Dream Travel

Chapter 343 is mostly filled with minor characters.

"It seems this demon lord isn't doing too well in Hell."

Bai Mu looked at the convoy in the distance. Judging from its size, the convoy should have been arranged from the camp.

The supply depot couldn't produce such a convoy. Lexenbra had devoured many fragments of demonic souls and had also obtained related information.

There are many demon lords in Hell, but Hell is also vast.

Information transmission is not very effective; many demon lords do not interfere with each other, and there is even hatred between them.

Otherwise, if things really get out of hand here, many demons in this hell will be in an uproar, right?
The human side must have considered this possibility.

As for the foreign demons, they clearly had other plans and no intention of leaking information.
Moreover, Bai Mu has been targeted by external demons during his operations, but he has not yet engaged in combat with them.

"Mr. Bai Mu, we meet again." The team leader got out of the car and glanced at the things piled up behind Bai Mu.

There are many things like hell metal and hellhack, as well as other items. Hell doesn't only produce hell metal and hellhack.

There are other materials, such as special plants that grow in hell. Hell is resource-poor, but it is not without resources.

"As before, these things... well, I'll go back with you."

“Okay.” The team leader nodded without hesitation. The operation against the demons had been ongoing.

Many other units achieved even better results than White Curtain, but White Curtain was always operating alone.

They move like the wind in Hell, inflicting great losses on demons and reaping resources from their territories.

With fewer resources in the demon realm, the human faction has more opportunities.

Bai Mu, who has been playing jungle, now wants to go to the camp, and the camp is very welcoming to him.

There are connections between the camps. Many camps know about White Curtain, and they will keep an eye on him when he is active in the vicinity.

There's no other reason; Bai Mu is just one person, and he can't handle many of the resources, while the human forces desperately need those resources.

The presence of the White Curtain near those camps means that the nearby camps can obtain a large amount of resources.

Of course, the records of Bai Mu's contributions are shared, and the other camp will not ignore him just because he is doing things here.

The campsite Bai Mu visited this time was a bit larger than the one last time, but the atmosphere wasn't much different from the last one.

Everywhere you look, everyone is busy. Hell is not a place for enjoyment or sightseeing. Even if you take a lot of photos in the white screen, it doesn't change the fact that Hell is terrible.

"I plan to infiltrate the Demon Territory and take a look." Bai Mu did not hide his purpose, and the camp leader's expression twitched slightly.

There's a consensus across the camps that White Curtain's abilities are outstanding, but he's definitely not an honest person.
But it was this dishonesty that made Bai Mu the most outstanding among the many loners.

Many camp leaders are inquiring about the origins of the white curtain, but there isn't much information available.

"This is no joke." The camp leader looked seriously at the white screen.

In the past, some self-assured lone wolves have attempted to infiltrate the demon territory, but it is unwise to do so in demon lands.

This is not the human world. You can enter another city by disguising yourself, or even without disguising yourself.

In a place inhabited only by demons, it would be virtually impossible for humans to infiltrate.

"We can't keep at this stalemate forever, can we?"

Bai Mu took out his camera and flipped through the photos.

The photos show many human skeletons in a demon stronghold. These skeletons have undergone special treatment and become the demons' collectibles.

There are quite a few skeletons; the photos taken by Bai Mu alone show at least a thousand skeletons.

According to information provided by the previous camp, far too many humans have died in this hellish place.

When Bai Mu was hunting in the wild, he also encountered humans who had accidentally wandered into hell. Many of them looked unhealthy and were dressed in rags. Most of them were unlucky people from some war-torn areas.

They were already unfortunate enough, but being dragged into hell made their situation even more unfortunate.

Bai Mu tried to communicate with the other party, but the communication failed. However, due to Meng Shi, there was no language barrier.

That kind of situation only happens in reality. In the dream world, everyone would be affected by the dream erosion brought by the dream source, and communication would be difficult.

However, because they were in a war-torn region, those people did not believe Bai Mu's words at all and remained extremely wary of him.

The white curtain can only point those people in one direction; after that, it's difficult to manage them.

There are just too many people like this; the closer you get to the Demon Territory, the more unfortunate souls you'll find.

