Moon Man (2022) Movie Script
1
I think I am very well suited for this job
but I have a few concerns
I bought my insurance in Qiqihar
will the insurance
still be in effect on the moon?
Slow down, we haven't given you an offer
You describe yourself as
a "middle man"
What does that mean?
You know how the saying goes
"Tall poppy gets the chop"
That's why over the years I have kept
my height weight grades
even my looks
as average as possible
so that I can fit in with the crowd
During my middle school entrance exam
I even skipped a question on purpose
That's enough
All of our engineer positions
have been filled
would you consider be in maintenance?
That's right
Although I wanted to say no
I became a maintenance worker
for the UNMS Project
What is the United Nations
Moon Shield Project
Simply put, the moon is used as a shield
against astroids that
are about to hit Earth
Astroids colliding with Earth
is really going to happen
This is an astroid near Mars' orbit
After millenias of revolving around Mars
Mars' attraction finally wore off
So it decided to leave
In eight years' time it will embrace
Earth with a resounding bang
This out-of-line astroid is named
Yes
is about to hit Earth
Humanity dies at the hand of math afterall
When this news broke
every conversation revolved around
the End of the World
PEL fires its final shot
Grab your doomsday airdrop
Latest news
Wonder Garden demolishes
its nearly completed buildings
to build an 18-story
underground refuge apartment
If the astroid hits Earth
will the good looking ones die first
or the ugly ones?
Astrologist Dr. Du
gave us a definitive answer
Everyone dies
To prevent the end of mankind
the United Nations convened at Geneva
In the end
the Chinese representative's proposal
received unanimous approval
Instead of waiting
why not
go on the offensive
There were four steps to the plan
Step one
Expand the existing
infrastructure on the moon
Step two
Use Helium-3 to create a super weapon
called Cosmic Striking Hammer
Step three
Destroy using the Cosmic Striking Hammer
Step four
Use the lunar gravitational pull
to attract debris of
the astroid to defend Earth
It took eight years
we have successfully launched
the Cosmic Striking Hammer
It looks like this crisis
for mankind has been averted
As a member of the UNMS Project
now that I'm about to return
victorious after saving mankind
it's time to turn my attention
to my personal concerns
Xing
Do you remember when
we first met eight years ago?
I've been waiting for
a chance to tell you how I feel
but the timing was never right
If you'll accept me
please
take these two figurines
Attention! Airlock open
Hey! You
Colleague
From maintenance department right?
Hey! Come on
Come on
Help me take a photo shoot
Come
The camera is really expensive
Be careful
Everyone get ready
Alright
Three
Two
One
What are you doing?
Which department do you work for?
Doesn't matter
Until the job is complete
do not let your guard down
Tell the maintenance crew
they leave with us on the FR001 spacecraft
Same spacecraft
Same spacecraft
Maybe I should write her a letter?
Commander
A solar storm caused
Striking Hammer No.5
to swerve from its programmed path
Some astroid debris escaped the lunar orbit
and are about to collide with the moon
Our base is also within
radius of the impact
How much time do we have left?
27 minutes and 38 seconds
37 seconds
36 seconds
Calling all departments
head to the launch platform immediately
follow emergency evacuation protocol
Everyone
needs to evacuate as quickly as possible
Warning! Emergency evacuation
I thought
I already worked up the courage
but the moment I saw you
I couldn't make out a single word
So
I decided to write you this letter
when you receive this letter
I will be sitting right behind you
in the most noticeable spot
If you would accept me
just turn around and smile at me
If that's too conspicuous
knock three times on your
helmet with your left hand
that way I'll know
Program MG6630 is ready to go
Evacuation status?
Nine spacecrafts have yet to evacuate
Within five minutes
all of them must launch
Over these eight years
we have brushed past
each other multiple times
This time
I won't let that happen again
Thank god, most of them are still here
This is Yue from maintenance
my ID is P03008
I have not boarded
Please wait for me
Debris of have entered the lunar orbit
they're interfering with
our communication system
Begin the launch sequence
Start the MH-300 engine
Are you all deaf?
Can nobody hear me?
You're missing one person
That huge empty seat
don't you see it?
Stiff neck?
Yeah
You too?
Yup
Warning! Crater ahead
Go
All crew have evacuated
31 seconds until debris
of hit the moon's surface
Time for us to go
Start the countdown
Prepare for takeoff
Ten
Nine
Eight
Three
Two
One
Takeoff
Are you kidding me?
There's one more person here
Two shells
cannot land in the
same
shell
crater
Warning! Low oxygen
Emergency call connecting
What's wrong with you people?
You treat me like
crap normally I can let that go
but in times like these
you couldn't knock on my door
take off my headphones
and tell me
it's time to go!
Connected
Hello
I'm in a jiffy
they left me on the moon
That's right
All 299 crew members left
they made sure the floor was clean
but only left me behind
My position?
The fourth crater to the right
of the base entrance
I'm the only one here
pretty hard to miss if you're looking
This is UNMS Base
Please respond if you hear me
This is UNMS Base
Please respond if you hear me
It has been six days
since the UNMS Project failed
In these six days
I called Earth countless
times through all channels
I have one good news
and three bad news
the good news is
I'm still alive
the bad news is
the UNMS Project failed
the Earth has been destroyed
and I'm still alive
The base's survival system
is basically intact
there's enough food to feed 300 people
for another 114 days
that's enough food for me
to live the rest of my life on the moon
now if I take care of myself
I'm taking care of all of humanity
Let the sound of crying follow
the wild crane's flight
Let your legacy live on forever
as you smile from above
This happened all too sudden
Spirits be with me
May all of you
rest in peace
Xing
I have so many regrets
There was so much I wanted to say
that I didn't say
So many things I wanted to do
but didn't do
Just give me a few more days
there's still something I
have to do before I die
To be honest
my biggest wish right now
is to spend some time in your room
Your birthday?
Your height and weight?
You wouldn't be so crude as to
use your BWH as your password?
Of course you're not that crude
Go
Armstrong
I'm sorry
Why didn't I think of this earlier?
This is definitely much
bigger
Let me make a toast
this toast has two layers of meanings
The first is an apology
I'm sorry
to have arrived
so late in your life
The second is gratitude
thank you for opening your door
and accepting me
I will fix the door
Here! Don't just drink
try my cooking
Oh I'm so sorry
I missed a spot
Three days of watching this
my poor eyes
Fortunately no one outside
this room can see this
Commander
take it easy
the water's boiling hot
We still haven't gotten
in contact with Yue?
Second unit has been trying nonstop
but the communication system
between Earth and Moon
has been severely damaged
only video imagery from
the moon is being transmitted
So that means
aside from watching this guy
there's nothing we can do
We're mobilizing all available resources
in two years I'm sure
we'll be able to contact Yue
Earth's technologies are so behind now
even if we reestablish communication
we do not have the ability to rescue him
Stop wasting resources
on meaningless things
Who says it's meaningless?
Hurry
Chairman
It was my negligence that
resulted in Yue being left on the moon
I will accept any disciplinary actions
An opportunity presents itself
for you to make up for it
My superiors request that
30 days from now
we will live stream Yue's life on the moon
for the whole world to see
This meteorite impact
caused the American
and African plates to fracture
resulting in tsunamis
that have flooded 30 percent
of the Earth's land mass
Inland cities are mired in volcano ash
toxic gas concentration
severely exceeds safe levels
the situation is dire to say the least
Brother
when will the sun come out?
My plant will die
if it doesn't get sunlight
Come here Grape
Look
the sun is out
Chairman
We know the situation is dire
but what does that have
to do with live streaming Yue?
Yes! Chairman
shouldn't we focus our energy
on post-crisis rebuilding efforts?
Compared to the harsh environment
the condition of the
survivors is more worrisome
Humanity's habitat has moved underground
Living conditions are challenging
diseases spread like wildfire
meals can only satisfy basic survival needs
depression rates are skyrocketing
In this current state
they will not be able
to hold out for very long
For two please
Brother
there's no living like this
with all the power outages
after we eat
why don't we go help with the power grid
I'd be useless
Why would you say that?
You are the level 8
mechanical fitter from our factory
your hands did the work of a machine
So what am I left with?
I wouldn't have ended up
like this if I didn't try to rescue you
Which is why
if we can get people to see Yue as a hero
a role model that they want to be
perhaps they will be able
to find hope for the future
But based on what we've seen of Yue
aren't you expecting too much of him?
Step one
Create a public image
Here we go again
I told you
we shouldn't have chosen
this subway station
It's not deep enough
What are you doing?
You're an idol
Watch your image
Watch your image?
Dude this is the end of the world
and you're worried about my image
Are you an idiot?
I used to be an A-list idol
now what the hell am I?
Now you are an idol
on A-train in the subway
I got you a gig in Car No.2
perform for a granny fangirl's birthday
Even now
I still have fans?
She likes the Beast from Kungfu Hustle
Get out of here
you idiot
Step two
Dub his voice
the sound signal on the moon
is not transmitting to Earth
This gives us room to be creative
We can dub Yue's voice
to create a positive image of him
The young will always overtake the old
Ma
My seat will eventually be yours
That's not necessary
This is the UNMS Project
Command Center in Asia
We have been authorized by the UN
to make this announcement
We have found
a survivor on the moon
On the day of our evacuation
our base was struck by meteorites
we had no choice but to leave
At this critical time
our hero gave up
the last seat in our vehicle
to another crew member
As he traveled on foot
to the spacecraft launch platform
the meteorites rained down upon him
We thought he had perished
but amazingly
he made it out alive
and he survives to this very day
The survivor is a member of
the UNMS maintenance crew
his name is Yue Dugu
In 30 days
we will live stream
Yue Dugu's life on the moon
We hope he will drive away
the fears in our hearts
and shine a light
on the path towards our future
Wait a minute
What if people don't believe us?
Step three
Convince them
That's ridiculous
I don't buy it
Me neither
Xing
After spending these months together
I no longer have any regrets
maybe it's time
for us to meet again
I haven't left this room at all
tried to starve to death
I lasted three days
before I couldn't take it
then I almost stuffed myself to death
I thought about going outside
and taking off my helmet
but if I explode
you wouldn't recognize me right?
Dying is hard work
"Sleep to Death" Medicine
Xing
is this you helping me?
I have to go to the warehouse
Three minutes until we stream live
Unit 3 you have 180 seconds
Is something wrong?
We lost the video feed
trying to fix it now
This is a worldwide live stream
there are no room for mistakes
Yes sir
The voice actor is still not here?
He's here
The sole remaining voice actor
in the country is here
Your setup is unimpressive
but that's understandable
Script
There's no script?
No big deal
I'm good at improv
We got the signal back
30-second countdown
You know the assignment?
Do the guy's voice in the video
15 seconds
Starving aren't you?
That's ok
This is enough for the two of us
The minute he appears
start talking
make it inspirational
give the people hope
Leave it to me
It's nice to meet you
but I am already in love with someone else
Three
Two
-One -Start
What a fantastic day!!
What a fantastic day!!
What a fantastic day!!
What a fantastic day!!
Salty?
What the?
Is that kangaroo talking?
It's not talking
there's a lag between sound and image
Well duh! I knew that
Get out of here
What's the deal with the kangaroo
I just got confirmation
The research department did
indeed leave behind a red kangaroo
Terrible temper and gluttonous
nicknamed King Kong Roo
And the voice actor?
We also confirmed that
I was duped
He is just an online influencer
who does funny voice overs
Cocky and gluttonous
nicknamed The Flutist
None of you anticipated
that a kangaroo would show up
This isn't entirely my fault
but
to express my sincere apologies
I'll play an old song
All My Fault
for all of you
All my fault
Great job guys
Of all the animals
you leave the one with the worst temper
King Kong Roo
No wonder
you tackle me when I touch the drugs
But not to worry
I will get them
Will it work to say
we're narrating instead?
Or you can tell the survivors
that we trained a kangaroo to talk
Narrating it is
King Kong Roo has taken over the warehouse
In response Yue raises his shovel
and forcefully
steps over him
He would never attack
King Kong Roo when he is asleep
because he is a
Good Moonman
Take this cane for safe keeping
for old age
Xing
can you feel me getting
closer to where you are?
He's beating me to death
It's fine if I actually die
but he leaves me half dead
No!
I must let him know
that he knows nothing
about humans
A surprise move! Yue seems to be
trying to seduce the kangaroo
What do you want?
Look familiar?
Yue just got drop kicked!
Look what he did
I flew so far
so fast
The indignity!
I will be back
I will be back
We gave an unreliable person
an even more unreliable voice actor
Now Yue is a jokester to the world
I'm responsible for this
Commander
I have to disagree with you
This isn't your fault
It's The Flutist
who turned our master plan into a joke
As the person sitting closest to him
my objective opinion of him is
I'm right here you guys
and this isn't entirely my fault
that duo on the moon have
to bear some responsibilities
An old song
Moon Trouble
for all of you
Get out
Go play your flute elsewhere
Sir, there's a situation with Yue
He 3D printed a Gatling Gun!
Today
will be your last day
Bring it on
Finally he's looking like a hero
I'm sorry
Stop chasing me
Nice!
Move your foot
I think I hear the sound of ukelele
That's just The Flutist
Flutist
Stop it
Stop it
Stop it
Commander
There's an emergency
Something is wrong with Yue
He's not moving
It looks like he's not breathing
Yue this is UNMS do you read me?
Turn on all channels
Copy
The transmission signal is at its strongest
Yue
Yue
This is Xing do you read me?
Yue
This is UNMS Base
Who just called out?
Hello?
The signal's no good
just answer me yes or no
Are you
members of the UNMS Project?
Are you
all still alive?
You remembered me?
Did Yue hear us?
Impossible
Our communication matrix hasn't been fixed
This makes no scientific sense
A lot of things
cannot be explained by science
Earth!
Mother!
Let's not fight anymore
I'll bring you home
Give me five!
This is Yue
ID P03008
Do you read me?
This is Yue
ID P03008
Do you read me?
Kong
Finish eating later
Put down what you're working on
and listen up
We have officially
become a family
Although we don't get along
at least this family is intact
As the head of the household
I'd like to pose a question
for us to discuss
Why is it that after that day
Earth never contacted us again?
What do you think?
Are you serious?
Sending those two signals
took everything we had!
Duh!
That's what I thought
You survived
that's already a miracle
So
About the plan to rescue me...
Get out of here!
We can't count on Xing to pick up us
If we want to go back
We have to rely on ourselves
Since 1969
the Apollo Program
carried out multiple successful missions
But in 1974
right when Apollo 18
was preparing for another moon landing
the mission was aborted unexpectedly
It wasn't until the UNMS Project began
that relevant documents were declassified
The truth was the
Apollo 18 mission wasn't cancelled
the spacecraft suffered
an accident after landing
To this day
the spacecraft remains
on the moon where it landed
Yue is finally getting his act together
We all forgot about Apollo 18
If the spacecraft is still usable
he could use its command module
to return to the Moon Palace
Space Station near the lunar orbit
then take the escape pod
to return to Earth
Got some more good news
a surviving expert from GSA
has authorized us to use their lunar dog
the dog is under a pile of ruins in Collins
we can control the dog using
the backup communication system
to get in contact with Yue
If Yue can return safely to Earth
that would be the greatest
inspiration for all survivors
only then can we call
this mission a success
There's hope?
There's hope
Then give it a shot
Americans said it themselves
that the Apollo Program back in the day
was like driving a washing
machine across the Pacific Ocean
This washing machine is pretty beat up
but you think
these meager setbacks
can knock me down?
I'm going down
Down I go
Yue has finally began
building the raft that will take him home
Watching his story unfolds
as he wanders the moon
wander the moon...
That reminds me of a
classical movie starring
the missing award winning actor Wu Jing
Kill Zone 2
Commander
Have some water
I let it cool
See
It's still burning
How did he do all that?
Isn't he just a maintenance guy?
Wow that's a lot of photoshop
Flight Dynamics Engineer
Then why is he in the
maintenance department?
Kong
we have a problem
The rocket engine of Apollo 18
is beyond repair
the spacecraft's weight limit is just 10 kg
you alone severely exceed the limit
Do you have any ideas?
If you can't think of anything
I have a last resort
We've spent so much time together
you're like a brother to me
But life is full of surprises
My last resort is to leave you here
As for me
I can lose weight to just 10 kg
An unfortunate circumstance
I have no choice
but to ditch you
Scumbag
Kong why don't you believe me?
I was just getting you water
If I really wanted to ditch you
I would leave you somewhere far away
I'd leave you at Catena Mendeleev
at the Space Odyssey Monument
at Gagarin
or at Wan-Hoo
Wan-Hoo...
There was a man named
Wan-Hoo from the Ming Dynasty
He wanted to fly
so he sat in a chair
with fireworks tied onto it
We have the chair
just need the fireworks
The firework with the
greatest power is right on the moon
The prototype of the Striking Hammer
is stored here
at the first human base on the moon
Lacus Perseverantia
Research Base
Sorry to interrupt
Have you guys figured it out?
What am I supposed to tell the viewers?
What's the matter?
Hasn't Yue
already found a way to get back home?
If he tries this
there's no coming back
He's gone mad
He's really going to do it
Yue
What are you thinking?
Obviously
you
Get out!
Get out
How many times have I told you
this trip is very dangerous, you can't come
Get out
Don't give me the dirty look
I'm telling you
Threatening me won't work
Beating me won't work, get out!
You really had to do it
Why are you so mean
I'm telling you
the only reason I'm bringing you
is because of your persistence
Theoretically speaking
the engine of the Cosmic Striking Hammer
could replace the engine of Apollo 18
but to bring it back to the UNMS Base
is absolutely impossible
The transport vehicle
operates on solar power
One day on the moon
is equal to 14 days on Earth
Even if he drives continuously for 14 days
the vehicle's mileage limit
is 6500km
But a round trip to Lacus Perseverantia
is over 8000km
Right now
Yue is waiting for the sunrise
Because the vehicle relies on solar power
Yue must return to the base before sundown
But based on our calculations
this is an impossible mission
Perhaps
our streaming series is
coming to an end
Maybe he has other plans in mind
Lacus Perseverantia is to
the east of the UNMS Base
but the WG21 road sign
is to the west of the UNMS Base
that means he's driving west
So much for his grand plan
He's driving in the wrong direction!
If we were on Earth
this would indeed be an impossible mission
But
we're on the moon
There it is
He's not going the wrong way
I'm going the opposite way on purpose
-This -This
-is all a part of my plan
-is all a part of his plan
The moon rotates at a rate of 16.6 km/h
which means sunlight moves
on the moon's surface
also at a speed of 16.6 km/h
If we chase the sun
daylight extends from 14 Earth days
to 41 Earth days
We thought this mission was impossible
because daytime wasn't long enough
If I extend the daytime
the mission becomes entirely possible
As long as he drives for 20 hours each day
make a full circle around the moon
picking up the Striking Hammer
-The mission would be complete
-The mission would be complete
Sit tight Kong
According to my plan
we rest for four hours each day
and drive for 31 days
for a total of 11,920km
to reach the base
from the opposite direction
We pick up the Cosmic Striking Hammer
drive for another ten days
and arrive back at the
UNMS Base before sundown
There they go!
Yue is on his way!
The sun never sets
and the day lasts forever
As I watch Yue chase the sunlight
let us all pray that the sun will never set
because sunset means his life would set
You're awake
Go ahead
In space no one can hear you scream
Your destination is on your left
Your destination is here
What is your purpose?
We're here Kong!
We're here!
Kong we're here!
We're here!
We're here!
The disaster from five years ago
left all of the Lacus Perseverantia Base
in ruins
Kong don't touch anything
Kong
This is the most powerful
weapon in the history of mankind
Don't touch anything
Kong
You incorrigible beast!
Inspection complete
Playing around with missiles!
You've really outdone yourself
I'm putting you in time-out
After 31 tireless days
Yue has finally picked up
the Cosmic Striking Hammer
only one fourth of the way
remains in his journey
As long as Yue
continues at his current speed
he will safely arrive back
at the UNMS Base within ten days
This trip has gone smoother than I expected
It's very possible
that I am the Chosen One
Where's my cart?
It's too late
If Yue turns around to save King Kong Roo
there won't be enough time before sundown
to return to the UNMS Base
He can't go back
Yue now faces the age old
philosophical question
To save
or not to save
If he goes back to save King Kong Roo
he will not have enough power
to drive back to the base
Even though King Kong Roo
is his only companion on the moon
when compared to Yue's life
I think King Kong Roo's storyline
is coming to an end
If he doesn't save King Kong Roo
what will happen to him?
He can't go back
But
he will
I'm not
If you die it's not my fault
I told you not to come
you had to come
If I go back for you
we'll both die
You'll die, I'll die
You'll die, I'll die
You'll die, I'll die
You'll die, I'll die
You'll die, I'll die
So be it!
He turned around!
He actually turned around!
Kong
I'm coming
That turn around drift
drifted him into my heart
What a man!
There's a type of person in this world
They never stand out in a crowd
Their lives are mundane and ordinary
but in moments that matter
they are the ones who step up
and carry the world on their shoulders
Yue is that type of person!
Idiot
Alright
Alright
that's enough get dressed let's go
Stop that
I take a punch better than
I take compliments
Ouch
Commander
All calculations say it's too late
there's no way they make it
Don't give up
If Yue doesn't give up
we can't give up either
Even though the numbers say he's dead
I don't believe in science
What's the situation with the lunar dog?
We're doing our best
but it's still digging out of the ashes
The shovel is too small
There's a radioisotope battery
on the lunar dog
That battery pack
can ensure that his vehicle
uses the minimum power
As long as we get the lunar dog
to meet up with Yue
he will have a chance to return to the base
Got it
From now on
I want 24 hour
surveillance of Yue's vehicle
Based on road signs
track Yue's route
make sure Yue and the lunar dog
are able to intersect
Coordinates 53.53E
2.5N
Yue has entered the northeast area
of Mare Fecunditatis
142 hours until sunset
Yue has driven without sleep or rest
for 53 hours
The battery reserve
will last another five hours
they still have a chance
The lunar dog is out
I'm sending it to Yue
Because Yue has entered power saving mode
I cannot accurately pinpoint
his exact location
but he has to be along this route
This is the shortest route back to the base
Hang on
55km
We were so close
I have good news and bad news
The good news is
there won't be anymore bad news
The bad news is
there won't be anymore good news either
He's only 55km out
The spacesuit allows for
five hours of outdoor activity
Traveling 55km on the moon in five hours
is impossible
Where's the lunar dog?
Five kilometers away
There's a cliff one kilometer out
Circle around it
Not enough time
We must have the dog use low gravity
to jump over it
I'll do it
Take a break Yue
Leave the rest to us
Lunar Dog
It's up to you!
Where's my dog?
The grownups used to say
when people die
they become stars in the sky
I don't want to become a star
Because
I would be too far away from
the person I want to be with
I never knew
she had that side to her
Later I discovered
that she often adopts stray cats and dogs
I was hoping to find
an opportunity to ask her
if she would take in a stray man
Look
What is he doing?
A Kangaroo sled
Trained kangaroos
can reach a speed of 30km/h on the moon
Kong
We're racing time
Remember
Speed first
Kong
I misspoke
I meant to say
Safety first
It's a miracle!
No
Yue is a miracle!
I knew he wouldn't go die
Kong
Go for it
Yue
is flying!
The live stream of Yue
has brought hope to all of humanity
and has created positive chemistry
between the lives of all survivors
This is why
this year's Robel Prize in Chemistry
will be awarded to Yue
Most of the dust have dissipated
The communication matrix
is close to completion
Without mishap
in three month's time
we will be able to get in contact with Yue
That's good news
I will report it to my superiors
According to weather forecast data
the climate recovering rate
exceeds experts' predictions
So far 45 million tons
of airborne dust have settled
The improvement has been
noticeable over the Eurasian plate
due to atmospheric circulation
Night time air quality improved drastically
Let everyone know
there will never be another power outage
That level 8 fitter
has returned!
Open the door!
The level 8 fitter has returned
Brother
how did you get hit by lightning?
Stop
Is the power back on?
Yes
You went to work on the dam
we'll never have a power outage again
Not so sure about that
I didn't even get there
Brother
You have to make it back
I'll make it back
Kong
We have a problem
Putting together technology
from two different eras
is much harder than
I imagined
Difficult it may be
but we still gotta eat and live
no use being down about it
It's them!
They're contacting us
Kong
This is Yue
ID P03008
Do you read me?
This is Yue

