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

At this point, dinner was finally ready.

As the steaming hot food was served, everyone temporarily put aside those heavy topics and began to enjoy the most relaxing moment of the day.

After the meal, the usual routine continued.

I followed Li Ya and the others to the entertainment area.

Early the next morning.

Lin Chen handed over the two hundred Creation Spirit Crystals and one hundred and ninety-nine Life Spirit Crystals that he received as a reward for upgrading the Creation Pearl yesterday and that were refreshed today to Li Ya.

Then they continued on their way with Yuanzai.

Shenzhen.

One of China's four super-first-tier cities, it is also a place that has been completely urbanized - there are no rural areas, no farmland, only dense high-rise buildings and crisscrossing road networks.

Lin Chen sat on Yuanzai's back, gazing at the gradually clearer outline of the city ahead.

The population density here is much higher than that of Guangzhou.

Before the apocalypse, this was a place where countless people pursued their dreams. After the apocalypse, this became a sea of ​​zombies.

A slight smile played at the corners of his lips.

Today should bring good results.

Yesterday, I learned from the military in Dongguan that Staff Officer Chen had already spoken to the military in Shenzhen.

Since the other party already knows what's going on, he doesn't intend to beat around the bush today.

Head directly to the military base.

Lin Chen headed towards the heart of Shenzhen, but before he even reached the military base, he was already being watched.

After entering the city, he slowed down to observe the surrounding situation.

Yuanzai also slowed his pace, looking around and sniffing the air.

Just then, a dark shadow swooped down from the sky.

Extremely fast!

Lin Chen caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of his eye and instinctively shifted half a step to the side. The dark figure brushed past his ear, the wind it stirred up stinging his face.

It is an eagle.

With a wingspan of over two meters, its feathers are jet black, but its eyes are an eerie gold.

It circled in the air, rose up again, and then swooped down once more—this time its target was Yuanzai!

Yuanzai let out a howl and rolled to the side, barely dodging the attack. The eagle's talons grazed its fur, carving a shallow dent in the ground.

Lin Chen narrowed his eyes.

This eagle is quite bold.

The third dive was aimed straight at Lin Chen's face.

Lin Chen didn't dodge this time.

Just as the eagle's claws were about to touch his head—the temporal field silently unfolded.

The eagle's movements slowed instantly, as if it had been paused. It hovered in mid-air, its wings stiffly spread, its golden eyes filled with confusion.

Lin Chen raised his hand and gently and loosely grasped its paw.

"He's pretty arrogant," he said.

But then, the next second—*zzzzzzzzzzzz!*

A surge of electricity coursed through Lin Chen's body from the eagle's claw!

Lin Chen froze, his hair stood on end, and his scalp tingled.

"Hold--"

He subconsciously let go.

The eagle, now free, flapped its wings and took to the air, reaching a safe altitude in just a few breaths.

Then it stopped in mid-air and looked down at Lin Chen.

That look in his eyes carried a hint of smugness, a hint of wariness, and a touch of "come on, try again" provocation.

Yuanzai tilted its head back and looked at it, barking twice as if to say: Master, did you get electrocuted? Haha!

Lin Chen touched his still numb scalp, looked at his hair standing on end, and took a deep breath.

"Okay. You're awesome."

The eagle seemed to understand, and cried out again, its voice sharp and piercing, but it dared not attack again.

Then it just stayed in the sky with them, neither attacking nor leaving.

Just adorning it.

Lin Chen walked, it flew.

Lin Chen stopped, and it stopped too.

Like a tail you can't shake off.

Yuanzai would occasionally glance up, letting out a threatening growl. But the eagle wasn't afraid at all; it would even swoop down to scare it before flying back.

Lin Chen glanced at it.

This eagle is interesting.

It's fast, it discharges electricity, and it holds grudges.

He thought of the life crystal he had fed Yuanzai yesterday.

This eagle's speed, reaction time, and ability to generate electricity—if it could be tamed, it would be an absolute weapon of mass destruction in the air.

I just don't know what level its talent is. Is it A-level? S-level? Or what?

More importantly—

This morning, he gave all the spirit crystals to Li Ya.

Not a single one was left.

"……Hold."

Lin Chen looked up at the eagle still circling in the sky, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

The eagle seemed to sense his gaze, and swooped down again, letting out a few sharp cries, as if showing off or mocking him.

Lin Chen took a deep breath.

Row.

Write it down in a little notebook.

-

And so, the man, the bear, and the eagle remained locked in a stalemate for most of the city.

The eagle hovered above them, neither too close nor too far, occasionally swooping down to scare them before quickly soaring upwards.

Lin Chen tried to catch it several times, but the creature had learned its lesson and wouldn't give him a chance to get close.

Until the military base came into view.

Lin Chen strode towards the gate. The sentries at the gate had already been notified and immediately let him through after verifying his identity.

A young soldier led him through the surface fortifications toward the underground shelter.

Just as Lin Chen stepped into the underground entrance, a sharp cry came from above.

The eagle circled twice before finally disappearing into the gray sky.

Lin Chen glanced back, his lips twitching slightly.

The underground shelter was more spacious than I had imagined, with rows of converted rooms on either side of the passageway, illuminated by dim lights.

Countless survivors also live here.

The young soldier led him to a door and knocked on it.

"Commander Feng, Mr. Lin has arrived."

"Come in."

The door opened, and a middle-aged man in his early fifties came forward. He had a square face, thick eyebrows, and stood ramrod straight.

He reached out his hands, grasped Lin Chen's hands, and shook them vigorously.

"Lord Lin! I've heard so much about you!" He laughed heartily. "Commander Peng and Staff Officer Chen have already informed me. I am Feng Chenbing, and I'm temporarily in charge of things in Shenzhen."

Lin Chen smiled and replied calmly, "Commander Feng, you're too kind. It's I who have been presumptuous in bothering you."

Commander Feng waved his hand, a man of efficiency, and didn't stand on ceremony: "Haha, I know why Lord Lin is here. Come on, I'll take you to the warehouse."

The two passed through several sentry posts and arrived at an underground warehouse. The space was not small, but it was somewhat empty, with several rows of military supply boxes piled up in the corner.

Commander Feng walked straight to a pile of boxes and patted the top one.

"Lord Lin, all the unused crystal cores are here—a total of one million."

Lin Chen glanced at them; the boxes were neatly stacked, numbering at least several dozen. He nodded, and without any ceremony, waved his hand.

The entire pile of boxes vanished instantly.

"Thank you, Commander Feng," he said. "What supplies would Commander Feng like?"

Commander Feng's eyes lit up slightly, then he smiled and said, "Then I won't stand on ceremony with you. My supplies can't compare to Old Li's in Dongguan, so just give me a batch according to the standards of Staff Officer Chen and his men."

"it is good."

With a thought, Lin Chen felt the supplies in his space flow out like water.

Boxes of compressed dry food, bags of rice, barrels of cooking oil, boxes of canned goods, and winter clothing—the once empty warehouse was soon filled to the brim.
