Chapter 730 Desert

Bai Ye led the soldiers, taking heavy steps, and continued to move forward in this unknown land. The sun shone obliquely, but it seemed unable to penetrate the oppressive atmosphere and bring light to this desolate land. Their footsteps were particularly clear in the silence, and each step was on the dry sand, raising a burst of fine dust.

"Bai Ye, this place... is there really what we are looking for?" A soldier finally couldn't help but broke the silence. There was a hint of uncertainty in his voice, and more fatigue.

Bai Ye did not answer immediately, but just looked up at the seemingly endless green desert in the distance. The green here is not a vibrant green, but a dull and depressing dark green, as if it was a prank of nature, distorting the vibrant colors into disturbing tones. He took a deep breath, trying to catch a hint of unusual breath from the air, but there was nothing except dryness and dust.

"We received the order to move forward here, so there is no turning back." Bai Ye's voice was steady and firm. He knew that at this moment, as the leader, he must remain calm and determined. He turned around and swept his eyes across the faces of every soldier, trying to find a trace of firmness and courage in their eyes.

The soldiers looked at each other. Although there was no speech, there was a hint of helplessness and persistence in each other's eyes. They knew that the mission was arduous, but since they had embarked on this road, there was no reason to give up.

"Keep going." Bai Ye gave the order again. Upon hearing this, the soldiers adjusted their status and continued their journey.

As time went by, the desolation and monotony of the green desert became more and more obvious. There was no wind, no birdsong, and even a trace of life was difficult to detect. Every step was like stepping into an endless cycle, which made people feel desperate.

"Bai Ye, this desert... is there something wrong?" Another soldier suddenly stopped, his eyes fixed on a piece of sand not far ahead, where there seemed to be some unusual fluctuations.

Bai Ye immediately became alert upon hearing this. He walked quickly to the soldier and looked in the direction he pointed. The green vegetation on the sand seemed to be denser than the surrounding area, but upon closer inspection, it seemed like some kind of illusion, making it elusive.

"Everyone be careful, there may be unknown dangers hidden here." Bai Ye reminded in a low voice, and at the same time signaled the soldiers to stay alert and slowly move forward.

However, when they approached the strange sand, nothing happened. Those seemingly dense green vegetation disappeared like a layer of phantom when they touched their footsteps. The soldiers looked at each other, and their hearts were even more puzzled.

"It seems that this desert is much more complicated than we thought." Bai Ye frowned, and an ominous premonition surged in his heart. He knew that in this unknown area, any tiny abnormality could hide huge dangers.

The soldiers continued to move forward, but their pace became more cautious and slow. They always remained vigilant, fearing that they would accidentally step into an unknown trap.

"Bai Ye, we have walked for so long and have not found even a drop of water. If this continues..." A soldier's voice was filled with anxiety. He licked his cracked lips and his eyes were full of desire.

Bai Ye knew that the soldiers had reached the limit of their physical strength. They had been walking under the scorching sun for a long time without a drop of water, and their bodies were severely dehydrated. But at this moment, he could not show any weakness or hesitation.

"Everyone hold on a little longer, we will definitely find water." Although Bai Ye's voice was a little hoarse, it was still full of firmness and strength. He tried to use his beliefs to encourage the soldiers to keep moving forward.

However, as time went on, the soldiers' condition became worse and worse. Their steps became staggering and their eyes became blurred. Bai Ye looked at this scene with helplessness and anxiety in his heart. He knew that if this continued, the soldiers would probably fall down due to physical exhaustion.

"Bai Ye... can we... really... still get out?" A soldier's voice was crying, and his eyes were full of despair and fear.

Bai Ye took a deep breath and tried to keep himself calm. He looked at the soldiers, trying to find a glimmer of hope in their eyes. However, all he saw was exhaustion, despair and confusion.

"We can get out!" Bai Ye's voice suddenly became loud and powerful. He waved his arms vigorously, trying to awaken the fighting spirit and courage in the soldiers' hearts. "We are warriors! We are guardians! No matter how difficult the environment is, we can't give up!"

The soldiers were shocked by Bai Ye's words. They raised their heads one after another, and the light of hope rekindled in their eyes. They looked at each other and then resolute their steps forward again.

However, the cruelty of the green desert did not change. It was still desolate and monotonous here, as if it was an endless maze that trapped them firmly in it. The soldiers' physical strength was constantly being consumed, and their spirits were constantly being destroyed.

"Bai Ye... I... can't walk anymore..." A soldier finally fell to the ground, his face was as pale as paper, and his lips were so dry that they were almost cracked. His eyes were full of despair and helplessness, as if he had given up the hope of life.

Bai Ye walked quickly to the soldier and helped him up. He looked at the soldier's exhausted face, and a deep sense of powerlessness surged in his heart. He knew that he had to make a decision, otherwise the soldiers would probably fall down one by one and never stand up again.

"Everyone, take a rest here." Bai Ye sighed helplessly, and then motioned the soldiers to sit together. He knew that this decision might make them more tired and desperate, but at this moment, he had no better choice.

The soldiers sat down one after another, their bodies pressed tightly together, trying to draw a little warmth and strength from each other's body temperature. They sat silently, without words, only heavy breathing and occasional coughing.

Bai Ye looked at this scene, his heart full of helplessness and sadness. He knew that as a leader, he had the responsibility to lead the soldiers out of this green desert and find what they were looking for. But at this moment, he felt unprecedented confusion and helplessness.

"Bai Ye... can we... really survive?" The voice of a soldier broke the silence again, with a hint of trembling and uncertainty in his voice.

Bai Ye looked at the soldiers' eyes full of fear and despair, and a strong sense of responsibility surged in his heart. He knew that he had to bring hope to the soldiers and cheer them up again.

