Dream Travel

Chapter 267 Some of them really don't count
The mushroom people act collectively. Originally, they cleaned up the city area by area, like nibbling away at it.

However, due to the white curtain, the mushroom people's clearing became a random process, with the random locations related to the area where the white curtain was active.

Like here, after encountering those war machines, the mushroom people figured they were already here, so they couldn't just go back like that, could they?
Their bodies are flexible and adaptable, capable of opening the outer shell of war machines and devouring the weapons inside completely.

The time taken to clear these war machines was less than an hour, which shows how efficient they were.

"In that case, these war machines can no longer be used, right?" Qianhu felt much relieved as he looked at the war machines whose 'energy' had been consumed by the mushroom people.

She still found the weapon in front of her to be terrifying.

"It's just a weapon. For those who want to start a war, there's still a lot more they can research."

Bai Mu said casually, showing little interest in these weapons that were destined to be of little use to him.

Besides, he does have some large-scale firearms, like Lucyella who can transform. He already has large-scale weapons.

He just can't unleash the light cannon, but he has complete information on the military base.

Given the right conditions, it is also possible to make small laser weapons, and even laser swords.

"If there were no people who wanted to start a war, then there wouldn't be such a weapon, right?" After asking the question, Qianhu realized that he had asked a stupid question.

She watched many videos on the camera; there were so many happy scenes in them. Did those people want war? Obviously not.

However, war still broke out.

"There are only people who like war and people who don't. Some people like war, and even those who don't like war will research stronger weapons in order to avoid war."

Yuri scratched her cheek, a thoughtful look on her face: "If people who dislike war research stronger weapons, they can make people who like war dislike war, right?"

Chito looked at his girlfriend in surprise, clearly not expecting that his silly girlfriend could actually figure out this principle.

People who enjoy war are simply those who are in a position of power. But if they suddenly become the weaker party, can they still enjoy war?

"Why think about these things? This world is doomed. Any further reflection will only lead you to your graves."

Bai Mu stood up, and as he hoisted the weapon crate onto his back, the mushroom-like larva on it showed a hopeful expression, as if hoping Bai Mu would feed it.

He was too small to directly deal with the war machines like his people.

"Let's go find a place to rest; we need to speed things up."

After that group of explorers was wiped out, Bai Mu thought that no second group of explorers would come looking for them.

Then he wouldn't waste any more time, he'd hurry up to the upper level to see the scenery, become a witness, and then leave.

What he wanted was influence. The mushroom man's explanation gave Bai Mu a new understanding of his own uniqueness. Now that he had a new understanding, he should be even more diligent.

Like a real little bee, collecting pollen everywhere... no, he wanted to be a bumblebee, the kind that feeds itself.

"I want to take a shower." Yuri scratched her back. Life at the base was too good, and now she was starting to miss it.

“You, it’s not bath time yet,” Qianhu said from the side.

"But we don't need to conserve fuel now, do we?" Yuri looked at Chito expectantly, gesturing with her hands: "We can just use that coil to boil water, right?"

The high-rise buildings in the city are not warm, so they can't possibly take a cold shower.

“But…” Qianhu hesitated and looked at Bai Mu. She didn’t want to cause trouble for others.

"How about inviting him to shower together?"

"That won't do!" The commander's face immediately flushed red.

Actually, it's possible. Bai Mu listened to their conversation and took out a map projector.

While they were still discussing the bathing issue, they had already found a suitable place on the map.

There are usable bases here, both large and small. Just find a small one; it has all the necessary facilities. Bai Mu looked into the distance, seemed to remember something, and took out his phone to find the Mushroom Man.

These mushroom-like beings possess scanning capabilities over a very wide area. Instead of trying to find potential enemies yourself, why not ask these mushroom-like beings for help?
Are there any other living people nearby?

"There are people active seven kilometers to the west, but they are far away," the mushroom-man's voice came through the phone.

“There are other people active ten kilometers to the north, and they are approaching.”

"south……"

"Alright, alright." Bai Mu quickly called a halt. These mushroom-like beings were indeed convenient for exploring a wide area, but the distances were too far.

Seven or eight kilometers is not a long distance for him, but for Bai Mu, since the other party did not take the initiative to cause trouble, he could not take action directly.

After all, he's a law-abiding person, and he was commissioned to come to this alternate dream, so he can't just make a mess of it.

If someone deliberately causes him trouble, then there's definitely no problem.

Feeling regretful, Bai Mu chatted with the Mushroom Man for a few minutes before returning to the small base she had found.

Since he was already there, he decided to take a shower.

Incidentally, I also summoned Beatrice.

Has this moment finally come? Beatrice thought silently as she looked at the white curtain of the bathing area.

"What are you doing?" White Curtain asked Beatrice as she tried to take off her clothes.

Beatrice's expression twisted slightly: "Are you asking a question you already know the answer to?"

"Haha~ Just kidding. I don't want to do anything under the watchful eyes of those mushroom people. I just have some questions for you."

What are the Mushroom People's concerns?
Beatrice didn't know what the White Curtain and the Mushroom Man had contacted and communicated about, but she was slightly disappointed.

"what's up?"

"Can you handle the situation regarding those two people's health?"

"Oh? You want two collectible toys?" Beatrice looked knowing. "I suggest you take good care of them and then deal with them."

"Who am I?"

Beatrice stared blankly at the white curtain. If she wasn't that kind of person, why would she be here?

“One thing at a time. If you’re the bad guy, you can be dealt with however you want, but not them.”

Beatrice laughed in exasperation: "Aren't bad people human too?"

Some of them are not.

Bai Mu muttered to himself, "They are people, but not ordinary people. Since they are not ordinary people, we cannot treat them with the same attitude we would use to treat ordinary people."

At this moment, Beatrice was speechless. She wished that Bai Mu would treat her as an ordinary person, so that she wouldn't be killed by Bai Mu so easily.

"Then why do you want me to dispose of their bodies? To cover up the crime?"

"It's about giving them a chance; I plan to bring them into reality."

"That's it?" Beatrice secretly curled her lip. Her malice was strong. She directly took Bai Mu's words as Bai Mu wanting to conduct some kind of experimental test.

Those two girls were excellent test subjects. If the test was successful, they were extremely grateful; if it failed...
It's okay to fail. The world is already like this. You won't live long in this world anyway. It's just a matter of dying sooner or later.

Beatrice didn't show this thought. After all, Bai Mu was her new boss. He had already talked back once, so he shouldn't be so tactless as to do it again so soon.
