A Journey of American Comics Starting from the Zombie Universe

Bai Ye looked at the soldier's back as he left, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He knew that this decision might be cruel to the soldier, but in the wasteland world, every decision could be a choice between life and death. He could only hope that the soldier could understand his mistakes and find his own way again.

In the following days, Bai Ye and the soldiers continued their adventure. With the newly assembled communicator, they kept in touch with the outside world, looking for more resources and help. Although their road was full of hardships and dangers, they always maintained firm faith and courage.

However, just as they were about to leave the area, a sudden crisis befell them again. A group of ferocious mutant beasts suddenly appeared in front of them, blocking their way. These mutant beasts were huge and ferocious, with bloodthirsty eyes.

"Everyone be careful!" Bai Ye responded quickly. He picked up his weapon and stood in front of the soldiers. "These mutant beasts are very dangerous. We must be careful when dealing with them."

The soldiers nodded to show that they understood, and they quickly adjusted their status to prepare for this sudden battle. They knew that in this wasteland world, every life was precious, and every battle could determine their life or death.

Bai Ye looked at the mutant beasts in front of him, his heart filled with tension and vigilance. He knew that these mutant beasts were very powerful and fast, and they could only defeat them by relying on teamwork and wisdom.

"Everyone listen to my command and attack together!" Bai Ye shouted loudly, and he quickly formulated a battle plan.

The soldiers responded to Bai Ye's command and quickly adjusted their positions and attack methods. Under Bai Ye's leadership, they started a fierce battle.

The battle was extremely difficult, as the strength and speed of the mutant beasts far exceeded their imagination. However, Bai Ye and the soldiers did not give up. With their firm belief and courage, they continued to fight against the mutant beasts.

Finally, after a fierce battle, they successfully repelled the mutant beasts. Although their bodies were exhausted, their hearts were filled with victory and joy. They knew that this battle not only tested their courage and wisdom, but also made them more united and determined.

However, just as they were about to leave this place, a familiar figure appeared in their sight again. The soldier who was expelled before actually came back, with a hint of embarrassment and uneasiness on his face.

The appearance of the soldier surprised Bai Ye and the soldiers. They did not expect that the expelled soldier would come back at this time, and they did not expect that he would appear at this critical moment.

The soldiers pointed their weapons at him, their eyes full of vigilance and hostility. They knew that in this wasteland world, every stranger could be a potential threat.

However, the soldier did not make any aggressive moves. He just stood there silently, with a hint of embarrassment and uneasiness on his face. He looked at Bai Ye and the soldiers, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to start.

Bai Ye looked at the soldier, his heart full of doubts and curiosity. He didn't know why the soldier came back at this time, let alone what his purpose was. However, looking at his embarrassed and uneasy expression, Bai Ye decided to give him a chance to explain.

"Why did you come back?" Bai Ye's voice was low and serious, his eyes full of questioning and scrutiny.

The soldier took a deep breath, and then said slowly: "Actually... I came back to help you. I know my previous behavior was stupid, but I didn't mean to deceive you. I just... I just wanted to make a joke."

Bai Ye frowned when he heard this. He did not believe the soldier's explanation. However, looking at his sincere and repentant expression, Bai Ye decided to give him another chance.

"Then why did you come back now? Why were you not here when we needed you the most?" Bai Ye asked.

The soldier took another deep breath and explained, "Actually... I had a meal before and then wanted to take a rest. But... but I forgot that I can't do strenuous exercise after a meal, otherwise I will get appendicitis. So... so I sat down and watched you fight."

Bai Ye and the soldiers were stunned when they heard this. They didn't expect that this soldier would miss the battle for this reason. Although this explanation sounded a bit absurd and incredible, looking at his sincere and innocent expression, they still chose to believe it.

"Well, since you're back, let's fight together." Bai Ye sighed helplessly, and then said, "But remember, don't make such boring jokes in the future. In this wasteland world, every life is precious, and we don't have time to waste on such boring things."

The soldier nodded his head to show that he understood, and he quickly adjusted his state and prepared to join the battle. However, when he saw Bai Ye and the soldiers' exhausted bodies, he hesitated again.

"You...you have been fighting for so long and your bodies are very tired. How about...how about I go and find some food and water for you?" the soldier suggested.

Bai Ye looked at the soldier and couldn't help but feel touched. Although the soldier's previous behavior was a bit foolish and irresponsible, he now showed real courage and responsibility. He knew that in this wasteland world, every help was precious, and everyone who was willing to contribute to the team was worthy of respect.

"Okay, then go find us some food and water first." Bai Ye nodded in agreement, "But remember, be careful and don't put yourself in danger."

The soldier nodded his head repeatedly to show that he understood, and then he quickly turned around and left the camp. He knew that what he had to do now was to find food and water as soon as possible to provide the necessary support for the team.

In the following time, Bai Ye and the soldiers continued their battle. Although their bodies were exhausted, their hearts were full of firm belief and courage. They knew that only by uniting as one and facing difficulties together could they defeat this cruel and desperate wasteland world.

The soldier was also constantly searching for food and water. He traveled between the ruins and the wilderness, constantly looking for edible plants and animals. Although his process was full of hardships and dangers, he always maintained a firm belief and courage.

Finally, after some effort, he succeeded in finding some food and water, which he quickly brought back to the camp to provide the necessary support for the team.

Bai Ye looked at the food and water brought by the soldier, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional. He knew that although the soldier had made a mistake before, he now made up for his mistake with his actions. He understood that in this wasteland world, everyone who is willing to contribute to the team is worthy of respect.

