Chapter 726 Future Homestead

They slowly walked towards the light, each step full of tension and expectation. When they got closer, they found that it was actually a small ball of light, which was suspended in the air, emitting a faint and warm light.

Bai Ye reached out and touched the ball of light, and felt a warm force flowing into his body, as if it was guiding them. An inexplicable feeling surged in his heart, as if this ball of light was their guardian in this strange world.

"Everyone follow the ball of light, it may lead us to find a way out." Bai Ye whispered, his voice full of firmness and trust. The soldiers nodded one after another, they knew that this ball of light might be their only hope to leave this strange world.

So, they followed the ball of light and continued to move forward. The ball of light seemed to have spirituality, always keeping a distance from them, neither far away nor close, guiding them on the way forward.

The night was still deep, and the stars were still bright. However, for Bai Ye and the soldiers, this beauty was no longer important. In their hearts, there was only that ball of light, that road ahead, and that unknown destination.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, they finally walked out of the strange cave and came to a familiar yet strange place. This is where they once fought and the world they once lived in. However, for them at this moment, all this seems to have become so far away and strange.

Bai Ye looked at the tired and resolute faces of the soldiers, and an indescribable emotion surged in his heart. They have experienced so many difficulties and challenges, but they can still persevere. He deeply admires this courage and perseverance.

"Everyone has worked hard, we are finally back." Bai Ye whispered, his voice full of emotion and relief. The soldiers nodded one after another, and their faces showed long-lost smiles. They knew that no matter what difficulties and challenges they would encounter in the future, as long as they united as one and moved forward courageously, nothing could stop them from moving forward. And that mysterious cave, that weird energy ball, and that abrupt toilet will all become an unforgettable memory in their life journey, forever engraved in their hearts.

Bai Ye suddenly opened his eyes. It was still pitch black around him. Only the faint light of the oil lamp was swaying, reflecting the rough stone walls in the cave. He realized vaguely that the thrilling adventure just now, the mysterious energy ball, and the public toilet that suddenly appeared were all just an illusion. His heartbeat gradually calmed down, but the fear and uneasiness still lingered in his heart and could not be shaken off.

He hurriedly looked around and saw that the soldiers were lying on the ground, unconscious. There was still fear and fatigue on their faces, as if they had just experienced a nightmare. Bai Ye's heart tightened, and he hurried forward to check on them.

He gently shook the soldiers' bodies, trying to wake them up. The soldiers gradually woke up, their eyes full of confusion and confusion. They looked at Bai Ye, as if asking what happened.

"Wake up, we have to leave here!" Bai Ye urged in a low voice, with a hint of anxiety in his voice. Hearing this, the soldiers struggled to stand up. There was still fear on their faces, but their eyes gradually regained their determination.

Bai Ye led the soldiers and fled out of the cave in a panic. Their footsteps seemed particularly hurried in the night, as if they were fleeing from an invisible demon. Although the air outside the cave was still dull, it seemed like a kind of relief and freedom for them.

When they finally escaped from the cave and came to an open space, they unexpectedly found a barbecue stall. The barbecue stall was brightly lit, smoky, and fragrant, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding desolation and silence.

Bai Ye and the soldiers stopped one after another. They looked at the sudden barbecue stall in surprise, full of doubts and confusion. They were obviously fleeing from a strange cave, so how could they suddenly come to this place full of fireworks?

The owner of the barbecue stall was a middle-aged man. He came up with a smile on his face and greeted them enthusiastically: "Hey, brothers, how about some barbecue? I guarantee that you will be satisfied with the food!"

Bai Ye and the soldiers looked at each other in bewilderment. They didn't know where this barbecue stall was and why it appeared here. However, the tempting aroma and the enthusiasm of the owner made them irresistible.

They hesitated for a moment and finally decided to sit down and try it. The owner quickly served them hot barbecue, which was fragrant and mouth-watering. Bai Ye and the soldiers picked up chopsticks and ate it in big mouthfuls.

However, as the food entered their mouths, they gradually felt a strange feeling. Although the barbecue was delicious, it seemed to carry an indescribable weirdness and uneasiness. An inexplicable fear surged in their hearts, as if this barbecue stall was not an ordinary stall, but a trap hiding countless secrets and dangers.

Bai Ye looked at the soldiers, and they also showed the same fear and uneasiness on their faces. They knew that this barbecue stall might not be simple, but they could not resist the temptation of delicious food. They seemed to be bound by an invisible force and could not break free.

Just when they were trembling with fear, the owner of the barbecue stall suddenly came over with a strange smile on his face: "Brothers, are you satisfied with the food? But, do you know that this barbecue uses a special seasoning..."

Bai Ye and the soldiers were shocked. They looked at the boss and waited for his next words. However, the boss just smiled and turned away. His smile was full of weirdness and mystery, as if it was foreshadowing something unknown that was about to happen.

Bai Ye and the soldiers put down their chopsticks one after another, their hearts filled with fear and uneasiness. They knew that this barbecue stall might hide huge secrets and dangers, but they could not resist the temptation of delicious food. They seemed to be pulled by an invisible force and could not escape this strange trap.

They tried to stand up and leave, but their bodies seemed to be frozen and unable to move. Their eyes were full of fear and despair, as if they were waiting for the judgment of fate.

At this moment, a strange fog suddenly surged around the barbecue stall, and the fog gradually spread, covering the entire barbecue stall. Bai Ye and the soldiers watched all this in horror, their hearts filled with helplessness and despair. They didn't know what this strange fog was and why it suddenly appeared.

As the fog spread, their consciousness gradually blurred. They seemed to be brought into an unknown world, a world full of weirdness and danger. An inexplicable fear and uneasiness surged in their hearts, as if foreshadowing something terrible was about to happen.

