A Journey of American Comics Starting from the Zombie Universe

"Quick! Find cover!" Bai Ye shouted loudly. The soldiers quickly looked for places to hide, some hiding behind rocks and some clinging to the walls.

However, this vibration did not bring any attacks, but caused a drastic change in the scene in the passage. The strange plants that originally grew on both sides of the passage suddenly began to grow wildly, and their branches and leaves quickly spread to cover the entire passage. And the roars that were originally just low growls became louder and clearer, as if countless beasts were approaching them.

"What the hell is this?" a soldier shouted in horror.

Bai Ye stared at the madly growing plants, his heart filled with doubt and uneasiness. He knew that these plants were not growing naturally but were controlled by some kind of force. But where did this force come from? What purpose did it want to achieve?

"Everyone stay calm!" Bai Ye shouted loudly, "Although these plants look scary, as long as we find their weaknesses, we will be able to defeat them!"

The soldiers nodded in agreement. They began to observe the plants carefully and try to find their weaknesses. After some effort, they finally found that although the branches and leaves of these plants were hard, the roots were relatively weak. So they concentrated their firepower and began to attack the roots of those plants.

As the explosions continued, the branches and leaves of the plants began to wither and lose their vitality. The roars also weakened and eventually disappeared. When the last branch fell, the entire passage returned to peace.

"We won!" a soldier shouted excitedly.

Bai Ye did not let down his guard immediately. He knew that victory was only temporary in this underground world full of unknowns and dangers. To truly find a way out and uncover the secrets here, they still needed to face more challenges and tests.

"Everyone, don't let your guard down!" Bai Ye said in a deep voice, "Keep moving forward!"

The soldiers nodded in agreement. They set out on their journey again and continued along this new passage. However, they did not realize that this passage would lead them to a more mysterious and dangerous place...

Following Bai Ye and the soldiers' firm steps, they passed through the bizarre passage, as if crossing the boundaries of time and space. Suddenly, the view in front of them became clear, and a completely different scene appeared before everyone - they came to a winter forest deep underground.

The air around them suddenly became fresh and cold, with a chill from the snowy regions of the far north. The sun, or some strange light source, shone through the sparse holes above, covering the forest with a faint golden glow, but it was difficult to dispel the pervasive chill. Snowflakes, miraculously dancing in this sunless underground world, slowly fell on the branches, the ground, and the shoulders of every explorer who stepped into this strange realm.

"This... where is this?" a soldier asked in a trembling voice, his eyes full of disbelief and shock.

Bai Ye was also shocked by this sudden scene, but he quickly regained his composure and looked around, looking for possible clues and ways out. "It seems that we have mistakenly entered another unknown space. However, since we are here, we must adapt to the environment here as soon as possible and find a way to move forward."

The soldiers nodded one after another. Although their hearts were filled with fear and curiosity about the unknown, they all understood that at this moment, only by unity could they overcome all difficulties.

They carefully shuttled through this winter forest. The snow under their feet made a "squeaking" sound, which intertwined with the occasional bird calls or animal roars in the distance to form a strange symphony. The trees were tall and straight, and the branches were covered with crystal clear icicles, like carefully carved works of art. However, under this beauty, there are unknown dangers hidden, and they must always be vigilant.

"Everyone, please note that the creatures here may be different from those in the outside world, and we must be careful when dealing with them." Bai Ye reminded.

Sure enough, not long after, they encountered a group of creatures that looked like miniature polar bears. These creatures were covered in snow-white fur, and their eyes revealed a primitive savagery. They seemed to be full of hostility towards the uninvited guests, and they opened their mouths wide and let out low roars.

"Prepare for battle!" Bai Ye gave a decisive order. The soldiers quickly lined up, holding their weapons, ready for battle. However, just as the two sides were about to clash, something unexpected happened.

A "polar bear" that seemed to be the leader suddenly stopped roaring. It slowly walked forward and looked at Bai Ye and his group with its wise eyes. After a moment, it actually uttered a low hum similar to human language: "Outsiders, why did you break into our territory?"

This sudden change stunned everyone. Bai Ye was the first to react. He tried to respond in the same way: "We are lost explorers who came here accidentally. Excuse me, where is this place? How do we leave?"

The "polar bear" seemed to understand Bai Ye's words. It nodded and motioned for everyone to follow. In an atmosphere of tension and curiosity, Bai Ye and the soldiers followed this strange creature deep into the heart of the forest.

As they go deeper, they find that this forest is far more complex and mysterious than they imagined. There are not only strange creatures here, but also ruins and caves hiding ancient secrets. And those "polar bears" seem to be the guardians of this underground world. They lead Bai Ye and his group to explore this unknown land.

In one expedition after another, Bai Ye and the soldiers gradually uncovered the secrets of this winter forest. They discovered the remains of an ancient civilization, witnessed the miracle of the interweaving of nature and magic, and also gained friendship and help from these strange creatures.

However, as they get closer and closer to the core of this underground world, the dangers and challenges become more severe. They not only have to face the test from nature, but also solve the mysteries and puzzles that have troubled countless explorers.

But no matter how many difficulties and unknowns await them ahead, Bai Ye and the soldiers firmly believe that as long as they unite as one and move forward courageously, they will be able to find a way out, uncover the truth, and write their own legendary chapter in this mysterious winter forest.

Just when Bai Ye and the soldiers thought they had established some kind of delicate peaceful coexistence with this group of strange "polar bears", a sudden change completely broke the tranquility. Those creatures that seemed docile at first suddenly showed their true fangs, with bloodthirsty light flashing in their eyes, as if all the previous friendliness was a carefully laid trap.

"Be careful!" Bai Ye shouted almost instinctively, and quickly took out a flamethrower from his waist. This is a weapon specially prepared for underground exploration, which can spray high-temperature flames in extreme environments and is particularly effective against unknown creatures.

