Chapter 1: What is your purpose for coming to Earth

Please remain calm

As soon as the button is pressed, these missiles can roar out and arrive here in a very short time

He glanced around the entire room again with a hint of panic, but found nothing that could serve as a weapon. Not even anything that could be used for self-harm.

It must have been a kind-hearted person who took me to the hospital

What kind of talk is this? What do you mean by saying I thought I was ill?

My name is Lu Ming, and I am a graduate student in the Department of Astronomy at Donghai University. I have my student ID with me, um...

He glanced down and realized that he was not wearing his own clothes at that moment, but rather a hospital gown

There are neither doors nor windows

He thought to himself

The events that occurred during one's own state of unconsciousness must be of significant importance and pose a considerable threat to the human world; otherwise, the human government would not place such emphasis on them

He vaguely remembered that just as he saw the bus approaching under the bus stop sign, everything suddenly went dark, his head spun, and he lost consciousness. When he woke up, it was now.

He had a slight sense of foreboding in his heart

As a graduate student in the Department of Astronomy at Donghai University, he has made an appointment with his advisor today to seek guidance on a new set of observational data. This is crucial for his academic progress and cannot be delayed

At this moment, in the center of this field hospital, within a ward sealed off by heavy steel.

What exactly do you want to do

Lu Ming turned his head slightly with some effort to look around, not seeing anyone, but noticing several speakers on the walls of the room he was in

Where is this place? Who are you? Are you doctors? Is this a hospital? I warn you, this is illegal detention, my parents must have already reported it to the police! Let me go now!

"Wait... wait a minute, do you think I am an alien? I, I am a genuine Earthling, you know. What on earth is going on? I just had a physical examination a month ago. If you don't believe me, you can check. I..."

A chilling atmosphere surged forth

Lu Ming was absolutely certain that his current self was almost unchanged from his self before the coma. At this moment, he was one hundred percent still a human being

The voice fell silent for a moment, then said: "Yes. This is the third planet of the solar system. We are the human civilization that was born on this planet. May I ask, which planet do you come from? What is your purpose for coming to Earth?"

He went to the restroom to wash his face, and then he planned to leave this place to ask someone what was going on

A voice once again emerged from the speaker

I do not know how long I have been unconscious. My parents and sister must be extremely worried about me. Does my advisor know that I am ill? Sigh... I hope my illness is not serious...

This gave Lu Ming a sense of absurdity as if the world were in disarray

Thus, the context of the matter becomes quite clear

However, it is impossible for human governments to believe they are aliens without reason. To make such a significant display, they must have solid reasons to support it

In what should have been a door, just like the other areas, there was a layer of soft covering. He pressed firmly and felt that beneath the soft covering was a hard wall

Uh, may I ask, isn't this a hospital? I remember I was about to take the bus to school this morning, but suddenly I lost consciousness, uh, may I ask...

A thought emerged from his mind

If all of this is true, then it is evident that the gentle female voice represents a powerful government force. Otherwise, it would not be possible to mobilize such a large military presence

The other party seems to be consistently trying to convey the message "We are very powerful, do not act rashly" to themselves. ... And this seems to imply that they ...? ... are also blustering but weak internally?

However

In a haze, Lu Ming slowly opened his eyes

Lu Ming was filled with questions.

His memory still lingers in the past

Regular army? Artillery? Fighter jets? Nuclear missiles? All just to deal with me

Lu Ming was forcefully striking the wall, displaying a fierce exterior while being inwardly timid

This question left him somewhat perplexed

Please remain calm. We mean no harm; we hope you can cooperate with our investigation. Once the matter is clarified, we believe there will be a satisfactory solution for you. We do not wish to resolve issues through violence, but when necessary, we will not hesitate to use force.

He got out of bed and assessed his body. It seemed that aside from feeling a bit weak, there was nothing else uncomfortable.

It must have been during the process of my unconsciousness that something occurred. These events led the human government to believe that I am an alien, which is why they temporarily imprisoned me here. To be on the safe side, they have also deployed heavy troops around the area

Only after he finished washing his face and was about to leave this place did he realize a serious problem

He looked around at his surroundings and noticed that this was a room somewhat similar to a hospital ward, complete with a restroom and a shower room. The overall ambiance of the room exuded a soft style, and what caught his attention was that there were no sharp edges in this room

An immense and boundless pressure swept over Lu Ming

In the silence, his breathing gradually became calmer

May I ask if you can understand the language I am using

So, do you have anything you can tell us

Kidnapping

All corners of walls, tables, and bed edges are wrapped in soft materials

This is a morning that is no different from usual. He hurriedly finished his breakfast and rushed out of the house to head to school

