Chapter 769 The Attacker

The night was as dark as ink, falling silently on this vast wasteland. The soldiers passed through the last sparse bushes, and suddenly the view in front of them was clear, and a simple but well-organized camp came into view. The bonfires were dotted, like fireflies in the night, bringing a touch of warmth and light to this silent land. They immediately quickened their pace and stepped into the camp, as if they were travelers returning home, finally unloading their heavy bags.

In the center of the camp, several tents were built in an orderly manner, surrounded by a simple fence made of sticks and animal skins, which was not only to defend against the intrusion of wild animals, but also to divide a safe area for them. The soldiers found an open space to sit down, and some lay down directly on the soft grass, allowing their tired bodies to be completely relaxed at this moment.

"Finally, I can rest for a while." A soldier panted, took out dry food from his backpack, and took a big bite. It was a piece of hard black bread, but at this moment, it seemed to be the most delicious delicacy in the world.

"Yeah, it's been a tough journey." Another soldier echoed, shaking the kettle in his hand gently, making a pleasant sound of water, which was the call of the source of life, making people yearn for it. He raised his head and took a big sip, and the cool water slid across his dry throat, bringing a trace of indescribable comfort.

Bai Ye sat aside, his eyes passed through the jumping of the campfire and looked further away, where there was endless darkness, as if hiding countless unknown secrets. He did not immediately join the ranks of eating, but quietly observed everything around him, with a thoughtful light flashing in his deep eyes.

"Bai Ye, don't you want to have something to eat? If you don't eat, we will grab all the food." A soldier said half-jokingly, holding half a piece of unfinished bread in his hand.

Bai Ye smiled slightly and shook his head, "You guys eat first, I'm not hungry yet." His voice was low and magnetic, always giving people an inexplicable sense of security.

As time went on, the atmosphere in the camp gradually became relaxed. The soldiers sat around the campfire, sharing their stories and experiences, occasionally with a few hearty laughs, breaking the silence of the night. Some told about the adventures they encountered on the way, while others recalled the bits and pieces of their hometown. Everyone's face was filled with an indescribable satisfaction and happiness.

"When will this war end?" A soldier suddenly sighed, his tone full of helplessness and fatigue.

"Who knows, but as long as we are still here, we have to fight." Another soldier patted him on the shoulder, his tone firm and powerful.

"Yes, for the sake of our family and this land, we can't retreat." Another soldier took over the conversation, his eyes flashing with a firm light.

Bai Ye listened quietly without interrupting. He knew that every word of these soldiers was full of desire for peace and vision for the future. Although the road ahead was unknown, they still chose to move forward bravely.

As the night deepened, the light of the campfire swayed in the cold wind, as if it would go out at any time. The soldiers finished eating one after another. Some began to organize their equipment, while others curled up in the tent and prepared to go to sleep. However, Bai Ye still sat there, and his eyes never left the sky.

"Bai Ye, what are you still looking at?" A soldier asked curiously, and he came over and sat next to Bai Ye.

"Look at the stars." Bai Ye answered softly, and his voice seemed to blend into the night, appearing particularly soft.

"Stars? It's pitch black, where are the stars?" The soldier looked up at the sky, but saw nothing except darkness.

Bai Ye smiled slightly and pointed to a corner of the sky, "Look, there, although it's faint, they are always there."

The soldier looked in the direction of Bai Ye's finger, and sure enough, on the dark sky, there were a few stars flashing faint light, like the most inconspicuous embellishment in the night sky, but so tenaciously existing.

"I didn't expect that I could still see the stars so late." The soldier exclaimed, his tone full of surprise and awe.

"Yes, no matter how late it is, the stars will not be absent." Bai Ye said softly, his eyes full of depth and thought.

The two sat quietly like this, without speaking anymore, just staring at the sky silently, as if at this moment, all the fatigue and troubles were thrown into the clouds. Although the light of the stars is weak, it gives them an inexplicable strength and courage, making them believe that no matter how difficult the road ahead is, as long as there is light in their hearts, they can find the direction to move forward.

As time passed, the bonfire in the camp gradually went out, leaving only a few stars flickering in the night sky. The soldiers fell asleep one by one, only Bai Ye remained awake, his eyes still locked on the starry sky.

"Stars, stars, how many joys and sorrows you have witnessed, and how much bravery and fearlessness you have witnessed." Bai Ye muttered silently in his heart, his voice was weak, but full of sincerity and affection.

The night is getting deeper and deeper, and the wind is getting colder and colder. But on this wasteland, there is a camp and a group of soldiers who are guarding this land and the beliefs in their hearts in their own way. And the starry sky, like a kind old man, silently watched them and gave them endless strength and courage.

"Tomorrow will be another new day." Bai Ye muttered in his heart, his eyes flashing with determination. He knew that no matter how difficult the road ahead was, as long as they were united, nothing could stop them from moving forward.

In this way, the soldiers spent a quiet and long night in the camp. They ate, drank water, replenished their physical strength, and stared at the sky together to pass the time. Although the night was cold and long, their hearts were full of warmth and hope. Because under this starry sky, they were no longer lonely travelers, but each other's most solid support.

The night finally came to an end. When the first ray of morning light penetrated the darkness and sprinkled on this wasteland, the soldiers woke up from their sleep. They rubbed their sleepy eyes, stretched, and then quickly packed their equipment to prepare for a new day.

Bai Ye stood up and looked at the rising sun in the distance, with an inexplicable excitement and expectation in his heart. He knew that on this day, they would continue to move forward and continue to fight. For the beliefs and ideals in their hearts, they would never give up.

