Chapter 561: Rats

White Night led the soldiers slowly towards the carcasses of the wild dogs, each step stepping on the scorched earth, making a dull echo. The air was filled with a rancid smell, mixed with the burnt smell left behind by incineration, which was disgusting. However, Bai Ye didn't seem to care about this, his eyes were firm and deep, as if he was peering through this ruin, looking deeper into the world.

The soldiers followed him, some frowning, some pale, but without exception, their eyes were focused on the rotting wild dogs. These once-ferocious beasts were now lying on the ground, motionless, covered in scars and signs of decay.

"It's terrible, these wild dogs must have been extremely ferocious when they died." One soldier couldn't help but speak, a tremor in his voice.

"yes, but now they're just a pile of carrion." Another soldier spoke, a hint of disdain in his tone.

White Night stopped and stared down at a particularly large wild dog carcass. Most of its fur had fallen off, revealing the bloody skin underneath, and its eyes were hollow open, as if they were still telling of the fear and despair of life.

"They were also the life of this land, but they were forced to look like this by circumstances and fate." Bai Ye said lightly, his voice revealing a deep sympathy and helplessness.

When the soldiers heard this, they fell silent. They began to revisit the carcasses of these wild dogs, as if trying to find more stories and revelations from them.

White Night reached out and gently touched a wound on the dingo's carcass. His fingers were cold and firm, as if they could penetrate the corpse and touch its soul.

"Look at their wounds, some of them have been bitten by their own kind, some have been scratched by sharp objects. They struggle to survive in this wasteland, but in the end, they cannot escape their fate. Bai Ye's voice was low and powerful, and every word seemed to hit the hearts of the soldiers.

The soldiers nodded their heads, their eyes flashing with mixed emotions. They begin to understand that these wild dogs are not mere enemies or monsters, they are also victims of this wasteland, beings who have been pushed to the brink by fate and circumstances.

White Night stood up and swept his gaze over the place littered with wild dog carcasses. An inexplicable emotion surged in his heart, both awe of life and helplessness for this wasteland.

"Let's move on." He said, a firmness and determination in his voice.

The soldiers followed the White Night and continued their journey through the wasteland. Their steps were heavy, but their eyes were firm and bright. They know that in this land full of unknowns and dangers, only by uniting together can they overcome all difficulties and find hope for survival.

As they went deeper, the scene on the wasteland became more and more desolate. Everywhere there are dilapidated buildings and withered vegetation, as if the land has lost all its life and vitality. However, Bai Ye and the soldiers did not flinch or fear in the slightest. They know that only by bravely facing this wasteland can they find their own path and future.

As night fell, the wind began to howl in the wasteland. The soldiers sat around a campfire, and Bai Ye stood alone, looking into the distance. His figure seemed lonely and determined in the firelight, as if it were a light in this desolate world.

"General, aren't you going to take a break?" One soldier couldn't help but ask.

Bai Ye glanced back at him and smiled slightly: "I'm not tired, you guys should rest first." ”

Seeing this, the soldiers did not say anything more, and lay down to rest. They know that Bai Ye is a strong and brave man, who thinks deeper and has stronger beliefs than they do.

As the night wore on, the wind grew colder in the wasteland. White Night still stood by the campfire, his eyes deep and bright, as if he was gazing at the past and future of this wasteland.

He knew that this land, though desolate and cruel, was also pregnant with life and hope. As long as they don't give up and don't stop, they will definitely find their own tomorrow.

In this way, White Night led the soldiers on this wasteland. Although their steps are heavy, their hearts are full of hope and faith. They know that as long as they work together, they can overcome all difficulties and meet the challenges of the future.

Time seemed to stand still in this wasteland, and the journey of the White Night and the soldiers seemed to never end. However, they did not feel tired and hopeless because of this. On the contrary, their hearts are full of determination and courage, because they know that only by moving forward can they find their own home and future.

In this desolate wasteland, the figures of the white night and the soldiers are getting farther and farther away, but their faith and courage remain on the land forever. Their stories will inspire those who come after them to believe that in this land full of unknowns and dangers, as long as you have faith in your heart, you can find your own path and future.

White Night led the soldiers forward for another distance, and the wasteland beneath his feet seemed to become heavier, and each step felt like stepping on a muddy swamp. The silence around was broken by the whistling of the wind, and an indescribable sense of oppression permeated the air.

Suddenly, a commotion came from the field, and the nerves of the soldiers immediately tensed. They clenched their weapons in their hands, and their eyes scanned around warily. Bai Ye also stopped, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes, as if he could see through the darkness and see everything clearly.

Just then, a large number of rotting radiation rats rushed out of the field. Their bodies twist and deform, and their fur falls off, revealing the rotting muscles and bones underneath. Their eyes were red and glowed with an eerie glow, as if they were monstrous beings eroded by radiation.

Radiant rats, in this cursed wasteland, are no longer the small, agile rodents that people remember. After countless years of radiation erosion and genetic mutations, they have evolved into disgusting monsters, each one like a demon crawling out of hell.

These radiation rats are unusually large, several times larger than ordinary rats, almost on a par with domestic cats. Their bodies are distorted and deformed, no longer streamlined and graceful, but bloated and misshapen, and their skin takes on a sickly sheen of grayish-brown, covered with large and small tumors and ulcers, and flowing with yellow pus. The pus mixed with the radioactive material on their bodies, emitting a suffocating stench that would make any creature shy away.

