A Journey of American Comics Starting from the Zombie Universe

Chapter 591 Light Ball
In the dim underground botanical garden, Bai Ye led the soldiers forward. This was once a green and vibrant place, but now it has become a wasteland. The air was filled with the smell of moldy soil and unknown chemicals, which made people frown involuntarily. The surroundings were strangely quiet, with only their heavy footsteps echoing in the empty corridor.

Bai Ye held a special rifle, his eyes were firm and sharp, as if he could penetrate the thick dust and shadows. His steps were steady and powerful, and every step showed his majesty and composure as a leader. The soldiers followed closely behind him, and although they were a little nervous, their eyes revealed their trust and respect for Bai Ye.

After walking for a while, they came to an abandoned residential building. The building was dilapidated, with broken windows and cracked walls, and it looked extremely desolate. Bai Ye signaled the soldiers to stop. He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the residential building carefully. His intuition told him that there seemed to be some kind of danger hidden here.

Sure enough, just as they stopped, there was a commotion in the residential building. Then, dozens of radioactive gorillas rushed out from the dilapidated doors and windows, their faces were hideous, and their eyes were flashing with fierce light. These gorillas were originally wild animals in the underground botanical garden. Due to the influence of nuclear radiation, they mutated and became extremely ferocious and violent.

"Prepare for battle!" Bai Ye shouted, and took the lead in raising his rifle and firing at a gorilla that was in the front. The sound of gunfire echoed in the empty underground botanical garden, deafening. The soldiers also raised their guns and fired, and for a moment, flames flew everywhere, and gunshots and explosions sounded one after another.

However, the defense of these radioactive gorillas was amazing, and ordinary bullets did not seem to pose much of a threat to them. They roared, charged, and continuously attacked the soldiers. Seeing this, Bai Ye immediately ordered the soldiers to disperse and use the terrain for defense.

"Be careful to avoid their attacks!" Bai Ye shouted loudly, "Look for opportunities to counterattack!"

The soldiers quickly dispersed, using the surrounding obstacles for cover and firing at the gorillas from time to time. However, the gorillas were numerous and their offensive was fierce, and the soldiers were soon forced to retreat.

At this moment, a particularly huge radioactive gorilla rushed out from deep inside the residential building. It was more than twice the size of an ordinary gorilla, with well-developed muscles and amazing strength. Its appearance caused panic and anxiety among the soldiers.

"That's their leader!" Bai Ye recognized the giant radioactive gorilla at a glance, "We must deal with it first!"

Bai Ye aimed at the gorilla's head and pulled the trigger. However, his bullet was deflected by the gorilla's hard skin. Bai Ye was not discouraged. He quickly changed the magazine and continued to fire at the gorilla. At the same time, he also ordered the soldiers to concentrate their firepower on the gorilla.

Under the siege of the crowd, the huge radioactive gorilla was finally severely damaged. Its movements began to slow down, but there was still a fierce light in its eyes. Bai Ye took the opportunity to rush forward and hit the gorilla's head with the butt of his rifle. After a muffled sound, the gorilla finally fell to the ground and stopped moving.

As the gorilla fell, the other gorillas began to panic. Without the command and encouragement of their leader, their offensive began to weaken. Seeing this, the soldiers seized the opportunity to counterattack and soon knocked down all the remaining gorillas.

After the battle, the soldiers gathered around Bai Ye, their faces showing the joy and pride of victory. Bai Ye looked at the ruins and the results of the battle, and felt a sense of relief and pride in his heart. He knew that the victory of this battle was inseparable from the bravery and dedication of every soldier.

"We won!" Bai Ye said loudly, "But this victory is only temporary. We still need to keep moving forward to find our goal."

The soldiers responded in unison: "Yes! We will follow you and move on!"

Bai Ye nodded, raised his rifle and walked forward again. The soldiers followed him and embarked on a new journey. In the dim underground botanical garden, they continued to walk through the unknown future and hope.

