Dream Travel

Chapter 95: So you are so lonely?
"Mr. Baimu, you are so lonely." In a small room, Lily said with a smile to Baimu who was eating and drinking.

The ingredients were brought by Bai Mu. She simply cooked a meal for Bai Mu, and Bai Mu took the opportunity to invite her to eat together.

Although there was something wrong with the process, she still came, but here she basically watched Bai Mu eating alone.

Bai Mu ate while stubbornly saying, "Not really, I just live alone."

Lily smiled cheerfully: "This is only free this time."

"I just don't want to waste the ingredients at home. You don't want to eat them?"

"It's not time for me to eat yet." Lily kept smiling.

When it came to eating, she seemed very self-disciplined. Bai Mu didn't say anything else and concentrated on eating. After finishing her meal, she went straight home, just as if she had just had a meal in a restaurant.

As for the things he brought with him, except for the equipment he wanted to take away, the rest were left behind, including the enhanced virus.

Bai Mu did not hide too much about that thing and told Lily that it was very dangerous.

Because he had something to do tomorrow, Bai Mu didn't have too many messy thoughts when he went to bed today, and he had a good rest until the next day.

"You're here so early..."

Bo Lei said to Bai Mu, who had arrived early. Bai Mu looked at Bo Lei, who had also arrived early, and asked with some confusion, "Are you single too?"

Bo Lei immediately became angry: "I'm busy with my career!!"

"Oh, let's go to the cafeteria together?"

"Hmph, let's go."

The two went to the cafeteria together. There were not many people in the cafeteria in the morning, but eating here gave Bai Mu the feeling of being in the cafeteria at school.

But the food in the cafeteria over there is not as good as the one here.

"...You really can eat." Looking at the food brought by Bai Mu, Bo Lei was a little speechless. He felt that he was a big eater, but Bai Mu ate several times more than him.

"I've been growing recently, so I've been eating a little more."

"It seems that you are really not nervous." Bo Lei smiled. Some operatives would try to restrain their eating habits on the eve of the operation.

The reason, in addition to being quite nervous, was that someone had diarrhea when entering a strange dream. It wasn't a problem with the cafeteria, but simply because the other person had eaten the wrong thing somewhere else.

Then after entering the strange dream, he was in public and almost died on the spot.

"It's all decided. What's the point of being nervous?" Bai Mu said as he finished a large portion of pork elbow.

Looking at his breakfast which had almost no vegetables, Bo Lei also lowered his head to eat. Although Bai Mu had more breakfast than him, they both finished in about the same amount of time.

After dinner, it was time to get down to business. Bo Lei checked his watch and said to Bai Mu, who was holding a toothpick, "The time difference between that dream and reality is also 2:1. The departure time is o'clock, which is exactly evening over there."

"So early?"

"Do you still want to have lunch here? The cafeteria manager will ask me for money later." Bo Lei called Bai Mu to go to the warehouse.

"Your ammunition ration is sufficient. Aside from the special ammunition, you can take the rest yourself. You will need to purchase everything else."

After registering with the warehouse manager, Bo Lei took Bai Mu into the warehouse.

Bai Mu was not polite when it came to things like bullets. He took them in boxes and put them into the box he was carrying.

There was nothing suspicious in his box, just a big sword weighing more than 20 kilograms, an assault rifle, a pistol, a crossbow, and if possible, he would just like to stuff in a few grenades.

"Are there any grenades?"

"You have to buy that." Bo Lei gave a direct answer.

"Then I'll take a few." Bai Mu said without hesitation: "And a pistol, one of them was broken when I fought the demon last time."

Bo Lei raised his eyebrows slightly: "If you had told me earlier, I would have reimbursed you. Now it's a bit too late."

The demons are invading. Bai Mu is not only dealing with the demons, but also the strange dreams that he will investigate later. The loss of a pistol is not something the bureau cares about at all.

But Bai Mu is about to leave, so it’s a bit late to talk about this now.

"Do you have a Dream Eclipse Pistol?"

"Of course not." Borei said without hesitation. This warehouse is used to store ordinary supplies. Dream-eroded weapons are not common and would not be here at all.

A dream-eclipsed weapon, even a pistol, would be of great value.

For example, there was once a special Dream Eclipse pistol that was sold at a sky-high price at an auction.

