I became Superman

Life at the lunar base is extremely monotonous. Researchers need to stay for a full six months in a place hundreds of thousands of kilometers away from Earth before they can get a rotation.

Maintaining communication with Earth here is extremely difficult, making it impossible to provide them with entertainment using limited signals.

To pass the time when they were bored, they had to find their own way.

So before setting off, some people brought a lot of their favorite books, and some downloaded many movies.

Liu Suxin, from the New Han Empire, brought a set of mahjong tiles. She would organize her colleagues at the base to play mahjong when a phase of work was completed.

She organized another card game today.

The card players were Rhett and Kimberly from the United States, and Liu Junxiong, who was also from the New Han Empire.

White is a young, energetic, and enthusiastic man who can't stand being bored. Whenever Liu Suxin organizes a card game, he will definitely participate as long as he doesn't have any tasks to complete.

Even the best activities can become tiresome if repeated too often.

This time, Rhett Butler seemed listless.

After playing a few rounds of mahjong, he suddenly pushed the tiles forward and said, "I'm not playing anymore, my luck is bad today."

"This damn base is so boring. I wish we could have some excitement."

"cut."

Liu Suxin scoffed, "You'd better look forward to it; the biggest problem you'll encounter here is just boredom."

If they encounter any unplanned troubles in this place far from their home planet, they will be completely helpless.

Liu Junxiong was a playful person, but upon hearing this, he deliberately put on a serious face and said, "You'd better not talk nonsense. I've heard that what people say unintentionally can easily come true."

Rhett Butler laughed, "How could such a thing possibly happen?"

Liu Junxiong said, "How is that impossible? Listen, isn't there a knocking sound outside?"

Rhett Butler was taken aback and said, "Damn it, how could there be a knocking sound here?"

They are the only humans on the moon right now, so if there were a knock on the door, it would be an incredibly exciting surprise.

Although he knew it was impossible, Rhett Butler couldn't help but listen intently.

Even Liu Suxin and Kimberly subconsciously held their breath.

The only sounds were the electronic equipment in the base and the faint breathing of the few people around them.

When Liu Junxiong saw that his made-up nonsense had fooled them, he finally couldn't hold back and burst into laughter.

"Haha, you guys actually believed it? You're so gullible!"

Liu Junxiong laughed so hard he almost fell over.

Liu Suxin was both amused and annoyed, and said, "You're such a prankster! You were so serious just now, you sounded like you were really telling the truth."

The three of them chatted and laughed for a while.

Kimberly remained seated to one side, still listening to something. Suddenly, she hesitated and said, "Wait, listen, is there a knock at the door?"

Liu Suxin laughed and said, "Why are you starting to imitate Liu Junxiong?"

"Old Liu, you've corrupted Kimberly. She used to be such an honest girl."

Kimberly shook her head anxiously, saying, "There really was a knock at the door!"

The three of them assumed she was acting and were about to make a few jokes when they heard a muffled thud coming from the airtight door.

Boom!

The smiles on the three faces froze instantly.

The base became deathly silent.

Boom!Boom!

There were two more knocks on the door.

A chill ran through all four of them.

What's going on?

Liu Suxin said, "Pull up the security footage from the entrance!"

Liu Junxiong put away his playful nature and switched to the surveillance camera at the door.

Upon seeing the surveillance footage, all four of them were stunned.

A human, dressed in a short-sleeved shirt, stood outside the base in the lunar temperature of over two hundred degrees below zero, slowly knocking on the door.

As if noticing that the surveillance camera was on, the man looked in the direction of the camera, smiled and waved, and only then could the four people see his face clearly.

A young man around twenty years old, with the appearance of the New Han Empire.

"Holy crap, what's going on?"

Liu Junxiong couldn't help but swear.

Rhett Butler said, "It looks like he wants us to open the door."

Kimberly said, "This situation isn't in the manual. I suggest contacting Earth immediately."

White and Liu Junxiong immediately prepared to make contact with Earth.

Liu Suxin said, "It's too late, open the door."

Seeing that they all hesitated, she sighed and said, "You don't really think that someone who can stand outside physically would be stopped by that airtight door, do you?"

"They're just knocking to respect our opinion, so they don't seem like a bad person. Let's open the door and report back to Earth later."

The three men thought she made sense and hurriedly went to prepare to let the person in.

……

Zhou Ming saw several people inside walking towards the door, confirming that they had heard his knocking.

He waited a while and then heard a hissing sound.

The door in front of me was opened.

There is another door inside; the inner door opens only after the outer door is closed.

Three nervous male and female researchers stood inside the door, looking at him somewhat helplessly.

"Oh, hello everyone."

Zhou Ming said.

"Ah, hello, hello!"

The four people seemed to be suddenly activated, and they all greeted each other enthusiastically.

Liu Suxin asked, "Where are you from?"

Zhou Ming laughed and said, "I came from Earth. I chased an enemy into space, lost track of him, and just happened to come here to take a look."

From Earth?!

My God, a physical body traversing the space between the Earth and the Moon!

All four of them were dumbfounded.

Liu Suxin shook her stiff head abruptly and asked, "Is the enemy you're tracking a vampire?"

"Eh?"

Zhou Ming was somewhat surprised and asked, "You knew?"

Seeing that the other three were not surprised, he realized that the existence of vampires and other supernatural beings was not a secret to them.

After all, they are the elite among humans, so it's understandable that they know such inside information.

Liu Suxin nodded and said, "In addition to scientific research and lunar exploration, another mission of this base is to find the whereabouts of vampires."

"Countries around the world have a long history of dealing with vampires and have long noticed that their Shadow Realm will leave Earth. Some have speculated that the Shadow Realm may be on the moon."

"Therefore, several major powers jointly launched the lunar base project."

Zhou Ming smiled and said, "So humans noticed this a long time ago. Have your studies yielded any results?"

Liu Suxin shook her head and said, "The moon has been preliminarily explored. No traces of vampires or the Shadow Realm have been found here. However, energy fluctuations that resemble those of the Shadow Realm are frequently detected in the outer space near the moon."

"These energy fluctuations do not approach the lunar surface; they appear and disappear suddenly without any discernible pattern, which is why humanity still knows nothing about the Shadow Realm."

Energy fluctuations resembling those from the Shadow Realm…

So, the Shadowlands could very well be in space, but not on the moon. So where is it?

It's really a headache.

These outliers have quite a few tricks up their sleeves.

Zhou Ming wasn't disappointed that he couldn't find the location of the Shadow Realm. It was just a whim anyway, so if he couldn't find it, so be it. They would meet again eventually. Being able to visit the moon and the base made the trip worthwhile.
