A Journey of American Comics Starting from the Zombie Universe

Chapter 768 Camp
At the edge of the desert, the sun was as hot as molten gold, baking the sand. Bai Ye and the soldiers stood at the edge of the camp, gazing at the vast expanse of sand, their hearts filled with uncertainty and anxiety. They knew that this trip would be an extreme test of their will to survive and teamwork.

"Are we ready?" Bai Ye's voice was steady and powerful, although there was an imperceptible worry in his eyes.

The soldiers looked at each other, without saying anything, the tacit understanding and determination were conveyed silently. They nodded, tightly holding the water bottles and dry food bags in their hands, which were their only support in this vast desert.

"Remember, keep in formation, save water, and seek shelter immediately when encountering sandstorms." Bai Ye once again emphasized the precautions before entering the desert. Every word was like a heavy hammer, striking everyone's heart.

Following Bai Ye's order, the soldiers set out on their journey. Their steps were firm and powerful, but every step seemed to be struggling against gravity and high temperatures. The wind in the desert was sometimes as gentle as silk, sometimes as violent as a beast, carrying sand grains across their cheeks and arms like a knife.

"This desert is more cruel than I imagined." A soldier murmured to himself. His voice was blown away by the wind, but the fear of the unknown quietly grew in everyone's heart.

Bai Ye walked at the front of the team, his back like a beacon, guiding the direction and giving the soldiers the courage to move forward. He stopped from time to time and observed the terrain ahead with a telescope, looking for possible water sources or shelters.

"Keep up, don't fall behind." Bai Ye's voice penetrated the wind, like an invisible rope, tightly connecting the soldiers.

As time went by, the sun gradually set, but the desert heat did not subside at all. The soldiers began to run out of energy, and the water in their canteens was running low. They began to feel thirsty, their lips were chapped, and every step they took was like walking on cotton, weak and powerless.

"How far is it?" a soldier finally couldn't help asking, his voice full of fatigue and despair.

Bai Ye stopped and looked back at the team, his eyes showing both determination and helplessness. "I don't know, but we must keep going until we find water."

As night fell, the temperature in the desert dropped sharply, but the cold did not bring any comfort to the soldiers. They huddled together, relying on each other's body temperature for warmth. In the night sky, there were stars, like lights from a distant world, but out of reach.

"We'll get out, right?" a soldier asked softly, with a hint of trembling in his voice.

Bai Ye did not answer, but just looked at the sky silently, with mixed feelings in his heart. He knew that the answer to this question depended on the will and determination of each of them.

The next morning, when the first rays of sunlight penetrated the gaps between the sand dunes, the soldiers set out on their journey again. Their steps had become unsteady, but the determination in their eyes had never wavered. They knew that in this desert, giving up meant death.

"Look, there's a bird over there!" a soldier suddenly shouted, his voice full of surprise.

Bai Ye looked in the direction of his finger and saw a group of birds circling in the distance. That meant there was water nearby, which was their only hope in this sea of ​​death.

"Speed ​​up and keep up!" Bai Ye ordered loudly, his voice full of eagerness and anticipation.

The soldiers seemed to be injected with new strength. They quickened their pace. Although every step was like dancing on the edge of a knife, they still rushed forward without hesitation.

Finally, when the sun was about to rise again, they found an oasis. It was a lake surrounded by sand dunes, the water was clear and sparkling. The soldiers cheered and rushed to the lake. They couldn't wait to scoop up the lake water, letting the cool liquid moisten their thirsty throats and tired bodies.

"We did it!" a soldier shouted excitedly, his tears and sweat mixed together and slid down his cheeks.

Bai Ye stood by the lake, looking at this hard-won oasis, he felt both gratified and emotional. He knew that the test of this desert was just a microcosm of their long journey. But it was this experience that made them more united and more resilient.

"Rest for a while, and then keep moving forward." Bai Ye's voice was calm and firm. He knew very well that although they had temporarily escaped the troubles of the desert, the road ahead was still long and there were still many challenges.