The soldiers also reacted, some of them drew their swords, some raised their shields, and prepared to meet this sudden battle. However, facing these huge and agile "polar bears", their preparations seemed a bit hasty and weak.

The "polar bears" roared deafeningly, opened their sharp claws, jumped up, and rushed towards Bai Ye and his group. Bai Ye did not retreat, knowing that every second was crucial at this moment. He quickly pulled the trigger of the flamethrower, and a beam of hot flame instantly sprayed out, illuminating the entire battlefield.

The flame drew a perfect arc in the air and accurately hit the "polar bear" in the front. The creature howled in pain, its hair instantly ignited, and it rolled on the ground, trying to put out the flames. However, the power of the flamethrower was far from simple, and the high-temperature flames quickly engulfed its entire body, leaving only a charred skeleton.

This attack not only frightened the other polar bears, but also gave Bai Ye and his companions hope. They followed Bai Ye's example and used their weapons to fight fiercely with these creatures. The sounds of flames, swords, and shields colliding came one after another, and the entire winter forest seemed to have turned into a battlefield.

However, there were too many "polar bears" and they did not seem to be afraid of the threat of fire. Even if some of their companions fell, they still rushed towards Bai Ye and his group. Bai Ye knew that this was not a solution. He had to find the real reason why these creatures launched the attack and find a solution as soon as possible.

"Everyone, please pay attention! These creatures may be controlled by some force!" Bai Ye shouted loudly, "We must find the controller to end this battle completely!"

The soldiers nodded in agreement after hearing this. They began to observe the surrounding environment and the behavior patterns of these creatures more attentively, trying to find the controller hiding in the dark.

After some effort, they finally found some clues. Deep in the forest, there was an ancient altar with some strange totems and runes on it. And when the "polar bears" attacked, they seemed to look in the direction of the altar.

"That's the key!" Bai Ye pointed in the direction of the altar and said, "We must destroy it to release the control of these creatures!"

The soldiers agreed with what they heard. They quickly adjusted their tactics and concentrated their firepower to launch a fierce attack on the altar. Under the double blow of the flames and sword light, the totems and runes on the altar began to gradually disintegrate, releasing bursts of strange light.

As the altar collapsed, the "polar bears" seemed to have lost control and stopped attacking. The bloodthirsty light in their eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by a sense of confusion and helplessness. Finally, these creatures slowly retreated back to the depths of the forest and disappeared from everyone's sight.

The battle was finally over. Bai Ye and the soldiers sat on the ground exhausted, gasping for breath. Although they won the battle, they also paid a heavy price. However, they knew that this was just a small challenge they encountered in this mysterious underground world. There were more unknowns and dangers waiting for them to explore and conquer.

"Let's rest for a while." Bai Ye said, "We'll continue moving forward after we recover our strength."

The soldiers nodded in agreement. They knew that no matter how difficult and dangerous the road ahead was, they had to persevere. Because only in this way could they find the real way out, uncover the secrets of this underground world, and complete their mission.

As their strength gradually recovered, Bai Ye and the soldiers set out on a journey of exploration again. They were full of curiosity about the unknown and vigilance about the challenges ahead, and they took every step with extreme caution. Passing through the winter forest that had just experienced a fierce battle, they came to a relatively quiet area, where there was no previous noise and danger, only snowflakes falling quietly, covering every inch of land.

However, this tranquility did not last long. When they passed a dense bush, they gasped at the sight before them - the "polar bears" that had fought with them before were now all lying on the ground, their bodies covered with wounds, and their blood dyed the surrounding snow red, creating a shocking scene.

"This...what's going on?" a soldier asked in a trembling voice, his eyes full of fear and confusion.

Bai Ye also felt a chill rising from the bottom of his heart. He quickly looked around, trying to find possible clues. At this moment, a deep and powerful sound of footsteps came from the woods not far away, breaking the dead silence.

"Everyone be careful!" Bai Ye shouted in a low voice, and at the same time signaled the soldiers to prepare for battle.

As the footsteps approached, a huge figure slowly walked out of the woods. It was an extremely large moose, with cold eyes and a cruel smile on its lips. Behind it, there was a long trail of blood. Obviously, the deaths of those "polar bears" were caused by it.

"This...this was done by a moose?" a soldier shouted in disbelief.

Bai Ye frowned, he had never seen such a ferocious moose. In his perception, moose are usually gentle and shy creatures, they live deep in the forest, feed on plants, and rarely conflict with humans or other creatures. However, the moose in front of him completely overturned his perception.

"It seems that we have encountered an unusual opponent." Bai Ye said in a deep voice, "Everyone stay alert and don't act rashly."

The soldiers nodded in agreement, knowing that facing such a ferocious moose, any rash action could have fatal consequences.

The moose did not seem to be in a hurry to attack, it just stood there quietly, looking at Bai Ye and his group with its cold eyes. Its breathing was heavy and powerful, and every breath was accompanied by a strong smell of blood.

"Why did you do this?" Bai Ye asked with courage, "You have no grudge against those polar bears, why did you kill them so cruelly?"

The moose did not answer, it just let out a low roar, the sound was full of anger and disdain. Then, it suddenly leaped forward, and its huge body pressed towards Bai Ye and his group like a mountain.

"Prepare for battle!" Bai Ye shouted loudly, and quickly drew his sword. The soldiers responded one after another, raised their weapons, and started a fierce fight with the ferocious moose.

However, the moose's strength was far beyond their imagination. Its horns were like sharp blades, easily piercing shields and armor; its hooves were like heavy hammers, and every time it trampled, the ground would tremble. Although Bai Ye and the soldiers tried their best, they still seemed powerless under the moose's fierce attack.