The head of the radiated rat is unusually large, taking up almost a third of their entire body. Their eyes turned red, like two flaming fireballs, glowing eerily in the darkness. Rather than being simple visual organs, these eyes are more like radiation sensors of sorts, capable of picking up subtle radiation fluctuations in their surroundings. Their ears have also become incredibly sensitive, being able to pick up any subtle sounds in the distance, giving them a head start on predation and evasion from predators.

Their mouths are open nightmares, and their teeth are as sharp as steel knives, capable of easily biting through the flesh of any living being. Their saliva is a mixture of strong radioactive substances and corrosive liquids, which, once on the skin, can cause severe burns and radiation sickness immediately. These radiation rats also have unusually sharp and strong claws, and are able to easily dig through hard soil and rocks in search of food and habitat.

The way these radiation rats move has also become extremely strange and swift. Instead of running on the ground like normal rats, they are able to weave through the wasteland in an almost gliding fashion, their bodies as if they are at one with the land, and they are able to reach any destination in the shortest possible time.

What's even more terrifying is that these radiation rats also seem to possess a certain level of intelligence and teamwork. Instead of being a solo predator, they are able to work together in a tacit way, attacking prey or evading predators. When they appeared in droves, it was like a demon army in hell, and it was terrifying.

In the wasteland, these radiation rats are the absolute overlords. Not only do they prey on other creatures, but they also don't spare dead creatures, gnawing corpses beyond recognition with their razor-sharp teeth and corrosive saliva. Their presence makes this wasteland even more desolate and terrifying.

The rad rats rushed frantically towards the soldiers, opening their mouths to show their sharp teeth and biting down on their bodies. The soldiers screamed in terror and brandished their weapons in their hands in an attempt to drive the disgusting creatures away.

However, there were so many of them that they swarmed the soldiers' defenses like a tidal wave. The soldiers' weapons, though powerful, were also powerless under such a dense attack.

Seeing this, Bai Ye immediately pulled out the long sword in his hand, and rushed into the rat group in a flash. His swordsmanship was sharp and swift, slicing the bodies of several radiation rats with each swing. However, the rats seemed endless, and every time he cut off a batch, more rats would emerge from the darkness.

Seeing this, the soldiers also followed the example of the white night and rushed into the crowd of rats to engage in a fierce battle with these disgusting creatures. For a time, the battlefield was filled with the shouts of soldiers and the screams of radiation rats, and the scene was extremely tragic.

White Night shuttled among the rats, his eyes firm and cold, and every swing of his sword showed no mercy. He knew that these rad rats were disgusting and terrifying, but if they wanted to survive in this wasteland, they had to face such a challenge.

After a fierce battle, the soldiers finally eliminated all the radiation rats. However, the tragic situation on the battlefield is shocking. The soldiers were covered in rat blood and carrion, and a disgusting smell permeated the air.

White Night stood in the middle of the battlefield, his face devoid of any expression. He looked at this wasteland full of blood and death, and an inexplicable emotion welled up in his heart. He knew that this was just one of the challenges they would face in this wasteland, and that there were many more difficulties and dangers ahead of them.

However, Bai Ye did not flinch or fear in the slightest. He turned to face the soldiers, his eyes shining with determination and courage.

"Keep going." He said, a voice that revealed an unmistakable determination.

When the soldiers heard this, they all nodded. They know that only by moving forward can they find their own future and hope. They followed closely behind White Night, continuing their journey through this wasteland full of unknowns and dangers.

As they went deeper, the scene on the wasteland became more and more desolate.

In this desolate wasteland, endless desolation and dead silence enveloped every inch of the land. The sky took on a lead-gray gloom, as if it were shrouded in thick clouds, and the sunlight could not penetrate it, making the whole world look dull. Occasionally, a ray or two of sunlight shone through a gap in the clouds, but it only added a bit of bleakness and gloom to the wasteland.

In the wasteland, the buildings of the city have become dilapidated. The walls of the high-rise buildings cracked and peeled off, revealing the rusty steel skeletons inside, like the remains of giant beasts, quietly telling the glory of the past and the decay of the present. The streets are littered with broken cars and dumped garbage, as if they were relics left behind after a catastrophe. The road was long since smooth, potholed, cracked and gravel, and every step on it seemed extremely difficult.

The vegetation in the wasteland is sparse and withered. The trees that were once lush are now bare branches, swaying their yellow leaves in the wind, as if they were making a final struggle. On the ground, you can occasionally see some tenacious weeds, which are tenaciously rooted in the cracks, and although the leaves are yellow, they still strive to grow upward, showing the tenacity and indomitability of life.

There was an indescribable dullness and depression in the air. The wind from the wasteland, with the smell of sand and radiation, blows on the face, making people feel a tingling. The air here is dry and muddy, and you can feel the deep dreary and heaviness you breathe. When the wind rises, sand and dust wreak havoc in the air, shrouding the world in a cloud of gray that makes it difficult to see the road ahead.

In this wasteland, time seems to have lost its meaning. The alternation of day and night, the change of seasons, has left a deep imprint on this desolate land. When night came, the darkness of the wasteland grew deeper and heavier, as if it were about to swallow it all. The moonlight sprinkled on the dilapidated buildings, casting mottled shadows, adding a bit of gloom and horror.

In this desolate wasteland, life seems to have become extraordinarily precious and fragile. Aside from those tenacious weeds and radiation rats, it's almost impossible to see any other creatures. It has become an abandoned world, a place of death and despair.

However, in this seemingly lifeless wasteland, there are still some tenacious beings struggling. They may be humans, they may be other creatures, but whatever they are, they have left their mark on this desolate land.
