A Journey of American Comics Starting from the Zombie Universe

Bai Ye led the soldiers forward. The sea breeze under the night sky blew across their faces with a salty and humid breath. The beach under their feet was fine and soft, but under the moonlight, it seemed a little deserted and lonely. The waves hit the shore from time to time, making a low sound, as if telling an ancient and mysterious story.

Bai Ye held the map tightly in his hand, frowning, trying to find the right direction in the dark night. The soldiers followed closely behind him, their steps firm and powerful, their breath turned into white mist in the cold wind and dissipated in the night sky.

"Bai Ye, are we going in the wrong direction?" A soldier suddenly stopped and asked in confusion. His voice was particularly clear in the silent night, breaking the tranquility around him.

Bai Ye looked up into the distance, his eyes as sharp as torches, as if he was searching for something. "No, we are not wrong." He answered in a deep voice, with an unquestionable firmness in his tone, "Keep going, we are not far from our destination."

The soldiers nodded and set out on their journey again. They walked along the beach, the sand under their feet made a slight friction sound, which intertwined with the sound of the waves, forming a unique nocturne.

At this moment, a soldier suddenly pointed forward and exclaimed: "Look! What is that?"

Everyone looked in the direction of his finger and saw a crack suddenly appeared on the beach ahead. The crack was several meters wide and bottomless, like a wound of nature, lying there quietly, waiting for the brave to explore.

"Where... does this lead to?" another soldier asked curiously.

Bai Ye stared at the crack, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes. "I don't know, but now that we have encountered it, we can't miss this opportunity." He said decisively, "Let's go down and take a look."

The soldiers nodded in agreement. They carefully climbed down along the edge of the crack. As they went deeper, the light around them gradually dimmed, but they did not retreat. Instead, they became more determined to explore.

Finally, they arrived at the bottom of the crevice. It was a spacious and mysterious space, surrounded by all kinds of strange rocks and corals. What was even more surprising was that the air here was filled with a light salty fragrance, as if they were in the embrace of the ocean.

"Where...are we?" A soldier looked around with a hint of disbelief in his voice.

"I don't know, but this place is definitely unusual." Bai Ye said in a deep voice, "Everyone be careful and stay alert."

Upon hearing this, the soldiers nodded, gripped their weapons tightly, and were ready to deal with any possible danger.

At this moment, a faint light suddenly came from not far away. Everyone looked in the direction of the light and saw a transparent barrier standing quietly there. Inside the barrier was a huge underwater aquarium. In the aquarium, various marine creatures shuttled freely in the water, and the colorful corals and seaweeds looked particularly beautiful under the light.

"This is... an underwater aquarium?" a soldier shouted in surprise.

"That's right, and it looks like we have arrived in the ocean next to it." Bai Ye stared at the barrier, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes, "But why is there an underwater aquarium here? And how did we get in?"

The soldiers looked puzzled upon hearing this. They looked around, trying to find the answer. However, there were no other clues except the barrier and the marine life in the aquarium.

"Bai Ye, what should we do?" asked a soldier.

Bai Ye was silent for a moment, then said: "Now that we have come here, we can't return empty-handed. Let's go in and take a look, maybe we can find some clues."

The soldiers nodded in agreement. They carefully passed through the barrier and entered the underwater aquarium. As soon as they stepped in, they felt like they were in another world. The surrounding water gently brushed against their bodies, bringing an unprecedented cool feeling.

In the aquarium, various marine creatures swam around them, including colorful tropical fish, huge and docile sea turtles, and corals and seaweeds of various shapes. All of these made the soldiers feel extremely surprised and shocked.

However, as they explored deeper, they found a more surprising discovery. They saw various parts and fragments scattered at the bottom of the aquarium. These parts were of different sizes and shapes, some looked like mechanical parts, and some looked like electronic components. They lay there quietly, as if telling the story of what had happened here.

"What... are these?" A soldier squatted down, picked up a piece of parts and looked at it carefully.

"I'm not sure, but it looks like the remains of some kind of equipment." Bai Ye said in a deep voice, "This should have been a high-tech place, but I don't know why it has become like this."

The soldiers nodded in agreement. They continued to explore the aquarium, trying to find more clues. However, apart from the parts and marine life, they found nothing else.

"Bai Ye, what should we do next?" asked a soldier.

Bai Ye stared at the parts, with a thoughtful look in his eyes. "Let's collect these parts first, maybe they can tell us some useful information." He said, "Then, we can find a way to leave here."

The soldiers nodded in agreement. They began to search for the parts in the aquarium and collected them one by one. As they collected more and more parts, they found that there seemed to be some connection between these parts. They seemed to be part of a large device, and this device was probably the core of the high-tech place that used to be here.

