Chapter 87: Don’t Do What Zhang Tao Is Doing!
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Sister Xia, what are we doing?” Zhang Tao asked curiously in his spacesuit. Right now, they were at the Moon base.
“We are currently doing backup work. We are responsible for talcing the severely worn-out and malfunctioning robots to the repair room,”
Zhang Yixia was saying all this with her face blushing.
Just a mont ago, Zhang Tao had said a bunch of cheesy romantic lines that went beyond the script, but fortunately, she reacted appropriately and gave a corresponding response.
Nailed it!
Zhang Tao was secretly glad that his lines worked, “Sister Xia, my employee level is Li. What level are you?”
“I am H3. If I perform well, I have a chance to be promoted to Gi and beco a supervisor,” Zhang Yixia replied.
Zhang Tao suddenly realized and asked, “What level was the previous supervisor, Zhu?”
“You an Supervisor Zhu? He was G3 level…”
“I t a security supervisor nad Li at the spaceport. Do you know his level?”
“Supervisor Li has a pretty high rank; I heard he is D3 level…”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Tao couldn’t help but beco curious. “And what about Zhao Yu, who is responsible for communicating with Earth?”
“Supervisor Zhao seems to be Di level,” Zhang Yixia replied uncertainly.
Zhang Tao clenched his fists. He must perform well and upgrade to D level as soon as possible. Then, he might have a chance to replace Zhao Yu and communicate with Earth.
“Uncle Da, how are the 88 people captured by Xiaotian doing now?”
“Not much progress…” Uncle Da shook his head. “After they arrived, they either sat together playing gas all day or hid alone in their rooms, rehearsing human reproduction rituals using projection touch watches…”
Zhao Yu looked at the surveillance video. In the park, so people were playing basketball, so were playing soccer, and so were swimming. Laughter and joy filled the air.
Uncle Da thought for a mont and said, “Compared to them, I’ve learned a little sothing from Zhang Tao…”
Zhao Yu beca interested and asked curiously, “What did you learn?” “Commander, the luckiest thing in my life is eting you. A thousand words cannot express how much I love you. No mountains or rivers can stop my crazy love for you…”
“Stop!” Zhao Yu’s mouth twitched, and he said, “Did you learn this from Zhang Tao?”
“Yes!”
Uncle Da nodded and said, “Zhang Tao said he loves Zhang Yixia. True or not, he always has to show his love. He’s saying a lot of things that make him genuinely seem like he loves her…”
“Commander, I love you too!”
“I know…”
Zhao Yu felt speechless and said directly, “Don’t say such things randomly in the future, and don’t imitate what Zhang Tao says!”
After speaking, he walked away directly, feeling a lot of goosebumps.
Watching Zhao Yu’s back, Uncle Da was puzzled. “Was there sothing wrong with that Zhang Tao was saying?!”
“Uncle San, without GPS signals, will we be unable to return?”
“Don’t be afraid, back in the day, I went to set sail with just a compass…”
At sea, a fishing boat was crossing the strait, intending to fish near the island on the other side.
Halfway through, there was a loud “thud,” and the entire boat seed to have hit sothing, causing the uncle and nephew to stumble and fall.
“What’s wrong?”
They got up and saw a transparent barrier in front of them. With that collision, ripples spread across the surface.
“What is this?”
The two looked at each other, full of astonishnt.
The nephew was a little scared, standing still in place.
The uncle swallowed his saliva, suppressed his fear, and walked forward, reaching out to touch the ripple.
“Iron?”
Based on the touch, it seed they had hit a ship, but there was a ripple in front of them, and behind it was just the sea.
“Thump, thump.”
The uncle knocked on the ripple, feeling sowhat confused. “What is this?” Behind him, the nephew looked up in the direction the ripples spread and was shocked to find that the ripples extended hundreds of ters into the sky. “Uncle San, should we leave?!”
The uncle also felt sothing was amiss and didn’t dare to linger. He quickly steered the boat backward.
After sailing a distance, the nephew suddenly called out in fear.
“Uncle San, look quickly!”
The uncle turned his head and saw that the ripple they had collided with had revealed a massive object.
“Is it a ship?!”
“A spaceship!”
As if in response to their voices, the spaceship suddenly trembled.
Waves surged, and the two hurriedly held onto the boat’s side, nervously observing the situation in front of them.
“Hiss…”
At that mont, the surface of the water suddenly bubbled, accompanied by a thick smoke.
Soon after, the sea parted, and the spaceship in front slowly ascended.
“Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle-”
Electric currents flickered across the surface of the spaceship. Then, right before their eyes, it gradually turned transparent and disappeared.
“It’s an alien spaceship!”
“Run!”
The uncle and nephew didn’t care about fishing anymore and quickly maneuvered the fishing boat to head back.
At a base in Xiadu.
“Senator Chu, nearly a hundred people have reported seeing an alien spaceship near the Xia Sea region…”
“So people in remote mountain areas have also claid to see an alien spaceship…”
Upon hearing the reports from his subordinates, Colonel Chu furrowed his brow. “Are they aliens from the Moon?”
“Most likely. With the entire planet blocked, it should be very hard for anyone else to co in with a spaceship?!”
Colonel Chu was puzzled. “What do they want?!”
“I don’t know…”
Realizing that no one understood, Colonel Chu thought for a mont and ordered, “Spread the word, block this information, and monitor closely. Don’t let any ntion of it slip through on the entire internet. If related keywords appear, block and delete them all…”
“What if people ntion it in a sci-fi novel? Do you want it censored?”
“Delete it too. Best be cautious.”
“Yes, sir!”
With the command issued, Colonel Chu hastily returned to the underground base.
He inford them of the situation.
“What do they want?!”
“No idea!”
“Could it be that they’re installing so kind of device on Earth?”
“Like what?”
“Maybe surveillance or so kind of weapon?!”
After much discussion, they couldn’t co to a conclusion.
Senator Zhou thought for a mont and suggested, “Colonel Chu, why don’t you ask Zhao Yu next ti you see him?”
“Good idea!”
Colonel Chu nodded and asked, “And what about the results from the think tank regarding SkyNet?”
Senator Zhou sighed and shook his head. “We have no way to stop them…”
“So, should we let them continue installing it?”
“Han Xin endured great humiliation, biding his ti without retaliating. That’s how he beca a King.”
“Goujian, as the King of Yue, was subjugated by the King of Wu. He also endured great humiliation by feeding horses and tasting faeces. Only then did he get the chance to destroy Wu and seek revenge…”
“Now, our situation is remarkably similar. Let’s endure silently, lying low, and wait for the right mont…”
“One day, we will get these aliens out of our territory….”
