Chapter 768 Camp

At the edge of the desert, the sun was as hot as molten gold, baking the sand. Bai Ye and the soldiers stood at the edge of the camp, staring at the vast sea of ​​sand, their hearts full of uncertainty and anxiety. They knew that this trip would be an extreme test of their will to survive and teamwork.

"Are we ready?" Bai Ye's voice was steady and powerful, although there was also an imperceptible worry in his eyes.

The soldiers looked at each other, without saying much, the tacit understanding and determination had been conveyed silently. They nodded, holding the water bottle and dry food bag in their hands tightly, which was their only support in this vast desert.

"Remember, keep the formation, save water, and find shelter immediately when encountering wind and sand." Bai Ye once again emphasized the precautions before entering the desert, and every word was like a heavy hammer, knocking on everyone's heart.

With Bai Ye's order, the soldiers set out on the journey. Their steps were firm and powerful, but every step seemed to be struggling with gravity and high temperature. The wind in the desert was sometimes as gentle as silk, sometimes as violent as a beast, with sand cutting across their cheeks and arms like a knife.

"This desert is more cruel than I imagined." A soldier murmured to himself, his voice was blown away by the wind, but the fear of the unknown quietly grew in everyone's heart.

Bai Ye walked at the front of the team, his back was like a lighthouse, guiding the direction and giving the soldiers the courage to move forward. He stopped from time to time, observing the terrain ahead with a telescope, looking for possible water sources or shelters.

"Keep up, don't fall behind." Bai Ye's voice penetrated the wind, like an invisible rope, tightly connecting the soldiers.

As time passed, the sun gradually sank, but the heat of the desert did not diminish at all. The soldiers' physical strength began to overdraw, and the water in the canteen was also decreasing little by little. They began to feel thirsty, their lips were cracked, and every step was like stepping on cotton, weak and powerless.

"How far is it?" A soldier finally couldn't help asking, his voice full of fatigue and despair.

Bai Ye stopped and looked back at the team. His eyes were both firm and helpless. "I don't know, but we must keep going until we find water."

As night fell, the temperature in the desert dropped sharply, but the cold did not bring any comfort to the soldiers. They huddled together, relying on each other's body temperature to keep warm. In the night sky, the stars were dotted, as if they were lights in the distant world, but they were out of reach.

"We will get out, right?" a soldier asked softly, with a tremor in his voice.

Bai Ye did not answer, but just looked at the sky silently, with mixed feelings in his heart. He knew that the answer to this question depended on the will and determination of each of them.

The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated the gap in the sand dunes, the soldiers set out on the journey again. Their steps had become staggering, but the firmness in their eyes had never wavered. They knew that in this desert, giving up meant death.

"Look, there are birds over there!" a soldier suddenly shouted, his voice full of surprise.

Bai Ye looked in the direction of his finger, and indeed saw a group of flying birds circling in the distance. That means there is water nearby, which is their only hope in this sea of ​​death.

"Hurry up and keep up!" Bai Ye ordered loudly, his voice full of eagerness and expectation.

The soldiers seemed to be injected with new strength. They quickened their pace. Although every step was like dancing on the edge of a knife, they still rushed forward without hesitation.

Finally, when the sun was about to hang high in the sky again, they found an oasis. It was a lake surrounded by sand dunes, the lake water was clear and sparkling. The soldiers cheered and rushed to the lake. They couldn't wait to hold the lake water, letting the cool liquid moisten their thirsty throats and tired bodies.

"We did it!" A soldier shouted excitedly, his tears and sweat intertwined and slid down his cheeks.

Bai Ye stood by the lake, looking at this hard-won oasis, he felt both gratified and emotional. He knew that the test of this desert was just a microcosm of their long journey. But it was this experience that made them more united and more resilient.

"Take a break, and then keep going." Bai Ye's voice was calm and firm. He knew that although they had temporarily gotten rid of the troubles of the desert, the road ahead was still long and there were still many challenges.

The soldiers sat around the lake, enjoying the rare tranquility and coolness. They shared each other's stories and talked about their dreams for the future. In this oasis, they seemed to have found the lost hope and strength.

