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

After listening to Liang Siqi's report, Lin Chen fell into deep thought.

The crystal core resources in Shanghai are about to run out, and Su Yun really needs to find a new place to go. He also needs to help them move.

After a long silence, he said, "Let's go to Bincheng first, settle things there, and then I'll personally pick up Sister Yun and take them to find Qin Yi."

"Is the next step Bashu?" Liang Siqi asked.

Lin Chen nodded: "That's right. The only densely populated area left in China is Sichuan and Chongqing."

"With Sister Yun joining us, the progress in Sichuan and Chongqing should be much faster."

Liang Siqi nodded and said nothing more.

Next, Lin Chen spent another week in Northeast China, cleaning up Bincheng, before riding Yuanzai back to Shanghai.

He took all the awakened team members with him this week, and now there are 5,500 S-level ability users left in the entire Northeast, which is enough.

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

When Lin Chen returned to Shanghai, all the zombies had been cleared away.

Instead of rushing to the Financial City base, he went straight to Commander Zhao's command center, where the two sat facing each other in an office.

Commander Zhao was overjoyed to see Lin Chen: "I didn't expect the zombies in Shanghai to be cleared out so quickly. I really have to thank you all."

Lin Chen shook his head: "Commander Zhao, you're too kind. All the zombie crystal cores ended up in my pocket. In terms of profit, I'm the one who got the biggest share. I should be the one thanking you."

Commander Zhao waved his hand and laughed, "With our relationship, there's no need for us to be so polite."

Lin Chen smiled and nodded: "Commander Zhao is right."

Then he asked, "What are your next steps?"

Commander Zhao replied, "I plan to go find Lao Peng. He's already wrapping things up in Guangxi Province. We agreed that I would attack Guizhou Province, and he would go to Yunnan Province after finishing up in Guangxi."

"Officer Chen has finished clearing out Jiangxi Province and is now advancing towards Hunan Province. At this rate, the entire southern part of China will be cleared out very soon."

Lin Chen nodded after hearing this.

Qin Yi's team has cleared Anhui Province and entered Hubei Province; once he picks up Su Yun and the others, they should be able to enter Sichuan soon.

Liu Feifei entered Beihe Province, and Li Ya entered Lu Province. After the Liu and Li families jointly cleared out Jin Province, they continued their westward advance.

After clearing out the major cities, the troops in Northeast China will also enter the primeval forest areas and eastern Inner Mongolia.

In this way, it won't be long before only the Northwest region remains to be cleared.

However, according to news from the Liu and Li families, the Northwest military forces, after learning of the operation here, have also launched their own offensive and have sent a request, hoping that Lin Chen can send reinforcements.

Lin Chen had already made up his mind: after sending Su Yun to Hubei Province, he would go to the Northwest.

In this way, before the extreme heat disaster arrives, he can relocate all the people of the entire country into the Creation Pearl space.

After sitting for another half hour, Lin Chen led Yuanzai toward the Financial City base.

Having received the news, Su Yun and the others had already packed their luggage and were just waiting for his arrival so they could set off at any time.

At the entrance of the base, Wang Xing, Lu Heng, and Shen Ada were squatting in a circle, smoking and chatting in hushed tones.

Upon seeing Lin Chen and Yuanzai appear, the three of them immediately sprang to their feet, their eyes lighting up as they swarmed around them.

Wang Xing was the first to rush to Lin Chen and bowed respectfully: "Boss Lin, you're finally back."

Lu Heng and Shen A'da quickly stepped forward, bowing and greeting, "Greetings, Boss Lin!"

Lin Chen nodded.

These three have performed well recently. When they returned last time, he had given them mid-level life spirit crystals as a reward, and now all three have been promoted to SS level.

In addition, the chubby boy with precognitive abilities also obtained spirit crystals. He doesn't have to do anything now, but he must notify Lin Chen immediately if he senses danger.

"Is everything packed?" Lin Chen asked.

"Everything's ready, we're just waiting for you," Wang Xing replied eagerly.

