A Journey of American Comics Starting from the Zombie Universe

Chapter 534 Rest Time

After the supplies were moved away, the deserted square seemed unusually quiet. Only the occasional wind blew up the dust on the ground and danced silently in the air. The floor tiles in the square have been left with marks of varying shades due to being pressed down by heavy objects for a long time, as if to tell the story of the busyness and hustle and bustle that just happened.

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps in the distance broke the tranquility. A group of soldiers walked in uniform, their steps were firm and powerful, like well-trained machines, and every step fell to the same rhythm. Their military boots hit the ground, making a dull and powerful echo that echoed over the empty square.

The figures of the soldiers gradually became clearer. They were dressed in uniform military uniforms with dark colors that complemented the gray sky. There was no unnecessary expression on their faces, only seriousness and concentration, as if they were carrying out a solemn and sacred task.

As the soldiers arrived, the atmosphere in the square became tense. The soldiers began to line up here. Their movements were quick and orderly. Everyone knew their position without any hesitation or confusion.

"First row, turn to the left - align!" an officer's voice sounded in the team, loud and powerful, with unquestionable majesty.

The soldiers quickly adjusted their positions until each row was aligned, as if in a straight line. The air in the square seemed to be frozen by this serious atmosphere, with only the slight breathing of the soldiers and the occasional command.

Bai Ye stood aside and watched all this quietly. His eyes were deep and calm, as if he could penetrate the surface calm and see something deeper. There was no expression on his face, he just stood quietly, like a bystander and a waiter.

The formation process of the soldiers lasted for a long time, but Bai Ye didn't seem to feel any impatience. He just watched quietly, as if he was thinking about something, and as if he was just enjoying this moment of tranquility.

Finally, the formation of the soldiers was completed. They stood upright, like sculptures, standing quietly in the square. The officer walked up to the team, nodded with satisfaction, and then said loudly: "Very good, now stay in this position and wait for the next order."

The soldiers didn't respond. They just stood silently, as if they had become part of the square. Bai Ye also continued to watch. His eyes seemed to reveal an indescribable emotion, but it was deeply hidden.

The wind blew again, bringing with it a slight smell of dust in the distance. The soldiers in the square were motionless, as if they were integrated with the wind, the dust, and the square. Bai Ye seems to have become a part of this picture. His existence seems to be closely related to everything, but he maintains a subtle distance.

Time seemed to slow down at this moment, and everything in the square became so clear and real. The soldiers' uniforms, Bai Ye's eyes, and even the smell of dust in the air were all captured by this still time and frozen at this moment.

However, this stillness did not last long. Suddenly there was a noise in the distance, breaking the peace. Bai Ye frowned slightly, seeming a little displeased with the sudden sound. He turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound, his eyes revealing a complex emotion.

The soldiers seemed to be aware of this unusual movement. Although there was no obvious expression change on their faces, there was a trace of vigilance in their eyes. The officer responded quickly. He raised his hand and made a gesture to signal the soldiers to be alert.

The noise in the square grew closer and closer, and the atmosphere in the square became increasingly tense. Bai Ye stood quietly, not making any movement, but his eyes were fixed on the direction of the sound, as if looking for something.

Finally, a group of figures appeared at the entrance of the square. They looked like soldiers too, but their attire and the formation of soldiers were different. Their arrival made the already tense atmosphere even more tense.

The officer quickly walked forward and talked with the new group of soldiers. Although their voices were not loud, they were very clear in the empty square. Bai Ye listened to their conversation quietly, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

After the conversation ended, the officer returned to the team with a complicated expression on his face. He looked at the soldiers in front of him, then at the white night in the distance, and then said loudly: "Get ready for the new mission!"

The soldiers did not hesitate. They acted quickly and began to organize their equipment and formation. Bai Ye also retracted his thoughts. He watched everything quietly, as if he was ready to face the unknown.

With the arrival of new tasks, the atmosphere in the square changed again. Although the soldiers' faces were still expressionless, their eyes revealed a kind of firmness and determination. Bai Ye also seemed to feel this change, and his eyes revealed a deeper emotion.

The soldiers in the square began to move, their steps still firm and powerful, but with an added sense of urgency. Bai Ye also followed closely behind, his figure shuttled among the soldiers, as if he had become a part of the team.

With their departure, the square returned to calm again. But the calm this time was different from the silence before. It seems to carry a kind of expectation and unknown, waiting for the next noise and change. And Bai Ye continued his journey, carrying that deep emotion towards the unknown distance.

"Now, let's start fighting training in groups!"

The atmosphere in the square instantly became tense following Bai Ye's order. The soldiers' originally neatly arranged formation began to loosen, but their movements still maintained the rigor and speed of soldiers.

"You are divided into two groups for confrontation training." Bai Ye's voice was low, but full of unquestionable majesty. He stood in the corner of the square, his hands behind his back, his eyes burning like a torch, scanning the faces of every soldier.

The soldiers acted quickly and divided into two groups as instructed, each group maintaining a strict formation. There was excitement and anticipation in their eyes, as if they couldn't wait to start this training.

"The first group is the attacker; the second group is the defender. Start preparing!" Bai Ye gave the order again.

The soldiers quickly adjusted their status. The soldiers on the attacking side clenched the wooden sticks in their hands and were ready to charge; the soldiers on the defending side put on a defensive posture, preparing to face the upcoming attack.

"Start!" Following Bai Ye's order, the soldiers from the attacking side rushed toward the defending side like arrows from the string. Their movements were fast and powerful, and every swing carried the sound of wind, as if the air was to be torn apart.

The soldiers on the defensive side were not to be outdone. They flexibly avoided attacks and looked for opportunities to counterattack. The sound of wooden sticks intersecting echoed in the square, accompanied by the heavy breathing and footsteps of the soldiers, creating a tense and intense scene.

Bai Ye watched the training quietly, his eyes revealing a depth and calmness. He did not issue any instructions or comments, but silently observed the soldiers' performance.

As time went by, the training gradually entered a white-hot stage. The soldiers on the attacking side became more and more courageous as they fought, and their offensive became more and more fierce; while the soldiers on the defending side began to seem a little powerless, and their defense gradually showed flaws.