Deep in the dim underground botanical garden, Bai Ye walked side by side with the soldiers, and every step seemed extremely heavy. The air around them was filthy, as if carrying an indescribable sense of oppression. Although the fierce battle with the radioactive gorilla just now was over, everyone's nerves were still tense, alert to the danger that might appear at any time.

They walked along a winding passage, and the walls on both sides of the passage were covered with various strange symbols and patterns, as if telling the glory and decline of the botanical garden. Bai Ye's eyes stayed on these symbols for a moment, and he tried to interpret their meaning, but soon found that these symbols did not seem to belong to any language he was familiar with.

"These symbols seem to be left by an unknown civilization." Bai Ye said in a low voice, his brows furrowed and his heart full of doubts.

The soldiers did not answer, but they also noticed these strange symbols. As they scanned the symbols, they could not help but feel an inexplicable fear in their hearts. They knew that there were too many unknowns and dangers hidden in this underground botanical garden, and they were moving step by step towards the depths of these unknowns.

At the end of the passage, a huge stone door appeared in front of everyone. The stone door was engraved with complex patterns and symbols, which looked extremely mysterious. Bai Ye walked to the stone door and carefully observed the patterns on it. He tried to find clues to open the stone door, but soon found that these patterns seemed to be not just decorations, they seemed to contain some deep meaning.

"We may need to find the correct clues to open this stone door." Bai Ye said in a deep voice.

The soldiers nodded when they heard this. They understood what Bai Ye meant. They began to disperse and search for possible clues around. Some checked the symbols on the stone door, trying to interpret their meaning; others looked for the mechanisms and buttons around, trying to find the switch to open the stone door.

At this moment, a low roar suddenly came from inside the stone gate. Everyone was startled and turned their eyes to the stone gate. The symbols on the stone gate began to flash, and the whole stone gate seemed to be shrouded by a mysterious power.

"Quickly retreat!" Bai Ye shouted. He quickly stepped back a few steps and signaled the soldiers to stay away from the stone gate.

However, just as they were about to step back, the stone door suddenly opened with a bang, and a strong airflow rushed out. Everyone was blown all over the place by the airflow, and it was difficult for them to stand firm.

"What the hell is this?" exclaimed a soldier.

Bai Ye did not answer, his eyes were fixed on the inside of the stone door. Behind the stone door was a dark space, and in the center of the space was a huge glowing sphere. The sphere emitted a soft light, illuminating the entire space.

"That sphere seems to be what we are looking for." Bai Ye said in a deep voice.

The soldiers nodded when they heard this. They understood what Bai Ye meant. They quickly packed their equipment and prepared to enter the stone gate. However, just as they were about to act, a more violent roar suddenly sounded. Everyone was startled and looked in the direction of the sound.

Suddenly, cracks appeared in the quiet dark space, and dazzling light emanated from the cracks. Then, a huge monster rushed out from the cracks. It was huge, covered with hard shells and sharp thorns. The monster roared and rushed towards everyone, and every time it stepped on the ground, the whole space was shaking.

"It's another mutant monster!" Bai Ye exclaimed.

Seeing this, the soldiers raised their guns and fired, but the monster's defense seemed to be even stronger than the previous radioactive gorilla. Their bullets only splashed sparks on the monster and could not cause any substantial damage to it. Bai Ye knew that they had encountered a real challenge this time.

"Maybe we can use that sphere to deal with it." Bai Ye said in a deep voice.

The soldiers nodded when they heard this, and they began to look for opportunities to approach the sphere. However, the monster's attack power was too strong, and it was difficult for them to get close to the sphere without being discovered by the monster.

At this moment, Bai Ye suddenly thought of a way. He quickly took out some flash bombs and grenades from his backpack, and tied them together to make a simple bomb. He aimed at the monster's head and threw the bomb out.

"Bang!" There was a loud noise, and the bomb exploded on the monster's head. The strong flash and shock wave temporarily made the monster incapable of movement. Bai Ye took the opportunity to rush forward and grab the glowing sphere and then quickly retreated.

