Reborn in 2014: A One-Man Tycoon

Outside the hatch, Bi Wang's long sword slashed against the metal hatch again and again, sparks flying everywhere.

But only a few faint traces remained.

Blood Rakshasa's short blade pierced the crack in the door like a gust of wind.

But the hatch was like a welded-on iron wall, completely immovable.

Meng Chuan is currently inside that mothership, and Zero is also inside.

For everyone present, this was worse than the sky falling.

"Boss!"

King Bi's roar was filled with despair.

A small hatch, like an insurmountable chasm.

They separated two worlds.

For the first time, King Bi felt so powerless.

"Prince Bi, don't fight head-on!"

Blood Rakshasa grabbed him, her eyes icy yet tinged with a hint of rationality:

"The mothership is made of a special material, so ordinary attacks are useless. Let's go back to base and get the pulse cannons ready; maybe we can blast it open!"

Blood Rakshasa was, after all, born an assassin.

From a young age, she was taught to remain calm, especially in life-or-death situations.

This is an instinct etched into our genes.

Bi Wang took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

He knew he couldn't panic; Meng Chuan was still inside waiting for them.

He must find a way to save them as soon as possible.

"Alright! You take half the men back to base to move the equipment, and I'll take the rest and guard this place. We absolutely cannot let Zero get out of there again!"

The two immediately split up, while inside the cabin, the atmosphere was already tense.

Ling grabbed Meng Chuan by the collar and threw him onto the cold metal floor.

The mecha's helmet slowly opened, revealing Zero's true appearance.

However, its transparent body didn't appear any different from the other observers.

Inside the mothership, Zero doesn't need to worry about oxygen or gravity.

On the contrary, Meng Chuan's face became increasingly flushed due to the oxygen-free environment.

Ling looked down at Meng Chuan with disdain in her eyes.

Yet there was also a hint of barely perceptible wariness.

He had witnessed Meng Chuan's strength, and even though Meng Chuan looked weak now, he dared not let his guard down.

Give him some oxygen.

Zero suddenly spoke.

"Good host."

A sweet, delicate female voice rang out.

This mothership has an intelligent butler.

As soon as the opening was made, oxygen immediately gathered and did not disperse in the area where Meng Chuan was located.

Although Meng Chuan didn't know how this was done.

But being able to breathe freely, Meng Chuan immediately began to breathe deeply and greedily.

"Meng Chuan, it's been a long time."

Zero's voice, transmitted through the mecha's translation equipment, carried a cold, metallic quality:

"Your health doesn't seem to be as good as it used to be."

In the instant of the surprise attack, Zero had already noticed that Meng Chuan's reaction was much slower.

They can't even do the most basic dodge.

This is completely different from the powerful figure who could withstand mechs before.

Meng Chuan got up from the ground, calmed himself down, and dusted himself off.

There was no trace of panic on his face; instead, he smiled calmly.

"Indeed, after my battle with you, I was injured in my vital energy. Now, my body is not even as strong as an ordinary person."

Meng Chuan's composure made Ling frown.

Logically, Meng Chuan should have been panicked after being captured and taken to the mothership.

But Meng Chuan's current demeanor seemed to indicate that he had anticipated this, and even... there was a hint of confidence in his victory.

"Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"

Zero took a step forward, and the mech's energy blade slowly popped out, its cold light pointing directly at Meng Chuan's throat.

"Of course I'm scared, how could I not be?"

Meng Chuan shrugged, his eyes remaining calm:

"But you can't kill me, and you won't kill me, will you?"

"you!"

Zero was momentarily speechless, then became enraged.

The energy blade moved forward a few more inches, almost touching Meng Chuan's skin:

"I can cut you into pieces right now!"

"you will not."

Meng Chuan looked directly into his eyes, his tone resolute:

“If you wanted to kill me, you would have done it at the hatch just now. There was no need to drag me into the mothership.”

Meng Chuan's analysis is not without merit.

If Zero really wanted to kill Meng Chuan, Meng Chuan would have died countless times in that instant.

There was absolutely no need to bring Meng Chuan into the mothership.

Meng Chuan's words were like a sharp knife, piercing Zero's soft spot.

That's right, Zero has other plans; he can't take Meng Chuan's life yet.

However, the feeling of being seen through by Meng Chuan made Ling extremely uncomfortable.

Because he is the higher life form.

Humans, nurtured by a civilization like Earth, should not possess such wisdom.

However, Zero quickly calmed down:

"Indeed, you are different from the humans I know. Could you possibly become the leader of humanity?"

Looking at Meng Chuan with zero appreciation, he said coldly:

"But you don't need to pretend to be calm, you can't fool me!"

"I can monitor your vital signs. Your lifespan is less than half of what it used to be. What makes you think you can fight me?"

"Once I'm fully charged in the mothership, I'll not only kill you, but also slaughter all my subordinates on Mars! After repairing the mothership, one shot will obliterate the Earth!"

"And you..."

Ling looked at Meng Chuan with a cold smile:

"Your body is not bad. With some repairs, it should still be usable. I can even unleash its greater potential."

"Then, I will shatter your soul and implant my memories into your body—I will live on in your place! Using your identity, I will destroy your home planet and make all the people of Earth submit to me!"

Zero's real objective was to capture Meng Chuan.

Zero was truly intimidated by Meng Chuan's power.

You should know that the level 3 mecha he was wearing was an extraordinary treasure even on Karen Star.

Only true generals are entitled to possess this.

However, he was almost killed by Meng Chuan while wearing the mecha.

It is evident that Meng Chuan's body is terrifyingly strong.

If only he had a body like Meng Chuan's, plus a level three mecha.

Even on Karen Star, his personal strength could almost crush everyone.

Therefore, he had to keep Meng Chuan.

However, Zero's words caused Meng Chuan's pupils to shrink suddenly.

"Seize the body?"

This was the first word that popped into Meng Chuan's mind.

He truly hadn't expected that the technology on Planet Karen had reached such a level that it could forcibly take over another person's body!

How is this different from the concept of "body possession" in Chinese mythology?

Seeing Meng Chuan finally show a shocked expression, Zero's lips curled into a cruel smile:

"That's right! Your physical strength is comparable to that of a mecha, making you the perfect vessel! As long as I possess your body, I can not only survive, but also use your ancient martial arts power to fight my way back to Karen Star and reclaim everything that belongs to me!"

As long as Meng Chuan is afraid, Ling will be at ease.

Meng Chuan's confident demeanor made him feel uneasy.

"What? Scared? Heh, it's your honor that your body can become my vessel."

Zero snapped his fingers as he spoke.

Suddenly, the entire mothership lit up.

Inside were all sorts of instruments that Meng Chuan couldn't understand.

"You'd better come with me obediently."

With that, Zero walked straight into the depths of the brightly lit corridor.

Meng Chuan didn't want to leave, but the wisp of oxygen surrounding him drifted away with Ling.

If Meng Chuan didn't keep up, he would immediately feel suffocated.

This immediately gave Meng Chuan a sense of humiliation, like being a puppet.

But Meng Chuan could only obediently follow behind Zero...