Although the pistol is an ordinary firearm, the Dream Eclipse feature gives it the ability to have 'unlimited bullets'.

Pretty powerful, right?
But no matter how powerful it is, except for the bullets normally loaded into the magazine of the pistol, the subsequent bullets fired will only exist for a period of time and then disappear.

It is impossible to gain resources by relying on such characteristics. Not only that, because the firearm is an ordinary pistol, there are many problems.

Due to the material problem, if this weapon is really used as a machine gun, it will be scrapped soon.

The gun has unlimited bullets, but the gun itself has limited durability...

Even so, the unique dream-eroding properties of this weapon still make the price of this weapon explode. People who buy it don't regard it as a weapon at all, but as a research target.

"The Bureau of Processing is a large and powerful organization. Have you ever considered making some artificial dream-eroding weapons?"

Bai Mu picked out a pistol. Although it was a little different from the one he used, it made up for the previous loss.

You don’t have to use it, but you can’t let your pistol remain single.

"The cost is too high." Bo Lei shook his head.

Artificial dream-eroding weapons, unless it is an institution specializing in this field, it is very easy for others to lose all their money if they try to do this.

Even if the artificially created dream-eroding weapon is successful, it will be useless in the early stages, and the extra dream-eroding properties will not be very strong.

Unless you are extremely lucky and get another hit, even if you create an artificial dream-eroded weapon, you will need subsequent investment to improve it.

During the upgrade process, the Dream Erosion Weapon may also be damaged...

Spending millions just to get a Dream Erosion weapon that might not even work? Why not go to the corresponding market and spend millions to buy a suitable Dream Erosion weapon?

The Dream Eclipse feature may not be very powerful, but it is not that difficult to find one that suits your needs.

As expected, during the brief conversation, Bai Mu was certain that Borei had not told him about the Dream Erosion Crystal because it was too common.

But think about the dream-eroded crystals that I brought back. Any one of them is worth hundreds of times more than others.

Even so, this type of thing, according to the usage Lily provided, was still not enough. It was conceivable that other dream walkers or related people who wanted to use the Dream Erosion Crystals to do something would have to purchase them in large quantities; collecting them on their own would never be enough to meet the demand.

"It's almost ten o'clock. Wait for me to have a cigarette and then you can follow the team." Bo Lei waved to Bai Mu and said, "You'll have plenty of opportunities to come here later."

After leaving the warehouse and smoking a cigarette, Borei's operatives from another location also completed their gathering.

When he arrived at the scene, Bai Mu saw a familiar face among the gathered people.

Gunner Eller and Matt and his little brother were all there.

"They have been part of the Processing Bureau for a while now, and it's time for them to officially take action."

Borei explained the reasons why Eller, Matt and others appeared here. Not only them, but the Dream Processing Bureau also recruited other new people recently.

There are many strange dreams in the world, and there are also many unlucky people who are caught up in them. Most of those people can be considered lucky unlucky people.

Among these unlucky people, there were some who were lucky. After being involved in a strange dream, they returned to reality smoothly.

They are either really lucky or really capable. In the case of the former, the processing bureau will decide whether to recruit them based on the situation. In the case of the latter, they are generally the focus of the processing bureau's recruitment.

As for those ordinary people who were rescued by the Processing Bureau, the Processing Bureau will also make careful selections based on their performance in the dreams.

However, because the flow of time in dreams is different from that in reality, the people in the processing bureau may not be able to find all those lucky unlucky people.

In the end, the focus was on the part of coming back alive.

"A strange dream related to war, you are really relieved."

It is obvious that in the dream one should try to avoid the death of people in real life.

"Newcomers always need to grow. Besides, we have already developed this strange dream. There won't be too many problems within the area under our control."

Bo Lei explained with a smile that this strange dream was very dangerous, and it contained props with special powers, and was in the midst of a war. However, the era of this strange dream was also relatively backward.

Most battlefield areas are dominated by cold weapons. As long as you stay within a safe range and don't do anything reckless, the probability of an accident is not high.

After all, the newcomers who entered had no special identities, and the enemies would pay attention to some "pawns".

What's more, this is for newcomers to train. Looking for those strange dreams without any risks, is that training or a public travel?
"After they go in, you can follow them into this strange dream."

