The Gaelic people of the Ultraman Tiga world

"Anyway, Daigo felt that even without relying on Tiga's power, he, as a human, could handle an ancient monster that was reviving on his own."

She paused slightly, and what Saki didn't say here was that she believed Daigo's occasional bursts of chuunibyou (delusional) tendencies were definitely related to Lu Xuan.

"He's not so busy these past few days, but the remains of that unknown alien companion still need to be dealt with..."

"Just in case, the Victory Team sent out almost all of its members."

"Therefore, for the time being, we can only entrust the handling of that alien on the moon to the Extraterrestrial Alliance and the Carlo Base."

Chapter 508 The Guardians of the Moon

The far side of the moon, Carlo Base.

As Gale piloted the Carol airship back to base, the Galvin had already entered the Carol base first.

As a lunar base established during the Earth Defense Force era, the Kalo Base's style is characterized by simplicity and brutality.

A steel foundation, silver-white walls, and anti-aircraft guns resembling a hedgehog...

As far as the eye could see, the entire Carlo base seemed like an impregnable fortress, with no "weaknesses" in the conventional sense.

Therefore, when Gale saw the main system guiding the Gaelvin into the base, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Fortunately, Gale is a qualified soldier and never asks questions he shouldn't.

So, not long after the Galvin entered the Carol base, the Carol airship followed suit and returned to the base.

Just as Gale was about to report to his superior, he noticed that the pilot of the unfamiliar aircraft had appeared in his superior's office before him.

"Commander John? And who is this?"

Somewhat puzzled, he turned his gaze to his superior, for Gale knew better than anyone else the other's identity in this base.

On the surface, Gale appears to be the captain of the Carlo base.

But in reality, John, from the top echelons of TPC, is the leader of the Caro base. He was sent here specifically to restrain and counterbalance Gale.

Of course, in John's own words, "I was sent here."

Having offended a high-ranking official, John was relegated to the Carol base under the pretext of "checking down Captain Gale," and he himself began to slack off.

John wouldn't bother with what was happening at Carol's base unless absolutely necessary.

He only reported back after each mission was completed, thanks to Jifeng's strong insistence; otherwise, he wouldn't even bother listening to the mission reports.

In this situation, John's willingness to personally greet this unfamiliar driver can only mean that the other party's identity is very special.

"This is an advisor from the Extraterrestrial Alliance, and also the executor responsible for handling this incident."

John smiled and waved to Gale, gesturing for him to sit down and talk.

"You can call him Li Zhe; he's practically our colleague."

He sat down without making a sound, and Gale neither agreed nor disagreed with John's statement.

However, through John's conversation, Gale understood why his superior would personally receive this advisor from the Extraterrestrial Alliance.

Despite the fact that the Extraterrestrial Alliance is still a semi-independent branch organization to the outside world.

However, within TPC, the Galvin Group, the mastermind behind the Extraterrestrial Alliance, had long been an indispensable member of TPC.

In this situation, the arrival of this advisor was tantamount to giving John an opportunity, a chance to return to Earth.

After all, apart from a minority like Gale, there are no exceptions in this world.

Most people don't want to spend decades in this desolate lunar Carlo base, where there's nothing there.

"Sir, I've shot down that unidentified flying object..."

......................................................................................................

Without interrupting John and Gale's conversation, Lu Xuan simply listened with a faint smile.

As for the rejection that Gale showed towards himself?

Lu Xuan pretended not to see it at all.

As for how to describe Jifeng, Lu Xuan could only use the word "arrogant".

It was an arrogance that came from the very core of one's being.

It is also a kind of pride and perseverance to guard the Carlo base even if only one person is left.

For one of the most elite and top-tier pilots among humans, he genuinely despised any "connections."

It was obvious that Lu Xuan, who was disguised, was the "connection" in his eyes.

A person with no combat record or merit, yet who received full courtesy from the highest-ranking officer of the Carlo base simply because of his status.

However, while Jifeng genuinely looked down on those with connections, he didn't try to hide anything because of it.

During his report to John on the sortie, Gale made no attempt to hide his several tactical mistakes and the issues with coordination with the base.

It was through Jifeng's report that Lu Xuan roughly understood what had happened.

First, there were some basic facts that Lu Xuan already knew from Sha Ji.

Aliens have invaded Earth, and two spacecraft have invaded simultaneously.

However, these invading aliens were rather unlucky. They were discovered by the TPC as soon as they entered Earth's outer space, and one of their spacecraft was shot down by the space cannon.

Earth has dispatched the entire Victory Team to repeatedly search the crash site of the spacecraft.

Although the remaining spacecraft managed to escape TPC's fire, it was still captured by the space station in outer space and the Carlo base on the far side of the moon.

