Dream Travel

Chapter 455 The 'Dangers' of the Source of Different Dreams

The unusual behavior of the action unit gave White Curtain a more accurate direction.

He flicked the combination knife in his hand, and the faint hellfire that was maintained on it disappeared.

Weapons made from Dream-Eater Hellfire not only have excellent performance, but their temperature also disappears when they generate Hellfire, and the weapon's temperature returns to normal after the Hellfire is removed.

Bai Mu was able to quickly put the combination knife back into the weapon case. He then took out the Ling Shu and sniper module from the two sides of the weapon case.

After completing the combination, he accelerated his pursuit.

The alien swarm quickly figured out the terrain of the isolation zone, and the alien queen was very efficient at escaping.

Unfortunately, the white curtain is see-through!
As he pursued, faint green lightning flowed along the shaft of Ling Shu's spear.

The aliens that occasionally tried to intercept and attack were simply swatted away by Bai Mu's weapons.

The powerful lightning attack caused the alien that was flung away to twitch and die.

Killing these aliens is troublesome because it involves bloodshed, but White Curtain has a way to do it without bloodshed.

The dead alien transmits information through the psychic alien.

The white curtain and the alien queen remained at a safe distance.

The isolation zone was only so big, and after maintaining a safe distance, the Alien Queen's movements slowed down.

Besides the hunter, White Curtain, the 'prey' also began to gather, and the lurking aliens prepared for a new round of harvest.

Previously, the people who lived here not only used it as an incubator for aliens, but the corpses of the hatched aliens also served as a source of nutrition.

The area inside the quarantine zone is not large, and the food is stored in various places.

Once a new alien hatches, it can quickly replenish its food supply and rapidly grow into an adult combatant.

Shortly after the Alien Queen slowed down, and the operatives were subjected to a high-frequency attack, White Curtain opened fire.

The Spirit Pivot, having stored up its power for a long time, unleashed a powerful attack. The lightning bolts, compressed by the reinforced barrel and wreathed in hellfire, left red holes in the walls and metal obstacles it struck.

Some of the operatives only saw a flash of green and red light before the lurking Alien Queen was suddenly attacked, its head and body pierced through.

The aliens around them became frenzied.

"Future Vision isn't working very well with this thing." While the aliens were going berserk, Bai Mu took the opportunity to fire a shot, blowing the head off the alien with the particularly large head.

As for the remaining aliens, his attacks weren't as precise.

Future Vision isn't very effective against aliens. For the erratic aliens, White Veil will shoot if it can hit them, and stop if it can't.

As for the alien's thoughts... his Dream Eater Imperial Arms wasn't so omnipotent that it couldn't see through the alien's thoughts.

Demons are at least normal humanoid creatures; their facial features are somewhat different from humans, but there are also similarities.

Let's forget about the alien.

The alien queen, whose head and body had been pierced, burst into flames, with hellfire gushing out from the wounds.

Although the area of ​​effect of an attack is smaller after the barrel is compressed, the bullet velocity and penetration ability are greatly increased.

The accompanying hellfire and lightning do not suffer reduced damage due to their smaller kill radius.

"Who was it?" The team members were momentarily stunned as they looked at the slain Alien Queen; their orders were to capture her alive if possible.

But someone actually killed the Alien Queen.

"I don't know... but this is good, we don't need to hold back anymore, let's kill those monsters!"

The task force began quickly clearing out the ordinary aliens. Once they could no longer find the aliens that had attacked them, they located the former lair of the Alien Queen.

However, it had already been burned to the ground, and nothing useful could be found.

Inside the isolation zone, Bai Mu quickly cleared out the facehuggers. Not all of the aliens needed to be killed, but these creatures might undergo some kind of mutation after the Alien Queen died. Bai Mu didn't remember the original alien lore as comprehensively as he did.

Just to be on the safe side, it's better to just kill it.

“What you wanted is dead.” Outside the quarantine zone, a member of the processing bureau was giving a communication report using a small prop.

"what happened?"

"I don't know, the mother of those monsters was killed by outsiders." The person who reported didn't know what had happened; he had only received the information from the action team and reported it to the trading party immediately.

"Understood, the transaction is terminated, and the deposit is yours."

