The Collapse Begins in Changkong City

Kevin looked at his girlfriend: "May, let's go check on things, just in case..."

Mei nodded. "Okay, let's follow them." The two followed.

Mobius Laboratory

Inside the life support pod

After a few minutes of recovery, Wang Tang discovered that this place did not cause any harm to her body; on the contrary, it was providing her with nutrition.

Wang Tang thought to herself: Why does my body feel like it hasn't been active for a long time?

Just then, a voice he longed for echoed in his mind, "Host, what's going on? Why couldn't I contact you before?"

Upon hearing the voice, Wang Tang exclaimed excitedly, "System, you're still alive? Where did you go before? Why couldn't I contact you?"

"Host, do you know how much I worried about you when you were unconscious for so long? And why did your consciousness almost completely disappear before?"

Wang Tang said in surprise, "What? I fainted? No, no, I was clearly taken away by a mysterious person, right?"

"Host, have you gone dazed from sleeping? You've been sleeping in this life support pod the whole time, haven't you?"

"System, don't you believe me? Look at my strength, isn't there a noticeable change?"

Wang Tang's power began to activate, and with just a single finger, she shattered the world's hardest glass into pieces.

Cang Xuan, who was observing from a distance, was startled and asked, "What's going on? Why is the glass of the life support pod shattered into pieces?"

The system carefully sensed Wang Tang's current strength and was surprised to find that his host was not lying; his strength had indeed improved.

"Host, are you saying it's true? Why can't even I sense it?"

The system was extremely puzzled as to what kind of being could take away its host's consciousness right under its nose.

Just then, Danzhu boldly approached the life support chamber and whispered, "Brother Wang Tang, is that you?"

Wang Tang looked at the person outside with some confusion. "It's me."

Cang Xuan was stunned for a moment after seeing Wang Tang's reply, then tears streamed down his face. "Brother Wang Tang, you've finally woken up!" Cang Xuan rushed forward and hugged Wang Tang tightly. "Do you know how worried we were about you during the year you were in a coma?"

"Uh, what? How long do you mean?" Wang Tang looked at Cang Xuan, who was holding her, in disbelief.

"A year? Is that all?" Cang Xuan asked in confusion.

Wang Tang thought to herself: Impossible! I've only been there for 15 days, so why is Cang Xuan telling me that I've been in a coma for a year?

"The host is right, you were indeed in a coma for a year."

Wang Tang asked tremblingly, "A year... how is Mebius?"

Cang Xuan wiped away his tears and said, "The doctor is on her way to the laboratory."

Wang Tang breathed a sigh of relief. "Cang Xuan, help me to a seat."

Upon hearing this request, Cang Xuan quickly helped me up and headed outside.

ten minutes later

The laboratory door opened, and a figure rushed into the laboratory, seeing the man she had been longing for day and night sitting there alive.

Mebius stood there, stunned, tears streaming down his face and falling to the floor.

Wang Tang sensed someone watching him and turned to look at the stunned Mebius.

Wang Tang stood up and walked towards Möbius. As she approached, she embraced her. "I'm back."

Mebius could no longer hold back and threw herself into the man's arms, bursting into tears.

Wang Tang gently patted Mebius's back. Neither of them said a word, but their actions spoke volumes.

At this moment, Cangxuan and Danzhu tactfully retreated outside the laboratory, and then they discovered a man and a woman walking out of the laboratory.

Danzhu and Cangxuan asked in unison, "Kevin, Dr. Mei, why are you here?"

“We were about to have a meeting, but we noticed that Mebius was leaving in a hurry. We were worried that something might happen to her, so we followed her.”

May nodded and then asked, "What happened inside? Why is Möbius so agitated...?"

Danzhu explained to the two what had happened inside.

..............

Mebius released his hands, looked at the man in front of him, and said with a hint of grievance.

"Little mouse, you have no idea how many times Mei and I were assassinated by those old guys from the Fire Moths in the past year. Fortunately, Mei's little follower helped us thwart most of the assassination attempts."

A cold glint appeared in Wang Tang's eyes. Originally, he didn't want to kill those disgusting high-ranking officials so quickly, but now he changed his mind.

Wang Tang didn't let Möbius see through her act. After calming herself down, Wang Tang listened attentively to what Möbius had to say.

Mebius continued to talk, “Little mouse, you don’t know that I almost died once, but luckily I had your crystal chain.” Mebius fiddled with the exquisite necklace around his neck.

"I thought all those stories you told me were lies! I never imagined that what you said about this thing protecting me in a critical moment was true!"

Seeing that Mebius was gradually recovering, Wang Tang felt relieved.

"Hehe, I was telling the truth back then, but you always thought I was just joking, Mebius."

Wang Tang stroked Mebius's slightly disheveled hair and said with heartache, "You must have suffered a lot this year; even your hair is a bit messy."

"No way... I said I washed my hair yesterday, so it shouldn't be a bit messy today. It must be from the sweat I wore when I ran back."

Seeing Möbius's expression, Wang Tang burst into laughter.

"It's okay, it's okay, I like you no matter what, and I actually quite like how Möbius looks when he's nervous."

Mebius then realized that Wang Tang was teasing her, and she stomped her foot angrily, saying...

"They used almost half of their research institute's funds to save you, and now you're laughing at me? I'm ignoring you!"

Mebius turned his head away angrily, a scene that Wang Tang interpreted as him saying, "Hurry up and coax me, or I'll ignore you."

Wang Tang smiled apologetically at Mebius and said, "Okay, okay, I know I was wrong, I'm sorry."

Mebius was secretly pleased, but still turned his head to the other half.

Wang Tang knew that Mebius must be very worried about her after being unconscious for so long.

Wang Tang picked up Mebius in a princess carry, which startled her.

"What...what are you going to do?" Möbius said, blushing. "Why are you hugging me now? It's so embarrassing!"

Wang Tang carried her to the sofa, then sat down and placed Mebius on the sofa in a sleeping position, with Mebius's head resting on her thigh.

Then Wang Tang started to coax Mebius to sleep. Wang Tang could tell from the dark circles under Mebius's eyes that she must have stayed up a lot of nights in the past year.

Half an hour later

Wang Tang smiled as he looked at the sleeping Mebius, vowing to make those who dared to harm Mebius and his companions pay the price.