Do you read me?
This is Yue
ID P03008
Do you read me?
How much longer
until the comm system is fixed?
At least one month
We have to get in touch with him quickly
Xing
I learned how to sing your favorite song
I thought I would have
a chance to sing it to you
Now it seems
that won't be possible
Did you know
Over the years I got used to loneliness
Only now have I realized
what makes life worth living is
when you get home late from work
having someone to leave a light on for you
When you're tired
having someone to drink with you
When you're feeling down
having someone to embrace you
Over the last two years
I did my best to stay alive
so that I could go back to Earth
Go back
to where you are
But now
I no longer have any reason to keep going
This isn't entirely your fault
In honor of our adventures
Here
Give me five
This will keep you company from now on
This is the commander of the UNMS Project
Xing
I have a few words to say to all of you
I trust that all of you like myself
have been closely following
the coverage of our hero Yue
But today I have to tell everyone
that Yue
is no hero
He is just someone
we mistakenly left on the moon
An average Joe
Over the past year
I have done everything to make him a hero
Because in my mind
someone who's so awkward
could never bring us any hope
But I was wrong
It was precisely this awkward guy
whose perseverence
gave those of us in the depth of despair
a ray of light
a glimmer of hope
Warning! Low air tightness
We watched him circle the moon
rescue King Kong Roo
build a spacecraft piece by piece
in order to return home
We watched him do all
of this alone on the moon
No one really knows how lonely he must feel
And now he is tired
He needs someone to lift him up
and this someone
is all of us who have been
witnessing his journey
At this very moment
we must light up the Earth
to give Yue a ray of light
in his time of darkness
Light
will be his hope
and we
will be his light!
Lights on!
We must tell him
Yue
You are not alone
You are no one
Why insult me?
Yue
This is UNMS
Can you see us?
Yue
Are you doing ok?
Say something! Anything!
Mr. Yue
I bet you didn't know
for more than a year now
we've been live streaming
your video feed nonstop
I narrated the whole thing
I didn't leave out a single detail
Shut up
You have the second highest
number of followers in the world
Do you know who is number one?
King Kong Roo!
Hi
Yue
Hi
This is our plan
whether or not Yue
can come back is up to us
Since getting in touch with Earth
my days have become unusually busy
The project to repair my spacecraft
has officially begun
What I didn't expect was that
I have to bring the Striking Hammer with me
They said it's for weight balance
But
these little things don't matter
I get to see Xing every day
That's the best part
But
now that the whole world is watching me
I must not stare at her so obviously
and give away how I feel about her
Xing
Even though we are 380,000km away
I have never felt so close to you
as I do now
Um
I have something
I've been meaning to tell you
Go ahead
Do you know
why I joined the maintenance department?
All of our engineer positions
have been filled
would you consider be in maintenance?
I'm sorry
It's time for me to cook dinner for my cats
This one looks good
It's me
I'm sorry
It's ok
If not for all the experience
I gained working in maintenance
I wouldn't be able to build this spacecraft
The truth is that when we evacuated
All crew have evacuated
31 seconds until debris
of hit the moon's surface
I saw you through the window
Time for us to go
Start the countdown
But I could not wait for you
I'm sorry
It's ok
You didn't know me back then
You made purely rational decisions
That's expected
What if
now
we were in that same situation?
Would you still leave me behind?
Yes
You are so cold-blooded
I
love it
Goodnight
Goodnight
This is Zero One

