Journey Through the Marvel Universe Starting from the Zombie Universe - Chapter 746

c742 New Sanctuary

In this barren desert, Bai Ye and the soldiers dragged their tired bodies and moved forward with difficulty. Each step seemed heavier than the previous one, but their eyes flashed with unyielding light. The heat and drought of the desert almost squeezed out every drop of moisture from their bodies, their lips were chapped, and their throats were as painful as if burned by fire.

At this moment, a soldier suddenly brightened up and pointed to the front and shouted: “Look! There’s a bus over there!”

Everyone looked in the direction of his finger, and saw an abandoned bus body vaguely revealed between the sand dunes not far away. Although the bus was shabby, in their eyes, it was like an oasis in the desert, bringing hope of life.

“Quick! Let’s go!” Bai Ye shouted excitedly, leading the soldiers to run in the direction of the bus.

When they finally arrived at the bus, they found that although the bus looked shabby, the body structure was still intact, and most of the windows were broken, but the doors could still be opened miraculously. Bai Ye took the lead in walking into the car and checked the situation inside.

“It looks safe here. We can rest here for a while.” Bai Ye turned around and said to the soldiers.

The soldiers rushed into the bus and found their respective seats to sit down. Although the interior of the bus was covered with dust, it was a rare haven compared to the heat and danger outside.

“Bai Ye, what should we do next?” a soldier asked, with a hint of fatigue and confusion in his voice.

Bai Ye pondered for a moment, then said: “Let’s rest here and recover our strength. When everyone recovers, we will find a way to leave here.”

The soldiers nodded and agreed. They began to take out the water bottles from their backpacks and carefully replenished their water. Although there was little water left in the water bottles, every drop of water was particularly precious at this critical moment.

Bai Ye sat in the front seat of the bus and looked at the desert outside through the broken window. His heart was full of worry and uncertainty, but he knew that as a leader, he could not show these emotions. He had to remain calm and firm to lead the soldiers out of the desert.

“Bai Ye, do you think we can find a way out?” another soldier asked, with a hint of doubt and uneasiness in his voice.

Bai Ye turned his head, looked into his eyes, and said firmly: “We will definitely find it. As long as we unite as one, there will be no difficulties that we cannot overcome.”

The soldiers smiled at each other. Although there was a hint of bitterness in their smiles, the light of hope rekindled in their eyes. They began to share the dry food and water in their backpacks with each other. Although the quantity was limited, at this moment, these simple food and water became a bond between them, making them more closely united.

After resting for a while in the bus, the soldiers’ physical strength gradually recovered. They began to discuss the next plan, and everyone’s face was full of determination and courage.

“We can find a road along the direction of the bus, and maybe we can find a way to the outside world.” A soldier suggested.

“Good idea! Let’s act separately, some people stay in the bus to guard, and the other part will find a way.” Another soldier echoed.

Bai Ye nodded and agreed to their plan. He knew that in this desert, unity and cooperation were their only reliance. After he assigned the tasks, the soldiers began to move.

The soldiers who stayed in the bus carefully guarded this temporary shelter. They were always alert to the movements outside, fearing that any danger would suddenly attack. The soldiers who went out to find the road followed the direction of the bus and carefully moved forward in the desert.

Time passed by, the sun gradually set, and the temperature in the desert began to gradually drop. But the soldiers did not relax their vigilance because they knew that in this desert, the night was also full of dangers.

At this moment, a soldier who went out to find the road suddenly ran back with a look of horror on his face.

“Bai Ye! Quick! We found a group of centipedes approaching this way!” He shouted breathlessly.

Bai Ye’s face changed when he heard this, and he immediately stood up and shouted to the soldiers: “Quick! Everyone prepare for battle! We can’t let these centipedes break through our defense line!”

The soldiers quickly picked up their weapons and stood around the bus, ready for battle. They knew that this was a life-and-death battle, and they had to go all out to save this temporary shelter.