The monster quickly regained its ability to move. It roared and rushed towards Bai Ye, trying to take back the sphere. But Bai Ye was ready. He raised the sphere and smashed it hard at the monster. The sphere collided with the monster's shell, making a deafening sound. The monster was smashed and retreated repeatedly, and its eyes flashed with anger and unwillingness.

"Keep attacking!" Bai Ye shouted loudly. Upon hearing this, the soldiers raised their guns and shot. Under the siege of everyone, the monster was finally knocked to the ground and stopped moving.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the monster lying on the ground. They knew that the victory of this battle was inseparable from everyone's courage and dedication. Bai Ye looked at the sphere in his hand with a firm light in his eyes. He knew that this sphere was the goal of their trip.

"We found it!" Bai Ye shouted, his voice full of joy and pride. The soldiers cheered when they heard it, knowing that their mission was finally accomplished.

Amid the cheers of the crowd, Bai Ye tightly grasped the glowing sphere, feeling its slightly vibrating power. This sphere was not only the goal of their trip, but also the key to solving the mystery of the underground botanical garden.

"We have to leave here quickly." Bai Ye reminded, and he scanned the surroundings to make sure he didn't miss any potential dangers. The soldiers quickly gathered, knowing that they still had a long way to go and needed to stay alert and stay strong.

They returned along the same route, carefully avoiding those dangerous areas along the way. Although the previous battle had exhausted them physically and mentally, the joy of victory and curiosity about the unknown made them refreshed.

As they gradually approached the exit of the underground botanical garden, the light began to grow brighter. When the first ray of sunlight shone into this dim world, the soldiers couldn't help but cheer. They knew that they were about to leave this dangerous and unknown place and return to their own world.

However, just as he was about to step out of the last threshold of the botanical garden, Bai Ye suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" a soldier asked, his voice revealing concern and confusion.

Bai Ye did not answer. His eyes lingered on the sphere for a moment, then he made a decision.

"We can't take this sphere out." Bai Ye said in a deep voice, "It contains huge energy and unknown dangers. If we accidentally trigger it, it may bring unpredictable consequences."

The soldiers were stunned when they heard this. They didn't understand why Bai Ye made such a decision. But out of trust and respect for Bai Ye, they did not raise any objections.

"So, what should we do with it?" asked a soldier.

Bai Ye pondered for a moment and then made a decision.

"We need to set a trap here to seal this sphere." Bai Ye said, "We need to find a way to connect this sphere to a mechanism in the underground botanical garden. Once someone tries to approach it, the mechanism will be triggered, preventing them from succeeding."

The soldiers nodded when they heard this. They understood Bai Ye's meaning. They began to act separately, looking for suitable mechanisms and tools to set traps.

After some effort, they finally found a suitable mechanism and connected the sphere to it. Once someone tried to touch the sphere, the mechanism would immediately start, releasing powerful energy to knock the person away.

After completing all this, Bai Ye led the soldiers out of the exit of the underground botanical garden. When they stood in the sunlight again, they couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

When the soldiers breathed a sigh of relief for successfully leaving the underground botanical garden and returned to the base to rest, Bai Ye suddenly stopped. He looked into the distance again, which was the direction of the underground botanical garden, and an indescribable uneasiness surged in his heart.

"I must go back." Bai Ye whispered to himself, his voice firm and decisive.

The soldiers looked at each other in shock at his decision. They didn't understand why Bai Ye, who had already successfully escaped, would risk returning again.

Stepping into the underground botanical garden again, Bai Ye stared at the glowing sphere, with a flash of determination in his eyes.

"This sphere cannot stay here." Bai Ye took a deep breath, stretched out his hand, and held the sphere firmly. The sphere shook slightly in his hand, as if expressing its unwillingness and anger. But Bai Ye did not back down, he squeezed it hard, and the sphere exploded in his hand instantly.

A powerful energy was released from the sphere, instantly illuminating the surrounding space. But Bai Ye was prepared. He quickly activated the protective device on his body to isolate the energy. As the energy dissipated, the sphere completely disappeared into the air.

After finishing all this, Bai Ye did not stop, he quickly left the underground botanical garden.
