A Journey of American Comics Starting from the Zombie Universe

Chapter 767 Berry

"Puff!" With a light sound, the tip of the sword pierced through the giant creature's eyes and penetrated into its brain. The giant creature's body suddenly stiffened, and then fell to the ground with a bang. Its body twitched a few times, and then it was completely motionless.

The soldiers looked at the huge creature lying on the ground, and an indescribable excitement surged in their hearts. They finally defeated this terrible creature and saved their lives.

"Everyone has worked hard, let's take a break." Bai Ye looked at the exhausted soldiers, and a warm current surged in his heart. He knew that these soldiers were his most precious wealth, and they were brothers who had experienced the test of life and death together.

The soldiers nodded one after another, and they found a relatively safe place to sit down and rest. Although their bodies were exhausted, their hearts were full of strength and confidence. They knew that this was just the beginning, and there were more unknowns and dangers waiting for them ahead.

After resting for a while, Bai Ye began to check the soldiers' injuries. Fortunately, except for the soldier who was hit by the giant creature's tail, the others were only slightly injured. Bai Ye quickly treated his wounds and let him lie down to rest.

"We must leave here as soon as possible and find a safe place to set up camp." Bai Ye looked at the dark environment around him, feeling uneasy. He knew that this place was full of unknowns and dangers, and they couldn't stay here for long.

The soldiers nodded in agreement after hearing this. They began to pack up and prepare to leave this terrifying place. Before leaving, they also specially checked the corpse of the giant creature, hoping to find something useful. However, apart from the hard shell and some strange runes, they found nothing.

After walking for several hours in the dark, they finally found a relatively flat area. It was far away from the depths of the black desert and relatively safe. Bai Ye decided to set up camp here and let the soldiers rest.

The soldiers began to get busy, some of them set up tents, some looked for water and food. Although the environment here was harsh, they still tried their best to make themselves comfortable.

"Bai Ye, what should we do next?" A soldier walked up to Bai Ye and asked in a low voice. His eyes were full of confusion and uneasiness, and he was obviously worried about the future.

Bai Ye looked at the soldiers, and a wave of sympathy surged in his heart. He knew that these soldiers were ordinary people, and they should have lived in a peaceful environment instead of experiencing life and death trials here. However, fate brought them together, and they must face the challenges of the future together.

"We must find more food and water, otherwise we won't be able to survive here." Bai Ye whispered. He knew that this was their most important task at the moment.

The soldiers nodded their heads in agreement. They began to move separately, some to find water, some to find food. Bai Ye stayed in the camp, responsible for guarding and coordinating.

Time passed by, and the soldiers returned to the camp one after another. They brought some good news and bad news. The good news was that they found a water source. Although the water quality was not very good, it was barely drinkable. The bad news was that they did not find any food. The environment here was so bad that even wild animals and plants had a hard time surviving.

"We must find a way to solve this problem." Bai Ye looked at the soldiers with a determined light in his eyes. He knew that they could not just sit here and wait for death.

The soldiers nodded in agreement. They began to brainstorm and think of ways to solve the food problem. Some suggested going to a farther place to find food, and some suggested setting traps to catch small animals. However, these proposals were rejected because of the harsh environment and the dangers.

Just when everyone was at a loss, a soldier suddenly came up with an idea. "I remember we saw some strange plants when we came here. Those plants look a bit like fruits. We can try to see if we can eat them."

Bai Ye's eyes lit up when he heard that. He immediately decided to let the soldier lead a few people to look for those plants. If those plants were really edible, then they could temporarily solve the food problem.

The soldiers acted quickly, carrying weapons and collection tools, and headed in the direction where they had seen the plants before. Along the way, they carefully avoided possible dangers, fearing that they would encounter any trouble.

After a few hours, they finally found the plants. They looked like fruits, hanging from branches and emitting a faint fragrance. The soldiers carefully picked some fruits and returned to the camp with them.

After returning to the camp, they immediately distributed the fruits to everyone. Everyone couldn't wait to taste it and found that the fruits tasted good, although a little bitter, but barely edible.

"Great! We finally found food!" a soldier shouted excitedly. His voice was full of joy and excitement, as if he had forgotten the previous fatigue and danger.

Bai Ye looked at the soldiers' happy faces, and a warm feeling surged in his heart. He knew that although these fruits were not many, they could at least temporarily solve their food problem. They could continue to move forward and look for more food and water.

However, Bai Ye also knew that this was just the beginning. The road ahead was still long, and they had to remain vigilant and courageous at all times to overcome all difficulties. He took a deep breath and then said loudly: "Everyone, take a good rest, and we will continue to move forward tomorrow!"

The soldiers nodded in agreement after hearing this. They knew that this was their mission and responsibility. They had to persevere until they found their way home.

As night fell, a bonfire was lit in the camp. The soldiers sat around the fire and talked in low voices. Their faces were full of fatigue and worry, but their eyes were shining with determination. They knew that no matter how difficult the road ahead was, they had to persevere.

Bai Ye looked at the soldiers and felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart. He knew that these soldiers were true warriors who were willing to pay any price for their mission and responsibility. He prayed silently, hoping that they could get through this difficult time safely.

As the night deepened, the camp gradually became quiet. The soldiers lay down to rest, ready to face tomorrow's challenge. Bai Ye stayed by the fire, vigilantly observing the surrounding environment. He knew that this place was full of unknowns and dangers, and they had to stay vigilant at all times.

