen and his group arrived at the gate of Guangzhou Wildlife Park on time.

Staff Officer Chen and the military personnel were already waiting there.

As soon as Lin Chen got out of the car, Staff Officer Chen stepped forward and greeted him, "Commander Lin."

Lin Chen nodded slightly: "Chief of Staff Chen."

Without delay, the two quickly finalized their tactics: the military would be responsible for the outer perimeter blockade, while the attack inside the park would be led by the thirty elite teams brought by Lin Chen.

Each team must have at least fifty members, with no fewer than three S-rank experts in charge.

The military, led by He Jun and Song Jiangtao, managed to organize two teams to enter the area.

"I will explore the area on my own," Lin Chen said. "The terrain in the park is complex. I'll get a feel for the interior first, and you can proceed steadily."

Staff Officer Chen asked with some concern, "Should I have He Jun come in with you?"

Lin Chen replied confidently and domineeringly, "No need, this place poses no threat to me!"

Seeing that he had made up his mind, Staff Officer Chen said no more: "Then be careful in everything you do."

"clear."

The team set off immediately, while Lin Chen entered the park alone.

The deeper he went into the park, the more dangerous it seemed.

After awakening, the instinctive hunting instincts of many animals are activated and strengthened—a crouching cheetah, a Bengal tiger chasing its prey.

Another black bear had just smashed the head of a zombie beast, pried out its crystal core, and stuffed it directly into its mouth...

Lin Chen walked slowly through the snow, his gaze calmly sweeping over everything.

The gaps between the roadsides, the shadows of the dead trees, beneath the thick layer of snow...

Everywhere, cold gazes lurked, and though there were no chaotic roars, it was more suffocating than any battlefield.

But they all firmly guarded their own areas!

"This is not an ordinary gathering place for strange beasts at all, but more like a deliberately designated hunting ground."

These mutated beasts seemed to be raising zombie beasts in captivity.

The lowest-ranking beasts along the way were all second-tier, with more than 30% reaching the third tier.

The strange beasts ran ahead, while the zombie beasts relentlessly pursued them from behind.

Once separated from its prey, it will be hunted and have its core extracted by mutated beasts.

Moreover, they only kill second and third-tier zombie beasts, leaving all first-tier ones untouched!

"Was this like being flown in a kite?" Lin Chen muttered to himself. "Have these mutated beasts become this intelligent?!"

"No wonder I rarely heard of these strange beasts causing trouble in my previous life."

"It's probably not just because of the military's cleanup efforts, but because the mutated beasts here are already consciously taming zombie beasts!"

Lin Chen felt a chill in his heart. The combat power of the mutated beasts hidden in any corner here was enough to tear apart an ordinary team of survivors.

Without an A-level or S-level expert to oversee the situation, no matter how many people enter, they will be silently swallowed up without even having time to cry for help.

"Mutant beasts hunt zombie beasts to steal their cores... A complete food chain has been formed here, and the deeper you go, the stronger the mutated beasts become."

"Li—" A high-pitched shriek rang out!

Above the dilapidated roadway, a third-tier mutated golden eagle suddenly swooped down.

With its iron claws, it tore open the skull of the zombie antelope, picked up the animal core, flapped its wings, and flew up to a high place to peck at it.

"They are consciously devouring and becoming stronger. If this continues, the entire zoo will eventually become uncontrollable."

"No wonder the military is clearing this place out; they seem to be afraid of these zombies. After they finish eating the zombie beasts, they'll launch a massive attack."

Lin Chen arrived at a bamboo forest. At the edge of the forest, a large, mutated wild boar used its tusk to knock away a zombie macaque.

After crushing the skull with a hoof and swallowing the rolling beast core, the muscles around his body bulged slightly, and his aura became even stronger.

Hordes of zombie beasts dared only growl from afar, not daring to fight. The law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak and one grows stronger by consuming cores, became the only rule here.

Lin Chen paused slightly, his gaze darkening.

"Such a strict order could not have formed naturally. There must be a being in this park that is above all the beasts and controls everything."