However, at this moment, they just stood quietly in the center of the camp, enjoying this rare tranquility and peace. They looked at each other, with a firm light in their eyes, as if saying: "No matter how difficult the road ahead is, we must go on together."

In this way, the soldiers spent the last quiet night in the camp. When the morning light completely dispelled the darkness, they embarked on a new journey and headed towards the unknown. And the starry sky still hung quietly in the sky, silently guarding them and witnessing their growth and transformation.

As the first ray of sunlight completely illuminated the desert, Bai Ye took out an exquisite detector from his backpack. Its surface flashed with metallic luster, which was particularly eye-catching in the morning light. This detector is an important tool for their trip, which can accurately measure the gravity of the environment.

"Everyone get ready, we are going to start working." Bai Ye's voice was steady and powerful, instantly attracting the attention of all the soldiers. They quickly gathered around, their eyes full of curiosity and expectation.

Bai Ye adjusted the detector to the best state, and then carefully placed it on the ground. The display screen of the detector began to flash, and various data scrolled rapidly, as if telling the secret of this desert.

"Gravity value... start measuring." Bai Ye muttered in a low voice, his eyes fixed on the display screen of the detector, for fear of missing any details.

The soldiers also held their breath and waited for the results of the detection. Time passed by minute by minute, and the display screen of the detector finally stabilized, showing a set of surprising data.

"Is this... is this true?" Bai Ye's voice trembled slightly, and he couldn't believe his eyes. The detection results showed that the gravity value of this desert was nearly 20% lower than that of the earth's surface!

"Bai Ye, what's wrong? What's the result?" A soldier couldn't help asking, his voice full of tension.

Bai Ye took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He looked up at the soldiers, with an indescribable light in his eyes: "The gravity here is nearly 20% lighter than that of the earth."

The soldiers heard this and showed shocked expressions. They looked at each other, as if at this moment, the whole world was turned upside down.

"How is this possible? Can there be differences in gravity?" A soldier shook his head in disbelief, his voice full of doubt.

"Indeed, gravity is not constant. It is affected by many factors, such as the mass of the planet, the speed of rotation, the internal structure, and the interference of the external environment." Bai Ye explained patiently, his voice full of professionalism and confidence.

The soldiers listened to Bai Ye's explanation and nodded to show their understanding. Although they were not scientists, Bai Ye's explanation gave them a deeper understanding of gravity.

"Then... does this have any impact on us?" Another soldier asked cautiously, his voice full of worry.

Bai Ye pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "There must be an impact, but the specific details still require further observation and research. However, from the current situation, the reduction of gravity here may make our actions easier, but it may also bring some potential risks, such as the stability of objects and the adaptability of the human body."

The soldiers heard this and fell into deep thought. They knew that in this unknown desert, every detail could be the key to life or death.

"Then... what should we do next?" A soldier broke the silence, his voice a little confused.

Bai Ye looked up into the distance, his eyes flashing with determination: "Keep going and explore the secrets of this desert. We must use a scientific attitude and method to uncover its mystery."

The soldiers nodded in agreement. They knew that no matter how difficult the road ahead was, as long as they were united, nothing could stop them from moving forward.

So, under the leadership of Bai Ye, the soldiers set out on their journey again. They crossed the desert carefully, always paying attention to the changes around them. In this desert with abnormal gravity, every step they took seemed particularly heavy, but full of hope and expectation.

As time went by, the soldiers gradually adapted to the gravity environment here. They found that although the action became easier, they also needed to be more cautious and careful. Because in this desert, any small mistake could have fatal consequences.

Bai Ye used a detector to continuously measure and record the gravity data of the desert. He hoped that through these data, he could find the source of the gravity anomaly and thus uncover the mystery of the desert.

However, as they went deeper into the desert, the situation became more and more complicated. They encountered various challenges and difficulties, such as sudden sandstorms, unpredictable terrain, and unknown creatures hidden deep in the desert. Every encounter made them feel afraid, but it also strengthened their determination to explore.

After a sandstorm, Bai Ye and the soldiers found a strange cave. The cave was hidden under a sand dune, and the entrance was covered with thick sand. If it were not for the scouring of the sandstorm, they would hardly find it.

"Everyone be careful, there may be danger here." Bai Ye whispered, his voice full of vigilance.

Upon hearing this, the soldiers tightened their weapons and approached the cave carefully. They carefully dug the entrance and then slowly crawled in.

The inside of the cave was pitch black, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you. The soldiers turned on their flashlights and illuminated the road ahead. They found that the cave was extremely deep, as if it led to the center of the earth.

"Here... what exactly is this place?" A soldier couldn't help asking, with a hint of fear in his voice.

Bai Ye didn't answer, but continued to explore forward. He knew that only by walking through it himself could he uncover the mystery of this desert.

As they went deeper into the cave, the surrounding scene began to change. They saw all kinds of strange rocks and minerals, as well as crystals that flashed strange light. These scenes made them feel both surprised and frightened, because they had never seen such a strange place.

"Here... this seems to be a huge underground world." A soldier exclaimed, his voice full of shock.

Bai Ye nodded in agreement. He knew that this underground world might hide the secret of this desert, and their mission was to find the source of this secret.

So, under Bai Ye's leadership, the soldiers continued to go deeper into the cave. They passed through the narrow passage, climbed over the steep rock wall, and finally came to a huge underground cave. The cave was spacious and bright, like a natural palace.

"Here... is this where we are looking for?" a soldier asked, with a hint of excitement in his voice.

Bai Ye looked around and nodded: "Yes, this is where we are looking for. The gravity anomaly here is likely to be emitted from this underground cave."

The soldiers were surprised when they heard this. They didn't expect that such a huge secret was hidden under this seemingly ordinary desert.