Where's the commander?
Zero One?
This meteor is actually still
When we blasted it
exploded into many pieces
the largest piece hit Earth
the other pieces were mostly debris
Some were captured by the lunar orbit
others float near the moon and Earth
What we didn't know was
among the fragments
remained another large piece
The United Nations has named it +
Have you confirmed its flight path?
Collisions between debris have
changed its flight path
Right now it is heading towards
Earth at an accelerated speed
There's only one person
who might be able to save us
The only Cosmic Striking Hammer
is on his spacecraft
This is humanity's last chance
Reporting to Zero One
We are at the escape pod chamber
Three out of six escape pods remain
Zero One?
Copy
Check on the conditions
Copy
I'll tell him
Wait
Turn off the live stream
Attention everyone
due to signal failures
we will temporarily stop the live stream
Yue
This is Xing
You're back
Escape pod check complete
They're in good conditions
Kong says he won't take them
He insists on floating back himself
Yue
I turned off the live stream
We have an emergency situation
+ right?
I heard everything
There's only one person
who might be able to save us
Zero One?
The only Cosmic Striking Hammer
is on his return spacecraft
But the missile
doesn't have it's own power system
he needs to pilot the spacecraft
and use inertia to launch the missile
If we detonate after
he retreats to a safe zone
he'll be able to make it back
This is humanity's last chance
The power of the
prototype Cosmic Striking Hammer
what are the chances of success?
And even if Yue succeeds
what are the chances
that he makes back alive?
I'll do it
Yue
we cannot guarantee
that this plan will work
It is a huge risk for you
You need to think clearly about this
But this is the only way to protect you
to protect you all
I'll only do it on one condition though
What's that?
If I don't make it back
don't stay in widowhood for me
Get out
Yes Ma'am!

