A Journey of American Comics Starting from the Zombie Universe

Chapter 548 Modified Report
The laboratory lights looked particularly bright in the night, like an isolated island shining alone in the surrounding dark ocean. The experimenters walked out of the laboratory one after another, their footsteps echoing in the corridor, then gradually going away, and finally disappearing into the night.

Bai Ye stood alone in the center of the laboratory, his eyes falling on the neatly stacked reports. He walked over quietly and gently touched the cover of the report with his fingers, as if he could feel the knowledge and secrets hidden under the paper. He picked up a report and began to read it carefully, sometimes frowning and sometimes relaxing.

The soldiers stood at the door of the laboratory, their figures looking a little stiff under the light. Their eyes turned to Bai Ye from time to time, but no one spoke, and the entire laboratory was immersed in a strange silence.

Time seems to be frozen here, and every second seems extremely long. Bai Ye flipped through the report page by page. His face showed no expression, but the light in his eyes became brighter and brighter. He seemed to be looking for something, or confirming something.

Suddenly, he stopped what he was doing and fixed his gaze on a certain page. His brows were furrowed, as if he had discovered something unusual. He raised his head and looked at the soldiers, a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes.

"Have any of you touched these reports?" Bai Ye's voice echoed in the silent laboratory.

The soldiers looked at each other, but no one answered. There were confused expressions on their faces, and they obviously didn't understand why Bai Ye asked this.

Bai Ye's eyes swept over the soldiers' faces, and then fell back on the report. He read carefully again, trying to figure out what the problem was. His fingers lightly slid across the page, as if playing a silent piece of music.

At this moment, a soldier suddenly spoke: "Sir, we have not touched these reports. No one has come in here since you left."

Bai Ye didn't speak, just nodded. He continued to flip through the report, but the doubts in his heart became more and more serious. He seemed to be looking for an answer, an answer that could explain everything before him.

Time passed slowly, and Bai Ye's face became more and more solemn. The report in his hand seemed to be getting heavier and heavier, as if it contained too many secrets and unknowns.

Suddenly, he stopped what he was doing and looked up at the soldiers. His eyes flashed with determination, as if he had found the answer.

"These reports have been tampered with." Bai Ye's voice was low and firm.

The soldiers all showed surprised expressions when they heard this. They couldn't believe their ears. In their memories, this has always been the safest place. How could anyone dare to tamper with reports here?
"Sir, how is this possible?" A soldier couldn't help but ask.

Bai Ye didn't answer him, just handed him the report in his hand. The soldier took the report and read it carefully. His face gradually became serious, and he obviously discovered the problem.

"Sir, this has indeed been tampered with." The soldier's voice was trembling.

Bai Ye nodded, his gaze becoming deeper. He was thinking about the meaning behind it all and what he should do next.

The soldiers stood aside and looked at Bai Ye silently. They knew that all they could do at this time was wait. Waiting for Bai Ye to make a decision, waiting for everything that might happen next.

The lights in the laboratory were still bright, but the atmosphere became increasingly tense. Bai Ye stood in the center of the laboratory, like an isolated island, standing alone in the turbulent undercurrent around him. His eyes were firm and deep, as if he could penetrate all the fog and find the truth.

Time seems to be extremely long at this moment, and every second is full of unknowns and variables. Bai Ye stood there quietly, as if waiting for an important moment to arrive. The soldiers stood aside silently, their eyes focused on Bai Ye, as if waiting for his guidance.

Finally, Bai Ye moved. He raised his head and looked into the depths of the laboratory. His eyes shone with determination, as if he had made a decision.

"We need to recheck these reports and find out the tampered parts." Bai Ye's voice was low and powerful.

The soldiers took action immediately upon hearing this. They began to carefully examine every report, looking for any possible clues. The atmosphere in the laboratory became more tense, but everyone was focused on their tasks. No one spoke, only the sound of turning paper echoed.

Time passed little by little, and Bai Ye paced back and forth in the laboratory. His eyes swept over each soldier, as if he was looking for something. His heart was full of doubts and uneasiness, but he knew that he must remain calm and rational at this time.

Suddenly, a soldier shouted: "Sir, I found it!"

Everyone's eyes were focused on him. He was holding a report in his hand and had an excited expression on his face.

"The last page of this report was torn out!" The soldier's voice trembled.

Bai Ye immediately walked over and took the report from the soldier's hand. He looked at the torn page carefully, frowning.

"What's recorded on this page?" Bai Ye asked.

The soldier shook his head and said, "I don't know, but that must be the point."

Bai Ye nodded, his eyes becoming more determined. He knew that this clue would be his key to solving the mystery.

In the following time, Bai Ye and the soldiers began to pursue the torn report with all their strength. They checked every corner of the laboratory and interviewed anyone who might know what was going on.

"Everyone come in!"

Bai Ye called the experimenters together again, and the atmosphere in the laboratory suddenly became tense. The originally quiet air seemed to be filled with an indescribable sense of depression. The light casts mottled shadows on everyone's face, making their expressions appear more solemn.

The experimenters entered the laboratory one after another, and their footsteps echoed in the empty room, seeming a little heavy. They stood in front of Bai Ye, with a hint of uneasiness and doubt in their eyes.

Bai Ye stood in the center of the laboratory, his eyes scanning everyone's faces, as if looking for something. His face was serious and solemn, and it was obvious that this incident had a big impact on him.

