Chapter 1

March 14, 3010, in the Oklau region of West Africa.

The sky was cloudless, the sun was blazing against the desert earth, the sultry air was not windy, and the whole world seemed to enter a dead silence.

Suddenly there was a screeching sound of birds in the sky, and then the sand rolled up from the ground, and a federal patrol boat came scurrying close to the ground from a distance.

Quick, quick! Rosen, that guy's still after you! A young blond soldier urged his companion as he turned his head and stared nervously behind him.

Just less than three hundred meters above the patrol boat, a strange black bird with three heads was closely chasing it, flapping its huge wings ten meters long and issuing a harsh call from time to time.

Damn it, Carmen, drop the cannon and shoot backwards! This Type C patrol boat can outrun these three eagles! "Shouted the dark-haired Oriental young man piloting the craft, staring at the cockpit video monitor.

God, the bullets have already been used up, and can only delay its speed, can not hurt it at all. The young soldier named Carmen turned to look behind him and cried out in despair.

With the three eagles closing in on him, the young soldier, Rosen, suddenly slammed on his brakes, followed by a sharp turn of the steering wheel to the left, and the patrol boat sped off to the left.

The strange bird did not expect the ship to brake suddenly, suddenly rushed to the front of the patrol boat, and quickly waved its huge wings to fan back. By this time, the patrol boat had flown more than twenty meters to the left, narrowly avoiding a blow from the monster bird's giant wings, but the wave of air from the giant bird's wings also made the ship shake.

Rosen desperately steadied the ship and without hesitation gave it a sharp boost, and the ship quickly made another 90-degree loop, picking up a pile of yellow sand and heading in the other direction. The strange bird gave a strange cry, flapped its wings and ran after it again.

A wild run, a hard chase, one in front of the other, this bird chase in the desert has been staged for an hour.

And it serves the young men, Rosen and Carmen, who were returning from a base patrol when they encountered a C-class eagle that had never been seen in the Okraw area before!

The three-headed eagle, a variant of the Earth, belongs to Class C and is generally found in Oceania and southern Africa. The adult three-headed eagle is up to 10 meters long, the two wings are up to 20 meters long, the highest flying Mach number is 3.0, the highest striking force of the wings is up to 20,000 Newtons, and it has a certain wisdom.

Hold on for a few more minutes, and you'll be inside the base defense circle! The blonde Carmen, staring at the giant eagle behind her, gave her sweaty companion a pep talk.

I rely on him ***, such as entering the base defense circle, I must let the ion cannon will be this flat hair beast down, pulled out its hair stew to drink! Damn it, why hasn't headquarters come to help?" Rosen swears, his arms on the steering wheel weary, but still afraid to relax. The ship in his driving do irregular movement, desperately avoid the pursuit of the three eagles behind.

'Oh, the strange bird is gone! Turning his head to stare at Carmen behind him, she gave a shout of surprise.

I know, we're inside the perimeter of the base, and damn it, this flat-haired beast knows it's dangerous. Rosen glanced at the radar screen, slowed the ship down, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Carmen, you drive. Let me rest. Rosen said to his companion, rubbing his sleepy arm.

Luo, your driving level is really good, really worthy of being the first driver in our class. Carmen changed places with her companion and said to her with a smile.

Hey, kiddo, I've had more fun than that in virtual air combat. But this patrol ship grade is too low, if it is A grade patrol ship, I will be good and this animal fight, the evil will drive me to run east and west, like a dog pant! Rosen let out a vicious curse, then lounged in the passenger seat, fished out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took one in his mouth, and handed another to his companion, who was absorbed in driving.

Thank you. Smoking is not allowed on patrol. Carmen declined the eyes of her companions, and her white face showed a doubt: This kind of C-grade giant eagle has never appeared in this desert, and I really don't know where it ran out of?

Who knows? Rosen shook his head and casually took off his khaki-colored Union Army jacket, leaving only a tight white vest to reveal his tanned skin, and then exhaled a large smoke ring, looking comfortable. Now the earth is almost inhabited by these mutated creatures, and poor human beings have to shrink in a few megacities. It's funny to think that humans have conquered the entire solar system, and now they can go to war on Proxima Centauri, and they can't fight these monsters in their own home.

The book says that these mutated creatures are extremely fertile and numerous, and if they are all killed, it will cause an ecological disaster on the earth, and the cost is not as good as migrating to Mars or Venus. "Carmen said.

Damn, the disaster of the earth was not caused by man himself, without those few nuclear wars, there would have been so many mutated creatures. Heaven can do evil, but man cannot live!" Rosen looked dismissive and shook his head.