As Minister of the United Nations
I have to inform you
that humanity once again is
standing in front of the crossroads of life and death
If the mission fails
humanity is incapable of
bearing the consequences of +
This catastrophe
has once again reminded us
that in the vast expanse of the universe
humankind is so insignificant
To be honest I've really
enjoyed our time together
although you did
beat me up quite a few times
You really can't go with me this time
This is my moment to shine
Don't try to take the spotlight from me
Thank you for keeping me company
If not for you
I wouldn't have made it to today
You have to make it safely back to Earth
live a long life
make the most of each day
and then
find a female kangaroo
make lots of baby kangaroos
You hear me Kong
Escaping pod ejected
Reporting to Zero One
There's a field of
meteorites in front of me
Those are debris of
left in the Earth-moon orbit
The spacecraft's framework
is not strong enough
to withstand debris impact
You need to be very careful
Copy
I will turn back immediately
Just kidding
I've been hit
I'm spinning out of control
The main thruster isn't working
The fuel cell is malfunctioning
Yue's heart rate is accelerating
His breathing is abnormal
The spacecraft is spinning at high speed
it's way off the flight path
Yue
Turn on the attitude control
to slow down the rotation
otherwise you will lose
consciousness very soon
Attitude control malfunctioning
Unable to gain control of attitude
I am still spinning
Angular velocity at 307
Yue
Open the cabin door
Use depressurization
to compensate the momentum of rotation
Isn't that too risky?
I'll take the risk
The cabin is deformed
The door is jammed
Reporting to Zero One
I have good news and bad news
which do you want to hear first?
Yue
The good news is
even though the engine was hit
based on its appearance
it should still be operational
The bad news is
while we were talking just now
I saw the engine float by
its got no power left
Reporting to Zero One
I see +
Based on the curent flight path
you will pass by +
from a distance of 1700km
Xing
I actually don't blame you at all
for leaving me on the moon
It was what you were supposed to do
-Yue -You have always done
what you were supposed to do
Now
keep doing what you're supposed to do
What I'm supposed to do?
No matter the reason
sacrificing a person
shouldn't be an option
You know as well as I do
there's no other way
Sync the flight path paramenters
to my control system
I will deliver the missile
to the detonation location
Xing
Turn on the live stream
Let the man with the
second highest popularity
wrap up twith a perfect curtain call
Hi everyone this is Yue
In these final moments
I'd like to say a few words to all of you
All this time
I have been living alone on the moon
There were so many
moments I thought of giving up
But thankfully
I was finally able to get in touch with you
I'm afraid I won't be able
to make it back this time
Don't feel bad for me
In the past
I always thought staying
in the middle was the best way to live
away from the spotlight
hidden in the crowd, living a simple life
Now I am what stands between + and Earth
This is what I "the middle man"
was meant to do
I didn't have a
family or friends growing up
It was all of you who made me
feel like I am no longer alone
Thank you
Fourteen forty-five
Missile detached from the spacecraft
I once dreamed
of flying far
I once had freedom
to travel like the wind
Looking back how could I have known
the most beautiful sights
the most desirable place
was right
by your side
I once asked
the mountains and the oceans
why the sight of you
I could never forget
When I got lost
there was always a light
is that you reminding me
of the way home?
Country roads take me home
Just let me
flow with the wind
become a fallen leaf
become a shooting star
drift into
your heart
My shoulders can carry
the weight of the Milky Way
but not the weight of you
missing me with tears in your eyes
I wandered alone I dreamed
my eyes followed wherever you went
Oh how I wish
Country roads take me home
Just let me
flow with the wind
become a fallen leaf
become a shooting star
drift into
your heart
Xing
Take me home
Brother
Does this mean we can go home?
Yes
The moonman
is taking us home
It has been more than
ten years since Yue's sacrifice
In these ten plus years
humanity has accomplished what
we thought would take decades to do
Although there remains much work to be done
At least we are now
able to breathe fresh air
hug our loved ones
Pliers!
Reveal our brilliant smiles
As we look to the future
no matter what challenges stand in our way
we will
not be stopped
Our exploration of the moon
will help us make progress
in rebuilding our homeland
I believe
returning to the moon
holds a special meaning
for each one of us
Wei Lasi
Great speech
you're more and more like the chairman
Who are you calling bald?

