Dream Travel

Chapter 384 Only One Chance

"It has a killing effect on demons, does it hurt?"

“What do you think?!” Luxembla replied with dissatisfaction, tossing the pistol back: “So-so.”

The weapon is too hot for the demon to handle, but it's easy to bear and will pass; it's much less dangerous than directly splashing holy water on it.

Regarding its effectiveness against demons, Luxembla thought the gun was utterly inadequate.

White Curtain removed the magazine, inspected the silver bullets inside, and threw it towards Luxembla.

The silver bullets struck the sand. Lexenberg stared at the white screen with a stern face; he wasn't stupid.

The gun is alright; it contains a small amount of hell metal, which should have been purified so that it only serves to ignore the effects of the hell environment.

But the holy silver bullets inside this gun are much more lethal to demons.

His hand was smoking as he held that gun; if he caught that bullet, his palm might be burned through.

"What a coward." Bai Mu picked up the bullet, not wanting to continue testing the hardworking demon.

If we shoot this guy, and the weapon is really effective, wouldn't Lexenberg be knocked back into a deep sleep by that one shot?

More importantly, it would waste a bullet.

Bai Mu didn't believe that the Dream Erosion attribute of this gun had the characteristic of unlimited bullets, so he still valued the limited Holy Silver bullets.

"Can I take a look?" Beatrice asked from the side.

Bai Mu handed over the bullet, and after examining it, Atrist said, "This is not a Dream Erosion Carrier."

"No, it's not?" Bai Mu handed over the magazine. "What about this one?"

“…Unfortunately, it’s not that either.” After checking, Atrist shook her head.

"The magazine and bullets are freebies." Bai Mu was a little disappointed. He valued the bullets in the magazine because he considered the possibility that the bullets were also Dream Erosion items.

He has only ever come into contact with Dream Erosion items, which are disposable consumables. Once you eat them, they're gone.

Bullets are consumables, and if they are Dream Erosion items, especially after they have been sublimated, how could they not be precious?
Maybe one of these bullets could kill a high-ranking demon with a single shot!

As it turned out, neither the bullets nor the magazines were Dream Erosion items.

"It should be a gun, right?"

Beatrice answered confidently, "The gun is fine."

"That's alright." Bai Mu reloaded the large-caliber bullets into the magazine. Having gotten used to guns that didn't require reloading, he was a little unaccustomed to live ammunition.

Magazines are not Dream Erosion items, so you can prepare more in the future.

As Lexenbra dispersed the shadow barrier, the figure in the white curtain reappeared, leaving the demon watching him somewhat puzzled.

The shadow barrier wasn't very strong, but it was enough to block the demon's vision.

What Bai Mu did inside the Shadow Barrier was completely unnoticed by the other demons, which piqued the curiosity of some of them.

"This human is quite good. I'll give him a try after he falls asleep."

The demon who spoke glanced at the succubus dragon. The number of demons eyeing the white curtain had increased, but some things had been agreed upon beforehand.

Some demons are reluctant to speak up, not because they follow the rules, but because this succubus is strong enough to make those demons follow the rules.

However, even demons can make mistakes. The first demon made a promise, but the later demon didn't.

Those demons also set their sights on the White Curtain, wanting to find an opportunity to take it down.

"You can give it a try." The succubus dragon wasn't angry; instead, she seemed somewhat expectant. At this moment, she was deciphering the demonic characters that formed the sacrifice.

When the White Curtain used the sacrifice, it did not conceal the process, and the demon also learned about the sacrifice.

These kinds of sacrifices don't need much concealment; in fact, many demons are eager to expose them so that more people can learn about them.

However, the demon associated with this sacrifice is not one of the demons in their circle.

Therefore, some demons are deciphering the demonic text above to prevent other demons from interfering.

There are already enough demons here.

Bai Mu took out a communicator and contacted Robert: "I need some holy silver bullets, but regular bullets will also work."

"We don't have many Holy Silver bullets left, but we still have plenty of regular ammunition. Your interception has saved us a lot of ammunition."

Robert immediately replied that the White Curtain's interception of the monsters did save them a lot of ammunition, but the monsters kept appearing.

Among the monsters that appeared were even death sandworms. These sandworms would suddenly attack from underground, and some wounded soldiers would have parts of their bodies eaten away, resulting in their immediate death.

Even worse off were those who were dragged underground in the desert, their bodies never to be found. As time went on, more and more wounded soldiers chose to embrace foreign lands.

They deliberately allowed their injured areas to come into contact with the alien world, enduring the damage from the Dream Erosion while simultaneously gaining corresponding alien transformations.

To restore combat capability in a way that is akin to drinking poison to quench thirst.

As for the lack of touch, pain, and the potential loss of control over alienated parts, those issues can only be addressed after surviving.

The injured do not want to be a burden.