The soldiers sat around the lake, enjoying the rare tranquility and coolness. They shared their stories and talked about their dreams for the future. In this oasis, they seemed to have found their lost hope and strength.

However, when the sun rises again, they must set out on the journey again. At the end of the desert is the unknown shore, which is also the home they long for in their hearts. They know that only by moving forward can they reach the land of their dreams.

In this way, under the leadership of Bai Ye, the soldiers set out on their journey again. Although their steps were heavy, their hearts were full of hope and courage. They knew that no matter how difficult the road ahead was, as long as they relied on each other, there would be no difficulties that could not be overcome.

The wind in the desert is still blowing, carrying sand and the smell of the unknown. But the soldiers are no longer afraid, they use their tenacity and perseverance to write their own legend.

In this vast sea of ​​sand, their figures gradually faded away, leaving behind only a series of footprints of varying depths, recording the path they had walked. And that oasis became the eternal beacon in their hearts, guiding them in the direction of their journey.

"We're going home, right?" a soldier asked softly, his voice full of anticipation.

Bai Ye did not look back, but walked forward silently. His back was like an indestructible mountain, giving the soldiers the courage and strength to move forward. He knew that as long as there was a home in his heart, no matter where he went, it would be his home. In the depths of the desert, the sun was as hot as molten gold, baking the sand, and the air was filled with a repressive and tense atmosphere. Bai Ye and the soldiers were walking along a winding path, their steps were heavy and firm, and every step seemed to be a silent struggle against this sea of ​​death.

Suddenly, a burst of hurried and chaotic footsteps broke the silence of the desert. Bai Ye stopped immediately, his eyes became sharp and alert, and he quickly looked around, trying to find the source of the sound.

"It's a wild dog!" a soldier shouted in horror, with a hint of trembling in his voice.

Bai Ye looked in the direction of his finger and saw a group of skinny wild dogs with messy hair running towards them. The eyes of these wild dogs were full of wildness and madness, and saliva was dripping from their mouths, obviously driven by some unknown force.

"Quick! Prepare for battle!" Bai Ye ordered loudly, his voice full of urgency and determination.

The soldiers reacted quickly, taking out weapons from their backpacks. Some held daggers, some held sticks, and some pulled out pistols. They stood in a circle, back to back, holding their weapons tightly in their hands, ready for the upcoming battle. The wild dogs were getting closer and closer, their speed was amazing, as if they were hunters who had been running in this desert for a long time. There was greed and cruelty in their eyes, as if they wanted to tear these humans who had entered their territory into pieces.

"Be careful! They may have been affected by radiation and are behaving abnormally!" Bai Ye reminded again, his eyes full of solemnity.

The soldiers were shocked when they heard this. They knew that radiation was extremely harmful and could change the genes and behavior of organisms. These wild dogs were no longer ordinary beasts, but monsters that posed a deadly threat.

At this moment, the wild dogs attacked. They rushed towards the soldiers like arrows, opened their bloody mouths and showed their sharp fangs. The soldiers were not afraid at all. They waved their weapons and fought a desperate battle with the wild dogs.

The battle was extremely fierce, with soldiers and wild dogs fighting back and forth. Daggers scratched the wild dogs' fur, and sticks hit the wild dogs' bones, making dull sounds. Pistol gunshots came one after another, and bullets drew hot tracks in the desert, hitting the wild dogs' bodies and splashing blood.

However, the wild dogs were numerous and extremely ferocious. They seemed tireless and insensitive to pain, and repeatedly pounced on the soldiers, trying to tear them to pieces. Although the soldiers were brave, they gradually became powerless under such an attack.

"Hold on! We can't give up!" Bai Ye shouted loudly, his voice full of encouragement and motivation.

The soldiers heard this and felt a surge of strength in their hearts. They gritted their teeth, brandished their weapons, and fought the wild dogs more fiercely. Their eyes were full of determination and courage, as if they were determined to completely crush the fear and despair in the desert.

At this moment, a soldier suddenly discovered the weakness of the wild dogs. He found that although these wild dogs were ferocious, their eyes were extremely fragile. As long as they were hit in the eyes, they would lose their fighting power instantly.