What a fantastic day!!
Ten years ago
the pieces of +
should have been drawn into the lunar orbit
But in the end
they settled in Earth's orbit
and became a planetary ring
I know
You've finally come home
I think I am very well suited for this job
but I have a few concerns
I bought my insurance in Qiqihar
will the insurance
still be in effect on the moon?
Slow down, we haven't given you an offer
You describe yourself as
a "middle man"
What does that mean?
You know how the saying goes
"Tall poppy gets the chop"
That's why over the years I have kept
my height weight grades
even my looks
as average as possible
so that I can fit in with the crowd
During my middle school entrance exam
I even skipped a question on purpose
That's enough
All of our engineer positions
have been filled
would you consider be in maintenance?
That's right
Although I wanted to say no
I became a maintenance worker
for the UNMS Project
What is the United Nations
Moon Shield Project
Simply put, the moon is used as a shield
against astroids that
are about to hit Earth
Astroids colliding with Earth
is really going to happen
This is an astroid near Mars' orbit
After millenias of revolving around Mars
Mars' attraction finally wore off
So it decided to leave
In eight years' time it will embrace
Earth with a resounding bang
This out-of-line astroid is named
Yes
is about to hit Earth
Humanity dies at the hand of math afterall
When this news broke
every conversation revolved around
the End of the World
PEL fires its final shot
Grab your doomsday airdrop
Latest news
Wonder Garden demolishes
its nearly completed buildings
to build an 18-story
underground refuge apartment
If the astroid hits Earth
will the good looking ones die first
or the ugly ones?
Astrologist Dr. Du
gave us a definitive answer
Everyone dies
To prevent the end of mankind
the United Nations convened at Geneva
In the end
the Chinese representative's proposal
received unanimous approval
Instead of waiting
why not
go on the offensive
There were four steps to the plan
Step one
Expand the existing
infrastructure on the moon
Step two
Use Helium-3 to create a super weapon
called Cosmic Striking Hammer
Step three
Destroy using the Cosmic Striking Hammer
Step four
Use the lunar gravitational pull
to attract debris of
the astroid to defend Earth
It took eight years
we have successfully launched
the Cosmic Striking Hammer
It looks like this crisis
for mankind has been averted
As a member of the UNMS Project
now that I'm about to return
victorious after saving mankind
it's time to turn my attention
to my personal concerns
Do you remember when
we first met eight years ago?
I've been waiting for
a chance to tell you how I feel
but the timing was never right
If you'll accept me
please
take these two figurines
Attention! Airlock open
Hey! You
Colleague
From maintenance department right?
Hey! Come on
Come on
Help me take a photo shoot
Come
The camera is really expensive
Be careful
Everyone get ready
Alright
Three

One
What are you doing?
Which department do you work for?
Doesn't matter
Until the job is complete
do not let your guard down
Tell the maintenance crew
they leave with us on the FR001 spacecraft
Same spacecraft
Same spacecraft
Maybe I should write her a letter?
Commander
A solar storm caused
Striking Hammer No.5
to swerve from its programmed path
Some astroid debris escaped the lunar orbit
and are about to collide with the moon
Our base is also within
radius of the impact
How much time do we have left?
27 minutes and 38 seconds
37 seconds
36 seconds
Calling all departments
head to the launch platform immediately
follow emergency evacuation protocol
Everyone
needs to evacuate as quickly as possible
Warning! Emergency evacuation
I thought
I already worked up the courage
but the moment I saw you
I couldn't make out a single word
So
I decided to write you this letter
when you receive this letter
I will be sitting right behind you
in the most noticeable spot
If you would accept me
just turn around and smile at me
If that's too conspicuous
knock three times on your
helmet with your left hand
that way I'll know
Program MG6630 is ready to go
Evacuation status?
Nine spacecrafts have yet to evacuate
Within five minutes
all of them must launch
Over these eight years
we have brushed past
each other multiple times
This time
I won't let that happen again
Thank god, most of them are still here
This is Yue from maintenance
my ID is P03008
I have not boarded
Please wait for me
Debris of have entered the lunar orbit
they're interfering with
our communication system
Begin the launch sequence
Start the MH-300 engine
Are you all deaf?

don't you see it?
Stiff neck?

You treat me like
crap normally I can let that go
but in times like these
you couldn't knock on my door
take off my headphones
and tell me
it's time to go!
Connected
Hello
I'm in a jiffy
they left me on the moon
That's right
All 299 crew members left
they made sure the floor was clean
but only left me behind
My position?
The fourth crater to the right
of the base entrance
I'm the only one here
pretty hard to miss if you're looking
This is UNMS Base
Please respond if you hear me
This is UNMS Base
Please respond if you hear me
It has been six days
since the UNMS Project failed
In these six days
I called Earth countless
times through all channels
I have one good news
and three bad news
the good news is
I'm still alive
the bad news is
the UNMS Project failed
the Earth has been destroyed
and I'm still alive
The base's survival system
is basically intact
there's enough food to feed 300 people
for another 114 days
that's enough food for me
to live the rest of my life on the moon
now if I take care of myself
I'm taking care of all of humanity
Let the sound of crying follow
the wild crane's flight
Let your legacy live on forever
as you smile from above
This happened all too sudden
Spirits be with me
May all of you
rest in peace
I have so many regrets
There was so much I wanted to say
that I didn't say
So many things I wanted to do
but didn't do
Just give me a few more days
there's still something I
have to do before I die
To be honest
my biggest wish right now
is to spend some time in your room
Your birthday?
Your height and weight?
You wouldn't be so crude as to
use your BWH as your password?
Of course you're not that crude
Go
Armstrong
I'm sorry
Why didn't I think of this earlier?
This is definitely much
bigger
Let me make a toast
this toast has two layers of meanings
The first is an apology
I'm sorry
to have arrived
so late in your life
The second is gratitude
thank you for opening your door
and accepting me
I will fix the door
Here! Don't just drink
try my cooking
Oh I'm so sorry
I missed a spot
Three days of watching this
my poor eyes
Fortunately no one outside
this room can see this
Commander
take it easy
the water's boiling hot
We still haven't gotten
in contact with Yue?
Second unit has been trying nonstop
but the communication system
between Earth and Moon
has been severely damaged
only video imagery from
the moon is being transmitted
So that means
aside from watching this guy
there's nothing we can do
We're mobilizing all available resources
in two years I'm sure
we'll be able to contact Yue
Earth's technologies are so behind now
even if we reestablish communication
we do not have the ability to rescue him
Stop wasting resources
on meaningless things
Who says it's meaningless?
Hurry
Chairman
It was my negligence that
resulted in Yue being left on the moon
I will accept any disciplinary actions
An opportunity presents itself
for you to make up for it
My superiors request that
30 days from now
we will live stream Yue's life on the moon
for the whole world to see
This meteorite impact
caused the American
and African plates to fracture
resulting in tsunamis
that have flooded 30 percent
of the Earth's land mass
Inland cities are mired in volcano ash
toxic gas concentration
severely exceeds safe levels
the situation is dire to say the least
Brother
when will the sun come out?
My plant will die
if it doesn't get sunlight
Come here Grape
Look
the sun is out
Chairman
We know the situation is dire
but what does that have
to do with live streaming Yue?
Yes! Chairman
shouldn't we focus our energy
on post-crisis rebuilding efforts?
Compared to the harsh environment
the condition of the
survivors is more worrisome
Humanity's habitat has moved underground
Living conditions are challenging
diseases spread like wildfire
meals can only satisfy basic survival needs
depression rates are skyrocketing
In this current state
they will not be able
to hold out for very long
For two please
Brother
there's no living like this
with all the power outages
after we eat
why don't we go help with the power grid
I'd be useless
Why would you say that?
You are the level 8
mechanical fitter from our factory
your hands did the work of a machine
So what am I left with?
I wouldn't have ended up
like this if I didn't try to rescue you
Which is why
if we can get people to see Yue as a hero
a role model that they want to be
perhaps they will be able
to find hope for the future
But based on what we've seen of Yue
aren't you expecting too much of him?
Step one
Create a public image
Here we go again
I told you
we shouldn't have chosen
this subway station
It's not deep enough
What are you doing?
You're an idol
Watch your image
Watch your image?
Dude this is the end of the world
and you're worried about my image
Are you an idiot?
I used to be an A-list idol
now what the hell am I?
Now you are an idol
on A-train in the subway
I got you a gig in Car No.2
perform for a granny fangirl's birthday
Even now
I still have fans?
She likes the Beast from Kungfu Hustle
Get out of here
you idiot
Step two
Dub his voice
the sound signal on the moon
is not transmitting to Earth
This gives us room to be creative
We can dub Yue's voice
to create a positive image of him
The young will always overtake the old
Ma
My seat will eventually be yours
That's not necessary
This is the UNMS Project
Command Center in Asia
We have been authorized by the UN
to make this announcement
We have found
a survivor on the moon
On the day of our evacuation
our base was struck by meteorites
we had no choice but to leave
At this critical time
our hero gave up
the last seat in our vehicle
to another crew member
As he traveled on foot
to the spacecraft launch platform
the meteorites rained down upon him
We thought he had perished
but amazingly
he made it out alive
and he survives to this very day
The survivor is a member of
the UNMS maintenance crew
his name is Yue Dugu
In 30 days
we will live stream
Yue Dugu's life on the moon
We hope he will drive away
the fears in our hearts
and shine a light
on the path towards our future
Wait a minute
What if people don't believe us?
Step three
Convince them
That's ridiculous
I don't buy it
Me neither
After spending these months together
I no longer have any regrets
maybe it's time
for us to meet again
I haven't left this room at all
tried to starve to death
I lasted three days
before I couldn't take it
then I almost stuffed myself to death
I thought about going outside
and taking off my helmet
but if I explode
you wouldn't recognize me right?
Dying is hard work
"Sleep to Death" Medicine
is this you helping me?
I have to go to the warehouse
Three minutes until we stream live
Unit 3 you have 180 seconds
Is something wrong?
We lost the video feed
trying to fix it now
This is a worldwide live stream
there are no room for mistakes
Yes sir
The voice actor is still not here?
He's here
The sole remaining voice actor
in the country is here
Your setup is unimpressive
but that's understandable
Script
There's no script?
No big deal
I'm good at improv
We got the signal back
30-second countdown
You know the assignment?
Do the guy's voice in the video
15 seconds
Starving aren't you?
That's ok
This is enough for the two of us
The minute he appears
start talking
make it inspirational
give the people hope
Leave it to me
It's nice to meet you
but I am already in love with someone else
Three

