Chapter 640

Under a sky dyed orange by the setting sun, Bai Ye drove a military jeep and led the team slowly into an unknown forest. The entrance to the forest is shrouded in a veil-like mist, as if it is a mysterious barrier specially set up by nature, attracting people's imagination. In the car, the soldiers were sitting or standing, their faces full of curiosity and vigilance about the place they were about to explore.

"Everyone, please note that we are about to enter a forest that has not been recorded in detail, and unknown dangers may be hidden in it." Bai Ye's voice was clearly and steadily conveyed to the ears of every soldier through the vehicle communicator. He held the steering wheel tightly and looked forward, with unquestionable determination in his eyes.

"Roger that, Bai Ye." The soldiers replied in unison, with excitement for the unknown challenge and trust in the team leader in their voices.

As the vehicle goes deeper, the surrounding scenery gradually becomes denser. Tall trees stand tall and straight, their branches and leaves intertwined into a huge green sky, blocking most of the light, making the forest dark and quiet. The air is filled with the fresh smell of soil, leaves and some unknown flowers, making people unconsciously take a deep breath, trying to imprint this natural gift deeply in their hearts.

"Stop the car, everyone get out of the car. Let's move forward on foot." Bai Ye suddenly ordered and parked the car in a relatively open space. He jumped out of the car and looked back at the soldiers, his eyes full of encouragement and expectation. "Remember to maintain formation, pay attention to your surroundings, and report any abnormalities immediately."

The soldiers quickly and orderly got out of the vehicle, organized their equipment, and then began to slowly march deeper into the forest according to Bai Ye's pre-arranged formation. Bai Ye walked at the front, holding a sharp saber in his hand. From time to time, he pushed aside the bushes and vines blocking the road to open a path for the team.

"Look, these vines are so strong. I have never seen such a strange plant." A soldier pointed to a vine on the roadside that was wrapped around a big tree and was almost as thick as an adult's arm.

"Indeed, the vegetation here is very different from the outside world, and it is worthy of study." Bai Ye stopped and observed the vine carefully. He saw that its surface was covered with fine scales, and its color gradually changed from emerald green to deep purple. Under the weak light, Shining with a strange luster. "Everyone pays attention to collecting samples, but be careful not to destroy too much to avoid affecting the ecological environment."

The soldiers took out their knives and glass bottles and began to carefully collect various plant samples. Some soldiers were responsible for cutting sections of the vines to observe their internal structures; others gently picked off the leaves and flowers, trying to keep them intact. Bai Ye guided them from the side, reminding them of safety and collection methods from time to time.

"Bai Ye, look at this fruit, its shape is so strange, as if it has been deliberately carved." A soldier walked up to Bai Ye holding a colorful and strange-shaped fruit, his face full of surprise.

Bai Ye took the fruit and looked at it carefully. He saw that its surface was covered with delicate lines, and its color gradually changed from golden to fiery red, just like a beautiful piece of art. "It is indeed rare, but we still have to be cautious and not try unknown foods easily." He said as he put the fruit into a special glass bottle and attached a label to record the location and time of collection.

As time went by, the soldiers had more and more glass bottles filled with various plant samples. While collecting, they exchanged their findings, and the atmosphere was both tense and full of fun. Bai Ye stopped from time to time and used his saber to carve marks on the tree trunks to ensure that the team would not get lost.

"Everyone, please pay attention. There seems to be an open space ahead. Let's go and take a rest." Bai Ye suddenly pointed forward and said. The soldiers perked up after hearing this and quickened their pace. Soon, they came to a clearing illuminated by the sun. The open space is covered with soft green grass, dotted with a few wild flowers, which makes it look particularly vibrant.

The soldiers found places to sit down. Some took out their water bottles to drink water, while others began to inspect and sort out the collected plant samples. Bai Ye stood in the middle of the clearing, looking around, his heart filled with awe and curiosity about this mysterious forest.

