A Journey of American Comics Starting from the Zombie Universe

Chapter 759 Mist
Bai Ye blinked his eyes with great effort, and the scene in front of him gradually became clear. He found himself lying on an unfamiliar land, surrounded by barren grass and scattered gravel. The familiar voice just now was now coming from a demon wearing a black robe and with a hideous face. The demon's eyes were like burning flames, with a strange smile on the corner of his mouth, and holding a sharp blade that flashed with cold light in his hand.

"You finally woke up, Bai Ye." The demon's voice was low and magnetic, but it carried a hint of unquestionable threat, "Your soldiers have already gone to another world before you."

Hearing this, Bai Ye felt a surge of anger and resentment in his heart. He struggled to stand up, but found that his limbs were weak, as if bound by invisible chains. He glared at the demon and gnashed his teeth and said, "You bastard! What did you do to my soldiers?"

The devil chuckled, as if Bai Ye's anger was just a boring farce in his eyes. "They? Oh, those poor guys, they are just the victims of my experiment. However, you seem to have more potential than them. Maybe I can get more interesting things from you."

Bai Ye heard this, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes. He knew that he was in a desperate situation at the moment, but even so, he would never give up easily. He took a deep breath, tried to gather all the strength in his body, and tried to break free from the demon's shackles.

At this moment, a faint sound of wind suddenly came. Bai Ye's heart moved, and he realized that this was the code that the soldiers had taught him, which meant that danger was approaching. He raised his head suddenly and saw a huge green demon slowly descending from the sky. Its eyes were like two dazzling gems, and its body was covered with thick scales, emitting a suffocating stench.

"It seems that you have a companion." The black-robed demon sneered, and he swung the sharp blade in his hand lightly, and a cold light flew towards the green demon. However, the green demon seemed to have been prepared, and it dodged the attack easily by moving sideways.

Seeing this, Bai Ye felt a surge of hope in his heart. He knew that this was their only chance to escape from here and kill the demon. He took a deep breath and shouted with all his strength: "Soldiers! Attack!"

However, all he got in response was dead silence. Bai Ye's heart sank, and he realized that those soldiers who had fought alongside him might have left this world forever. But even so, he couldn't give up. He gritted his teeth, struggled to stand up, and rushed towards the green demon.

Seeing this, the green demon's eyes flashed with contempt. It opened its huge mouth and spit out a ball of green flames, attacking Bai Ye. Bai Ye nimbly dodged the attack, then took the opportunity to rush to the demon and punched its scales with all his strength.

However, this punch did not seem to cause much damage to the demon. It just shook its body slightly, and then continued to attack Bai Ye. Bai Ye knew that he could not fight hard, so he flexibly dodged the demon's attack and looked for opportunities to counterattack.

At this moment, the black-robed demon suddenly joined the battle. The sharp blade in his hand swung like lightning, attacking Bai Ye and the green demon at the same time. Bai Ye had to be distracted to deal with the attack of the black-robed demon, which put him in a more dangerous situation.

However, at this critical moment, Bai Ye suddenly remembered the tactics that the soldiers had taught him. He quickly adjusted his fighting style and began to use the terrain and environment to dodge and counterattack. He flexibly shuttled between rocks and bushes, and used the gaps between the black-robed demon and the green demon to attack.

After a fierce battle, Bai Ye finally found an opportunity. He rushed towards the green demon and slashed it in the vitals with all his strength. The green demon screamed and fell to the ground motionless.

Seeing this, the black-robed demon's eyes flashed with fear. He realized that he might not be Bai Ye's opponent, so he turned around and tried to escape. However, Bai Ye had already caught up with him. He grabbed the black-robed demon by the collar and threw him to the ground.

"You can't escape!" Bai Ye roared, and he stepped hard on the chest of the black-robed demon, trying to subdue him. However, the black-robed demon suddenly let out a strange laugh, and then his body began to gradually dissipate.

