Dream Travel

Chapter 201 If you want it, go get it yourself

"You still want to run away?" The other party stared wide-eyed at the white screen, looking at the still convulsing member of the organization.

His mental protective abilities prevented him from being charred by the bullet, but he could only barely survive.

The ghosts around us moved very fast, but the white curtain moved even faster. The only ones who could come to our aid were the flying ghosts.

However, the White Curtain had already exploited some of the ghosts' weaknesses, and the lightning further hampered their mobility.

"I have something to ask you."

A glimmer of hope flashed in the psychic's eyes. As long as White Curtain didn't kill him immediately, the organization would have a chance to reclaim his brain, and he could then survive as a technological ghost.

"Forget it, I don't want to ask anymore." After seeing through the psychic's undisguised thoughts, Bai Mu simply shot him in the head.

They quickly left the area.

“…What the hell is this thing?” Inside the base, members of the Dream Organization captured Bai Mu’s every move through drones.

Doesn't this guy care about the danger of the Dream Hole continuing to expand?
They are an illegal organization, so we can ignore them. But how can we ignore the fact that the White Curtain has been in contact with officials from the Bureau of Investigation and Handling?

"What exactly happened?" The base's supervisor arrived, looking displeased. The organization's members operating here were equipped with life detectors.

Once someone dies, the entity will transmit information so that the body can be recovered in time. As long as the body is relatively intact, the deceased organization member can be reused.

Not everyone wants to become a technological ghost.

Once you become that kind of being, it becomes very difficult to have normal contact with living things. But if a person is about to die but has the opportunity to continue living, they will definitely choose the opportunity to live.

And the organization can also conduct some new experiments.

"I'm very sorry, but this Dreamwalker is unexpectedly troublesome. To deal with him, I'm afraid we'll have to use a special kind of ghost."

"..." The base supervisor frowned in thought. There were indeed special ghosts in the base, and quite a few of them.

You should know that those big spenders have very high requirements; they sometimes don't even look at ordinary ghosts.

Therefore, certain special creatures or special people will be provided as ghost material.

Through these connections with wealthy patrons, the organization also obtained a lot of material.

They just didn't want to take those things out at this time, as the city was being monitored by satellites.

The troops blocking this place claim to be "protecting" it, but it would be a huge mistake to think that's all there is to it.

The country behind the military has ambitious goals; its need for the technology here goes beyond simple cooperation—it wants it all.

The reason they didn't openly steal is simply because the organization is still making progress. They want to directly acquire existing technology, and the organization has taken advantage of this to obtain more research materials.

Even if the matter is completely exposed during this process, and the research faces strong resistance due to humanitarian concerns, the superpower can still take direct action...

Anyway, they're not the ones doing the research; they can even play the victim and spout a bunch of nonsense that's easy to believe and move people.

For example, they have already made too many sacrifices in order to investigate this matter... just say whether they delivered those 'consumables'!

Even if they don't expose it, once they feel the technology is mature, they won't hesitate to take action, right?
Given the state of the city, it's simply impossible to transfer technology out.

There are things monitoring from the sky, and underground... can we even dig to the other side of the earth?

Therefore, although the Dream Organization has many unique technological ghosts, they have not yet shown them off; most of them are synthetic technological ghosts.

For example, ghosts like griffins don't have any special abilities; their attacks are still primarily physical.

It's not much different from a normal ghost, but once the base displays a ghost with special powers, the superpowers that are watching this place will definitely "come and demand an explanation".

As for the powers displayed by the White Curtain, the enhanced warriors, that was already known to the superpower long ago.

In response to such situations, the members of the Dream Organization said, "If you're interested, just arrest them. If you do, it's yours."

They are only focused on researching technological ghosts and don't pay attention to those other things, but they can accept related materials.

As for the issue of information leakage, it is possible, but the probability is not high, at least not at present.

Ordinary people can't survive in this city, and the people from the Bureau of Investigation will be expelled after a few days if they stay away from the Source of the Strange Dream.

In addition, since they are realistic people, there is no need for them to actively leak information, otherwise it would easily lead to the source of the dream being targeted.

The fact that the starting point provides a bonus to the Dream Source does not equate to forced hypnosis. Even if the locals of the Dream World know certain information, they can still take action against the Dream Source.

"What news is there about our partner, the beacon nation?"

"They are very interested in the Dreamwalker's weapons."

"Hoo~" The base commander breathed a sigh of relief, somewhat wary, as the technology of this world surpassed that of reality.

They knew about the satellites in the sky, but they couldn't make a specific judgment about their capabilities.

