A Journey of American Comics Starting from the Zombie Universe

Chapter 587 Meaning
In the abandoned underground botanical garden, dim lights barely illuminated the winding passage. The vines on the wall had long since withered, but they still stubbornly entangled the broken glass and rusted iron frames, as if telling of the prosperity of the past. Bai Ye led a team of soldiers through this quiet yet dangerous environment. Their footsteps echoed in the empty corridor, and each step seemed unusually heavy.

After walking for a while, a huge building appeared in their sight. It was an abandoned hotel. It might have been a luxurious residence in the botanical garden, but now only a broken shell remained. The windows of the hotel were broken, and the curtains swayed in the wind, making a rustling sound. The air was filled with an unpleasant smell, a mixture of long-term abandonment and radiation pollution.

Bai Ye stopped and covered his mouth and nose with his hands, signaling the soldiers to be careful. He looked around, trying to sense the hidden dangers in the ruins. Suddenly, a low roar came from inside the hotel, followed by the sound of heavy objects hitting the ground. The soldiers immediately became alert, holding their weapons tightly, ready to deal with the impending threat.

At this moment, the door of the hotel was thrown open, and dozens of irradiated tigers rushed out roaring. These tigers were originally wild beasts in this area, but they mutated under the influence of radiation and became more ferocious and terrifying. Their fur became gray and rough, their eyes flashed with fierce light, and their fangs were exposed, exuding deadly danger.

"Prepare for battle!" Bai Ye shouted, and rushed towards the radiation tiger first. The soldiers followed closely behind him, forming a tight formation, using weapons and shields to resist the tiger's attack. For a moment, the sound of battle rang out in front of the abandoned hotel, deafening.

Bai Ye swung the sword in his hand, and each swing was accompanied by a sharp sword energy. He accurately found the weakness of a tiger and stabbed it into its abdomen. The tiger roared in pain and fell to the ground. But the other tigers did not retreat. They pounced on the soldiers even more frantically.

The soldiers faced these ferocious radiation tigers without any fear. They knew that only unity could defeat these terrible enemies. They cooperated tacitly to resist the tigers' attacks and looked for opportunities to launch counterattacks. Every collision made a dull sound of metal hitting bones, and the air was filled with the smell of blood and gunpowder.

"Pay attention to defense!" Bai Ye shouted. He noticed that a particularly large tiger was quietly circling behind them, preparing to launch a sneak attack. He turned quickly and slashed at the tiger with his sword. The tiger was hit by the sword energy and roared in pain, but it did not give up and continued to pounce on Bai Ye.

Bai Ye dodged the tiger's attack with a flash. He took the opportunity to chop the tiger's neck with a knife, and blood gushed out. The tiger fell to the ground and struggled for a few times before it stopped moving. Bai Ye breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that this was only a temporary victory, and there were more tigers waiting for them.

The battle lasted for a long time, and the battle between the soldiers and the radiation tigers was extremely fierce. Every attack and defense tested their will and courage. But Bai Ye and his soldiers did not retreat. They firmly believed that as long as they persisted, they would be able to defeat these enemies.

As time went on, more and more tigers were defeated by the soldiers. But the remaining tigers became more crazy and ferocious. They roared and rushed towards the soldiers, trying to defeat them with their last strength. But Bai Ye did not give them this opportunity, and he led the soldiers to launch a final counterattack.

In the fierce battle, Bai Ye once again showed his amazing fighting skills. He accurately found the weaknesses of each tiger and knocked them down with sword after sword. The soldiers also fought bravely under his leadership, and they defeated one enemy after another with their courage and wisdom.

Finally, with everyone's joint efforts, the last radiation tiger was defeated. It fell to the ground and roared for the last time before it became motionless. The soldiers cheered and celebrated this hard-won victory.

Bai Ye looked at the tiger corpses scattered all over the ground but he didn't feel any joy in his heart. He knew that this was only a small part of their journey and there were more challenges waiting for them. He took a deep breath and said to the soldiers: "We haven't completed the mission yet. This is just a stop on our journey. We must keep moving forward until we find the way to save the world."

