Marvel's whitewashing cop, you want me to save the world?

Chapter 208 The Moon Attilan

As the small spaceship left Earth's orbit, the blue-white planet outside the porthole was shrinking at a visible rate.

The personnel involved in this operation were very streamlined.

Tony Stark, Frank the Punisher, Bruce Banner, and Wanda.

They didn't even bring any support staff.

The objective this time was very clear: to find the unusual life data on the far side of the moon.

There is a high probability of a battle breaking out, so everyone who can board this ship is someone who has the ability to survive independently in the space environment.

Frank had already tested it; even if he were thrown directly into a vacuum, his body, encased in hellfire, would still be able to move freely.

Not to mention Banner, Hulk's fighting power in space is even more terrifying than on Earth.

Tony's Mark armor has been upgraded to the nanometer level, making space missions no different from going for a walk for him.

Although Wanda's chaos magic is not yet fully mature, the energy level within her body is sufficient to create a protective force field in a vacuum, more than enough to protect herself.

As for Li En himself, his physical strength is already sufficient to withstand the environment of space.

However, compared to the Hulk after his transformation, he will still be subject to certain limitations in the universe.

It has a sense of sluggishness, like an ordinary person struggling to move forward with a heavy load in the snow and ice, rather than the ease of completely ignoring the environment.

But he has too many cards to play, and he is the leader of the Earth Alliance.

If the unknown entity on the moon is a civilized race with a social structure, then the only candidate to negotiate with them is him.

Bruce Banner leaned back in his seat, looking out the porthole at the grayish-white planet that was getting closer and closer, and suddenly remarked, "I never imagined that there could possibly be life on the moon, which is closest to us."

No wonder during the Cold War, both sides sent so many probes to the moon, but the furthest they ever reached was a few landings, and each time they inexplicably malfunctioned, ultimately ending in a hasty retreat.

In the space race between the two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union, they poured almost all their resources into it, but the only place they actually reached was the surface of the moon.

Regardless of which side's astronauts and spacecraft boarded, they all found nothing, and the equipment would always malfunction without warning, forcing the exploration program to be interrupted time and time again.

Looking back now, those inexplicable malfunctions were probably not coincidences.

Wanda picked up where Banner left off, continuing the conversation: "If there really are life forms on the moon, then their hostility towards us shouldn't be too great, otherwise those astronauts wouldn't have been able to return to Earth alive."

Li En said expressionlessly, "Whether they're hostile or not, we'll only know after seeing it with our own eyes. What if those life forms are giant cosmic cockroaches?"

Tony shuddered noticeably. He turned to look at Li En with an extremely complex expression, his voice trembling: "A giant cockroach from outer space? You're not kidding, are you? A cockroach about my size? Just imagining that makes me feel uncomfortable."

Li En shrugged, his tone still calm: "Who can say for sure about the life forms in the universe?"

The Chitauri soldiers from last time looked almost identical to aliens.

Tony closed and reopened the visor several times before finally pulling out a cup of coffee from the storage compartment next to the chair and taking a big gulp.

It was as if I wanted to expel that image of the giant cockroach from my mind.

He gritted his teeth and said, "It'd better not be anything disgusting, otherwise I won't be able to eat for the next two weeks."

As they spoke, the spacecraft had already entered orbit on the far side of the moon and began its steady descent.

The landing site was chosen at the edge of an area with the strongest signal readings.

The hatch opened, revealing almost pure darkness outside, with no atmosphere scattering sunlight.

The outlines of the rocks covered in fine lunar dust could only be seen when the helmet's searchlight swept across the ground.

However, everyone present was wearing specially made exploration glasses.

Infrared scanning reconstructs the surrounding terrain and environment data on the lens in real time, and does not affect movement even in the absence of visible light.

Jarvis, piloting a black and white Mark armor suit, led the way.

There is no person sitting inside this armor; it is purely driven remotely by AI.

The men following behind it were also wearing Mark armor, making it almost impossible to tell them apart from the outside.

After walking about ten kilometers, Jarvis suddenly stopped.

He turned around, raised his arm, and pointed to an empty area directly in front of him that looked no different from the surroundings: "This is it. The energy readings are abnormal, but no structure can be visually identified."

Tony and Banner stepped forward simultaneously, stretching out their arms, their hands quickly encountering a hard barrier.

hinder.

It wasn't rock, it wasn't metal; the feel was more like being held back by an invisible force field.