"The ecosystem here is so unique, maybe it hides many secrets that we haven't discovered yet." He said to himself, with the light of exploration shining in his eyes.

"Yes, Bai Ye, every leaf and flower here is like a puzzle carefully arranged by nature, waiting for us to solve." A soldier responded with a smile.

"You're right, we just want to be the ones to solve the puzzle." Bai Ye nodded with a smile, his heart full of expectations and confidence for the future. He knew that although this expedition was full of unknowns and challenges, it would also be an unforgettable experience in their careers.

In this mysterious forest, Bai Ye and his soldiers will continue to move forward, using their wisdom and courage to uncover more mysteries of nature. The plant samples that were carefully collected and put into glass bottles will become the most precious testimony and harvest during their exploration journey.

As the last rays of the setting sun gradually disappear on the horizon, night falls quietly in the forest. The surrounding light became soft and dim, and only the occasional chirping of insects and the cries of night birds in the distance broke the tranquility. Bai Ye and the soldiers sat around in the middle of the open space and lit a bonfire. The light of the fire danced and reflected on their resolute faces, adding a bit of warmth and tranquility.

"Everyone eat something and take a rest first. We will continue to explore in the evening." Bai Ye said as he took out dry food and water from his backpack and distributed them to the soldiers. The soldiers took the food. Although they were tired, their eyes sparkled with curiosity and desire for the unknown world.

Around the campfire, everyone ate and chatted, sharing what they had seen and heard during their adventures. Some people talked about those strange vines and plants, speculating on their ecological habits and potential value; some talked about their experience of almost getting lost, but finally found their way back through the wisdom of the team; others recalled the hardships they had gone through in military training , said with emotion: "Compared with here, those trainings are simply child's play."

Bai Ye listened quietly to the soldiers' conversation, feeling filled with relief and pride. He knew that this team not only had excellent military qualities, but also had the spirit of unity and courage to explore. It is this spirit that allows them to always remain calm and determined when facing unknowns and challenges.

"Everyone has said very well, but we must remember that the purpose of this expedition is not only to collect samples and understand the ecology, but more importantly, to learn how to coexist in harmony with nature and how to protect this precious natural resource." Bai Ye His words were full of a sense of responsibility and mission, "What we have to do is not just explorers, but also guardians."

The soldiers nodded in agreement upon hearing this. They knew that Bai Ye's words were not only expectations for them, but also a reminder of their responsibilities. In the next adventure, they will act more cautiously and cherish this mysterious forest even more.

As the night deepens, the light of the bonfire appears particularly bright in the darkness. Soldiers took turns on duty to ensure the safety of the camp. Bai Ye sat alone by the campfire, staring at the dancing flames, lost in thought. He recalled the experience of this day. From the moment they stepped into the forest, they continued to encounter challenges and surprises. This forest seems to be a huge treasure house, waiting for them to discover and dig.

Thinking of this, Bai Ye felt a strong sense of mission in his heart. He knew that this expedition was not just a simple task execution, but also a profound reflection and re-understanding of himself, the team, and nature. He believes that in the days to come, they will protect this beautiful homeland with a firmer pace, fuller enthusiasm, and more professional skills.

The night wind blew gently, bringing a chill. Bai Ye stood up, walked among the soldiers, and said softly: "Everyone, go to bed early. There will be more difficult tasks waiting for us tomorrow." The soldiers responded to the words and began to pack sleeping bags and equipment, preparing to go to bed.

As the last soldier fell asleep, the night in the forest became quiet again. Only the bonfire is still burning silently, emitting warm and bright light, as if guarding this mysterious land and this group of brave explorers.

Early the next morning, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated the treetops and shone into the forest, Baiye had already led the soldiers to start a new day of exploration. They followed the pre-planned route and discovered new plant species and ecological phenomena along the way.

