Dream Travel

Let's delete Chapter 251.

"How was this decryption device made? It works so well!" Bai Mu looked at the decryption device as it started operating. It wasn't big, but its performance was truly powerful.

I don't know which other dream world it's from, but it works here too.

"I don't know... This thing should be universal." The technician from the Ryder Exploration Team shook his head; he didn't know anything about hacking devices.

Or perhaps his understanding was limited, but he was certain that the functionality of this hacking tool was 'limited'.

The hacking tool worked when dealing with the robotic arm, but the main reason he went to great lengths was to get the robotic arm moving.

That thing is just a component; it lacks the corresponding driver.

Soon, the hacker completed the cracking process, and they were certified at the production base, gaining access to the relevant technical information.

Bai Mu didn't bother to look closely; he simply downloaded everything that was available. The download speed was fast, and Bai Mu stared at the screen displaying the flowing data, searching for content that interested him.

It includes design drawings for war machines with associated robotic arms.

"Since this place produces arms, there must be other places that produce other body parts, right? Can you find a map?"

"Of course." The technician's lips twitched slightly. Bai Mu didn't understand technology, but he knew a lot about this kind of thing.

Putting everything else aside, if they could just assemble the means of production for this war machine, they would have already exceeded their mission.

After all, they have explored many areas elsewhere and found many similar production technologies.

Some top-tier war equipment is actually harder to find; the production bases there are not high-profile and are well hidden.

Like this place, who would have thought that this production base is located in a residential area!
The production of various types of missiles may not necessarily be used. The existing industrial technology is what it is, and the basic industries must keep up if production is desired.

But some things can be achieved with effort.

War machines like these are difficult to mass-produce, but in this dream world, they can be slowly pieced together.

Using materials brought from Yimeng, we made it piece by piece and then took it away.

In general, given enough time, it's possible to create the corresponding equipment in reality.

"Alright, you guys get back to work." After downloading the data, Bai Mu looked at the updated map on the map recorder and immediately left.

The members of Ryder's exploration team couldn't hold back any longer: "He trusts you that much?"

"...I didn't lie." The technician's lips twitched slightly; he really hadn't lied to Bai Mu about this.

The maps he found were all genuine, but that didn't stop him from having other ulterior motives. After giving the map information to Bai Mu, he made a note of it and then deleted the relevant information...

The other information remained untouched. The other exploration teams weren't stupid; if they had touched those things, they probably wouldn't have been able to get out.

When Ryder was around, they could still be assertive, but now that they've gotten the benefits, they have to keep their heads down.

The other exploration teams couldn't wait to enter the production base, while the second team was there to provide the acid.

If the acid hadn't damaged the gate, they wouldn't have had such an easy time getting into the base.

Bai Mu left in a good mood; the map he obtained was complete and would allow him to find other production areas.

The production areas for hands and feet are on this layer, but areas like the torso are on the layer above.

However, there is no corresponding entry information on the map, and each production base is independent.

However, this does not affect the search for the white curtain.

The weapons mounted on the robotic arm impressed Bai Mu, but he wasn't without weapons that could rival them.

If you find a suitable spot, you can also make a hole using the light cannon fired from the Spirit Pivot.

Unfortunately, Ling Shu's Dream Erosion attribute has not yet been sublimated, which makes Bai Mu feel that exceeding the limit of output is too wasteful. After the Dream Erosion attribute is sublimated, every output will be an enhancement of the equipment.

Even if the enhancement is very small, one-thousandth is still considered an enhancement.

Humming a little tune, Bai Mu activated his mental scan with a scope, searching for any living creature that might appear within range.

He plans to find a team to settle accounts with.

He was perfectly fine and didn't need to kill anyone—oh, kill a demon—but the reason he was targeted was because someone instigated him.

Although the instigator only provided his information, according to the Ryder Exploration Team, their captain was too greedy.

But Ryder didn't know about the bounty on White Curtain beforehand, so the other party wasn't from Rota City.

But Cortes made his information public. Well, there's nothing to keep secret about him, especially the bounty part; more people will find out about it later.

However, if they keep nagging about these things at this time, they're just bad people!
Everyone came here to conduct legitimate exploration work, but then the bounty was mentioned, and people even came specifically for him?
This is just like a bounty hunter among bad guys; he needs to find an opportunity to take care of his opponent.

Why doesn't Bai Mu feel ashamed about this?
First of all, he has never done anything wrong, and the bounty was not set up by good people. Therefore, the person who sought him out for the bounty must not be a good person.

