Reborn in 2014: A One-Man Tycoon

The online debate has been going on for over a month.

The debate among overseas netizens has intensified.

Some people are fixated on the title of "Ball-Protecting General," while others repeatedly mention "Spiritual Leader."

Officials from various countries have remained silent.

Because everyone knows that the outcome of this argument will only end when Meng Chuan wakes up.

Meanwhile, the changes on Mars have already been dramatic.

Zhan Yi and his Green Gang disciples stood guard beside the wreckage of the Observer mothership.

The Martian surface, once covered in dust, is now dotted with lakes.

The massive explosion shattered the underground ice layer, and the heat from the volcanic eruption melted the solid water.

The rising water vapor eventually turned into rain.

The Martian atmosphere was refreshed by the rain.

Although a large amount of dust still accumulates in space.

However, it has thinned out considerably and no longer blocks out the sky.

At least sunlight could penetrate the atmosphere and reach the surface of Mars.

With atmospheric circulation becoming more stable, people on Mars can now move around during the day wearing only a light jacket.

That massive explosion unexpectedly altered the Martian atmosphere.

The effect is better than the artificial atmosphere before Zero.

Rain fell and formed numerous rivers and lakes on the surface of Mars.

However, the water in these rivers and lakes is not currently drinkable.

Because there are too many toxic substances.

It needs to be strictly filtered before it can be consumed.

Over the course of more than a month, the transport ship piloted by Yingdie delivered a large amount of supplies.

They also sent a large number of elite warriors from the Battle Hall, including Bi Wang, Zhan San, and Zhan Qi, to Mars.

Because they need to guard the mothership, wary of the sudden appearance of Zero.

As long as Zero is alive, the threat to Earth will always remain.

Especially the mothership, which contains a large amount of advanced technology and weapons.

If these things fall into Zero's hands, he alone could potentially destroy the entire Earth.

Therefore, most of the Green Gang's strongest members went to Earth.

Just as Meng Chuan said before he fell into a coma, we cannot let our brothers' sacrifices be in vain.

Only by protecting the mothership can the threat from Zero be minimized.

Besides zero, a large number of scientists were sent to Mars by Shadow Butterfly.

The transport ship was also given to Meng Chuan by Zero, with the purpose of making it easier for Meng Chuan to transport the "living prototype" to him.

Now it has become a tool for Shadow Butterflies to transport supplies and people.

Scientists need to disassemble the mothership and decipher its technology.

"Everyone must be on high alert."

Beside the mothership, Zhan Yi spoke to everyone with a wary expression:

"Zero is definitely still around, and he might be keeping an eye on the progress of cracking the mothership."

These powerful members of the Green Gang set up camp around the mothership.

Bi Wang leaned against the metal hull of the mothership, toying with a dagger in his hand:

"How's it going with the hacking team? How much of the Observer's core technology have they acquired?"

"There has been almost no progress. The mothership's energy core has been destroyed, and a lot of data has been locked."

Zhan Yi said with a hint of helplessness:

"This mothership is too rigid; we can't even disassemble it."

The best way to guard against Zero would have been to dismantle the mothership.

Once it's disassembled into parts, even if none of them appear, there's no way to take the mothership.

Unfortunately, the mothership was made of an unknown material.

They tried every method imaginable, even resorting to explosives.

But they couldn't even blow the door open.

They could only remotely decipher some of the mothership's signals, hoping to gain control of the mothership.

Bi Wang nodded silently, but a sense of unease lingered in his heart.

The troupe leader is still asleep, and Zero could appear at any moment.

Without the troupe leader, even Prince Bi seemed to have lost his backbone.

In the special care ward of the Beijing Aerospace Center, time seemed to be slowed down.

Liu Qian sat by the hospital bed, holding a warm towel in her hand, gently wiping the back of Meng Chuan's hand.

For the past month, she has hardly left her ward.

He was so thin he was unrecognizable, and the dark circles under his eyes were so heavy they couldn't be concealed.

But Liu Qian still talked to Meng Chuan every day, from the corn at home to the children.

The conversation shifted from the situation on Mars to the online debates.

"Mars sent another message today, saying that there's still no progress on the mothership's energy core, and Bi Wang and the others don't know what to do! Meng Chuan, we're all waiting for you to wake up and make a decision!"

Liu Qian pressed her face against the back of Meng Chuan's hand, her voice tired but still gentle:

"When are you going to wake up...? We're all waiting for you to get up and make a decision!"

Liu Qian kept talking and talking.

Because, as Hua Lao said, the only way is to keep talking to Meng Chuan.

Perhaps only then can his will to survive be stimulated, and Meng Chuan be awakened more quickly.

Therefore, Liu Qian almost always has to talk herself hoarse every day.

As soon as he finished speaking, a soft footstep sound came from behind him.

Liu Qian thought it was a nurse and didn't turn around, until a familiar yet unfamiliar voice rang out:

"Qian'er, I'm back."

Liu Qian suddenly looked up and froze on the spot.

The woman standing in front of me was wearing a simple white shirt.

Her long hair was tied into a ponytail.

Her face bore a hint of travel fatigue, yet her beautiful features remained undeniable...

"Yiyi, you..."

Liu Qian rubbed her eyes, but couldn't say anything for a moment.

This was her former college classmate, who later became her best friend.

The last time we met was thirteen years ago.

Chen Yiyi's head was split open while trying to save Meng Chuan.

It took two craniotomies to save his life.

But after waking up, Chen Yiyi seemed like a completely different person.

He suddenly left without saying goodbye and immigrated to the United States.

From then on, she and Chen Yiyi had less and less contact.

Liu Qian often takes the initiative to call Chen Yiyi, but she doesn't answer.

Even if they accept the call, they won't be able to talk about anything like before.

In fact, she and Meng Chuan were able to get together thanks to Chen Yiyi's amazing help.

Liu Qian also pressed Chen Yiyi about her location in the United States.

But Chen Yiyi has remained silent about it.

The last time Liu Qian contacted Chen Yiyi, she only guessed that Chen Yiyi was pregnant.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yiyi suddenly returned to China and appeared here.

“I was once lying in the hospital, and Meng Chuan took care of me day and night. This time he has become a hero, and I should come back to take care of him.”

Chen Yiyi said with a somewhat unnatural expression.

This was an excuse she had thought of for a whole month before she finally mustered the courage to stand in front of Liu Qian.

Since learning that Meng Chuan was seriously injured and in a coma, Chen Yiyi has been unable to sleep at night and has been suffering greatly.

Countless times she wanted to see Meng Chuan, but she was afraid to face Liu Qian.

However, after a month, she simply couldn't control her emotions.

Especially after watching the video of Meng Chuan's last words to her during the third battle.

She couldn't wait to fly back to China immediately.

Even today, no matter if Liu Qian hits or scolds her, she will still come back.

Liu Qian suddenly stepped forward, hugged Chen Yiyi, and said while crying:

"Yiyi, tell me quickly, how have you been all these years? And why were you so heartless as to abandon me... Waaah..."
