Chapter 559: Crossing the Ruins

Bai Ye led the soldiers through the endless wasteland.

This land has long been eroded by time and is devastated, like a broken painting, which makes people feel desolate. Years of war and disasters have turned this place into a ruin, and the former prosperity and vitality have long disappeared.

Bai Ye's eyes are deep and sharp, as if he can penetrate the fog of this wasteland and find hope ahead.

The soldiers followed Bai Ye, they walked silently, and the ruins under their feet made a dull sound. Everyone's face was full of fatigue and heaviness, but their eyes revealed an unyielding perseverance.

The ruins and debris along the way seemed to tell the past glory and pain. The collapsed buildings and dilapidated blocks are silently telling the story of this land. The soldiers occasionally stopped and stared at these ruins, as if looking for memories of the past.

"It must have been very prosperous here." A soldier whispered, his eyes fell on a ruin, where there used to be a tall building, but now only broken walls and ruins are left.

"Yeah, it's a pity that it has become like this now." Another soldier sighed, a trace of regret flashed in his eyes.

Bai Ye didn't speak, he just silently observed this piece of wasteland. He knew that every ruin and every wreckage on this land represented the pain and sacrifice in the past. However, he also believed that there must be new hope and future on this piece of wasteland.

They continued to move forward, passed through a ruin, and came to an open area. This used to be a farmland, but now it has become a wasteland. Some farm tools and broken pottery were scattered on the ground, as if telling people about the hard work and harvest here.

The soldiers looked at this barren land, and a sense of sadness surged in their hearts. They imagined the scene here in the past, those hardworking farmers working in the fields, harvesting full of hope. But now, there is only silence and desolation here.

Bai Ye stopped and looked at the land, with a strong belief in his heart. He knew that although the land was barren, as long as someone was willing to work hard, it would be able to revive it.

"We can't let this land go on like this." Bai Ye said in a deep voice. Although his voice was low, it was full of firmness and strength.

The soldiers nodded one after another, and there was a glimmer of hope in their eyes. They knew that although the road ahead was full of difficulties and hardships, as long as they were united, they would be able to overcome all difficulties.

They continued to move forward, passing through ruins and wastelands. Everyone's steps became more firm and powerful, and their hearts were full of expectations and hopes for the future. On this wasteland, they seemed to see a new dawn, which was slowly rising.

On the endless wasteland, the soldiers followed Bai Ye's footsteps, passing through the ruins and walls, and experienced the baptism of wind and frost. At this moment, a small lake surrounded by ruins appeared in front of them. This lake seemed to be a corner forgotten by time, lying quietly on this barren land, exuding a unique charm.

The edge of the lake is surrounded by ruins and debris. The former buildings are now only broken walls and ruins, quietly telling the past glory and vicissitudes. On the ruins, all kinds of weeds and vines grow, swaying in the wind, as if telling the soldiers the story of this land.

The surface of the lake is not calm, and the breeze blows, causing ripples. Although the lake water is turbid, it exudes a vibrant atmosphere. The sun shines through the clouds and sprinkles on the lake, creating patches of golden light, making the lake look more mysterious and beautiful.

The soldiers approached the lake one after another, staring at the lake surrounded by ruins, and an inexplicable emotion surged in their hearts. They imagined what the lake used to look like, whether it was once clear and bottomless, and whether it had bred countless lives. However, the lake in front of them has become turbid, as if telling the suffering and struggle of this land.

A soldier squatted down, he stretched out his hand and gently stroked the waves on the lake. His fingers passed through the lake, bringing up tiny ripples. He felt the temperature and touch of the lake water, as if he could feel the pulse of life from it.

"Although the lake water is turbid, it still flows with the breath of life." The soldier whispered, his voice full of emotion and awe.

Other soldiers also reached out and touched the lake. They felt the moisture and temperature of the lake water, as if they were establishing a special connection with the land. They knew that although the lake was surrounded by ruins, it still had the power of life and could still bloom with unique brilliance on this barren land.

Around the lake, traces of wild animals can occasionally be seen. Some birds hovered over the lake, sometimes flying low over the water, sometimes staying on the ruins, making crisp calls. The appearance of these birds brought a touch of vitality and vitality to the ruins.

The soldiers stood quietly beside the lake, admiring the lake surrounded by ruins, with awe and emotion in their hearts. They knew that on this wasteland, the power of life was extremely powerful, and as long as someone was willing to care for and nourish it, it would surely be able to revitalize it.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and the soldiers established a silent connection with the lake. They felt the breath and pulse of the lake, and also felt the hope and power of this wasteland. Beside this lake surrounded by ruins, the soldiers' hearts were deeply touched and baptized.

They stood silently for a long time, until the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the lake, reflecting a golden light. They reluctantly left the lake and continued to move forward. However, in their hearts, this lake surrounded by ruins has left a deep mark, becoming a beacon on their way forward, guiding them towards the future and hope.

The lake water ripples under the breeze, as if telling one unfinished story after another. Those fragments forgotten by time, those secrets sunk to the bottom of the lake, all lie quietly under this sparkling lake, waiting for the discovery of the destined person.

Occasionally, a few water birds fly over the lake, their reflections stretching in the lake water, and then dissipating with the ripples. These creatures seem to have an indissoluble bond with this lake. They either forage here or live here, bringing a touch of vitality to this ruined land.