"If they're interested, let them come and get it themselves. Don't let it interfere with our experiments! We'll just provide them with ghost support."

The sound of helicopters filled the air. Looking out into the distance, Bai Mu saw that the army had entered the city, and in considerable numbers, with a very clear objective.

Inside the Elvik Disposal Bureau's base, the director's mood turned very gloomy after learning the news.

This is exactly the situation he least wants to see. Bai Mu is a third party, while the local forces within Yi Meng are a fourth party.

He currently desires a situation of confrontation between two sides, as maintaining this stalemate is essential for them to obtain what they want. If the third party, Bai Mu, were to conduct their investigation discreetly and normally, it wouldn't be a problem. However, this guy is anything but discreet in his actions.

This directly attracted the attention of local fourth-party forces.

Chaos can bring more opportunities, but they don't need chaos here; they need stability!

Faced with an army that suddenly entered the city and seemed to be targeting him, Bai Mu's first thought was that someone was going to send him equipment!

His inability to see these ghosts normally has always been his biggest problem. Continuously running mental scans is a drain on his energy and not worthwhile.

If there were a way to see ghosts directly, he could save a lot of unnecessary resources.

"That's so thoughtful." Bai Mu had even considered getting supplies from the military.

As a result, someone offered to deliver the package, and he almost found a high place to draw SOS on the ground.

"They're coming for me?" Bai Mu then noticed that the army's movements were a bit off.

The goal is too specific.

Without any hesitation, Bai Mu left with the weapon case on his back, intending to obtain the package he wanted through other means, but first he needed to confirm whether they had the corresponding equipment.

It's just that there's something to do to move around in this ghostly city.

"Where did he go?" A soldier tried to find Bai Mu, but Bai Mu was too fast, and the construction debris was no obstacle for him.

Even with a helicopter, no trace of the white curtain could be found.

Their tactical goggles could see the 'ghosts' in the city, but not the white curtain.

The ghosts active in the city subtly coordinated with their actions, searching for traces of the White Curtain.

"..." After scanning with the scope, Bai Mu curled his lip.

Bypassing the nearby ghosts, he kept an eye on the landing soldiers using the Observer Imperial Arm.

They were well-equipped, wearing very distinctive tactical helmets with goggles that he probably wanted.

"Be careful." After landing, the soldiers formed small teams and provided cover for each other.

Their target possessed special weapons and had physical abilities far exceeding those of ordinary people. The orders from above were to capture them alive if possible, and to kill them on sight if capture was not possible.

The order wasn't outrageous; at least it didn't force them to capture the prisoners alive.

Seeing the speed at which the white curtain moved from the helicopter, they knew that forcibly capturing the prisoners alive would result in heavy casualties.

It doesn't matter if they live or die.

No matter how powerful one is, one is still made of flesh and blood. In the face of modern armed forces, physical strength alone is not enough.

"Be careful, the target is getting close." The commander reported the information. They had brought a lot of combat equipment to capture this target.

Including infrared thermal imaging equipment, the city is either filled with moving ghosts or corpses; there are hardly any living creatures.

Soldiers are identified by their uniforms; the white curtain without identification is the only target.

The other party appeared cautious, but their actions had already been exposed.

The team members accurately reported the location of the white curtain.

The soldiers seemed oblivious to the white curtain's presence, continuing their actions as if nothing was amiss. They planned to capture the target as soon as the white curtain fell into their encirclement.

No matter life or death.

Although they had grasped the target's movements, the soldiers still dared not let their guard down, considering the enemy's physical condition.

What makes them nervous is not only the target, but also the ghosts lurking around them!

Through their tactical goggles, they spotted the ghosts, some of which were less than two meters away.

If they didn't have strong enough mental fortitude, some soldiers would have wanted to stay far away from this thing.

"Target nearing completion, location..."

Over the communication channel, the commander's instructions were still being given. The white curtain had already reached above them, presumably intending to break through the ceiling and ambush them.

That's a really useful idea.

As some soldiers were thinking this, before the commander could finish giving his instructions, the ground beneath their feet suddenly collapsed, and the sudden loss of weight caused the soldiers to become briefly confused.

They quickly returned to normal, adjusting their position in mid-air while keeping an eye on the ceiling.

The white curtain did not take the opportunity to attack, and the soldiers landed safely.

Although some people were injured, there were no casualties, which puzzled them. Why didn't the target take advantage of such a good opportunity to make a move?
Was the fall caused by the house being in disrepair?
How could that be...?

"Is this a metal wire?" A soldier noticed the details and saw something that didn't belong here.

Not only that, he also caught a glimpse of a beautiful figure, and a woman?
