A Journey of American Comics Starting from the Zombie Universe

Chapter 769 Attackers

The night was as dark as ink, falling silently on this vast wasteland. The soldiers passed through the last sparse bushes, and suddenly the view in front of them was clear, and a simple but well-organized camp came into view. The campfires were like fireflies in the night, bringing a touch of warmth and light to this silent land. They immediately quickened their pace and stepped into the camp, as if they were travelers returning home, finally unloading their heavy bags.

In the center of the camp, several tents were built in an orderly manner, surrounded by a simple fence made of wooden sticks and animal skins, which was used to protect against the invasion of wild animals and to mark out a safe area for them. The soldiers found an open space to sit down, and some even lay down on the soft grass, allowing their tired bodies to completely relax at this moment.

"Finally I can take a break." A soldier panted, took out some dry food from his backpack and took a big bite. It was a piece of hard black bread, but at this moment, it seemed like the most delicious delicacy in the world.

"Yeah, it's been a tough journey," another soldier echoed. The canteen in his hand shook gently, making a pleasant sound of water, which was the call of the source of life, making people yearn for it. He raised his head and took a big sip. The cool water slid down his dry throat, bringing a trace of indescribable comfort.

Bai Ye sat aside, his eyes looking beyond the flickering bonfire, looking into the distance, where there was endless darkness, as if hiding countless unknown secrets. He did not immediately join the ranks of those eating, but quietly observed everything around him, his deep eyes flashing with a thoughtful light.

"Bai Ye, don't you want something to eat? If you don't eat now, we will take all the food away." A soldier said half-jokingly, holding a half-finished piece of bread in his hand.

Bai Ye smiled slightly and shook his head, "You guys eat first, I'm not hungry yet." His voice was low and magnetic, always giving people an inexplicable sense of security.

As time went by, the atmosphere in the camp gradually became relaxed. Soldiers sat around the campfire, sharing their stories and experiences, with occasional hearty laughs breaking the silence of the night. Some told of the adventures they encountered on the way, while others recalled every detail of their hometown. Everyone's face was filled with an indescribable satisfaction and happiness.

"When do you think this war will end?" A soldier suddenly sighed, his tone full of helplessness and fatigue.

"Who knows, but as long as we are still here, we have to keep fighting." Another soldier patted him on the shoulder, his tone firm and powerful.

"Yes, for the sake of our families and this land, we cannot retreat." Another soldier took over the conversation, with a firm look in his eyes.

Bai Ye listened quietly without interrupting. He knew that every word of these soldiers was filled with a desire for peace and a vision for the future. Although the road ahead was unknown, they still chose to move forward courageously.

As the night deepened, the light of the campfire flickered in the cold wind, as if it would go out at any moment. The soldiers finished their meals one after another, some began to organize their equipment, and some curled up in their tents, ready to go to sleep. However, Bai Ye remained sitting there, his eyes never leaving the sky.

"Bai Ye, what are you still looking at?" a soldier asked curiously. He walked over and sat next to Bai Ye.

"Look at the stars." Bai Ye answered softly, his voice seemed to blend into the night, appearing particularly soft.

"Stars? It's pitch black here, how can there be any stars?" The soldier looked up at the sky, but saw nothing but darkness.

Bai Ye smiled slightly and pointed to a corner of the sky. "Look, there, although they are faint, they are always there."

The soldier looked in the direction of Bai Ye's finger, and sure enough, in the dark sky, there were a few stars twinkling faintly. They were like the most inconspicuous embellishment in the night sky, yet they existed so tenaciously.

"I never thought that I could see the stars so late at night." The soldier exclaimed, his tone full of surprise and awe.

"Yes, no matter how late it is, the stars will always be there." Bai Ye said softly, his eyes full of depth and thought.

The two of them sat there quietly, not saying anything, just staring at the sky silently, as if at this moment, all the fatigue and troubles were thrown away. Although the light of the stars was weak, it gave them an inexplicable strength and courage, making them believe that no matter how difficult the road ahead was, as long as there was light in their hearts, they could find the direction to move forward.

As time went by, the campfire in the camp gradually went out, leaving only the twinkling stars in the night sky. The soldiers fell asleep one by one, and only Bai Ye remained awake, his eyes still fixed on the starry sky.

"Stars, oh stars, you have witnessed so many joys and sorrows, and so much bravery and fearlessness." Bai Ye muttered silently in his heart. Although his voice was weak, it was full of sincerity and affection.

The night is getting deeper and deeper, and the wind is getting colder. But on this wasteland, there is a camp and a group of soldiers who are guarding this land and the faith in their hearts in their own way. And the starry sky is like a kind old man, silently watching them and giving them endless strength and courage.

"Tomorrow will be a new day." Bai Ye muttered in his heart, his eyes flashing with determination. He knew that no matter how difficult the road ahead was, as long as they were united, nothing could stop them from moving forward.

In this way, the soldiers spent a quiet and long night in the camp. They ate, drank water, replenished their energy, and stared at the sky together to pass the time. Although the night was cold and long, their hearts were full of warmth and hope. Because under this starry sky, they were no longer lonely travelers, but the most solid support for each other.

The night finally came to an end. When the first ray of morning light penetrated the darkness and sprinkled on the wasteland, the soldiers woke up from their sleep. They rubbed their sleepy eyes, stretched, and quickly packed their equipment to prepare for a new day.

Bai Ye stood up and looked at the rising sun in the distance, with an inexplicable excitement and expectation in his heart. He knew that on this day, they would continue to move forward and continue to fight, and they would never give up for the beliefs and ideals in their hearts.

However, at this moment, they just stood quietly in the middle of the camp, enjoying this rare tranquility and peace. They looked at each other, with a firm light in their eyes, as if to say: "No matter how difficult the road ahead is, we will go on together."