The weeds and vines by the lake also show tenacious vitality. Although their roots are rooted in the cracks of the ruins, they still strive to grow upward and stretch towards the sun. The existence of these plants not only decorates this lake, but also makes people see the tenacity and indomitable spirit of life.

With the arrival of sunset, the scenery of the lake becomes more charming. The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkles on the lake, dyeing the lake water golden. The ruins in the distance seem to be covered with a golden coat under the reflection of the setting sun, which looks solemn and mysterious.

"Beautiful, very beautiful."

The soldiers stood by the lake, quietly admiring the beautiful scenery. A rare smile appeared on their faces, and the fatigue and heaviness in their hearts seemed to be relieved at this moment. They knew that although this lake surrounded by ruins seemed desolate, it contained endless vitality and hope.

Beside this lake, the soldiers felt the tenacity and beauty of life, and also felt the infinite possibilities of the future. They knew that as long as they had faith and courage in their hearts, they would be able to create new miracles on this wasteland.

Bai Ye stood by the lake, looking at the lake, his heart full of emotion. He knew that although this wasteland was desolate, the power of life was indestructible. As long as someone was willing to care for and nourish it, it would be able to revive it.

They continued to move forward, passing through ruins and wastelands. On this wasteland, they left firm footprints and endless hope. They believed that as long as they did not give up or retreat, they would be able to create new miracles on this wasteland.

As night fell, the soldiers dragged their tired bodies and sat around a ruin. The stones of the ruins had been eroded by the years, as if telling the vicissitudes of the past. It was quiet all around, with only the occasional sound of the wind in the distance, adding a bit of desolation and loneliness to the ruins.

The soldiers sat down one after another, some with their backs against the ruins, and some leaning against the broken walls. Their faces were full of fatigue, but their eyes flashed with a firm light. In this long journey, they have long been accustomed to such hardships and difficulties, but have never given up hope and pursuit for the future.

"Let's light a fire. It's getting late. We must light a fire, otherwise it will be difficult to spend the night."

A soldier took out a match from his backpack and lit a weak flame. He carefully lit a pile of dry wood, and in an instant, the flames burned fiercely, illuminating an area around. The light of the bonfire jumped on the faces of the soldiers, reflecting their resolute and tired faces.

"Okay! What a good fire!"

The flames crackled, as if playing a victory hymn for the soldiers. The soldiers sat around the bonfire, feeling the warmth and light. Their mood gradually relaxed and began to talk.

"Today's journey is really long." A soldier sighed, with a hint of fatigue in his voice.

"Yes, but we finally arrived here safely." Another soldier responded, with a satisfied light in his eyes.

The soldiers gradually had more topics to talk about. They talked about what they saw and heard on the road, sharing each other's stories and experiences. The light of the bonfire illuminated their faces, making their expressions more vivid and real.

"Do you know? I once saw a tenacious tree in an abandoned city." A soldier suddenly said, with a hint of excitement in his voice.

"Oh? Really? Tell me about it." Other soldiers came forward and asked curiously.

"The tree grows in a ruin. Its branches are bent and tough. Although there are not many leaves, they are emerald green. It stands there alone, as if telling people the tenacity and indomitable nature of life." The soldier described the scene of the tree, and his eyes flashed with admiration.

Other soldiers listened to his description, as if they could also see the shadow of the tree. They felt an inexplicable touch in their hearts, as if they saw their own shadows on the tree.

"Life is really magical. Even in such a desolate place, it can bloom with such tenacious vitality. It's amazing." A soldier sighed.

"Yes, we should be like that tree. No matter what difficulties we encounter, we must persevere. Only in this way can the road extend under my feet." Another soldier echoed.

The fire of the bonfire jumped on the faces of the soldiers, and their eyes flashed with a firm light. They knew that the road ahead was still long, but as long as they had faith and courage in their hearts, they would be able to overcome all difficulties and usher in a better future.

The night gradually deepened, but the soldiers did not feel the slightest bit sleepy. They sat around the bonfire, enjoying this rare tranquility and warmth. On this ruin, they seemed to have found a new strength and courage, allowing them to bravely face the challenges and difficulties of the future.

"What will we encounter tomorrow?" A soldier asked in a low voice, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

"I don't know, but no matter what we encounter, we must face it bravely." Another soldier replied, revealing a firmness and courage in his voice.

Bai Ye sat by the bonfire, and he listened quietly to the conversation of the soldiers. He knew that the soldiers had fear and uneasiness in their hearts, but he also believed that as long as they united as one and faced difficulties together, they would be able to overcome everything.

He stood up and walked among the soldiers, his eyes sweeping across everyone's face.

"We came here not to escape, but to find new hope and future." Bai Ye's voice was firm and powerful. "Although this wasteland is desolate, as long as we have faith and courage in our hearts, we will be able to make it revitalized."

"And don't forget our purpose. We want to explore this world and can't let anything limit our steps."

"Good! Well said!"

The soldiers nodded one after another, with a firm light flashing in their eyes. They knew that no matter how many difficulties and obstacles there were ahead, as long as they followed Bai Ye's footsteps, strengthened their faith, and moved forward courageously, they would be able to find new hope and future.

In the light of the campfire, the soldiers' faces looked more resolute and brave. They sat together, sharing each other's stories and experiences, and also sharing their expectations and hopes for the future. On this wasteland, they seemed to have found a new strength and courage, allowing them to bravely face the challenges and difficulties of the future.
