A Journey of American Comics Starting from the Zombie Universe

Chapter 745: The Horizon
"Bai Ye, what do you think we should do next?" asked a soldier.

Bai Ye was silent for a moment, thinking about this question in his heart. He knew that they had to find a safe refuge to ensure the safety of everyone. However, where should they go in this vast ocean?

"Let's sail in this direction first and see if we can find land or other ships." Bai Ye said, "As long as we don't give up, there will always be hope."

The soldiers nodded in agreement after hearing this. They knew that the most important thing now was to unite as one and face the difficulties together. Only in this way could they find hope for survival on this sea.

The fishing boat moved slowly in the night, with the waves gently hitting the hull. The soldiers sat in the cabin, talking in low voices or praying silently, all trying to find inner comfort and strength in their own way.

Bai Ye stood at the bow, looking forward with a firm gaze. He knew that as a leader, he must always remain calm and firm in order to lead the soldiers out of the predicament.

However, as they sailed deeper, they did not find any trace of land or ships. Instead, they seemed to have entered a more dangerous sea area. The waves here were more turbulent and seemed to swallow them up at any time.

"Bai Ye, what should we do?" a soldier asked nervously.

Bai Ye held the rudder tightly, his heart filled with anxiety. He knew that their current situation was very critical and they had to find a solution as soon as possible.

"Don't panic, let's first see if there are any islands around that can shelter from the wind." Bai Ye said.

Upon hearing this, the soldiers began to carefully observe the surrounding sea area. However, there seemed to be no trace of any island in this sea area. They could only drift helplessly on the sea, waiting for the judgment of fate.

At this moment, a roar suddenly came from the sea in the distance. Bai Ye looked up and saw a huge cargo ship heading towards them.

"Look! It's a freighter!" a soldier shouted excitedly.

Bai Ye was also delighted, as he knew this might be their only hope. He quickly ordered the soldiers to prepare signal lights and flags, trying to send a distress signal to the freighter.

However, the freighter did not seem to notice their presence. It continued to move forward, as if it was carrying out some important mission.

"What should we do? It's leaving!" a soldier shouted anxiously.

Bai Ye's heart sank, he knew they couldn't just give up like that. He quickly picked up the signal light and began to send a distress signal to the freighter using Morse code.

Fortunately, the crew on the freighter seemed to notice their signals and began to adjust their course and head towards the fishing boat.

"We are saved!" a soldier shouted excitedly.

Bai Ye also breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that they finally had a chance to leave this dangerous sea area. He quickly ordered the soldiers to prepare for receiving rescue and wait for the freighter to approach.

As the freighter approached, the soldiers gradually relaxed and began to hug each other, celebrating this hard-won turn of events.

However, just as they were about to board the freighter, a sudden change made them fall into despair again. A huge column of smoke suddenly rose from the freighter, followed by a violent explosion.

"Oh no! The freighter exploded!" a soldier shouted in horror.

Bai Ye looked at the exploding freighter in the distance, and his heart was filled with a sense of powerlessness. He knew that the hope they had just gained was shattered again. They could only drift helplessly on the sea, waiting for an unknown fate.

In despair and helplessness, Bai Ye suddenly took out a dilapidated piano from a hidden corner of the fishing boat. The appearance of the piano shocked and puzzled the soldiers, who gathered around and looked curiously at the instrument that seemed out of place in the current environment.

"Bai Ye, what are you doing..." a soldier asked in confusion.

Bai Ye did not answer, he just walked to the piano silently and gently opened the piano cover. His fingers jumped on the keys, playing a melodious and mysterious melody.

As the melody sounded, the originally calm sea surface suddenly began to ripple. The soldiers were surprised to find that the fishing boat began to move slowly, as if being pulled by some mysterious force.

"This...what is going on?" Another soldier widened his eyes and looked at everything in front of him in disbelief.

Bai Ye did not stop playing, his eyes were full of determination and hope. He knew that this piano might be their only lifeline. He had to play with all his strength to lead the soldiers out of the predicament.

As the melody deepened, the speed of the fishing boat became faster and faster. It passed through the turbulent waves and rushed in one direction. The soldiers held on to the side of the boat tightly, their hearts full of expectation and anxiety. They didn't know where the piano would lead them, but in any case, it was an opportunity worth trying.