-One -Start
What a fantastic day!!
What a fantastic day!!
What a fantastic day!!
What a fantastic day!!
Salty?
What the?
Is that kangaroo talking?
It's not talking
there's a lag between sound and image
Well duh! I knew that
Get out of here
What's the deal with the kangaroo
I just got confirmation
The research department did
indeed leave behind a red kangaroo
Terrible temper and gluttonous
nicknamed King Kong Roo
And the voice actor?
We also confirmed that
I was duped
He is just an online influencer
who does funny voice overs
Cocky and gluttonous
nicknamed The Flutist
None of you anticipated
that a kangaroo would show up
This isn't entirely my fault
but
to express my sincere apologies
I'll play an old song
All My Fault
for all of you
All my fault
Great job guys
Of all the animals
you leave the one with the worst temper
King Kong Roo
No wonder
you tackle me when I touch the drugs
But not to worry
I will get them
Will it work to say
we're narrating instead?
Or you can tell the survivors
that we trained a kangaroo to talk
Narrating it is
King Kong Roo has taken over the warehouse
In response Yue raises his shovel
and forcefully
steps over him
He would never attack
King Kong Roo when he is asleep
because he is a
Good Moonman
Take this cane for safe keeping
for old age
can you feel me getting
closer to where you are?
He's beating me to death
It's fine if I actually die
but he leaves me half dead
No!
I must let him know
that he knows nothing
about humans
A surprise move! Yue seems to be
trying to seduce the kangaroo
What do you want?
Look familiar?
Yue just got drop kicked!
Look what he did
I flew so far
so fast
The indignity!
I will be back
I will be back
We gave an unreliable person
an even more unreliable voice actor
Now Yue is a jokester to the world
I'm responsible for this
Commander
I have to disagree with you
This isn't your fault
It's The Flutist
who turned our master plan into a joke
As the person sitting closest to him
my objective opinion of him is
I'm right here you guys
and this isn't entirely my fault
that duo on the moon have
to bear some responsibilities
An old song
Moon Trouble
for all of you
Get out
Go play your flute elsewhere
Sir, there's a situation with Yue
He 3D printed a Gatling Gun!
Today
will be your last day
Bring it on
Finally he's looking like a hero
I'm sorry
Stop chasing me
Nice!
Move your foot
I think I hear the sound of ukelele
That's just The Flutist
Flutist
Stop it
Stop it
Stop it
Commander
There's an emergency
Something is wrong with Yue
He's not moving
It looks like he's not breathing
Yue this is UNMS do you read me?
Turn on all channels
Copy
The transmission signal is at its strongest
Yue
Yue
This is Xing do you read me?
Yue
This is UNMS Base
Who just called out?
Hello?
The signal's no good
just answer me yes or no
Are you
members of the UNMS Project?
Are you
all still alive?
You remembered me?
Did Yue hear us?
Impossible
Our communication matrix hasn't been fixed
This makes no scientific sense
A lot of things
cannot be explained by science
Earth!
Mother!
Let's not fight anymore
I'll bring you home
Give me five!
This is Yue
ID P03008
Do you read me?
This is Yue
ID P03008
Do you read me?
Kong
Finish eating later
Put down what you're working on
and listen up
We have officially
become a family
Although we don't get along
at least this family is intact
As the head of the household
I'd like to pose a question
for us to discuss
Why is it that after that day
Earth never contacted us again?
What do you think?
Are you serious?
Sending those two signals
took everything we had!
Duh!
That's what I thought
You survived
that's already a miracle
So
About the plan to rescue me...
Get out of here!
We can't count on Xing to pick up us
If we want to go back
We have to rely on ourselves
Since 1969
the Apollo Program
carried out multiple successful missions
But in 1974
right when Apollo 18
was preparing for another moon landing
the mission was aborted unexpectedly
It wasn't until the UNMS Project began
that relevant documents were declassified
The truth was the
Apollo 18 mission wasn't cancelled
the spacecraft suffered
an accident after landing
To this day
the spacecraft remains
on the moon where it landed
Yue is finally getting his act together
We all forgot about Apollo 18
If the spacecraft is still usable
he could use its command module
to return to the Moon Palace
Space Station near the lunar orbit
then take the escape pod
to return to Earth
Got some more good news
a surviving expert from GSA
has authorized us to use their lunar dog
the dog is under a pile of ruins in Collins
we can control the dog using
the backup communication system
to get in contact with Yue
If Yue can return safely to Earth
that would be the greatest
inspiration for all survivors
only then can we call
this mission a success
There's hope?
There's hope
Then give it a shot
Americans said it themselves
that the Apollo Program back in the day
was like driving a washing
machine across the Pacific Ocean
This washing machine is pretty beat up
but you think
these meager setbacks
can knock me down?
I'm going down
Down I go
Yue has finally began
building the raft that will take him home
Watching his story unfolds
as he wanders the moon
wander the moon...
That reminds me of a
classical movie starring
the missing award winning actor Wu Jing
Kill Zone 2
Commander
Have some water
I let it cool
See
It's still burning
How did he do all that?
Isn't he just a maintenance guy?
Wow that's a lot of photoshop
Flight Dynamics Engineer
Then why is he in the
maintenance department?
Kong
we have a problem
The rocket engine of Apollo 18
is beyond repair
the spacecraft's weight limit is just 10 kg
you alone severely exceed the limit
Do you have any ideas?
If you can't think of anything
I have a last resort
We've spent so much time together
you're like a brother to me
But life is full of surprises
My last resort is to leave you here
As for me
I can lose weight to just 10 kg
An unfortunate circumstance
I have no choice
but to ditch you
Scumbag
Kong why don't you believe me?
I was just getting you water
If I really wanted to ditch you
I would leave you somewhere far away
I'd leave you at Catena Mendeleev
at the Space Odyssey Monument
at Gagarin
or at Wan-Hoo
Wan-Hoo...
There was a man named
Wan-Hoo from the Ming Dynasty
He wanted to fly
so he sat in a chair
with fireworks tied onto it
We have the chair
just need the fireworks
The firework with the
greatest power is right on the moon
The prototype of the Striking Hammer
is stored here
at the first human base on the moon
Lacus Perseverantia
Research Base
Sorry to interrupt
Have you guys figured it out?
What am I supposed to tell the viewers?
What's the matter?
Hasn't Yue
already found a way to get back home?
If he tries this
there's no coming back
He's gone mad
He's really going to do it
Yue
What are you thinking?
Obviously
you
Get out!
Get out
How many times have I told you
this trip is very dangerous, you can't come
Get out
Don't give me the dirty look
I'm telling you
Threatening me won't work
Beating me won't work, get out!
You really had to do it
Why are you so mean
I'm telling you
the only reason I'm bringing you
is because of your persistence
Theoretically speaking
the engine of the Cosmic Striking Hammer
could replace the engine of Apollo 18
but to bring it back to the UNMS Base
is absolutely impossible
The transport vehicle
operates on solar power
One day on the moon
is equal to 14 days on Earth
Even if he drives continuously for 14 days
the vehicle's mileage limit
is 6500km
But a round trip to Lacus Perseverantia
is over 8000km
Right now
Yue is waiting for the sunrise
Because the vehicle relies on solar power
Yue must return to the base before sundown
But based on our calculations
this is an impossible mission
Perhaps
our streaming series is
coming to an end
Maybe he has other plans in mind
Lacus Perseverantia is to
the east of the UNMS Base
but the WG21 road sign
is to the west of the UNMS Base
that means he's driving west
So much for his grand plan
He's driving in the wrong direction!
If we were on Earth
this would indeed be an impossible mission
But
we're on the moon
There it is
He's not going the wrong way
I'm going the opposite way on purpose
-This -This
-is all a part of my plan
-is all a part of his plan
The moon rotates at a rate of 16.6 km/h
which means sunlight moves
on the moon's surface
also at a speed of 16.6 km/h
If we chase the sun
daylight extends from 14 Earth days
to 41 Earth days
We thought this mission was impossible
because daytime wasn't long enough
If I extend the daytime
the mission becomes entirely possible
As long as he drives for 20 hours each day
make a full circle around the moon
picking up the Striking Hammer
-The mission would be complete
-The mission would be complete
Sit tight Kong
According to my plan
we rest for four hours each day
and drive for 31 days
for a total of 11,920km
to reach the base
from the opposite direction
We pick up the Cosmic Striking Hammer
drive for another ten days
and arrive back at the
UNMS Base before sundown
There they go!
Yue is on his way!
The sun never sets
and the day lasts forever
As I watch Yue chase the sunlight
let us all pray that the sun will never set
because sunset means his life would set
You're awake
Go ahead
In space no one can hear you scream
Your destination is on your left
Your destination is here
What is your purpose?
We're here Kong!
We're here!
Kong we're here!
We're here!
We're here!
The disaster from five years ago
left all of the Lacus Perseverantia Base
in ruins
Kong don't touch anything
Kong
This is the most powerful
weapon in the history of mankind
Don't touch anything
Kong
You incorrigible beast!
Inspection complete
Playing around with missiles!
You've really outdone yourself
I'm putting you in time-out
After 31 tireless days
Yue has finally picked up
the Cosmic Striking Hammer
only one fourth of the way
remains in his journey
As long as Yue
continues at his current speed
he will safely arrive back
at the UNMS Base within ten days
This trip has gone smoother than I expected
It's very possible
that I am the Chosen One
Where's my cart?
It's too late
If Yue turns around to save King Kong Roo
there won't be enough time before sundown
to return to the UNMS Base
He can't go back
Yue now faces the age old
philosophical question
To save
or not to save
If he goes back to save King Kong Roo
he will not have enough power
to drive back to the base
Even though King Kong Roo
is his only companion on the moon
when compared to Yue's life
I think King Kong Roo's storyline
is coming to an end
If he doesn't save King Kong Roo
what will happen to him?
He can't go back
But
he will
I'm not
If you die it's not my fault
I told you not to come
you had to come
If I go back for you
we'll both die
You'll die, I'll die
You'll die, I'll die
You'll die, I'll die
You'll die, I'll die
You'll die, I'll die
So be it!
He turned around!
He actually turned around!
Kong
I'm coming
That turn around drift
drifted him into my heart
What a man!
There's a type of person in this world
They never stand out in a crowd
Their lives are mundane and ordinary
but in moments that matter
they are the ones who step up
and carry the world on their shoulders
Yue is that type of person!
Idiot
Alright
Alright
that's enough get dressed let's go
Stop that
I take a punch better than
I take compliments
Ouch
Commander
All calculations say it's too late
there's no way they make it
Don't give up
If Yue doesn't give up
we can't give up either
Even though the numbers say he's dead
I don't believe in science
What's the situation with the lunar dog?
We're doing our best
but it's still digging out of the ashes
The shovel is too small
There's a radioisotope battery
on the lunar dog
That battery pack
can ensure that his vehicle
uses the minimum power
As long as we get the lunar dog
to meet up with Yue
he will have a chance to return to the base
Got it
From now on
I want 24 hour
surveillance of Yue's vehicle
Based on road signs
track Yue's route
make sure Yue and the lunar dog
are able to intersect
Coordinates 53.53E
2.5N
Yue has entered the northeast area
of Mare Fecunditatis
142 hours until sunset
Yue has driven without sleep or rest
for 53 hours
The battery reserve
will last another five hours
they still have a chance
The lunar dog is out
I'm sending it to Yue
Because Yue has entered power saving mode
I cannot accurately pinpoint
his exact location
but he has to be along this route
This is the shortest route back to the base
Hang on
55km
We were so close
I have good news and bad news
The good news is
there won't be anymore bad news
The bad news is
there won't be anymore good news either
He's only 55km out
The spacesuit allows for
five hours of outdoor activity
Traveling 55km on the moon in five hours
is impossible
Where's the lunar dog?
Five kilometers away
There's a cliff one kilometer out
Circle around it
Not enough time
We must have the dog use low gravity
to jump over it
I'll do it
Take a break Yue
Leave the rest to us
Lunar Dog
It's up to you!
Where's my dog?
The grownups used to say
when people die
they become stars in the sky
I don't want to become a star
Because
I would be too far away from
the person I want to be with
I never knew
she had that side to her
Later I discovered
that she often adopts stray cats and dogs
I was hoping to find
an opportunity to ask her
if she would take in a stray man
Look
What is he doing?
A Kangaroo sled
Trained kangaroos
can reach a speed of 30km/h on the moon
Kong
We're racing time
Remember
Speed first
Kong
I misspoke
I meant to say
Safety first
It's a miracle!
No
Yue is a miracle!
I knew he wouldn't go die
Kong
Go for it
Yue
is flying!
The live stream of Yue
has brought hope to all of humanity
and has created positive chemistry
between the lives of all survivors
This is why
this year's Robel Prize in Chemistry
will be awarded to Yue
Most of the dust have dissipated
The communication matrix
is close to completion
Without mishap
in three month's time
we will be able to get in contact with Yue
That's good news
I will report it to my superiors
According to weather forecast data
the climate recovering rate
exceeds experts' predictions
So far 45 million tons
of airborne dust have settled
The improvement has been
noticeable over the Eurasian plate
due to atmospheric circulation
Night time air quality improved drastically
Let everyone know
there will never be another power outage
That level 8 fitter
has returned!
Open the door!
The level 8 fitter has returned
Brother
how did you get hit by lightning?
Stop
Is the power back on?
Yes
You went to work on the dam
we'll never have a power outage again
Not so sure about that
I didn't even get there
Brother
You have to make it back
I'll make it back
Kong
We have a problem
Putting together technology
from two different eras
is much harder than
I imagined
Difficult it may be
but we still gotta eat and live
no use being down about it
It's them!
They're contacting us
Kong
This is Yue

