Dream Travel

Chapter 5: The Seven Who Made a Fortune

"Boss Matt, you see, I have to listen to you when cleaning the sewer, but it's not necessary here, right?" The strong gambler chuckled. After exchanging opinions with others, he felt confident.

Six of the eleven ruffians in the sewer had similar ideas to his. Some of them were hesitant at first, but were convinced by him.

Now there are seven people on his side, and they all want to make a fortune. The jewelry stores and gold shops in this city are all good places to make money.

As for how to leave the dream, even if I can't leave, as long as I can get to a safe place, I will be rich, right?
Looking at the clothes of the zombies on the road and the environment here, you can tell that the living conditions here must be good.

If you have money, you can live a good life anywhere. And what if this strange dream never ends?

It is much safer to rob stores in a city that has long lost its law and order with weapons than to follow that 'corpse Thorn' to look for vaccines. The latter only requires avoiding zombies, but following Thorn means having to face more dangers.

They are in it to get rich.

Greedy fool! Matt cursed inwardly, but his expression remained unchanged. He wouldn't accept the job of cleaning the sewers from anyone who wasn't greedy for money.

How can you dare to fight those monsters without greed? When those monsters can be killed by a brave adult alone, the trait of greed can shine.

It’s just that in this place, greed for money is no longer suitable for the previous situation.

Matt said expressionlessly, "Now that you've made your choice, don't regret it. After we leave here, we'll have nothing to do with each other."

The gambler nodded quickly: "Of course, we were all dragged here by accident."

Matt took the weapon without ammunition and went to ask Thor for advice. He had never seen this kind of firearm before. Although the usage was the same, it would be better to find a more professional person to learn more about it.

Thorne was in a good mood. Four of the eleven rescued test subjects were willing to stay and help. The rest, after expressing their gratitude, chose to leave with their weapons the next day and go to the rendezvous point on the map.

No matter which option he chose, his efforts were not in vain, and those who chose to leave at least said thank you.

Bai Mu fiddled with the gun in his hand. As a Chinese, he felt embarrassed to go abroad without some shooting talent. This was no longer just going abroad. He had hardly fired a gun before traveling through time, so why not shoot to his heart's content after traveling through time?

“Nice move.”

Thorne was slightly startled when he saw Baimu pulling the bolt with his backhand, then he praised and continued to explain the gun in his hand to Matt next to him.

Gunner Eller was also listening carefully. He was a typical 'gold digger' who would go wherever there was an opportunity to make a fortune.

Besides the three of them, the last person left was called Buddy. After Matt made his decision, he made the same choice very decisively. Bai Mu felt that there was a hidden relationship between him and Matt...

Well, it’s something like an insider.

The Eleven Rough Men in the Sewer are now completely divided. Bai Mu understands this. People die for money and birds die for food. Everyone is pursuing wealth.

"It's getting late, everyone, go to bed early. I'll provide the bullets tomorrow." Thorne checked the time and lay down directly on the sofa. He never leaves his gun when he sleeps.

The others also found places to rest. This safe house was not small, but it was not big enough with twelve more men. However, it was not cold here, so even sleeping on the floor would be fine.

Thorn at least provided enough bedding, so the night was not too difficult, except that some people seemed too excited to sleep.

The next day, the gambler washed his face and looked at himself in the mirror with an excited look. The opportunity to make a fortune had come!

Last night he was so excited that he couldn't sleep. He spent the whole night drawing up follow-up plans, route planning, and action guidelines.

First, we need to get a set of equipment similar to the one Matt has, especially a backpack. In this dangerous city, normal sacks are not useful. A tactical backpack like Thorn's is the best container.

Matt provided enough food. Bai Mu picked up a bag of snacks similar to Snickers and looked at it. He had never seen the trademark on it, but he thought it tasted okay.

This city is full of zombies, so it’s good enough to have food.

The amount of activity in the future will be quite large, so it’s okay to eat more high-calorie foods.

"Boss Thorn, it's getting late. Look..."

Looking at the somewhat anxious gambler, Thorne said nothing and lifted up the sofa where he had slept all night. It was full of ammunition. With Thorne's explanation yesterday, the gambler and others were not unfamiliar with these ammunitions.

At least there won't be the embarrassing situation of using the wrong ammunition.

"Take as much ammunition as you can. Good luck."

"Thank you, Boss Thorn. We will definitely get out of this alive!"

The gambler couldn't wait to start reloading the empty magazine. He was not yet dazzled by the upcoming opportunity to make a fortune.

Compared to the gamblers' eagerness, Bai Mu was much more casual, stuffing ammunition into the magazine slowly and steadily.

