A Journey of American Comics Starting from the Zombie Universe

When Bai Ye pushed open the wooden door full of mystery and expectation, a mixture of old and moist air hit him, which was completely different from the fresh air he expected. The scene in front of him made everyone present stunned. Behind the door was not the exit they longed for, but a huge and old aquarium, a strange space where time seemed to be frozen.

The light in the aquarium was dim, with only a few rays of light coming through the cracks in the broken skylight, barely illuminating this deserted world. The colorful murals on the surrounding walls had faded and peeled off, revealing mottled walls, and the rockery, coral reefs and other decorations that were once used to simulate the underwater world were now scattered all over the floor, covered with dust and cobwebs.

The most shocking thing is that the sparkling pool in the center of the aquarium is now only a dry muddy land with crisscrossing cracks, like scars on the earth. In this wasteland, there are all kinds of fish bones scattered around, they are of different sizes and shapes, some of them still keep the posture of swimming when they were alive, as if time has solidified at this moment, forever freezing the last moment of these lives.

The soldiers looked at each other in shock and confusion. They had never thought that after going through so many hardships and dangers, they would be waiting for such a scene. Bai Ye stood there, staring at the dead aquarium, with mixed feelings in his heart. He understood that this was not just the abandonment of an aquarium, but also the disappearance and forgetting of the memory of a certain era.

"What should we do?" A soldier's voice broke the silence, his tone full of confusion and fear.

Bai Ye took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He knew that the most important thing now was to stay calm and rational and find the next way out. He looked around, trying to find any possible clues or hope from the ruins.

"Don't panic, let's check if there are other exits or passages here." Bai Ye said in a deep voice, with an unquestionable firmness in his words. The soldiers nodded and began to search the aquarium carefully.

However, as time went on, they gradually realized that this aquarium seemed to be a closed space, and there was no other exit or passage except the wooden door they came in. This discovery made the soldiers' mood fall to a low point again, and they began to worry whether they would be trapped to death in this place.

At this moment, Bai Ye suddenly noticed that a corner of the aquarium seemed a little unusual. There was an area there that was relatively clean, without too much dust and cobwebs, as if someone had just cleaned it not long ago. He immediately led the soldiers to that area.

When they approached, they found a worn-out table and a few chairs. There were some books and notebooks scattered on the table, which looked like someone had worked or studied here. Bai Ye quickly flipped through the books and notebooks, trying to find useful information.

After a careful review and comparison, Bai Ye finally found a key clue in a yellowed notebook. The notebook mentioned a secret passage hidden deep in the bunker, which was said to lead to the outside world. Moreover, according to the description and diagram in the notebook, the entrance to this secret passage was likely hidden in a hidden location in the aquarium.

Bai Ye excitedly told the soldiers about this discovery, and they immediately rekindled their hope. Following the instructions in the notes, they began to carefully search for the entrance to the secret passage in the aquarium. After some effort, they finally found a hidden mechanism behind a seemingly ordinary wall. When Bai Ye pressed the mechanism hard, the wall slowly opened to both sides, revealing a narrow passage leading to an unknown area.

The soldiers cheered, they finally found a way to escape from this terrifying bunker. They followed Bai Ye closely and embarked on this unknown journey. Although the road ahead was still full of unknowns and dangers, they knew that as long as they united as one and worked hard, they would be able to find their own way out and hope.

At this moment, the quiet air was torn apart by a strange sound. The fish bones that were originally scattered on the dry mud suddenly seemed to be awakened by an invisible force and began to slowly wriggle. This scene shocked everyone and made their eyes widen. Their heartbeats accelerated, and fear spread throughout their bodies like ice. Those fish bones, no, to be more precise, were skeletons of undead creatures. Under the moonlight, they flashed a faint blue light and exuded a cold breath.