The bureau staff member who reported grunted and continued doing his work as if nothing had happened. If he could get the full payment, who would want a deposit?
However, things didn't go as planned. But he didn't intend to get involved any further. Those monsters were very powerful, and the people who could kill them were no pushovers either. Besides, he didn't know about this matter, so it was clearly arranged by someone higher up.

It would be inappropriate for him to continue getting involved in this matter.

The cleanup within the isolation zone is still ongoing, but what remains is not something that Bai Mu needs to deal with; the action team is very capable.

They were not ordinary humans, and after learning about the characteristics of the aliens, the lethality of these natural hunters was greatly reduced.

The white curtain simply annihilated the facehuggers and aliens that were seen through the Dream-Eroded Imperial Arm.

Here, he didn't even perform a phantom summoning.

He didn't hide the Hellfire and the Spirit Pivot, after all, he had been to the Hellish Dream and obtained the Demon Lord's weapon.

That weapon could unleash hellfire. He had seized the corresponding spoils of war, and the weapon possessed the power to unleash hellfire. He didn't need to explain this; people would naturally fill in the blanks and make connections.

According to Bai Mu's idea, it would have been more appropriate to evacuate all the living people from the isolation zone and then burn the whole place down with a burst of hellfire.

Ensuring that even the eggs of normal organisms cannot survive is too 'excessive'.

The city defense agreement is not just for show. Although he has no special power, it is difficult for him to violate the city defense agreement.

As for demonic energy, which is a specialized form of life force, he has already learned how to suppress it, making it even more difficult to trigger the defense protocol.

However, creating such a large-scale hellfire, with its energy intensity, will definitely trigger the city's defense protocols.

This is good enough for now; the remaining tasks should be handled by the local processing bureau.

The white curtain has left the isolation zone.

When he left, he was taken to a temporary rest room where he was observed for nearly two hours before Bai Mu was allowed to leave.

It was just a two-hour temporary observation, which Bai Mu thought was nothing special, and patted his chest.

When Bai Mu left the sealed-off area, he searched around here but found nothing suspicious.

The only difference is that there's an extra barrier in the isolation area, similar to an invisible wall. But that barrier isn't very strong; it's like an air curtain, and you only feel it when you pass through it.

I don't know how these isolation barriers were created in Meilin City.

Back at their lodgings, Akame and Kurome were still awake, while Mine and Leone were already asleep.

"They really trust me," Bai Mu said with a smile.

“They’ve been waiting too,” Akame explained. They had been waiting, but their trust in Shiro Mu prevented them from waiting indefinitely.

It was almost dawn when Bai Mu returned.

"I'm going to take a nap too." Bai Mu placed the weapon case aside. The case didn't need washing; if it got dirty, he could just burn it clean with Hellfire. He couldn't use Hellfire on himself, so after taking a normal shower, Bai Mu slept until noon. When he woke up, Chi Tong had already bought the local newspaper for the day.

Bai Muka flipped through the reports and found that there were quite a few about the sealed-off area, but they clearly stated that it had nothing to do with demons.

Instead, it was an accident from the Source of Other Dreams. We hope that the general public will be more vigilant about the Source of Other Dreams in the future and will not conceal its existence because of some talk of getting rich.

Then comes the edited casualty statistics.

The death toll exceeded 120, more than double the number Vibel had mentioned, but when White Curtain searched for the Alien Queen in the quarantine zone last night, it was confirmed that the death toll was far higher than that.

Even in this era, the number of deaths reported in newspapers is considered a major case.

However, since it involves the source of the strange dream, rather than a real-life murderer, there's no way to bring the murderer to justice.

Moreover, this whole affair was originally the fault of the local authorities... well, it should be the fault of the local authorities. Now we'll see how Gao Cen of the Maple Crown Republic reacts.

"You really solved this?" After Bai Mu put down the newspaper, Mine, dressed in her pajamas, came over.

"I took care of the mother body; the rest was handled by the local processing bureau."

Bai Mu stood up and said, "I'm going to find Vibel to find out what's going on. You guys can do whatever you want for now."

After saying this, Bai Mu glanced at the Fate Master and went to Vibel's tavern. The half-succubus was not surprised at all by Bai Mu's arrival.

She smiled and led Bai Mu to a small room, where she casually sat down: "This incident was resolved very quickly, and the lockdown will be lifted soon."

Bai Mu nodded: "Won't this world have some new monsters?"

