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

Lin Chen ignored these third-tier minions, took a step, activated spatial teleportation, and chased after them at a leisurely pace.

On the way, he also used a walkie-talkie to send a message to Li Ya when he had a spare moment.

When Li Ya heard Lin Chen say, "I'm going to chase giant pandas," she was completely stunned.

"Sister Ya, Brother Lin... went to chase giant pandas?" Jiang Yingyue leaned over, her eyes wide with surprise.

Li Ya shrugged, her expression a mix of helplessness and amusement: "Yes, he said he wanted to keep it as a pet. He also told us that it's the only Tier 4 individual in the zoo, so we can clean it up without worry."

"Really?!" Jiang Yingyue instantly became excited, jumping up and down on the spot. "If Brother Lin can really tame the giant panda, I definitely want to pet it!"

Several little girls gathered around and started chattering amongst themselves.

"A national treasure! I've never touched a real one in my entire life!"

"Yes, before we could only see them on TV or in the zoo from afar, but now we actually have the chance to touch them..."

"We could have taken a group photo...but unfortunately, there's no internet on my phone now."

Li Ya listened to their laughter and commotion, feeling both annoyed and amused.

These people aren't focused on safety, but rather on having fun and taking photos?

But to be honest, she was also looking forward to the scene when Lin Chen brought back the giant panda.

"Alright, alright," she clapped her hands, "get back to work. There'll be plenty of time for you to see when Brother Lin gets back."

The group then calmed down and resumed their hunt for the zombie beasts and mutated beasts.

As for Lin Chen at this moment, he had already caught up with the giant panda.

He was leisurely following not far behind it, looking relaxed and content.

The giant panda ran incredibly fast, its four paws flying, but it couldn't shake off the wretched human behind it.

What enraged it even more was that Lin Chen would suddenly appear beside it, pat its head, and then flash away.

Take a picture.

Take another picture.

Take another picture.

Very insulting!

The giant panda roared repeatedly, its deep growls emanating from its throat. It turned to pounce, but missed its target.

The man had already darted ten meters away and was watching it with a smile.

It can only keep running.

It didn't believe this human had the stamina to keep playing like this.

It can't compete with speed and strength, but it refuses to believe it can't match endurance!

The man and the bear charged into the western part of the city, one after the other.

On the streets of the western part of the city, many survivors who had gone out to search for supplies and hunt zombies were walking in twos and threes.

Then they witnessed a scene they would never forget:

A huge animal with black and white fur is running towards you at an incredible speed from afar.

Not far behind it, a figure appeared and disappeared, each time appearing closer than the last.

"I...am I seeing things?" one survivor rubbed his eyes. "Is someone chasing a giant panda?"

"It seems so." The person next to him swallowed hard. "I saw it too."

"I recognize that panda!" another survivor suddenly exclaimed. "It's the one from the wildlife park! I used to go see it often; it's the most famous one there, named Yuanzai!"

"Its speed..." someone gasped, "It's even faster than Tiger! Tiger is a Tier 3 A-level agility-type ability user, this giant panda must be at least Tier 4, right?"

"Definitely Tier 4." Someone said with certainty. "I've seen Tier 3 speed-type mutant cats, but they're far inferior to this one."

After a brief silence, someone spoke softly:

"Aren't you curious... just how strong is the person chasing it?"

Everyone looked at each other.

"That person should be at least a fourth-tier expert," someone said. "I just don't know how strong his special ability is. I estimate he's no weaker than City Lord Gu Yan."

"No," someone shook their head, their tone filled with admiration, "I think City Lord Gu Yan is even more powerful. His superpower is simply invincible; he's born to be undefeated."

Amidst the murmurs, the man and the bear had already disappeared at the end of the street.

----------

The "Gu Yan" they were talking about was currently lying deep inside a large shopping mall in the west of the city.

It's not an underground parking lot.

It's the basement below the parking lot.

This private space, which he transformed, is warm as spring, a stark contrast to the extreme cold outside.

Four scantily clad beauties were surrounding him, some massaging his legs, others his shoulders.

He rested his head on the chest of a beautiful woman behind him, his eyes slightly narrowed, looking completely at ease.

"Boss."

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in," Gu Yan replied without looking up.

A henchman walked in with his head down, not daring to glance at the four scantily clad, curvaceous beauties.

"Speak, what is it?"

"A brother reported that a suspected fourth-tier mutated giant panda has been spotted being chased into our territory."

Gu Yan suddenly opened his eyes and sat up straight.

"A fourth-tier giant panda?"

His gaze fell on his younger brother's face, a mixture of surprise and excitement in his eyes.

"There are already fourth-tier mutated beasts?"

The younger brother cautiously replied, "It's not certain yet, but its speed far exceeds that of a third-tier mutated cat we killed before."

Gu Yan finally sat up straight and began to ponder, stroking his chin.

He was in his early thirties, of average height and average looks.

Before the blood rain fell, he was just one of the many oxen and horses working 996 hours a day.

When the blood rain fell, he, already stained with blood, thought he was doomed.

Unexpectedly, instead of turning into a zombie, he awakened an S-class shadow-type ability.

They even fought their way from the hellish city center all the way to the western part of the city.

Now, he is the undisputed overlord of the western part of Guangzhou, the true "uncrowned king".

But all of this is not only due to his S-level superpower talent, but also to his current fourth-level superpower level.

He understood all too well the importance of strength in the apocalypse; it was the foundation for his survival and enjoyment.

"Where are they now?" He stood up. "I'll go meet them."

If he obtains a fourth-tier crystal core sooner, he can advance to the fifth tier sooner and maintain his advantage and status.

The younger brother quickly replied, "It's said they went in the direction of xx Square."

Gu Yan nodded and didn't delay any longer.

He abandoned the four beauties, his figure blurred, and he vanished into thin air, disappearing from the spot.

His special ability is "shadowless".

It can transform into a shadowy void, rendering physical attacks virtually ineffective. Stealth assassinations are as easy as entering an empty field, and it leaves no trace when escaping.

Even when facing area-of-effect attacks, he can withstand most of the damage.

The only thing I haven't tried yet is attacks using psychic abilities.

But since the end of the world, he has yet to encounter anyone who can force him to try.
