Chapter 1233 - Do You Need Reinforcements? (1/2)

“Have you read the newspaper?”

With a plate of food, Xia s.h.i.+yu, who had already changed into her professional attire, smiled at Jiang Chen, sat down beside him, and placed several newspapers on the table.

When Jiang Chen glanced at the cover of the newspapers, he laughed. It was a face he is too familiar with.

After all, he saw it every day in the mirror.

“I made headlines again?”

Jiang Chen put down the fork and lazily reached to grab a newspaper.

His eyes swept the t.i.tle. It seemed to catch him by surprise as he almost spat out the oatmeal in his mouth.

Just then, softness engulfed the back of his head and the luscious hair that smelled great swept across the tip of his nose.

Natasha hugged Jiang Chen’s neck from the back and moved her face closer to the newspaper. Then she read out the content in the newspaper with great interest.

“‘…Celestial Trade’s s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p mobilized during an emergency, the target is Mars!’… Hey? Are you making a movie?”

“…”

“Move, don’t you see Jiang Chen is troubled?” Ayesha, who just came out of the kitchen, looked at Natasha who was stuck to Jiang Chen’s back, and let out a sigh. She rubbed one of her eyes that were surrounded in dark circles while she used the other hand to put the plate filled with salad and sliced toast on the table.

Obviously, she didn’t rest well last night.

As for what happened, well…there was no need to elaborate.

Perhaps it was because Ayesha always schooled Natasha in combat, Natasha listened to Ayesha most of the time. She pouted and reluctantly let Jiang Chen go. Then she grabbed a newspaper and sat down. She began drinking some coffee as she continued to read.

“Alien vs. Soldiers? Or the prelude to Star Wars? The Mars scientific expedition team was attacked by giant aliens while searching for water resources, and a Celestial Trade Marine Corps soldier was seriously injured… This is the New York Times, next is Reuters.”

“Reuters’ reporters applied to follow Celestial Trade Marine Corps but they were rejected. The situation on Mars is likely to be more serious than expected. Tiangong City Plan may go bankrupt? It is recommended that British investors carefully consider the investment environment on Mars … Oh, this is also not a simple issue.”

Natasha put down the newspaper, then glanced at Jiang Chen with a sly face.

“It’s okay,” Jiang Chen said as he stuffed the toast into his mouth. “These are common tricks used by reporters. Exaggerate things to make things bigger than they seem, gain enough people’s attention and then use ‘follow-up reports’ to restore the truth.”

Tiangong City Plan to go bankrupt?

What kind of international joke is this?

The supplies and equipment needed for the next colony expansion left almost at the same as the thousand soldiers in hibernation. In addition, a hundred ground explosive bombs were also on board to target the Devil Worms’ nests.

After two generations of upgrades to the engine of the Seagull-cla.s.s Transport s.h.i.+p, the new TS Seagull was already capable of traveling between the Mars...o...b..t and Celestial City. The journey to Mars was no longer a one-way ticket. It was also the reason why Jiang Chen had the courage to make the decision to send a thousand soldiers to Mars.

One thousand Marines, on the one hand, was to kill the Devil Worms, while on the other hand, it was to cover up the excavation works of the Gaia civilization.

“I’m full.” Natasha put down the coffee and stood up with her plate. Then she looked at Jiang Chen who was still masticating slowly, “I’m heading to the Russian Emba.s.sy. Are there any words I need to bring for you?”

“No, the call will probably come soon anyway.”

Almost as soon as he finished the sentence, Jiang Chen’s watch began to ring.

Jiang Chen looked up to Natasha, who also looked amazed.

What a coincidence?