In this way, the soldiers spent the last peaceful night in the camp. When the morning light completely dispelled the darkness, they embarked on a new journey, heading towards the unknown. And the starry sky still hung quietly in the sky, silently guarding them and witnessing their growth and transformation.

As the first ray of sunlight completely illuminated the desert, Bai Ye took out a delicate detector from his backpack. Its surface shone with metallic luster, which was particularly eye-catching in the morning light. This detector was an important tool for their trip, which could accurately measure the gravity conditions of the environment.

"Everyone, get ready. We are about to start working." Bai Ye's voice was steady and powerful, instantly attracting the attention of all the soldiers. They quickly gathered around, their eyes full of curiosity and anticipation.

Bai Ye adjusted the detector to the best condition, and then carefully placed it on the ground. The display screen of the detector began to flash, and various data scrolled rapidly, as if telling the secret of this desert.

"Gravity value... start measuring." Bai Ye muttered in a low voice, his eyes fixed on the display screen of the detector, afraid of missing any details. The soldiers also held their breath, waiting for the results of the detection. Time passed by minute by minute, and the display screen of the detector finally stabilized, showing a set of surprising data.

"Is this... is this true?" Bai Ye's voice trembled slightly. He couldn't believe his eyes. The detection results showed that the gravity of this desert was nearly 20% lower than that of the earth's surface!

"Bai Ye, what happened? What's the result?" a soldier couldn't help but ask, his voice full of tension.

Bai Ye took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He looked up at the soldiers, his eyes gleaming with an indescribable light: "The gravity here is nearly 20% lighter than on Earth."

The soldiers were all shocked when they heard this. They looked at each other, as if the whole world had turned upside down at this moment.

"How is this possible? How can there be differences in gravity?" A soldier shook his head in disbelief, his voice full of confusion.

"That's right. Gravity is not constant. It is affected by many factors, such as the mass of the planet, its rotation speed, internal structure, and interference from the external environment." Bai Ye explained patiently, his voice full of professionalism and confidence.

The soldiers listened to Bai Ye's explanation and nodded to show their understanding. Although they were not scientists, Bai Ye's explanation gave them a deeper understanding of gravity.

"So...how does this affect us?" another soldier asked cautiously, his voice full of worry.

Bai Ye pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke: "There is definitely an impact, but the specifics still require further observation and research. However, judging from the current situation, the reduced gravity here may make our movements easier, but it may also bring some potential risks, such as the stability of objects and the adaptability of the human body."

The soldiers fell into deep thought after hearing this, as they knew that in this unknown desert, every detail could be the key to life or death.

"Then...what should we do next?" A soldier broke the silence, with a hint of confusion in his voice.

Bai Ye looked up into the distance, with a determined light in his eyes: "Keep going and explore the secrets of this desert. We must use a scientific attitude and method to uncover its mystery."

The soldiers nodded in agreement after hearing this. They knew that no matter how difficult the road ahead was, as long as they were united, nothing could stop them from moving forward.

So, under the leadership of Bai Ye, the soldiers set out on their journey again. They crossed the desert carefully, always paying attention to the changes around them. In this desert with abnormal gravity, every step they took seemed particularly heavy, but full of hope and expectation.

As time went by, the soldiers gradually adapted to the gravity environment here. They found that although their actions became easier, they also needed to be more cautious and careful, because in this desert, any slight mistake could have fatal consequences.

Bai Ye uses a detector to continuously measure and record the gravity data of the desert. He hopes that through these data, he can find the source of the gravity anomaly and thus uncover the mystery of the desert.

However, as they went deeper into the desert, the situation became more and more complicated. They encountered various challenges and difficulties, such as sudden sandstorms, unpredictable terrain, and unknown creatures hidden deep in the desert. Every encounter made them feel terrified, but also strengthened their determination to explore.

After a sandstorm, Bai Ye and his soldiers discovered a strange cave. The cave was hidden under a sand dune, and the entrance was covered with thick sand. If it weren't for the sandstorm, they would have found it difficult to find its existence.

"Everyone be careful, there may be danger here." Bai Ye warned in a low voice, his voice full of vigilance.

Upon hearing this, the soldiers tightened their weapons and approached the cave cautiously. They carefully dug open the entrance and slowly crawled in.

The cave was pitch black, and the soldiers turned on their flashlights to illuminate the road ahead. They found that the cave was extremely deep, as if it led to the center of the earth.

"Where...where exactly is this place?" a soldier couldn't help but ask, with a hint of fear in his voice.

Bai Ye did not answer, but continued to explore forward. He knew very well that only by walking through it himself could he uncover the mystery of this desert.

As they went deeper into the cave, the surrounding scenery began to change. They saw all kinds of strange rocks and minerals, as well as crystals that flashed strange lights. These scenes made them feel surprised and terrified, because they had never seen such a strange place.

"This...this seems like a huge underground world." exclaimed a soldier, his voice full of shock.

Bai Ye nodded in agreement. He knew very well that this underground world might hide the secret of the desert, and their mission was to find the source of this secret.

So, under the leadership of Bai Ye, the soldiers continued to go deeper into the cave. They passed through the narrow passage, climbed over the steep rock wall, and finally came to a huge underground cave. This cave was spacious and bright, like a natural palace.

"This...is this the place we are looking for?" asked a soldier, with a hint of excitement in his voice.

Bai Ye looked around and nodded: "Yes, this is the place we are looking for. The gravity anomaly here is likely to be emitted from this underground cave."

The soldiers were all surprised when they heard this. They had never expected that such a huge secret could be hidden under this seemingly ordinary desert.