The female voice sounded again

He became aware of a problem

After this sentence, on the wall opposite the hospital bed, a section of the covering suddenly moved aside, revealing a screen isolated by tempered glass behind it

The gentle female voice did not sound again, seemingly allowing him time to remain calm

I would like to talk to you. I am willing to cooperate with any investigation you have, but I truly do not know anything at this moment. If I am not mistaken, something must have happened during my unconsciousness that led you to mistakenly believe I am an alien, right? I will definitely cooperate with your investigation, but please tell me what exactly happened first; otherwise, I really do not know where to begin.

Around this field hospital, we have deployed three armored divisions and an artillery regiment. Above the nearest airport, the most advanced models of fighter jets and bombers are ready for takeoff at any moment. At the missile base, missiles armed with high-yield hydrogen bombs are prepared for launch at any time

At the center of a newly established field hospital, numerous soldiers in uniform, well-trained, are bustling about among armored vehicles, tanks, and artillery within a radius of approximately 10 kilometers.

He is filled with worry

But that voice had disappeared. Lu Ming asked a few more questions, yet still received no answer

Am I mistaken? I am just an ordinary person who still has to take the bus when going out! Even the most powerful gang leader or the most formidable terrorist does not warrant such a grand display, does it

His intuition told him that this was not a joke

I am Zhang Dingshan, the captain of the Thirteenth Division of the Planetary Security Bureau and the Second Team of the Library Operation. Before I tell you what exactly happened, I need to ask you a question. Lu Ming, do you know that you are already dead

We do not wish to use force. However, when necessary, we will not hesitate to employ it. Now, please calm down; we only want to have a conversation with you, so we ask for your cooperation

In a more distant location, the medium-range missiles hidden underground and in caves have completed the final inspection and authorization procedures before launch

The threat and intimidation implied in this statement are quite evident

Lu Ming saw, in the vast expanse of the desert, fully armed soldiers, armored vehicles, tanks, helicopters, and various types of weaponry that he could not comprehend

Countless artillery pieces are angled towards the sky, and once fired, the shells will accurately strike this field hospital

This is not a hospital either. Or rather, it is not merely a hospital

After outlining such a thread, although he still felt that these matters were very distant from an ordinary person like himself, Lu Ming nonetheless understood what he should do next

A gentle female voice entered his ears

This ward... seems to have no door

Is this the Earth here

The female voice did not answer his question, but instead continued to ask, "So, can you tell me who you are?"

I do not know! Can you tell me what is going on? I am just an ordinary person. I only remember fainting on my way to school, and when I woke up, I was here. What time is it now? How long have I been unconscious? What exactly happened to me? What occurred while I was unconscious?

This matter always makes him feel strange

Lu Ming's mind was somewhat malfunctioning

The armed helicopters roared in the sky not far from the field hospital, with machine guns and targeting systems aimed at this location. A swarm of drones took off and landed in groups, always maintaining a sufficient number to ensure that they could rush towards it at the first sign of an incident

Hello, could you tell me who you are

Lu Ming felt somewhat puzzled. Nevertheless, he said: "I, I can understand. May I ask if this is a hospital? What, what is wrong with me?"

That gentle female voice reappeared

Could you please return my phone to me? I need to make a call to my family. Additionally, may I ask what is wrong with me? What illness do I have?

Do you think you are ill

After pinching himself and realizing it hurt, he attempted to use his mind to create some sort of movement, but nothing happened. He also tried to fly, but was unable to do so. In short, after confirming that he did not possess any inexplicable special abilities, he became even more certain that he was still an ordinary human at this moment

The reason for supporting them in mobilizing such formidable power against themselves is that the human government believes these aliens, who claim to come from an outer world, harbor dark intentions that may threaten the human realm

Then the screen lit up, displaying an image.

It seems that... ? ... it seems that her response was too unexpected for the questioner, so she also does not know how to respond

He struck forcefully, carefully discerning the echo, and felt that the wall was not an ordinary cement or brick wall, but rather made of steel

In a location relatively far from here, above a military airport, the latest models of bombers, fighter jets, and other advanced equipment are fully prepared, ensuring that bombs can be unleashed upon this field hospital at any moment

Please hold on

That gentle female voice finally reappeared

Lu Ming waited in silence for about ten minutes. After that, a deep male voice emerged

The sky is filled with yellow sand, and the blazing sun hangs high.
