Chapter 1 What was the purpose of your coming to Earth?
The sky is full of yellow sand, and the scorching sun hangs high.
With a newly built field hospital as the center, about 10 kilometers around it, countless uniformed and well-trained soldiers are busy shuttling between armored vehicles, tanks, and artillery.
Countless barrels are pointed diagonally at the sky, and once fired, the shells will accurately hit the field hospital.
Helicopter gunships roared in the sky not far from the field hospital, and machine guns were always aimed at it. The drone swarms take off and land in swarms, always maintaining a sufficient number to ensure that they can rush towards it as soon as something happens.
Far from here, on top of a military airfield, the latest bombers, fighter jets and other advanced equipment are ready to be used to ensure that bombs can be dropped on this field hospital at any time.
Farther away, intermediate-range missiles hidden underground, in caves, have completed the final inspection and authorization process before launch.
At the push of a button, these missiles can fly out and land here in a very short time.
At this moment, in the center of this field hospital, in a ward sealed by heavy steel.
In a drowsiness, Lu Ming slowly opened his eyes.
A soft female voice reached his ears.
"Hello, can you tell me who you are?"
Lu Ming turned his head to look around with a little difficulty, but he didn't see anyone, but he saw several speakers on the wall of the room where he was.
He looked at where he was, and saw that it was a room that was somewhat similar to a hospital ward, with toilets, showers, and so on. The room as a whole has a soft style, and what caught his attention is that there are no sharp points in this room.
All corners, table corners, bed edges, etc., are wrapped in soft materials.
"Excuse me, do you understand my language?"
The soft feminine voice reappeared.
Lu Ming had some doubts in his heart. But he said, "I, I can understand." Is this a hospital? Me, what's wrong with me? ”
His memory was still stuck in the old days.
It was a morning that was no different from usual. He hurried through breakfast and hurried out of the house to school.
As a graduate student in the Department of Astronomy at Tunghai University, he has made an appointment with his supervisor today to ask for advice on a new observation. This is related to his studies, and it cannot be delayed.
He vaguely remembered that he was under the bus stop sign, and when he just saw the bus coming, his eyes suddenly went black, his head was dizzy, and he lost consciousness. It's time to wake up again.
I guess the kind people sent me to the hospital.
He thought so.
The female voice did not answer his question, but still asked, "So, can you tell me who you are?" ”
This question made him a little confused.
"My name is Lu Ming, and I am a graduate student in the Department of Astronomy of Tunghai University. I have my student ID on me, uh......"
He took a look, and at the moment he was not wearing his own set of clothes, but a hospital gown.
"Well, can you give me back my phone? I'm going to make a call to my family. Also, what's wrong with me? What is the disease? ”
Voices were heard again in the speakers.
"Do you think you're sick?"
Lu Ming's brain was a little sluggish.
What is this called? What do you mean I think I'm sick?
"Uh, excuse me, isn't this a hospital? I remember I was going to take the bus to school in the morning, but all of a sudden I lost consciousness, uh, excuse me......"
Lu Ming's head was full of question marks.
But the voice was gone. Lu Ming asked a few more questions, but still did not get an answer.
He got out of bed and felt his body. There seems to be nothing else uncomfortable except for a slight weakness.
He went to the bathroom and washed his face, then planned to leave the place and find someone to ask what was going on.
It always made him feel weird.
"I don't know how long I was in a coma. My parents and sister must have been worried about me. Does the tutor know I'm sick? Alas...... Let's hope my illness isn't serious......"
His heart was full of worry.
When he finished washing his face and was about to leave here, he realized a serious problem.
This ward...... It seems that there is no door.
There are no doors and no windows.
Where it should be a door, like the rest, it is covered with a soft cladding. He pressed hard, and felt the hard walls beneath the soft cladding.
He slammed it hard, carefully discerning the echoes, and felt that the wall did not seem to be ordinary cement or masonry, but of steel.
He had a bad feeling in his heart.
He looked around the room again, slightly flustered, but couldn't find anything that could be used as a weapon. Not even anything that could harm oneself was found.
A thought popped through his head.
"Tie ...... Kidnap? ”
"Where is this? Who the hell are you? Are you doctors? Is this a hospital? I warn you, you are illegally detained, and my parents must have called the police! Let me go! ”
Lu Ming slammed the wall hard, roaring angrily.
That soft feminine voice finally reappeared.
"Please calm down."
