A Journey of American Comics Starting from the Zombie Universe

Deep in this forgotten grassland garden, Bai Ye led the team, taking gentle but firm steps, and continued to explore this unknown and wonderful area. The sunlight seemed to be gently stretched by some mysterious force and sprinkled on this land, forming a strange white night scene, which was neither bright during the day nor dark at night, but a kind of trance-inducing brilliance in between.

As they went deeper, the surrounding scenery seemed more and more unreal. Colorful flowers bloomed one after another, but they seemed to follow some unknown rules, interweaving into a series of bizarre pictures. The air was filled with a fresh scent mixed with the fragrance of flowers and grass, and occasionally a subtle kiwi fragrance could be caught, tempting people to explore more unknown corners.

In this atmosphere of tranquility and fantasy, the soldiers' sight was suddenly attracted by a scene in front of them - a towering tree stood in the grassland, more than ten meters high, as if it was a guardian specially established by nature for this garden, solemn and sacred. The trunk of this tree is so thick that it takes several people to hug it. The surface is covered with mottled marks left by the years, recording the countless wind, frost, rain and snow it has witnessed. The lush branches and leaves cover the sky and form a natural shade. Occasionally, a few mottled light and shadows can be seen among the green leaves, adding a bit of mystery and tranquility.

The soldiers stopped one after another, exclaiming in amazement. Some of them stared at the giant tree with eyes wide open, in disbelief, as if they had never seen such a magnificent sight before; some whispered, trying to find the origin and meaning of the tree from ancient legends or their own imaginations; some even took a few steps forward involuntarily, wanting to touch the rough bark with their own hands and feel the vicissitudes and power from ancient times.

However, in addition to this amazement, an inexplicable chill quietly spread in the hearts of the soldiers. Although the tree is beautiful, it is so beautiful that it makes people feel awe, as if it is not just a tree, but a symbol of secrets and dangers hidden in this grassland garden. Bai Ye stood at the front of the team, gazing at the tree with deep eyes, and his heart was also surging with complex emotions. He knew that the purpose of this expedition was not only to find the legendary treasure or solve an ancient mystery, but more importantly to face the unknown, challenge oneself, and protect the soldiers behind him who also had courage and dreams.

"Everyone be careful," Bai Ye's voice was low and powerful, interrupting the soldiers' discussion. "Although this tree is magnificent, it may also hide unpredictable dangers. We must remain vigilant and continue to move forward, but remember not to act rashly."

Upon hearing this, the soldiers quickly adjusted their status, rearranged themselves into a defensive formation, surrounded Bai Ye, and moved forward cautiously. Every step they took seemed so cautious, as if in this fantastic grassland, every step might lead to an unknown abyss.

As they gradually approached the tree, a stronger smell came to their faces. It was a unique smell of soil, leaves and some unknown plants, fresh but with a hint of decay and decay. The soldiers' breathing became rapid, and their eyes showed both curiosity and fear, but more of it was determination and persistence in the face of unknown challenges.

At this moment, a breeze blew, and the leaves rustled, as if whispering some ancient secret. Bai Ye and the soldiers looked at the top of the tree at the same time. There seemed to be something trembling slightly, but it was difficult to see clearly because of the distance. They looked at each other and understood in their hearts that this adventure had just begun, and what awaited them ahead would be even more difficult and unknown challenges...

Bai Ye slowly raised a hand, signaling the soldiers to stop. His eyes were fixed on the top of the tree, where the breeze seemed to blow more gently, causing the leaves to dance, as if tempting them to explore deeper. But Bai Ye knew that in this strange place, any slight negligence could bring unpredictable consequences.

"We have to be careful." Bai Ye's voice was low and firm, and every word was clearly heard by the soldiers. He looked around and saw that the soldiers' faces were both nervous and expectant. This complex emotion made him feel an inexplicable sense of responsibility. "Keep the formation, we will approach slowly."

