A Journey of American Comics Starting from the Zombie Universe

Chapter 692 Fanaticism
At the moment when the giant robot fell down, the air was filled with a dull and oppressive atmosphere, as if even time had frozen at this moment. Bai Ye did not cheer or relax immediately. His eyes were deep and complicated, as if he was weighing every decision that was to come. He slowly turned around and walked towards the parked vehicle with heavy steps. The soldiers followed closely behind him, their faces also full of fatigue and confusion.

Back at the warehouse, which was once their battle preparation site, it has now become the starting point for them to face new challenges. The warehouse is dim and messy, with various tools and materials piled up like mountains, and the air is filled with the mixed smell of metal and engine oil. Bai Ye did not hesitate for a moment, and went directly to the area where the maintenance materials were stored, and began to carefully select the items he needed.

"Soldiers, we need to repair this robot." Bai Ye's voice echoed in the warehouse with unquestionable authority. The soldiers looked at each other, obviously surprised and confused by this decision. But no one raised any objections, they knew that Bai Ye always had his reasons, even if these reasons were often elusive.

Bai Ye directed the soldiers to carry out the heavy maintenance materials one by one, some of which were sophisticated electronic components, some were solid metal plates, and some were complex mechanical parts. They were busy shuttling around in the warehouse, their clothes soaked with sweat, but no one stopped to rest. Bai Ye personally supervised every step, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, and he did not miss any details.

As time went by, a corner of the warehouse was gradually transformed into a temporary maintenance station. The huge robot wreckage was dragged here. Although its body was broken, it still revealed a kind of frightening majesty. Bai Ye stood in front of the robot, staring at its twisted metal body, and an indescribable emotion surged in his heart.

"Why should we repair it?" a soldier finally couldn't help asking, his voice full of confusion and uneasiness.

Bai Ye did not answer immediately, but turned around and looked at everyone present. "Because it is a powerful weapon." He said slowly, "A weapon that can protect us and fight against unknown threats. If we can master it, then we will have more power to protect this world."

The soldiers were silent. They knew that Bai Ye's words were not groundless. In this dangerous and unknown world, strength often means survival. But they also knew that repairing this robot was not easy, not to mention that it was once their mortal enemy.

However, Bai Ye had made up his mind. He began to command the soldiers to dismantle and clean the robot. They carefully removed the parts that were corroded by toxins and replaced them with new materials. Each process required extremely high precision and patience, and the slightest mistake could lead to unpredictable consequences.

In this process, Bai Ye showed his extraordinary talent as a leader. He was not only proficient in mechanical principles and electronic technology, but also knew how to inspire the potential and fighting spirit of the soldiers. Under his leadership, the soldiers gradually overcame their initial fear and uneasiness and began to devote themselves to the restoration work.

However, the road to repair was not smooth. They encountered many unexpected difficulties and challenges. Some parts were severely damaged and could not be repaired, so they had to be redesigned and manufactured; some systems were complex and difficult to solve, and repeated experiments were required to find solutions; sometimes they even had to face the threat of residual self-destruct programs or unknown viruses inside the robot.

But Bai Ye never gave up. He always came up with new ideas and methods to guide the soldiers out of trouble at critical moments. His tenacity and perseverance infected everyone and made them believe that as long as they were united, nothing was impossible.

As time went by, the scene in the warehouse changed dramatically. The giant robot that was once broken gradually regained its former majesty and power. Its body was reassembled and every part shone with metallic luster; its system was reprogrammed and every function became more complete and powerful; its eyes lit up again as if it had new life and will.

However, when the robot really stood up, Bai Ye felt an unprecedented pressure and uneasiness. He realized that although they repaired the robot, they also opened a Pandora's box. The robot has the ability to evolve by itself. Once it gets out of control, it may become their enemy again and even threaten the safety of the entire world.

But at this point, Bai Ye had no way out. He could only pray silently that they could successfully master the power of this robot and make it a solid backing for them to fight against unknown threats. At the same time, he began to think about how to better control and manage this robot to prevent it from getting out of control again and causing catastrophic consequences.

