I cultivate mushrooms in warhammer

#171 - The Bone Drinkers' base is actually there.

With each step the dark figure took forward, Gennaro took a step back, until he bumped into a shelf.

"Who are you? An Astartes?" Gennaro asked nervously.

Li Nuo didn't answer Gennaro's question.

He drew the specially made gun from his waist, activated the fungal ability - Light Art, and inserted white light with a luminous intensity of 10 million lux into the energy magazine.

The light followed the light path into the barrel, and was processed into a scorching laser by the focusing lens.

"Buzz!"

A low rumble, like a wild beast rolling over in its sleep and emitting a heavy snort.

A white laser, fully ten centimeters thick, instantly landed on Gennaro's psychic shield.

The dazzling rays were completely offset by the shield, and ripples spread across the surface of the shield.

"Buzz buzz buzz buzz— — — —"

White laser after white laser, Li Nuo squeezed the trigger, strafing the psychic shield.

Gennaro was initially startled, thinking he would suffer a brutal attack and die instantly.

But the scene in front of him almost made him burst out laughing.

"Ha, listening to your tone, I thought you were so powerful, but I didn't expect you to be this weak."

Gennaro was unharmed under the protection of the psychic shield, wiped the sweat from his forehead, took a deep breath, and sneered:

"Your laser weapon looks unusual, but it's nothing more than that, no different from ordinary Imperial standard laser weapons, at most it's just a brighter flashlight. You want to shoot through my shield with just this thing? Keep dreaming."

The principle of the psychic shield is similar to that of the void shield, both of which transfer attacks to the warp.

However, the former is a psychic's individual defense method, while the latter is a technological shipboard device.

Theoretically, as long as the psychic focuses his attention and transfers each attack to the warp, he will not be bypassed by the enemy's shield and hurt himself.

Facing Gennaro's ridicule, Li Nuo remained silent, only pulling the trigger repeatedly.

The 10 million lux light cluster quickly dissipated, replaced by a 20 million lux one.

The thickness of the white laser did not change, but the temperature suddenly rose to 4000 degrees Celsius.

The 20 million lux light cluster disappeared, and 30 million followed, the laser's temperature reaching 6000 degrees Celsius.

The 30 million lux light cluster ended, and 40 million, 50 million, and 60 million appeared in sequence.

When the intensity of the light cluster reached 100 million lux, beams of light scattered from the special gun, and the smell of burning and black smoke appeared simultaneously.

"Crack..." The gun sparked, the intense light ignited the lens when passing through the focusing lens, and a white laser with a temperature of 20,000 degrees Celsius became the weapon's swan song.

This laser landed on the psychic shield, the shield shook violently, and there were faint signs of cracking.

But in the end, the shield blocked the attack, and the special gun burst into flames at the same time, burning into charcoal from the inside out.

"Heh heh, your weapon is too fragile." Gennaro was about to mock, but suddenly saw the dark figure take out a second weapon, and swallowed the mocking words back into his stomach.

This second weapon was a sword hilt.

The bright white light was transformed into a laser by the focusing lens, and then bound into a blade by the force field of mechanical witchcraft.

The 100 million lux white light brought a high temperature of 20,000 degrees Celsius.

The white blade slashed on the psychic shield, the shield and the sword light flashed simultaneously, and a rolling heat wave rushed towards him.

Gennaro's expression changed slightly, and he casually threw out two electric guns.

The lightning landed on the surface of the dark figure, melting like ice and snow.

"Damn it, what is this armor you're wearing? It can even nullify my psychic lightning."

Li Nuo remained silent and continued to chop, how could he miss such a good target.

One sword, two swords, three swords, the sword wind howled, the force field sword transformed into a nimble butterfly, flying up and down in Li Nuo's hand, each strike bringing deadly high temperatures.

Gennaro was overwhelmed, unable to even counterattack, and could only do his best to resist the storm of blades.

Half a minute later, sparks came out of the sword hilt, the focusing lens could no longer withstand the high temperature of 20,000 degrees, and ended its life with self-immolation.

Li Nuo casually threw away the burning sword hilt, and took out the third weapon under Gennaro's gloomy gaze.