Upon hearing this, the soldiers immediately adjusted their formation, maintained a high level of alert, and slowly approached the tree. Their footsteps were light and powerful, and every step they took was on the grass, but it seemed as if they were stepping on the edge of an unknown abyss. The strange smell in the air became more and more intense, making people's nerves tense to the extreme.

As the distance shortened, Bai Ye finally saw the object on the top of the tree. It was a strange, glimmering leaf. It was different from the others, wider and greener than the surrounding leaves, as if it contained infinite vitality. And underneath the leaf, there seemed to be a tiny hole hidden, surrounded by complex circles of patterns, like an ancient totem, emitting a faint fluorescence.

"What is this?" a soldier couldn't help but ask in a low voice, his voice full of confusion and curiosity.

Bai Ye did not answer, but stared at the hole with a frown on his face. He had an inexplicable premonition that the biggest secret of the grassland garden might be hidden behind the hole. But at the same time, he also knew that this secret might be accompanied by great danger.

"We have to go in and take a look." Bai Ye finally made a decision. He knew that as a leader, he had to take on this responsibility, no matter what was waiting for them ahead.

The soldiers heard this, although they were a little nervous, but they nodded firmly. They knew that Bai Ye's decisions were never rash, and he always showed extraordinary courage and wisdom at critical moments.

Bai Ye took out a thin rope from his waist, which he had prepared specially for this expedition. He tied one end of the rope firmly to a thick branch, and then climbed up the tree carefully. The soldiers stayed under the tree, watching the surroundings vigilantly to prevent any accidents.

Bai Ye's hands and feet were nimble and powerful, and he quickly climbed to the top of the tree and came under the strange leaf. He carefully observed the hole and found that the patterns around the hole seemed to echo some patterns in the grassland garden, which strengthened his determination to explore further.

He took a deep breath, then slowly stretched out his hand and gently touched the leaf. The leaf trembled slightly, as if responding to his touch. Then, he carefully reached into the hole.

The inside of the cave was pitch black, and nothing could be seen. But Bai Ye relied on his keen intuition and years of combat experience to slowly grope forward. He felt a weak air current blowing from deep inside the cave, bringing an indescribable chill.

Suddenly, he felt the ground beneath his feet begin to shake, and then a powerful force came from the depths of the cave, pulling him in. He screamed, but it was too late, his body had lost control and was swept into the darkness by that force.

The soldiers cried out in surprise when they saw this. They wanted to rush up to save Bai Ye, but the rope was too long to reach the top of the tree. They could only wait anxiously and pray that Bai Ye would return safely.

Bai Ye, at the moment he was drawn into the cave, felt a black screen before his eyes, and then a dizzy feeling as if the world was spinning around him. He held the rope tightly in his hand, fearing that he would lose his way in the darkness. But the force was too strong, and he could not resist it at all.

After an unknown amount of time, when Bai Ye opened his eyes again, he found himself in a completely different world. This was a dark underground space, surrounded by intricate stalagmites and stone curtains, like a huge maze. The rope in his hand had broken and scattered on the ground.

He struggled to stand up and looked around, trying to find an exit. But there was nothing around except dim light and cold stone walls. He felt an unprecedented sense of despair and loneliness surge in his heart.

But Bai Ye knew that he couldn't just give up. He still had soldiers waiting for him to return, and he still had unfinished missions and responsibilities. He took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and then began to look for a way out.

He walked slowly along the stone wall, using the weapon in his hand to push away the stalagmites and stone curtains that blocked his way. Every step was full of unknowns and dangers, but he did not retreat. He knew that only by bravely facing these difficulties and challenges could he find a way out and return to his world.

However, just when he was about to give up hope, he suddenly heard a faint sound. The sound seemed to come from a certain direction, although it was weak but extremely clear. He immediately followed the sound, hoping to find a glimmer of hope.

As he continued to explore deeper, the sound became clearer and clearer. He finally came to a spacious stone chamber. In the center of the chamber was an ancient stone platform, on which was inlaid a gem that emitted a faint glow. The faint sound came from the gem.