"Bai Ye, look at these parts, they seem to be..." A soldier pointed at the parts in his hand and said to Bai Ye.

Bai Ye took the parts and examined them carefully. Then, a look of sudden enlightenment appeared on his face. "Yes, these parts are indeed part of a large device." He said, "And I guess this device is probably an underwater detector or a submarine."

The soldiers were surprised when they heard this. They didn't expect that such high-tech equipment was hidden here.

"So what should we do now?" asked a soldier.

Bai Ye pondered for a moment, then said: "Let's sort out these parts first, and then see if we can find the control room or cockpit of this device. Maybe there will be more clues there."

The soldiers nodded in agreement. They began to search the aquarium carefully, trying to find the mysterious control room or cockpit. However, apart from the parts and marine life, they found nothing else.

"Bai Ye, have we come to the wrong place?" a soldier said somewhat frustratedly.

Bai Ye shook his head and said firmly: "No, we are not in the wrong place. There must be some secret hidden here, but we just haven't discovered it yet."

The soldiers heard this and cheered up and continued to search in the aquarium. Time passed by, and their patience and perseverance were constantly tested. However, just when they were about to give up, an unexpected discovery rekindled their hope. A faint light suddenly flickered in a corner of the aquarium. Although the light was faint, it was particularly eye-catching in the darkness. Everyone looked in the direction of the light and saw a small control console with various indicator lights and buttons flashing on it.

"Is this... the control room?" a soldier shouted in surprise.

"Yes, this should be the control room." Bai Ye said in a deep voice, "Let's go over and take a look."

The soldiers quickened their pace upon hearing this and came to the control panel. They carefully examined the control panel, trying to find its function and purpose. However, the control panel looked very complicated, with all kinds of buttons and indicator lights on it, which was dazzling.

"Bai Ye, what should we do?" asked a soldier.

Bai Ye stared at the console, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes. "Let's try to start it first." He said, "Maybe it can tell us some useful information."

The soldiers nodded in agreement. Following Bai Ye's instructions, they began to try to start the console. However, the console seemed very stubborn, and no matter how they tried, they couldn't get it to start.

"This...what should we do?" a soldier said anxiously.

Bai Ye did not give up, he continued to study the console carefully. Finally, he found a hidden button. The button was very small, and the color was very close to the rest of the console. If you didn't look closely, it would be difficult to find its existence.

"Everyone, please move aside. I found a hidden button." Bai Ye said.

The soldiers heard this and moved aside to give Bai Ye enough space. Bai Ye took a deep breath and pressed the hidden button hard.

As the button was pressed, the indicator light on the console suddenly began to flash. Then, a virtual screen appeared in front of them. The screen displayed various data and images, which looked very complicated.

"What...what is this?" a soldier asked in surprise.

"I'm not sure, but it looks like the operating system of this device." Bai Ye said in a deep voice, "Let's try to see if we can find any useful information."

The soldiers nodded in agreement. They began to carefully study the data and images on the screen, trying to find useful clues. However, the operating system seemed very complicated, and it took them a long time to barely figure out some basic operations.

"Bai Ye, look here." A soldier pointed to an area on the screen and said to Bai Ye.

Bai Ye took the mouse and carefully examined the area. Then, a surprised expression appeared on his face. "This is... the log record of the device?" he said, "Let's take a look at what's inside."

The soldiers gathered around and checked the logs. The logs detailed all the operations and data of the device from the time it was started to the present. They read the records carefully, trying to find useful clues.

However, as they read deeper, their faces gradually became solemn, because these records contained some very terrible things.

"This...it says here that this equipment was once used for illegal experiments?" a soldier shouted in surprise.

"That's right, and the subject of the experiment is actually a human being." Bai Ye said in a deep voice, "It seems that we have indeed discovered an incredible secret."

The soldiers were all shocked when they heard this. They had never expected that this seemingly peaceful underwater aquarium would hide such a terrible secret.

"So what should we do now?" asked a soldier.

Bai Ye stared at the records on the screen, with a thoughtful look in his eyes. "We must reveal this secret and let everyone know what happened here." He said, "But before that, we must first find the cockpit or exit of this device and leave here."

The soldiers nodded in agreement. They began to search the aquarium carefully, trying to find the mysterious cockpit or exit. However, there was almost nothing here except those parts and marine life, which made the Octonauts very disappointed. Where can they smoke e-cigarettes now?

Bai Ye led the soldiers forward. The sea breeze under the night sky blew across their faces with a salty and humid breath. The beach under their feet was fine and soft, but under the moonlight, it seemed a little deserted and lonely. The waves hit the shore from time to time, making a low sound, as if telling an ancient and mysterious story.
