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

Lin Chen glanced at him but didn't answer.

Zhao Weiguo raised his hand to stop the officer, his gaze falling on Lin Chen. He looked at him meaningfully for a while, then slowly nodded.

"Okay. That's good, I agree."

Lin Chen continued, "In addition, my people will begin a full-scale cleanup of the zombies in Shanghai and the surrounding urban cluster starting the day after tomorrow. I would like to invite Commander Zhao to participate."

The officers began whispering among themselves again.

Zhao Weiguo didn't hesitate much. He had heard Commander Peng mention Lin Chen's strength and knew that if he didn't participate, obtaining crystal cores would only become increasingly difficult. The other party was now offering to share the benefits.

"That's fine too," he nodded in agreement.

Lin Chen picked up his cup and took another sip. When he put it down, his tone was calmer: "Finally, I have a special ability space. Inside is a world without the apocalypse, where you can live a normal life."

"I want to relocate all the ordinary people in Shanghai and the surrounding urban clusters there. I hope the military will endorse me to facilitate the operation. Except for the most heinous criminals."

"In addition, it would be best if you could help me gather all the usable resources in the surrounding area to support the construction inside."

These words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly igniting the atmosphere in the office.

"A supernatural space? It can hold tens of millions of people?"

"How is this possible?"

The young officer who had interrupted earlier was the first to stand up abruptly: "Mr. Lin, is this true or false?"

Lin Chen smiled slightly: "If you don't believe me, you can come in and take a look."

Zhao Weiguo immediately made the decision: "Okay, let's go in and take a look."

A major general immediately stood up and stopped him: "Commander, this... is perhaps not appropriate."

Zhao Weiguo waved his hand: "What could possibly happen to someone whom Lao Peng so highly regards? Don't you trust Commander Peng?"

The major general was somewhat embarrassed. He opened his mouth, but didn't insist any further.

Zhao Weiguo looked around: "Who else wants to go in and take a look?" Apart from the major general from earlier, everyone else nodded.

Then everyone gathered in a circle, and with Lin Chen's help, they suddenly found themselves standing on the land of "New Guangzhou".

"New Guangzhou" was the name given to this new city by Li Zhenbang. It seems that his father-in-law has some obsession with this name.

The sunlight streamed down from above, warmly bathing my body.

In the distance, a city is under construction, with cranes turning, people bustling about, and streets crisscrossing.

In a newly built school nearby, children chased and played in the open space, their laughter ringing out.

The air was filled with the scents of earth and grass, and the aroma of food wafting from the distant canteen.

Several officers stood still, some looking up at the sky, some stomping on the mud beneath their feet, and some staring blankly at the happy smiles of the people around them.

The young officer who had been questioning the most fiercely just now had his mouth agape, unable to close it for a long time.

Zhao Weiguo didn't speak, but took a deep breath, his chest heaving several times. He hadn't smelled this kind of air in a long time.

They started walking into the crowd, looking around and asking questions, as if they were conducting a survey.

Lin Chen didn't urge him, but followed behind at a leisurely pace.

Before long, news of Lin Chen's arrival reached Li Zhenbang's ears.

He arrived with several members of Huang An's management team from afar. Before they even arrived, their voices preceded their arrival: "Lin Chen, you brat, why didn't you say hello before you came?"

Zhao Weiguo and the others looked at the newcomer with surprise and asked in hushed tones, "Comrade Lin, who is this?"

Lin Chen rubbed his nose helplessly: "The manager here used to be the richest man in Guangzhou. Of course, he's also my father-in-law."

Zhao Weiguo and the others suddenly realized... no wonder they dared to speak to Lin Chen like that.

Li Zhenbang walked up to Lin Chen, looked him up and down, and said with displeasure, "Why did you come alone again? Where's Xiaoya? I haven't seen her for months."

Lin Chen smiled awkwardly: "Uncle Li, Xiaoya is busy."

Li Ya had been fighting away from home for several months and hadn't seen Li Zhenbang in a long time. Now she was busy formulating new battle strategies and had even less time to see him.

He decisively introduced Zhao Weiguo and others to Li Zhenbang, diverting his attention.

Li Zhenbang immediately changed his attitude towards Zhao Weiguo and others, especially when he saw the three-wheeled vehicle on Commander Zhao's shoulder, he was extremely enthusiastic.

He personally led everyone on a tour, showing them the farm, breeding base, school, and factory one by one.

Several officers followed, and for a moment they felt as if they had returned to the pre-apocalyptic world.

It wasn't until noon, when everyone had a meal in the space, that they felt they had seen and asked enough questions.

Lin Chen then led them out of the space.

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

Back in his office, Zhao Weiguo sat in his chair for a while before speaking, his voice much calmer than before: "Comrade Lin, the entire Eastern Military will fully support your plan."

The other officers nodded in agreement.

The young officer who had been the most excited just moments before now had an astonishingly bright eye, as if he had seen some incredible hope.

Lin Chen stood up and extended his hand: "Commander Zhao, you're decisive. It's settled then."

Zhao Weiguo grasped his hand and shook it vigorously.

The two sat down again and began to discuss specific cooperation plans.

Following the same approach used in Guangdong Province, Lin Chen's people were responsible for fighting, while the military was responsible for gathering personnel and supplies.

Once the details were finalized, Lin Chen stood up, ready to take his leave.

Zhao Weiguo saw him to the door, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "What do you plan to do with those two forces in the south and west?"

Lin Chen glanced back at him and smiled, "Talk what needs to be talked about, and suppress what needs to be suppressed. If all else fails..."

He patted Yuanzai's head, and Yuanzai snorted in response, exhaling a cloud of white mist.

"The only way to convince people is through reason. The reason of physics."

Zhao Weiguo paused for a moment, then burst into laughter. After laughing, he patted Lin Chen on the shoulder: "If you need anything, just say the word."

Lin Chen nodded, left the camp, mounted Yuanzai, and the two of them slowly walked away.

Zhao Weiguo stood at the door, watching Lin Chen's figure disappear into the snow, and stood there for a long time.

The major general next to him leaned in and finally couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Commander, what happened when you went in just now?"

The fact that he waited until now to ask shows he's quite shrewd.

Zhao Weiguo withdrew his gaze, his voice calm: "What he said is all true. And..." He paused, "it's even better than he said."
