More than an hour later, the enormous screen before Shen Bing could no longer display the moon in its entirety.
The undulating terrain on the screen showed no trace of life. This was a dead world.
Nothing strange about that. It was perfectly normal for the moon to have no life.
At that moment, A2 began to decelerate!
Once its speed had stabilized at Mach 5, it began flying around the moon.
Ghost One deftly operated A2's controls. The two Over-the-Horizon Telescopes mounted on either side of the fuselage activated and began a systematic sweep of the lunar surface.
In fact, Shen Bing could easily locate the dark patch using the lunar orbital satellite image he had seen earlier. In theory, there was little point in conducting such a search.
But Shen Bing did it anyway, worried that there might be other, undiscovered anomalies on the moon.
Fortunately, this side happened to be facing the sun. Otherwise, no matter how impressive the Over-the-Horizon Telescopes were, they would have been helpless without light.
After several dozen minutes of flying without discovering any other anomalies on the surface, he instructed Ghost No. 1 to advance toward the destination.
In less than two minutes, A2 came to a stop in the empty space above it.
Through the images captured by the Over-the-Horizon Telescopes, Shen Bing took in everything below.
The sight before him shook him to his core.
The scene on the ground was no different from the satellite image he had seen earlier. A cluster of buildings formed a square, their uniformly black structures creating the appearance he had seen from above.
Not only that, Shen Bing also saw "objects" moving among the buildings—objects would have to do for now, since he could not be certain whether they were alien life-forms.