However, when the sun rises again, they must embark on the journey again. At the end of the desert is the unknown shore, which is also the home they yearn for in their hearts. They know that only by moving forward can they reach the land of dreams.

In this way, under the leadership of Bai Ye, the soldiers embarked on the journey again. Although their footsteps were heavy, their hearts were full of hope and courage. They knew that no matter how difficult the road ahead was, as long as they depended on each other, there would be no difficulties that could not be overcome.

The wind in the desert was still blowing, carrying sand and the breath of the unknown. But the soldiers were no longer afraid. They used their tenacity and perseverance to write their own legend.

In this vast sea of ​​sand, their figures gradually faded away, leaving only a series of footprints of varying depths, recording the path they had walked. And that oasis became the eternal lighthouse in their hearts, guiding the direction they were going.

"We will go home, right?" a soldier asked softly, his voice full of expectation.

Bai Ye did not look back, but walked forward silently. His back was like an indestructible mountain, giving the soldiers the courage and strength to move forward. He knew that as long as there was a home in his heart, no matter where he went, it would be his home. In the depths of the desert, the sun was as hot as molten gold, baking the sand to boiling hot, and the air was filled with a repressive and tense atmosphere. Bai Ye and the soldiers were walking along a winding path, their steps were heavy and firm, and every step seemed to be a silent struggle with this sea of ​​death.

Suddenly, a burst of rapid and chaotic footsteps broke the tranquility of the desert. Bai Ye stopped immediately, his eyes became sharp and alert, and he quickly looked around, trying to find the source of the sound.

"It's wild dogs!" A soldier shouted in fear, with a tremor in his voice.

Bai Ye looked in the direction of his finger, and saw a group of thin wild dogs with messy hair running towards them. The eyes of these wild dogs were full of wildness and madness, and saliva dripped from their mouths, obviously driven by some unknown force.

"Quick! Prepare for battle!" Bai Ye ordered loudly, his voice full of eagerness and determination.

The soldiers responded quickly, and they took out weapons from their backpacks one after another, some holding daggers, some holding sticks, and others took out pistols. They stood in a circle, back to back, holding their weapons tightly in their hands, ready for the upcoming battle.

The wild dogs ran closer and closer, their speed was amazing, as if they were hunters who had been running in this desert for a long time. There was greed and cruelty in their eyes, as if they wanted to tear these humans who broke into their territory into pieces.

"Be careful! They may be affected by radiation and behave abnormally!" Bai Ye reminded again, his eyes full of solemnity.

The soldiers couldn't help but feel nervous when they heard this. They knew that radiation was extremely harmful and could change the genes and behaviors of organisms. These wild dogs were obviously no longer ordinary beasts, but monsters with deadly threats.

At this moment, the wild dogs attacked. They rushed towards the soldiers like arrows from a string, opened their bloody mouths, and revealed their sharp fangs. The soldiers were not afraid. They waved their weapons and fought desperately with the wild dogs.

The battle was extremely fierce. The soldiers and the wild dogs fought back and forth. The daggers scratched the fur of the wild dogs, and the sticks hit the bones of the wild dogs, making a dull sound. The gunshots of the pistols came one after another, and the bullets drew hot tracks in the desert, hitting the bodies of the wild dogs, splashing pieces of blood.

However, the number of wild dogs was large and their behavior was extremely ferocious. They seemed tireless and painless, and pounced on the soldiers again and again, trying to tear them into pieces. Although the soldiers were brave, they gradually seemed powerless under such an offensive.

"Hold on! We can't give up!" Bai Ye shouted loudly, his voice full of encouragement and motivation.

The soldiers heard the words, and a surge of strength surged in their hearts. They gritted their teeth, waved their weapons, and fought more fiercely with the wild dogs. Their eyes were full of determination and courage, as if they wanted to completely shatter the fear and despair in this desert.

At this moment, a soldier suddenly discovered the weakness of the wild dogs. He found that although these wild dogs were ferocious, their eyes were extremely fragile. As long as they hit their eyes, they could instantly lose their combat effectiveness.

