A Journey of American Comics Starting from the Zombie Universe

He tried to recall the various training and tests he had received in the army, trying to find some inspiration and enlightenment. But those memories of tactics, strategy, and survival skills seemed to pale in front of this Sudoku game. He realized that he was facing an unprecedented challenge, a challenge that required wisdom and patience, and perhaps even some special abilities.

At this moment, a strange sound suddenly came from outside the cabin. It was a low and long sound, like a call from the depths of the sea, or the sound of some ancient machinery running. The soldiers stopped what they were doing and looked at the entrance of the cabin in horror. Bai Ye, as if being pulled by some force, stood up involuntarily and walked towards the direction of the sound.

When he came to the edge of the cabin, he saw a shocking sight. The seawater outside the cabin began to slowly part, revealing a passage leading to the deep seabed. At the end of the passage, a strange light similar to a gem was flashing.

"What...what is that?" a soldier asked in a trembling voice, his eyes full of fear and curiosity.

Bai Ye did not answer him, but just stared at the passage silently. A strong intuition surged in his heart - that passage might be the key to solving the Sudoku puzzle and escaping from the metal ship. But he also knew that this road was full of unknowns and dangers, and once he stepped into it, he might never be able to turn back.

However, at this moment he suddenly realized something - this Sudoku puzzle might not be for them to really solve it, but to guide them to that passage in some way. He recalled the feeling of being pulled by some force when he tried to solve the Sudoku puzzle, and the seemingly chaotic arrangement of numbers...

"I understand!" Bai Ye turned around and shouted to the soldiers, "This Sudoku game does not require us to actually solve it. Instead, we need to trigger a certain mechanism through our thinking and attempts! What we need to do now is not to continue solving the Sudoku but to find a way to trigger the mechanism!"

The soldiers were stunned when they heard this. They looked at Bai Ye's eyes flashing with unprecedented light, as if they saw hope. They began to re-examine the Sudoku game and tried to find the answer from another angle. Bai Ye began to search around the console. He believed that the trigger mechanism must be hidden in a corner here.

After a lot of hard work and exploration, they finally found a button hidden under the console. The button was covered with a thick layer of dust and it was hard to find it without careful observation. But when Bai Ye pressed the button, the whole cabin shook and the Sudoku game disk on the console disappeared. Instead, a light door leading to the underwater passage slowly opened...

As the light gate slowly opened, Bai Ye did not hesitate at all, as he knew that this might be their only chance to escape from this strange metal ship. He took a deep breath, nodded to the soldiers behind him, and motioned them to follow. Although the soldiers were filled with anxiety and doubt, facing Bai Ye's firm gaze, they still plucked up their courage and followed him into the light gate.

However, the moment they passed through the light gate, they were shocked by the scene in front of them. They originally thought that it would be an unknown underwater world or a mysterious space, but unexpectedly they entered a completely closed metal room. The room was surrounded by cold metal walls, and the ceiling and floor were also made of metal. There was no gap or window, and the whole space was full of depression and dullness.

"Where... where is this?" A soldier's voice echoed in the room, with a bit of fear and confusion. The others looked at each other, their eyes full of confusion and fear. They looked around, trying to find any clues that could explain all this, but there was nothing else except the cold metal walls and the breathing sounds echoing in their ears.

Bai Ye was also shocked and confused, but he quickly regained his composure. He knew that in this unknown environment, only by staying calm and rational could he find a way out. He walked to the center of the room and carefully observed the surrounding environment, trying to find any possible exit or mechanism.

However, no matter how hard he tried, this metal room seemed like a perfect cage, with no cracks to escape from. What made them even more desperate was that the light door that originally led here disappeared after they entered, as if it had never existed.

"We are...trapped here?" A soldier cried, his eyes full of despair and helplessness. Others showed the same expression, and they began to realize that they might really be in a desperate situation.

Bai Ye did not answer their questions, he just stood there silently, with a complex light flashing in his eyes. He knew that it would be futile to say any words of comfort now, they had to face reality and find a way out.

So he turned to the soldiers and said, "Don't panic, we are not in desperate situation yet. Let's eat something and take a rest, and then think of a solution." As he said that, he took out some compressed biscuits and water from his backpack and distributed them to the soldiers.

The soldiers took the food and water, and although they were still filled with fear and anxiety, they still ate some reluctantly. They knew that only by maintaining their physical strength could they have a better chance of escaping this hellhole.

Bai Ye also ate some compressed biscuits, then walked to a corner of the room and sat down. He closed his eyes and began to think about what to do next. However, no matter how hard he thought, he could not find any feasible solutions. This metal room seemed to be an endless loop, with no exit or entrance. They were like being trapped in an invisible cage.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and the whole room fell into a dead silence. Only the occasional low breathing and sighs of the soldiers could break the silence. They began to realize that they might really be trapped and die in this place.

Bai Ye's heart was also filled with despair and helplessness, but he knew he couldn't give up. He had to stay calm and rational and find a way to escape. He began to carefully observe every corner and every detail of the room, trying to find any possible clues or mechanisms. However, no matter how hard he tried, he found nothing.

As time went on, the soldiers' emotions became increasingly unstable. They began to complain, quarrel, and even blame each other. The whole room was filled with negative energy and despair, as if even the air had become heavy.

Bai Ye looked at all this with helplessness and heartache in his heart. He knew that this would only make the situation worse, and he had to find a way to calm the soldiers and cheer them up. So he stood up and walked among the soldiers and said loudly: "Everyone calm down and listen to me!"

