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

The next morning, just as dawn broke, Lin Chen woke up on time.

Outside the window, the world was already frozen. Although the snowfall had lessened, the windows were covered with thick frost, obscuring the harsh cold outside.

The room was warm and cozy, filled with a subtle woody scent and the cozy warmth of the blankets.

Jiang Yingxue was already awake, propping her head up on her side, her cheeks slightly flushed as she looked at him, her voice as soft as silk soaked with water: "Husband, you're awake."

Lin Chen's heart softened, and he reached out to pinch her rosy cheek, feeling the delicate and warm touch from his fingertips.

Seeing her shy and affectionate appearance, I couldn't help but lean down and kiss her lips—it was a light kiss, but it carried an undeniable sense of possession.

This made Jiang Yingxue's face burn instantly. She hurriedly shrank into his arms, burying her face in his chest like a frightened kitten, not daring to look up.

Lin Chen chuckled, about to tease her again, when a crisp, mocking laugh came from beside him:

"Ha! Sister, you and your husband were having an affair and you didn't even tell me?"

Jiang Yingyue had woken up at some point, her eyes half-closed, a sly smile playing on her lips, her words full of teasing.

Lin Chen wouldn't show favoritism; he reached out and pulled her into his arms as well.

An hour later, the three of them reluctantly parted ways.

As Jiang Yingyue tidied her messy hair, she muttered to herself, "Isn't there a saying that 'there are only oxen that die from exhaustion, not land that gets ruined from plowing'? Why do I feel like this piece of land is about to be plowed to pieces today..."

Jiang Yingxue frowned as she listened, her ears turning bright red. She lowered her head, not daring to reply—she wasn't as bold as her younger sister, who dared to say anything out loud.

Lin Chen raised an eyebrow, deliberately leaned close to her ear, and whispered, "Don't you even know what kind of ability your husband has, and what kind of ability you have yourself?"

His words made the two sisters glare at him angrily, but they couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Then, as if remembering something, Lin Chen took out two crystals from his spatial storage, each one translucent and emitting a soft green light, and handed them to them: "One for each of you, eat them."

Jiang Yingyue took it and examined it curiously: "What is this?"

"Life Crystals," Lin Chen explained, "can elevate your life level and also propel your ability levels to breakthroughs."

"Isn't this a Creation Crystal?" Jiang Yingyue examined the warm, smooth crystal in her hand, her eyes filled with surprise.

"Of course not." Lin Chen nodded. "Creation Crystals help people awaken, while Life Crystals help people evolve. You have already awakened, and your abilities are at Grade A. With it, your abilities have the potential to evolve to Grade S."

The two sisters were stunned, and then their eyes welled up with tears.

They thought the Creation Crystal was already an incredible blessing, but they never expected that Lin Chen would have such a divine object in his possession!

Jiang Yingyue suddenly pounced on him and hugged him tightly, kissing him several times on the face: "Honey! I love you to death! I want to give you a bunch of little monkeys!"

Jiang Yingxue didn't say anything, but she hugged him tightly, her cheek pressed against his chest, her silence speaking volumes.

Lin Chen smiled and put his hands on their shoulders, deliberately putting on a stern face: "Alright, alright, if you keep fooling around, you really won't be getting out of bed today. You can just lie here until dinner."

Without further hesitation, the two swallowed the Life Crystals. Soon after, their lives seemed to be elevated; not only were their physiques reshaped, but their supernatural abilities also broke through, both reaching S-rank.

Overjoyed, the two couldn't help but hug Lin Chen again, jumping and skipping.

After a long while, the three of them composed themselves, dressed neatly, and went downstairs.

The twins were still a little weak in the legs and staggered a few times. It was only thanks to Lin Chen supporting them steadily, one in each hand, that they didn't embarrass themselves on the stairs.

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

The underground restaurant was already bustling with activity.

Li Ya, Su Yun, Liu Feifei, and others sat around a table, and all eighty-five new team members who joined yesterday were also present.

The steaming porridge and the crispy bread warmed the air, and the food's comforting warmth dispelled the chill etched into the very bones of this apocalyptic winter.

Lin Chen walked to Li Ya's side and took out a full one hundred Creation Spirit Crystals from his spatial storage.

"Xiaoya, distribute the materials first so everyone can awaken as soon as possible. After that, you can set off according to plan."

Li Ya solemnly accepted the gift and stood up to begin distributing the Creation Crystals.

The old rule still applies – combat positions take priority, followed by logistical support.

The new team members were overjoyed: they had only joined yesterday, and the promise had already been fulfilled today.

This efficiency and trustworthiness are truly admirable.

A low murmur arose from the crowd; some clenched their fists, while others quietly wiped away tears.

One hundred more A-level ability members will be added to the team!

Li Ya reassigned the hundred people to the previous teams based on their types of superpowers.

The support team members were handed over to Su Yun, including the five cooks from yesterday. Although they had awakened decent combat abilities, their roles were special, so they were also assigned to Su Yun's team.

After Li Ya finished dividing the groups, Lin Chen looked around at everyone and said, "As planned, one group will stay behind to guard the base, and the other nine groups will head to the nine universities in the university town. Objective: Search and rescue survivors and clear out zombies. Supplies will be provided as they come. Remember—safety first, do not be reckless, and do not venture too far alone."

He paused, then added, "I'll provide you with snowmobiles later. Nine teams, nine universities, two people per snowmobile, with empty seats in the back—for fashion crew when we get back."

Zhou Xiaomin raised her hand, her brows slightly furrowed: "Brother Lin, none of us have ever driven a snowmobile before..."

Lin Chen chuckled: "Drive like any other car. The roads are so empty you could ride a horse across them, are you really worried about crashing? Do you think traffic cops will come to check you for violations?"

Everyone burst into laughter, and the tense atmosphere immediately eased.

After breakfast, Lin Chen followed Li Ya out of the warm underground base and arrived at the outer perimeter of the shelter.

The full power of the blizzard that had raged all night was now on full display.

The entire campsite has been transformed into a silent ice and snow kingdom, with only varying shades of white remaining between heaven and earth.

The roof of the container house was covered with a thick layer of snow, which appeared to be more than half a meter thick.

Most of the survivors huddled in their temporary shelters, struggling to maintain their body temperature with the help of electric heaters and down comforters that had been distributed earlier.

Although these life-saving supplies were registered under each person's name on credit, Zhou Tiannian was the guarantor.

Faced with bone-chilling cold and the struggle for survival, no one cared about the numbers on the ledger.

With a slight thought, dozens of ruggedly designed snowmobiles with wide tracks appeared out of thin air on the cleared ground.

The metal tracks crunched over the fluffy, fresh snow, their cold, solid gleaming against the pale backdrop.

This scene immediately caused a sensation in the outer city area.

The survivors peeked out from under doors, through windows, and even by lifting heavy windproof curtains, their faces filled with shock and disbelief.

"A snowmobile?! In Guangzhou?! Am I hallucinating from the cold?"

"My goodness... Is the City Lord a god? How can he have so many of these things that are only used once every eight hundred years in the South?"

"He's our savior! Absolutely! If it weren't for being here last night, with food, clothes, and heating, I would have frozen solid!"

"I need to tell my sister right away, she's still alive! As long as we can get into the inner city, there's hope!"

Lin Chen's strength once again shocked everyone. Countless people exclaimed in amazement, were overjoyed, and contacted other relatives and friends.