In this process, Bai Ye and his soldiers experienced countless hardships and tribulations, but they also gained valuable experience and lessons. They learned how to face difficulties and challenges, how to unite as one and fight together; they also learned how to weigh the pros and cons and make the right decisions; more importantly, they learned how to find their own position and value in this world full of dangers and unknowns.

However, all this is just the beginning. In the days to come, Bai Ye and his soldiers will face more challenges and tests. But they are ready to meet all possible challenges to protect the tranquility and peace of this world. Because they know that as long as they are united, nothing is impossible.

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came from the depths of the warehouse, accompanied by a discordant clamor, interrupting the originally tense and orderly repair work. A figure suddenly rushed out of the shadows and ran straight to the giant robot that had just been repaired. This was a young experimenter, with a fanatical light flashing in his eyes and a twisted smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he had seen something sacred.

"Great God of Machinery! Please grant me endless power!" He stood in front of the robot, clasped his hands together, closed his eyes and prayed. His voice was high-pitched and excited, which was out of tune with the calm atmosphere around him and seemed particularly abrupt and embarrassing.

The soldiers stopped their work and looked at each other in astonishment and confusion. Bai Ye's face darkened instantly. He didn't expect that at this critical moment, someone would be so out of control and do such a ridiculous thing. This was not only a blasphemy to their efforts, but also a contempt for the severe challenges they were about to face.

"Shut up!" Bai Ye's voice was as chilling as ice. He walked quickly towards the experimenter, his eyes revealing unquestionable majesty. "Do you know what you are doing? This is a waste of time, and you are playing with our lives!"

However, the experimenter seemed to be immersed in his own world and ignored Bai Ye's rebuke. He continued to pray loudly, his voice full of fanaticism and paranoia. Bai Ye was furious when he saw this. He knew that this emotional behavior might lead to unpredictable consequences and must be stopped immediately.

"Soldiers, pull him away!" Bai Ye ordered loudly. Several soldiers quickly stepped forward and tried to pull the experimenter away from the robot. But the experimenter seemed to be nailed to the spot, refusing to move, still mumbling.

"Enough!" Bai Ye could no longer bear it. He waved his hand violently, signaling the soldiers to take more direct measures. The soldiers looked at each other, then walked towards the experimenter hesitantly. They knew that Bai Ye's decisions were often unquestionable, but facing such an obviously mentally ill colleague, they still felt a little hesitant and reluctant.

However, Bai Ye's order was like a military order and could not be resisted. The soldiers finally gritted their teeth and stepped forward to give the experimenter a few loud slaps. This sudden violence made the experimenter sober up instantly. He stared at the soldiers around him with wide eyes in disbelief, as if he had just woken up from a dream.

"What are you doing?!" He covered his red and swollen cheeks and shouted angrily. But then he saw Bai Ye's stern face and the serious expressions of the soldiers around him, and realized how ridiculous and shameful his behavior was. "I'm sorry, Commander Bai Ye, I..." The experimenter's voice gradually lowered. He knew that he had made a serious mistake. Bai Ye did not give him a chance to continue explaining, but interrupted him coldly.

"Remember, we are fighting a serious battle, not praying for God's protection. What we need is reason, calmness and unity, not this kind of ignorant fanaticism and foolish prayers." Bai Ye's voice echoed in the warehouse, making every soldier feel a palpitation.

The experimenter lowered his head and silently accepted Bai Ye's reprimand. He knew that he had indeed gone too far, and he also understood that Bai Ye was so strict because they were facing unprecedented challenges and crises. He secretly vowed to focus more on work in the future and not let such emotional behavior affect the stability of the team.

Bai Ye saw this and did not pursue the matter any further. He turned to the giant robot that had been repaired, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. He knew that this robot was both their weapon and their burden. But as long as they could use and manage it correctly, it could become a powerful aid in their fight against unknown threats.

"Okay, let's continue working." Bai Ye's voice sounded again, regaining his usual calmness and composure. The soldiers nodded one after another and returned to the intense repair work. The sound of metal colliding and the roar of machines rang out again in the warehouse, as if nothing had happened.

