A Journey of American Comics Starting from the Zombie Universe

Chapter 661

The little wild donkey seemed to be aware of the movement around it. It raised its head and looked around vigilantly. When its eyes met Bai Ye's, a hint of surprise and confusion flashed in its eyes. But soon, that vigilance was replaced by an inexplicable sense of intimacy. It seemed to recognize Bai Ye and the soldiers who had taken care of it.

"Little wild donkey, don't be afraid. We are here to take you home." Bai Ye said gently, his voice full of comfort and warmth. He reached out and gently stroked the top of the little wild donkey's head, just like they had done countless times before.

The little wild donkey felt Bai Ye's tenderness and care, and slowly relaxed his vigilance, allowing Bai Ye to stroke his fur. His eyes revealed an indescribable gratitude and joy, as if to say, "Thank you, I finally found you."

The soldiers gathered around, some bringing food and water to the donkey, while others quietly guarded it. At this warm moment, they seemed to have returned to the camp that was once full of laughter and harmony.

However, the good times did not last long. As night fell, dangers also came with it. The roars of wild animals echoed around them, reminding them that this was not a safe place. Bai Ye knew that they had to leave this place as soon as possible and bring the little wild donkey back to the camp.

"Everyone, get ready. We have to leave here as soon as possible." Bai Ye said in a deep voice, his tone revealed a bit of urgency and determination. The soldiers immediately took action after hearing this. Some of them packed their luggage, while others carefully approached the little wild donkey and prepared to take it away.

The little wild donkey seemed to sense the impending change. It looked up at Bai Ye with a hint of uneasiness and resistance in its eyes. It didn't want to leave this free world and didn't want to be confined in a small space again. But looking at Bai Ye and the soldiers who had taken care of it, it knew that they were thinking about its own safety.

"Little wild donkey, be obedient and come back with us." Bai Ye said softly, his words full of comfort and encouragement. He reached out and stroked the top of the little wild donkey's head again, trying to calm it down.

The little wild donkey looked at Bai Ye's eyes full of tenderness and felt the warmth in his hands. It finally let go of its resistance. It nodded gently as if to say, "Okay, I'll go back with you."

So the soldiers carefully took the little wild donkey back home. After going through the wilderness and over the hills, they finally returned to the familiar camp after untold hardships. When the lights of the camp illuminated their faces again, they knew that they had finally completed this difficult journey of searching and returning.

The little wild donkey was placed in a spacious and comfortable shed, where it could run freely, play and enjoy its happy time. Bai Ye and the soldiers silently guarded it, their hearts filled with comfort and satisfaction.

In this underground world full of uncertainties, Bai Ye, the soldiers and the little wild donkey have established an indescribable emotional bond. They support and rely on each other to face the challenges and unknowns of the future together. Although their future is full of uncertainty and danger, they believe that as long as they unite as one, they will be able to create their own miracles and glory.

In the camp dotted with stars, laughter and warm lights intertwined into a seemingly harmonious picture. Bai Ye led the soldiers and the little wild donkey to play in the open space, as if forgetting the cruelty and danger of the outside world. Surrounded by people, the little wild donkey sometimes ran happily and sometimes rolled leisurely, with innocence and happiness flashing in its eyes, as if this was its paradise.

"Look, how happily the little wild donkey is laughing!" said a soldier with a smile, his face filled with satisfaction and happiness.

"Yes, all the hard work during this period has finally paid off." Another soldier echoed, his eyes closely following the figure of the little wild donkey, his eyes full of pampering.

Bai Ye stood aside, with a faint smile on his face, but his deep eyes hid unknown secrets. He quietly observed the interaction between the little wild donkey and the soldiers, secretly thinking about the next plan in his mind.

As time went by and the night deepened, the atmosphere in the camp became more and more lively. The soldiers sat around the campfire, sharing their stories and jokes, while the little wild donkey nibbled on the grass leisurely, enjoying this rare peace and tranquility.

