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

Lin Chen ignored Yuanzai's resentful little eyes and followed Qin Lu into the room.

Xiao Yan and the Twelve Golden Flowers followed them in with smiles, closing the door behind them.

The room was very simple. There was no furniture, no decoration, just a large futon on the floor covered with thick blankets, enough to sleep dozens of people.

As soon as Lin Chen entered the room, he reached out and put his arm around Qin Lu's waist, then lowered his head and kissed her.

Before their lips even touched, her right hand gently pressed against them.

Qin Lu rolled her eyes at him: "What's the rush?"

Lin Chen was speechless: "Aren't you the one in a hurry? I'm just going along with you."

Qin Lu blushed slightly and turned to give Xiao Yan a wink.

Xiao Yan understood and turned to walk to the inside of the room.

Lin Chen then discovered that there was actually a suite in this room, separated by a curtain.

Xiao Yan pulled back the pink curtain and stepped lightly to the side.

Eighteen girls emerged from behind the curtain.

One after another, they filed out.

They were dressed meticulously and made up exquisitely, like a group of butterflies that shouldn't have been there in this harsh apocalypse.

Their eyes were filled with spring-like joy, and their gazes fell on him, filled with both shyness and anticipation.

Lin Chen's gaze swept across their faces and then suddenly stopped.

The girl on the far right looks somewhat familiar, but I can't quite place where I've seen her before.

She stood at the edge of the crowd, unlike the others who were bold. Her face showed some restraint, her eyes were downcast, and her fingers were gently clenching the hem of her clothes.

Lin Chen walked over and stopped in front of her.

"Who are you? You look somewhat familiar."

The girl looked up, her gaze lingered on his face for a moment, then looked away. She felt a little uneasy; it seemed he really didn't remember her.

She spoke softly, her voice low: "My name is Chen Lan. I met you once before, Brother Lin, in Dongguan."

Lin Chen paused for a moment, then remembered the little girl who had huddled behind Chen Yang and timidly asked him if he could take them to Guangzhou.

"You are Chen Yang's sister."

Chen Lan nodded, her lips curving into a forced smile.

She had been waiting for this moment for almost a month, but when she stood in front of him, she realized that she was nothing more than a vague footnote in his memory.

"Why don't you join the military with your brother?" Lin Chen asked.

Chen Lan's face flushed slightly, and she lowered her voice, as if afraid of being overheard: "My brother and sister-in-law originally wanted me to go with them. But after I found out that this group was yours, I... I came here quietly."

The last few words were as soft as a mosquito's hum.

Lin Chen looked at her with some surprise. She'd only met him once, and she'd already followed him? Was he really that handsome?

Qin Lu grabbed his hand from behind and led him to the floor mat.

After he lay down, she leaned close to his ear and gently blew a breath, her voice so soft it could melt your heart.

"I told you before you left that I'd give you a special gift when we met next time. Today is the day to keep that promise."

She raised her head, glanced at the eighteen new girls, and smiled.

"Don't just stand there, come on over."

..............

The next day, Lin Chen slept in, which was unusual for him.

Yesterday's experience was truly unforgettable for him.

It has to be admitted that Qin Lu's methods for pleasing men are truly exceptional.

As expected of a veteran who mentored talented livestreamers before the apocalypse, his mindset and timing were perfectly executed.

It gave him a profound experience of the treatment given to those incompetent rulers who didn't want to attend court in the morning, a product of feudal dregs.

He lay lazily on the floor, still holding Xiao Yan in his arms, and really didn't want to get up.

Xiao Yan stirred in his arms, mumbled something indistinctly, snuggled closer to his chest, and continued sleeping.

The others were already up, quietly packing their things, their footsteps very light, as if they were deliberately trying not to wake him.

Today is the day of evacuation.

After he finishes cleaning up here, he will first head south to pick up Liu Feifei's team, then head west to pick up Qin Yi and Li Shishi, and finally head north to pick up Li Ya.