The closer you get to the center of the bamboo forest, the fainter the roars of the beasts become, until they disappear completely.

Lin Chen looked up, a hint of understanding flashing in his eyes.

"It seems the true master of this zoo is just ahead."

A tranquil bamboo forest comes into view.

The next second, Lin Chen's gaze sharpened—

In the center of the bamboo forest, a mutated giant panda with a large, clumsy build and distinct black and white fur is perched.

His aura was calm and composed, and his imposing presence was restrained.

"Judging by the intensity of this aura, it must be the legendary fourth-tier beast from my past life!"

Lin Chen's heart stirred slightly, and he felt a surge of affection. He subconsciously slowed his breathing and quietly approached.

But the giant panda was unusually alert and suddenly raised its head.

The adorable panda eyes stared at Lin Chen.

The arrogance of a fourth-tier beast cannot be violated. With a low growl, it stomped its hind legs and transformed into a black and white afterimage, rushing straight at Lin Chen!

The air itself seemed to be torn apart with a soft sound!

Lin Chen's eyes lit up slightly: "Is this an agility-type ability?"

The next moment, an SS-level spacetime field suddenly unfolded!

The power of the fifth level instantly enveloped the entire bamboo forest, forcibly distorting and slowing down the flow of time.

The giant panda's attack suddenly froze, its speed dropping drastically, as if it were stuck in a quagmire.

The giant panda's eyes even revealed a human-like look of astonishment.

Lin Chen didn't stop walking. His S-class body was extraordinary. He poured power into his right arm and casually raised his hand.

"boom--"

The loud noise shook the bamboo forest violently.

The giant panda was thrown back several meters by the shock, and after landing, it took several steps back, its paws feeling slightly numb.

It stared at Lin Chen in disbelief.

The human in front of me is only at the fourth level, yet his power is terrifyingly absurd.

Before it could react, Lin Chen activated his spatial teleportation.

The figure vanished instantly, reappearing beside the panda.

Lin Chen said gently but firmly, "Submit, and I will spare your life."

The giant panda understood and roared in fury.

It's a bear, not a cat!

Moreover, as the king of the park, it will never accept submission!

Speed ​​exploded again, afterimages flashed, claw winds were fierce, and every move was deadly.

No matter how fast it is, it will be suppressed by the spacetime field; no matter how strong it is, it cannot defeat Lin Chen's power; any surprise attack will be easily avoided by space travel.

Lin Chen handled the entire process with ease.

Although he only possesses a fourth-tier ability, his true combat strength has already surpassed that of a sixth-tier ability thanks to his fifth-tier spacetime field and triple S-level fourth-tier abilities!

Throughout the entire battle, it completely dominated the fourth-tier giant panda, a true case of dimensional reduction attack!

In less than a few dozen rounds, the giant panda's breathing became disordered, and it kept roaring, finally feeling fear.

We can't beat them.

We simply can't beat them.

The humans before it were the most terrifying beings it had ever encountered in its life.

"Roar—" The giant panda let out a huge roar.

A large number of Tier 3 mutated beasts began to appear around him, and they surrounded Lin Chen as soon as they arrived.

"As expected, all the strange beasts here have submitted to this fourth-tier giant panda."

He was not in a hurry to kill these third-tier mutated beasts.

He needed to completely subdue this giant panda, otherwise he would have killed all these mutated beasts long ago.

In a short period of time, hundreds of mutated beasts gathered here.

"roar-"

The giant panda roared again, and more than a hundred third-tier mutated beasts attacked Lin Chen together.

Lin Chen took out his Tang sword, looking completely calm and collected. Before long, the corpses of mutated beasts appeared on the ground!

However, the giant panda took advantage of Lin Chen's battle with the other mutated beasts—

It actually ran away! It pushed its speed to the limit, its round body turning into a black shadow, and it ran westward without looking back!

Lin Chen slashed and killed a mutated macaque with one stroke, and then all he saw was the panda's round, fat buttocks disappearing into the forest. His eyes twitched involuntarily.

"They...they ran away?"

"Damn it, you're a bear! How can you just run away like that?!"