However, in the midst of all the laughter and joy, an unexpected incident broke all the harmony and beauty. Bai Ye suddenly stood up, his eyes became cold and resolute, as if he had suddenly become a different person. He walked quickly towards the little wild donkey, and before the soldiers could react, Bai Ye suddenly jumped up and bit the little wild donkey's throat.

"Bai Ye! What are you doing?!" The soldiers exclaimed, their faces filled with shock and fear. They couldn't believe what they saw, and couldn't understand Bai Ye's behavior.

The little wild donkey let out a shrill wail, its eyes filled with despair and confusion. However, its struggle seemed so insignificant in front of Bai Ye's powerful strength. Bai Ye bit the little wild donkey's throat tightly until it completely lost its life.

The soldiers stared at this scene in a daze, their hearts filled with confusion and anger. They didn't understand why Bai Ye did this, and they couldn't accept this cruel reality. However, when they saw Bai Ye start to tear the body of the little wild donkey and greedily devour the delicious flesh and blood, they finally understood.

"So...it turns out that the little wild donkey is food!" a soldier muttered to himself, his voice full of shock and despair.

"Yeah... We actually always treated it as a partner..." Another soldier closed his eyes in pain, his heart filled with regret and self-blame.

Bai Ye seemed not to hear the soldiers' exclamations and discussions. He was still concentrating on enjoying this rare feast. His face was filled with satisfaction and joy, as if he had just done something very ordinary.

The soldiers looked at each other in bewilderment. They knew that in this cruel world, survival was often more important than morality and emotion. Although they could not accept this fact, they could not change it. So, after a short silence, the soldiers also joined in this cruel feast. They began to cut up the body of the little wild donkey, roasted it over the fire, and ate it in big mouthfuls.

"It smells so good..." a soldier exclaimed while eating, a long-lost smile appearing on his face.

"Yeah... I haven't eaten such delicious meat for a long time..." another soldier echoed, his eyes flashing with greed. Bai Ye looked at the soldiers wolfing down the food, and he didn't feel the slightest bit of guilt or uneasiness in his heart. On the contrary, he felt an unprecedented satisfaction and relief. He knew that in this world full of dangers and uncertainties, only the strong can survive. And he was that strong man.

However, in this seemingly jubilant camp, there is a deep sadness and helplessness. The tragic fate of the little wild donkey has become an eternal pain and shadow in their hearts. They know that they can never return to that innocent and beautiful era. In the days to come, they will have to continue to face more cruelty and ruthlessness, and constantly struggle and fight for survival.

However, when the soldiers brought the little wild donkeys back to the camp and prepared to enjoy the mouth-watering donkey meat again, a strange emotion began to grow in their hearts. Under the light of the fire, their faces were no longer just greedy and satisfied, but more complicated thoughts and struggles.

"Bai Ye, are we...really doing this okay?" A soldier finally couldn't help but ask in a low voice. His voice was small, but it was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring up ripples.

Bai Ye stopped what he was doing and looked up at the soldier. A subtle change flashed in his deep eyes. "In this world, survival is the greatest justice." He said slowly, with a firm but helpless tone. "We are trying to survive, for our families, and for our future."

The soldiers were silent. They knew that Bai Ye's words made sense. But deep down, they could not let go of their reverence and sympathy for life. They began to reflect on whether this way of life was really what they wanted.
At this moment, a faint sound came from outside the camp, interrupting their thoughts. The soldiers immediately became alert and picked up their weapons to prepare for possible threats. However, when they walked out of the camp, they found that the sound was actually the cry of a wounded wild donkey.

The little wild donkey was obviously injured when escaping the trap, and was now curled up in the grass, trembling helplessly. Its eyes were full of fear and despair, but in this despair, there seemed to be a faint will to survive.

The soldiers looked at each other, and an indescribable emotion surged in their hearts. When they saw the little wild donkey, it was like seeing their own reflection in this cruel world - weak, helpless, but struggling hard to survive.