The soldiers nodded one after another. They knew Bai Ye was right. They cleaned up the battlefield and prepared to move on. Under the dim light, their figures gradually moved away, leaving behind only the dead tigers and the messy battlefield.

Under the dim light, Bai Ye and the soldiers walked further and further away. Their destination was still out of reach, but every step was filled with firm belief. In the abandoned underground botanical garden, the dead silence was reawakened by their footsteps, and every echo seemed to tell of their unyielding determination.

After leaving the ruins of the hotel, they came to an open space. This may have been the central square of the botanical garden, but now it is only desolate and dilapidated. Broken sculptures, collapsed fountains, and vegetation eroded by radiation have become scars on this land. Bai Ye stopped and looked around, with a flash of determination in his eyes.

"This place must have been very beautiful," sighed a soldier.

"Yes, but now it has become our battlefield." Bai Ye replied, his voice full of determination, "We not only have to face these mutated creatures, but also this world corroded by radiation. But as long as we persist, one day we will be able to find a way to save the world."

The soldiers nodded one after another, knowing that Bai Ye's words were not only encouragement, but also a reminder of their mission. They continued to move forward, passing through the ruins, heading towards an unknown direction.

Soon, they came to a long and narrow corridor. This corridor seemed to lead deep underground, dark and deep. Bai Ye raised the torch in his hand to illuminate the road ahead. The soldiers followed closely behind, and their footsteps echoed in the corridor, creating a tense and mysterious atmosphere.

Just as they were about to enter the depths of the corridor, a strange sound suddenly came from the darkness. The sound was low and terrifying, like the roar of some giant beast, or a call from the depths of hell. The soldiers couldn't help but become nervous, they tightly grasped their weapons and looked ahead vigilantly.

"What's that sound?" a soldier asked in a low voice.

"I don't know, but it's definitely not a good thing." Bai Ye replied, his eyes flashing with a sharp light, "Everyone be careful, we may have encountered a new enemy."

As soon as he finished speaking, several huge creatures suddenly rushed out of the darkness. These creatures had strange appearances, covered with hard shells, and sharp claws flashing cold light in the sun. They roared and rushed towards the soldiers at an astonishing speed. Deep in the abandoned underground botanical garden, a group of crustaceans seemed to have walked out of ancient myths, shocking every witness with their unique and terrifying appearance. These crustaceans were not common creatures in nature, but the product of mutation under the influence of radiation and unknown factors. Their appearance was both strange and full of danger.

Crustaceans are huge, usually more than three meters tall, and their bodies are covered with a hard and thick shell, as if they were wearing a natural armor. This shell is a deep dark green color, with irregular textures and sharp protrusions on the surface, just like the armor worn by ancient warriors. It not only has strong defensive power, but also exudes a terrifying aura that makes people shudder.

The head of the Crustacean is the most eye-catching part of them. Their heads are huge and flat, with a pair of sharp horns on both sides. These horns are not only extremely sharp, but also can emit strong electric shocks. When the Crustacean is angry or threatened, their horns will flash blue arcs, emit a harsh sound of electricity, and make people shudder.

The eyes of the crustacean are located on both sides of the head. They are a blood-red compound eye structure. These eyes can observe the surrounding environment 360 degrees without blind spots, ensuring that they can stay alert at all times. When the eyes of the crustacean are staring at you, you will feel a strong sense of oppression, as if you are being locked tightly by a pair of ruthless eyes.

The limbs of the Crustaceans are thick and powerful, and their claws are sharp and sharp, which can easily tear steel. When walking, the Crustaceans will make heavy footsteps, as if every step is shaking the earth. And when they run, their speed is even more amazing.

The back of the Crustacean is a huge bulge covered with sharp spines. These spines can not only be used as defensive weapons, but also can emit deadly venom in battle. When the Crustacean feels danger, it will quickly turn around, aim the spines on its back at the enemy, and then emit venom. This venom is highly corrosive and can melt the enemy's skin in an instant.