"Attack their eyes!" The soldier shouted loudly, his voice sounded particularly loud in the battle.

Hearing this, the soldiers adjusted the direction of their attack. They aimed at the eyes of the wild dogs and waved their weapons vigorously. The dagger slashed through the wild dog's eyeball, and the stick hit the wild dog's eye socket, making a crisp sound. The gunshot of the pistol was also more accurate, and the bullet shot directly into the wild dog's eyes, killing them instantly.

Under the fierce attack of the soldiers, the number of wild dogs gradually decreased. They began to look panicked and helpless, and no longer attacked as fiercely as before. The soldiers seized the opportunity and continued to launch a fierce offensive, killing the remaining wild dogs one by one.

The battle was finally over, and the soldiers collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath. Their bodies were covered with blood and sand, but their eyes were full of victory and joy. They knew that they had just experienced a life-and-death battle, but it was this battle that made them more united and stronger.

"We won!" A soldier shouted excitedly, with a tremor in his voice.

Bai Ye stood aside and watched the soldiers silently. He was both relieved and emotional in his heart. He knew that this battle was just an episode in their long journey, but it was this experience that made them cherish the friendship and trust between each other more.

"Check the wounded, organize the equipment, and we will continue to move forward." Bai Ye's voice was calm and firm, and his words were full of strength and determination.

Upon hearing this, the soldiers stood up and began to check each other's injuries. Fortunately, although the battle was fierce, they were not seriously injured. They quickly organized their equipment and set out on the journey again.

The wind in the desert was still blowing, carrying sand and the breath of the unknown. But the soldiers were no longer afraid. They used their tenacity and perseverance to write their own legends. They knew that no matter how difficult the road ahead was, as long as they depended on each other, there would be no difficulties that could not be overcome.

At this moment, a soldier suddenly stopped and pointed to a sand dune in front of him and said, "Look! There is a fire over there!"

Bai Ye looked in the direction of his finger and saw a faint fire flickering behind a sand dune. The fire was particularly eye-catching in the desert, as if it was guiding them in the direction they were going.

"Maybe someone is there." Bai Ye guessed, his eyes full of expectation.

Hearing this, the soldiers quickened their pace. They ran towards the direction of the fire, full of hope and curiosity. They wanted to know what secrets were hidden behind the sand dune, and what stories were waiting for them to discover.

As the distance got closer, the fire gradually became clearer. The soldiers found that it was a small camp surrounded by sand dunes, and the campfire flickered faintly in the night. They approached the camp cautiously, trying to observe the situation inside.

Just then, a figure suddenly walked out of the camp. It was a man wearing ragged clothes and haggard. When he saw the soldiers, a flash of surprise and fear flashed in his eyes.

"Who are you? Where are you from?" He asked in a trembling voice, as if he was afraid of something.

The soldiers did not answer, they just looked at this person silently. They knew that in this world full of unknowns and dangers, everyone needs to be vigilant and cautious.

Bai Ye took a step forward, he smiled and said: "We are travelers and lost. Excuse me, can you tell us where this is? Is there any water and food?"

The man heard this, and a flash of hesitation flashed in his eyes. But when he saw the tired and eager eyes of the soldiers, he finally nodded.

"This is an abandoned camp in the desert. There is a small amount of water and food here, but not much. You can rest here for one night and continue on tomorrow." He said, with a hint of helplessness and sympathy in his tone.

The soldiers heard this and felt grateful. They knew how lucky it was to find a safe shelter in this dangerous world. They thanked the man and walked into the camp.

Although the camp was simple, it was enough to temporarily keep them away from the heat and danger of the desert. They sat around the campfire and shared each other's stories and experiences. In this small space, they felt the warmth and peace of home.

However, they also knew that this was only a temporary stop. Tomorrow, they will continue to move forward to explore the unknown world and find their home. But no matter how difficult the road ahead is, they will go hand in hand and face all challenges and difficulties together. Because in this world full of unknowns and dangers, only by relying on each other can we go further and more steadily.