In the following days, Bai Ye and the soldiers continued their exploration. They kept moving forward with the newly found food and water. Although their road was full of hardships and dangers, they always maintained firm faith and courage.

However, just as they were about to leave the area, a sudden crisis befell them again. A group of ferocious mutant beasts suddenly appeared in front of them, blocking their way. These mutant beasts were huge and ferocious, with bloodthirsty eyes.

Faced with this sudden crisis, Bai Ye and the soldiers did not feel fear or despair. They knew that only by uniting as one and facing difficulties together could they defeat this cruel and desperate wasteland world. They quickly adjusted their status and attack methods to prepare for the upcoming battle.

In that dangerous wasteland, Bai Ye and his soldiers are facing unprecedented challenges. When the soldier who was once expelled returns with food and water, it should be a moment of hope for the team, but due to a sudden change, this hope is fleeting.

Although the appearance of the soldier brought much-needed supplies, Bai Ye's eyes did not show any joy. He looked at the soldier with complex emotions in his eyes - both gratitude for the food and deep dissatisfaction with his previous behavior. When the team's survival is at stake, personal mistakes often become a fatal weakness.

"You," Bai Ye's voice was low and powerful, and every word was like a heavy hammer hitting the soldiers' hearts, "Do you know how much trouble your behavior has caused us? The moment you jumped off the cliff as a joke, we all thought you were dead. Can you understand that kind of despair and fear?"

The soldier's face turned pale in an instant. He lowered his head, clutching the corner of his clothes tightly with both hands, and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "I... I was just joking. I didn't expect it to be so serious."

"Are you kidding?" Bai Ye's tone became increasingly severe. "In this world, joking is equivalent to suicide! Every rash action may lead to our entire group being doomed! You are not only irresponsible to yourself, but also to the entire team!"

The soldier's body began to tremble slightly. He tried to explain: "I... I just..."

But Bai Ye did not give him a chance to continue: "Enough! Your behavior has proven your immaturity and selfishness. In this team, what we need are partners who can face difficulties together and support each other, not burdens that may fail at any time!"

The soldier's face was almost transparent, and his eyes were filled with despair and shame. He knew he was wrong, extremely wrong, but he didn't expect that this mistake would make him lose everyone's trust and respect, and even make him unable to stand in this cruel world.

"I...I..." The soldier stammered, but could no longer utter a complete sentence. Suddenly, his body trembled violently, as if he was hit by an invisible force, and he collapsed to the ground, his face turned purple, and his breathing became rapid and weak.

Bai Ye and the soldiers were stunned by this sudden change. They gathered around and tried to save the dying life. However, it was too late. A trace of regret and unwillingness flashed in the soldiers' eyes, and then they completely lost their light.

"What...what happened to him?" a soldier asked in disbelief.

"Qi Ji..." Bai Ye sighed heavily, "It's because of excessive shame and self-blame that caused physical discomfort."

The soldiers looked at each other with mixed feelings. They had never expected that a simple joke would lead to such serious consequences. Although they were angry and disappointed with the soldier's behavior, they still felt an indescribable sadness when they saw him die like this.

"What...what should we do?" asked another soldier.

Bai Ye was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "He is our companion after all. No matter how big a mistake he made, we should give him the final respect. Let's find a place to bury him."

The soldiers nodded in agreement and began to look for a suitable place to bury the comrade who had fought alongside them. During this process, the atmosphere between them became extremely heavy, and everyone was immersed in sadness and reflection.

After some effort, they finally found a relatively safe place and began to dig the grave. During this process, no one spoke, only the rustling sound of the shovel rubbing against the soil and the occasional low sigh.

When the grave was dug, the soldiers carefully placed the soldier's body in it and began to fill it with soil. During this process, Bai Ye stood silently by, his eyes full of complex emotions. He knew that although this tragedy was heartbreaking, it also sounded a wake-up call for the team - in this cruel world, every decision may affect the survival of the team, and they must be more cautious and united.

When the graves were filled, the soldiers took off their hats and saluted, mourning for their deceased companions. Although their hearts were filled with sadness and reluctance, they also understood that life must go on, and they must cheer up and move on.

On the way back to the camp, the atmosphere among the soldiers became extremely solemn. They were no longer chatting and laughing as before, but were immersed in their own thoughts. Bai Ye walked in front, his steps were firm and powerful, as if telling everyone that no matter how many difficulties and challenges lay ahead, they must move forward courageously.

As night fell, a blazing bonfire lit up in the camp. The soldiers sat around the fire, silently enjoying this rare warmth and peace. Although they still had sadness and regret in their hearts, under the illumination of this warmth, they seemed to have found new strength and courage.

"Bai Ye," a soldier broke the silence, "We...what should we do next?"

Bai Ye raised his head, looked at the bright starry sky, and said slowly: "We must keep moving forward and find our hope and future. Although there will be difficulties and challenges in the process, as long as we unite as one and support each other, nothing can stop us from moving forward."

The soldiers nodded in agreement, and hope ignited in their eyes again. They knew that although the soldier had left, his lesson would always be remembered in their hearts - in this cruel world, every decision could affect the survival of the team, and they must be more cautious and united.

As the night deepened, the soldiers lay down to rest and prepare for the new challenges of tomorrow. Bai Ye sat alone by the campfire, looking at the bright starry sky, his heart full of longing and expectation for the future. He knew that although this tragedy made them lose a companion, it also made them more determined and confident to move forward. In this wasteland, only by moving forward bravely and never giving up can they find their own hope and future.