"I know you are all busy, but this matter is very important." Bai Ye's voice was low and powerful, and he looked directly at the experimenters, "We need to find the torn report, it may be related to The success or failure of the entire experiment.”

The experimenters looked at each other and no one spoke. They were obviously frightened by Bai Ye's words and realized the seriousness of the situation.

"I know it may be difficult, but we must do our best." Bai Ye continued, "If anyone knows any clues, or has seen the report, please tell me immediately."

There was silence in the laboratory, only Bai Ye's voice echoed. The experimenters were thinking hard, trying to recall any information that might be relevant to that report. Suddenly, an experimenter spoke: "Sir, I remembered. I accidentally tore off a page of that report when I was sorting it out."

His voice rang out in the laboratory, like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples. Everyone's eyes were focused on him, and Bai Ye also looked at him.

"Are you sure?" Bai Ye's voice was a little tight.

The experimenter nodded and said, "Yes, sir. When I was sorting out the report that day, I accidentally tore off that page. I thought it was just some insignificant data, so I didn't pay attention to it."

Bai Ye didn't speak, just stared at the experimenter closely. His heart was filled with doubts and disappointment, but he knew he had to stay calm at this time.

"Can you be sure on which day it was torn off?" Bai Ye asked.

The experimenter thought for a while and said, "It must have been last Wednesday. I remember that I worked overtime until late that day and compiled a lot of reports."

Bai Ye nodded, he already had a rough idea in his mind. He knew that the torn report might hide important information, and the key now was to find out what was on that page.

"We need to find that page." Bai Ye's voice was firm and powerful. "Does any of you still remember the contents of that report? Or do you have a backup?"

The experimenters fell silent again, trying to remember. But that report has been around for so long and is so complex that no one can fully remember it.

At this moment, an experimenter suddenly spoke: "Sir, I remember that the report was about test data of a new type of material. I may be able to find some backup in my computer."

When Bai Ye heard this, he immediately looked at him, a glimmer of hope flashing in his eyes.

"Go find it quickly!" he ordered.

The experimenter immediately took action. He ran to his computer and started searching. Everyone else was busy in the lab, trying to find any information that might be relevant to the report.

Time passed little by little, and Bai Ye stood in the center of the laboratory, his eyes scanning everyone. His heart was full of anticipation and nervousness, and he knew that this incident might have a major impact on the entire experiment.

Finally, the experimenter found the backup file. He shouted excitedly: "Sir, I found it!"

Bai Ye immediately walked over and looked at the data on the computer screen. His eyes sparkled, as if he saw the truth.

"Is this the content of the torn page?" Bai Ye asked.

The experimenter nodded and said, "Yes, sir. That's what that report is all about."

Bai Ye didn't speak, just looked at the data on the screen carefully. His heart was full of doubts and confusion. These data seemed to be somewhat inconsistent with what he had known before.

He knew that this incident was just the beginning, and there would be more mysteries waiting for him to solve. But he also believes that as long as they don't give up their efforts, the truth will eventually surface.

The lights in the laboratory are still bright, but the atmosphere has become completely different.

The experimenters returned to the computer and began to carefully compare and check the found report backup. Their fingers were tapping rapidly on the keyboard, and the data on the screen was constantly scrolling and changing, as if telling some secret.

Bai Ye stood aside, his eyes scanning everyone's faces, trying to read some information from their expressions. But the faces of the experimenters were only focused and serious, without any unnecessary expressions.

Time seemed to slow down very slowly at this moment, and every second seemed extremely long. Bai Ye could feel his heartbeat speeding up, and his heart was filled with anticipation and tension.

Finally, an experimenter spoke: "Sir, after comparison and inspection, we found that the torn report was not something important."

His voice echoed in the laboratory, breaking the previous silence. Everyone looked at him, waiting for his further explanation.

"This report is mainly about the preliminary test data of a new type of material, and it does not involve any key results or conclusions." The experimenter continued, "Moreover, these data are not much different from other results we have obtained before. "

When Bai Ye heard this, the tension in his heart eased a little. He nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."

Although this result made him a little disappointed, he also knew that sometimes the truth of things was so simple, but he himself tended to complicate it easily.

The experimenters also seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. They began to pack up their things and prepare to end their work for the day. But Bai Ye knew that although this incident had come to an end, their experiments and research were still continuing, and there were more challenges and difficulties waiting for them to face.

"Okay, everyone has worked hard." Bai Ye's voice rang in the laboratory, "That's it for today. Let's go back and have a good rest."

The experimenters nodded and left the laboratory one after another. Bai Ye stood there, watching them leave. His heart was full of emotion and thinking. He knew that although this incident was over, the revelation and impact it brought to him would stay with him for a long time.

He turned and walked to his office, preparing to sort out today's affairs. He knew that although this incident had some twists and turns, it was still a near miss. He believes that as long as they continue to work hard, they will be able to achieve better results.

The office door closed gently, and Bai Ye sat at his desk. He turned on his computer and started sorting out today's data and reports. His heart was filled with calmness and determination. He knew that the road ahead was still long, but he was ready to face any challenges and difficulties.

Night gradually fell, and the laboratory lights looked particularly bright in the night. But Bai Ye knows that this is just the beginning. In the days to come, they will face more challenges and opportunities. He believes that as long as they don't give up their efforts, they will be able to create more miracles.

Time seemed to slow down at this moment. Bai Ye sat quietly in the office, his heart full of expectation and confidence. He knew that although the road ahead was full of unknowns, he was ready to face any possible challenges.
