c759 Mist

Bai Ye blinked hard, and the scene in front of him gradually became clearer. He found himself lying on an unfamiliar land, surrounded by barren grass and scattered gravel. The familiar voice just now was now being uttered by a demon wearing a black robe and a ferocious face. The demon’s eyes were like burning flames, a strange smile hung on the corner of his mouth, and he held a sharp blade that shone with cold light in his hand.

“You’re finally awake, Bai Ye.” The devil’s voice was low and magnetic, but with an undoubted threat. “Your soldiers have already gone to another world before you.”

When Bai Ye heard this, a strong anger and unwillingness surged in his heart. He struggled to stand up, but found that his limbs were weak, as if bound by invisible chains. He glared at the demon and said through gritted teeth: “You bastard! What did you do to my soldiers?”

The devil chuckled, as if Bai Ye’s anger was just a boring farce in his eyes. “Them? Oh, those poor guys are just the victims of my experiment. However, you seem to have more potential than them. Maybe, I can get more interesting things from you.”

When Bai Ye heard this, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes. He knew that he was in a desperate situation at this moment, but even so, he would never give up easily. He took a deep breath and tried to gather all the strength in his body, trying to break free from the demon’s shackles.

At this moment, a faint sound of wind suddenly came. Bai Ye’s heart moved, and he realized that this was the code that the soldiers had taught him, which meant that danger was approaching. He raised his head suddenly and saw a huge green demon slowly descending from the sky. Its eyes were like two bright gems, its body was covered with thick scales, and it exuded a suffocating stench.

“It seems that you still have companions.” The black-robed demon sneered. With a slight wave of the sharp blade in his hand, a ray of cold light flew towards the green demon. However, the green demon seemed to be prepared for it. It ducked sideways and easily dodged the blow.

Seeing this, Bai Ye felt a surge of hope in his heart. He understood that this was their only chance to escape from here and kill the demon. He took a deep breath and shouted with all his strength: “Soldiers! Attack!”

However, all he received in response was dead silence. Bai Ye’s heart sank, and he realized that those soldiers who had fought alongside him might have left this world forever. But even so, he couldn’t give up. He gritted his teeth, struggled to stand up, and rushed towards the green demon.

When the green demon saw this, a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes. It opened its huge mouth and spit out a ball of green flames, attacking Bai Ye. Bai Ye nimbly dodged the blow, then took the opportunity to rush to the demon and punched its scales with all his strength.

However, the punch didn’t seem to cause much damage to the demon. It just shook its body slightly, and then continued to attack Bai Ye. Bai Ye knew that he couldn’t fight head-on. He flexibly avoided the demon’s attacks while looking for opportunities to counterattack.

At this moment, the black-robed demon suddenly joined the battle. The sharp blade in his hand was swung like lightning, attacking Bai Ye and the Green Demon at the same time. Bai Ye had to be distracted to deal with the attack of the black-robed demon, which put him in a more dangerous situation.

However, at this moment of life and death, Bai Ye suddenly remembered the tactics the soldiers had taught him. He quickly adjusted his fighting style and began to use the terrain and environment to dodge and counterattack. He nimbly shuttled between rocks and grass, taking advantage of the gaps between the black-robed demon and the green demon to attack.

After a fierce battle, Bai Ye finally found an opportunity. He rushed towards the green demon and struck it in the vital part with all his strength. The green demon let out a scream and then fell to the ground motionless.

When the black-robed demon saw this, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes. He realized that he might not be Bai Ye’s opponent, so he turned around and tried to escape. However, Bai Ye had already caught up with him. He grabbed the black-robed demon by the collar and threw him to the ground.

“You can’t escape!” Bai Ye roared angrily. He stepped hard on the black-robed demon’s chest, trying to subdue him. However, the black-robed demon suddenly let out a weird laugh, and then his body began to gradually dissipate.