He approached the stone platform and observed the gem carefully, and found that it was slowly rotating and emitting a strange wave. This wave seemed to echo with some power in the grassland garden, which made him feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

At this moment, the gem suddenly emitted a dazzling light that enveloped his entire body. He felt a powerful force surge into his body as if to tear him apart. But he did not struggle or shout, but just closed his eyes tightly and let the force wreak havoc in his body.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself back in the prairie garden. He looked around and saw the soldiers anxiously waiting for him. They cheered and rejoiced to see him return safely.

But Bai Ye had no time to celebrate his return. He was filled with doubts and uneasiness. He knew that he had just experienced an incredible adventure and the secrets hidden behind the gem might be much more complicated than he imagined.

He stood there silently, gazing at the distant sky, as if thinking about some important problem. The soldiers surrounded him and waited quietly for his next instruction. They knew that Bai Ye could always make the right decision at the most critical moment and lead them out of trouble.

However, the situation this time seems to be more complicated and dangerous than ever before. Bai Ye is fully aware of his responsibilities and mission. He must find the secret, solve the mystery of the prairie garden, and lead the soldiers out of here safely.

He took a deep breath and slowly turned around to face the soldiers. "We are not done yet," he said firmly. "There are more challenges waiting for us. But as long as we unite as one, nothing can stop us from moving forward."

The soldiers nodded in agreement when they heard this.

Bai Ye's words were like an invisible force, inspiring the hearts of every soldier. They stood up straight, with determination and courage in their eyes, as if they were ready to face all the challenges ahead. Bai Ye knew that this grassland garden was not only beautiful and mysterious, but also hidden countless dangers and unknowns. But it was these unknowns that stimulated their desire to explore and tested their wisdom and courage.

"Everyone stay alert, we continue to move forward." Bai Ye gave a brief and powerful command, and then took the lead in setting off. The soldiers followed closely behind him, with neat and powerful steps, their hearts filled with curiosity about the unknown and desire for victory.

As they went deeper into the grassland, the surrounding scenery became more magnificent. The colorful flowers swayed gently in the breeze, as if cheering for their arrival. In the distance, flocks of birds soared in the blue sky, and their chirping mixed with the tranquility of the grassland to form a beautiful movement.

However, in this tranquility and beauty, an atmosphere of uneasiness was quietly spreading. Bai Ye was keenly aware of this, he stopped and looked around, trying to find the source of the uneasiness. At this moment, a soldier suddenly pointed forward and shouted in horror: "Look! What is that?!"

Bai Ye looked in the direction the soldier pointed and saw a group of giant bison slowly walking towards them. The bodies of these bison were almost as big as the trees, with gnarled muscles and a primitive wildness in their eyes. Their horns were like sharp scimitars, flashing cold light in the sun, making people shudder.

The soldiers became nervous when they saw this. They clenched their weapons tightly and prepared to deal with the upcoming danger. Bai Ye knew that these giant bison were not easy to deal with. Once they were angered, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Don't panic, stay calm." Bai Ye said in a deep voice, "We should not attack them actively and try to stay out of their sight." He quickly formulated a strategy and prepared to lead the soldiers to bypass the group of giant bison.

The soldiers heard this, and although they were still afraid, they still tried to control themselves and acted according to Bai Ye's instructions. They carefully avoided the bison's sight, kept a low profile, and slowly moved to one side.

However, the herd of giant bison seemed to be aware of their presence, and their eyes began to become alert and hostile. One of the largest bison even let out a deafening roar, as if declaring its sovereignty over the territory to them.

The soldiers were so nervous that they knew they would face an unprecedented battle if the herd of bison attacked. But Bai Ye was very calm. He kept a close eye on the movements of the herd, looking for an opportunity to break the dilemma.

After a while, the bison stopped showing their might, and Bai Ye was able to lead the soldiers through.
