Dream Travel

Chapter 202 Breaking in
"Watch out, there might be something wrong here... Ahhh!"

The appearance of electric snakes caused the soldiers inside the building to scream in agony, and the ghosts also revealed themselves under the stimulation of the lightning.

But no one present paid attention to the ghosts anymore; the intense electric current threw them into chaos.

Lucyella licked her lips; she could already smell the aroma of meat. However, Bai Mu was averse to cannibalism, and even she was affected by it.

Especially after she no longer needed to eat people to survive.

"What happened? Report back immediately!!"

The commander attempted to contact the missing squad via communications, but communication problems prevented them from obtaining accurate intelligence.

Infrared thermal imaging equipment can only detect that a soldier has been attacked.

The exact cause is still unclear, but the attack affected all the soldiers who entered the building.

"You didn't kill them?"

Lucy Ella asked the White Curtain.

"No need to kill them for now." Bai Mu glanced at the unconscious soldiers. He was already very skilled at using the weapon crates and could ensure that the lightning he released wouldn't kill them.

As for those ghosts, we can just destroy them. He obtained the information about the infrared thermal imaging equipment through the Teigu's Insight.

Lucyella is not a living person, so her presence will not be detected by that thing when she is on the move.

White Curtain removed a soldier's helmet and found it was broken.

The electric shocks worked well, but the damage to these electronic devices was also obvious. Whitescreen had done everything it could to avoid this, but the results were still unsatisfactory.

After some searching, I finally found a usable tactical helmet, although it looked a bit damaged.

The information displayed on the tactical eyepiece is incorrect, but the eyepiece itself can be turned on.

After attaching the object to his waist like a captured head, Bai Mu found two more that were barely usable and began the subsequent waiting and ambush.

He piled the soldiers together, which reduced the effectiveness of the thermal imaging equipment, and the commander could no longer clearly see the situation inside the building.

However, the commander's professional skills were there; he analyzed what kind of attack the team had suffered—it was probably the electric shock from the box in the white curtain…

The box was important, but the weapons used by the White Curtain were equally important.

The enemy wiped out the entire operation force in one fell swoop. They clearly did not underestimate White Curtain, but the commander was still shocked by the speed of the annihilation.

Is this guy even more powerful than a ghost?

Okay... much more powerful than a ghost.

"Operation terminated." The commander prepared to negotiate with White Curtain.

But before he could speak, a figure darted out from inside the damaged house. This figure knew the location of all their personnel.

They took down everyone with superhuman speed. Some tried to shoot, but this group was the first to be taken down.

The white-clad figure, having succeeded, swiftly snatched a soldier's tactical helmet, put it on his head, and sped away.

The entire operation was swift and efficient. The commander didn't even get to say what he wanted to say, and it ended up as an angry "FK!"

He realized that this operation was like delivering a package to someone. No, how could a well-equipped and well-trained combat unit encounter such an accident?
It's clear that everything is under their control, yet their actions also seem to be controlled by the White Curtain.

"Let's rest first." The entire task force was nearly wiped out, so pursuing them was no longer feasible.

As for the ghosts, the commander did not expect them to be affected by the manipulated electric current, and even to be affected so strongly.

The white screen simply took away the soldier's combat equipment, which made his location clear. That thing had a tracking function and could synchronize the footage through tactical goggles.

"...?"

After synchronizing the images, the commander was stunned by the white screen's movements. After getting the item, this guy actually started heading towards the nuclear power plant.

"Check the wounded first." The commander quickly issued the order. The White Curtain was moving very fast, and they could give chase, but the condition of the wounded still needed to be confirmed.

"They're all alive, just stunned by the electric shock," a soldier quickly reported.

The lack of casualties actually slowed down their operations, but the absence of casualties also lessened the pent-up anger within them.

"Leave two of you behind, the rest of you follow me."

The operation could be declared a failure, but after realizing that White Curtain's purpose was not so simple, the commander decided to observe the situation.

The person who got the tactical helmet could see the ghost directly through the white screen.

The helmet has a full charge, enough to last him a long time, which is plenty of time for Bai Mu to do many things.