Many demons are searching for unfortunate souls who have been caught up in the strange dream, but these demons no longer primarily aim to kill outsiders.

The devil is capturing those outsiders.

"Of course we can't stay in the status quo forever. The more people die here, the more dangerous the Dream Source becomes, but we have other plans."

The person in charge shook his head, not going into too much detail. Bai Mu wasn't a member of the military, and what he was doing was too dangerous; he could easily get himself into trouble.

It's not a good thing for Bai Mu to know too much, but it's also unrealistic to try to stop Bai Mu.

So the person in charge simply changed the subject: "You have made a lot of contributions now, and you can exchange them for many things."

"Do you have tanks?" Bai Mu asked after thinking for a moment. "Other armored vehicles are fine too."

"..." The person in charge's eye twitched slightly. Seeing the other party's expression, Bai Mu was surprised. There really was one?

When he arrived at the camp, he only saw some transport vehicles and the like; he didn't see any war equipment at all.

“We can talk about the car. Didn’t you want to customize a car? The camp can start making it right now. It’s much better than your ‘Wild Hell’ and more fully functional.”

The person in charge was recommending the new car to Bai Mu like a salesperson.

Motorcycles are nice, but compared to four-wheeled vehicles, they obviously lack functionality.

For example, when resting in the wilderness, the experience provided by a motorcycle is not as good as that of a four-wheeled vehicle.

There are also parameters such as power, etc...

The person in charge was very eloquent; even Bai Mu was persuaded and decided to make a change.

The biggest reason the other side argued for persuading Bai Mu was that the four-wheeled vehicle could carry more cargo, allowing Bai Mu to carry more weapons.

The person in charge made it very clear: it was impossible for the military to cooperate with Bai Mu's operations, even though Bai Mu had killed many powerful demons.

But these are all things outside of Demon Territory, and now is not a good time to attack Demon Territory.

Moreover, White Curtain is not a professional spy, and infiltrating Demon Territory would not bring much help to the troops; on the contrary, it might leak important operational intelligence.

Demons can manipulate souls, and it's incredibly easy for them to extract information directly from human souls.

Therefore, the camp can only let Bai Mu exert his abilities on his own based on Bai Mu's contributions.

What they can offer is equipment and weapons.

"Then I have a question."

"Ask away." The person in charge nodded calmly. As long as it wasn't about cooperating to deal with the Demon Territory, it was fine for Bai Mu to ask some questions.

"Is it that information about us is only available in a small area of ​​Hell?" "..." The person in charge nodded: "That's the case for now. We've been trying our best to prevent information from leaking out, otherwise things here will become even more chaotic."

This can be considered a tacit agreement among the three forces: to concentrate the fighting here. If the news is leaked widely, it will attract the attention of other demons, and no one can achieve their goal.

The demon lord didn't want to share the spoils with other demons, and humanity didn't want more hellish demons to get involved, lest they become completely unable to fight back.

They probably don't want to add too many variables if it's an alien demon.

"So you got this car?" Luciela asked, looking at the white-clad new car.

The motorcycle was left at the campsite. It still belongs to Bai Mu, and she can come back to retrieve it anytime she needs it. No one will touch it.

“Yes, Wild Hell II.” Bai Mu reached out and patted the car.

This car has a more powerful engine, but compared to the Wild Hell, the engine's horsepower is only increased by a little over 20%.

It doesn't seem too outrageous, but the engine of this car is more stable, and further improvements are not out of the question.

However, the designers considered the material limitations of Hellmetal.

While it didn't offer a significant increase in power, the second vehicle's overall performance far surpassed that of the motorcycle in terms of range and stability.

More importantly, this vehicle can carry more cargo; it's a seven-seater SUV, designed for practicality in hell, while also serving as a cargo vehicle.

The car is now crammed with heavy weapons. If this thing explodes, White Curtain might as well consider reincarnation.

This vehicle is a mini arsenal.

Clearly, the camp leader intended to use this method to discourage Bai Mu from considering cooperating with the military.

The army's operations did not need outsiders like him to interfere, even if Bai Mu was exceptionally capable, because he did not obey orders.

This single step completely stalled subsequent cooperation.