However, just as they were about to lose consciousness, a piercing sound suddenly rang out. The sound was like thunder, deafening, and woke them up from the chaos. They suddenly opened their eyes and saw that the fog around them had dissipated without a trace, and the barbecue stall had returned to its original state.

Bai Ye and the soldiers looked at each other, their hearts full of astonishment and confusion. They didn't know what had just happened and why they suddenly woke up. They only knew that this barbecue stall might not be simple, and it hid countless secrets and dangers.

They hurriedly stood up and wanted to leave this weird place. However, just as they turned around, they unexpectedly found a familiar figure. The figure was standing not far away, watching them quietly, as if waiting for their arrival.

Bai Ye and the soldiers were startled, and they recognized the figure. That was the mysterious man they had met before, the mysterious man who led them into the cave and took them through a strange adventure. Why did he appear here? Why did he lead them through all this?

Bai Ye and the soldiers were full of doubts and puzzlement. They wanted to ask, but the mysterious man just smiled and turned away. His smile was full of weirdness and mystery, as if it was foreshadowing something unknown was about to happen. And Bai Ye and the soldiers had to flee this weird cave and barbecue stall in panic with fear and anxiety, running towards the unknown distance.

At this moment, Bai Ye suddenly took out a lighter from his pocket, and the lighter flashed in the dim light, as if it was his last hope. With a light press of his finger, the flame of the lighter burst out instantly, hot and bright, in sharp contrast to the surrounding darkness. The flame not only illuminated the surroundings, but also seemed to have triggered some unknown mechanism.

The flames leaped and spread rapidly, but not in a destructive manner, but in a strange and controlled way. It moved forward along an invisible trajectory, and wherever it went, the illusory scenes burst like bubbles, revealing the truth hidden behind. The soldiers looked at all this in amazement. The land under their feet, the air around them, and even themselves seemed to be undergoing a transformation.

The flames finally gathered into a beam of light, rushing straight into the sky, illuminating the entire space like daylight. When the light dissipated, they were surprised to find that they were standing in a laboratory. The laboratory was spacious and bright, with various sophisticated instruments arranged in an orderly manner, and various data and images flashing on the display screen, which was a world of difference from the previous cave and barbecue stall.

Bai Ye and the soldiers looked at each other, their faces full of disbelief. They clearly remembered that they had entered the cave and experienced all kinds of weirdness and dangers, so how could they suddenly return to the laboratory? Was all this just an illusion? Or were they brought into another dimension by some force?

They looked around, trying to find the answer. Various scientific research posters and charts were hung on the walls of the laboratory, and experimental records and reports were scattered on the table. Everything looked so real and familiar, as if they had never left here.

However, when they looked closely, they found something unusual. Time in the laboratory seemed to be frozen. Although the data and images on the display screens were flashing, there was no change. Although the experimental records and reports were scattered, there was no dust at all, as if they had just been used.

Bai Ye's heart moved, and he walked to a laboratory table with a strange device on it. The device was composed of various complex circuits and components, with a small display in the center, showing a series of complex codes. Bai Ye looked carefully and found that the code was somewhat similar to the fluctuations released by the energy ball they encountered in the cave before.

He was shocked, as if he had found the key to the matter. He quickly pressed a button on the device, and the code on the display screen began to scroll rapidly, accompanied by a slight buzzing sound, and the whole laboratory seemed to be activated.

The soldiers gathered around, watching Bai Ye operate the device, their hearts full of expectation and anxiety. They didn't know what this device was, and whether it could take them away from this strange place.

As the code scrolled, the scene in the laboratory began to change. The data and images on the originally static display screens began to change rapidly, as if responding to some kind of command. The air in the laboratory also became agitated, as if an invisible force was brewing.

Bai Ye stared at the display screen, his fingers tapping quickly on the keyboard. He knew that he might be touching an unknown field, a field full of dangers and opportunities. But he also understood that only by facing all this bravely could they find the truth and leave this strange place.

Finally, after a complicated operation, the code on the display screen stopped scrolling, and was replaced by a simple prompt: "The experiment was successful, prepare to return."

Bai Ye breathed a sigh of relief, he looked at the soldiers, and a long-lost smile appeared on his face: "We succeeded, prepare to return."

The soldiers nodded one after another, their hearts were full of excitement and expectation. They knew that they were about to leave this strange place and return to the familiar world. However, they also knew that this experience would be forever engraved in their hearts and become the most unforgettable memory in their lives.

As Bai Ye pressed the last button, the scene in the laboratory began to distort. They seemed to be sucked into a vortex, and everything around them became blurred. Their bodies lost gravity and seemed to float in the void.

I don’t know how long it took, when their vision became clear again, they found that they had returned to the familiar laboratory. The equipment, walls, tables and chairs there were exactly the same as when they left. They smiled at each other, and their hearts were full of gratitude and joy for surviving the disaster.

Bai Ye looked at the soldiers. Although their faces still had the previous fear and fatigue, their eyes had regained firmness and courage. He knew that although this experience was strange and dangerous, it also made them more united and stronger.

They sorted out their equipment and prepared to leave the laboratory. However, before leaving, Bai Ye couldn't help but look back at the strange device. He vowed to himself that he must find out the secret of the device and why they were trapped in the strange cave and barbecue stall illusion.

He led the soldiers out of the laboratory, and the door slowly closed behind them. They set out on their way home, full of expectations and longings for the future. However, they also knew that no matter what difficulties and challenges they would encounter in the future, as long as they united as one and moved forward courageously, nothing could stop them from moving forward. And this strange experience will also become one of the most precious treasures in their life journey.
