Dream Travel

Chapter 14 This Time It’s Not a Zombie

After staying at the third-level isolation point for nearly three hours, Bai Mu and other quarantined people were transferred to the second-level isolation point. This was not the end yet, as they would have to stay at the second-level isolation point for almost the same amount of time.

Wait until everything is fine before going to the first-level isolation point, and then you can move freely. No wonder the reception point requires survivors to arrive at the isolation point one day in advance.

With modern means of transportation, it is more than enough to escape a few hours before the nuclear bomb drops. The problem is that the survivors in the city may carry the virus, which is latent.

If we evacuate in a hurry and take the virus carriers with us, then wouldn’t the nuclear bomb be dropped in vain?
At the third-level isolation point, people are prohibited from contacting water and food, but at the second-level isolation point, they can eat and go to the toilet, and blood tests are also required here.

The atmosphere at the first-level isolation point was obviously much more relaxed than that at the second and third-level isolation points. The survivors were talking and laughing. They had experienced a horrible nightmare in the bear market, but they had finally survived.

There is already internet here, and Bai Mu took out his cell phone which had been turned off... but there was no signal.

"Your isolation is over. You can now move freely within the designated area and go to the access point to retrieve your belongings. When the time comes, you will leave with the team." A soldier came to the first-level isolation area where Bai Mu was.

"Great, we can finally leave here!" Some people were filled with relief, while others couldn't wait to run to the access area.

Some of the people here did not have time to escape before the biochemical crisis broke out, while others came with other ideas, such as making money from chaos.

I didn’t dare to buy it for free before, but now that everyone is almost dead, isn’t it okay?

Besides, it was not easy to escape at the beginning. At that time, there was no crisis of a nuclear bomb hitting the face, but the city was blocked after the outbreak of the biochemical crisis, and if you wanted to escape, you had to be quarantined.

I heard that the quarantine conditions at that time were even worse because there were too many people, and many vicious incidents broke out during the quarantine.

It’s not like now, the quarantine is easily ended, which is the advantage of having fewer people.

Bai Mu found the box containing his things at the access point, which had a corresponding access card.

After opening the box, as expected, there was no trace of the vaccine inside, and the people who came to the rendezvous point with cameras and long guns left him forever.

"At least leave me one, bastard..." Bai Mu picked up the remaining dagger in the box and sighed. At least he had left himself a hair.

Just as Bai Mu was about to pack up and leave, a pistol, two magazines, a new cell phone and several other items were placed in his safe.

"The staff forgot something somewhere else, and I got it back for you."

"Uncle Thorn, are you okay?"

Thorn's face darkened. "Why, you still expect me to be in trouble? Hurry up and get your things and prepare to evacuate."

"Leave together?"

"Of course." Thorn nodded. "We'll leave with the vaccine delivery team."

Bai Mu turned the vaccine in his hand and said, "I am a little surprised that this thing can actually be sent back."

"All we need for vaccine research is samples. How hard can it be to get them back? This is not a virus." Thorne said casually, but Bai Mu didn't know if it was that easy.

Bai Mu remembered that the vaccine should be related to the virus itself... But since Thorn was able to get it back, the connection shouldn't be big?
He didn't understand these things, so he didn't ask any more questions.

It's enough to be able to leave here, and the rest can be dealt with later. Compared with vaccines and viruses, Bai Mu is more curious about whether his involvement in the strange dream is a time travel or a "dream".

If it is a time travel, then I have to consider how I will live in this world in the future. If it is a dream... then when will I wake up from this dream?

Because of Thorn's relationship, Bai Mu was followed by another convoy when he left.

Thorn's meaning was simple. Since we could leave by any route, we might as well go with him.

To put it bluntly, the uncle was worried about Bai Mu leaving alone. It wasn't that he was worried about Bai Mu's fighting ability. Along the way, Bai Mu used the gun like a skilled novice, but after fighting his way out of the bear market, he was no longer a novice. He was worried that if Bai Mu left through the conventional route, he would be targeted. Bai Mu himself was of little value, but the vaccine in his hand was valuable!
Bai Mu and Thorn were sitting in a car chatting.

"I thought it was a dedicated transport plane. A helicopter would also do."

He had only taken civil aviation before traveling through time.

"It makes no difference." Thorne looked out the window at the wilderness and took out a piece of paper with an address on it. "Once you get there, go here to resolve your identity issues and then contact me."

Bai Mu has no identity, unlike other people in the quarantine area, whose identities are easy to check. His words don't contain much information, but Bai Mu is still fine, not because Bai Mu is special.

Moreover, this young man was an experimental subject rescued by Thorne from the laboratory. Most of the people who were sent there were sent there through various illegal means. For the parties involved, it was inexplicable that they were traveling abroad without a passport.

"Thank you, Uncle Thorn."

Thorn nodded and looked at the sky outside: "If you feel sleepy, take a rest. We will be there when you wake up."

"Then I'll sleep for a while." Bai Mu fell asleep.

He was awakened by an explosion. Bai Mu, startled by the violent shaking, was a little mad: "Is this the end?"

Before he could come to his senses, a hand pulled him out of the car. Just as Bai Mu was about to resist, Thorn's voice rang in his ears: "It's me."

"What happened again?" Bai Mu took out the pistol he carried with him.

"We were attacked, but unfortunately it wasn't zombies that attacked us this time." Thorn stuffed an assault rifle into Baimu's arms.

M16 rifle, the specific detailed model was not recognized by Bai Mu, and the source may be the corpse of an unlucky army soldier not far away.

“The people who attacked us weren’t after the vaccine, were they?”

"The vaccine is probably only part of the reason." Thorn said solemnly, "This isn't a fight against zombies. Don't shoot recklessly. Try to find a place to hide and try to break out with the team if you have a chance."

Thinking of something, Thorn handed Bai Mu a storage disk from his backpack. "Take this. If you can leave safely, find a way to contact the person at the address. If you encounter any accidents, destroy the storage disk. Destroy it cleanly!"

Bai Mu realized what this thing was, and Thorn had a secret mission.

After quickly explaining some things, Thorn rushed out. With the enhancement of the virus, the physical fitness he showed on the battlefield was completely incomparable to that of ordinary soldiers.

In the movie, he is a standard tough guy protagonist who dodges bullets.

After Thorn joined the battle, the severe crisis faced by the attacked convoy was alleviated a little, but it was impossible to turn the situation around because he was a virus enhancer, not a superman.

The soldiers in the convoy were still in a very bad state after being attacked, and there was no hope for support. In such a battlefield, Bai Mu felt particularly relieved. To be honest, the war with modern weapons was much more exciting than facing zombies.

Until a soldier hurriedly passed by: "Hurry up, rookie, the attacker's offensive has weakened, we are ready to break out!"

"Coming." Bai Mu hurriedly followed.

The soldier was startled by Bai Mu's attire: "Are you a survivor? Never mind, just follow me."

There is not only Bai Mu, the survivor, in the convoy, there are others as well, and Bai Mu is not the only one who can use connections. However, Bai Mu's performance is much better than some of the frightened survivors, so it doesn't matter if he catches up.

More people means more combat power, and more firepower can be shared...
