A Journey of American Comics Starting from the Zombie Universe
Chapter 700 Mechanical Forest
Bai Ye's gaze lingered on the giant bison's back for a moment, then he retracted it and refocused on the unknown road ahead. He took a deep breath and felt that the air was filled with not only the freshness of the grassland, but also a subtle strange smell. This smell seemed to indicate that there would be even more bizarre scenes waiting for them ahead.
"Let's keep going." Bai Ye's voice was deep and powerful, as if it could penetrate the tranquility of the grassland and reach the hearts of the soldiers. The soldiers said nothing, but nodded silently, followed Bai Ye, and embarked on a new journey.
As they went deeper into the grassland, the surrounding scenery began to change subtly. The colorful flowers gradually became scarce, replaced by patches of withered grass and the occasional strange plants, which grew twistedly, as if nature was silently telling some kind of pain. There was a faint smell of decay in the air, which was in sharp contrast to the freshness before.
The soldiers' steps began to become heavy, and their faces were full of fatigue and anxiety. But Bai Ye did not stop, because he knew that only by moving forward could he find a way out of this grassland and the secrets hidden behind it.
Just when they were about to give up hope, a strange scene suddenly appeared in front of them. It was a forest made of metal, with towering tree trunks, intricate branches, and leaves flashing with cold light, all of which declared its uniqueness. This was the mechanical forest.
The soldiers stopped and stared at the scene in disbelief. They had never seen such a strange and spectacular scene, as if they had stepped into a realm that did not belong to this world at all.
Bai Ye was also stunned, but he quickly regained his composure. He knew very well that the appearance of this mechanical forest was no accident, and there must be some profound meaning behind it. So he waved his hand, signaling the soldiers to continue moving forward.
They stepped into the mechanical forest carefully, each step being extremely cautious. The ground beneath their feet was no longer soft grass, but hard metal plates, making a dull sound with each step. The air around them seemed to become heavier, as if even breathing had become difficult.
As they went deeper into the forest, more and more strange sights came into view. Some tree trunks were inlaid with flashing LED lights, emitting colorful lights; some branches were hung with various strange mechanical devices, which kept running and making bursts of harsh sounds; and some leaves were covered with sharp saw teeth, as if they could tear intruders into pieces at any time.
The soldiers were filled with fear and curiosity. They didn't know how this mechanical forest was formed, nor what secrets were hidden behind it. But they knew that only by moving forward could they find the answer.
However, the mechanical forest was not a dead place. As they went deeper, they began to hear low roars. The sound became louder and clearer, as if something was approaching them.
Bai Ye immediately became alert and quickly looked around, trying to find the source of the sound. But in this intricate mechanical forest, it was not easy to find the source of the sound. He could only judge based on his intuition and years of combat experience.
At this moment, a strong vibration came from the ground, and then a huge mechanical monster rushed out from the depths of the woods. Its body was made up of various metal parts, and its huge body was covered with sharp blades and gun barrels. A pair of eyes flashing red stared at them.
The soldiers cried out in surprise and raised their weapons to prepare for battle. But Bai Ye knew that they could not fight against such a mechanical monster head-on. He made a quick decision and led the soldiers to find cover and prepare for guerrilla warfare.
They used the complex terrain of the mechanical forest to fight against the mechanical monsters. Every attack seemed so weak and pale, but the soldiers did not give up. They fought against the mechanical monsters with their tenacious will and firm belief.
However, as time went on, the soldiers' physical strength gradually ran out, and their weapons began to wear out. But the mechanical monsters seemed tireless and continued to launch fierce attacks on them.
Bai Ye's heart was filled with despair and helplessness. He knew that if they continued like this, they would be wiped out by the mechanical monster sooner or later. But at this moment, he noticed that the mechanical monster's movements seemed a little slow and stiff, as if it was restricted in some way.