Unless Whitebeard is lucky enough to encounter some important operation, then Whitebeard can be assigned to some specific positions.

If the white curtain succeeds, it will greatly help the subsequent operations; if the white curtain fails, it will not have a significant impact on the operations.

Aside from such circumstances, it's difficult for the military to trust White Curtain unless White Curtain is so powerful that he can single-handedly destroy the Demon Territory.

Even if he can't break through, he can cripple the Demon Lord. If he really has that kind of combat power, the troops will cooperate instead.

But is there a white curtain?

Even if Bai Mu said he existed, they wouldn't believe it.

Unless White Curtain can directly prove itself, but White Curtain actually did so and succeeded, the troops can also act quickly.

At that point, it wouldn't matter whether we cooperated or not.

"...So you really intend to deal with the Demon Territory?" Luciela glanced at the weapons and equipment in the car, which looked quite frightening.

But using this equipment to attack a demon's territory seems a bit reckless.

“Actually, the camp could provide me with better equipment,” Bai Mu said after thinking for a moment, “but I’d have to wait at least two months.”

"What equipment?" Luciela asked instinctively.

"Individual nuclear warhead".

The medieval awakener's gaze was clear yet bewildered: "Is it that impressive?"

"Of course, if you Awakened Ones stood together, one shot could wipe you all out, including the one who launched it."

Without hesitation, Bai Mu said that he wasn't surprised that the human camp could pull out this weapon; maybe it was retrieved from some alternate dream.

The question is, are these man-portable nuclear warheads intended for human use?

What makes Bai Mu even more impatient is that it will take at least two months, which is quite a long time.

"Let's continue our hunt, get in the car."

"I'll drive?" Lucyella was somewhat tempted.

It's a shame that the motorcycle wasn't brought out, but this dark red off-road vehicle looks pretty good too.

The seat cushion inside is uncomfortable.

“Okay.” Bai Mu gestured for Lucy to get in the car; that’s the convenience of four-wheeled transportation.

Passengers can rest after boarding the bus.

Moreover, no matter how rough the seats inside the vehicle are, it's still better than lying down in the wilderness overnight.

Although White Curtain occasionally stops at the supply station for a while, the supply station is not a hotel and it is a bit noisy when resting.

The demons found the white curtain that was continuing to farm in the jungle.

His actions were probably too much, causing the Demon Lord's tolerance for him to drop to zero.

Large numbers of demons began searching for the White Curtain and began hunting it down.

Many demon strongholds have also increased their defenses, and sometimes the White Curtain can be detected from a great distance.

The demons who discovered him didn't fight him; instead, they went directly to report the news.

"You're still not good enough. If you were, you wouldn't be in such a predicament. You could just storm into the Demon Territory." Luxenbra grinned and laughed.

He swallowed the soul fragments of those demons; the demons he killed were specifically hunting down White Curtain.

"I'm a little curious, just how many demons could a demon territory possibly have?" Bai Mu glanced at the demon corpses.

“Probably a few million,” Luxembla said casually.

"...That's quite an exaggeration."

"What's so special about that? Hell is never short of demons." Luxembla's tone became even more casual.

Hell is never short of demons, and the fact that demons are hard to kill in Hell only leads to an ever-growing number of demons.

Hell is also large enough to accommodate so many demons moving about within it.

As for the problem of too many demons causing overcrowding, there's absolutely no need to worry about that!
When there are too many demons, they will breed a venomous insect. Before a venomous insect king is bred, the number of demons that have died is not just tens of millions or hundreds of millions.

But demons aren't truly immortal. If a demon dies too many times, its true name might be worn away, and that would be its true death.

"Why do you care about these things? No matter how many demons there are, they are only low-level demons. Before they become mid-level demons, they are all just small fry."

Luxembra said with some disdain, "The structure of demons in Hell is not that of pyramids, discs, and pointed pillars."

A vast number of lower-ranking demons form the basic disc, while mid-ranking demons are the pointed cones screwed onto the disc, and above them are higher-ranking demons, such as demon dukes.

In Hell, most demons are in a state of perpetual despair, constantly cycling between life and death.

Hell is not only hell for humans, but also hell for the indigenous people here.