He's either a bad guy or a gambling addict who wants him dead. Either way, killing him is a good thing.

However, the other party escaped incredibly quickly; even Bai Mu's mental scan couldn't find any trace of them, suggesting they might have already left this layer of the city. Bai Mu wasn't bothered by not finding them; he hadn't come here specifically to kill.

“There’s no one here… Hmm, you’re the one I choose!” White Curtain patted the weapon case, and Beatrice appeared.

The alchemist glanced around and asked Bai Mu, "Are you in trouble?"

"No, I wanted to ask if you have a special formula that can corrode this stuff."

Bai Mu took out a metal fragment.

Beatrice glanced at it briefly before looking away: "I don't have the materials. If you can find the necessary materials for me in this city, I can give it a try."

"Then I'll take a look."

After searching the dead city for most of the day, Bai Mu finally gave up on his unrealistic idea; the city really didn't have many special resources left.

Food and other necessities were extremely scarce, not to mention other chemical resources; in many places, everything had been completely depleted by the war.

Most of what was preserved were things that were no longer needed in the war, or things that were about to be destroyed by the war.

In areas where ordinary people live, electronic devices are rarely seen. Even if they are, they are severely damaged, with internal parts burned out, indicating that they have likely been subjected to some kind of extremely strong electromagnetic shock.

White Curtain found another base, and since Lucyella was no longer a viable option, White Curtain summoned the Light and Shadow Demon.

At the behest of the white curtain, the spiritual fragments of the Light and Shadow Demon covered every crack in the base with light, attempting to infiltrate through those gaps.

And sure enough, he found a place he could infiltrate. The base was out of energy, and many of its defenses had failed.

Based on the light penetration path, he only needs to shrink his body to the size of a southern rat to infiltrate.

"How is that even possible!" The weapon case in the white curtain crackled with lightning. After accumulating enough energy, it released it into the Spirit Pivot firearm.

The double burst of lightning allowed him to blast through the wall in front of him with a single shot.

With severe energy shortages inside the base, there's no need to worry about what this violent destruction might cause.

Just like the previous base, once the gate was opened, there weren't many automated weapons inside.

Seeing the cracks blasted into the wall, Bai Mu stuffed a meatball into his mouth and fired a second shot.

The walls here weren't as sturdy as the doors, and thanks to his relentless attacks, the heavily fortified base gained an extra passage.

He walked into the opened base while scanning with his scope.

The small, tracked defense robot managed to lift its weapon with difficulty.

Before they could even fire, the white curtain had already rushed forward, its Dream Erosion Greatsword piercing the defense robot's sensors.

After clearing away the surrounding navigation robots, White Curtain continued to penetrate deeper into the base.

Aside from the outer walls being the most fortified, the internal access control systems weren't a major problem; he didn't even need to use his gun to breach some of them.

He dismantled everything that could be considered an obstacle on the road, found the base's computer, and activated it.

Elsewhere, energy is scarce, but places like this usually have a reserve of energy supplies, according to the technicians on Ryder's expedition team.

If you're unlucky and encounter a base that's completely out of power, then you'll have to find another way.

Carrying a high-energy battery is a good option, but without the necessary skills, it's difficult to start a computer even with a battery.

After connecting the hacking device to the computer, Bai Mu found a place to sit down and waited leisurely.

The cracker is very powerful, but it takes time to complete the cracking and authentication process, and the specific time varies depending on the differences in firewalls.

Cracking this place will take more than half an hour, apparently because the firewall is not of the highest standard.

Or rather, the firewall levels of many bases' computers have been lowered.

Perhaps the people who can still use these computers realized the serious gap in civilization and deliberately set it up this way, wanting to leave some opportunities for future generations.

However, the people of this world no longer have such an opportunity, which benefits these outsiders.

A beep sounded, and Bai Mu put away his phone. Looking at the hacked computer, he took off his headphones, put his phone away, and began downloading data.

Now he doesn't think the task is that difficult after all.

After downloading the data, Bai Mu looked at the information on the computer and hesitated.

Do you want to delete it? After the cracker completes the authentication crack, BaiMu will have the corresponding permissions, and can perform other operations in addition to downloading data.

Thinking about the exploration points he had previously encountered, Bai Mu curled his lip and directly deleted all the data except for the base personnel's logs.

Those logs are traces left by the people of this world, while the weapon data is the root cause of the world's destruction.