How much longer
until the comm system is fixed?
At least one month
We have to get in touch with him quickly
I learned how to sing your favorite song
I thought I would have
a chance to sing it to you
Now it seems
that won't be possible
Did you know
Over the years I got used to loneliness
Only now have I realized
what makes life worth living is
when you get home late from work
having someone to leave a light on for you
When you're tired
having someone to drink with you
When you're feeling down
having someone to embrace you
Over the last two years
I did my best to stay alive
so that I could go back to Earth
Go back
to where you are
But now
I no longer have any reason to keep going
This isn't entirely your fault
In honor of our adventures
Here
Give me five
This will keep you company from now on
This is the commander of the UNMS Project
I have a few words to say to all of you
I trust that all of you like myself
have been closely following
the coverage of our hero Yue
But today I have to tell everyone
that Yue
is no hero
He is just someone
we mistakenly left on the moon
An average Joe
Over the past year
I have done everything to make him a hero
Because in my mind
someone who's so awkward
could never bring us any hope
But I was wrong
It was precisely this awkward guy
whose perseverence
gave those of us in the depth of despair
a ray of light
a glimmer of hope
Warning! Low air tightness
We watched him circle the moon
rescue King Kong Roo
build a spacecraft piece by piece
in order to return home
We watched him do all
of this alone on the moon
No one really knows how lonely he must feel
And now he is tired
He needs someone to lift him up
and this someone
is all of us who have been
witnessing his journey
At this very moment
we must light up the Earth
to give Yue a ray of light
in his time of darkness
Light
will be his hope
and we
will be his light!
Lights on!
We must tell him
Yue
You are not alone
You are no one
Why insult me?
Yue
This is UNMS
Can you see us?
Yue
Are you doing ok?
Say something! Anything!
Mr. Yue
I bet you didn't know
for more than a year now
we've been live streaming
your video feed nonstop
I narrated the whole thing
I didn't leave out a single detail
Shut up
You have the second highest
number of followers in the world
Do you know who is number one?
King Kong Roo!
Hi
Yue
Hi
This is our plan
whether or not Yue
can come back is up to us
Since getting in touch with Earth
my days have become unusually busy
The project to repair my spacecraft
has officially begun
What I didn't expect was that
I have to bring the Striking Hammer with me
They said it's for weight balance
But
these little things don't matter
I get to see Xing every day
That's the best part
But
now that the whole world is watching me
I must not stare at her so obviously
and give away how I feel about her
Even though we are 380,000km away
I have never felt so close to you
as I do now
Um
I have something
I've been meaning to tell you
Go ahead
Do you know
why I joined the maintenance department?
All of our engineer positions
have been filled
would you consider be in maintenance?
I'm sorry
It's time for me to cook dinner for my cats
This one looks good
It's me
I'm sorry
It's ok
If not for all the experience
I gained working in maintenance
I wouldn't be able to build this spacecraft
The truth is that when we evacuated
All crew have evacuated
31 seconds until debris
of hit the moon's surface
I saw you through the window
Time for us to go
Start the countdown
But I could not wait for you
I'm sorry
It's ok
You didn't know me back then
You made purely rational decisions
That's expected
What if
now
we were in that same situation?
Would you still leave me behind?
Yes
You are so cold-blooded
I
love it
Goodnight