"This is impossible!" a soldier shouted, but his words were soon drowned out by the even more horrific scene around him. These undead creatures reassembled at an extraordinary speed, with bones making creepy snapping sounds, and eventually transformed into terrifying beings of various shapes - some were like giant fish, with empty eye sockets and sharp fangs; others were like twisted human figures, with slender limbs and fingers bent into hooks, pointing directly at people's hearts.

"Quick! Get ready for battle!" Bai Ye's voice was exceptionally calm in the chaos. He quickly pulled out the pistol from his waist and signaled the soldiers to use heavy weapons such as flamethrowers and grenades. Although these undead creatures looked terrifying, they were obviously naturally afraid of fire and explosions.

The soldiers responded quickly. They quickly dispersed and formed an encirclement according to the tacit understanding in training. The roar of the flamethrower instantly resounded throughout the aquarium. The blazing flames were like the fire of hell, devouring every undead creature that approached. The skeletons touched by the flames let out a shrill howl, but even so, they still did not stop attacking, as if driven by some indescribable force.

The sound of grenades exploding came one after another, and each explosion was accompanied by a burst of smoke and fire, blowing the surrounding undead creatures to pieces. However, these undead creatures seemed to have endless vitality. Even if their bodies were blown to pieces, they could reassemble after a moment and continue to attack the soldiers.

The battle became extremely cruel and fierce. The soldiers had to try their best to barely resist the attack of the undead creatures. Their faces were full of fatigue and fear, but more of a desire to survive and a commitment to their comrades. Bai Ye always stood at the forefront. His movements were agile and accurate, and every shot could accurately hit the vital points of the undead creatures. His eyes flashed with a firm light, as if no matter what difficulties he faced, his determination could not be shaken.

However, as time went on, the soldiers' ammunition began to run out, and the flamethrower's fuel was running low. But the number of undead creatures did not seem to decrease. Instead, they became more crazy and ferocious because of the sacrifice of their companions. They began to adopt more cunning and ferocious tactics, trying to break through the soldiers' defenses.

At this moment, Bai Ye suddenly noticed that the undead creatures seemed to be particularly afraid of a certain area in the aquarium. Whenever they approached that area, they would appear extremely hesitant and uneasy. He immediately realized that there might be the key to escape from this terrifying place.

"Everyone, pay attention! Retreat in that direction!" Bai Ye shouted loudly, pointing to that specific area. Upon hearing his words, the soldiers immediately followed his instructions. While resisting the attacks of the undead creatures, they moved in that direction with difficulty.

After a hard battle and unremitting efforts, the soldiers finally successfully retreated to that specific area. When they stepped into that area, the surrounding undead creatures seemed to be suppressed by some force, and they stopped attacking and began to slowly retreat. The soldiers were overjoyed to see this, and they knew that they had finally found a way to escape from this horrible place.

However, just as they were about to leave, a deeper and more terrifying breath suddenly came from the depths of the aquarium. It was a terrifying force beyond any known creature, as if the entire bunker was trembling. The soldiers' hearts rose to their throats again, and they knew that the real challenge had just begun...

Under the shroud of that deep and terrifying atmosphere, the air in the aquarium seemed to freeze, and even breathing became extremely heavy. The soldiers' faces were as pale as paper, and their eyes were full of despair and fear. They clung to each other tightly, as if they could draw a little warmth and courage from each other's body temperature. However, all these struggles and efforts seemed so small and powerless in the face of the impending terror.

At this moment, a deafening roar suddenly sounded, and then a wall of the aquarium collapsed as if hit by an invisible hammer, with rubble and dust flying everywhere. In the flying dust, a huge figure slowly appeared. It was a giant antlered undead that had never been seen before. Its body was so huge that it almost filled the entire space. Its eyes burned with dark green flames, like two death stars, which made people shudder. The huge antlers were like twisted tree trunks, covered with sharp barbs, as if they could tear apart anything that stood in their way.

The soldiers were all terrified when they saw this. Some collapsed to the ground, while others curled up into a ball, tears and screams intertwined, full of despair and helplessness. However, in this abyss of despair, there was a different figure that stood out - Bai Ye.

