People Found Out About The Base I Built On the Moon-Chapter 26

Return of the Heroes!

“What did the higher-ups say? Are they going to nuke the moon?”

Chief Engineer Yang was a little anxious. The three astronauts were still on the moon. It would be too hasty to detonate the bombs before they were confirmed dead. Unfortunately, it wasn’t up to him to make the decisions.

“No, the higher-ups think that the government of Meine has gone crazy!!”

Senior Colonel Chu shook his head. “Still, even if it’s only a few people, there are still those who support the idea of launching nuclear missiles to the moon. Let’s call them extremists. Now, if these aliens from the moon hadn’t made any sort of response to us, I’m afraid that those extremists would only grow in number!”

“These aliens are really something. If they want to fight or talk, they have to show their faces. Even now, still, we don’t even know what’s going on with the three astronauts…”

Chief Engineer Yang continued to sigh, “For the past few days, the families of Zhang Tao, Liu Ning, and Wang Dong Dong have all come to me to ask for information, but I can’t tell them the truth. I couldn’t even tell them about this crazy nuke plan that Thomas proposed!”

One staff member suddenly shouted. “Look!! We’ve got someone on live!”

The two of them looked over and saw three people in spacesuits on the big screen not far away.

Chief Engineer Yang was shocked and quickly ran over.

On the screen, three astronauts were waving at the camera.

“It’s them, it’s really them!!!”

The entire team was cheering. Everyone was extremely excited, and some even shed tears.

“They’re talking! I saw Zhang Tao’s mouth move!!”

Someone shouted.

“Quick, quick!” Chief Engineer Yang said excitedly, “Get into the communication system!”

“Communication with White Rabbit Nine has been restored!!”

“Zi zi zi ~~!”

After the staff made some adjustments, the two parties finally managed to communicate.

“Earth, Earth, this is White Rabbit Unit 9, please respond!”

“Earth received, Earth received!!”

Chief Engineer Yang grabbed the microphone,”Zhang Tao, you are still alive…”

Zhang Tao laughed as he finally heard the voice that he was always familiar with,”You old fox! you’ve been waiting for me to die so your son can f * ck my daughter, right?!”

Chief Engineer Yang cried tears of joy, “So you knew!!”

“Of course I knew, you old bastard! We’re all live in the same compound, and there are barely any young men around!”

Listening to their conversation, everyone stood up and cheered, high-fiving in celebration.

Senior Colonel Chu interrupted, “Zhang Tao, report your situation now!”

“Who even is this guy?” Zhang Tao thought as he saw Senior Colonel Yang on the screen. He didn’t like the way he interrupted their conversation, but he knew that the man must be very important for him to give out orders like this. So, Zhang Tao immediately started explaining what happened for the past few days.

Chief Engineer Yang interrupted when Zhang Tao mentioned about being captured by aliens,” The one beside you is White Rabbit Nine, right? Can you still return?!!”

Zhang Tao nodded, “Yes, the equipment is normal. We can carry out the return mission!”

Chief Engineer Yang was overjoyed. He quickly said, “Alright, I’ll allow you to return immediately. If you have anything to say, come back and talk!!”

“No!”

Senior Colonel Chu denied, “They’ve disappeared for more than ten days. We don’t even know if they carry some sort of virus. Hell, we don’t even know if it’s actually them…”

Chief Engineer Yang was furious, “Hey, asshole! I make the decisions! I am in charge of the Great Xia Space Agency!”

“Not anymore!” Senior Colonel Chu said as he took out an ID card from his pocket, “From now on, the military will be in charge of the Great Xia Space Agency!”

“You…”?Chief Engineer Yang was so angry that he could not speak for a long time.

On the other side of the moon, Zhang Tao understood Chief Engineer Yang’s situation and said, “Old Yang, don’t be rash. Listen to him. If the higher-ups are worried about us, we can stay here for a while…”

Senior Colonel Chu looked at the three astronauts on the screen, “Zhang Tao, tell me about your experience on the Moon!”

Just like Chief Engineer Yang, Zhang Tao didn’t like the way Senior Colonel Chu was bossing him around, but he didn’t really have a choice.

Senior Colonel Chu said, “Stand by!” Then, he turned around and entered a secret room to report the situation to his superiors.

After Senior Colonel Chu left, Chief Engineer Yang said, “Old Zhang, don’t be afraid. Earth will always be on your side. I believe that after the higher-ups hear this, they will definitely let you return…”

“Old Yang, I know. We’ll just listen to your orders…”

An hour later, Senior Colonel Chu came back with a blank expression. He picked up the device and said slowly.

“You experienced electromagnetic interference on the moon. White Rabbit Nine lost its balance and fell into a crater. During this period, the spacecraft has been repaired. It was only today that the repair was completed and contact was made with Earth…”

“We will now begin recording your actions on the Moon. You will return to Earth in an hour!”

After saying that, he gave up his seat and looked at Chief Engineer Yang, “You are now free to make contact with the television station…”

“You can tell the media about what I just told these astronauts.”

..

Ten minutes later, a piece of news had just appeared, and it completely shocked the world.

“The moon has been missing for more than ten days, and three astronauts have reappeared…”

“They’re still alive. The three Earthlings who disappeared on the moon…”

“White Rabbit Nine actually fell into a crater after encountering electromagnetic interference. After more than ten days of repair, communication has finally been restored…”

“The return of the hero, a contest between mankind and the universe!”

All the netizens were shocked. They could not believe that this was true, but soon, the officials released a video of Zhang Tao, Liu Ning, and Wang Dong Dong repairing the spacecraft on the moon and struggling to survive.

“It’s true, it’s true! They’re really still alive!”

“Oh my god, this is a miracle. The three of them are the people who have survived the longest on the Moon in human history, right?”

“Definitely the longest. The first person in space in history only stayed on the moon for 74 hours, 59 minutes and 18 seconds.”

“They broke the record!”

“See, I told you there were no aliens…”

“Hey, that’s not what you said a few days beforeI have a screenshot to prove it! You were making comments about how aliens were behind all of this!”

At this moment, regardless of whether it was the people of the Great Xia or the people of other countries, everyone was watching the video that the television station had released.

Even though the video was an hour long, it still couldn’t stop the enthusiasm.

On this day, work stopped, the world paused, and the entire world was discussing together.

This matter was no longer just a matter of the Great Xia. In the eyes of many, this was a matter of the human race, and it was something that everyone should remember.

This was the first time that humans had lost contact in the universe and came back to life.

..

Xia Capital, the capital of the Great Xia.

Five hundred meters below the most prosperous central area was a secret base that no one knew about.

Unlike the celebratory atmosphere on the Internet, the people in this base were very calm, even a little troubled.

One of them was Senior Colonel Chu, who had just left the Great Xia Space Agency.

He frowned and muttered to himself.

“Why did the aliens give them watches?!”

“What is the meaning behind this?!”
