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

Liu Feifei, Qin Yi, Qin Lu and others took the list from Li Ya and, without lingering, immediately turned around to recruit members for their respective groups.

The list was densely filled with names, each followed by an indication of its ability type, level, and area of ​​expertise.

This was compiled by Xiaoyu, down to which combat team each person is best suited for.

They walked along, heads down, flipping through their books, occasionally exchanging a few words in hushed tones, their steps hurried.

Li Ya also turned and left, holding a thick roster in her hand.

Lin Chen then led Su Yun, Bai Xin, the twin sisters, and others who were listening in out of the space to the underground base of the financial city.

Behind Bai Xin and the others, each person was leading a small monkey.

It was the same group of macaques that Lin Chen had previously captured. They were perched on the girls' shoulders or in their arms, their dark eyes looking around curiously, occasionally squeaking out.

The trading center must be opened as soon as possible.

After Li Ya and the others left, those left behind were mostly support-type ability users with little combat power, as well as ordinary people who had just been recruited and had not yet awakened their abilities.

These monkeys were temporary bodyguards. Although they were not very big, they had all consumed Creation Crystals and were at least A-level beings.

Of course, Bai Xin and the others are only slightly weaker than other ability users of the same level, but that doesn't mean they are worse than those who aren't even S-level.

If it really comes down to it, one of them could easily take on ten.

Moreover, Lin Chen himself will be staying here temporarily, so he is not worried about safety issues.

Moreover, Su Yunke is also an SS-level fire control ability, and she alone can be used as at least ten S-level abilities.

As soon as Lin Chen stepped out of the space, he saw Lu Heng and the others waiting for him anxiously.

Several people paced back and forth in the corridor. Lu Heng's glasses were fogged up, and he would take them off from time to time to wipe them before putting them back on.

He kept nagging, "Brother Lin, why aren't you here yet? Are you trying to ignore me?"

Ah Zhen stood next to him, looking at her boyfriend with a helpless expression.

Wang Xing accompanied him. This man used to be the boss of the south of the city, and his strength was far greater than his own. Now he had become one of Boss Lin's men.

Wang Xing wondered to himself, "I wonder how Boss Lin managed to subdue these people."

He stood there with his hands behind his back, his back ramrod straight, trying his best to maintain the dignity of a "boss," but the undisguised awe in his eyes had already betrayed him.

When the two saw Lin Chen appear, followed by more than a dozen beautiful women, their eyes lit up at the same time, but they also restrained themselves.

Just as Wang Xing was about to go forward, Lin Chen raised his hand to stop him. People kept appearing around him, one after another.

Bai Xin, Su Yun, Jiang Yingxue, Jiang Yingyue, Shen Xiyuan... The last one to come out was Qi Wei, who was carrying a toolbox.

When she stood still, the underground base was already densely packed with people, roughly more than five thousand (plus the three thousand people who had just been recruited the night before).

Wang Xing and Lu Heng weren't too surprised by what they saw.

Having already witnessed Lin Chen's godlike abilities before, seeing it again still left them shocked, but at least their legs wouldn't go weak.

Lin Chen waved to the two men. They quickly stepped forward and stood on either side of him, like two elementary school students waiting to be scolded.

Lin Chen put his arm around Su Yun's slender waist and introduced her to the two of them: "This is Su Yun, the person in charge of the Future Trading Center. You must fully cooperate with Sister Yun, understand?"

The two nodded hastily, inwardly thinking, "Who would dare disobey a woman held in your arms?"

Su Yun smiled slightly at them as a greeting.

His smile was gentle and appropriate, but his eyes held a composure that came from being used to big events, which made the two of them feel more at ease.

"You two, on one hand, work with Sister Yun to maintain order here, and on the other hand, send people to thoroughly clear out the zombies and zombie beasts. The main focus is still on promoting the trading center."

Lin Chen's tone was not harsh, but it left no room for argument: "If you have any questions about solving problems, you can ask me for help."

The two nodded hurriedly, their heads bobbing like chickens pecking at rice.

Afterwards, Lin Chen and his group walked to the storage area.

The place was originally piled with supplies left by the Xie family. Qin Lu took stock of them, keeping the good ones and throwing away the bad ones. There wasn't much left.

Several empty warehouses are connected together, and the dim lighting makes it seem particularly desolate.

Lin Chen stood at the entrance of the first warehouse and waved his hand.

Boxes of supplies poured out of the void and appeared neatly on the ground—compressed biscuits, canned goods, instant noodles, bottled water, cotton clothes, quilts, medicines… each item clearly categorized.

Wang Xing quickly called for help to organize and place the items on the shelves.

Lin Chen walked around the warehouse, waving at each empty warehouse. By the time he finished walking through the last one, all the warehouses were packed full, and the aisles were almost too crowded to walk through.

Wang Xing followed behind him, his eyes wide with amazement.

He swallowed hard, muttering to himself, "Just how much supplies has Boss Lin stockpiled?"

Lu Heng adjusted his glasses but didn't reply. Actually, he wanted to know too.

Lin Chen clapped his hands and turned to Su Yun: "Sister Yun, I'm leaving this to you."

Su Yun nodded, her gaze sweeping over the warehouses piled high with supplies, a slight smile playing on her lips.

She had already begun to consider in her mind: how to price these things, and what the exchange ratio between crystal cores and resources should be.

After all, as the apocalypse continues, supplies will only become more valuable, especially food...

Afterwards, Lin Chen gathered the girls who had stayed behind to guard the island and sent them back. Only then did he have a moment to look at Lu Heng: "What did you do with those people from yesterday?"

Lu Heng scratched his head awkwardly: "Um... I chased them away."

Lin Chen raised an eyebrow: "Why didn't you kill them?"

Lu Heng stammered, "After all, we've known each other for so long..."

Lin Chen didn't say anything more, but simply instructed, "From now on, you'll follow Wang Xing's arrangements. Your people have been reorganized and regrouped."

He shook his head and sighed inwardly: This person is really kind-hearted.

This kind of personality is unsuitable for leadership in the apocalypse; they're not even qualified to make decisions. This is especially true as time goes on.

Wang Xing, standing to the side, was taken aback upon hearing Lin Chen's words.

He looked at Lin Chen in surprise, originally thinking that with the arrival of Lu Heng, an S-level expert, he would probably have to give up his position as the person in charge.

Unexpectedly, it was this person who wanted to listen to him?

However, from Boss Lin's brief words just now, one can glean a certain meaning—is this guy a bit too saintly?

Wang Xing gave Lu Heng a strange look, muttering to himself.

But then he got excited. What man doesn't love power?

He tried to suppress the smile on his lips, straightened his back, and extended his hand to Lu Heng: "Brother Lu, let's look after each other from now on."

Lu Heng grasped his hand, forcing a smile that held a hint of bitterness. Ah Zhen sighed softly behind him.

Lin Chen didn't look at them again, turned around and disappeared into the passage, returning to Creation Island.