Then there was information that Lu Xuan didn't know.

In the previous fierce firefight, the aircraft was shot down by the Carlo airship piloted by Gale.

Gale will arrive at John's place immediately to report the situation.

On the one hand, it was necessary to report the mission, and on the other hand, it was also to ask the other side to send someone to search the crash site.

"Wait, where did that alien spacecraft crash?"

John instantly grasped the crux of the problem, his eyes widening in surprise.

I was indeed sent by TPC to restrain Captain Hayate.

The problem is, John had already been openly and blatantly slacking off for a long time.

As the captain of the combat squad at the Carlo base, Gale knew this better than anyone else.

Therefore, theoretically speaking, Gale has the authority to dispatch personnel to search for the crashed aircraft.

But instead of rushing to the scene immediately, Gale has run back to base to seek his orders, which seems rather odd.

Yes, that's the place you're thinking of.

Gale silently stared at John, then shrugged helplessly.

If the location where the aircraft crashed hadn't been so sensitive, Captain Gale, who is known for his "courage," would never have so easily run back to seek help.

"Damn it! How could it be such a coincidence?"

John slammed his fist on his desk in frustration, knowing that he could no longer slack off even if he wanted to.

Because if something goes wrong there, I'll be the first one to take the blame.

"Quickly send a signal to Earth, saying that we're in trouble here and requesting assistance."

"It would be best to send professionals over and prepare for the worst."

After a slight pause, John seemed to remember something and suddenly looked at Lu Xuan, who hadn't said much.

"Consultant Li, if I remember correctly, you have a background in 'archaeology', right?"

Chapter 509 Lunar Ruins - Royal Valley

An hour later, Lu Xuan stood in front of the main control panel at the Carlo base, looking completely bewildered.

Meanwhile, on the various screens at the base, it was displayed that more than a dozen state-of-the-art aircraft had departed from the Carlo base and were heading to another base on the far side of the moon.

"So, now you should tell me what happened, right?"

Lu Xuan slowly turned his head to look at John beside him, still not understanding what had happened.

He had never even heard of another base on the lunar surface before.

If it weren't inconvenient to contact Zhizi right now, Lu Xuan would have planned to find out what was going on through her.

After all, Lu Xuan's curiosity never lingers overnight.

"Simply put, TPC is secretly conducting an archaeological research project on the moon."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xuan was at a loss for what expression to make.

TPC? The Moon? Archaeology?

Lu Xuan simply couldn't connect these three words together, just as he couldn't understand why John wanted to keep him here.

Looking at John's serious face, Lu Xuan didn't think the other man would joke about something like this.

"Consultant Li, are you interested in deeper cooperation with me, or rather with the Carlo base?"

"For example, jointly developing that secret archaeological research project?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Xuan immediately understood.

It seems that this is the real reason why John wanted to stay behind.

John was interested in Lu Xuan's background—namely, the influence of the Extraterrestrial Alliance or the Galvin Group.

Whether Lu Xuan is an archaeology major or not is not important.

At least, it wasn't important to John.

"what do you want?"

Considering his current status, Lu Xuan asked the question very directly.

Given his current status, it is not appropriate for Lu Xuan to make direct decisions regarding collaborations involving secret projects.

Therefore, asking John about his purpose now is more in line with Lu Xuan's current persona.

Moreover, Lu Xuan was indeed very curious about what John wanted to gain by doing something that was almost a betrayal of the Carlo base or TPC's interests.

"It's simple, just let me go back to Earth."

John was somewhat surprised by Lu Xuan's bluntness, but he quickly recovered.

Because he suddenly realized that no matter how human Lu Xuan looked now, he was still an advisor to the Extraterrestrial Alliance.

In other words, the middle-aged man in front of him is most likely a disguised form of some kind of alien.

These outsiders, who do not belong to human society, probably find it difficult to understand the complex interpersonal relationships and social customs within human society.

“I did not come to the Carlo base voluntarily; I was exiled here because of a defeat in a factional struggle.”

After figuring out Lu Xuan's identity, John gave a very detailed account of his current situation.

"I don't want to stay at the Carlo base forever..."

"I don't want to spend my whole life facing this lifeless land..."

His words were filled with self-pity.

John knew that this guy in front of him was probably the last chance he could get.

After all, outsiders rarely come to the Carlo base, especially outsiders with connections like Lu Xuan.

Call it desperation and grasping at straws, or call it exceptional foresight...

In short, John is now completely open with Lu Xuan.

“I admire people like Gale who are willing to stay here, but I know very well that I could never do that.”

"If you can help me get out of here, I will tell you everything I know."

Lu Xuan fell silent, seemingly beginning to understand John's actions.
