A Journey of American Comics Starting from the Zombie Universe

The mysterious figure did not answer his question, but slowly walked in front of him and stopped. He looked at Bai Ye quietly, as if studying his body and soul.

"What...what do you want to do?" Bai Ye asked again, with a hint of fear and despair in his voice.

The mysterious man finally spoke, his voice low and hoarse: "Are you the one who tried to uncover the secret of the golden toilet?"

Bai Ye was shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect that this mysterious person actually knew his identity and purpose. He tried to stay calm, but his voice was still trembling: "It's... it's me, so what?"

The mysterious man smiled slightly, with a hint of sarcasm and contempt in his voice: "Do you know? The golden toilet is a sacred object of our mysterious forces. It contains infinite power and secrets. Anyone who tries to uncover its secrets will be severely punished."

Bai Ye heard this and felt a strong sense of anger and unwillingness. He knew that he could not just succumb to the threat of this mysterious force. He had to find a way to uncover the secret of the golden toilet and save his own life and the lives of his soldiers.

"I won't give in!" Bai Ye shouted loudly, with a hint of determination and courage in his voice, "I will find a way to uncover your true identity and the secret of the golden toilet!"

The mysterious man sneered when he heard this. He slowly raised his hand, and a dazzling light flashed on his fingers. He gently waved his fingers, and a powerful energy wave shot out from his fingers and hit Bai Ye's chest directly.

Bai Ye felt a sharp pain in his chest, and his body seemed to be torn apart by a powerful force. He fell to the ground in pain, his body twitching continuously. He felt that his life was gradually slipping away, but he still clenched his fists tightly, unwilling to succumb to the threat of this mysterious force.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a warm force surging from his body. This force seemed to come from the depths of his soul, with a mysterious and powerful force. It quickly repaired his damaged body and soul, allowing him to stand up again.

"You...how could you..." The mysterious figure looked at Bai Ye in surprise, with a hint of disbelief and horror in his voice.

Bai Ye was also somewhat surprised and puzzled. He didn't know where this power came from, but it did save his life and allowed him to regain strength and courage.

"I... I don't know either." Bai Ye answered honestly, "But I know that I can't just succumb to your threats. I must find a way to uncover the secret of the golden toilet and save my own life and the lives of the soldiers."

When the mysterious man heard this, a fierce light flashed in his eyes. He knew that Bai Ye was no longer someone who could be easily threatened and controlled. He had to take more severe measures to eliminate this potential threat.

However, at this moment, a sudden loud noise broke the silence of the entire space. Then, a powerful energy wave came from afar, knocking the mysterious figure and Bai Ye to the ground.

Bai Ye took the opportunity to stand up, holding the weapon tightly in his hand and looking around vigilantly. He knew that the threat from this mysterious force was not over, and he had to remain vigilant and courageous to survive this crisis.

Just then, he heard a familiar sound of footsteps. He turned around immediately and saw soldiers walking out of the darkness in the distance, with firm expressions and courage on their faces.

"Bai Ye! We are coming!" the soldiers shouted loudly, with a hint of excitement and pride in their voices, "We will not let you face the threat of this mysterious force alone!"

Bai Ye looked at the soldiers' determined eyes and courage, and a strong feeling of emotion and strength surged in his heart. He knew that he was not alone. He had a group of loyal soldiers and friends who were willing to fight for his life and glory.

"Everyone be careful!" Bai Ye warned in a low voice, "This mysterious force is very powerful. We must unite as one to defeat them."

The soldiers nodded in agreement after hearing this. They followed Bai Ye closely, ready for the upcoming battle. They knew that this battle was not only to save Bai Ye's life, but also to defend their honor and dignity.

The mysterious man looked at the soldiers coming, with a flash of fear and uneasiness in his eyes. He knew that he could no longer easily control the situation. He had to take more drastic measures to eliminate this potential threat.

However, at this moment, a dazzling light shot from afar, instantly illuminating the entire space. Then, a brave warrior in armor walked out of the light, holding a huge sword in his hand, emitting dazzling light.

