nChapter 87: Don’t Do What Zhang Tao Is Doing!

nTranslator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

n“Sister Xia, what are we doing?” Zhang Tao asked curiously in his spacesuit. Right now, they were at the Moon base.

n“We are currently doing backup work. We are responsible for talcing the severely worn-out and malfunctioning robots to the repair room,”

nZhang Yixia was saying all this with her face blushing.

nJust a moment 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.

nNailed it!

nZhang Tao was secretly glad that his lines worked, “Sister Xia, my employee level is Li. What level are you?”

n“I am H3. If I perform well, I have a chance to be promoted to Gi and become a supervisor,” Zhang Yixia replied.

nZhang Tao suddenly realized and asked, “What level was the previous supervisor, Zhu?”

n“You mean Supervisor Zhu? He was G3 level…”

n“I met a security supervisor named Li at the spaceport. Do you know his level?”

n“Supervisor Li has a pretty high rank; I heard he is D3 level…”

nUpon hearing this, Zhang Tao couldn’t help but become curious. “And what about Zhao Yu, who is responsible for communicating with Earth?”

n“Supervisor Zhao seems to be Di level,” Zhang Yixia replied uncertainly.

nZhang 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.

n“Uncle Da, how are the 88 people captured by Xiaotian doing now?”

n“Not much progress…” Uncle Da shook his head. “After they arrived, they either sat together playing games all day or hid alone in their rooms, rehearsing human reproduction rituals using projection touch watches…”

nZhao Yu looked at the surveillance video. In the park, some people were playing basketball, some were playing soccer, and some were swimming. Laughter and joy filled the air.

nUncle Da thought for a moment and said, “Compared to them, I’ve learned a little something from Zhang Tao…”

nZhao Yu became interested and asked curiously, “What did you learn?” “Commander, the luckiest thing in my life is meeting you. A thousand words cannot express how much I love you. No mountains or rivers can stop my crazy love for you…”

n“Stop!” Zhao Yu’s mouth twitched, and he said, “Did you learn this from Zhang Tao?”

n“Yes!”

nUncle 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…”

n“Commander, I love you too!”

n“I know…”

nZhao Yu felt speechless and said directly, “Don’t say such things randomly in the future, and don’t imitate what Zhang Tao says!”

nAfter speaking, he walked away directly, feeling a lot of goosebumps.

nWatching Zhao Yu’s back, Uncle Da was puzzled. “Was there something wrong with that Zhang Tao was saying?!”

n“Uncle San, without GPS signals, will we be unable to return?”

n“Don’t be afraid, back in the day, I went to set sail with just a compass…”

nAt sea, a fishing boat was crossing the strait, intending to fish near the island on the other side.

nHalfway through, there was a loud “thud,” and the entire boat seemed to have hit something, causing the uncle and nephew to stumble and fall.

n“What’s wrong?”

nThey got up and saw a transparent barrier in front of them. With that collision, ripples spread across the surface.

n“What is this?”

nThe two looked at each other, full of astonishment.

nThe nephew was a little scared, standing still in place.

nThe uncle swallowed his saliva, suppressed his fear, and walked forward, reaching out to touch the ripple.

n“Iron?”

nBased on the touch, it seemed they had hit a ship, but there was a ripple in front of them, and behind it was just the sea.

n“Thump, thump.”

nThe uncle knocked on the ripple, feeling somewhat 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 meters into the sky. “Uncle San, should we leave?!”

nThe uncle also felt something was amiss and didn’t dare to linger. He quickly steered the boat backward.

nAfter sailing a distance, the nephew suddenly called out in fear.

n“Uncle San, look quickly!”

nThe uncle turned his head and saw that the ripple they had collided with had revealed a massive object.

n“Is it a ship?!”

n“A spaceship!”

nAs if in response to their voices, the spaceship suddenly trembled.

nWaves surged, and the two hurriedly held onto the boat’s side, nervously observing the situation in front of them.

n“Hiss…”

nAt that moment, the surface of the water suddenly bubbled, accompanied by a thick smoke.

nSoon after, the sea parted, and the spaceship in front slowly ascended.

n“Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle-”

nElectric currents flickered across the surface of the spaceship. Then, right before their eyes, it gradually turned transparent and disappeared.

n“It’s an alien spaceship!”

n“Run!”

nThe uncle and nephew didn’t care about fishing anymore and quickly maneuvered the fishing boat to head back.

nAt a base in Xiadu.

n“Senator Chu, nearly a hundred people have reported seeing an alien spaceship near the Xia Sea region…”

n“Some people in remote mountain areas have also claimed to see an alien spaceship…”

nUpon hearing the reports from his subordinates, Colonel Chu furrowed his brow. “Are they aliens from the Moon?”

n“Most likely. With the entire planet blocked, it should be very hard for anyone else to come in with a spaceship?!”

nColonel Chu was puzzled. “What do they want?!”

n“I don’t know…”

nRealizing that no one understood, Colonel Chu thought for a moment and ordered, “Spread the word, block this information, and monitor closely. Don’t let any mention of it slip through on the entire internet. If related keywords appear, block and delete them all…”

n“What if people mention it in a sci-fi novel? Do you want it censored?”

n“Delete it too. Best be cautious.”

n“Yes, sir!”

nWith the command issued, Colonel Chu hastily returned to the underground base.

nHe informed them of the situation.

n“What do they want?!”

n“No idea!”

n“Could it be that they’re installing some kind of device on Earth?”

n“Like what?”

n“Maybe surveillance or some kind of weapon?!”

nAfter much discussion, they couldn’t come to a conclusion.

nSenator Zhou thought for a moment and suggested, “Colonel Chu, why don’t you ask Zhao Yu next time you see him?”

n“Good idea!”

nColonel Chu nodded and asked, “And what about the results from the think tank regarding SkyNet?”

nSenator Zhou sighed and shook his head. “We have no way to stop them…”

n“So, should we let them continue installing it?”

n“Han Xin endured great humiliation, biding his time without retaliating. That’s how he became a King.”

n“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…”

n“Now, our situation is remarkably similar. Let’s endure silently, lying low, and wait for the right moment…”

n“One day, we will get these aliens out of our territory….”