Finally, after a difficult voyage, the fishing boat slowly approached the shore. The soldiers jumped off the boat one after another, and the feeling of being on solid ground made them feel extremely at ease.

However, when they looked around, they found that this was not a safe haven. Instead, they were on an isolated island surrounded by vast ocean and dense jungle.

"Where... where are we?" a soldier asked in horror.

Bai Ye looked around, his heart was filled with doubts and uneasiness. But he knew that the most important thing now was to stay calm and firm so that he could lead the soldiers to deal with possible crises.

"Don't panic, let's first see if there are any resources we can use here." Bai Ye said.

The soldiers nodded and began to search for resources on the isolated island. However, when they went deep into the jungle, they were horrified to find that there were many tigers roaming around.

"Tiger! There's a tiger here!" a soldier shouted in horror.

The soldiers were so frightened when they heard this that they retreated one after another. They knew that the tiger was the overlord of the jungle, and any creature that dared to challenge its authority would face a catastrophe.

"Don't panic, we have to find a way to deal with these tigers." Bai Ye quickly came to his senses and began to think about countermeasures.

However, the tigers did not seem to give them any chance. They began to approach the soldiers with ferocious gleams in their eyes.

"What should we do? What should we do?" the soldiers shouted in horror.

Bai Ye clenched his fists tightly, his heart filled with anger and helplessness. He knew that their current situation was very critical and they had to find a solution as soon as possible. However, facing these ferocious tigers, what could they do? At this moment, Bai Ye suddenly thought of a solution. He quickly ran to the piano and began to play another passionate melody. As the melody sounded, the tigers began to calm down, and the ferocious light in their eyes gradually dissipated.

"This...what is going on?" The soldiers looked at everything in front of them in surprise.

Bai Ye did not stop playing, he continued to soothe the tigers with the melody. He knew that this piano might have some mysterious power that could affect the emotions and behaviors of the creatures around it.

Finally, after some efforts, the tigers began to retreat gradually and finally disappeared into the depths of the jungle. The soldiers breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that they had finally gotten rid of the threat of the tigers temporarily.

However, life on the isolated island is not easy. The soldiers have to face various difficulties such as food shortage and water shortage. They began to search for edible plants and animals, trying to find hope for survival on this isolated island.

Bai Ye uses the power of the piano to try to establish connections with the creatures on the island. He finds that by playing different melodies, he can influence the emotions and behaviors of different creatures. This surprises and excites him, because he knows this may be the key to their survival on this isolated island.

However, as time went on, the soldiers began to feel tired and desperate. They didn't know how big this isolated island was, nor did they know if they could find a way out here. They began to complain and quarrel with each other, and some even began to question Bai Ye's leadership ability.

Facing the soldiers' doubts and dissatisfaction, Bai Ye felt extremely painful and helpless. He knew that as a leader, he must always remain calm and firm in order to lead the soldiers out of trouble. However, during the difficult days of survival on the isolated island, he began to feel powerless.

At this moment, an unexpected discovery rekindled the soldiers' hope. In a hidden corner of the isolated island, they found an ancient map that marked a secret passage leading to the outside world.

"We are saved!" a soldier shouted excitedly.

Bai Ye also smiled for the first time in a long time, he knew this might be their only chance to leave the island. He quickly organized the soldiers to prepare their luggage and food, ready to leave the island along the secret passage on the map.

However, when they set out on the journey to the secret passage, they found that the road was full of unknowns and dangers. They had to face steep mountain roads, turbulent rivers and ferocious beasts. Every step was full of hardships and challenges.

After a long journey and a hard struggle for survival, the soldiers finally found a relatively safe place to rest. They sat exhaustedly on a boulder, breathing heavily, their clothes soaked with sweat.

"Bai Ye, we have to find something to eat. If we continue like this, we may not be able to hold on." A soldier said weakly.

Bai Ye nodded. He knew that the soldiers were hungry and tired at the moment. However, on this isolated island, the food they could find was very limited. He looked around and his eyes finally fell on a tiger not far away.

