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

The next morning, Lin Chen left the Creation Pearl and went to Shanghai alone.

The scorching sun had only just risen in the east when you could already feel its intense heat.

He randomly chose a spot in the sea and released the aircraft carrier that the small fish had modified.

The massive ship crashed, causing the entire sea to surge with waves.

Once it touched the sea surface, the aircraft carrier began to slowly move forward. This type of nuclear-powered aircraft carrier starts very slowly, usually taking several hours. In order not to affect the morning's journey, Xiaoyu had already started the nuclear reactor in advance.

He darted to the command center on the island superstructure.

Lin Chen commanded, "Little Fish, set sail! Destination: the island nation!"

"Understood, Dad!"

The aircraft carrier then slowly started moving, and after half an hour, it reached its maximum speed of about 30 knots.

Seeing the aircraft carrier begin to move, Lin Chen casually asked, "How long will it take for Little Fish to reach the island nation?"

The virtual image of the little fish floated on the screen of the command cabin and reported in a clear voice: "Dad, it is estimated that it will take about fifteen hours to arrive at the port of Saitsu in the island nation around 11 p.m.

Lin Chen nodded, the ship's horn sounded, and the giant ship sailed away from the coast, heading east.

The azure sea stretched to the horizon as the aircraft carrier cleaved through the waves, leaving a long white contrail behind it.

He stood by the window of the ship's island, watching the land outline gradually disappear in front of him, feeling a mix of emotions he couldn't quite describe.

For the first time since his rebirth, he left the borders of China, not by plane or ship, but by aircraft carrier, to a place that was both familiar and unfamiliar.

He doesn't know when he'll be able to return to this land again, even though he has taken all his compatriots into his space.

But there are still many relics of our ancestors here, and even memories of everyone.

If he could preserve her, he hoped to protect her. He had asked Zi Ling if she could be stored in the Creation Pearl.

"Yes, but the master needs to reach the eighth rank. Otherwise, the remaining biological will and stellar gravity on the planet will overwhelm the master."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen had no choice but to temporarily give up and focus on hunting for crystal cores...

For the first few hours of the voyage, the sea was calm, with the occasional seabird flying low overhead and emitting sharp cries.

Around noon, the aircraft carrier suddenly shuddered and tilted a few degrees. The teacup on the table slid off the table, but he caught it with lightning speed.

"What's going on?" Lin Chen asked, frowning.

The virtual image of the little fish floated on the screen and reported: "Dad, a large creature has been detected hitting the ship's hull. It is at least thirty meters long and is preliminarily estimated to be a mutated whale or shark."

Lin Chen raised an eyebrow, said nothing, and in a flash appeared on the deck.

On the sea, a huge black shadow was rising from the depths at an astonishing speed, the seawater churning and waves crashing against the ship's hull.

"Daddy, it's here!" Little Fish's voice rang out from the deck loudspeaker.

The sea surface exploded, and a huge shark, over thirty-five meters long, leaped out of the water, its grayish-white belly gleaming coldly in the sunlight.

Its skin is covered with toad-like bumps, its flippers spread out like wings, and its open mouth is full of barbed teeth.

"A fifth-tier zombie shark?" Lin Chen exclaimed in surprise. This was the first time he had ever seen such a creature in his past and present lives.

The zombie shark seemed to have spotted Lin Chen, the "little guy" on the aircraft carrier, and suddenly slapped its tail fin, charging towards Lin Chen.

Lin Chen did not retreat. He casually unleashed a thick bolt of lightning, which slammed into the shark's head as it leaped to its highest point.

Lightning exploded, and arcs of electricity leaped wildly across the shark's body, the charred flesh emitting a pungent odor.

The shark let out a piercing hiss, its body convulsing in mid-air. It veered off course from its initial trajectory toward the deck, its carcass crashing heavily into the sea beside the ship, creating a towering wave.

The aircraft carrier rocked violently, but Lin Chen swiftly landed on the shark's back. He drew his Tang sword, the tip of which pierced deep into the shark's head. With a horizontal pull, a fist-sized crystal core popped out from the crack, which he caught steadily.

Looking at the crystal core in his hand, Lin Chen's eyes gleamed: "The sea is indeed different. We've already encountered a fifth-tier zombie beast just as we set off."

Lin Chen sheathed his Tang sword and flashed back to the command center to ponder.

"There are many of these sea creatures, but most of them live in the sea, making them difficult to clean up and find. Is there any way to lure them out?"

After pondering for a long time without finding a solution, he released Li Ya, Su Yun, Liang Siqi, and the others.

As soon as they stepped outside, they were hit by a wave of intense heat that seemed to distort the air, but none of them showed any signs of discomfort.

They are all SS-level ability users, so this temperature has no effect on them.

"A Tier 5 Zombie Shark?" Li Ya took the crystal core from Lin Chen, examined it closely, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

Liang Siqi opened her tablet and pulled up the sonar scan image transmitted by the little fish. She frowned slightly: "There are many similar creatures in the deep sea, but they don't come up, so we can't kill them."

After a long silence, Su Yun said, "To lure them out, we need to use something they're interested in, like... a living creature!"

Lin Chen thought about it and agreed, his eyes narrowing slightly: "To lure these creatures out of such a vast area of ​​sea, we'd need a considerable number of live animals..."

A hint of cruelty crept into his eyes: "It seems I need to discuss something with Commander Peng and the others, something about recycling waste."

At 11 p.m., the shadow of land finally appeared ahead.

Saitsu Port, on the west coast of Kyushu Island.

The city was devoid of lights in the night, as silent as a graveyard.

Lin Chen told Xiao Yu to stop the boat and not rush to dock. He stood by the window of the island superstructure, gazing at the dark land, silently planning for tomorrow.

The military veterans are still inside; Commander Peng and Commander Zhao are probably getting impatient.

But tonight, he has no intention of letting anyone out.

In unfamiliar territory, under the cover of darkness, it's best to first ascertain the situation before deciding how to fight.

"Little fish, anchor where you are," he ordered, then turned and went back to the rest cabin.

As for resting in the space, he was afraid that if he came out tomorrow, the aircraft carrier would be gone.

The zombie sharks that appeared today could easily capsize an unmanned aircraft carrier.

So he had no choice but to stay and guard the area. Li Ya and the others, fearing he would be lonely, also stayed to keep him company.

He's waiting for him in the rest pod right now.