Bo Lei glanced at the time on his watch again.

At ten o'clock, the well-prepared members of the Dream Processing Bureau lined up and entered the quarantine center.

How can I describe this scene? Anyway, the white curtain watching from the sidelines is a bit hard to describe.

A group of old men took turns entering a cabin that looked like a cage... and the Yi Mengyuan inside was also a big and strong old man.

Yes, the traveler Yi Mengyuan in the quarantine center is not a weak and frail person, but a strong man!
This world is not like Earth. Although there are wars and many unsafe places, as long as you don't take the initiative to go to places that are clearly dangerous, you won't encounter too much danger.

This world is different. Even if a place is said to be safe, it may not be safe once you go there. It is too easy to give up if you become a traveler without a good physique.

Of course, there are female team members among these operations personnel, but they account for a small proportion and their presence is slightly lower when queuing.

Because the space inside the quarantine center is limited, the personnel have to enter in batches.

By the time they finished, it was already half past ten.

A dream walker would not be so slow in entering a strange dream. This situation would happen if the operatives took a ride on the source of the strange dream.

After all, they are official operatives. If they hitchhike in, they can directly get the initial benefits of Yimengyuan. If a dream walker enters, he will be a person of unknown origin.

"Okay, it's your turn. Go in and someone will contact you if nothing goes wrong." Borese handed Bai Mu a note: "If you can't find anyone, you can contact them through the above method. If you encounter any accidents, as long as you don't become enemies with the revolutionary army, it won't be a big deal."

"Okay, I'm leaving."

Bai Mu carried his suitcase and entered the cabin of the traveler Yi Mengyuan.

Not long after, the communicator that Bo Lei was carrying rang: "The wild dream walker has entered a strange dream. You should go back to work."

"..." Bo Lei's mouth curled up slightly, and he went back to the office with a stern face. Leisure time is always so short, and dealing with the white screen is also part of his work.

But each job is different. Bai Mu saves trouble and worry, but his daily work at the bureau is not so worry-free.

As a mid-level agent in the processing bureau, don't you really think he has nothing to do and needs to be in the office every day?

This position requires running around everywhere. As for why Bai Mu can often be found here, it’s because there have been a lot of things happening recently and he has to work overtime a lot.

When there are not so many things to do, Bai Mu wants to find him. Except for coming early in the morning and near the end of get off work, whether he can meet him at other times depends on luck.

After returning to the office, Bo Lei took his men away from the processing bureau not long after.

There was no other reason, it was time for him to go on duty. The chaos caused by the demons was still affecting the downtown area, and River was the first source of strange dreams to appear during that time.

After this, due to subsequent influences, new sources of strange dreams appeared.

For example, in war-torn areas, the probability of strange dreams occurring is higher, and some places cannot even build institutions specifically to deal with strange dreams.

Once the corresponding institutions are established, they must get things done. Even if there are some idle people, there are still people who need to do the work.

Most of the strange dreams in war-torn areas are related to the chaos and high pressure of war. Local agencies have to face high-pressure challenges at all times.

If you succeed, the benefits may not be good. If you fail, the dream will have more holes and become easily out of control, and the means to destroy the dream will not be good enough.

The relevant agencies in those areas can hardly move forward. As for the "dream processing agencies" that are just symbolic in name only, Bo Lei does not approve of such purely mixed agencies at all.

After leaving the processing bureau, Bo Lei looked back and wondered how much Bai Mu could bring back this time.

Considering his previous gains, I guess his gains this time will not be small either.

However, this operation is not an investigation into a strange dream. If Bai Mu can successfully bring something back, the processing bureau will probably be unable to sit still.

I don’t know if Bai Mu will agree to recruit the Bureau at that time.

...a strange dream.

Bai Mu quickly glanced at the surrounding environment and found that the time chosen by the processing bureau was very appropriate.

This strange dream is currently in the middle of the night, and no one will notice them after they arrive here. The place where they are is a wilderness, and there is not even a passerby.

There are a lot of people from the Processing Bureau... Well, they should be people from the Processing Bureau.

Some of those people wore local clothes and looked like indigenous people when they were not communicating.

The operatives who came in earlier than Bai Mu had already started talking to this group of people, and the leaders were obviously colleagues.