Tony pressed his palm against the invisible barrier, feeling it evenly rebound the force when he applied pressure to his joints.

"This thing isn't a physical object. It's probably some kind of energy shield." He pulled his hand back, his helmet facing the empty space that looked like it was empty.

"The people inside should have noticed our touch just now. Let's wait and see."

He took a few steps back first, and Banner followed.

The two men stood on either side of Li En, neither of them urging him to hurry.

Sure enough, it didn't take long.

A figure appeared out of thin air from what seemed to be empty space, as if passing through an invisible film covering the entire area.

The good news is that the creature looks very similar to a human and isn't the giant cosmic cockroach that Tony is frantically praying won't appear.

But his feet are unlike those of ordinary people.

Those two feet resembled some kind of hoof-like structure, firmly planted on the moon dust, making the person's posture remarkably stable.

He appeared without making any aggressive moves, but simply turned to the side and said in fluent and standard English, "Our king wishes to see you people from Earth."

Tony paused for a moment, instinctively.

On the far side of this celestial body closest to Earth, a humanoid race, never before recorded by any probe, spoke English as their first word.

He frowned, his gaze involuntarily drifting towards Li En beside him. Countless questions were churning in his mind, but in the end, he simply suppressed them.

He became even more certain of Li En's consistent actions.

If it weren't for this man smashing through all obstacles and propelling the entire human world toward the universe...

They may never realize that these beings are hidden so close to them.

Li En walked at the front, following the guide who called himself Gor, and crossed the invisible barrier.

The line of sight changed abruptly the moment it passed through the barrier.

Inside the barrier was a bright, daytime scene, with a simulated sunlight hanging overhead. No auxiliary equipment was needed; the flesh...

The eye can see the entire space clearly.

The environmental parameters were also updated simultaneously on Mark's armor's data panel.

There is an atmosphere here, with an oxygen content slightly lower than Earth's standard but still perfectly breathable, and the air pressure is within the range that the human body can tolerate.

On the distant horizon, rows of neat and orderly buildings stand with simple and austere lines, showing no signs of decay or repair.

This is a civilization with a relatively high level of development.

Li En reached out and pressed her hand against her chest.

The nano-armor rapidly receded from his body, coalescing into a wristband that fastened around his right wrist.

He smiled at the Gorman who was leading the way, speaking as casually as if he had met a new neighbor on a street corner.

"I am Li En, the leader of the Earth Alliance. Hello."

Gorgon glanced back at him, gave his name, and spoke calmly, his face showing neither hostility nor enthusiasm.

The group followed him across the wide street.

Tony walked in the middle of the group, his nanotech armor silently emitting miniature laser scans with each step.

Jarvis recorded all the materials, structures, and spatial layouts of the surrounding buildings into his database.

He maintained his walking pace, but his eyes never stopped moving.

Gorgon stopped in front of a huge crystal door and reached out to push it open.

The doors slid open silently to both sides, revealing a long corridor covered with a red carpet.

The corridor was lined with soldiers in full armor, each standing as straight as if measured by a ruler.

At the end of the red carpet was a throne carved from a single piece of crystal, upon which sat a middle-aged man.

Standing beside him was a woman with hair so bright red it resembled blood.

From the outside, these two people are no different from ordinary humans.

Gore stopped at the doorway and did not go any further.

Lee Eun strode onto the red carpet, passing through two rows of silent soldiers, and stopped only at the foot of the throne.

He looked up, his gaze sweeping across the middle-aged man's face before lingering for a moment on the red-haired woman.

"I am Li En, the leader of the Earth Alliance. You two must be the King and Queen of Attilan on the Moon. I apologize for the intrusion."

The middle-aged man on the throne remained silent.

He raised his hands and gestured to Li En with smooth hand gestures.

After watching his gesture, the red-haired woman standing beside him turned her head slightly and said in the same standard English, "I am Medusa, Queen of Attilan."

This is my husband, King of Attilan, Blackcard Botgol.

"What brings you to Attilan?"

Li En's gaze lingered briefly on Medusa's long, red hair that reached her waist.

The luster of that hair was unlike that of ordinary hair; it was more like something alive and possessing its own will.

He withdrew his gaze and met the king's silent eyes once more.

"When we launched the Mars probe, we unexpectedly detected life signals on the far side of the moon."

"Living so close by, as neighbors, it wouldn't be right not to come and visit."
