Chapter 84: Zhang Tao Arrived at the Moon!
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Finally, we’re here!”
Zhang Tao sat inside the spacecraft, his eyes slightly moist.
After flying through space for three days, he was very afraid that he might die any ti on the way.
But thankfully, they had arrived.
The spacecraft drew closer, and Zhang Tao began adjusting its speed, preparing for deceleration.
However, the next mont, he froze.
“Is this the moon?!”
Looking at the spaceport surrounded by the cosmic environnt and the rising and descending spaceships, Zhang Tao doubted if he had co to the wrong place.
He had been here just a month ago, yet it now appeared incredibly unfamiliar. Just then, a patrolling warship spotted him and flew towards his location. Amidst Zhang Tao’s nervousness, electronic sounds echoed inside the spacecraft.
“This is a controlled area. Unknown spacecraft, please identify yourselves!”
“Oh no, what should I do?!”
Zhang Tao panicked and attempted to contact Earth using their communication thod, transmitting a radio signal: “I am a Earth citizen. I have important matters to discuss. Please grant permission to proceed!” After a mont, the electronic voice from inside the spacecraft sounded again.
“Unauthorized landing. Your spacecraft will be detained in this port…” “What?!”
Zhang Tao was shocked, but there was nothing he could do. His spacecraft was not only slow, but it also lacked any weapons.
Imdiately, a spacecraft resembling an octopus flew out from the spaceport and captured his spacecraft within monts.
It carried Zhang Tao and flew to a certain location within the spaceport, where it ca to a stop.
Seeing this, Zhang Tao quickly transmitted another radio signal: “Please inform your leaders that I have co here seeking refuge!”
This ti, there was no response.
Once the spacecraft had stabilized, an exit passage connected to the spaceport appeared.
Before Zhang Tao could control it himself, the exit hatch of the spacecraft automatically opened.
Well, his spacecraft was now under soone else’s control on their turf!
Helpless, Zhang Tao put on his spacesuit and stepped into the passage.
After walking for a while and passing through a light curtain, he suddenly felt gravity beneath his feet.
Standing on either side of the light curtain were two ard robots, glaring at Zhang Tao.
“Earthlings, proceed straight ahead for one hundred ters!”
At that mont, an electronic voice ca through the speakers in the passage.
Zhang Tao breathed a sigh of relief and took a few steps, but the robots on both sides didn’t move.
After a hundred ters, a hall appeared, and a young man was seated inside. “There is oxygen here. You can take off your outer suit,” the young man said casually.
Zhang Tao heard this and, without caring about the authenticity, imdiately removed his helt, took a deep breath, and smiled. “The air here is really fresh!”
The young man nodded and introduced himself, “I am the security supervisor of the spaceport. State your purpose, Earthling!”
Zhang Tao carefully observed the young man and discovered that he was indeed a human, which sparked an idea in his mind.
A Earth citizen working as the security supervisor at a spaceport? Could he climb up the ladder as well?!
Once he reached a higher position, he would have access to more information and be able to relay useful intelligence to Earth.
“My na is Zhang Tao, and I’m an astronaut from Earth…”
“A month ago, myself and two colleagues visited the moon, where we were received by a woman nad Zhang Yuxia…”
“Hmm, Zhang Yuxia arrived a few months before ,” Li Zongheng said.
According to the production order, Zhang Yuxia was indeed the earliest humanoid to appear.
She had the earliest model and so flaws.
Just as expected!
Zhang Tao’s confidence instantly increased, and he continued, “As newcors to this unfamiliar environnt, we were quite frightened…”
“Zhang Yuxia’s presence alleviated our fears…”
“During that ti, the happiest monts were when we saw her…”
Li Zongheng frowned and said, “State your purpose!”
“Yes, of course!” Zhang Tao hurriedly nodded and said, “In truth, I sneaked out…”
“The mission was originally to maintain the space station, but I wanted to see Zhang Yuxia, so I piloted the spacecraft here without authorization…” “Although I don’t want to admit it, ever since I returned to Earth, she has been constantly on my mind. I can’t forget her, and I want to see her again…”
These words made Zhang Tao uncomfortable deep down, but outwardly, he appeared deeply devoted.
Before departing, the think tank had analyzed in detail how Zhang Tao could infiltrate the moon’s interior.
They ca up with excuses he could use to explain why he wanted to be on the Moon, such as that he was betrayed by his comrades or that he admired the aliens so much he wanted to work for them. These didn’t seem very convincing, anyhow.
However, they did ca up with sothing that seed convincing. ‘Love,’ it was. They told Zhang Tao that he could say that he was so in love with Zhang Yixia that he went as far as to travel to the Moon.
Of course, whether Zhang Tao could stay would ultimately depend on his acting skills.
During the three-day flight, Zhang Tao had been convincing himself, replacing Zhang Yuxia’s face with that of his own wife.
He aid to imrse himself in the role and deceive everyone, ultimately securing his place on the moon.
So Zhang Tao was in love with Zhang Yuxia?
Li Zongheng was montarily stunned, his expression becoming peculiar, but he didn’t say much and simply said, “Wait here, I’ll report to headquarters!” After speaking, he got up and left alone.
Li Zongheng hadn’t gone far when he stopped within Zhang Tao’s sight.
On the moon base, Zhao Yu and Dashu didn’t need Li Zongheng to report; they had already seen the live footage.
“Commander, it involves human emotions, and it touches upon my blind spot…”
Dashu felt helpless. Love, hatred, and emotional entanglents were precisely what he couldn’t understand. They were the most illogical and incomprehensible aspects.
“Liking Zhang Yuxia…”
This reason was absurd, with less than a thirty percent chance of being true.
Zhao Yu pondered the purpose of Zhang Tao’s arrival.
“Why does he want to stay on the moon? Apart from pursuing a woman, can he serve the extraterrestrials like ‘us’?”
Zhao Yu wasn’t stupid; he had pretty much figured out Zhang Tao’s real intentions. After all, he had co up with the entire background of the moon’s extraterrestrials himself.
“Commander, do you know his purpose?!1‘
Uncle Da looked shocked and could hardly believe it.
“More or less. He probably wants to infiltrate our base, like ‘,’ ‘Zhang Yuxia,’ and the others, climb up the ranks, gather extraterrestrial intelligence, and smuggle it all back to Earth.”
Uncle Da’s eyes lit up, “Commander, if that’s the case, we can keep him!”
“On one hand, we can observe how he treats Zhang Yuxia, which will help study human emotional activities. On the other hand, we can give him the high position he desires and let him pass false information to Eartj.”
Zhao Yu nodded, finding it suitable, and added, “But let’s not rush to give him a high position. Let’s set so challenges for him to solve and promote him gradually. That’s more logical.”
“Understood. Now, should we let Li Zongheng take him to the moon base and have him follow Zhang Yuxia for now?”
Zhao Yu nodded slightly and said, “Adjust Zhang Yuxia’s position a bit and have her take this Zhang Tao to do so unimportant tasks….”