"We...can't give up like this." A soldier whispered, his voice was light but full of determination.

The other soldiers also nodded in agreement. They realized that perhaps they had been wrong all along. They thought that survival required sacrificing everything, including morality and conscience. But now, they saw hope and another possibility - to find a balance between survival and morality.

So the soldiers carefully brought the injured little wild donkey back to the camp. They bandaged its wounds, fed it food and water, and used all their tenderness and patience. In the process, they felt unprecedented satisfaction and happiness, which was a spiritual pleasure that surpassed material enjoyment.

The little wild donkey gradually recovered under the care of the soldiers, and its eyes became brighter and more trusting. The soldiers began to realize that these seemingly weak lives actually have their own value and significance. They are not only a source of food, but also an indispensable part of the world.

As time went on, the soldiers' attitude towards the little wild donkeys changed dramatically. They no longer regarded them as prey or food, but as friends and partners. They lived and fought together in this wilderness, facing threats and challenges from the outside world together.

Bai Ye also saw the changes in the soldiers, and he felt both gratified and emotional in his heart. He realized that he might have been too obsessed with the pursuit of survival and power, and ignored the more important and beautiful things in life. He began to reflect on his own behavior and values, trying to find a more harmonious and beautiful way of survival in this cruel world.

Finally one day, Bai Ye gathered all the soldiers and stood in front of them, his eyes shining with unprecedented light. "We used to think that survival was everything, but now I know I was wrong." He said slowly, "In this world, in addition to survival, there are more things worth pursuing and cherishing - such as love, friendship, respect and compassion."

The soldiers listened to Bai Ye's words quietly, their hearts were filled with emotion and resonance. They knew that at this moment, Bai Ye was no longer the cold-blooded commander, but a leader who truly understood the meaning of life.

"From now on, we will no longer hunt and kill little wild donkeys," Bai Ye continued. "We will live in harmony with them and jointly protect every life on this land."

The soldiers nodded in agreement, their hearts full of expectations and longings for the future. They knew that this road might be full of unknowns and challenges, but they were willing to work hand in hand and move towards a better and brighter future.

Thus, in this wilderness shrouded in war and desolation, a group of once ruthless soldiers and a group of once weak and helpless wild donkeys established a deep friendship and trust. They faced the cruelty and ruthlessness of the world together, but also found the meaning and value of life in each other's company. They proved with their actions that in this world full of darkness and despair, justice and beauty still exist, as long as we are willing to find, cherish and protect them.

On that afternoon dyed red by the setting sun, Bai Ye led the soldiers to play with a group of newly-acquainted wild donkeys in the open space near the camp. After a period of getting along with each other, these newly-joined wild donkeys have gradually let down their guard against humans and began to enjoy this rare happy time. They were running, jumping, or chasing the soldiers, and the air was filled with a relaxed and joyful atmosphere.

Bai Ye stood aside with a faint smile on his face. His eyes showed both his satisfaction with the growth of the soldiers and his satisfaction with the harmonious scene. He knew very well that such a scene was not easy to come by and was the result of the joint efforts of the soldiers and himself.

The soldiers interacted more and more intimately with the little wild donkeys. They gently stroked the little wild donkeys' fur or handed them some grass as rewards. The little wild donkeys seemed to feel the soldiers' kindness. They gently rubbed the soldiers' hands with their noses and made cheerful noises.

However, in the midst of all the laughter and joy, an unexpected incident broke all the harmony and beauty. A soldier's face suddenly darkened, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes. He took a step forward and kicked the nearest wild donkey hard.

The little wild donkey was caught off guard and was kicked and flew out, falling heavily to the ground. It wailed in pain, struggled weakly with its limbs, and blood slowly flowed from the corner of its mouth. The soldiers' exclamations and the little wild donkey's wailing intertwined, forming a heartbreaking picture.
