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

Inside the Creation Pearl space, the sunlight was just right.

Grandpa Zhou slowly opened his eyes and was stunned.

The sky was blue, not the suffocating gray-white that's outside.

The wind was warm, blowing gently, carrying the scent of earth and grass.

In the distance, there are mountains, towns under construction, and densely packed, busy crowds... Some people are carrying steel bars, some are pushing brick carts, and some are standing on rooftops hammering nails.

It's not the apocalypse; it's more like a construction site.

Mr. Zhou stood there for a long time.

Lin Chen didn't urge him, but simply called out into the distance, "Uncle Li! Uncle Li!"

Li Zhenbang was squatting on the construction site, pointing out blueprints to someone, when he heard the shout and turned around.

His gaze fell on Master Zhou, and he jumped up as if he had been electrocuted.

"Master Zhou...Master Zhou?!"

He rushed over in three strides, grabbed Zhou Ye's hand, looked him up and down several times, and his eyes immediately reddened.

"Master Zhou! You're still alive!" His voice trembled. "You're my idol! I've watched your movies countless times!"

Mr. Zhou smiled somewhat embarrassedly as his hand was held by him.

He was used to being liked, but in this apocalypse, there were still people who remembered him, rushed over, grabbed his hand, and called him "idol."

He hadn't felt this way in a very, very long time.

Li Zhenbang held his hand tightly, asking him all sorts of questions.

As Grandpa Zhou recounted his experiences these past few days, the old man's eyes reddened repeatedly, and he slapped his thigh, saying he was still shaken.

"Master Zhou, just stay here and relax!" He patted his chest reassuringly. "I'll arrange for people to take care of you, so don't worry about anything!"

He turned his head and looked at Lin Chen, his gaze completely different from before.

"Kid," Li Zhenbang rarely smiled, his tone tinged with seriousness, "consider it a favor I owe you. You saved Master Zhou, so from now on, you don't need to use Xiaoya to blackmail me about things here. I'll definitely keep things under control for you!"

Lin Chen's lips twitched.

He's over sixty years old, but he's chasing after celebrities like a young boy.

Li Zhenbang ignored him and, holding Zhou Ye's hand, walked deeper into the camp, calling back as he went, "Old Zhou! Old Liang! Come out and see who's here!"

The busy figures on the construction site looked up and saw the person Li Zhenbang was holding hands with. They were all stunned, and then an uproar broke out.

"Master Zhou?!"

"My God, it's Mr. Zhou!"

"Master Zhou is still alive!"

A crowd surged forward, some too excited to speak, some wringing their hands unsure what to do, and some laughing incessantly with red eyes.

Those faces, dulled by the apocalypse, now seemed to come alive.

They surrounded Master Zhou, cheering loudly to celebrate his arrival.

Surrounded by them, Grandpa Zhou was somewhat at a loss, but his eyes were wet with tears.

Lin Chen stood outside the crowd, watched for a while, and then a slight smile appeared on his lips.

He turned around and left the space.

When Lin Chen returned to the room, the twin sisters were leaning against Yuanzai, kicking the ground with their toes out of boredom.

Yuanzai lay there, not daring to move, for fear of offending the two "big shots".

Upon seeing him come out, the two immediately rushed over and hugged him from both sides.

Zhou Tiannian stood a few steps away, not daring to get too close, but his eyes were fixed on Lin Chen, wanting to ask but not daring to, his expectation written all over his face.

Seeing this, Lin Chen smiled slightly.

"Don't worry, Uncle Li is also a fan of Master Zhou. He will take good care of Master Zhou."

He paused, then said more casually, "You'd better go get back to your work."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Tiannian felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders, and a smile finally appeared on his face.

"Alright! Don't worry, Boss Lin, we guarantee the mission in Hong Kong will be completed on schedule!"

Lin Chen nodded and said nothing more.

He put his arm around the twin sisters, climbed onto Yuanzai, and rode back to Guangzhou.

------------

Two and a half months passed in this way. The cleanup work in Guangdong Province finally entered its final stage and was about to end.

The zombies that once roamed the cities and countryside have long since become a desolate wasteland.

Li Ya and her team have cleared out the last few hidden corners and remote areas.