He immediately came up with a bold plan. He quickly gave orders to the soldiers: "Everyone listen to my command! We must concentrate our firepower on attacking its joints!" Upon hearing this, the soldiers immediately understood Bai Ye's intention and adjusted their firepower to launch a fierce attack on the joints of the mechanical monster.
After a fierce battle, the joints of the mechanical monster were finally destroyed. It let out a deafening wail and then fell to the ground and turned into a pile of scrap metal. The soldiers cheered and celebrated this hard-won victory.
However, Bai Ye did not relax his vigilance. He knew that there must be more dangers waiting for them in this mechanical forest. He must lead the soldiers to move forward and find a way out of here and the secrets hidden behind it.
So they set out on their journey again. In this mechanical forest full of unknowns and dangers, they will continue to explore the mysteries and truths of this world. And their fate will be rewritten in this strange land...
As the roar of the mechanical monsters falling gradually dissipated in the depths of the forest, Bai Ye and the soldiers took a short breath, but there was no relaxation in their eyes. The weirdness and danger of this mechanical forest far exceeded their imagination, and there seemed to be more unknowns waiting for them ahead.
"Everyone be careful, there may be more dangers hidden in this forest." Bai Ye's voice was low and firm. He looked around, trying to find the next clue in this intricate metal world. At this moment, an unusual luster caught his attention.
It was a faint light coming from deep in the woods. It was completely different from the cold metallic luster around it. It was warm and soft, like a ray of hope in the darkness. Bai Ye's heart moved, and he immediately pointed in that direction: "Over there, let's go and take a look."
The soldiers followed closely behind, carefully passing through the dense mechanical trees, and every step was extremely cautious. As they got closer, the source of the light became clearer and clearer - it was a laboratory that seemed to have been abandoned for many years. Its shell was made of transparent reinforced glass. Although the interior was dim, various complex mechanical devices and experimental equipment could still be vaguely seen.
"Why... is there a laboratory here?" a soldier whispered in surprise, his voice full of confusion and curiosity.
Bai Ye did not answer, but silently pushed open the door of the laboratory. An old and damp smell came to his face, accompanied by the slight sound of mechanical operation, as if this laboratory had never really stopped working. They stepped in, and every step they took was on the dust of history.
The space inside the laboratory is extremely spacious. In the center is a huge laboratory table, on which are scattered various experimental equipment and unfinished experimental projects. The walls are covered with drawings and photos, recording the past glory and exploration here. But the most eye-catching are the huge mechanical devices, which stand in the corners or hang from the ceiling, as if telling a story about technology and madness.
"It seems that this was once a very important research base." Bai Ye said as he observed the surroundings, "But why was it abandoned here? What caused the emergence of this mechanical forest?"
The soldiers nodded one after another. They were also deeply attracted by this discovery and began to search around, hoping to find some valuable clues. Some flipped through the notes on the laboratory table, trying to interpret the complex formulas and charts; others carefully examined the photos and drawings on the wall, trying to restore the research content that had been here.
At this moment, a soldier suddenly exclaimed: "Bai Ye! Look here!" He pointed to a hidden corner under the experimental table, where there was a seemingly ordinary metal box, but on it was inlaid a gem that was sparkling with strange light.
Bai Ye walked over quickly and carefully picked up the metal box. He gently opened the lid and saw that the gem was emitting a dazzling light under the weak light, as if it contained infinite power. He immediately realized that this might be related to the appearance of the mechanical forest.
"Everyone, please pay attention. This may be an important discovery." Bai Ye's voice was filled with excitement. "We must handle this gem carefully while continuing to search other parts of the laboratory to see if there are any other clues."
The soldiers immediately took action upon hearing this, and they searched every corner of the laboratory more carefully. As time went by, they gradually discovered some shocking secrets: it turned out that this laboratory was once a secret scientific research project base, dedicated to studying an energy technology that could change the world. However, due to the out-of-control of the experiment and the intervention of unknown forces, the entire base was eventually destroyed, and the failed experiments became part of this mechanical forest.
"This... this is too scary!" a soldier said in a trembling voice, "If this technology is really successfully applied... the consequences will be disastrous."
