A Journey of American Comics Starting from the Zombie Universe

Bai Ye and the soldiers continued to travel through the vast forest. Each step seemed extremely heavy, as if the land beneath their feet was silently telling the vicissitudes of time and the majesty of nature. The sunlight shone through the dense treetops, casting mottled light and shadows, adding a bit of mystery and uneasiness to the dark forest.

As they went deeper, the surrounding scenery began to change subtly. The trees became taller and denser, with vines entwined and branches intertwined, as if the whole world was swallowed up by green. The air was filled with the damp smell of soil and vegetation, as well as an indescribable sense of oppression. Bai Ye stopped and frowned, realizing that they were about to step into a completely different ecosystem - a huge tropical rainforest.

"Everyone be careful, we are about to enter the tropical rainforest area." Bai Ye warned in a low voice, his voice echoing among the dense vegetation, sounding particularly clear and powerful. Upon hearing this, the soldiers tightened their weapons in their hands, looked around vigilantly, and prepared to meet the upcoming challenge.

However, just as they were about to step into this unknown territory, miraculously, the scene before them suddenly changed dramatically. The originally lush tropical rainforest gradually became blurred and distorted in the astonished eyes of the crowd, and finally turned into a huge river, stretching across them.

The river was vast and turbid, with a lot of mud and gravel mixed in it, as if it was a great force surging from deep underground. The river was surging, the waves were rolling, and the deafening roar was terrifying. The soldiers looked at each other, their eyes full of disbelief and fear.

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

Bai Ye remained silent. He stared at the sudden river, his heart filled with doubt and uneasiness. He knew that nature was unpredictable, but he had never seen such a strange phenomenon. The appearance of this river undoubtedly added more uncertainty and danger to their already difficult journey.

"What...what should we do?" another soldier asked nervously, with a hint of despair in his voice.

Bai Ye took a deep breath and tried to calm his inner turmoil. He knew that as a leader, he had to remain calm and rational in order to lead the soldiers out of the predicament. He looked around, trying to find a feasible path, but there was nothing around except the raging river and dense vegetation.

"We... must cross the river." Bai Ye finally spoke, his voice was soft but firm. He knew that retreat was impossible, they could only look forward and look for hope of survival.

The soldiers heard this and looked at Bai Ye, with surprise and admiration in their eyes. They knew that Bai Ye's decision was undoubtedly brave and risky, but in this desperate moment, they could only choose to believe him.

So they began to look for tools or methods to cross the river. But in this uninhabited forest, it was extremely difficult to find a boat or a large enough plank. They could only use the resources around them to make simple rafts or ropes to try to cross the turbulent river.

However, the ferocity of the river was beyond their imagination. Every attempt was accompanied by great risks and failures. Some soldiers accidentally fell into the water and were swept away by the turbulent river; some rafts disintegrated on the way, causing the soldiers to fall into the icy river and struggle for survival. Every failure made the soldiers feel heavier and more desperate.

Bai Ye also knew this. He stood on the shore, staring at every detail in the river, trying to find a possible opportunity. But as time went by and the casualties of the soldiers continued, the hope in his heart gradually became slim.

At this time, a sudden storm broke the tranquility of the forest. The wind was strong and the rain was pouring down, making the entire river even more turbulent. The soldiers were caught off guard by this sudden storm. They all looked for a place to shelter from the rain, but it was extremely difficult to find a place in this dense forest.

Bai Ye stood still, letting the rain wet his clothes and face. His heart was filled with helplessness and anger - towards the ruthless nature, the sudden disaster, and the journey full of unknowns and dangers. He knew they might have reached the end, but even so he would persist until the last moment because he could not let any soldier die in vain, nor could he lose his last dignity and pride.

Under the ravages of this storm, the soldiers and Bai Ye fell into an unprecedented predicament. They relied on each other, encouraged each other, and tried to find a glimmer of hope and light for survival in this disaster. But in this forest full of unknowns and dangers, their fate seemed to be doomed to an inescapable fate and reincarnation...

Under the ravages of the storm, the soldiers and Bai Ye finally made a difficult decision - temporarily give up crossing the river and look for a safe shelter. They quickly took out the tents they carried from their backpacks. These tents were originally used for temporary camping, but now they became their only support to resist the wind and rain and preserve their physical strength.

The soldiers worked together, some were responsible for fixing the tent brackets, while others were busy spreading the waterproof cloth to ensure that every corner could fit tightly and resist the invasion of wind and rain. Bai Ye was directing from the side, and his eyes showed both trust in the soldiers and worry about the unknown future. But at this critical moment, he had to show the firmness and courage of a leader to give the soldiers confidence and strength.

After a flurry of activity, several tents were finally erected in the chaos, standing like isolated islands in the wind and rain. Soldiers rushed into the tents, took off their soaked clothes, huddled in the small space, and tried to use each other's body temperature to dispel the cold and fear.

The rain continued to hit the tent fiercely, making a "dong dong dong" sound, as if it was nature's mockery and test of mankind. Although it was relatively warm inside the tent, the humid air and the closed environment made it difficult to fall asleep. The soldiers snuggled up to each other, whispered, and shared each other's stories and memories to relieve their inner tension and anxiety.

Bai Ye sat in his tent, closed his eyes and rested, but his thoughts were as chaotic as the rain, and it was difficult to calm down. He recalled every detail of his journey, from the initial confidence to the current difficulties, and every step was full of hardships and challenges. He knew that as a leader, he had to take on more responsibilities and pressures, but he also understood that he could not lead the soldiers out of the predicament by himself.