"Don't waste your effort, the laser can't penetrate my shield. As long as I keep up with your attack rhythm, whether you fire a red laser or a white laser, it will be transferred to the warp..."

Before he could finish speaking, Gennaro was surprised to find that the light that appeared this time was not white, but green, a ghastly green that tingled when it shone on his skin.

"Gauss weapon?"

"Congratulations, you guessed it." Li Nuo raised the special gun, pointed the green muzzle at the shield, and pulled the trigger.

"Buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz— — — —"

The sound like a swarm of bees flapping their wings was terrifying, and the flickering green light illuminated Gennaro's pale face.

His psychic shield trembled violently, enduring extremely lethal radioactive attacks every moment.

No!

He had to escape from here quickly!

This black behemoth in front of him was clearly prepared!

Continuing to stay here would only lead to his death.

Gennaro's figure quickly transformed from solid to illusory, entering an invisible state, and the gale propelled his body to move sideways, as fast as lightning.

However, a wall of air just happened to block his path.

"Bang!"

Caught off guard, the psychic shield collided head-on with the wall of air, and the shield was squeezed into a thin film of energy that clung tightly to the surface of Gennaro's body.

Gennaro was not injured under the protection of the psychic shield, but the other walls of air that followed completely blocked his path.

"Don't move, stand still obediently. After I finish testing all the weapons, I'll give you a quick death."

Li Nuo's voice was like the whisper of a demon, calm but with a chilling magic.

"Speak! What conditions do you want to discuss with me?!"

Gennaro leaned against the wall, and the psychic shield was fixed by the surrounding air, so he could only move in a very narrow space.

He opened his mouth and shouted, trying to make his voice drown out the roar of the Gauss weapon:

"You should know who I am! I am a member of the Bone Drinkers! Killing me won't do you any good! Why don't we sit down and talk, state your conditions, as long as they are not too excessive, we will consider accepting your proposal!"

The barrel of the Gauss gun cracked inch by inch, and a ghastly green light escaped from it.

A second later, the gun was disintegrated by radioactive metal particles, turning into fragments and dust that slid to the ground, leaving green flares on Li Nuo's gloves.

"Is it over? Can we talk now?" Gennaro's breathing was heavy like a bull, and he was sweating profusely.

"No." Li Nuo uttered a word faintly, and drew the fourth weapon from behind him.

This was a gauntlet. After putting it on and pouring Irradiation Art into the energy magazine, five sharp Gauss razors stretched out from it, forming a ghastly light claw.

The sharp claws tore through the air, leaving five dark green scratches on the shield.

A new round of weapon testing began, and the two once again entered a state of silence. One frantically swung and slashed, testing the limits of the weapon, while the other passively endured the beating, not daring to be distracted, fearing that he would be wiped out by the high-speed weapon.

A minute later, the Gauss energy claw turned to ashes.

Li Nuo took out the fifth weapon under Gennaro's gloomy gaze, a one-handed Gauss force field axe.

Gennaro's will was about to collapse.

The strange black figure in front of him was no different from a cold machine. He only tested his weapons, without saying any nonsense, and without accepting any negotiations.

"What do you want to do?!?!?"

Gennaro roared hoarsely:

"State your conditions! Let us sit down and have a good talk! This is our final ultimatum to you!"

"Your ultimatum to me?" Li Nuo asked faintly, the Gauss force field axe in his hand lit up with a ghastly green light with a hum.

"Yes, you heard right, this is our final ultimatum to you!"

Gennaro said through gritted teeth:

"You wouldn't think that by using outdated psychic communication blocking technology to seal off this vault, I wouldn't be able to send the message out, would you? I'm telling you, stranger, we Bone Drinkers have long anticipated the situation where our psychic communication would be blocked. To this end, we have paid our faith to a great being. As long as I pray to Him, I can send the message out and tell my compatriots!"

Oh, so that's why the Bone Drinkers turned to Chaos.

It seems that they suffered a lot from psychic communication jammers many years ago, so much so that they turned to Tzeentch not long after they recovered.

A small doubt in his heart was resolved, and Li Nuo replied with a normal expression:

"I advise you not to make stupid moves, it will only make you face death sooner."

The indifferent tone made Gennaro feel immense mental pressure.