"Do you really think you can defeat me?" The voice of the black-robed demon echoed in the air. "I am just a phantom formed by the fear and despair in your heart. As long as you have these emotions in your heart, I will never disappear."

Bai Ye was shocked when he heard this. He realized that he had been fighting against the fear and despair in his heart. And this black-robed demon was the embodiment of the fear and despair in his deepest heart.

At this time, heavy snow suddenly fell from the sky. Snowflakes fluttered down, covering the whole world in white. Bai Ye looked up at the sky, and an inexplicable feeling surged in his heart. He realized that this snow might be their only chance to escape from here and find a new life.

He quickly turned around and looked around, looking for materials to build a tent. After some effort, he finally found some branches and leaves, and then began to build a tent. Although the soldiers were gone, their skills and experience remained in Bai Ye's heart forever. With these skills and experience, he successfully built a simple tent.

Then, he went into the tent and started a fire to keep warm. He used the torch in his hand to light a pile of hay, and then carefully guarded the weak flame. He knew that this flame not only represented warmth and hope, but also represented their determination and courage to fight against fear and despair.

The snow was falling heavier and heavier, and the world outside the tent was completely shrouded in white. Bai Ye sat in the tent, listening to the sound of snowflakes falling outside, and an inexplicable peace surged in his heart. He realized that although they had experienced countless hardships and pains, as long as there was hope and courage in their hearts, they would never be defeated.

He closed his eyes and began to pray silently. He prayed that they could find a safe place to start a new life. He prayed that he could find more companions and friends to fight side by side with them and face the challenges of the future together.

At this moment, a faint sound suddenly came. Bai Ye's heart moved, and he realized that this might be the voice of other survivors. He quickly got out of the tent and looked in the direction of the sound. He saw a vague figure struggling hard in the snow not far away.

Bai Ye was delighted, and he quickly ran over to help the man up. When he saw the man's face clearly, he was surprised to find that this was actually one of his former comrades!
"Why are you here?" Bai Ye asked in surprise.

The comrade smiled bitterly and said, "I escaped. But I didn't expect it to be so cold here. I'm almost freezing to death."

Bai Ye felt a strong sense of sympathy and respect when he heard this. He knew that it was very difficult for this comrade to escape. He quickly helped his comrade into the tent and let him sit by the fire to keep warm.

The comrade looked at Bai Ye gratefully and said, "Thank you for saving me. I don't know how to repay you." Bai Ye smiled and shook his head and said, "You're welcome. We are all comrades, and it's only natural for us to help each other."

The two sat by the fire and began to talk about their experiences. They shared each other's joys and sorrows, and exchanged their combat experiences and skills. In this cold snowy night, their hearts became warm because of each other's company.

As time went by, more and more survivors found their tents. Some of them were scientists and engineers who escaped from other laboratories; some were orphans and refugees wandering in the wilderness. Although they came from different places, had different backgrounds and experiences, they were no longer alone because of their encounter with each other on this cold snowy night. Just then, a sudden noise came from a distance, breaking the dead silence in the snow. The sound was like the roar of some large beast, and it was like countless tiny footsteps approaching quickly. Bai Ye's heart was alarmed, he quickly stood up, and scanned the surroundings with a sharp gaze. The soldiers also put down their dry food, held their weapons tightly, and looked nervous.

"Bai Ye, what...what is that sound?" A soldier's voice trembled slightly, obviously frightened by the sudden sound.

Bai Ye did not answer, but frowned, looking through the flying snowflakes, trying to catch a clue in the haze. At this moment, a gust of fog suddenly blew over, bringing with it a biting cold that seemed to freeze a person's soul. The soldiers shivered involuntarily and huddled together, trying to use each other's body temperature to resist the sudden cold.

However, the mist was like the scythe of the god of death, ruthlessly harvesting lives. The soldiers who had just stood beside Bai Ye were swallowed by the mist in the blink of an eye. Their bodies quickly stiffened, and their faces were full of fear and unwillingness. Bai Ye witnessed all this with his own eyes, and an unprecedented anger and powerlessness surged in his heart.