"I am the guardian of this mysterious power." The brave warrior said loudly, "How dare you try to uncover the secret of the golden toilet? This is a blasphemy against our sacred power. You must accept severe punishment!"

Bai Ye looked at the brave warrior's determined eyes and powerful momentum, and a strong sense of crisis surged in his heart. He knew that this brave warrior was no ordinary person, and he had to go all out to defeat this powerful enemy.

"Everyone be careful!" Bai Ye reminded again in a low voice, "This brave warrior is very powerful. We must unite as one to defeat him."

The soldiers held their weapons tightly, their eyes flashing with tension and confusion. Bai Ye looked ahead, there was nothing there, only the endless sea of ​​sand shining with dazzling white light under the scorching sun. Everything just now - the golden toilet, the mysterious figure, the brave warrior, and the sudden energy fluctuation, seemed to be just an illusion, a short but realistic dream.

"We... are still in the desert?" A soldier's voice trembled slightly, breaking the silence around him.

Bai Ye nodded, his eyes deep. "Yes, we are still here. It seems that we are too tired and have hallucinations." He tried to make his voice sound firm to calm the soldiers' anxiety.

The soldiers looked at each other, their eyes showing both relief and confusion. What they had just experienced was too real. How could that touch, that fear, that power fluctuation be just an illusion? But the scene before them clearly told them that it was indeed the case.

"Leader, what should we do next?" asked another soldier, his eyes full of anticipation, as if he was seeking an answer that would allow them to move forward.

Bai Ye took a deep breath and looked around. The desert was still vast and boundless, the sun was high in the sky, scorching the earth, and the air was filled with scorching heat. He knew that in this desert, every step might hide danger, but retreat was definitely not an option for them.

"Let's keep moving forward." Bai Ye's voice was firm and powerful. "Although everything just now may be an illusion, our goal has not changed. We must find water, find a way out, and leave here alive."

The soldiers nodded when they heard this, and hope rekindled in their eyes. They reorganized their equipment, checked water and food, and prepared to set out on the journey again.

Bai Ye walked at the front of the team, but his heart was not as calm as it seemed. He understood that the hallucinations were probably caused by the team's long-term survival in extreme conditions, which made them physically and mentally exhausted. The brain began to protect itself and created some seemingly reasonable scenarios to escape reality. But this did not mean that they could be careless, because in this desert, any small negligence could have fatal consequences.

As the team went deeper into the desert, the scenery began to change. In the originally monotonous yellow sand, a little green occasionally appeared, which was the proof of the tenacious survival of life in the extreme environment. Bai Ye and the soldiers saw this and couldn't help but feel a little respect in their hearts, which also strengthened their determination to survive.

However, at this moment, a sudden sandstorm broke the tranquility of the desert. The strong wind blew up thousands of piles of snow, and the yellow sand filled the sky, blocking out the sun. Bai Ye immediately ordered the team to squat on the spot and cover their mouths and noses with clothes to prevent the intrusion of sand and dust.

The sandstorm lasted for a full hour. When the last wisp of sand fell, the desert returned to tranquility, but everything in front of us had changed drastically. The originally clearly visible path was covered by yellow sand, and the sense of direction became extremely blurred.

"Leader, where should we go?" a soldier asked anxiously.

Bai Ye was silent for a moment, thinking quickly in his mind. He knew that getting lost in the desert was the most dangerous, but they could not stop and had to keep moving forward to find hope for life.

"Follow the sun." Bai Ye made the decision. "In the desert, the sun is the best compass. If we keep heading east, we should be able to find traces of human activities."

The soldiers nodded after hearing this, followed Bai Ye's instructions, and set out on their journey again. This time, they walked more cautiously, taking every step carefully, for fear of missing any possible clues.

Time seemed to have lost its meaning in the desert. Only the movement of the sun and the fatigue of the body reminded them of the passage of time. As night fell, the temperature in the desert dropped sharply and the cold wind bit their bones. Bai Ye and the soldiers sat around a campfire, sharing their only food and water to keep each other warm.

