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

When Lin Chen returned to the Shanghai Financial City base, it was already late at night.

He walked into the underground passage, where Su Yun and the others were already asleep.

She gently pushed open the door, but the creaking of the hinges still woke her up.

Su Yun, still half-asleep, sat up: "You're back? How did things go?"

"The remnants of the Chen family have been wiped out." Lin Chen sat down on the edge of the bed and pressed down Su Yun, who was trying to get up. "However, there's a new situation. Commander Shen of the Northeast Theater Command is also willing to cooperate, but the situation there is special. There are a lot of zombie beasts, and they lack high-end combat power. They need our support."

Su Yun leaned against the headboard and nodded: "Who do you plan to send?"

Lin Chen did not answer immediately. He leaned back in his chair, mentally reviewing the progress of each front.

Li Ya is in Suzhou, Qin Yi is in Anhui Province, Qin Lu is in Nanjiang Province, and Liu Feifei is in Nanhe Province. All the lines are progressing smoothly.

However, in Shanghai, after more than twenty days of cleanup, there are very few zombies left in the surrounding area. What remains are just scattered small groups of zombies, which are more than enough for Wang Xing and Lu Heng's men.

After a long silence, he made up his mind: "I will go there myself. I will bring all the newly awakened combat-ready forces, as well as the reserve members who have not yet awakened, and awaken them while fighting."

He looked at Su Yun with some heartache: "We can only rely on you to hold things up here. Let Hu Shanshan do her part to help Xiaoya and the others transport supplies and personnel, so as to save time."

"That's fine." Su Yun smiled gently. "What's so hard about this? I don't have to go out and fight. It's nothing compared to how tired you and Xiaoya are."

After a pause, she suggested, "Why don't you bring Yingxue and Yingyue along this time?"

Lin Chen asked in confusion, "Why would I take them with me when I'm going to war?"

Su Yun grasped his hand: "You'll probably be staying for quite a while this time, right? We won't feel at ease without a trusted woman by your side."

Lin Chen was speechless: "Yingyue is hardly a confidante... she's just a silly girl."

Su Yun chuckled: "Yingyue is your source of joy, aren't you going to bring her along? Besides, she's been smiling less lately since you've been gone."

Lin Chen paused for a moment, then nodded: "Okay."

"It would be best to bring Siqi along too," Su Yun added. "And have Xiyuan send you a medical team as well. Siqi's drone swarm should be very useful in that area, and a medical team is essential for rescuing the people."

Lin Chen gave Su Yun a quick kiss on the cheek: "Sister Yun, you're so thoughtful."

Su Yun blushed slightly and asked softly, "When are you leaving?"

As Lin Chen took off his coat, he said, "Of course we'll talk about it tomorrow. It's so late now."

Su Yun's eyes lit up, and she immediately pressed a button on the bedside table.

Soon after, Liang Siqi, Jiang Yingxue, Jiang Yingyue, and the other women who had stayed behind all arrived.

Lin Chen looked at Su Yun in bewilderment: "Sister Yun, why did you install an alarm system?"

"This isn't an alarm; it's a notification signal we agreed upon. Everyone has one in their room." Su Yun's lips curled slightly. "We wouldn't dare face you alone."

Lin Chen sighed, "Sister Yun, I really didn't think that much about it. I just wanted to hold you while I slept."

Su Yun rolled her eyes: "I don't believe you. Wherever you go, you always end up sleeping with someone, right? Qin Yi probably gave you a hard time yesterday, didn't she?"

"Uh, how did you guys know?" Lin Chen rubbed his forehead.

Jiang Yingyue raised her chin: "We keep in touch with our sisters all over the world every day."

Lin Chen: "..."

Soon after, rustling sounds came from the room.

Silent all night.

The next morning, Lin Chen began to select his generals.

They have been here for 21 days, and another 2,100 S-class team members have been newly awakened.

Excluding the two hundred purely support personnel, there are 1,900 combat-ready members. He only brought 5,000 members to the team awaiting awakening.

In addition to Liang Siqi, the twin sisters, Wu Jie accompanied them with a medical team of fifty people. The total number of people was less than seven thousand.

He gathered everyone into Creation Island, then rode Yuanzai and set off northeast again.

When Lin Chen appeared at the entrance of the Shencheng Military Region on his Yuanzai motorcycle, it was already noon.

Commander Shen and a group of officers and cadres were already waiting at the door, eagerly anticipating their arrival.

The officers behind him craned their necks to look into the distance, waiting for more than an hour until their legs went numb.

Yuanzi's figure finally appeared at the end of the snowfield. Commander Shen's eyes lit up and he grinned.

But the officers around him exchanged bewildered glances, and one couldn't help but mutter, "Commander, why did he come alone?"

"Alone? Riding a panda?" Another officer's tone was tinged with disappointment. "No matter how strong he is, the Northeast is so big, how can he manage all the work by himself?"

Commander Shen chuckled, his gaze still fixed on the approaching figure: "He may not have come alone. You'll find out soon enough."

The officers looked at each other, some hesitant to speak, others still doubtful.

But since the commander had said so, they could only be patient and continue to wait.

Yuanzai stopped at the entrance of the military district. Lin Chen landed quickly and strode towards Commander Shen, extending his hand: "Commander Shen, I've kept you waiting."

Commander Shen grabbed his hand, shook it vigorously, and laughed heartily, "Comrade Lin Chen, you've finally arrived! I've been waiting for you like the stars and the moon."

He stepped aside, revealing the group of officers behind him with varying expressions. "Come, let me introduce you. These are the backbone of my Northeast Theater Command."

Lin Chen shook hands with each of them. Although the officers were polite on the surface, they couldn't hide the doubt in their eyes.

Someone couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Lin, I heard you have a strong and well-equipped army under your command, so why did you come alone today?"

His tone carried a hint of probing and disappointment.

"That's right. The Northeast is so big, and there are zombies everywhere. Even a god couldn't handle it all by himself, right?" another officer chimed in. His voice wasn't loud, but everyone present could hear him clearly.

Commander Shen's face darkened, and he was about to speak when Lin Chen raised his hand to stop him.

"Who said I came 'alone'?" Lin Chen's lips curled up slightly. Without explaining further, he raised his hand and waved his hand.

The air in the open space in front of the military district suddenly distorted.

One after another, figures appeared out of thin air and lined up in neat rows.

The first batch consisted of 500 people, all fully armed, with sharp eyes and an imposing presence.

The second group, another five hundred people, were also fully armed, standing ramrod straight, and completely silent.

The third batch consisted of another 500 people.

The fourth batch wasn't less than five hundred people, but when Wu Jie and others dressed as doctors and nurses appeared in the crowd...

The officers' mouths were agape.

In less than a minute, the open space in front of the gate was filled with a line of nearly two thousand people.

Although Commander Shen was prepared, he still couldn't help but take a deep breath when he saw this scene.

Jiang Yingyue, who had just appeared, looked at Lin Chen and wanted to get closer to him, but was stopped by her older sister Jiang Yingxue.

Lin Chen looked at Commander Shen and the others and introduced them: "Commander Shen, this is the first batch of combat-ready personnel I brought, totaling 1,900 people, all of them S-rank. There are also 5,000 reserve members who can be deployed to the battlefield in succession."

The entrance to the military district was eerily silent.