"No! This is impossible!" Bai Ye roared, trying to rush forward, but the fog was like an invisible barrier, blocking him firmly outside. He could only watch his companions fall one by one and turn into cold sculptures.

When the fog finally cleared, Bai Ye was left standing alone in the snow. His clothes were covered with frost, and his hair was covered with ice crystals, but his eyes were extremely firm. He slowly walked to the dead soldiers and began to dig graves for them silently.

"Rest in peace, brothers. I will avenge you." Bai Ye whispered, his voice full of determination and sadness. As he dug, he recalled the time he spent with these soldiers, the laughter, the sweat, the days of fighting side by side... Now, all of them have turned into cold memories.

Finally, Bai Ye buried every soldier. He stood in front of the grave and prayed for them silently before he began to deal with his own affairs. He took out dry food from his backpack, sat on the snow, and ate it in big mouthfuls. Although the food was cold, his heart was full of warmth, which was hatred for the enemy and the desire to survive.

"Bai Ye..." A faint voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Bai Ye's thoughts. He raised his head suddenly and looked around, but he only saw a vast expanse of white snow. Where was the human figure?
"Who? Who is calling me?" Bai Ye asked vigilantly, while tightening the weapon in his hand.

"It's me... I'm in your heart." The voice sounded again, this time even clearer. Bai Ye was stunned for a moment, then realized that this was the voice in his heart, and it was the persistence in survival that motivated him.

"I won't give up! No matter what difficulties I encounter, I will survive!" Bai Ye whispered to himself, as if making a promise to that voice.

At this moment, a gust of wind blew, rolling up the snow on the ground. Bai Ye squinted his eyes and saw something seemed to be moving in the wind and snow. He stood up suddenly, holding his weapon tightly, ready to face the new challenge.

When the snow and wind dissipated, Bai Ye saw a huge green demon standing not far away, staring at him. This demon was different from the one he had killed before, it exuded a stronger stench, and its eyes were full of greed and desire to kill.

"Hmph, it's you again, you disgusting thing! Come on! I won't let you escape this time!" Bai Ye roared and rushed towards the green devil.

The green demon roared deafeningly, opened its bloody mouth, and pounced on Bai Ye. Bai Ye dodged flexibly, while waving the weapon in his hand and slashing at the demon fiercely. The demon screamed in pain, but then attacked Bai Ye even more frantically.

Bai Ye and the demon started a fierce battle. Their figures shuttled back and forth in the snow, and every confrontation was accompanied by deafening noises and flying snowflakes. Although Bai Ye was seriously injured, his eyes became more and more determined, and his movements became more and more rapid.

Finally, in a fierce battle, Bai Ye found the demon's weakness. He suddenly jumped up, the weapon in his hand flashing with cold light, and pierced the demon's heart. The demon let out a shrill scream, and then fell to the ground powerlessly.

Bai Ye looked at the demon lying on the ground, and an unprecedented sense of satisfaction surged in his heart. He finally avenged those dead soldiers and won himself a chance to survive.

However, at this moment, heavy snow suddenly fell from the sky. Snowflakes fell one after another, covering the whole world in white. Bai Ye looked at the snowflakes flying all over the sky, and his heart was filled with loneliness and confusion.

"What should I do next?" Bai Ye whispered to himself, his voice full of helplessness and confusion.

He slowly walked to the graves of the soldiers and prayed for them silently. Then, he began to set up the tent and prepared to spend the night in this cold snowy night.

The tent was quickly set up. Bai Ye went inside and lit the fire. The flames jumped, emitting a warm glow that dispelled the coldness in the tent. Bai Ye sat by the fire, watching the jumping flames, but his mind was filled with thoughts.

"Is this battle... really over?" Bai Ye asked in a low voice, as if seeking the answer from himself.