In this way, a night passed. When the first ray of sunlight penetrated the darkness and sprinkled on the camp, the soldiers woke up one after another. They rubbed their tired eyes and began to get busy. They knew that a new day had begun and they had to keep moving forward. In the following days, they continued to move forward, looking for food and water. They encountered various difficulties and challenges, but they did not give up. With their firm will and courage, they moved forward step by step.

However, as time went on, their food and water sources gradually ran out. They began to feel tired and hungry, and their bodies became weaker and weaker. Bai Ye knew that they had to find new food and water sources as soon as possible, otherwise they would not be able to move forward.

During a search for food, they accidentally discovered an abandoned village. Although the village was dilapidated, they could still find some food and water. This made them ecstatic, as if they saw hope for life.

However, when they entered the village, they found it full of weirdness and danger. They heard strange noises and saw strange shadows. They knew that there might be some unknown creature or power hidden here. They had to be careful to avoid danger.

In the following days, they began to search for food and water in the village. They carefully avoided possible dangers, fearing that they would encounter any trouble. However, despite this, they would encounter some strange things from time to time. Sometimes, they would hear strange roars; sometimes, they would see strange figures swaying in the dark.

These strange things made them feel uneasy and frightened, but they knew that they could not stand still here. They had to move on and find more food and water. Only in this way could they survive in this desolate land.

During an exploration, they discovered a mysterious basement. The basement was full of ancient runes and patterns, as if hiding some mysterious secrets. They walked into the basement curiously and began to explore this unknown world.

However, they did not find anything valuable. Instead, they accidentally triggered a trap. After a strong vibration, they found themselves trapped in the basement. They tried to find the exit, but found that it was sealed.

They began to feel desperate and scared, knowing that if they could not escape from the basement, they would be trapped here forever. They began to comfort and encourage each other, trying to find a way to escape.

Just then, they suddenly heard a voice. The voice was deep and powerful, as if it came from another world. They looked around in horror, trying to find the source of the voice. However, they did not see anything.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" The voice sounded again, full of majesty and mystery.

Bai Ye mustered up his courage and answered loudly: "We are explorers who accidentally discovered this abandoned village and basement. We are looking for food and water here, hoping to survive in this desolate land."

The voice was silent for a while, and then it sounded again: "You shouldn't come here. This place is full of dangers and curses. However, since you are already here, I will give you a chance. Deep in this basement, there is an ancient plant seed. You can take it away and plant it in the land. It will provide you with food."

Bai Ye and the soldiers felt hopeful when they heard this. They knew this was their only chance to escape from the basement. They immediately began to look for the mysterious seed.

After a difficult search, they finally found the seed. The seed was placed on an ancient altar, surrounded by mysterious runes and patterns. They carefully took the seed off and fled the basement with it.

After returning to the camp, they immediately began to study the seed. They found that the seed was very strange. It looked like the seed of some kind of fruit, but it was much larger than ordinary fruit seeds. They decided to plant it in the soil to see what it would grow.

With the joint efforts of the soldiers, they finally found a piece of fertile land. They carefully buried the seeds in the soil and waited for them to sprout.

However, as the days passed, the seed never sprouted. They began to feel disappointed and frustrated, thinking that the seed had lost its vitality. However, just when they were about to give up, the seed suddenly broke through the soil and grew a tender green sprout.

They looked at the little sprout with great joy, as if they saw the hope of life. In the following days, they carefully took care of the little sprout, watering it, fertilizing it, and weeding it. The little sprout thrived under their care and soon grew into a lush plant.

A few months later, the plant finally blossomed and bore fruit. They looked at the bright red fruits, their hearts filled with joy and excitement. They tasted the fruit and found it was sweet and sour, very delicious. They decided to name the fruit "mouse berry" to commemorate the difficult years they had spent in this barren land.

With the mouseberry as a food source, their lives became easier and more enjoyable. They began to grow mouseberries in large quantities and use them as their main food source. They also made a variety of delicious foods from mouseberries, such as jams, juices, and dried fruits.

However, they did not forget their mission and responsibility. They knew that they had to move on and find a way home. So, in the mouseberry harvest season, they decided to leave the abandoned village and continue their adventure.

Before leaving, they made full preparations. They collected enough ratberries as a source of food on the road, and prepared some tools and weapons to deal with possible dangers. With ratberries as a food source, the soldiers' lives gradually shifted to farming. They knew that only by being self-sufficient could they survive for a long time in this barren land. So they began to plan carefully and use the fertile land around the camp to plant ratberries.

As a leader, Bai Ye knew the importance of farming and the hardships involved. He personally went to the fields every day to instruct the soldiers on how to better plant and care for mouseberries. He told them that farming was not only a physical effort, but also a test of wisdom and patience.

The soldiers followed Bai Ye's instructions and began to work together. Some were responsible for turning the soil and applying fertilizer to provide fertile soil for the growth of mouse berries; others were responsible for watering and weeding to ensure that the mouse berries could grow healthily. Everyone worked hard, knowing that their efforts would be directly related to the food supply of the entire camp.

As time went by, the scale of mouseberry cultivation gradually expanded. What was originally just a few scattered plants has now become a lush orchard. The soldiers looked at the bright red fruits with a sense of accomplishment and pride. They knew that this was the result of their joint efforts and a miracle they had created on this barren land.