It was a tiger that had just been disturbed by them and fled. It was now resting under the shade of a tree. It was huge, with well-defined muscles, and looked extremely ferocious. However, in the eyes of the soldiers, it had become a delicious dinner.

"Let's...let's roast the tiger and eat it." A soldier swallowed and said courageously.

The soldiers were all excited when they heard this. They knew that tiger meat was delicious and nutritious, and it was the energy source they needed most at the moment. However, facing such a ferocious beast, how should they start?
Bai Ye was silent for a moment, his heart was filled with hesitation and anxiety. However, he knew more clearly that if he didn't find food quickly, the soldiers might die of hunger. He took a deep breath and made a decision.

"Okay, let's roast it and eat it. But everyone must be careful, tigers are not easy to deal with." Bai Ye said.

The soldiers nodded and began to prepare tools to kill the tiger. They found some sharp stones and sticks and tried to make simple weapons. However, facing a huge tiger, these simple tools were obviously not enough.

At this moment, Bai Ye thought of the mysterious piano again. He quickly ran to the piano and began to play an exciting melody. As the melody sounded, the tiger began to become restless. It looked around, as if looking for the source of the sound.

"Everyone get ready, now!" Bai Ye shouted.

The soldiers quickly picked up their weapons and approached the tiger. They approached the tiger cautiously, trying to find a suitable opportunity to attack. However, the tiger was very vigilant and kept an eye on the soldiers. Once it found any danger, it would immediately run away.

At this moment, Bai Ye suddenly changed the melody. He played a soft and melodious song, trying to calm the tiger. The tiger really began to calm down, relaxed its vigilance, and began to listen to the melody quietly.

The soldiers seized the opportunity and quickly approached the tiger. One of the soldiers leaped up and hit the tiger's head hard with the stick in his hand. The tiger screamed but did not fall down immediately. It roared angrily and tried to break free from the soldiers' siege.

However, the soldiers were furious at this moment, and they attacked the tiger one after another. After a fierce fight, the tiger finally fell to the ground and stopped moving.

The soldiers cheered, they finally had a delicious dinner. They began to work together, some were responsible for dealing with the tiger's body, some were responsible for finding firewood and seasonings. With everyone's efforts, a golden and fragrant roasted tiger soon appeared in front of them.

The soldiers sat together, eating roasted tiger meat with big mouthfuls, their faces filled with satisfied and happy smiles. This was the most unforgettable dinner they had spent on the isolated island, and it was also the moment when they regained hope and strength.

However, when they finished their dinner, they found a new problem. How to deal with the tiger's carcass and the remaining barbecue? They knew that if they were not handled properly, it might attract more wild animals.

After thinking for a while, Bai Ye decided to dig a deep pit nearby to bury the tiger's body and the remaining barbecue. The soldiers nodded in agreement and began to dig the deep pit. After some effort, they finally buried the tiger's body and the barbecue tightly.

As night fell, the soldiers sat around the campfire and began to review their experiences and gains of the day, while also thinking about their next plans.

"Bai Ye, what should we do next?" asked a soldier.

Bai Ye was silent for a moment and then said, "We have to continue looking for that secret passage. Only when we find it can we leave this isolated island."

The soldiers nodded in agreement. They knew that although life on the isolated island was full of unknowns and challenges, as long as they united as one and worked together, they would be able to find a way out.

In the following days, the soldiers continued to move forward along the secret passage on the map. They passed through dense jungles, climbed steep mountains, and crossed turbulent rivers. Every step was full of hardships and challenges, but they never gave up hope.

On the way, they encountered various beasts and difficulties. However, under the leadership of Bai Ye, they were always able to find ways to deal with them. They used the power of the piano to appease the beasts, used the surrounding environment to set traps, and used each other's wisdom and courage to overcome difficulties.

Finally, after a difficult journey, they finally found the secret passage leading to the outside world. It was a path hidden in the dense jungle, narrow and winding, but it led to the outside world.

The soldiers cheered and jumped, they finally saw the hope of leaving the isolated island. They began to move forward along the path, every step was full of expectation and excitement.

However, when they were about to walk out of the jungle, they suddenly heard a burst of fierce gunfire. They were surprised to find that they were in an illegal hunting area. The gunfire came from the hands of those greedy hunters.