RON, watch your mouth. You're a Union soldier. If your superiors hear this, you'll be punished. Carmen kindly reminded her companion.

Damn, what kind of world is this? Even the freedom to speak the truth is gone. Rosen mumbled something, sighed and changed the subject. Shit, I'm sweaty. Go back to base, take a nice shower, drink some Cordon Bleu, and sleep in comfortably.

I prefer my own coffee from the original bourbon Sandos in Brazil, or a glass of wine from the original Bordeaux region in France hidden for 300 years, and a beautiful blonde to have a candlelight dinner with OK. Oh, preferably Miss Bose, my idol, and may God grant my wish." Carmen smiled and made the sign of the cross.

Carmen, you are a true believer, born noble, but unfortunately you are not noble life, your Rose is now touring the planets, I guess the line of people who want to eat with her is hundreds of years, I guess God can not help you make this wish. Rosen looked at her ladylike companion and grinned.

Suddenly Rosen said a little sad: Poor I am the third generation of poor farmers, so low requirements can not meet, at least I am also a Union Army cadet officer, should be sent here to do sergeant's patrol! And was chased around by a flat-haired animal!"

OH, God, don't be so sad, we're just internships, not distribution. The young man, Carmen, did not take kindly to his companion's ridicule, and continued to smile like a gentleman. We'll graduate in about half a year after the internship, and then you can go to the front to fulfill your dream of being a general.

After listening to the words of his companions, Rosen did not seem to lose his anger: You look at the students in our class, some of them have gone to the Mars Guard Command for internship, I heard that there are beautiful women like clouds; Some join the space guard fleet to catch pirates. Where in the solar system have they not been? It's a free tour. More fortunate to directly participate in the Federal expeditionary force to Centaurus and Proxima Centauri battle, they naturally come back to boast of the capital, that like we want beauty is beautiful, to war success is not successful, stay in the middle of nowhere to guard this stupid base what future?

There is a nuclear reactor two billion years ago, and it is said that our mission is to guard it. Watching his companion finish, Carmen whispered carefully again.

The base, designated 014, is located in the desert, and although the military has not announced the purpose of the base, soldiers privately speculate that it is for the so-called prehistoric reactor.

What about two billion years ago? Rosen pursed his lips and looked disdainful. Now that people on Earth can jump in space, doesn't it kill Proxima Centauri? If there were any prehistoric civilization, these reactors would be obsolete."

Carmen did not know what to say to her companion's rebuttal, and the atmosphere in the cabin began to cool.

When Carmen stopped talking, Rosen didn't say anything more. He threw his cigarette butt out and curled up in his chair with his head bowed and began to fall asleep.

Luo, ten minutes to the base, our patrol mission will be successfully completed. "Carmen reminded me with a sudden smile.

"It's over at last, this damn patrol! Rosen sat up straighter, feeling much better, squinted at the sun, and suddenly noticed what seemed to be a dark dot heading straight for him.

A sunspot explosion? Or is that strange bird coming after you again? Rosen rubbed his eyes quickly and looked more closely.

In this short moment, the black dot had become a black flying body, flying quickly in its direction.

Quick, report to headquarters, unidentified spaceship has entered! Rosen shouted, and his relaxed mood became tense again.

At the same time that Rosen and his team discovered, the early warning system of 014 base also developed a high-pitched cry, completely breaking the silence of the past.

Chapter 2

All departments are on alert! Squadron troops ready for battle! The commander on duty inside the base gave the order.

Someone broke into the restricted flight zone! The soldiers, who had usually been idle, began to panic a little, but after all, they were well-trained soldiers, and after ten seconds of initial panic, they began to act.

Less than half a minute, the original dead desert, suddenly loud noise, half covered in the wasteland of the base began to reveal its ferocious face, a variety of electromagnetic turrets on the edge of the base cast off their camouflage, an attack helicopter out of the base, an armored vehicle also drove out of the base gate, aimed at the front of the uninvited guests, surrounded them.

Unidentified flying object ahead, you have now entered the federal military restricted area, stop immediately for inspection! Colonel Albarn, sitting in the control room of the base headquarters, calmly issued the order on the Earth Federation common signal frequency.

At this time, the base patrol car driven by Carmen was not far from the ship, and they were ready to attack.

Rosen saw that this was a small Earth Federation reconnaissance ship, less than 20 meters long, the appearance is also the Earth Federation common dark blue, there is a large white five-pointed star, that is the Federal army logo.