"Attack their eyes!" the soldier shouted, his voice particularly loud in the battle.

Upon hearing this, the soldiers adjusted their attack directions. They aimed at the eyes of the wild dogs and swung their weapons vigorously. The daggers slashed across the wild dogs' eyeballs, and the sticks hit the wild dogs' eye sockets, making crisp sounds. The pistols also fired more accurately, and the bullets shot directly into the wild dogs' eyes, killing them instantly.

Under the fierce attack of the soldiers, the number of wild dogs gradually decreased. They began to appear panicked and helpless, and no longer attacked as fiercely as before. The soldiers seized the opportunity and continued to launch a fierce offensive, killing the remaining wild dogs one by one.

The battle finally ended, and the soldiers collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath. Their bodies were covered with blood and sand, but their eyes were full of victory and joy. They knew that they had just experienced a life-and-death battle, but it was this battle that made them more united and stronger.

"We won!" a soldier shouted excitedly, with a hint of trembling in his voice.

Bai Ye stood aside, watching the soldiers silently. He felt both relieved and emotional. He knew that this battle was just an episode in their long journey, but it was this experience that made them cherish the friendship and trust between each other even more.

"Check the wounded, organize the equipment, and let's move on." Bai Ye's voice was calm and firm, and his words were full of strength and determination.

The soldiers stood up and began to check each other's injuries. Fortunately, although the battle was fierce, they were not seriously injured. They quickly packed up their equipment and set out again.

The wind in the desert is still blowing, carrying sand and the smell of the unknown. But the soldiers are no longer afraid, they use their tenacity and perseverance to write their own legend. They know that no matter how difficult the road ahead is, as long as they rely on each other, there will be no difficulties that cannot be overcome.

At this moment, a soldier suddenly stopped and pointed to a sand dune in front of him and said, "Look! There is a fire over there!"

Bai Ye looked in the direction of his finger and saw a faint fire flickering behind a sand dune. The fire was particularly eye-catching in the desert, as if it was guiding them in the direction they were going.

"Maybe there is someone there." Bai Ye guessed, his eyes full of anticipation.

The soldiers quickened their pace upon hearing this. They ran towards the direction of the fire, their hearts full of hope and curiosity. They wanted to know what secrets were hidden behind the sand dunes, and what stories were waiting for them to discover.

As the distance got closer, the fire gradually became clearer. The soldiers found that it was a small camp surrounded by sand dunes, and the campfire flickered faintly in the night. They approached the camp cautiously and tried to observe the situation inside.

At this moment, a figure suddenly walked out of the camp. It was a man wearing ragged clothes and with a haggard face. When he saw the soldiers, a trace of surprise and fear flashed in his eyes.

"Who are you? Where are you from?" he asked in a trembling voice, as if he was afraid of something.

The soldiers did not answer, they just looked at the man silently. They knew that in this world full of unknowns and dangers, everyone needed to remain vigilant and cautious.

Bai Ye stepped forward and said with a smile: "We are travelers and we are lost. Excuse me, can you tell us where we are? Is there any water or food?"

Hearing this, the man hesitated for a moment, but when he saw the tired and eager eyes of the soldiers, he finally nodded.

"This is an abandoned camp in the desert. There is a small amount of water and food here, but not much. You can rest here for one night and continue on your journey tomorrow." He said, with a hint of helplessness and sympathy in his tone.

The soldiers were filled with gratitude when they heard this. They knew how lucky it was to find a safe haven in this dangerous world. They thanked the man and walked into the camp.

Although the camp was simple, it was enough to temporarily keep them away from the heat and danger of the desert. They sat around the campfire, sharing their stories and experiences. In this small space, they felt the warmth and peace of home.

However, they also know that this is only a temporary stop. Tomorrow, they will continue to move forward to explore the unknown world and find their home. But no matter how difficult the road ahead is, they will go hand in hand and face all challenges and difficulties together. Because in this world full of unknowns and dangers, only by relying on each other can we go further and more steadily.