The centipedes moved quickly in the desert, and their numbers were so large that they surged like a black tide. The soldiers watched these terrifying creatures nervously, holding their weapons so tightly that they almost broke.

“Prepare for battle!” Bai Ye shouted loudly.

The soldiers immediately entered combat mode upon hearing this, and they began to shoot at the centipedes. The sound of gunfire, explosions, and the hissing of centipedes intertwined to form a thrilling picture.

However, although the soldiers fought with all their might, the number of centipedes was too large. They kept swarming from all directions, as if they could never be killed. The soldiers’ ammunition began to gradually decrease, and their physical strength began to gradually run out.

“Bai Ye! We can’t hold on!” a soldier shouted.

Bai Ye’s heart sank, and he knew that the situation was extremely critical. At this moment, he suddenly thought of a way.

“Everyone, get in the car! Let’s hit them with the car!” Bai Ye shouted loudly.

The soldiers heard this and ran towards the bus. They quickly got on and started the bus. The bus roared through the desert toward the swarm of centipedes, crashing through it like an angry beast.

The impact of the bus was so huge that it directly knocked a group of centipedes away. The soldiers cheered excitedly in the car, as if they saw hope of survival. However, at this moment, a huge centipede suddenly jumped up from the side of the bus.

This centipede is much larger than ordinary centipedes. Its carapace is extremely hard and seems to be able to withstand any attack. It opened its huge mouth and bit into the bus, trying to swallow the whole bus into its mouth.

Seeing this, Bai Ye immediately controlled the bus to avoid it, but the centipede was chasing after him. The bus scrambles left and right in the desert, trying to get away from the terrifying creature. However, at this moment, one of the bus’s tires was suddenly bitten by a centipede.

The bus suddenly lost its balance and rolled several times in the desert before coming to a stop. The soldiers rolled out of the car, their bodies covered with yellow sand and blood. They groaned in pain and were clearly seriously injured. The huge centipede slowly approached them, with a cruel light shining in its eyes. The soldiers looked at it in horror, their hearts filled with despair and fear.

“Don’t be afraid, everyone! We still have a chance!” Bai Ye struggled to stand up and shouted loudly. However, before he could finish his words, the centipede had already opened its huge mouth and pounced towards him…

At this critical moment, a flash of determination flashed in Bai Ye’s eyes. He quickly took out a rather strange-looking tool from his backpack—a plasma wrench with a flashing blue light. This wrench is not an ordinary thing, but a high-tech equipment that he accidentally obtained during a previous expedition. It has powerful energy output and multi-functional repair capabilities.

Facing the giant centipede coming towards him, Bai Ye didn’t hesitate at all. He grasped the plasma wrench tightly and adjusted it to the highest energy output state. With a low buzzing sound, a dazzling blue plasma beam was ejected from the front end of the wrench, hitting the centipede’s head directly.

The centipede was obviously stunned by the sudden attack. Its hard carapace melted rapidly under the heat of the plasma beam, giving off a pungent burnt smell. Bai Ye took the opportunity to hit him hard several times. Finally, the huge body collapsed with a shrill scream and stopped moving.

The soldiers looked at this scene with shock and admiration in their eyes. They had never seen such a powerful weapon, and they never expected that Bai Ye could use it to save everyone’s lives at such a critical moment.

“Bai Ye, you… your wrench is so powerful!” A soldier gasped, his tone full of wonder.

Bai Ye smiled slightly, said nothing, and just put the wrench back into his backpack. He knew that now was not the time to celebrate, they had to leave here as soon as possible and find a safe haven.

He quickly checked the condition of the bus and found that although the tires were bitten and punctured, the body structure was not seriously damaged. Luckily, his plasma wrench can be used not only as a weapon but also for emergency repairs.