Someone from another unit crossed into the restricted area by mistake? Rosen's nervous heart relaxed again, this kind of brother troops mistakenly into the military exclusion zone things often happen, in the distant star of the war tense, but in the rear of the Earth and other planets is a song and dance, peace for hundreds of years of the army seems to be accustomed to a loose.

The spaceship slowly landed vertically on the wasteland in front of the base gate, and after a few minutes the closed spaceship door opened, and I saw three tall people walk out from inside, but definitely not a soldier!

Western ancients! Damn, I saw a ghost today, so many strange things! Rosen, who was sitting in the car, let out a cry, hurriedly put on his coat, and picked up the laser gun that was lying beside him.

The man in the middle was dressed as a warrior in the Western middle world, wearing ancient Gothic armor, but without a helmet. He was nearly three feet tall with empty hands. And next to the two women is a noblewoman, slightly short, beautiful face, black dress, holding a silk fan, it looks like this man to protect the two women out to play.

No, God, look at their ears, three ears! Carmen said suddenly. Rosen looked closely, and sure enough, there were three ears on each side of each head, pointy as a monkey's ears.

Mutants? Rosen shook his head. Although there were mutated species on Earth, humans were not affected, and the cyborg most desired by the ambitious federal government was still in the experimental stage, and human rights groups considered it to be inhuman.

The opposing officer looked at the other side and did not seem to be carrying any weapons, so he carefully led several soldiers with laser guns, and walked out of the armored vehicle toward the three men.

Three ladies and gentlemen, this is a restricted military zone of the Earth Federation. You have violated federal law. Please identify yourself for inspection. The colonel spoke in standard Federal and was polite.

The three strange ancient people did not move in place, and the two women waved their silk fans, just quietly watching all this, without any reaction.

Davis, angered by this indifference, shouted, Take it and face federal law! With a wave of his hand, several soldiers rushed up.

At this time, a woman moved, a hand flew out of a large handkerchief like a woman's thing, lightning general flying to the soldiers, the soldiers did not react, only heard bang bang a few sound, was knocked down by the handkerchief, fainted.

"Shoot Union soldiers! Fire! Colonel Adam, who was watching the situation on video at the base, gave the order to attack without hesitation.

Immediately ionic armored vehicles, electromagnetic turrets, helicopter gunships, and soldiers' laser guns opened fire at the same time, and the magnetic sound suddenly sounded, sending out a brilliant fire and shooting at the three people.

In this moment a strange scene appeared, I saw those firelight in front of three people, the straight light suddenly twisted up, like being tangled into a rope, suddenly disappeared disappeared!

'Magic! Rosen, who had accepted the most modern civilization, could not help but think of a term in Western magic literature, but he immediately denied it.

Bending the force field causes the light to bend! Rosen immediately understood why. It was just that one man could bend the force field. Too dark, isn't it?

Stop shooting! Drop your guns, use your swords, and strike! Colonel Adam was also stunned by what he saw, and after a few seconds he made his decision.

Rosen quickly pulled out the laser sword he was wearing on his waist, turned to look at Carmen, who was still in a daze, and shoved him violently, yelling, What's stupid? Go! Then he pushed open the hatch door and rushed out.

Two people have not rushed out of a few steps, I saw another woman suddenly stretched out a delicate hand, in the void around their hands to draw a circle, the front swarm of soldiers were suddenly blocked, as if a transparent wall appeared.

The soldiers did not hesitate, a laser sword struggling to split the void, unexpectedly splashed a spark.

My God, Laozi is not a believer, I want to go up and cut some swords to try! Rosen pushed away his companions and rushed in.

When Rosen rushed forward, he could see the face of the man who had not moved between them.

It was a typical Western face, like a Greek sculpture, with blue eyes and a high nose. As the two men locked eyes, a light burst out of each other's clear blue eyes, and Rosen felt as if he had been struck in the brain and nearly fainted. But at the same time a burst of energy from an area in the back of his brain jolted Rosen awake.

Fuck you, you fucked me! Rosen bellows, unleashes his laser sword and slashes it away!

There was a bang, and the tremendous recoil numbed Rosen's arm, as if the laser sword had struck a transparent object. Rosen felt his body shudder and a blinding, blinding light burst before his eyes, forcing him to close his eyes.

After a few seconds, Rosen slowly opened his eyes. The light had long since faded, and what appeared before him was a black sky with countless stars. Rosen turned his head sharply and saw a bright blue planet larger than the moon hanging in the sky.

'Earth! Seeing this familiar image, Rosen's heart suddenly tightened, and when he looked back, he saw a white planet also hanging in the sky, with a faint black shadow on it.

I'm between the earth and the moon!

