"The situation is turning grim," one said.
"Hasn't it always been like this?" came the reply.
...
Eagles soar through the sky, fish dart in the shallow waters,...
After confirming the number of people, everyone prepared to cross the lake.
There were many groups of tourists around the lunar base, some traveling in spaceships and others in small boats.
Zhang Ling and her companions rode in a giant beast that was over thirty meters tall. The beast had seats on its back and sides, with rain shelters and some simple fruit on them.
The giant beast walked on the bridge, and the tour guide stood on its head, holding a megaphone and began to give an introduction.
"Dear tourists, please keep an eye on your children if you have them. Our mode of transportation is the Shatuo Beast, which comes from another planet called the Four Seasons Star."
"Planet?"
"Yes, we have discovered another habitable planet, but it has not been made public yet. Local residents of the moon can visit the planet with their resident cards. However, due to potential personal risks, please consult the relevant personnel for details."
"Alright, everyone, we're here on a trip to the moon. That's enough about the Four Seasons Star."
"The bridge we are on now is the Earth-Moon Bridge. There are eighty-one bridges in total, symbolizing completeness. After crossing the Earth-Moon Bridge, we will arrive on the Moon from Earth."
"Once you enter the city, you are free to move around. I will not follow you. Here, I will tell you all the things you need to pay attention to."
"Once you're in town, you can go anywhere. If you're prohibited from going anywhere, someone will stop you. If you'd like to participate in outdoor activities, please consult the hotel staff. Every hotel offers outdoor activities... "
The tour guide was giving a serious introduction when the tourists suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
A huge image was projected over the entire city, showing two muscular men boxing in a ring.
One of the men did a somersault over the other.
"Oh!" It wasn't admiration, but amazement. The action didn't look exciting because the gravity here was too low.
Because of this flashy but unnecessary move, he was caught by another person and pinned to the ground.
On this enormous holographic image, countless spectators also appeared, shouting loudly, their voices echoing throughout the entire lunar base.
The person pinned to the ground tried to get up again, but their hands and knees seemed unable to exert any force.
"It's over." The tour guide spoke with the professional tone of someone who often watches competitions. "If they can't even get up under the moon's gravity, then they're really done for."
Just as everyone was watching intently, anticipating the outcome—
"Beibei!"
A child is seen leaping and scaling walls on the back of a giant beast—this isn't a metaphor, it's a real scene.
With a push of his foot, the tour guide skillfully manipulated the moon's gravity, twisted in mid-air, caught the child, and tossed him into the arms of the young couple who were on the verge of tears.
"I told you!" the tour guide shouted at the family, pressing the loudspeaker with static to his mouth, "Keep an eye on your children!"
"I...I...I was careful not to let him fall, but I didn't expect him to have, uh, light-footed skills."
What was supposed to be a thrilling situation turned into a burst of laughter from everyone.
When Zhang Ling came to her senses, she found herself smiling too.
Several giant beasts poked their heads out from the bottom of the lake and sprayed water into the sky, creating a dreamlike rainbow that spanned the Earth-Moon Bridge.
Once everyone looked away from the rainbow, the holographic image changed again, showing a replay of the exciting first Lunar Mech Racing Competition from a while ago.
Bea Triss won the championship, Bi was the runner-up, and Li Qianxia was the third place.
"It looks like Quake from Harry Potter. It's true that the end of magic is technology."
"Mecha! It really is a mecha! The official announcement said there had been a breakthrough in mecha technology, but I didn't expect it to be so advanced already!"
"Take official news with a grain of salt. Just six months ago, they held a press conference saying they would strive to land on the moon within five years, but six months later, a lunar base has already been built."
"It should be the result of cooperation with Russia. The little girl who won the silver medal at the opening ceremony is said to be a princess of the Tsar."
"The Five Eyes alliance has announced its intention to enter Mars and build a Mars base within six months."
After watching the replay, we happened to enter the base. The tour guide really left, abandoning everyone in this unfamiliar city, letting them do whatever they wanted. Also, keep an eye on your children and don't let them learn "lightness kung fu" again.
Zhang Ling took a bus.
After boarding the bus, she subconsciously paid the fare, placed her resident card on the bus, and only when the voice prompts started did she remember that she could use any transportation on the lunar base for free.
She got off the bus in Ming District and walked to house number 3.
It's even more beautiful than in the hologram, with bright sunshine, clear glass, charming red walls, and fragrant flowers.
She went inside and, led by the intelligent furniture robot, toured all the rooms.
Finally, she went to the small balcony on the second floor, sat down in a chair, and a smart robot brought her fruit.
The fruits looked strange, and Zhang Ling heard they were also products of Sijixing. She couldn't resist taking a bite, and they were delicious. Her mood, which had been gloomy again because she was alone, improved a bit.
A massive holographic image once again appeared in the sky, showing the beautiful girl who had won third place in the previous mecha racing competition.
"Hello everyone, my name is Li Qianxia, and I am one of the creators of this city. I would like to talk to you about the history of this city."
"The city was not built for tourism, nor for colonization, nor for money."
"As you may have noticed, strange events are occurring more and more frequently on Earth, and almost everyone lives in constant danger."
“The Kara Square in Mingcheng was one of those dangerous incidents.”
“That incident was entirely my fault,” the girl said.
“Some people who wanted to kill me chose Carra Square as their ambush site that day, where they attacked me and endangered the citizens who were present.”