His body trembled slightly, and taking advantage of the fact that the dark figure had not yet swung the blade, he immediately closed his eyes and called out to the prophet of his master in his heart:

"Great Shadow Weavers..."

Gennaro suddenly stopped moving, his movements and expression frozen at the moment he just uttered the title.

His psychic shield disappeared out of thin air, completely exposing his body.

This was the effect of the Brain Freeze technique.

Li Nuo shook his head slightly, a hint of regret in his eyes. He swept the Gauss field axe in his hand in an arc, severing Gennaro's fragile body at the waist.

Green flares lingered on the cross-section of the wound, and highly radioactive metal particles visibly devoured Gennaro's body.

The parasitic spores buried within his spine were overwhelmed by the massive radiation, turning into radioactive dust in an instant.

Without the control of the Bone Drinker spores, Gennaro's own consciousness took over.

Gamma-level psychic power granted him superhuman vitality. He lay on the ground, blankly looking at the black shadow before him:

"Am I... am I going to die...?"

"Yes." Li Nuo knew that the consciousness speaking at this moment belonged to Gennaro himself, not the Bone Drinker, so he softened his tone slightly:

"Do you remember how you were infected by the Bone Drinker?"

"I remember... I remember..." Gennaro laughed miserably, his eyes filled with sorrow:

"A Gamma-level psychic Bone Drinker held my whole family hostage, forcing us to submit. We agreed. It wanted us to hold sacrifices regularly, actively offering humans with high intelligence and high education. I was chosen by the family to be the first sacrifice."

The newest novels are first published on 6_9_shu_ba_._com!

Gennaro's full name was Gennaro Meslaton, born into the governor's family of the industrial world Meslaton.

The "whole family" he mentioned should refer to the direct line members of the Meslaton family.

In other words, the entire industrial world had essentially betrayed the Imperium.

This betrayal was very secretive.

Because according to Gennaro, apart from him, the other direct members of the Meslaton family had not been infected, and the Department of Law might not be able to find strong evidence.

"Were you originally a Gamma-level psychic?" Li Nuo asked.

"No, I... I was just an ordinary person." Gennaro's aura became weak and缥缈:

"After I was sacrificed by my family, the Bone Drinker took me into the Warp. They have a ship there. I drank a large amount of Wraithbone Elixir and became a Gamma-level psychic."

A light of memory flickered in Gennaro's eyes.

Not knowing what he recalled, he let out a long sigh before his death:

"I... I'm only now learning for the first time that there are so many strange things in the Warp... The Emperor... the Emperor lied to me... He said there was nothing in the Warp, he lied to all of us... all..."

Silly yellow-skinned devil.

Li Nuo squatted down and asked in a deep voice:

"Do you have any last words? To thank you for the information, I will try to avenge you."

Gennaro's pupils turned slightly, and he weakly uttered a few words:

"Solania... my daughter... Save her... or let us reunite... Thank... you..."

The air became quiet. Gennaro stopped breathing. Green flares devoured his heart, taking away the last trace of life.

Li Nuo reached out and swept across the ground, activating the Fungi Ability - Corpse Transformation.

He spent some time sweeping away the traces of battle, leaving no extra clues on the scene except for the potholes.

Opening the Vault door, Li Nuo activated the Fungi Ability - Optical Invisibility, and controlled the Black Knight to return to the upper hive.

Half an hour later, the Black Knight smoothly passed through the secret passage and arrived at the private laboratory. Li Nuo opened his eyes in his office, ending the Waaagh! simulation.

[This Waaagh! simulation has ended.]

[Calculating results.]

[You have killed 1.14 million Bone Drinker parasitic spores corrupted by Tzeentch, score + 114,000.]

[You have killed 1 Gamma-level psychic Bone Drinker, score + 50,000.]

[You have thwarted a conspiracy by the Shadow Weaver, Zelfix, score + 300,000.]

[You have gained a total of 464,000 points.]

[Remaining simulation points: approximately 6.8 million.]

As expected, it was another conspiracy by Zelfix. That guy never does anything good.

Li Nuo snorted and stood up from his chair, walking into the secret room and controlling the holographic device inside.

He pulled up the Bone Drinker crisis plan and filled in a line:

"The Bone Drinkers are suspected of setting up their base in the Warp."