Chapter 3

Only then did he find himself standing empty in space, with black emptiness under his feet, and stars either bright or dark.

Ah! ...... A sense of vertigo so intense that Rosen let out a cry and fell to his knees, his heart pounding as if it were going to pop out.

After a few moments, Rosen felt that he was not falling, that his fear was fading a little, and he quickly looked at the biometric computer on his wrist. He saw that time had stopped and the compass needle showing his direction was spinning wildly.

Why am I here?

How can you be alone in space? Is this the Lagrangian point between the earth and the moon?

Rosen was full of questions, but he could not think of a reason, but he also knew that he was definitely brought here by some mysterious force, the level of human technology is not yet reached to allow a person to walk in space without any equipment!

After trying to stand up, Rosen carefully took a few more steps forward, all fine, and he was able to spacewalk! Rosen was a little excited to be the first person to walk in space!

Up and down, left and right, Rosen ran aimlessly through the void, the initial excitement fading, and another serious question came into his mind.

How do we get back? !

Do you just walk back step by step? Rosen looked at the bright blue planet and felt sad.

Well, who brought me here? If you don't come out, I will scold! After a while, Rosen cried out.

Just at this moment, a strange sound came faintly, just like the monk in the temple chanting the sutra, the sound became louder and louder.

Pineapple jackfruit, pineapple jackfruit... . Rosen, listen carefully this time. It's the monk!

The sky also slowly lit up, for a time, the colorful light rose, there were blossoming colorful clouds, cigarettes curling up, a huge Buddha rose in the sky, disc sitting on the throne, quickly occupied more than half of the sky. The blue earth quickly became smaller and fell into the palm of the Buddha's huge hand.

Buddha! Paradise in the west? Seeing this strange scene, Rosen was shocked, Have you already died?

Illusion! It must have been some higher being who got themselves into space and created the illusion for themselves! Rosen reminded himself that it would be acceptable to say that a higher being had brought him to this space, but it was absolutely ridiculous that the mythical Goddess of God and other things had suddenly appeared here!

Birth, death, all reincarnation, Amitabha Buddha. The tall Buddha suddenly spoke in a voice like a great bell, and Rosen felt a dull ache in his eardrums.

Holy shit, pretending to be some Buddha Buddha, and pretending to be real. Rosen, thinking of a sudden realization, could not help but say, Don't pretend that the Tathagata, I am an atheist, you are just a higher being.

Man is God, and God is man; without God there is no man, and without God there is no God. The tathagata is actually a mystery.

Now, please don't tongue twister, is this space or not? Rosen doesn't want to talk to him here.

Yes and no, no and no, the universe is infinite, the bliss is infinite.

Is there any paradise in this world? What is the Tathagata? I don't believe in myths, I believe in science! Rosen's mouth is still hard, looking at the small earth in the palm of the Tathagata's hand, and now he understands that this is not the same time and space he is in.

Man is God, God is man, science is not true, myth is not false. If you are still nagging.

Well, I'll take your word for it. Rosen is much calmer now, stepping on the colorful auspicious clouds, walking a few steps upward, in this different space, although I do not know whether this is the truth or the lie, but looking at this familiar shape, the fear in my heart is reduced a lot.

Since you are a powerful Tathagata Buddha, why have you brought me here? I'm just an ordinary earthling. Rosen wondered.

The fate of the human world is coming, the time and space will be confused, Yin and Yang will be out of balance. Four thousand years ago, Tang Sanzang obtained the true Sutra through painstaking efforts, which benefited the whole mankind. Created a generation of prosperity. Thousands of years have passed, and the external world has changed dramatically, but the inner world of human beings has not progressed, and the greed and killing have not stopped for a moment. The Tathagata did not answer him directly.

Rosen listened silently, human science and technology have been changing with each passing day, but the moral level of human beings has not been much improved, and it is still a materialistic society.

I said, I'm just an ordinary person, I can't change this society. Rosen spread his hands in a gesture of resignation. And who are those people? What are you doing at our base?

Your people before the reincarnation of this world were also a group of greedy people. The Tathagata replied, and the conversation turned again: Since the donor can come to this world, it means that he is destined with the Buddha, in this case... .

Before the Tathagata's words were finished, Rosen shouted out in fear: I don't want to stay here, nor do I want to be a monk, but I am not pure, I want to eat meat and drink wine to bubble my sister. Although this fabled world is incredibly noble, what's the point of living without those desires?

Buddha is in the heart of man. The Tathagata smiled, "You can come to the elysium by chance, and you have begun to struggle for the race, which shows that human