He rushed to the nuclear power plant as fast as he could, with ghosts constantly appearing to intercept him along the way. However, once their invisibility became ineffective, they no longer posed a problem for the White Curtain.

Inside the nuclear power plant, a large number of ghosts emerged. This is an important area for the Dream Organization, and they will not allow the White Curtain to cause trouble.

Once they got closer to this area, it wouldn't be so easy for Bai Mu to rush in.

A ghost approached the white curtain, but the white curtain shot it, blowing half of its body apart. The remaining half of its body still charged towards the white curtain, but the white curtain swung its weapon box and sent the ghost flying.

The weapon crate crashed to the ground, and the thunderstorm cleared away the surrounding ghosts. White Curtain, having gained an opening, broke out of the ghosts' encirclement and was about to force its way into the nuclear power plant when a bombardment blasted out from the entrance.

Even though Bai Mu used the weapon crate to defend himself, a layer of frost still covered his body.

"what is that?"

The commander stared at the screen, and when the white screen was attacked, the footage was also synchronized through the tactical eyepiece.

He was certain that it wasn't a normal humanoid ghost, but a ghost made of some strange thing.

That thing directly emitted some kind of long-range attack. Although it was also a condensed state, it exploded abnormally.

This organization is definitely hiding something important!
The commander immediately made a judgment. As the commander of the action unit, he knew more intelligence, and now that he had discovered the anomaly, he immediately recorded it.

At the nuclear power plant base, members of the Dream Organization blocked the intruder White Curtain, and a large number of ghosts surrounded him, but the lightning released by the box severely disturbed the ghosts.

To effectively stop the White Curtain, the only option is for humans to intercept it. Even if the White Curtain cannot directly eliminate these ghosts, the ghosts will not be able to do anything to it.

unless……

“No need to hide it anymore.” Marius entered the monitoring room, looking coldly at the white screen displaying the battle: “The helmet he’s wearing has already leaked the information he’s seeing.”

"There's really no need to hide it anymore."

The base commander said from the side that the operator released the hidden ghost without any hesitation.

Marius is the source of the dream, and his status here is the same as that of the supervisor. However, as members of the dream organization, they obviously obey the supervisor.

Marius's words are useful unless specific orders are involved, but when it comes to the organization's future development, they will listen to their superiors. Marius hadn't noticed this problem; he was a research fanatic, and condensed matter physics was just one step in his research. He wanted to further improve this technology.

When the organization first contacted him, the research facilities at the nuclear power plant were in a state of leakage, and they helped deal with those ghosts.

Although they didn't need to do much at that time, this was Marius's starting point, and he had a great chance of escaping danger here.

Moreover, an action team had already come to this place, intending to resolve the problem.

However, the arrival of the organization changed everything.

Outside the base, Bai Mu looked at the new type of ghost with a cautious expression.

Compared to other ghosts, these newly appeared ones possess special powers.

There were ghosts in both human and beast forms, and two of them had something that looked like flames burning in their hands.

Flames can be seen without tactical goggles, and there are also some beast-shaped ghosts that possess a special power.

Bai Mu was curious about how their abilities worked, but he was already getting excited.

After retreating a short distance, Bai Mu took out all the food and began eating on the battlefield under the puzzled gaze of the monitoring personnel.

He eats very quickly, and even being chased by ghosts can't stop him from being a glutton.

After the large amount of jerky was eaten up, Bai Mu returned even faster, using the weapon box in his hand to deflect a fireball that was thrown at him; the explosion was blocked by the weapon box.

The white curtain that burst forth from the explosion has transformed into golden eyes, and its speed has increased dramatically.

The ghosts couldn't keep up with him at all.

Inside the nuclear power plant, Marius frowned as he stared at the white screen in the monitor, looking somewhat irritated.

He had personally dealt with people with special abilities, but none of them could generate electricity, and the magnetic field created by the electric current from the white curtain interfered with the stability of these ghosts' bodies.

If he had used any other power, the ghost wouldn't have appeared so 'passive'.

"Disgusting." With a single sword stroke, a ghost's arm was severed. Green electricity remained on the ghost's body, but as the electricity disappeared, its severed arm regenerated along with the flowing 'smoke'.