The soldiers stopped arguing and complaining after hearing this. They looked at Bai Ye with a hint of expectation and hope in their eyes. Bai Ye took a deep breath and continued, "We are indeed in trouble now, but I believe that as long as we don't give up, we will definitely find a way out! We are a team and we must trust and support each other to get through the difficulties together! So please stay calm and rational, let's work together to find a way to escape from this damn place!"

As soon as Bai Ye finished speaking, the soldiers nodded in agreement. They knew that Bai Ye was right. Only by uniting together could they have more chances to escape from this desperate situation. So they began to encourage and support each other and work together to find a way to escape.

However, as time went by, they still hadn't found any feasible solutions. The metal room seemed like an endless maze that trapped them and made it impossible for them to escape. The soldiers' moods became low again, and they began to doubt whether their abilities and luck could really help them escape from this hellhole...

Faced with this endless metal cage and their increasingly exhausted patience, the soldiers' emotions gradually fell to the bottom. Every time they knocked on the metal wall, the echo seemed to be mocking their powerlessness and despair. Bai Ye saw it with his own eyes and was anxious in his heart. He knew that if this continued, the morale of the team would completely collapse, and by then, the hope of escape would be even slimmer.

So Bai Ye made a bold decision. He stood up, looked at each soldier with a determined gaze, and said in a deep voice: "We can't go on like this. We must find a way to relieve the depression in our hearts and maintain our fighting spirit. I suggest that we conduct combat training. On the one hand, it can exercise the body, and on the other hand, it can also release the inner pressure through physical confrontation."

At first, the soldiers looked at each other, somewhat surprised by this sudden proposal. But soon, they realized that this was the only way to cheer them up. So, they all nodded in agreement, and according to Bai Ye's arrangement, they started combat training in groups of two.

During the fight, the soldiers temporarily forgot their predicament and despair. They were fully engaged, and every punch and kick was full of strength and determination. Sweat soaked their clothes, but their eyes flashed with an unprecedented light. It was a desire for freedom, a persistence in survival, and a firm belief in the trust and support of their companions.

Bai Ye also participated in the battle. He was not only a commander, but also a comrade-in-arms. He set an example for the soldiers with his actions and demonstrated an indomitable spirit. Under his leadership, the soldiers gradually regained their confidence and courage. They began to believe that as long as they had enough determination and perseverance, nothing could stop them from moving forward.

As time went by, the combat training gradually reached its climax. The soldiers' cooperation became more and more tacit, and their movements became more and more swift and powerful. In this closed metal room, they seemed to have become a group of fearless warriors, fighting against fate in their own way.

However, just as they were immersed in the pleasure of fighting, an unexpected discovery broke the peace. When a soldier was avoiding the opponent's attack, he accidentally bumped into a corner of the room. This collision was so serious that it caused the seemingly indestructible metal wall to make a slight sound.

The soldiers stopped their movements and looked at the corner. Bai Ye also quickly walked forward and carefully examined the wall. After careful observation and testing, he was surprised to find that there was a tiny gap in the wall! This discovery ignited a glimmer of hope in everyone's heart.

"Everyone, come on! This could be a breakthrough!" Bai Ye shouted excitedly. Soldiers gathered around him and pushed the wall together to try to open it. Although the process was difficult and time-consuming, with everyone's joint efforts, the wall was finally slowly pushed open, revealing a narrow passage leading to the outside world.

"We found a way out!" The soldiers cheered and rejoiced. They finally saw hope of escaping this metal cage. Bai Ye also showed a long-lost smile. He knew that all this was the result of their joint efforts.

However, when they were about to escape through the passage, they unexpectedly discovered that the end of the passage was a dark unknown space. This discovery once again filled their hearts with anxiety and fear. But they knew that there was no way out now and they could only bite the bullet and continue forward.

So they lit up their flashlights and stepped carefully into the unknown space. In the darkness, they supported and encouraged each other and faced the unknown challenges ahead together. Although the road was full of hardships and dangers, they believed that as long as they maintained unity and faith, they would be able to find their own bright future...

In that deep and dark unknown space, every step seemed extremely heavy and difficult. The weak beam of the flashlight barely penetrated the darkness, but could only illuminate a few meters ahead, making everything around seem even more eerie. The soldiers' breathing echoed in the silence, and their heartbeats seemed to be clearly audible. The air was filled with an indescribable depression and tension.

As they continued to move forward, the surrounding scene began to become more and more bizarre. The originally smooth wall was gradually covered with strange patterns, like some kind of ancient and complex totem, or like the traces left by some unknown creature. These patterns flickered faintly in the weak light, making people feel cold. The soldiers' steps began to become hesitant, and their eyes were filled with fear and doubt, as if every step was on the edge of the unknown.

Finally, after they passed through a narrow passage, a solid stone wall appeared in front of them, completely blocking their way. This sudden dead end made everyone stunned, and a feeling of despair instantly spread among the team. The soldiers stopped one after another, some squatted down to catch their breath, and some used flashlights to shine around, trying to find any possible way out, but the results were all in vain.

Bai Ye stood at the front of the team, and he also felt the despair and helplessness. But he knew that as a commander, he had to remain calm and firm, and not let this emotion affect the entire team. So, he took a deep breath, turned around, faced the soldiers, and said in a steady and powerful voice: "Don't panic, everyone, we are not in despair yet. Since this road is blocked, let's find another way. As long as we don't give up, we will definitely find a way out."