The military's cleanup teams are still searching area by area, but the large-scale fighting has ended.

The number of survivors in the space has exceeded eight million.

Li Zhenbang is now so busy that he barely has time to rest.

The burden of feeding, housing, production, and construction for eight million people rests entirely on his shoulders.

Fortunately, with the help of Liang Xingguo and Huang An, and by selecting a number of people from the newly arrived survivors, they were able to barely stabilize the situation.

Now, every time Lin Chen goes in, Li Zhenbang no longer complains. His three concubines and six other children have also been sent in by Lin Chen to take care of him.

Whenever he has time, he goes to chat with Master Zhou. Although he is busy, he is very content now.

As for Master Zhou, he has completely integrated into life within the space.

He smiles much more every day now.

He also selected a dozen or so talented children who genuinely loved performing and took them on as apprentices, teaching them seriously.

This man, who spent his entire life performing comedies on stage, was terrifyingly strict when it came to teaching his apprentices.

If you mispronounce a single word in your lines, you have to start over.

The expression isn't right, let's start over.

If he makes a mistake in one glance, he can practice it dozens of times.

I don't know how many children will be able to stick with it in the end.

Early in the morning, Lin Chen arrived at the cafeteria as usual to distribute spirit crystals to those who were to awaken that day.

After two and a half months, he had become a true seventh-tier expert.

Furthermore, he awakened three new superpowers—S-class metal armor, S-class lightning power, and SS-class bloodline rebirth.

The metal armor is both offensive and defensive, and the lightning grants him the ability to strike from a distance, so he no longer has to constantly draw his sword to cut people down.

As for that SS-level bloodline rebirth, Zi Ling said it was a kind of ability similar to rebirth from a drop of blood.

As long as there is a single drop of blood left, one can return from the brink of death.

Although no one on Earth can hurt him to that extent now, he still attaches great importance to this ability because he thinks about the enemies he may face in the future.

Zi Ling also said that the higher the level of this ability, the shorter the time required for rebirth and the less energy is consumed.

Having an extra card to play is always a good thing.

The number of people in the underground shelter is decreasing.

Those who awakened combat abilities were all transported to the front lines by Hu Shanshan using a teleportation portal to help clear out the remaining zombies.

Batch after batch of people were sent out. Even with Bai Xin and the twin sisters recruiting, the number of people who met the requirements was decreasing, and the recruitment speed could not keep up with the consumption speed.

The total number of troops in the inner city has now reached 1.2.

But at this moment, there are only five or six thousand people left in the base.

Tang Xiaoran sat in the crowd, twisting the hem of her clothes with her fingers, her eyes constantly glancing towards Lin Chen.

She had been waiting for this day for more than two months.

There was nothing we could do; she arrived too late.

There were more than 8,000 people ahead of her, and by the time it was her turn, it was already this late.

When Lin Chen handed the spirit crystal to her, she took it with trembling hands, her eyes still glistening with tears.

The crystal-clear Creation Crystal lay in her palm. She stared at it for two seconds, then swallowed it without hesitation.

Lin Chen sat behind the table, registering the special abilities of the newly awakened individuals one by one.

Of course, he was only responsible for asking questions; Xiaoyu was responsible for taking notes.

"Types of superpowers? Characteristics?"

"Water control...it's about manipulating water flow."

"Speed ​​boosted, runs incredibly fast."

"Strength type, my strength has increased."

One after another, it was soon Tang Xiaoran's turn.

"What are superpowers? What are their characteristics?"

Tang Xiaoran stood there, her brows slightly furrowed, her expression somewhat bewildered.

"Evolution," she said, her voice tinged with uncertainty. "I don't know what characteristics it is."

Lin Chen was stunned for a moment.

Evolution? He had never heard of such a superpower.

Just as he was about to ask another question, Zi Ling's voice suddenly echoed in his mind. It was urgent, solemn, and even tinged with excitement:

"Master, bring her in."

"Her special ability is very important."

"Extremely important."

"It is extremely important to you."

Lin Chen's heart skipped a beat.

Zi Ling always spoke to him calmly. This was the first time he had heard her use this tone, the first time he had heard her say "important" three times in a row.