After running one lap, everyone was there.

Then, they went to the Shanghai metropolitan area.

Lin Chen closed his eyes and lingered for a while longer.

The sounds around me gradually grew louder: someone was moving things, someone was talking in hushed tones, someone chuckled softly, and then quickly fell silent again.

He lingered in bed for another hour before opening his eyes and gently patting Xiao Yan's shoulder.

"Get up."

Xiao Yan snorted and buried her face in the blanket.

Lin Chen smiled and didn't urge her any further.

He got up and went outside to collect supplies.

There were many things in the camp. As he walked, he collected all the supplies, equipment, and food reserves into his spatial storage.

One by one, the survivors who were rescued were sent into the Creation Pearl by him.

He didn't keep most of the superhumans; he handed them all over to Commander Peng.

He doesn't lack manpower, but he lacks combat power.

On the contrary, Commander Peng's side needs to divide his troops into three routes and urgently needs to expand his forces.

Qin Lu stood by and watched, her heart aching with pain.

These were all her savings that she had accumulated over a long period of time, and now she was just giving them away like that.

She opened her mouth as if to say something, but then swallowed it back; she knew Lin Chen's rules.

After seeing off the last group of people, including those in the room last night, she had less than a hundred people under her command, all of them young girls, each with a decent appearance.

Looking at the team, Qin Lu felt a mix of emotions and said with some resentment, "Is this really all that's left?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Spirit crystals are limited, so this is the only way for now."

Qin Lu nodded helplessly. Back then, she had tens of thousands of men under her command, standing there in awe. Now? Only a little over a hundred remained.

Xiao Yan arrived late, yawning as she joined the line. Qin Lu glared at her, and Xiao Yan shrank back, not daring to utter a sound.

Lin Chen took them all into Creation Island, said a few words to Su Yun and Liang Siqi, called Qin Lu over to introduce themselves, and then left the space again.

Qin Lu stood there and finally met these "sisters" whose names she had only heard of but never seen.

Su Yun is Lin Chen's second-in-command and the acknowledged head housekeeper.

She's two years younger than me, but she exudes a more mature and commanding aura than I do. Just standing there, she commands respect without a hint of anger; she's a natural leader.

Liang Siqi is the woman praised by Liu Feifei as "the third person by Lin Chen's side".

She had assumed that anyone Lin Chen would like and value would be at least an angel. But upon meeting her, she discovered that Liang Siqi's appearance wasn't particularly stunning, and in fact, she was even slightly less attractive than her.

But her scholarly air and calm, composed demeanor, even when she was just standing there silently, gave people a sense of security. Qin Lu suddenly understood why Lin Chen liked her... This kind of woman didn't rely on her looks at all.

Qi Wei. She only glanced at Qi Wei once, and didn't want to look anymore. That beauty was more than a level above hers. So exquisite that every detail looked as if it had been measured with a ruler; standing there, without doing anything, she was a painting.

And those twin sisters...the kind who are blessed with natural talent, there's no comparison.

She looked down at herself, then at the others, and sighed silently.

She can't compare to Qi Wei in looks, nor to Su Yun and Liang Siqi in temperament, and she can't compare to the twins in cuteness.

It seems like all I have left is the ability to please men.

Xiao Yan and the Twelve Golden Flowers stood behind her, each one incredibly well-behaved, not daring to breathe loudly, as if they were intimidated by the scene.

Su Yun didn't think as much as Qin Lu did. Lin Chen had already explained their situation to her, so she was aware of it.

She walked over, took Qin Lu's hand generously, and smiled gently: "From now on, we're sisters. Come on, let me show you around here."

Qin Lu quickly replied with a smile, "Thank you, Sister Yun."

Xiao Yan and the others also thanked them, behaving very well and speaking in unison.

At this moment, Lin Chen had already mounted Yuanzai and was speeding towards Liu Feifei's camp to the south.