“Do you think you can really defeat me?” the black-robed demon’s voice echoed in the air, “I am just a phantom formed by the fear and despair in your heart. As long as these emotions exist in your heart, I will never will disappear.”

When Bai Ye heard this, he felt a strong shock in his heart. He realized that he had been battling inner fear and despair. And this black-robed demon was the entity transformed from the deepest fear and despair in his heart.

At this moment, heavy snow suddenly fell in the sky. Snowflakes were falling, covering the whole world in pure white. Bai Ye looked up at the sky, feeling an inexplicable emotion in his heart. He realized that this snow might be their only chance to escape and find a new life.

He quickly turned around and looked around, looking for materials that could be used to build a tent. After some hard work, he finally found some branches and leaves and began to build the tent. Although the soldiers are no longer here, their skills and experience will always remain in Bai Ye’s heart. With these skills and experience, he successfully built a simple tent.

Then, he went into the tent and started to make a fire to keep warm. He used the torch in his hand to light a pile of hay, and then carefully guarded the weak flame. He knew that this flame not only represented warmth and hope, but also represented their determination and courage to fight against fear and despair.

The snow fell heavier and heavier, and the world outside the tent was completely shrouded in white. Bai Ye sat in the tent, listening to the sound of snowflakes falling outside, and an inexplicable calm surged in his heart. He realized that although they had experienced countless hardships and pains, as long as there was hope and courage in their hearts, they would never be defeated.

He closed his eyes and began to pray silently. He prayed to find a safe place to start a new life again. He prayed to find more companions and friends to fight side by side with them and face future challenges together.

At this moment, a faint voice suddenly came. Bai Ye’s heart moved, and he realized that this might be the voice of other survivors. He quickly got out of the tent and looked in the direction of the sound. I saw a vague figure struggling hard in the snow not far away.

Bai Ye was delighted, and he hurried over to help the man up. When he saw the man’s face clearly, he was surprised to find that this was actually one of his former comrades!

“Why are you here?” Bai Ye asked in surprise.

The comrade smiled bitterly and said, “I escaped. But I didn’t expect it to be so cold here. I’m almost freezing to death.”

Bai Ye heard this, and a strong sense of sympathy and respect surged in his heart. He knew that it was very difficult for this comrade to escape. He hurriedly helped his comrade into the tent and let him sit by the fire to keep warm.

The comrade looked at Bai Ye gratefully and said, “Thank you for saving me. I don’t know how to repay you.”

Bai Ye smiled and shook his head and said, “You’re welcome. We are all comrades, and we should help each other.”

The two sat by the fire and began to talk about their experiences. They shared each other’s joys, sorrows, and exchanges of combat experience and skills. On this cold snowy night, their hearts became warm because of each other’s company.

As time went on, more and more survivors found their tents. Some of them were scientists and engineers who escaped from other laboratories; some were orphans and refugees wandering in the wilderness. Although they came from different places, had different backgrounds and experiences, they were no longer lonely because of their encounter on this cold snowy night. At this moment, a sudden noise came from a distance, breaking the dead silence in the snow. The sound was like the roar of some large beast, and it was like countless tiny footsteps approaching quickly. Bai Ye’s heart was alarmed, he stood up quickly, and scanned the surroundings with a sharp gaze. The soldiers also put down their dry food, held their weapons tightly, and looked nervous.

“Bai Ye, what… what is that sound?” A soldier’s voice trembled slightly, obviously frightened by the sudden sound.

Bai Ye did not answer, but frowned, looking through the flying snowflakes, trying to catch a clue in the haze. At this moment, a mist suddenly blew over, with a biting cold, as if it could freeze a person’s soul. The soldiers shivered involuntarily and huddled together, trying to use each other’s body temperature to resist the sudden cold.

However, the fog was like the scythe of the god of death, ruthlessly harvesting lives. Those soldiers who had just stood beside Bai Ye were swallowed by the fog in an instant, their bodies quickly stiffened, and their faces were full of fear and unwillingness. Bai Ye witnessed all this with his own eyes, and an unprecedented anger and powerlessness surged in his heart.