Vibel said with a smile, "This is unavoidable. Give me two days."

This time, nothing unexpected happened. Although the lockdown zone remained in place, the lockdown on other parts of the city was lifted two days later.

Vibel's connections were put back into use, and White Screen adopted Vibel's approach that very day.

Upon learning of this news, the head of the local processing bureau breathed a sigh of relief.

With Bai Mu gone, the local companies no longer need to be pressured. The person who dealt with the monster mother was an outside helper from the Rota City Handling Bureau who happened to be passing through Coal Forest City.

The other party insisted on getting involved, and as a 'colleague,' it was difficult for him to refuse.

As for the fact that White Curtain burned the Alien Queen, all he could say was, "Well done!"
If it weren't for someone keeping an eye on the Bureau's movements, he would have liked to have a talk with Bai Mu himself.

Near Rota City, Bai Mu saw the wilderness 'airport' again. Just like before, the people who came here unloaded their goods and left without saying a word.

It's just that there used to be only Bai Mu here, but now there are many people here.

Back in Rota City, Bai Mu first went to Lily and asked her to arrange for someone to deliver the things he bought to his new home.

It's been more than three months. The new house is all set up, and even the new alchemy workshop is complete.

“I’m back.” Back in Rota City, even though it was her new home, Mine immediately put her suitcase aside, showing no signs of being unfamiliar with the surroundings.

Compared to Colim, Rota has a brighter overall color scheme, which is more relaxing.

The person in question looked at the decorations inside the house and took off the large sunglasses they were wearing.

Bai Mu bought this for her in Meilin City.

Her golden-red eyes are so captivating; if she didn't try to hide them, she would be incredibly eye-catching walking down the street.

“This city will develop very well,” the person in charge said, looking at the people who had been waiting there.

Chelsea had some doubts about the mastermind, but she knew what to do first.

“This place was completed two months ago, and I’ve learned about it during that time.”

"Have you given up?"

"..." Chelsea's expression showed a hint of regret: "I don't regret it."

What do you mean by "giving up"? She came here to investigate some things. There's no such thing as "giving up." It's just a matter of whether she regrets it or not.

She does not regret her choice.

"This is my job application."

Bai Mu put the item away, and after reading its contents, he nodded: "Butler? No problem. I travel frequently, and we do need a butler here."

Chelsea was not surprised by this. After successfully joining the company, Chelsea immediately got into the swing of things and told White Curtain about the recent events in Rota City.

As for anything related to the White Curtain, she hadn't touched it, even though she had been staying there temporarily for over two months.

But I just stayed there as a normal guest.

In other aspects, she couldn't access them as a 'guest,' but now it's different.

"The biggest thing that has happened in the past few months is that the mayor of Rota City has changed; other things have not been of much concern to us."

"I understand. Lily will arrange for someone to deliver some things. Please remember to receive them."

After Bai Mu finished speaking, she began to learn about her new home.

Seeing this, Chelsea led the way. She knew the new home better than Bai Mu, and she had even planned out the rooms for Bai Mu in advance.

With her leading the way around, Bai Mu got to know his place better. The new house was bigger, so he could prepare a lot of things.

You could even set up a dedicated training room.

Bai Mu thought for a moment and said to Chelsea, "When Lily arrives, ask her to help prepare some high-end exercise equipment."

"anything else?"

"That's all. Come with me this afternoon to Evefeya's place." Bai Mu checked the time. He didn't need to rest, but the person who came back with him did.

In the afternoon, Bai Mu led his men to Evefeya's residence. They rang the doorbell, and Evefeya opened the door shortly afterward.

She frowned slightly as she looked at the white curtain: "If you come back any later, I'll have to leave."

Bai Mu has been gone for far too long this time.

"Have you finished your experiment?"

"Not so fast."

Evefeya didn't address the matter directly. Instead, she looked at the people Bai Mu had brought and said, "Let them come with me. It won't take more than an hour."

She had been waiting for quite a while; the advanced enhanced virus she had prepared had long been adjusted to its optimal state.

Once the person who needs it arrives, it can be used immediately.

Evefeya said it would take about an hour, but she came out of the lab in just ten minutes.

Aren't you going to keep an eye on it?

Everea, who wanted to talk to Bai Mu about something else, paused: "Come inside and we'll talk."