Bai Ye took out the wrench again and began to repair the bus. He manipulated the wrench skillfully, and blue energy beams traveled through various parts of the bus, quickly repairing the damaged parts. The soldiers looked on dumbfounded. They had never seen such miraculous repair technology.

After a while, the bus’s tires were refilled with air and the damage to the bus body was completely repaired. Bai Ye nodded with satisfaction and shouted to the soldiers: “Everyone, get in the car quickly, we have to get out of here quickly!”

The soldiers sprang into action, climbing onto the bus and finding their seats. Bai Ye sat in the driver’s seat and started the bus. The engine made a low roar, as if announcing their rebirth.

However, at this moment, an unexpected situation happened. A series of red warning lights suddenly lit up on the bus’s dashboard, and a rapid siren sounded at the same time. Bai Ye frowned. He quickly checked the dashboard and found that the bus’s flight system had been activated unexpectedly!

“What’s going on? Why did the bus activate flight mode?” Bai Ye was secretly surprised, but he soon realized that this might be their only chance to escape the desert.

He quickly adjusted the control panel and set the bus’s flight system to automatic mode. With a strong vibration, a pair of huge propellers suddenly protruded from the bottom of the bus. With the roar of the engine, the bus slowly lifted into the air.

The soldiers exclaimed again and again. They never imagined that they could fly in the sky on a bus. They grasped the handrails nervously and excitedly, staring intently at the shrinking desert outside the window.

Bai Ye controlled the bus and shuttled flexibly through the air. He carefully avoided the towering sand dunes and steep rocks to ensure a smooth flight for the bus. The soldiers cheered him on, their voices echoing inside the bus, full of hope and courage.

As the flight altitude of the bus gradually increased, they finally got rid of the shackles of the desert and flew into the vast sky. They looked down at the desert below and saw that the land that once made them despair had now become so small and insignificant.

“We…we are really flying!” a soldier shouted excitedly, tears flashing in his eyes.

Bai Ye smiled and nodded, his heart filled with pride and relief. He knew it was all worth it and they finally found a way to escape the desert.

However, just when they thought everything was over, a new challenge quietly came. They found that the sky was covered with thick clouds, and ominous lightning flashed in the clouds.

“No! We seem to have entered a thunderstorm area!” Bai Ye’s face changed, and he quickly adjusted the flight posture of the bus, trying to avoid those dangerous lightning.

However, the scope of the thunderstorm area was too large, and they could not completely avoid it. Lightning raged in the air like an angry dragon, and every time it hit the bus, it would cause a violent vibration and sparks.

The soldiers looked out the window in horror, and their hearts were filled with despair and fear again. They knew that if this continued, the bus would most likely be struck by lightning and crash.

“Bai Ye! What should we do?” A soldier shouted, with a crying tone in his voice.

Bai Ye clenched his teeth, knowing that he could not panic at this moment. He quickly searched for possible solutions in his mind and finally thought of a way.

“Don’t be afraid! I have a way!” Bai Ye shouted loudly. He quickly took out the plasma wrench, adjusted it to the highest energy output state, and then fixed it on the top of the bus.

With a strong flash of blue light, the plasma wrench began to release a powerful energy field. This energy field was like an invisible shield, wrapping the bus in it. Whenever lightning hit the bus, it would be absorbed by this energy field and converted into harmless electric current.

The soldiers watched this scene, and the light of hope ignited in their eyes again. They held the handrails tightly and looked forward firmly.

Under Bai Ye’s control, the bus shuttled through the thunderstorm area with difficulty. Every vibration and spark seemed to test their courage and determination. However, they did not give up, but flew forward more firmly.

Finally, after a long and difficult flight, they finally passed through the thunderstorm area and returned to the clear sky. They looked down at the land below and saw a vast plain in front of them.

“We… We succeeded!” A soldier shouted excitedly, his voice full of joy and pride.

Bai Ye smiled and nodded, his heart filled with emotion and relief. They finally escaped from the horrible desert and found their own land of hope.
