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

Lin Chen was taken aback when he heard Chang Hao's name.

He had almost forgotten about this person, but Zhou Tiannian remembered him perfectly, keeping track of the exact days, not a day more or less.

"Well done." He nodded. "After you're done, go find Commander Peng."

Zhou Tiannian carefully put the crystal core away from his body and replied, "Okay."

Lin Chen climbed onto Yuanzai and patted its head. Yuanzai stood up, shook its fur, and headed towards Dongguan City.

By the time we arrived in Dongguan, it was already completely dark.

Several campfires were lit in the camp, their flames flickering in the twilight, casting long shadows.

Zhou Xiaomin had already prepared the personnel and supplies, and was just waiting for him to arrive.

Lin Chen worked overtime for another two hours before finally sending the last box of supplies into the space.

After finishing, he didn't continue his journey but went straight back to Creation Island to rest for the night.

Before dawn the next day, Lin Chen climbed out of Su Yun and Liang Siqi's arms.

Calling Yuanzai, the two of them disappeared into the morning light.

In the morning, he went to several military camps and collected the accumulated supplies.

By the time they arrived at Qin Yi and Li Shishi's residence, it was already afternoon.

Their camp was set up on the outskirts of a small county town near Guangxi province, with few people.

This place was never a prosperous area to begin with, so the resources that could be scavenged were limited, and there weren't many survivors rescued.

However, the wild boars in the mountains gave them quite a bit of trouble.

Those beasts were thick-skinned and could generate electricity and breathe fire. They hid in the forest and wouldn't come out. It took them three days to clear them out.

When Lin Chen rode Yuanzai into the camp, Qin Yi was the first to see him.

She was organizing supplies outside the tent when she looked up and saw that familiar figure. The things in her hands fell to the ground with a thud; the person had already run out.

Li Shishi emerged from another tent, paused for a moment, and then rushed over.

"husband--"

The two of them crashed into his arms one after the other, each one more forceful than the other.

Lin Chen was knocked back half a step by them and reached out to pull both of them back.

The surrounding teammates wisely turned their heads away, pretending they hadn't seen anything.

Lin Chen patted the two girls on the back, and after they calmed down a bit, he asked, "Is everything organized?"

Qin Yi lifted her head from his embrace, her nose red from the cold: "The personnel and supplies are all here."

Lin Chen glanced around the camp; it wasn't large, and there weren't many people.

The tents were sparsely set up, and several piles of supply boxes were stacked up, a far cry from the situation on the eastern front.

He found it strange; this small place wasn't worth the two of them staying here.

"Why did you choose this place as your base?"

Qin Yi and Li Shishi exchanged a glance.

Li Shishi leaned forward and lowered her voice, "Honey, we've discovered a secret place here."

Lin Chen raised an eyebrow.

"It's underground, the entrance is hidden deep inside. We only found it by chasing those wild boars," Qin Yi continued, her eyes shining. "There are many unpolluted plants and animals inside, flowers, grass, trees, and even live rabbits, pheasants, and wild boars. Because they're underground, they didn't freeze to death from the extreme cold."

Lin Chen's heart skipped a beat.

The seeds in his hand were mostly grain crops—rice, wheat, corn, soybeans, and so on.

Other species, such as flowers, grasses, and trees, are almost nonexistent.

Zi Ling had told him before that she needed to reach the tenth level to have complete rules and begin to evolve into a species.

Before that, all the biodiversity in the space depended on him bringing it in from the outside.

The unpolluted flora and fauna in this hidden paradise are a living gene pool.

Rabbits, pheasants, flowers, and trees, once placed in the space, can thrive and multiply, making the new world of the space more vibrant.

"Take me to see it." His voice was a few decibels faster than usual.

Qin Yi and Li Shishi immediately nodded in agreement, and without even bothering to move the supplies, they led Lin Chen into the mountains.

The entrance was hidden too deep, and they couldn't quite remember the exact location themselves, so the three of them could only ride Yuanzai slowly through the snow.

Yuanzi left reluctantly, his resentful eyes constantly glancing at the two women.

Qin Yi and Li Shishi were a little embarrassed, as they were both terrible with directions.

"I remember it's to the left, after you climb over that hill," Qin Yi said.

"No, it's to the right, there's a tree on the right, I remember it very clearly," Li Shishi retorted confidently.

When they arrived at the destination, it wasn't there.

Lin Chen was speechless and could only continue searching; these two directionally challenged individuals had too many similarities in this vast snow-covered mountain, and they were both nearly completely bewildered.

After searching for more than two hours, they arrived at a mountain stream. Qin Yi exclaimed with delight, "That's it! Go down into that crevice!"

Li Shishi added, "Yes, that's it, it's really deep down there."

The group arrived at the crevice, which was extremely narrow, allowing only one person to pass sideways. If Qin Yi hadn't been sharp-eyed, she would have missed it again.

When Lin Chen reached the entrance of the cave, he was completely stunned.

Outside, the temperature is tens of degrees below zero, but here it remains around ten degrees Celsius.

It was warm and humid, with the air carrying the earthy and grassy smell.

Water seeped from the stalactites overhead, dripping down one by one, making a crisp sound in the silence.

Underfoot was a thick layer of humus, soft and spongy, like stepping on cotton.

All sorts of plants grew huddled together, ferns, mosses, and unidentified vines, their green so vibrant it was almost unbelievable—he hadn't seen such intense green in a long time in this apocalyptic world.

The rabbit darted out of the bushes, saw the person, paused for a moment, then turned and ran away.

The pheasant took flight with a whoosh, crashing into the stone wall, its feathers falling to the ground.

The snake coiled in the crevice of the rock, flicking its tongue, watching the intruders warily.

There were also many more small animals whose names they didn't know.

Qin Yi stood beside him and said softly, "We were also stunned when we first came down here."

Lin Chen stopped being polite and started to take action.

Those rabbits, pheasants, and snakes were knocked unconscious one by one and sent into the space. Hmm, snake soup is quite delicious, isn't it?

Plants are even simpler; just scrape the soil off the roots and the ground.

Qin Yi and Li Shishi followed behind to help, one giving directions and the other handing things over; they worked together seamlessly.

Just as I was getting into the swing of things, a squeaking sound suddenly came from above.

Lin Chen looked up and saw a group of monkeys, more than thirty in total, squatting on the opposite cliff, staring down at him.

The lead one was particularly robust, with glossy fur. It sat on the foremost rock, its tail held straight up, baring its teeth and barking at them.

They were probably so anxious when they saw Lin Chen was about to take away all their food that they jumped up and down, but dared not come down.

Lin Chen didn't recognize what kind of monkey it was. Qin Yi looked up at it for a while and said, "It's a macaque."

Lin Chen's eyes lit up; he remembered Jiang Yingyue.

That girl has mentioned it several times, saying that those of them who provide support abilities have no combat power, and that it would be great to have a pet like Yuanzai.

If these monkeys can be tamed, we can gain a fighting force to hand over to Jiang Yingyue and the others, and also give them some ability to protect themselves.

Ever since he learned that the Creation Crystal was also effective on animals, he had been keeping an eye on it, never expecting to run into it today.

Yuanzai lay at his feet, glanced up at the group of monkeys, then lazily put his head back on his paws, his face full of disdain.