Bai Ye nodded, his eyes full of solemnity. He knew very well that what they were facing now was not just an abandoned laboratory and a strange mechanical forest, but also a huge hidden danger that could threaten the entire world.
"We must report the situation here to the headquarters as soon as possible." Bai Ye said in a deep voice, "At the same time, we must continue to search other parts of the laboratory to see if there are other unsolved mysteries waiting for us to discover."
The soldiers immediately took action upon hearing this, and once again began their intense search. Bai Ye held the gem tightly, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He knew that this gem might be the key to solving all these mysteries...
Following Bai Ye's order, the soldiers dispersed again and continued to conduct a detailed search in every corner of the laboratory. The air was filled with a tense and expectant atmosphere, and everyone hoped to find more secrets about this abandoned laboratory and mechanical forest.
Bai Ye himself stood beside the experimental table, staring at the gem in his hand that was emitting a strange light, thinking about the possible connection between it and this mechanical forest. This gem was not only beautiful, but also revealed an extraordinary sense of power, which made him feel excited and alert.
At this moment, a soldier's exclamation broke the silence in the laboratory. "Bai Ye! Come and look at this!" He pointed to a corner of the laboratory, where a very strange-looking lighter was placed.
Bai Ye immediately put down the gem in his hand and walked quickly to the place where the soldier pointed. The lighter was simple in appearance, yet delicate, with a layer of light metallic luster on the surface, which formed a sharp contrast with the cold mechanical devices around it. What was even more peculiar was that a small blue gem was inlaid on the top of the lighter, which was similar to the gem in Bai Ye's hand.
"What is this?" Bai Ye picked up the lighter curiously and looked at it carefully. He noticed that the design of the lighter was very unique. It did not have a flint or gas tank in the traditional sense, but seemed to rely on some unknown power to ignite the flame.
"I don't know. I found it in the locker over there." The soldier pointed to an old locker not far away and said, "It looks like it was taken a long time ago, but it's well preserved."
Bai Ye nodded, a strong sense of curiosity surged in his heart. He tried to press the button on the lighter, but surprisingly, there was no response. He frowned and looked at the lighter carefully again, trying to find out the secret.
At this moment, he noticed a line of tiny words engraved on the bottom of the lighter. The words seemed to be written in an ancient font and needed to be carefully identified to be clear. He moved closer and whispered: "The key to the morning star unlocks the door to the unknown."
"The Key to the Morning Star?" Bai Ye's heart moved. He looked up at the soldiers around him and said, "Have you heard of this thing?"
The soldiers shook their heads to indicate that they didn't know. But Bai Ye felt an inexplicable excitement in his heart. He guessed that this lighter might not just be a simple ignition tool, but was directly related to a secret of the laboratory or the cause of the mechanical forest.
"We must continue searching to see if this lighter can reveal more secrets to us." Bai Ye said firmly. He held the lighter in his hand again, as if holding a key to open the door to the unknown.
The soldiers immediately took action upon hearing this. They dispersed again and searched every corner of the laboratory more carefully. Bai Ye took a lighter and began to walk around the laboratory, trying to find relevant clues.
After some efforts, they finally found a dusty diary in a forgotten storage room. The diary looked very old, and the cover had turned yellow, but the handwriting inside was still legible. The author of the diary seemed to be a scientist in this laboratory. He recorded in detail the laboratory's research process, experimental results, and the mistakes that ultimately led to the disaster.
On the last page of the diary, Bai Ye found a description of the lighter. It turned out that the lighter was a byproduct of laboratory research. It was originally designed as a tool that could control special energy, but due to the immaturity of the technology and the loss of control of the experiment, it was ultimately not successfully applied. The blue gem inlaid on the lighter is the key to controlling this special energy.
"It seems that this lighter is the key to solving the mystery of the mechanical forest." Bai Ye said excitedly, "We must find a way to activate it and see if it can reveal more secrets to us."
