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

Lin Chen looked down at Gu Yan at his feet: "You ambushed me yesterday, so I'm here to find you today. It's fair."

Gu Yan didn't understand why Lin Chen's speed was so fast, to the point that it was impossible for others to gather their supernatural abilities.

He opened his mouth with difficulty: "Let... go...", seemingly wanting to beg for mercy.

But Lin Chen had no intention of listening to him finish.

The Tang sword fell.

A flash of light, and the blade sliced ​​across his neck.

Gu Yan's eyes were wide open, his face contorted in death.

In his dying moments, only one thought flashed through his mind: Why did I covet that panda's fourth-tier crystal core? Why did I provoke this god of death?

Lin Chen jumped out of the pit, blood still dripping from the tip of his knife.

He scanned the crowd around him.

The five A-level ability users who hadn't made a move stood frozen in place, not daring to breathe. The guards who had just rushed over outside also fell silent.

Then, it's unclear who made the first move.

The first person turned and ran.

The second person followed closely behind.

The third, the fourth, the fifth...

The crowd erupted in chaos.

"Run!"

"Run!"

"This guy is a fucking monster!"

Countless people surged outwards, crowding together, pushing and trampling each other. Screams, curses, and cries mingled and echoed wildly in the underground space.

But the lower-level E-class and F-class ability users on the periphery had no idea what was happening inside.

They only heard someone shouting "Run!" ahead, and instinctively wanted to run too, but they were blocked by the crowd and couldn't move.

The entire B2 level was in complete chaos.

Lin Chen frowned slightly.

He took a deep breath, and his voice, though not loud, boomed like thunder in everyone's ears: "Don't move!"

Nobody listened.

Fear had completely consumed their reason. Only one thought remained in their minds: run, run as far as possible, get as far away from this monster as possible.

Lin Chen's eyes turned cold.

He flashed away.

The next second, he had already crossed the frantically surging crowd and appeared at the entrance/exit of level B2.

Tang swords flashed.

The dozen or so people running at the front didn't even have time to scream before they all collapsed.

Blood splattered, splashing on the walls, the ground, and the faces of those who hadn't yet managed to run over.

Everyone behind them stopped in their tracks.

"I said," Lin Chen's voice came from ahead, unhurried, "Don't move."

No one dared to move again.

At this moment, Yuanzai also strolled out of the basement.

It swaggered over with its toes pointing inward and squatted down next to Lin Chen.

Those who had been blocked earlier watched helplessly as this furry giant walked over, and not one of them dared to breathe loudly.

Lin Chen patted Yuanzai's fluffy head.

"Watch the door. Anyone who dares to run away, kill them!"

Yuanzai blinked his little eyes, nodded, and lazily looked at the dense crowd in front of him.

Nearly 20,000 people were trapped on level B2 by just one person and one bear.

Lin Chen turned around and walked back into the basement.

The five A-level ability users who hadn't had a chance to make a move, including the woman, were all frozen in place, not daring to move.

The big black bear is still embedded in the wall, its fate unknown.

Wei Laohu lay in a pool of blood, already cold.

Snake Brother's body lay slumped in the corner, his eyes wide open.

Their leader, Gu Yan, lay in the pit with a clean cut on his neck, blood still seeping out.

Less than three minutes.

Three A-level and one S-level, all wiped out.

And that blood-stained Tang sword was now in the young man's hands.

They killed several of their strongest members, and the enemy not only had no injuries, but also didn't even seem to be breathing!

No one dared to speak.

No one dared to move.

They didn't even dare to breathe too loudly.

Lin Chen's gaze slowly swept across their faces: "Do you want to die, or do you want to live?"

The basement was eerily quiet.

Everyone looked at each other, and no one dared to speak first.

They knew perfectly well: "Avenge Gu Yan? Don't be ridiculous. The apocalypse has barely begun, less than twenty days have passed. They're gathered here just to stick together for warmth. Who has any loyalty to whom?"

The woman stared at Lin Chen's face, and the blurry fragments of memory in her mind finally pieced themselves together.

Her pupils contracted sharply.

"It's...it's him..." Her heart trembled. "The city lord of Shanshui Garden in the east of the city! The overlord of the east who destroyed Chang Chengye!"

Lin Chen looked at the group of people who were stunned and was speechless.

He grabbed the nearest male superhuman at random.

The man shuddered, his legs shaking like a leaf.

Lin Chen asked, "Now, who here can speak for us?"

The man cautiously raised his hand and pointed at the woman.

"It's...it's Commander Zhang Manqing...she's Gu Cheng...Gu Yan's lover, and also the second-in-command of the shelter."

Lin Chen looked in the direction he was pointing.

Zhang Manqing's face turned pale instantly.

She knelt down with a thud, her voice trembling with tears:

"Lord Lin! I have nothing to do with Gu Yan! I only... I only submitted to him to save my own life!"

Lin Chen raised an eyebrow: "You know me?"

Zhang Manqing nodded frantically, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Back when cell phone networks were still available... I witnessed Lord Lin's impressive presence, but I just couldn't recall it at the moment..."

"Um."

Lin Chen responded indifferently, his gaze sweeping over the group of people again.

"Do you want to live or die?"

"I want to live! I want to live!" Zhang Manqing said quickly, and the other four nodded frantically in agreement.

"Hand over all your supplies and crystal cores in exchange for your lives."

Zhang Manqing was stunned for a moment, then, as if grasping at a lifeline, she immediately pointed to a heavy iron door next to her.

"It's all in there! The supplies and crystal cores are all in that warehouse!"

Lin Chen walked over and pushed open the iron gate.

The warehouse wasn't large, and it didn't hold much. Food, medicine, and weapons were scattered about. Based on the number of people here (plus the ordinary people outside), it could last at most three months.

No wonder that snake guy wanted to kill ordinary people.

There were quite a few crystal cores, filling several large boxes. However, they were mostly first-tier, totaling over 100,000 in a cursory glance.

Lin Chen waved his hand, and all of them were stored in his spatial storage.

He walked out of the warehouse and stood in front of Zhang Manqing again.

Zhang Manqing knelt on the ground, staring at him expectantly, barely daring to breathe.

Lin Chen looked down at her: "This amount of supplies is not enough to buy your lives."

Zhang Manqing's face paled even more. The others trembled as well, their eyes filled with despair.

Lin Chen looked at their expressions and suddenly laughed.

"However, I have a plan. You can listen to it."

Everyone immediately looked up, staring at him expectantly.

Lin Chen slowly said, "You can contribute your efforts to open up the transportation route to the east of the city."

He paused, then said, "Consider it the remaining money for buying my life."

Zhang Manqing was stunned, and the other four people were also stunned.
