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

Hearing Zera say this, Lin Chen looked at her with suspicion, waiting for her to continue.

Zera didn't keep them in suspense and slowly said, "Mr. Lin, our Deepsea race has a special talent called Sea Soul Attraction—we can attract sea beasts by emitting a special sound wave."

An adult deep-sea diver can attract marine life within a radius of ten thousand meters. We've tested this before, and it's also effective against these zombie sea monsters on Earth.

Upon hearing Zera's words, Lin Chen's eyes lit up.

He had been trying to clean up the marine mammals, but the biggest challenge was how to gather them from the deep seabed.

He had calculated that, throughout the entire country of China, he had harvested zombies and zombie beasts almost a year in advance, and only then had he accumulated more than 300 million crystal cores.

Although he has begun to expand globally, countless zombies are being cleared out by survivors in various places every day, so the number of crystal cores that actually end up in his hands is probably unlikely to reach two billion.

Unexpectedly, the Deep Diver possesses such talent. With the addition of the Ocean Zombie Beasts, he has a good chance of raising two billion and upgrading Zi Ling to the ninth rank.

When Gar arrives, he will be more confident.

Lin Chen stood up excitedly, his voice rising several decibels: "Chief Zera, you've saved me from my immediate crisis!"

He took a deep breath, suppressed his surging emotions, sat down again, and stared intently at Zera.

"How wide is the area covered by this Sea Soul Guide? How long does it last at once? What kind of strain does it put on the caster?"

Seeing that he asked detailed questions, Zera did not hold back and answered them one by one: "The sound waves emitted by an adult Deep One can cover an area of ​​10,000 meters. If multiple members of the tribe cast spells at the same time, the range can be multiplied."

The duration depends on the caster's stamina; generally, three to four hours is fine. The main drain is on mental and physical energy, which can be recovered with a day's rest.

Lin Chen nodded, then asked, "How many adult warriors in your clan are capable of casting spells?"

Zera thought for a moment: "About three thousand five hundred people. I can send three hundred to assist you."

Lin Chen understood; the other party had previously stated that they now only had a little over five thousand members left.

The number of over three thousand adults is likely accurate. The fact that a team of three hundred people was sent to assist suggests that the mission was both a test and an attempt to deepen cooperation.

Moreover, the other party has put everything out in the open, which is indeed a cooperative attitude.

Three hundred men, covering a range large enough to lure out sea monsters within a radius of hundreds of nautical miles, would be more than enough for him.

Lin Chen quickly calculated in his mind, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up slightly.

"Chief Zera, it's settled then. You will send three hundred men to help me lure out the sea monsters, and my men will handle the cleanup. Give me a list of any supplies you need, and I will supply them regularly."

Zera nodded, a hint of gratitude flashing in her eyes: "Mr. Lin, rest assured, please stay here for a day. I'll go and make the arrangements right away."

Zera got up, gave Polni a few instructions, and then left the room alone to make arrangements on his own.

His back was somewhat hunched, but his steps were quick, clearly indicating that he took this matter very seriously.

After Zera left, only Polni was left in the room, so Lin Chen chatted with him using his mental powers.

Only then did he inquire about Polni's identity. He never expected that this young man, who looked to be only in his early twenties, was actually over two thousand years old, the youngest son of Zera, and one of the young patriarchs of the Deep Ones.

The burly man who resembled an instructor that he met downstairs was his elder brother, Dorje, who was also the first successor to the clan chief.

"Then why did you personally lead the team to fight the Sea Serpent Clan, and even planned to perish together with the Divine Envoy?" Lin Chen asked.

Polney calmly replied, "If I don't go, who will? For us Deep Ones, the current situation of the chief and the young chief is more of a responsibility than a right or a privilege."

He spoke calmly, but his eyes were firm.

Lin Chen nodded upon hearing this. This spirit of being willing to sacrifice for their race in critical moments is perhaps the key reason why the Deep Ones have been able to escape the gods' pursuit and continue to this day.

Soon after, Zela returned, followed by Polni's elder brother, Dorje.

Dorje was a size larger than Polni, with darker scales and a steady gaze. His eyes scrutinized Lin Chen, but there was no longer any hostility in them.

"Mr. Lin, the warriors of the tribe have been chosen. We just hope you can give them some time to say goodbye to their families." Zera's voice was a little hoarse.

"Of course." Lin Chen nodded. "Chief Zera can also see what supplies you need, and I can resupply you with a batch first."

Zera was taken aback. They hadn't offered Lin Chen any help yet, and the other party was already willing to pay him.

He was deeply moved by this trust. He grasped Lin Chen's hand with trembling hands, and even the scales on his face turned slightly red: "Thank you, Mr. Lin."

Lin Chen waved his hand. The other party had already shown sincerity, so he naturally had to show sincerity in return.

The four arrived at the warehouse, which was located on one side of the downstairs hall. The stone door was heavy, and after pushing it open, the interior space was quite large, but empty, with only a few tools made of sea animal bones scattered in the corner.

When Lin Chen followed Zera and Polni out, the hall was already full of Deep Ones.

They stood in a quiet line, their eyes all fixed on Lin Chen.

Lin Chen walked to the center of the warehouse and, based on the list provided by Zera, continuously released supplies from his spatial storage.

Bundles of cotton-padded clothes and quilts, boxes of compressed biscuits, bags of rice, baskets of fresh vegetables and fruits...

The supplies poured out like water, quickly filling half the warehouse.

The Deep Ones watching the spectacle behind them stared wide-eyed.

Although the chieftain had informed everyone that the Deep Ones had found an ally, and that all they needed to do was send three hundred people to support them, in return the ally would provide them with unlimited clothing and food.

But seeing so many supplies piled up in front of them still deeply shocked them.

Some people whispered among themselves, some reached out and touched the brightly colored cotton coat, and some squatted down to smell the fresh scent of fruit, their eyes slightly reddening.

They had been hiding for 300,000 years and had never seen so many or such wonderful things.

Zera stood in front of the pile of supplies, her lips trembling slightly, her somewhat cloudy eyes reflecting the colorful array of items.

Polney squatted beside a basket of apples, reached out and picked one up, examining it closely as if it were a rare treasure.

Dorje didn't move, but his fists were clenched tightly, and his gaze toward Lin Chen was full of gratitude.

Lin Chen didn't say anything, but continued to take things out of his space, quickly filling the first warehouse to the brim.

Zera quickly led him to the second warehouse, which Lin Chen filled up again.

He continued until all eight warehouses of the Deep Ones were completely stuffed with airtight materials before he stopped.

The Deep Ones behind them were already completely silent.

It's unclear who started it, but all the Deep Ones crossed their arms and bowed deeply to Lin Chen.

There was no applause, no cheers, only silent respect.

That was the first time in 300,000 years that they bowed their backs to an outsider.

Lin Chen simply waved his hand, turned around, and followed Zera and Polni across the square toward a stone chamber prepared especially for him.

After Zera and the others left, he used his divine power to seal the door, and with a thought, he disappeared into the stone chamber.

......

On Creation Island, the setting sun paints the island's green grass in warm yellow and crimson hues.

When Lin Chen arrived in the small town on the island, he saw Anna and Tang Xiaoran sitting on the grass, chatting and laughing.
