Chapter 703 The Feeling of Being Watched...
When the first Warplane landed on Mars, it saw something that looked like a UFO.
Zhan only told Meng Chuan about this.
Even Shadow Butterfly didn't know.
What Zhan Yi saw and heard made Meng Chuan feel vaguely uneasy.
With the technology and weapons currently available to humankind on Earth.
If aliens really exist, then we absolutely cannot resist them.
Now, WarI has come to Mars for the second time, and has been here for more than half a year.
Meng Chuan was eager to know if the same thing had happened before.
Zhan Yi's smile faded slightly, and he shook his head:
“I haven’t seen him since. During that time, I had my brothers take turns keeping watch and installed a lot of cameras, but we didn’t see a single shadow of him again.”
Zhan Yi scratched his head as he spoke, his tone tinged with uncertainty:
"Maybe it really is like what Engineer Wei said, a geomagnetic storm on Mars. There was indeed a dust storm that night. Maybe it was just an illusion caused by light refraction, and I was mistaken."
Meng Chuan didn't say anything, but simply put the explosives back on the shelf.
He didn't believe it was an illusion.
Zhan Yi is a seasoned ancient martial arts practitioner, whose senses are even more acute than those of wild beasts.
Even if it really is a geomagnetic storm or something else.
The feeling of being "targeted" in Battle One is definitely not wrong.
Actually, the existence of extraterrestrial life is normal.
The universe is so vast, why is it that only Earth has intelligent civilization?
In such a vast universe, it would be unscientific to think that Earth is the only planet with life.
It's like there's only one fish in the ocean.
It's either man-made or virtual.
Therefore, the absence of extraterrestrial life is more terrifying than the presence of extraterrestrial life.
Meng Chuan did not voice these concerns.
Talking about it will only distract the brothers; the most important thing right now is to stabilize the base.
"Let's go check out other places."
Meng Chuan patted Zhan Yi on the shoulder and changed the subject.
As the head of the troupe, Meng Chuan felt obligated to learn about the vast Qinglian Fortress.
Zhan nodded and led them forward again.
There are even more advanced features inside:
An armored vehicle capable of driving on the Martian surface, with thick steel plates welded to its body and puncture-resistant tires.
There are also several small drones with folding wings that can fly through sandstorms.
The innermost room even has a small weapon modification station.
Old Pao and a few others were squatting there tightening screws when they saw them come in, and they quickly stood up.
"Master, you've arrived."
The old man was still holding a piece of parts in his hand:
"I'm modifying the cooling system of the rifle. During the last test firing, I found that after firing twenty rounds in a row, the barrel temperature could soar to 200 degrees Celsius. I need to make some changes."
"Thank you for your hard work. You all go about your business. I just came to visit."
Meng Chuan nodded to them.
Those who can appear here are the true core of the Green Gang.
He is also someone Meng Chuan can absolutely trust.
Meng Chuan looked at the blueprints on the modification table, which were covered with dense lines.
These were all modifications made by veterans based on their experience, and they have a more practical, "unorthodox" feel compared to factory designs.
We walked around for almost an hour until the lights in the passageway went completely dark.
That was the curfew signal for Qinglian Fort.
Everyone except those on duty should rest.
Zhan Yi then led Meng Chuan toward the inhabited fortress.
"The room prepared for you, Master, is in the innermost fortress, with the best view."
Zhan led Meng Chuan and Ying Die to a door.
Pushing open the door, the scene inside made Yingdie let out a soft "Ah!"
This room is more than three times the size of a regular dormitory room.
A bookshelf and a sofa were placed against the wall, and a computer sat on the table.
This computer can monitor everything in the entire Qinglian Fortress.
Furthermore, it can also establish contact with Earth's center of restraint.
The most eye-catching thing is the large bed, with a huge glass dome directly above it.
Outside the glass is the Martian night sky.
The stars are shining brightly right now, much more densely than in Earth's night sky.
It was like a handful of shattered diamonds.
The strangest thing is that among the stars, there are two moons.
Yes, Earth has only one satellite, the Moon.
Mars, however, has two moons, namely Visor and Enceladus.
"This glass is radiation-proof and its transparency can be adjusted."
Zhan Yi pointed smugly to the button on the bedside table:
"I can see the stars while lying in bed. I had it specially set up for me."
“Engineer Wei initially disagreed, saying that it was unsafe to have such a large glass enclosure on the fortress. I talked to her for three days before I finally got her to add three layers of protection.”
It's clear that Zhan Yi had long hoped that Meng Chuan would come here someday.
He went to great lengths to please Meng Chuan.
Meng Chuan walked to the glass dome and looked at the starry sky outside.
The stars were bright, yet they exuded an indescribable sense of desolation.
He glanced at her twice, then turned around and his gaze fell on Yingdie.
Yingdie felt a little uncomfortable under Meng Chuan's gaze and gently smoothed her hair.
These days on the starship, the two of them live in cramped cabins.
I'm always surrounded by people, and I rarely have time to have a proper conversation.
Finally, they had a chance to be alone together.
Meng Chuan was also incredibly frustrated.
"You guys rest first, I won't disturb you any longer."
Zhan Yi was a shrewd man, and he immediately saw through Meng Chuan's restless intentions.
He smiled and left, closing the door behind him.
Only Meng Chuan and Ying Die remained in the room.
Meng Chuan walked over and gently hugged Ying Die from behind.
Her body was very soft, and you could feel her body temperature through the thin clothes.
"Tired?"
Meng Chuan lowered his head, his chin resting on the top of her head.
Yingdie shook her head, wrapped her arms around his waist, and whispered:
"I'm fine. How about you? Didn't you sleep well on the starship?"
Meng Chuan definitely didn't sleep well.
For over a month now, it's either been a cold cabin or a weightless environment at a transit station.
All around me were either the hum of machinery or the footsteps of crew members.
It has never been this quiet before.
"Didn't you say you wanted to try a low-gravity environment? Well then, let's go!"
Meng Chuan suddenly became eager.
He grabbed Yingdie and pounced onto the soft bed.
Yingdie showed no shyness whatsoever.
They responded enthusiastically to Meng Chuan.
No matter how bright the starlight outside the window is, it cannot shine between the two people who are tightly embracing each other at this moment.
At this moment, Meng Chuan didn't want to think about anything.
I don't want to think about the Green Gang's schemes, the dangers of Mars, or even those distant Earths.
He just wanted to hold the beauty in his arms, just like on countless ordinary nights on Earth.
Love well, love with all your might...
However, at the most passionate moment of Meng Chuan and Ying Die's lovemaking.
Above his head.
Suddenly, a beam of light appeared.
The light was directly above Meng Chuan's head.
At this moment, Meng Chuan, who was lying on the bed diligently "working", could not see it.
However, Yingdie, who was lying on her back on the bed, could see it.
However, although Meng Chuan could not see, his body suddenly froze.
Because the feeling of being spied on was too intense.
Just like the description in the original War One.
Meng Chuan looked up almost reflexively.
It was in that very instant when Meng Chuan looked up.
The feeling of being spied on disappeared.
That ray of light also vanished suddenly.
It's like someone suddenly drawing a white horizontal line on a black cloth...
