Chapter 710 The gang leader has disappeared...
The starship and Earth's command center have lost contact.
Yingdie broke out in a cold sweat at this moment.
But no matter how frantically she pounded on the control panel.
But the screen remained completely black, with no response whatsoever.
"The equipment has malfunctioned! None of the devices are responding!"
Yingdie slumped into the chair, almost completely drained of her strength.
Meng Chuan's heart skipped a beat.
He looked at the light outside the porthole; the light still hung quietly, neither approaching nor moving away.
But the instruments on the starship were like soulless corpses, completely rendered useless.
—It didn't attack, but it cut off all their escape routes.
Meanwhile, on Earth, at the rocket company's command center, everything was in chaos.
On the huge screen, the red dot representing Meng Chuan's starship suddenly flashed twice.
It then disappeared completely from the star map of Mars' orbit.
"The signal is down!"
The operator jumped up, his voice trembling:
"The starship's positioning and communication signals are all gone! What happened? How could this be?"
The command center erupted into chaos.
Several henchmen responsible for monitoring frantically adjusted the equipment, their keyboards clattering loudly.
But the screen remained blank.
"Quickly, quickly call the Seventh Commander-in-Chief."
The staff member shouted as if screaming.
After Meng Chuan flew to Mars, Zhan Qi almost completely took over the rocket company.
Because he needed to ensure Meng Chuan's flight safety.
We must eliminate any possibility of anyone secretly causing harm.
The huge command center was filled with members of the Green Gang.
No outsiders are allowed to enter.
Armed guards patrolled outside the gate.
In addition, hundreds of assassins from the Thousand-Faced Asura Hall, led by Blood Rakshasa, were lying in ambush in the shadows.
Many of them were former Rothschild family assassins.
With both overt and covert sentries working together, not even a mosquito could easily fly into the command center.
Such a big matter, no staff member dared to make a decision.
We must notify the commander-in-chief, Zhan Qi, immediately.
Immediately, someone started calling out.
In less than a minute, Zhan Qi rushed into the command center almost like a rocket.
One of their shoes even ran away.
The starship carrying the gang leader has lost signal in space. This is outrageous!
Zhan Qi rushed over as fast as he could after receiving the notification, his forehead still beaded with sweat:
"What are you waiting for? Keep making contact and find the location where the last signal disappeared! Contact the Mars base and ask them if they saw anything unusual about the starship!"
Zhan Qi roared almost hysterically.
Zhan Qi is not a professional scientist.
He also couldn't understand the data on various instruments and equipment.
But he knew that anything could happen to anyone.
Meng Chuan must not be harmed.
Otherwise, the sky will fall.
"It's been checked! It finally disappeared outside of Mars' geosynchronous orbit, about 500,000 kilometers from Mars!"
The operator said urgently:
"We've already contacted Zhan Yi, and he said that they haven't detected any signals since the starship left!"
Zhan Qi walked to the screen, staring at the blank star map, his face ashen.
The starship signal suddenly disappeared; it could be an equipment malfunction, or... He dared not think any further.
"Keep sending signals, once every ten seconds!"
Zhan Qi said in a deep voice:
"Have the technical department check the starship's emergency plan and see if there are any backup communication channels! Also, prepare a ship! If we can't get in touch within two hours, I'm going to fly to Mars myself!"
Perhaps flying there in person wouldn't help.
Meng Chuan's starship is not even a speck of dust in the vast universe.
However, no one in the entire command center dared to speak again, much less refute.
Because at this moment, Zhan Qi was like a furious leopard ready to devour its prey.
The only sounds were the hum of the instruments and the operator's rapid breathing.
Everyone stared at the screen, silently praying over and over again:
Something absolutely must not happen, something absolutely must not happen...
Mars, Qinglian Fortress.
Zhan Yi gripped the communicator, his whole body trembling.
When the signal from the Mengchuan starship was lost at the command center on Earth.
His command center also lost signal immediately.
Moreover, he was even more terrified than Zhan Qi.
Because Zhan Qi didn't know the reason, but he had already thought of a possibility.
Zhan Yi suddenly looked up at the sky. The Martian sky was still a pale pink, so clean it was almost blinding.
"impossible……"
Zhan Yi murmured in a state of near collapse:
"The starship was perfectly fine when it left... Damn it, if you want to come at me, come at me!"
The reason Zhan Yi was about to collapse was because he was completely helpless at that moment.
He suddenly remembered what Meng Chuan had said before he left—"If a fight really breaks out, distant water can't quench a nearby fire."
At the time, he took it as a word of advice, but now he understands that Meng Chuan may have foreseen this day long ago.
"Send a message to Earth, requesting Zhan Yi to continuously send signals to the leader's starship. Send a message to the relay station, requesting Zhan San to continuously send signals to the leader's starship."
Zhan Yi seemed to have made some kind of decision:
"We're also keeping sending signals to the leader. Finally, prepare a starship for me, locate the place where the leader's signal disappeared, I need to depart immediately!"
Zhan Yi knew that going there might not be of any use.
But he had to go.
He was closest to the leader's starship, making positioning easier and more accurate.
It's better than doing nothing and just waiting here.
"Yes, but it takes at least an hour to refuel a starship."
The staff member answered in a few words.
"Saving lives is like putting out a fire. Hurry, I have to leave in an hour. If you can't do it, you will all go to the punishment hall to receive your punishment."
Zhan Yi took a deep breath and roared.
The sound echoed through Qinglian Fortress, causing eardrum pain.
"Yes."
Several staff members immediately got to work.
They all knew that Xingtang was not an easy place to get into.
In particular, for punishments involving the safety of the troupe leader, Prince Bi would definitely carry them out personally.
Under King Bi's execution, even if one doesn't die, one will be stripped bare.
Meanwhile, Zhan San, who was far away in transit, also panicked.
He was the last to receive the message.
Because he was not in charge of command, but only in charge of transporting supplies or personnel.
The troupe leader has disappeared?
Just over a month ago, the troupe leader was still talking eloquently to him.
It's not easy for the Green Gang to find a leader like Meng Chuan who has vision and ambition.
How could this be?
With red eyes, Zhan San personally oversaw the operation, sending signals again and again.
Like faint cries, they dissipated into the boundless darkness.
But all the signals sent out disappeared without a trace.
no respond.
The third person to learn the news was Prince Fu.
Prince Fu was far away in China, at the headquarters of the Green Gang, secretly training several of Meng Chuan's children.
Prince Fu will not be able to go to the United States in the short term.
Even if he went, it wouldn't make a difference.
He knew absolutely nothing about these high-tech things.
However, Prince Fu contacted Prince Bi immediately:
"Old Bi, I don't care where you are or what you're doing! Contact Zhan Qi immediately and get to the rocket company right away."
"What are you going to do?"
Bi Wang was shocked.
Because Prince Fu's tone was inappropriate.
"The troupe leader... has disappeared..."