"We can survive!" Bai Ye's voice was firm and powerful. He waved his arms vigorously, trying to awaken the fighting spirit and courage in the soldiers' hearts. "As long as we are united, nothing can stop us!"

However, the soldiers' reaction was beyond Bai Ye's expectations. They were not inspired by Bai Ye's words as before, but silently lowered their heads, as if they had fallen into deep despair.

Bai Ye looked at this scene, and a strong sense of frustration surged in his heart. He knew that no matter what he said, he could not change the fear and despair in the soldiers' hearts. They had been exhausted by this green desert and could no longer bear more blows.

"Bai Ye... Are we... going to die..." A soldier's voice was crying, and his eyes were full of fear and despair.

Bai Ye's heart tightened when he heard this. He looked at the soldier's trembling body and desperate eyes, and suddenly felt a strong sense of powerlessness. He knew that he had to make a decision, otherwise the soldiers would probably all die here.

"No! We won't die!" Bai Ye suddenly stood up, his voice was loud and powerful, as if to break the silence of the green desert, "We are warriors! We are guardians! We have firm beliefs and endless courage! As long as we don't give up, we will definitely be able to get out!"

However, the soldiers' reaction was even more heartbreaking. They were not inspired by Bai Ye's words as before, but silently lowered their heads, as if they had given up hope of living. Their bodies were trembling, and their eyes were full of fear and despair.

Bai Ye looked at this scene, and a strong sense of grief and anger surged in his heart. He knew that no matter what he said, he could not change the fear and despair in the hearts of the soldiers. They had been tortured by this green desert and lost all their fighting spirit and courage.

"Why are you doing this?" Bai Ye's voice was filled with anger and helplessness, "We are warriors! We are guardians! We have firm beliefs and endless courage! We should not fall here!"

However, the soldiers remained silent. Their bodies were pressed tightly together, as if they wanted to draw a little warmth and strength from each other's body temperature. But their eyes were full of fear and despair, as if they had seen their own fate.

Bai Ye looked at this scene, and a strong sense of powerlessness surged in his heart. He knew that no matter what he said, he could not change the fate of the soldiers. They had been swallowed up by this green desert and could no longer escape.

"I'm sorry... I didn't lead you well..." Bai Ye's voice was low and hoarse, and he lowered his head, as if he wanted to bury his pain and despair deeply in his heart. He knew that as a leader, he had an unshirkable responsibility. But he was powerless to change all this, and could only watch the soldiers fall one by one.

The soldiers raised their heads one by one after hearing this, and their eyes were full of complex emotions. They looked at Bai Ye's exhausted face and guilty eyes, and an indescribable feeling of moving and admiration surged in their hearts. They knew that Bai Ye had tried his best. He had been trying to lead them out of this green desert, but fate was so cruel to them.

"Bai Ye... It's not your fault..." A soldier finally spoke to break the silence, "We... We tried our best..."

When Bai Ye heard this, a warm current surged in his heart. He looked at the soldiers' determined eyes and tired faces, and suddenly felt a strong sense of pride and pride. He knew that although these soldiers were exhausted, desperate and helpless, they still maintained the dignity and courage of soldiers. They were not defeated by this green desert, but chose to persist and fight.

"We... are soldiers!" Bai Ye's voice sounded again, and his voice was full of determination and strength, "We will not succumb to fate! We will keep moving forward! Until we find our hope!"

When the soldiers heard this, they stood up one after another, and the light of hope rekindled in their eyes. They looked at each other, and then resolute their steps forward again. They knew that this road was full of unknowns and dangers, but they were ready and willing to give everything for hope.

However, the cruelty of the green desert did not change. It was still desolate and monotonous, as if it was an endless maze that trapped them. The soldiers' physical strength was constantly being consumed, and their spirits were constantly being destroyed. But they still did not give up, but chose to persist and fight.

Just as the soldiers were about to be completely swallowed up by the green desert and the fire of hope in their hearts was about to go out, the sky suddenly changed. The originally dull and depressing sky began to gather heavy dark clouds at some point. They rolled and collided, as if it was a long-brewing catharsis of nature.

"Look, what is that?" A soldier suddenly pointed to the sky, with a hint of disbelief and surprise in his voice.

Bai Ye looked up immediately after hearing this. I saw that the dark clouds were approaching rapidly, and they were roaring like thunder, as if they were going to completely awaken this silent green desert. An inexplicable excitement surged in his heart. Could it be... this is a gift from God to them?

"It's rain! It's rain!" another soldier shouted excitedly, with a long-lost smile on his face, as if he had seen the hope of life.

The soldiers looked up at the sky, their eyes flashing with expectation and desire. They knew that this rain was like a timely rain for them at this moment, which could save them from despair.

As the dark clouds approached, the wind began to gradually increase. It whistled through the green desert, bringing up waves of sand and dust, as if paving the way for the coming rain. The soldiers held their weapons tightly, their bodies trembling slightly because of excitement and tension.

Finally, the first drop of rain fell on the sand, it quickly penetrated in and disappeared without a trace. But then, more rain poured down, they were like travelers who had been drought for a long time and embraced the dry land crazily. The soldiers opened their arms and let the rain fall on them, feeling the long-lost coolness and moisture.

"Great! We are finally saved!" A soldier shouted excitedly, his face full of joy and tears.

Bai Ye looked at this scene, his heart was also full of excitement and emotion. He knew that this rain not only saved the lives of the soldiers, but also rekindled the fire of hope in their hearts. They were no longer the group struggling in despair, but regained the dignity and courage of the soldiers.

The rain continued to fall, moistening every inch of the green desert, and also moistening the dry hearts of the soldiers. They took off their kettles and carefully collected the precious rain water for emergency use.