Now that the White Curtain needs some ammunition, Robert is naturally not stingy. "Many of the Holy Silver Bullets have been used to deal with the foreign demons. We can provide 16 rounds, and we can provide ten basic loads of normal pistol ammunition."

The Holy Silver bullets are large-caliber pistol bullets. The 16 rounds he mentioned are just enough for two magazines. When the Holy Silver bullets were given to Bai Mu, the matching firearms were all provided by him.

White Curtain needs new ammunition; the Holy Silver bullets he has spared are enough to empty two magazines.

Holy Silver bullets are too scarce. For regular pistol ammunition, giving White Curtain ten units wouldn't be a problem.

Four hundred pistol bullets—the number of bullets the monsters intercepted before the White Curtain prevented them from expending far more than that.

"One basic load of regular ammunition is enough, but give me eight rounds of Holy Silver bullets."

Bai Mu didn't ask for too much; he was just testing it out and wouldn't exploit the already limited combat reserves in the survivor camp.

When are you coming to pick it up?

"Now." Bai Mu walked towards the camp.

Robert had been waiting for a while, and when he saw that there were no signs of alienation on Bai Mu's body, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Before the White Curtain, he had entered the alien realm and brought out special information. He also said that he had not been assimilated by the alien realm, but that was just communication.

He was much relieved to see that Bai Mu was really alright.

The wounded soldiers in the camp who were assimilated by the aliens went out of control, but the situation could still be brought under control. However, if an entity like the White Curtain went out of control and found the camp, then the camp would suffer greatly.

"Here's the ammunition you need, along with new clothes and some supplies." Robert handed the prepared items to White Curtain.

Bai Mu glanced at the supplies, only taking two bottles of water. As for clothes, the clothes he wore in Hell were not comfortable at all, but they were still better than the tattered pants he was wearing.

He didn't ask for food; the White Curtain had no shortage of it. If he was really hungry, he would eat monsters; he could eat things that ordinary people couldn't.

"That's all. I recently came out of another realm, and the demons are paying close attention to me."

"We are preparing for a breakout." Robert said with a solemn expression, having finally met with Bai Mu directly.

The White Curtain provided intelligence from the alien realm, but they had no intention of trying to cooperate with the nameless demon.

The nameless demon is still a demon, no different from the demon who sealed this place; cooperating with it is like seeking a tiger's skin.

Without any forceful means of restraint, the nameless demon will most likely turn against the demons after coming into contact with them.

It's better to rely on yourself than on others.

"When?"

“Within a week.” Robert glanced at the camp. “Many of us have been assimilated by the foreigners. When we break out, we will try our best to spread the news.”

Casualties are inevitable, but being dragged along here will not end well for them either.

They might as well take a gamble. They have a radio; after escaping the demons' blockade, they can overload the radio and still have a chance to get the message out.

The demons' blockade trapped them deep within an invisible labyrinth, but the celestial phenomena here remained normal, and someone had already determined their approximate location.

At the right time, as long as the radio can be sent out, the intelligence can be sent out at the same time.

“At that time we will try to attract the demon’s attention, and it would be even better if you could escape.” Robert took out a letter.

"If we succeed, this thing will be useless; if we fail... I hope you can get out of here safely."

"You'll have a hard time succeeding this way, won't you?"

Robert nodded and explained, "So we need some more time to prepare, otherwise we'll become increasingly passive."

In the coming days, we will try to acquire more Dream Erosion to gain the necessary resources to fight the demons.

We also prepared a large quantity of Dream Erosion ammunition, which will damage our weapons once used, so we only have one chance to break out.

Robert explained their plan: the dream erosion in this exotic land was leaning towards benign, which wasn't good news, but it was a good condition that could be exploited.

The benign Dream Erosion wasn't so deadly; they covered themselves in Dream Erosion and charged outwards despite it.

After encountering demons from another dream, I can make those demons wary with my Dream Erosion Body. As for local demons or monsters, I can deal with them with my own abilities.

Robert's plan was not unexpected by Bai Mu. In the alien realm, Lexenbra had also suggested that he get covered in Dream Erosion and run away.

After Robert said all that, Bai Mu realized his intention: "You want me to find a way to break through the blockade?"

"Even if there is no way to break through the blockade, we must try; we have no other choice."

Robert looked back at the camp.

"There aren't many resources left for survival here. The flesh of those monsters is poisonous and can't be cleaned even after processing. If we run out of resources, we'll have no choice but to eat the flesh of those monsters."

When we're in good shape, we can still put up a fight, but once we eat the flesh of those monsters, we'll have absolutely no chance.

They had stockpiled some monster meat as a precaution, for a desperate last stand.

It will cause poisoning if you eat it, but it can maintain your fighting ability for a short time, although only for a short period of time.

If it's not necessary to eat, then they definitely won't eat it.

However, with the current resource reserves, even if we live frugally, a week is the limit.
