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

Another half month passed, and the zombies in all the southern provinces of China were basically cleared out, and the northern provinces, except for the northwest, were also completely cleared out.

In the Northwest, Lin Chen's S-level superhumans have increased to five thousand.

So, Lin Chen embarked on another journey across the country.

He first went to the Guanzhong region of the Liu family, collected all the people and resources into his space, and settled them on a large island similar to Australia on Earth, as agreed in the previous agreement.

They then went to the Li family's house, where Li Zhenbang arranged for their resettlement.

Then, he picked up Li Ya, Liu Feifei, and Qin Lu, and took them to Qin Yi's place, hoping to work together to resolve the issue in the Bashu region as quickly as possible.

Finally, he met up with Commander Peng, Commander Zhao, Staff Officer Chen, and others.

At Commander Peng's camp, he met Zhou Tiannian again.

Upon seeing him, Zhou Tiannian warmly greeted him and respectfully called out, "Boss Lin!"

Lin Chen smiled and nodded: "Well done. You can take a long vacation this time and spend some quality time with your soon-to-be-born child."

Zhou Tiannian's eyes welled up with tears: "Yes, thank you for your guidance, Boss Lin."

Lin Chen shook his head slightly: "It's the result of your own hard work."

After saying that, he put Commander Peng, Zhou Tiannian and the others into his spatial storage.

After meeting up with Commander Peng and the others, Lin Chen headed back to Sichuan, mainly to find some wives for Yuanzai.

At this point, only three forces remained active within China: Liang Siqi in eastern Inner Mongolia, Li Ya, Qin Yi, and others in Sichuan and Chongqing, and the Northwest Army in Tibet.

At this point, the population within the space had exceeded one hundred million.

Therefore, Li Zhenbang selected ten new city sites.

Every time Lin Chen acquired building materials and steel from the space, Li Zhenbang quickly consumed them, transforming them into modern cities.

The supplies that Lin Chen had brought from the United States and Japan in his early years had long been exhausted.

Fortunately, the space contains crops improved by He Meijiao, which are now not only self-sufficient but also able to support Lin Chen's consumption in the outside world.

This massive project almost fell apart due to food issues.

Looking back now, I'm so glad I made the decision to keep He Meijiao.

She has been working diligently in the fields, striving to increase grain production in the region.

Geologists in the space also found mineral deposits such as iron ore, coal, and oil.

Within the Creation Pearl space, a new industrial system has been re-established.

The Four Divine Beast Islands surrounding Creation Island are home to many mutated beasts that Lin Chen has raised, numbering at least tens of thousands.

Although there are many, there are a wide variety of species, including birds and beasts.

----------

Three months later, Lin Chen reappeared at the Northwest Army's garrison.

This time, he wasn't there to clear out zombies or deliver supplies; he was there to pick up people.

A month ago, Li Ya, Qin Yi, Qin Lu, Liu Feifei and others had finished their cleanup mission in Bashu and were taken into his space to rest.

A few days ago, Liang Siqi also withdrew from the Mengdong region, leading the last batch of team members into Creation Island.

Now, within China's borders, only the Northwest Army stationed in Yicheng remains.

When Lin Chen landed at the camp gate on Yuanzai, Commander Ma had already led a group of officers out to greet him.

After a few months apart, this man in his fifties from Northwest China had become even thinner, but his back remained straight and his eyes were still sharp.

"Mr. Lin!" Commander Ma strode forward, reaching out to firmly grasp Lin Chen's hands. "You've finally arrived. We've cleared out the zombies and mutated beasts in the Northwest."

Lin Chen nodded, his gaze sweeping over the soldiers and their families in the camp, all fully equipped and ready to go, and he felt a surge of emotion.

The Northwest is a harsh and cold region with the worst conditions and the fewest supplies, but this unit persevered to the end with its indomitable will.

"Commander Ma, you've worked hard." Lin Chen squeezed his hand tightly. "I've come to take you to your new home."

Commander Ma's eyes were slightly red. He didn't say much, but turned around and shouted at the team behind him: "Everyone! Assemble in formation! Prepare to enter the space!"

The camp instantly sprang into action.

The soldiers, carrying luggage, helping the elderly, and holding children, lined up in an orderly square formation.

Commander Ma took one last look at this former homeland, and his eyes welled up with tears.

Seeing this, Lin Chen walked over to his side and comforted him, "Commander Ma, there's no need to be sad. After the apocalypse ends, we may be able to come back and rebuild our homes."

Commander Ma, her eyes red, turned to Lin Chen and asked, "Will that day really come?"

Lin Chen nodded vigorously: "There definitely will be!"

Commander Ma gave Lin Chen a firm military salute, then put his arm down: "Thank you, Mr. Lin! I believe in you, and we will definitely have a day when we can come back together."

Lin Chen nodded, no longer hesitating. He raised his hand and waved, first taking Commander Ma and several of his core generals into his spatial storage and placing them in a new area that Li Zhenbang had specially designated for the Northwest Army.

Subsequently, batches of soldiers and their families, along with the supplies and equipment in the camp, were all taken into the Creation Pearl.

An hour later, the once bustling camp was completely deserted.

Only an empty campsite remained, with a few faded flags fluttering on flagpoles.

Lin Chen stood at the entrance of the empty camp and exhaled a breath of stale air.

By this time, in the eleventh month of the apocalypse, all the zombies and zombie beasts in the entire country of China had been cleared out, and all the survivors had been transferred to the Creation Pearl space.

From Guangdong Province to the Yangtze River Delta, from Beijing to the Northeast, from the Northwest to Sichuan, after nearly a year of bloody struggle, he finally fulfilled his promise and gave ordinary people in China a safe haven without the end of the world.

Yuanzai let out a low growl and carried Lin Chen on his way home.

Instead of going directly to Creation Island, he returned to the Demon City, the city where he had once fought against the gods.

Lin Chen stood on the beach where he had once fought against the gods, gazing at the gray sky. Without lingering, he entered Creation Island with a thought.

As soon as he appeared, Li Ya and the others surrounded him.

"Honey, how is it?" Li Ya was the first to speak.

Lin Chen smiled slightly: "Everything went smoothly."

"So what's the next step?" Liu Feifei asked.

"You should rest for a while." Lin Chen's gaze swept over their faces one by one. These girls, who had followed him through thick and thin, all had undisguised exhaustion on their faces.

Su Yun asked with some concern, "Now that the domestic event is over and we've harvested 3 million crystal cores, we're probably still quite a ways off from Purple Spirit's next upgrade, right?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Indeed, Zi Ling's next upgrade will require two billion, which is still a long way off."

"Do you have a next action target?" Su Yun pressed.

Lin Chen gazed at the Creation Tree, its entire body glowing purple, in the distance, and said calmly, "In another month, the snow outside will melt, and we'll enter an extremely hot apocalypse. At that time, we'll set sail."

There was a moment of silence.

"This is going to be another tough battle." Lin Chen turned his gaze back to them. "So, take this opportunity to rest for a while."

Li Ya and the others exchanged glances and did not ask any further questions.

Since Lin Chen already had a plan, they didn't say anything more, just nodded and went to settle down.

Lin Chen stood there, watching the departing figures, and let out a deep breath.

Then, he came alone to the Hongmeng Creation Tree, found a flat place to sit down, leaned his back against the tree, and closed his eyes.

Zi Ling also flew out from the tree trunk and landed on Lin Chen's shoulder, gently rubbing her little head against his cheek.