Facing this sudden giant antlered undead, Bai Ye not only did not show any fear or retreat, but laughed loudly. His laughter was full of unruliness and provocation, as if he was mocking this seemingly invincible undead creature. He slowly raised his right hand and made a middle finger gesture towards the giant antlered undead, as if to say, "What can you do to me?"

This scene was simply unbelievable. When everyone was consumed by fear, Bai Ye challenged the undead creature in an almost crazy way. However, what was even more shocking was that when the giant antlered undead creature touched Bai Ye's provocative middle finger, it trembled as if it had been electrocuted, and the dark green flame in its eyes began to dim.

"What's going on?" The soldiers looked at this scene in shock, their hearts filled with doubts and puzzlement. They had never seen such a strange situation, and they couldn't understand why a simple middle finger gesture could scare away such a terrifying undead creature.

However, the fact was that after the giant antlered undead trembled for a moment, it fell to the ground with a bang, turned into a pool of black smoke, and finally dissipated in the air. It seemed that it was really scared to death by Bai Ye's middle finger gesture.

"Bai Ye. How did you do it?" a soldier asked in a trembling voice, with both fear and admiration in his eyes.

Bai Ye put away his smile, and a trace of barely perceptible fatigue and heaviness flashed in his eyes. He slowly said: "This is not magic or superpowers, but the power of will and faith. When we face fear, if even we are defeated by it, then we really lose. But as long as we have light in our hearts and the belief to persevere, nothing can really defeat us."

The soldiers fell into deep thought upon hearing this. They began to realize that in this battle with the undead creatures, they were not only fighting against external enemies, but also against their own fear and despair. And Bai Ye was the one who lit up the light of hope for them with his actions and beliefs.

"Bai Ye, what should we do next?" asked another soldier. Although his voice was still trembling a little, it no longer had the previous despair.

Bai Ye looked around with a firm and deep gaze. He said, "We can't stay here for too long. We must find a way out of here as soon as possible. I believe that as long as we unite as one, nothing can stop us from moving forward."

The soldiers nodded one after another, cheered themselves up, and continued to move forward according to Bai Ye's instructions. Although the road ahead was still full of unknowns and dangers, they were no longer the group swallowed by fear. They had light in their hearts, faith, and mutual support and encouragement. They knew that as long as they did not give up, they would be able to find their own way out and hope.

In the dim ruins of the aquarium, the soldiers followed the pace of the white night and explored step by step. Their footsteps echoed in the empty space, interweaving with the occasional cold wind sound from afar, forming an unyielding war song.

Bai Ye's eyes were like a sharp sword, piercing through the darkness, looking for any possible way out. He knew that this mission was not only to escape from this terrifying place, but also a test of their will and courage. And he was ready to lead these comrades who were once lost in fear to the light together.

The atmosphere among the soldiers also quietly changed, from the initial despair and helplessness to the current unity and determination. They began to encourage each other, share each other's ammunition and supplies, and face the upcoming challenges together.

Time passed slowly in tension and anxiety, but the soldiers' hearts were filled with unprecedented hope and strength. They knew that as long as they kept their faith and moved forward courageously, nothing could stop them from moving forward.

Finally, after a difficult search, Bai Ye found a secret door hidden deep in the ruins. Behind that door, there seemed to be a road leading to the outside world. He quickly called the soldiers to come closer, ready to push open this door of hope together.

"Are you ready?" Bai Ye's voice sounded in the darkness, with a hint of unquestionable firmness.

The soldiers nodded one after another, their eyes flashing with expectation and determination. Under Bai Ye's leadership, they worked together to push open the door to the unknown world.

Outside the door, there was warm sunshine, fresh air, and long-lost freedom and hope. The soldiers cheered and hugged each other, as if at this moment, all the fear and fatigue disappeared. They knew that they had successfully escaped from the horrible aquarium ruins and welcomed their own new life.