The abdomen of the Crustacean is their only weak point, but it is also protected by a hard shell. This shell has a pale yellow luster, which is in sharp contrast with their dark green body. Although the shell on the abdomen is not as hard as other parts, it is strong enough to withstand most attacks. Only when it is attacked with extremely strong force will the shell on the abdomen break, revealing the soft flesh inside.

In addition to these basic characteristics, every detail of the Crustacean is full of danger and terror. Their skin is covered with tiny scales, which can not only resist external damage, but also absorb radiation energy in the environment. When the Crustacean is angry, their skin will become more colorful, as if it is ignited by fire.

In battle, the Crustaceans will emit a deafening roar. This roar is not only a powerful deterrent, but also can interfere with the enemy's hearing system. When a group of Crustaceans roar at the same time, the entire underground botanical garden will fall into chaos.

In general, the Crustaceans are both terrifying and powerful creatures. Their appearance is unique and weird, and every detail is full of danger. In the abandoned underground botanical garden, these Crustaceans have become powerful enemies that Bai Ye and the soldiers must face. They must rely on their courage and wisdom to defeat these terrible creatures.

"It's a Crustacean!" Bai Ye shouted, and he quickly swung the sword in his hand and chopped off the head of a Crustacean. The sword flashed, and the Crustacean's head was split open, and green blood splashed everywhere. But the other Crustaceans did not retreat, they continued to roar and rush towards the soldiers.

The soldiers immediately launched a counterattack. They brandished their weapons and fought fiercely with the Crustaceans. However, the Crustaceans had strong defenses, and their attacks often only caused slight damage. For a while, the battle fell into a stalemate.

Bai Ye kept observing the attack methods and defensive weaknesses of the crustaceans during the battle. He found that the abdomen of these crustaceans was their only weakness, but it was tightly protected by a hard shell, so it was not easy to attack there.

"Everyone, pay attention! Attack their abdomens!" Bai Ye shouted. He swung the sword in his hand again and slashed at the abdomen of a crustacean. This time he concentrated all his strength, and the sword light was as bright as a meteor across the night sky. The crustacean's abdomen was split open by the sword energy, and green blood gushed out. It screamed and fell to the ground. After struggling for a few times, it stopped moving.

Seeing this, the soldiers followed Bai Ye's method and attacked the belly of the crustaceans. With their efforts, more and more crustaceans were defeated. But the remaining crustaceans became more crazy and ferocious. They roared and rushed towards the soldiers, trying to defeat them with their last strength.

However, facing these crazy crustacean soldiers did not retreat, they continued to fight the enemy with their courage and wisdom. They knew that as long as they persisted, they would be able to defeat these enemies.

In the fierce battle, Bai Ye once again demonstrated his outstanding fighting skills. He flexibly dodged the attacks of the Crustacean while looking for opportunities to launch a deadly counterattack. Under his leadership, the soldiers gradually found the key to attacking the Crustacean and their battle became more orderly.

Finally, with everyone's joint efforts, the last crustacean was defeated. It fell to the ground and roared for the last time before it became motionless. The soldiers cheered and celebrated this hard-won victory.

Bai Ye looked at the carapace corpses scattered all over the ground, but he didn't feel relaxed at all. He knew that this was just another stage in their journey and there would be more challenges waiting for them. He took a deep breath and said to the soldiers, "We still have a long way to go and can't stay here for too long. We must keep moving forward until we find a way to save the world."

The soldiers nodded one after another. They knew Bai Ye was right. They cleaned up the battlefield and prepared to move on. Under the dim light, their figures gradually faded away again, leaving behind only the carapace corpses and a messy battlefield.

They passed through narrow passages and crossed obstacles. Each challenge made them more united and determined. They knew that as long as they persisted, they would find a way to save the world one day. In the process, they gradually grew into true warriors.