Fighting these unkillable ghosts is a waste of time. Bai Mu crushed a few bottles, and the scattered iron filings spread with the air currents generated by his sword swing.

Affected by the iron filings, the ghosts moved even more slowly, and he took the opportunity to rush into the nuclear power plant.

Seeing the ghost blocking the passage, Bai Mu slammed the weapon case on the ground and pulled out the Ling Shu firearm from the side of the case that had popped open.

The Spirit Pivot, equipped with a sniper module, was enhanced with a weapon case for charging. As Bai Mu pulled the trigger, a bolt of lightning shot out, scattering the ghosts in front of him.

The tactical goggles showed a large amount of 'smoke' filling the passage. The smoke was trying to condense, but the residual green lightning caused the ghost to temporarily lose its ability to revert to its original form.

The white curtain quickly passed through the passage.

During this time, members of the Dream Organization intercepted them. Among these people were some experts, but they were human and did not have protective gear to cover their faces. Their movements were also within the observers' expectations.

Maintaining the white curtain that allows demonic energy to be released is like bullying children when dealing with these people.

Given that their current thoughts and subsequent actions were anticipated, White Curtain didn't need a second move to deal with them.

Where he went, all that remained were corpses cleaved in two by the greatsword.

"Stop him!" Marius stared anxiously at the monitor. Before the white curtain appeared, he never thought anyone could break into the nuclear power plant.

"Activate the employer's ghosts first." The base supervisor frowned deeply. The White Curtain's strength exceeded their expectations, and the intercepted ghosts possessed special powers.

However, the White Curtain didn't engage the ghosts in direct combat at all. After a brief probing, it bypassed the ghosts and charged straight towards the laboratory inside the nuclear power plant.

The other party seemed to know this place very well; in a very short time, the white curtain rushed to the area where ghosts were stored.

boom--

Bai Mu, who had just passed the corner of the passage, raised his weapon case and blocked the sudden attack. The blow made him feel as if he had been hit by a tank, and he staggered back several steps.

The creature that made the attack was a giant gorilla ghost, about three meters tall.

Bai Mu didn't engage in a prolonged fight with the thing. Instead, he threw out a bottle of iron filings, which stained the gorilla ghost's body.

This ghost's body seems to possess some kind of 'magnetic field,' thus it has a strong attraction to these iron filings and is also restricted by them.

Because of this thing, when a ghost hits a person, it can cause a burn on the person's skin.

As for the inside of the body, it will freeze due to the condensed state characteristics of the ghost itself.

Taking advantage of the gorilla ghost's restricted movement, the white curtain quickly bypassed it.

"How could he be so despicable!?" Marius's eyes widened.

“Let’s retreat first.” The base commander frowned and pulled Marius back. “It’s no longer safe here.”

"I'm taking my research findings with me too!" Marius was very unwilling, but he knew it would be dangerous to stay here.

Bai Mu's purpose was too clear, and this guy was not someone that ordinary experts could deal with.

The base has experts capable of fighting ghosts, but even such experts were cleaved in two by Bai Mu's sword.

There was no time to use any skills; Bai Mu achieved a swift kill with sheer speed and anticipation.

"Hurry up." The supervisor nodded and gave a wink to the person next to him as Marius turned around.

Marius and his entourage went to collect the research materials.

The base commander stared at the white screen and memorized his appearance.

It's not that their organization lacks skilled individuals, but rather that these skilled individuals are not frequently present.

After all, time in the alternate dream is not synchronized with reality, and most of the time, the more powerful members of the organization are outside.

Especially recently, the organization has been working on a big project: their people are helping an employer capture a powerful demon.

The employer's offer was very tempting; if they could successfully complete this deal, the organization could try producing ghosts in reality.

Leaving now is quite disheartening, but if the technology can make it a reality, then this fantasy is no longer important.

Ultimately, the reason is that things from the alternate dream world are difficult to take out intact.

No matter how much you develop here, the only thing you can ultimately gain is the 'knowledge' of using others' resources to your advantage.

Therefore, if some things are impossible, it's better to simply leave with the most valuable things.
