Dream Travel

Chapter 17 Different Treatment
"Who will wake up first?" Bai Mu quickly checked the things in the car. He didn't find any powerful equipment like a rocket launcher in the trunk. There was only some ammunition, not a large amount.

Therefore, the best thing to do at this time is to drive away from here directly, no matter whether it is the corpse in the sewer or Matt and others, it doesn’t matter what happens.

Bai Mu confirmed that there were less than ten distorted outlines, which meant that not all of the eleven "silly birds" in the sewer could return, and most of those who did not return had died in the dream.

It seems that there is no problem if he is not present, but is it really safe to run around in the sewers of this world?
There are tentacle monsters here. If you run to other places, there will probably be other monsters. Bai Mu doesn't know where the exit is.

Like a hamster, he packed up everything he thought was valuable in the car. Before leaving Yimeng, Bai Mu had searched through some secret compartments in the car on the way, which saved him a lot of time in searching.

He also gathered some grenades in the car, quickly came to the corpse in the sewer, and tied the grenades to the corpse that already looked like a monster.

When Bai Mu touched the black mist, he felt like he had touched boiling water, and fine bleeding spots appeared on his skin.

Without wasting any time, he quickly completed the binding and wrapped the steel wire with the pull ring around the arms of the corpse in the sewer. If this thing continued to maintain the state of the corpse, it would also be able to defuse the grenades if discovered later.

If this thing really comes back to life, the excessive movement of its arm will pull off the grenade ring, and then this suspected zombie monster will be sent to death.

"What will happen if zombies get vaccinated?" Bai Mu thought of Wilfer. That guy got vaccinated in advance. It seems that even if he is not infected with the virus, the vaccine will be fine and it can be used as a preventive measure.

So... a tube of vaccine was pushed into the corpse in the sewer by Bai Mu. Although the enhanced agent requires vaccine preparation, that was Wilfer's one-sided statement, so it is not certain whether it is true or not.

He already has a box that could change the world, and he uses a tube of vaccine.

The corpse in the sewer was still twitching slightly. Bai Mu glanced at the car and put a flashlight on the ground. The light from the flashlight plus the light from the car lights could reveal most of the information here, among which the corpse in the sewer was the most conspicuous.

After a few more minutes, the twisted outlines of the human figures took shape first, and screams rang out in the sewer.

"Damn it—what's going on!?" Matt's whole body was twitching, his clothes were torn as if they had been burned, and there were a lot of dark red scars on his skin.

It wasn't just him; the other scavengers who returned from the dream were all the same. They didn't have a single piece of complete clothing on them. And unlike in movies and TV shows, the few clothes they wore were only there to prevent harmony...

The clothes on them are torn in a very random way, almost like performance art. However, the places without clothes are covered with scars and blisters. Although they are muscular men, even a gay guy would find them boring.

The scars on the skin were relatively good. Bai Mu, who was observing secretly, saw that Matt and the others' hands were more seriously damaged, as if they had been soaked in sulfuric acid. Even so, he could still move normally. The virus enhancement seemed to have a good effect?

Five of the seven wealthy men returned. Three of them, including the gambler, had more severe corrosion marks on their backs, and the bones could be seen. The injuries on their hands were similar to those of Matt and the others.

The remaining two people were zombies, and they also had similar corrosion marks on their bodies, but the marks only affected the epidermis, and their hands were intact, so they did not look that serious.

Bai Mu observed the scars and had a guess in his mind: the traces of skin corrosion should be caused by the clothes he was wearing. The areas not covered by clothes were normal skin.

Bai Mu looked at himself. His clothes were intact, and he even brought the car he was driving out of the dream. He came back more than ten minutes earlier than Matt and others.

He had such a guess that although Matt and others who returned had large signs of corrosion on their bodies, a lot of things also exploded around them.

It was like an object condensed from mist that could not be integrated into his body after he emerged from the strange dream.

Matt and the others didn't experience the same fog condensation as he did, but items still appeared, though most of them were damaged. Even so, Bai Mu saw incomplete gold nuggets, jewelry, severely damaged gun parts, bullets, snacks, and other items around the gambler. Matt and Buddy also had some, but not as many as the gambler and his group.

There were some black debris on the ground beside them, similar to the grayish-white debris in Bai Mu's hand.

What deserves attention is the things on the side of the gunman Eller. Bai Mu saw a complete pistol, and his hand holding the gun was intact. A tube of vaccine fell to the ground. The vaccine should be the 'breakup fee' given by Thorn.

Finally, there were the two zombies. There was almost nothing dropped around them, except for rags. No black debris was seen on the white screen. It might be that there were none, or it might be that the light source was insufficient for him to see.

Zombies ignored pain and death, so the screams of other people became the source of attraction for the zombies. Two zombies suddenly jumped up and bit the nearest person.

The two people next to the gambler who was still in pain were thrown to the ground. Their back injuries were the most serious, making them almost unable to move. They were pinned down by the zombies, and when their backs touched the ground of the sewer, they let out even more tragic howls.

bang bang-

Two gunshots rang out, and the heads of the two zombies were smashed and fell limply to the ground.

The two people who were bitten by the zombies were twitching all over. Compared with the pain of being bitten by the zombies, the pain on their backs, which was as if they were splashed with sulfuric acid and rubbed violently with the ground, was even more unbearable for them.

"Kill, kill me." The unbearable scavenger looked at the staggering Eller for help.

After Eller saw the surrounding situation clearly through the light of the flashlight, his pupils suddenly shrank. He shot and killed the two scavengers who were bitten by zombies without hesitation, ending their suffering.

Then he looked at the corpse in the sewer warily. The thing had already opened its eyes.

"Why is that corpse turning into a zombie too?!" The gambler's voice was hoarse. The pain, as if he were being skinned, was driving him crazy. His only solace was the amount of broken jewels and gold scattered around him...

What made him even more crazy was that his balls hurt so much that the pain there even outweighed the pain in his back.

I was riding my bike just fine and had even found other survivors who had escaped, so why did I suddenly end up back in this damn sewer?
They collected so many valuables, but why are there only these fragments left? The gold content of those fragments scattered on the ground is not as high as that of any backpack of the seven rich men.

"Could it be that the strange dream is out of control?" Eller was not sure. He didn't know much about the information about strange dreams, but the risk of strange dreams getting out of control was not a secret.

"Why don't we run away quickly! That car..." The gambler was a little surprised when he saw the car still running in the sewer. How could there be such a thing?
"It's too late." Eller shook his head, endured the pain, and retreated cautiously.

Matt didn't have time to curse and ran over quickly.

The sewer zombie 'Torn' opened his eyes, his whole body shaking as if he had been electrocuted, and his flesh and blood rotted bit by bit.

Matt and others were panicked, but not desperate. Through the light, they saw the grenades tied to the corpse in the sewer!

Some of them returned earlier and made corresponding preparations.
