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

Regardless of Shen Ada's disheartened state, Lin Chen had already ridden Xiao Hei to the place where Li Ya had previously camped in Suzhou in just over ten minutes.

By this time, the camp had been completely cleared away, and even the ashes of the campfire were covered by snow.

He stood in the open space and looked around. The entire city of Suzhou seemed to have been washed clean. There were no gunshots, no zombies, and not a single person in sight.

"I didn't expect Xiaoya and the others to be so fast," he muttered to himself.

According to calculations, with Suzhou cleared up, the next step should be Nanjing.

Lin Chen patted Xiao Hei's neck, and Xiao Hei flapped its wings again and flew off towards the northwest.

In less than ten minutes, the scene outside Jinling City came into view.

Unlike the deathly silence of Suzhou, here one could hear a lot of gunshots and muffled explosions of supernatural powers.

Lin Chen circled in the air once and quickly spotted a large camp in the south of the city. The tents were neatly arranged, the vehicles were lined up in an orderly manner, and the sentry posts were everywhere. It was the camp of the First Regiment.

Little Black swooped down, and the sentries at the camp gate initially raised their weapons alertly. But upon recognizing the newcomer, they immediately cheered, "Brother Lin is here! Brother Lin is here! Quickly, notify Sister Ya!"

Lin Chen landed and strode directly into the camp.

Li Ya rushed out of the command tent, running so fast that she almost tripped over the debris under her feet, followed by Zhou Xiaomin and Ma Xiaoyan, who were equally excited.

She grabbed Lin Chen's arm, looked him up and down several times, her eyes slightly red, but her words were still sharp: "Why did you come here? Is your injury healed? Did Shen Xiyuan agree to let you be discharged from the hospital?"

Lin Chen didn't answer. He reached out and pulled her into his arms, holding her for a long time before letting go. Then he hugged Zhou Xiaomin and Ma Xiaoyan as well.

"Let's go inside and talk." He pulled her into the tent.

Inside the tent was a map, densely marked with the progress of the cleanup and the distribution of zombies.

"Su Cheng, have you finished cleaning up?" Lin Chen asked.

Li Ya nodded: "We cleaned up the mess the day before yesterday; the zombies are basically all gone."

"The survivors and supplies are all in the military camp, waiting for you to collect them."

Lin Chen nodded and praised, "You've worked hard; this progress is much faster than I expected."

Then he took out a small tablet from his pocket and handed it to Li Ya.

"What is this?" Li Ya took it, the screen lit up, and Xiao Yu's voice came from it.

Lin Chen said, "This is the cultivation technique 'Basic Creation Technique' that Xiao Ran just finished evolving. I had Xiao Yu create instructional videos and a 3D demonstration program, which will allow everyone to level up and even break through realms without relying on crystal cores!"

Li Ya paused for a moment, then looked down at the screen.

In the video, Lin Chen is demonstrating the movements one by one, with a 3D skeletal model disassembling in sync, and the instructions clearly labeled.

There was a moment of silence in the tent. Zhou Xiaomin and the others also came over, their eyes wide open.

"This...can it really work?" Ma Xiaoyan couldn't help but ask.

Lin Chen glanced at her: "The people who stayed at the base last night already tried it, and it worked well. You guys watch the video first, and then teach the rest of the team after you've learned how."

Li Ya's eyes lit up, and she became energetic.

They've been stuck at Tier 4 for too long. High-tier zombies are hard to find, and they only have two Tier 4 crystal cores in total, which is simply not enough to break through.

Tang Xiaoran's set of techniques is like a godsend.

"That's great!" she exclaimed, clutching her tablet, her voice trembling with excitement. "Once everyone's skills improve, we'll be able to clear out the zombies much faster."

Lin Chen nodded: "That's right. However, the cultivation technique can only be cultivated up to the seventh level at present."

"Seventh rank is enough," Li Ya said confidently.

Lin Chen added, "When you're practicing, summarize your experiences and give feedback to Tang Xiaoran so she can optimize the next step."

Li Ya and the other two nodded in unison: "Understood."

Lin Chen remained silent for a moment before speaking: "You can pass on the cultivation technique to trusted military personnel."

Li Ya and the other two exchanged glances and nodded: "Okay."

Afterwards, Lin Chen chatted with them for more than an hour about everyday things.

After he had finished explaining everything, he didn't linger any longer and took away the five million crystal cores they had accumulated in Suzhou before leaving.

Riding on his little black bike, he first flew to Qin Yi's camp, then detoured to Liu Feifei's Nanhe Province.

When they saw Lin Chen standing before them, full of life and energy, they couldn't help but burst into tears and shower him with concern.

Before leaving, he took four million crystal cores from Qin Yi and three and a half million from Liu Feifei.

By the time he left Liu Feifei's camp, it was already getting dark.

He sighed, "A beauty's nest is a hero's grave!" The bitterness of it all is indescribable.

I rode my little black bike and continued flying towards Yuhang in Nanjiang Province.

Qin Lu's team had already arrived in Yuhang. She maintained her tough stance and, without saying a word, first subdued several local forces that were not willing to submit, and then made contact with the military.

Seeing that she was not only strong in the fist but also efficient in her work, the military readily gave her their support.

With the military's backing, Qin Lu thrived, and her cleanup speed was unparalleled.

Half an hour later, Lin Chen rode Xiao Hei to Yuhang City. From the air, he quickly found the camp located in the north of the city.

This place is even larger than Li Ya's camp in Jinling. It should have been a logistics warehouse before the apocalypse, with many existing buildings, which have now all become Qin Lu's residence.

When Lin Chen landed, the two girls on guard at the door were stunned for a moment, then their voices changed with excitement: "Brother Lin is here! Brother Lin is here!"

Before the words were even finished, the camp erupted in chaos.

Qin Lu quickly rushed out of a warehouse, running very fast, her boots crunching on the snow.

She rushed up to Lin Chen, stopped abruptly, looked him up and down several times, her eyes red-rimmed, and asked softly, "Is your injury healed?"

Lin Chen smiled and nodded, patting his chest as he said, "As strong as an ox."

Then he pulled Qin Lu into his arms and said, "You've worked so hard. I heard you got the nickname 'witch' because of me, Sister Lu?"

Qin Lu rested her head on his shoulder, blushing slightly upon hearing this: "I wonder which gossipy person spread this rumor. If I find out, I'll beat their mouth to a pulp."

"They didn't say anything wrong, and besides..." He whispered in Qin Lu's ear, "I quite like your nickname, my little witch."

Qin Lu buried her face in Lin Chen's shoulder, too embarrassed to come out. When Xiao Yan and Ye Qingyu arrived, they witnessed this scene. They paused, exchanging bewildered glances.

Xiao Yan covered her mouth and tried to stifle a laugh, but Qin Lu glared at her, so she quickly stopped laughing, stood up straight, and her face turned red from holding it in.

"What are you laughing at? Have you finished counting the crystal cores?" Qin Lu stepped out of Lin Chen's arms and asked in a pretentious manner, her ears burning red.

Xiao Yan also straightened her face and reported seriously, "Reporting to Commander Qin, the count is complete. Including today's harvest, we now have six million crystal cores."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "Your team's efficiency is now far ahead of the competition!"

Qin Lu's lips curved slightly, but she quickly withdrew them and didn't reply.

Lin Chen took out a tablet from his pocket and handed it over: "I also brought you a gift this time."