“No! This is impossible!” Bai Ye roared and tried to rush forward, but the fog was like an invisible barrier, blocking him firmly outside. He could only watch his companions fall one by one and turn into cold sculptures.

When the fog finally dissipated, Bai Ye was left standing alone in the snow. His clothes were covered with frost, and his hair was full of ice crystals, but his eyes were unusually firm. He slowly walked to the dead soldiers and began to dig graves for them silently.

“Rest in peace, brothers. I will avenge you.” Bai Ye whispered, his voice full of determination and sadness. As he dug, he recalled the time he spent with these soldiers, the laughter, the sweat, the days of fighting side by side… Now, they have all turned into cold memories.

Finally, Bai Ye buried every soldier. He stood in front of the grave, prayed for them silently, and then began to deal with his own affairs. He took out dry food from his backpack, sat on the snow, and ate it in big mouthfuls. Although the food was cold, his heart was full of heat, which was hatred for the enemy and the desire for his own survival.

“Bai Ye…” A faint voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Bai Ye’s thoughts. He raised his head suddenly and looked around, but he only saw a vast expanse of white snow. Where was there any figure?

“Who? Who is calling me?” Bai Ye asked vigilantly, while tightening his weapon in his hand.

“It’s me… I’m in your heart.” The voice sounded again, this time clearer. Bai Ye was stunned for a moment, then realized that this was the voice in his heart, and it was his persistence in survival that was motivating him.

“I won’t give up! No matter what difficulties I encounter, I will survive!” Bai Ye whispered to himself, as if he was making a promise to that voice.

Just then, a gust of wind blew, rolling up the snow on the ground. Bai Ye narrowed his eyes and saw something seemed to be wriggling in the snow. He stood up suddenly, holding his weapon tightly, ready to meet the new challenge.

When the snow dissipated, Bai Ye saw a huge green demon standing not far away and staring at him. This demon was different from the one he killed before. It exuded a stronger stench, and its eyes were full of greed and desire to kill.

“Humph, it’s you again, disgusting thing! Come on! I won’t let you escape this time!” Bai Ye roared and rushed towards the green demon.

The green demon let out a deafening roar, opened his bloody mouth, and pounced on Bai Ye. Bai Ye dodged flexibly, while waving the weapon in his hand and slashed the demon’s body fiercely. The demon screamed in pain, but then attacked Bai Ye more frantically.

Bai Ye and the demon started a fierce battle. Their figures shuttled back and forth in the snow, and every confrontation was accompanied by deafening noises and flying snowflakes. Although Bai Ye was seriously injured, his eyes became more and more determined, and his movements became more and more swift.

Finally, in a fierce confrontation, Bai Ye found the flaw of the demon. He jumped up suddenly, and the weapon in his hand flashed with cold light, piercing the heart of the demon. The demon let out a shrill scream, and then fell to the ground powerlessly.

Bai Ye looked at the demon lying on the ground, and an unprecedented sense of satisfaction surged in his heart. He finally avenged those dead soldiers and won a chance to survive for himself.

However, at this moment, heavy snow suddenly fell from the sky. Snowflakes fell one after another, covering the whole world in white. Bai Ye looked at the flying snowflakes, but his heart was full of loneliness and confusion.

“Next… what should I do?” Bai Ye whispered to himself, his voice full of helplessness and hesitation.

He slowly walked to the graves of those soldiers and prayed for them silently. Then, he began to set up the tent, preparing to spend the night in this cold snowy night.

The tent was quickly set up. Bai Ye went in and lit the fire. The flames jumped, emitting warm light, dispelling the cold in the tent. Bai Ye sat by the fire, watching the jumping flames, but his mind was full of thoughts.

“Is this battle…really over?” Bai Ye asked in a low voice, as if seeking the answer from himself.