Zero One?
This meteor is actually still
When we blasted it
exploded into many pieces
the largest piece hit Earth
the other pieces were mostly debris
Some were captured by the lunar orbit
others float near the moon and Earth
What we didn't know was
among the fragments
remained another large piece
The United Nations has named it +
Have you confirmed its flight path?
Collisions between debris have
changed its flight path
Right now it is heading towards
Earth at an accelerated speed
There's only one person
who might be able to save us
The only Cosmic Striking Hammer
is on his spacecraft
This is humanity's last chance
Reporting to Zero One
We are at the escape pod chamber
Three out of six escape pods remain
Zero One?
Copy
Check on the conditions
Copy
I'll tell him
Wait
Turn off the live stream
Attention everyone
due to signal failures
we will temporarily stop the live stream
Yue
This is Xing
You're back
Escape pod check complete
They're in good conditions
Kong says he won't take them
He insists on floating back himself
Yue
I turned off the live stream
We have an emergency situation
+ right?
I heard everything
There's only one person
who might be able to save us
Zero One?
The only Cosmic Striking Hammer
is on his return spacecraft
But the missile
doesn't have it's own power system
he needs to pilot the spacecraft
and use inertia to launch the missile
If we detonate after
he retreats to a safe zone
he'll be able to make it back
This is humanity's last chance
The power of the
prototype Cosmic Striking Hammer
what are the chances of success?
And even if Yue succeeds
what are the chances
that he makes back alive?
I'll do it
Yue
we cannot guarantee
that this plan will work
It is a huge risk for you
You need to think clearly about this
But this is the only way to protect you
to protect you all
I'll only do it on one condition though
What's that?
If I don't make it back
don't stay in widowhood for me
Get out
Yes Ma'am!

As Minister of the United Nations
I have to inform you
that humanity once again is
standing in front of the crossroads of life and death
If the mission fails
humanity is incapable of
bearing the consequences of +
This catastrophe
has once again reminded us
that in the vast expanse of the universe
humankind is so insignificant
To be honest I've really
enjoyed our time together
although you did
beat me up quite a few times
You really can't go with me this time
This is my moment to shine
Don't try to take the spotlight from me
Thank you for keeping me company
If not for you
I wouldn't have made it to today
You have to make it safely back to Earth
live a long life
make the most of each day
and then
find a female kangaroo
make lots of baby kangaroos
You hear me Kong
Escaping pod ejected

otherwise you will lose
consciousness very soon
Attitude control malfunctioning
Unable to gain control of attitude

Isn't that too risky?
I'll take the risk
The cabin is deformed

Reporting to Zero One
I have good news and bad news
which do you want to hear first?
Yue
The good news is
even though the engine was hit
based on its appearance
it should still be operational
The bad news is
while we were talking just now
I saw the engine float by
its got no power left
Reporting to Zero One
I see +
Based on the curent flight path
you will pass by +
from a distance of 1700km
I actually don't blame you at all
for leaving me on the moon
It was what you were supposed to do
-Yue -You have always done
what you were supposed to do
Now
keep doing what you're supposed to do
What I'm supposed to do?
No matter the reason
sacrificing a person
shouldn't be an option
You know as well as I do
there's no other way
Sync the flight path paramenters
to my control system
I will deliver the missile
to the detonation location
Turn on the live stream
Let the man with the
second highest popularity
wrap up twith a perfect curtain call
Hi everyone this is Yue
In these final moments
I'd like to say a few words to all of you
All this time
I have been living alone on the moon
There were so many
moments I thought of giving up
But thankfully
I was finally able to get in touch with you
I'm afraid I won't be able
to make it back this time
Don't feel bad for me
In the past
I always thought staying
in the middle was the best way to live
away from the spotlight
hidden in the crowd, living a simple life
Now I am what stands between + and Earth
This is what I "the middle man"
was meant to do
I didn't have a
family or friends growing up
It was all of you who made me
feel like I am no longer alone
Thank you
Fourteen forty-five
Missile detached from the spacecraft
I once dreamed
of flying far
I once had freedom
to travel like the wind
Looking back how could I have known
the most beautiful sights
the most desirable place
was right
by your side
I once asked
the mountains and the oceans
why the sight of you
I could never forget
When I got lost
there was always a light
is that you reminding me
of the way home?
Country roads take me home
Just let me
flow with the wind
become a fallen leaf
become a shooting star
drift into
your heart
My shoulders can carry
the weight of the Milky Way
but not the weight of you
missing me with tears in your eyes
I wandered alone I dreamed
my eyes followed wherever you went
Oh how I wish
Country roads take me home
Just let me
flow with the wind
become a fallen leaf
become a shooting star
drift into
your heart
Take me home
Brother
Does this mean we can go home?
Yes
The moonman
is taking us home
It has been more than
ten years since Yue's sacrifice
In these ten plus years
humanity has accomplished what
we thought would take decades to do
Although there remains much work to be done
At least we are now
able to breathe fresh air
hug our loved ones
Pliers!
Reveal our brilliant smiles
As we look to the future
no matter what challenges stand in our way
we will
not be stopped
Our exploration of the moon
will help us make progress
in rebuilding our homeland
I believe
returning to the moon
holds a special meaning
for each one of us

You've finally come home