The gamblers were eager to find treasure, while those who chose to stay were not in a rush to set off immediately. Gunman Eller, who was doing the same thing, glanced at Bai Mu. He was certain that Bai Mu had little experience with firearms. Although he had seemed quite talented when studying with Thorn last night, there was still a difference between those who used firearms frequently and those who didn't.

As a gunman, he should be able to see these things.

Looking at the smile on Bai Mu's face that he couldn't control, Gunner Eller shook his head. Is this young man so excited after coming into contact with something he has never touched before?

Well, Eller was also very excited about these guns. He would definitely collect a few of them after leaving the strange dream!

"Boss Thorn, thank you for your help." The prepared gambler thanked him profusely and led his men away.

After leaving the safe house, the gambler and others held back their laughter of joy at the impending fortune. They were not so foolish as to forget Thorn's reminder.

Zombies have average vision during the day and excellent vision at night, allowing them to see things that ordinary people cannot see. However, whether it is day or night, zombies have very good hearing.

Therefore, when dealing with zombies, it is best not to make too much noise, and wear protective gear on your arms and legs.

But the infectious characteristics of zombies make them very dangerous in close combat... relatively dangerous, Thorn said that the zombies are not very fast, and as long as they are not surrounded, a normal person's winning rate in a one-on-one fight is not low.

"Should we drive that car away? I remember the car keys were still there when I got off yesterday." One of the people in the team suggested.

The gambler hesitated for a moment and asked the others, "Who among you can drive this car?"

"..." The others looked at each other in bewilderment. There were many rich people who owned cars in Rota City, but those cars were different from the cars here. They had seen cars running but had never driven them.

What's more, this is considered car theft, and it would be bad if Thorn found out.

"We can try another car."

The gambler glanced back at the safe house and nodded: "Let's find another car."

Putting aside whether they can drive or not, a car as a means of transportation is still very important. Without a car, it will take them a long time to reach the pick-up point. It will be different with a car.

Although Thorne taught a lot of experience, the gambler's ideal scenario is to complete the purchase for zero yuan on the same day and arrive at the pick-up point on the same day.

Set off in the morning, arrive at the safe zone at night, and completely get rid of this city full of moving corpses. If Bai Mu accepted his invitation, it would be easy to realize this idea.

But that guy didn't know how to appreciate it. He wanted to do big things with Thorne, and be a hero looking for vaccines. When he entered the dream, didn't he realize that the guy was just a strong corpse in the sewer?
"Wait a minute!" The gambler's words startled the other people in the team, and they looked around warily.

When someone inadvertently pointed a gun at him, the gambler shuddered and pushed the man hard: "What are you doing? Don't point that thing at me!!"

"This is my first time using this thing!" The person who was pushed was not afraid.

"Damn it! The first time you use it, wait until those corpses come out before taking it out. Don't forget what Thorn said about turning on the safety!"

The gambler cursed and took out a machete, pointing to a clothing store not far away: "Where should we go first? You guys are not still thinking about wearing clothes, are you?"

"That makes sense." The others looked at the 'hospital gowns' they were wearing. Although they were equipped with protective gear, there was something wrong with the clothes.

When they arrived at the clothing store, they first cleaned the store to make sure there were no moving bodies before starting to look for the clothes they liked.

The gambler rummaged through the shoes, a look of satisfaction on his face. At the same time, he felt a little puzzled. The shoes worn by Bai Mu seemed a bit similar to those here. And that outfit...

"Damn it, that guy is not the same as the gunman, right?" Thinking of this, the gambler felt sympathetic. Among the eleven roughnecks in the sewer, the gunman wanted to find the strange dream to make a fortune. If he hadn't encountered that strong corpse, the other party would not have revealed his true identity.

White curtain is similar, right?
Damn it, no wonder Bai Mu stayed so decisively. Thinking of this, the gambler felt a little regretful. Should he have stayed with Thorn as well?
"Why think so much? Let's get rich first. Whoever wants to stay in this crappy place can stay!" The gambler tried on the new shoes and felt they were very good. He smiled and then picked out other clothes.

By the time they came out of the clothing store, they had become standard "modern people".

They looked at the corpses wandering on the streets and prepared to practice so as to avoid panicking when encountering an emergency. They had already killed the monsters in the sewer, so these moving corpses were not a big threat.

When they left Thorn, they still had their original equipment with them, such as spears.

"How do these corpses survive?" someone in the team was puzzled.

The gambler pointed to some gnawed bones on the street and said, "A moving corpse is also meat."

"So, they have plenty of food."

A few zombies were quietly killed by the seven rich men. They were all strong and healthy, so it was not difficult for them to deal with a few zombies. After dealing with these zombies, they sped up.

These zombies are just insignificant stumbling blocks on their road to wealth!