In this mysterious forest, Bai Ye and his soldiers not only collected a large number of plant samples and ecological data, but also discovered many precious animal and plant resources. They carefully protect these precious natural treasures for fear of causing irreparable losses due to their own negligence. At the same time, they also deeply felt the magic and greatness of nature, and strengthened their determination and belief in protecting the ecological environment.

As the exploration progressed, Bai Ye and his soldiers gradually unveiled the mystery of this forest. They discovered that this place is not only a treasure house of rich biodiversity, but also a model of complex and stable ecosystems. In this forest, various organisms have formed a complex and sophisticated network of relationships, which together maintain the balance and stability of the entire ecosystem.

"This is simply a living ecological textbook!" A soldier exclaimed, "The theoretical knowledge we have learned before has been vividly verified and supplemented here."

"That's right," Bai Ye nodded in agreement, "and the ecological environment here has given us a lot of inspiration and thinking. For example, how to make better use of natural resources, how to reduce the negative impact of human activities on the ecological environment, etc. These are all It’s a topic we need to study and explore in depth in the future.”

As time passed, Bai Ye and his soldiers' adventure in the forest came to an end. They embarked on their return journey with full harvest and profound insights. Although their bodies were exhausted, their hearts were full of satisfaction and joy. Because they knew that this expedition not only allowed them to gain valuable scientific data and natural knowledge, but also gave them a deep understanding of the importance and urgency of protecting the ecological environment.

On the way back, Bai Ye and the soldiers reviewed the experiences and gains of the expedition from time to time.

As the afterglow of the setting sun gradually faded, a faint blue-purple appeared on the horizon, indicating that night was about to fall. Bai Ye and the soldiers embarked on their return journey with full harvest. Their backpacks are filled with various plant specimens, and each glass bottle carries the memories and discoveries of their adventures in the forest.

In order to ensure that these precious plant specimens can be returned to the base safely, Bai Ye specifically instructed the soldiers to handle them with care. Each glass bottle was carefully wrapped in soft cloth to prevent collision or breakage during the bumpy road. The soldiers also made a sturdy wooden box, neatly placed all the glass bottles in it, and firmly fixed them with ropes to ensure that nothing could go wrong.

As night fell, the light in the forest became dimmer. Bai Ye turned on the lights of the jeep to illuminate the road ahead. He drove the vehicle slowly on the rugged trail. The soldiers sat in the car, holding their equipment tightly and maintaining a high level of vigilance. Although their bodies were exhausted from the long expedition, their hearts were full of expectations for the return journey and longing for the future.

As the vehicle gradually drove away from the forest, the surrounding scenery began to change. The originally dense trees were gradually replaced by sparse bushes, and the horizon in the distance began to become clear. Bai Ye knew that they were approaching the area of ​​human activities, which also meant that they were about to return to the familiar yet unfamiliar building in the ruins.

The building in the ruins was once a symbol of the city's prosperity, but now only broken walls and weeds remain. However, in the eyes of Bai Ye and his soldiers, this building carries too many memories and dreams for them. It is not only their temporary base, but also the starting point for them to explore the unknown and protect their homes.

As the jeep slowly drove into the ruins, the soldiers leaned out and looked at the familiar building. Their eyes were filled with nostalgia for the past and expectations for the future. Bai Ye drove the vehicle steadily and drove along a familiar path to the entrance of the building.

As the vehicle stopped, the soldiers quickly got off the car and began to carry the wooden box full of plant specimens. They carefully carried the wooden box, walked through the weed-covered open space, and walked towards the entrance of the building. Although the journey was not far, every step seemed so heavy and solemn.

After entering the building, the soldiers quickly placed the wooden box in a dry and ventilated room. This room was originally the meeting room of the building, but now it has been transformed into their laboratory and specimen storage room. Bai Ye personally opened the wooden box and checked the plant specimens in each glass bottle. He carefully observed their shape, color and preservation condition to ensure that they were not damaged during transportation.

"It seems that our efforts have not been in vain," Bai Ye nodded with satisfaction, "these specimens are very intact, and we can start the next step of research."
