Reborn in 2014: A One-Man Tycoon

Although Lin Zhou and Wei Ping were descendants of the Green Gang.

But they are, after all, government officials.

Their wedding should have been applied for through the organization.

However, they may not have the chance to return to the organization alive.

To avoid any regrets, they boldly prayed that Meng Chuan would grant them a marriage.

Meng Chuan was also taken aback by Lin Zhou's sudden request.

He then knelt down and reached out to help the two people up.

In this moment of life and death, the desire to "confirm each other" is more touching than any grand words.

"it is good."

Meng Chuan's voice was a little hoarse, but exceptionally clear:

"I will grant you this marriage."

The square fell silent instantly, and all eyes were on the young couple.

Prince Fu stepped forward and took out a warm, smooth jade pendant from his pocket.

That was the Green Gang token he had worn for decades, which he gently placed in Lin Zhou's hand:

"This jade has accompanied me through countless battles. Today, I present it as a gift to wish you both peace and safety wherever you are in the future."

Yingdie turned and ran into the storage room next door, and came out a moment later carrying a white bed sheet.

She folded the bed sheet in half, carefully creating layers of folds, and draped it over Wei Ping's shoulders:

"If you don't have a wedding dress, these clean sheets will do as your wedding gown."

Wei Ping touched the "wedding dress" on her shoulder, tears suddenly falling, but she smiled and said "thank you".

The younger team members also got moving.

Someone took a few fruit candies out of their pocket and stuffed them into Wei Ping's hand:

"The troupe leader said this was brought from Earth, it's sweet, and it can be used as wedding candy."

Someone drew a simple "囍" character on a piece of cardboard with a marker.

It was pasted on the pipe in the center of the square.

Some people even started humming an off-key version of the "Wedding March".

At first there were only a few people, but more and more people joined later.

The hoarse singing voice echoed in the underground castle, sounding exceptionally beautiful.

Meng Chuan stood in front of the "囍" character, acting as the officiant.

He looked at Lin Zhou and Wei Ping, and his eyes also felt a little hot:

"Lin Zhou, Wei Ping, today, under Mars, in front of all your comrades, are you willing to take each other as husband and wife, and to stay with each other forever, regardless of life or death, whether you stay on Mars or return to Earth?"

Lin Zhou nodded vigorously, his voice trembling with excitement:

"I'm willing! Even if I die on the battlefield tomorrow, I'll have no regrets if I can marry Wei Ping!"

Wei Ping wiped away her tears, looked up into Lin Zhou's eyes, and said, word by word:

"I do. I only wish to marry Lin Zhou in this life, and I will have no regrets even if it means death."

Since they didn't have rings, they held each other's hands even tighter.

Lin Zhou put the jade pendant given to him by the Prince of Fu around Wei Ping's neck, and Wei Ping stuffed a piece of fruit candy into Lin Zhou's mouth.

The sweetness melted on Lin Zhou's tongue, and his eyes suddenly reddened. He reached out and pulled Wei Ping into his arms.

"Very well, today, let Mars be the matchmaker, and let war be the celebration, to bestow marriage upon you two. First bow to heaven and earth."

Meng Chuan said loudly.

Meng Chuan never imagined that one day he would be acting as a master of ceremonies.

The two immediately knelt down and bowed towards the entrance of the passage.

"Two thanks to the high hall."

Meng Chuan's second voice rang out:

"If you don't mind, Yingdie and I will act as your parents."

“We are all orphans, the Green Gang is our home, and the gang leader should be our elder.”

With that, the two bowed deeply to Meng Chuan and Ying Die.

"Husband and wife bow to each other."

Meng Chuan spoke again, and the two bowed deeply.

"The ceremony is completed and sent to the bridal chamber."

As Meng Chuan uttered his final cry, the audience erupted in enthusiastic applause.

Some people smiled while wiping away tears, while others patted the shoulder of the person next to them.

Prince Fu watched this scene and a long-lost smile appeared on his lips.

Yingdie stood beside Meng Chuan and quietly took his hand. The warmth of her fingertips warmed Meng Chuan's heart.

Meng Chuan stepped forward and patted Lin Zhou on the shoulder:

"Treat her well. Once we win and return to Earth, I'll give you a proper wedding."

"Thank you, boss!"

Lin Zhou released Wei Ping, and the two bowed deeply to Meng Chuan.

The wedding was very short, lasting only ten minutes, with no elaborate ceremony and no expensive gifts.

But everyone present remembered it.

However, there was no "bridal chamber".

After the ceremony, everyone busied themselves checking their equipment.

Researchers continued to debug the underground castle's protective system.

Only a few crooked "囍" characters remained pasted on the pipes, becoming the warmest bright spot in this tense preparation.

Unlike everyone else who were busy, Meng Chuan and Ying Die were quite "leisurely".

The two walked side by side to the screen, looking at the red Martian surface transmitted back by the camera.

Yingdie leaned on Meng Chuan's shoulder and whispered:

"That's good. Even if there's going to be a war tomorrow, at least they're happy now."

Meng Chuan nodded:

"We will win."

Meng Chuan said softly.

It was as if he was speaking to Yingdie, and also as if he was speaking to himself.

As night deepened, the lights in the underground castle remained bright.

Everyone is still busy.

Because everyone knows that tomorrow might be the last day.

The more they prepare, the more opportunities they have.

No one backed down.

Because they all know they are not fighting for themselves.

They must fight for their families on Earth, for the future of humanity, for that brief but heartwarming wedding—for everything worth protecting.

Finally, the Martian sun rose.

And their battle is about to begin.

At this point, everyone had stopped what they were doing.

They all stood at the sound of Meng Chuan and Ying Die, looking at the big screen and at the space outside Mars.

"coming."

Zhan Yi's voice suddenly rang out, and everyone's heart clenched.

Above the Martian atmosphere, the observer mothership has reached the edge of the atmosphere!

On the screen, a silver mothership hovered in the sky like a giant beast.

Its body, ten times larger than an engineering ship, blotted out the sky.

Even through the screen, he exudes a palpable sense of oppression.

"All spacecraft are prohibited from taking off, or they will be shot down."

The observer's warning, transmitted through public channels, was cold and emotionless:

"There will be discomfort when the artificial magnetic field is activated. Stay underground and do not come out. No open flames are allowed, or you will be killed without mercy."

As soon as he finished speaking, a large amount of gas suddenly spewed out from the stern of the observer's mothership.

It's hydrogen.

The colorless and odorless gas gradually condensed under the sunlight.

When the concentration reaches a certain level, it forms a layer of pale white mist.

It's like a thin veil covering Mars.

"The hydrogen concentration is soaring! It has reached 18%!"

Zhan Yi looked at the values ​​on the atmospheric monitoring instrument, his voice filled with excitement.

"The methane concentration is also stable at 5%, which could detonate at any time!"

Meng Chuan stared at the mothership on the screen, his fingers clenched into a tight fist.

The magnetic confinement device is slowly descending, getting closer and closer to the ground—the moment when the observers are most relaxed.

"Battle One, prepare."