At this moment, a rapid knock on the door interrupted his thoughts. He opened his eyes and saw a soldier standing at the door with a nervous look. "Bai Ye, we found a strange phenomenon." The soldier whispered with a little uneasiness in his tone.

Bai Ye's heart tightened, he quickly stood up and walked out of the tent. In the rain, he saw several soldiers gathered together, pointing at an open space not far away. Bai Ye walked closer and saw a strange light appearing on the open space, and something seemed to be moving slowly in the light.

His heart was filled with doubts and curiosity, but more of it was vigilance and alertness. He signaled the soldiers to keep quiet, and then carefully approached the light. As he approached, he was surprised to find that the light was actually emitted by a group of luminous creatures. These creatures had different shapes, some were like floating lanterns, and some were like swimming points of light. They shuttled back and forth in the rain, as if they were performing some mysterious ritual.

Bai Ye knew that these creatures were not ordinary creatures. He quickly gathered the soldiers and asked them to stay alert, and ordered some of them to prepare weapons just in case. He approached the creatures cautiously and tried to establish contact with them.

However, these creatures seemed unwilling to communicate with humans. They just silently emitted light and continued their rituals. Bai Ye tried to communicate with them in various ways but failed. He felt frustrated and helpless, but he also understood that the appearance of these creatures was by no means accidental. They might be inextricably linked to the secrets of this forest and their current predicament.

Just when Bai Ye was at a loss, he suddenly thought of a possibility - these creatures might be the guardians of this forest or symbols of some mysterious power. He decided to change his strategy and no longer try to communicate with them by force, but to approach them with a more respectful and awe-inspiring attitude.

So Bai Ye led the soldiers to retreat a distance and quietly observe those creatures. As time went by, they found that the light of those creatures seemed to become softer and warmer, as if conveying some kind of comfort and encouragement to them.

The soldiers' tension gradually eased and they began to feel an unprecedented tranquility and peace. They looked at each other with hope and gratitude in their eyes. They knew that no matter how difficult and dangerous the road ahead was, as long as they united as one and supported each other, they would be able to overcome all difficulties and find their own bright road.

In this forest full of unknowns and dangers, Bai Ye and the soldiers gradually found their own direction and faith. They knew they had to keep going forward to explore the secrets of this forest and uncover the truth hidden in the darkness. But they also knew they were no longer alone because there were countless lives and forces silently supporting and protecting them in this vast world.

In the interval when the rain gradually subsided, Bai Ye and the soldiers set out on their journey again. They passed through the clearing emitting strange light, and with a sense of inexplicable awe and expectation in their hearts, they continued to go deeper into this unknown tropical rainforest. The land under their feet became muddy due to the soaking of rain, and each step seemed extremely heavy, but their steps were extremely firm, as if there was an invisible force supporting them to move forward.

As time went by, the surrounding scene changed again. The trees became denser and the vines became more tightly entangled, as if the entire forest was trying to stop them from advancing. However, Bai Ye and the soldiers did not retreat. They held their weapons tightly, observed their surroundings vigilantly, and advanced step by step.

Just when they thought they had adapted to the harsh environment of the forest, the sky suddenly changed. The originally gloomy sky became even darker, with dark clouds that seemed to be pouring down at any time. The soldiers looked up at the sky, their hearts filled with anxiety and fear. They knew that in this forest full of unknowns and dangers, any change in the weather could bring fatal threats.

At this moment, there was a sudden "crackling" sound in the sky, and then countless hailstones fell from the sky like sharp blades, hitting the soldiers and the surrounding trees fiercely. The impact of the hailstones was so great that the soldiers could hardly stand firmly. They could only hold on to the trees around them or rely on each other to keep their balance in this storm.

Bai Ye saw this and responded quickly. He shouted to the soldiers to keep in formation and not to disperse. At the same time, he ordered some people to find a place to hide from the hail, such as dense bushes or low-lying areas. However, in this dense tropical rainforest, it was not easy to find a place to completely avoid the hail.

The soldiers could only use the surrounding trees and vines as shelter as much as possible, but even so, they could not completely avoid the hail. The cold and pain of the hail made them groan, but no one chose to give up. They knew that in this dangerous forest, only persistence could help them survive.

As time went by, the momentum of the hail gradually weakened, but the sky was still gloomy and uncertain, as if it would erupt again at any time. Soldiers came out from their hiding places and checked each other's injuries. Although most people only suffered minor injuries, some soldiers fell into a coma because they were hit by hail in the vital parts.

Bai Ye quickly organized the soldiers to carry out rescue work. They used the first aid kits they carried with them to bandage the wounds, stop bleeding and relieve pain. At the same time, they also vigilantly observed the changes in the surrounding environment to prevent any accidents.

In this sudden hailstorm, the soldiers deeply experienced the cruelty and ruthlessness of nature. They knew that any negligence in this forest full of unknowns and dangers could bring fatal consequences. Therefore, they strengthened their faith and determination to unite as one, support each other and face the challenges and tests of the future together.

However, the hailstorm also made them realize a serious problem - they were running out of food and water. It was not easy to find food and water in this dense rainforest, not to mention the bad weather conditions they were facing.

Bai Ye knew this very well and he quickly called the soldiers together to discuss countermeasures. After some discussion, they decided to split into two groups: one group was responsible for finding food and water, and the other was responsible for building shelters and guarding the wounded. At the same time, they also developed a detailed action plan to ensure the maximum safety and survival of the soldiers under severe weather conditions.

So the soldiers took action again. They started a new journey according to the plan and divided the work. Soldiers looking for food and water shuttled through the dense vegetation and used their experience and wisdom to find possible resources; while soldiers building shelters were busy cutting down trees and setting up tents to provide a relatively safe and comfortable resting environment for the wounded.