Just when the experimenter had just recovered from his frenzy and was ready to get back to work, an unexpected change occurred in the warehouse again. This time, a soldier who was usually taciturn and seemed steady suddenly behaved abnormally.

The soldier pulled out a basketball from his pocket at some point, and the basketball was clearly out of place in the environment he was in. He was stunned for a moment, and then, as if driven by some mysterious force, he suddenly began to jump on the court, slapping the basketball in his hand while humming an untuneable little tune.

This scene stunned everyone present, including the experimenter who had just returned to normal. The soldier's movements became more and more exaggerated, and he even began to perform some difficult basketball skills, such as dribbling between the legs and passing the ball behind his back, as if he was standing on the NBA court at this moment, instead of in a warehouse full of machinery and danger.

"What...what is he doing?" the experimenter stuttered as he asked a soldier next to him, his eyes full of confusion and fear.

"I don't know either." The soldier shook his head, also bewildered. "He's not usually like this. Why is he suddenly..."

Bai Ye's face became even gloomier. He realized that this soldier's behavior was probably affected by some unknown factor, just like the previous experimenter. This factor might come from the outside world or from themselves, but in any case, the cause must be found and resolved as soon as possible.

"Everyone, stay calm!" Bai Ye shouted loudly, trying to stabilize the mood at the scene, "Soldiers, stop what you are doing immediately and return to your posts!"

However, the soldier seemed not to have heard Bai Ye's order and continued to immerse himself in his own world, dancing the seemingly happy but actually absurd dance. His movements became faster and faster, and the basketball in his hands seemed to have become a living thing, flexibly drawing beautiful arcs in the air.

Bai Ye frowned upon seeing this. He knew that if he continued like this, it would not only affect the progress of the repair work, but would also cause greater chaos and danger. He had to take decisive measures to stop the soldier's crazy behavior.

"Soldiers, stop him!" Bai Ye gave the order again. Several soldiers moved at the sound and quickly approached the dancing soldier. However, when they tried to get closer, they found that the soldier seemed to be protected by an invisible force, and their movements became extremely difficult.

"This...what's going on?" A soldier stopped breathlessly, looking at his comrade in front of him who was still dancing happily, his eyes full of shock and helplessness.

Bai Ye also realized the seriousness of the problem. He quickly looked around for a possible solution. At this moment, his eyes fell on the giant robot that had been repaired. A bold idea emerged in his mind - using the power of the robot to stop the soldier's crazy behavior.

"Start the robot!" Bai Ye ordered decisively. Upon hearing this, the soldiers immediately started the robot according to the predetermined program. With a low roar, the huge mechanical monster slowly moved. Its eyes instantly locked onto the dancing soldier, as if it had already regarded him as a potential threat.

"No! Don't!" The soldier finally realized the danger was approaching. He screamed in fear and tried to escape from the robot's sight. However, he was too slow. The robot's huge body pounced on him like a cheetah and pinned him to the ground with a huge mechanical arm.

"Stop!" Bai Ye saw this and quickly shouted at the robot. He knew that he just wanted to stop the soldier's behavior, not to hurt him. Upon hearing this, the robot immediately stopped its actions, but still maintained its suppression of the soldier.

"Take him away!" Bai Ye gave the soldiers a new order. The soldiers quickly stepped forward and took the soldier who was subdued by the robot away from the scene. Before leaving, they also checked the robot's control system to ensure that it would not lose control again.

With the soldier's departure, the atmosphere in the warehouse returned to calm. The soldiers returned to their respective posts and continued to work on the repair. However, they were all filled with doubts and uneasiness - what secrets were hidden in this warehouse? Why did such a bizarre incident occur?
Bai Ye stood aside, watching all this silently. His heart was also full of doubts and worries. But he knew that now was not the time to pursue these things. They must complete the repair work as soon as possible and prepare for the upcoming challenges. Only by uniting as one and moving forward courageously can they survive in this dangerous and unknown world.