Not far away, Su Yun also walked over: "The supplies and crystal cores have all been inventoried, and we can leave at any time."

Lin Chen nodded and said no more.

With a wave of his hand, the supplies piled up throughout the base surged into the space like a tide.

At the same time, Wang Xing and his 300,000 superhumans were also taken in by him to Xuanwu Island for temporary residence.

Su Yun stood beside him, looking at the empty warehouse, and said softly, "This is the end."

Lin Chen nodded without replying, and finally escorted Su Yun, Qi Wei, Shen Xiyuan and the others to Creation Island.

Then he rode Yuanzai again towards Hubei Province, and the outline of Shanghai slowly disappeared behind Lin Chen.

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

It was late afternoon when Lin Chen finally found Qin Yi's campsite near a small county town in Hubei Province.

Qin Yi, Li Shishi, and Cheng Meier were already waiting at the camp gate, bored out of their minds.

Upon seeing Yuanzai appear, the three of them lit up and rushed over together.

"Honey, you're finally here!" Qin Yi cheered and ran forward.

"This place is a bit hard to find, we were delayed on the way." Lin Chen rolled down and caught Qin Yi who rushed towards him.

Li Shishi explained, "We've only just entered Hubei Province, and we're not familiar with the terrain yet, so there's nothing we can do."

Cheng Meier peeked behind him and asked, "Where are Sister Yun and the others?"

"Right away." With a thought, Lin Chen released Su Yun and the others from Creation Island. He then found an open space and released Wang Xing, Lu Heng, Shen Ada, and their men as well.

The once quiet campsite suddenly became bustling with activity, as hundreds of thousands of people appeared out of nowhere, filling the entire open space with a dark, overwhelming presence.

Wang Xing shouted instructions to set up camp, and tents sprang up one after another like mushrooms after the rain, creating a spectacular scene.

This forced Qin Yi's team to grow to a size of hundreds of thousands.

Lin Chen spent another night with Qin Yi and Su Yun in Hubei Province.

Early the next morning, he set off alone on his westward journey, heading towards Lancheng in the northwest.

Lin Chen rode Yuanzai through Guanzhong and arrived in Lancheng in just over three hours.

The commander of the Northwest Military Region was surnamed Ma. He was a lean man in his fifties who had been stationed on the frontier before the apocalypse. His soldiers were all skilled and brave in battle.

The two exchanged few pleasantries before arriving at a military underground fortification. Commander Ma cut to the chase: "Mr. Lin, the Northwest is sparsely populated and has few zombies, but plenty of mutated beasts. Our main problem right now is a lack of high-end combat power to deal with these mutated zombie beasts."

Lin Chen didn't waste any words and immediately released eight hundred S-class ability users from Creation Island: "Commander Ma, they are all S-class ability users. I can provide you with one hundred more such ability users every day, and I myself will also be stationed here temporarily."

Commander Ma must have a good understanding of Lin Chen's situation, so he looked at Lin Chen with red eyes and gave a military salute: "Thank you for your support from afar, Mr. Lin."

Lin Chen quickly stepped aside: "Commander Ma, you're too kind."

Commander Ma then didn't hesitate and instead took Lin Chen directly to their warehouse, giving him all the crystal cores stockpiled by the Northwest Military Region.

Lin Chen didn't stand on ceremony: "Commander Ma, I'll gladly accept the crystal cores." He quickly put the crystal cores from the warehouse into his spatial storage.

Commander Ma smiled and nodded: "That's how it should be."

In the following period, Lin Chen followed Commander Ma's team to begin operations in the Northwest region.

Zombies and zombie beasts were ruthlessly eliminated by Lin Chen and his group, while mutated beasts were spared as much as possible and taken to the four islands surrounding Creation Island.

A month later, Li Ya sent back a message: the cleanup in Lu Province was complete, and they were now moving towards Beihe Province to help Liu Feifei complete the final touches.

With Su Yun's assistance, Qin Yi's 600,000-strong army advanced swiftly into Sichuan.

Qin Lu was in the final stages of her journey in Fujian Province, which is entirely mountainous and severely hampered her speed.