"Leader, can we really get out?" A soldier asked with some uncertainty in his voice.

Bai Ye looked at him, a hint of tenderness flashing in his eyes. "We can definitely get out of this." His voice was firm and powerful, "As long as we unite as one and don't give up hope, nothing can stop us."

The soldiers nodded when they heard this, and hope rekindled in their eyes. They leaned on each other tightly and spent one cold night after another.

In this way, they trudged forward in the desert, experiencing countless life-and-death tests. Sometimes, they encountered dry riverbeds, and sometimes saw abandoned camel caravans, which became their motivation to move forward. They knew that every clue they found meant they were one step closer to hope.

Finally, on a clear morning, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated the clouds and shone on their exhausted faces, they saw an oasis looming ahead. It was a green place with water, trees and the breath of life.

"We're here!" Bai Ye shouted excitedly, his voice filled with indescribable joy and pride.

The soldiers stood up one after another, cheered, and ran towards the oasis. They knew that at this moment, they had finally defeated the desert, defeated themselves, and found hope for life.

The moment they stepped into the oasis, everyone felt an unprecedented sense of relaxation and satisfaction. They lay on the soft grass, looking up at the blue sky and white clouds, their hearts filled with awe and gratitude for life.

Bai Ye stood on a high place, looking at this vibrant oasis, feeling a lot of emotions in his heart. He knew that this experience would become the most precious wealth in their lives, teaching them the power of persistence, courage and unity.

"We did it." Bai Ye said softly. Although his voice was weak, it was full of power.

The soldiers nodded one after another with tears in their eyes when they heard this. They knew that this experience not only helped them get out of the desert, but also helped them get out of their inner fear and confusion and find their true selves.

In the following days, they recuperated in the oasis, waiting for rescue. When the rescue team finally found them, each of them announced their victory and rebirth to the world with the brightest smile and the most determined eyes.

After returning to civilized society, Bai Ye and the soldiers became legends. Their stories were widely spread, inspiring countless people to never give up and move forward bravely in the face of difficulties. The desert that once made them suffer became more mysterious and desirable because of them.

However, for Bai Ye and the soldiers, that experience has already surpassed the simple challenge of survival. It taught them to cherish life, understand the power of teamwork, and let them understand what true courage and persistence are. In the days to come, no matter how great the difficulties they encounter, they will carry this belief and strength and move forward fearlessly.

Bai Ye suddenly opened his eyes and found himself still in the vast desert. Everything around him was still desolate and hopeless. The oasis and vitality of that moment were just another beautiful fantasy he had woven in his extreme fatigue and desire. Sweat slid down his forehead, dripped into the thirsty sand, and disappeared in an instant, just like the fire of hope that had just ignited in his heart, which was instantly extinguished by the ruthless reality.

He sat up slowly and looked around. The soldiers were either sitting or lying down, with the same confusion and loss on their faces. The "rebirth" they had just experienced turned out to be just an even crueler dream, which once again dealt a heavy blow to their hearts.

Bai Ye took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He knew that he couldn't fall down at this moment. As the leader, he had to be the spiritual pillar of the team.

"Everyone..." He began. Although his voice was a little hoarse, he tried his best to remain calm. "Although we are back to the starting point, our will has not been defeated. Remember, the real oasis is not in front of us, but in our hearts. As long as we have hope in our hearts, we will definitely find a way out."

The soldiers looked up upon hearing this, and a faint spark of hope rekindled in their eyes. They knew that Bai Ye was right. In this ruthless desert, they had already lost too much, but the only thing they could not lose was their desire for life and hope for the future.

So, they stood up again, shook off the dust on their bodies, reorganized their equipment, and prepared to set out on the journey again. Although the road ahead was unknown, they believed that as long as there was light in their hearts, it would illuminate the way forward.

Bai Ye walked at the front of the team, his back looking unusually determined in the setting sun.