"Let me go! Otherwise, you're welcome! Who the fuck are you guys! Let me go! Otherwise, I promise, you'll regret it! ”
"Please calm down. We have no malicious intent, and we hope that you will cooperate with our investigation. After the matter is clarified, I believe there will be a solution that satisfies you. We do not want to solve problems through violence, but we will never hesitate to use force when necessary. ”
The threat and deterrence in this sentence are obvious.
After saying this, on the wall opposite the hospital bed, a cladding suddenly moved away, revealing a screen isolated by tempered glass at the back.
The screen lit up, and a picture appeared on it.
Lu Ming saw that on the vast desert, there were heavily armed soldiers, armored vehicles, tanks, helicopters, and all kinds of weapons and equipment that he couldn't understand.
A breath of slaughter came to his face.
"Around the perimeter of this field hospital, we have deployed three heavy divisions and an artillery regiment. At the nearest airfield, the most advanced fighter jets and bombers are ready to take off. At the missile base, missiles loaded with high-yield hydrogen bombs can be launched at any time. ”
"We do not want the use of force. But when necessary, we will not hesitate to use force. Now, please calm down, we just want to talk to you, please cooperate with us. ”
The boundless pressure swept towards Lu Ming.
His instincts told him that it wasn't a joke.
Regular army? Cannon? Fighter plane? Nuclear missiles? Just to deal with me?
Make no mistake, right? I'm just an ordinary person who has to take the bus when I go out! Even the most powerful underworld boss and the most powerful terrorist are not worth such a big battle, right?
This gave Lu Ming a sense of the absurdity of the world's confusion.
He muttered, "Here, is this the Earth?" ”
The voice was silent for a moment, then said, "Yes." This is the third planet in the solar system. We are a human civilization born on this planet. Excuse me, what planet are you from? What is the purpose of your visit to Earth? ”
Lu Ming's head was a little confused.
"Wait...... Wait, you think I'm an alien? I, I'm an authentic earthling, where is this, I just had a physical examination a month ago, I don't believe you check, I ......"
Lu Ming was incoherent and full of eagerness.
"So, is there anything you can tell us?"
"I don't know! Can you tell me what the hell is going on? I'm just a normal person, I remember I fainted when I went to school, and I woke up here again, when is it? How long have I been in a coma? What the hell is wrong with me? What happened when I was unconscious? ”
"Please calm down."
"I'm calm!"
Lu Ming roared and said this.
He sat on the bed, breathing hard.
The soft female voice didn't sound anymore, as if it had given him time to calm down.
In silence, his breathing gradually eased.
He realized a problem.
If all this is true, then it is clear that this soft female voice represents a powerful government force. Otherwise, it would not have been possible to mobilize so many military forces.
And the reason for them to mobilize such a powerful force against themselves is that the human government believes that they are aliens from the outer world with a shady purpose that may threaten the human world.
It's not a hospital either. Or not just a hospital.
Lu Ming is extremely sure that there is almost no change in his body between his current self and his previous coma. At the moment, I am still 100% human.
After he pinched himself, found that it hurt a lot, tried to make some movement with his mind and came out but nothing happened, tried to fly but couldn't fly, etc., in short, he didn't have any special abilities for some reason, he was even more sure that he was still an ordinary human at this moment.
It's just that human governments can't think of themselves as aliens for no reason. To make such a big battle, they must have a solid reason to support it.
Then the context of the matter is obvious.
Something must have happened in the process of being unconscious. These things have led the human government to think that it is an alien, so it has temporarily imprisoned itself here. Just in case, they also placed heavy troops around the perimeter.
What happened in the course of his coma must have been quite significant, and it was a great threat to the human world, otherwise the human government would not have paid such attention.
After sorting out such a vein, although he still felt that these things were very far away from him as an ordinary person, Lu Ming still knew what to do next.
"I, I want to talk to you. I'm cooperating with any of your investigations, but I really don't know anything right now. If I'm not mistaken, something must have happened while I was in a coma that would make you mistake me for an alien, right? I will, I will cooperate with your investigation, but please tell me what is going on, otherwise, I really don't know where to start. ”
The female voice rang out again.
"Please wait."
Lu Ming waited silently for about ten minutes. After that, a deep male voice came out.
"I am Zhang Dingshan, the captain of the second team of the 13th Division of the Planetary Security Agency. Before I tell you exactly what happened, I need to ask you a question.
Lu Ming, do you know that you are dead? ”