This was the information revealed by Gennaro's own consciousness before his death, and it was extremely important.

From the Bone Drinker's point of view, setting up a base in the Warp has three advantages.

First, normal Imperial ships cannot discover the base.

When Imperial ships navigate in the Warp, they will activate the Geller Field and lower the shutters on the portholes to ensure that every crew member cannot see the scenery of the Warp.

Second, the Imperium's legal psychics can hardly discover the base.

The Imperium's legal psychics all know that the Warp is very dangerous. Therefore, when they must come into contact with the Warp, they will actively shield dangerous factors and only contact relatively safe Warp energy.

Take Navigators as an example.

When Navigators observe the Warp, they only observe places with the light of the Astronomican, and will not, and dare not, look at other places.

Similarly, Astropaths, the psychic experts of the Astropathic Choir, and the Librarians of the Space Marine Chapters, also tend to draw Warp energy within the range of the Astronomican's light.

If the Bone Drinker's base is hiding in a place that the Astronomican cannot reach, then the possibility of the Imperium's legal psychics discovering it is infinitely close to zero.

The third benefit of setting up a base in the Warp is:

Even if the Imperium knows where the base is, they dare not go to attack it.

That's the Warp, the forbidden zone clearly delineated by the Imperial Truth.

Leaving aside whether they dare to turn off the Geller Field and attack the Bone Drinker's base.

Just admitting that there is something in the Warp is already a serious violation of the Imperial Truth, which is a capital crime that will be sent to the gallows by the Imperial Department of Law.

So, to summarize in one sentence:

The Human Imperium is in big trouble this time.

"Let the tall ones hold up the sky when it falls. I just need to take care of my own Palu planet and Hive City. As for the others, let the yellow-skinned devils worry about it. Fortunately, I reacted quickly this time and preemptively predicted the location where the Bone Drinkers would appear. Otherwise, when the Sisters of Silence arrive, Epimethius might even be able to eat an Exterminatus."

Li Nuo recorded all the information provided by Gennaro, muttering to himself inwardly.

The results of the weapon test were also written into the document. Of course, Li Nuo encrypted this part of the data.

He planned to find time to do further research and testing on Palu planet, striving to increase the lifespan of the Gauss weapon to more than 1 hour.

"Di di di."

A communication prompt sounded.

Brandy controlled the servo-skull to fly over and open the data slate for Li Nuo:

"Master, it's a communication request from the spaceport."

"Connect it."

"Yes, Master." Brandy pressed the answer button with the mechanical claw of the servo-skull.

The voice of the commander of the spaceport orbital tower came in:

"Lord Willsic, a ship from the Astropathic Choir is docking. They claim to be here to assist Epimethius in apprehending Gamma-level illegal psychics."

Li Nuo was stunned and looked at the time on the data slate.

By all accounts, it had only been an hour since he had Satana send out the astropathic distress signal. How could the Astropathic Choir's ship have already arrived?

Within the Solar System, the light of the Astronomican is strong, and Warp navigation is basically smooth, but it shouldn't be possible for people to arrive in just an hour.

Li Nuo was a little confused about the situation and had no choice but to reply:

"Okay, I understand. I will arrange for someone to receive them. Tell them to wait on the ship for a while."

"Yes, Lord."

The communication ended.

Li Nuo closed the secret room and went to his residence to find Tido to explain the situation.

The two quickly prepared and went out together with the escort of the guard, heading to the orbital tower as quickly as possible.

There could be no hesitation at this time.

The Gamma-level psychic Bone Drinker had been killed by Li Nuo, but others didn't know.

Li Nuo was now playing the role of the Deputy Governor whose life was threatened by illegal psychics, so of course he had to immediately ask the Astropathic Choir's psychic team for protection, preferably staying by their side at all times so as to save his own life.

The group rushed and rushed, finally arriving at the scene before the Astropathic Choir's ship entered the dock.

When he saw this ship, Li Nuo seemed to understand what was going on.

This was a Black Ship, specially used to collect and transport psychics, not a warship of the Astropathic Choir.

Li Nuo thought, this ship was probably on its way to a target planet to collect psychics, and heard Satana's astropathic message, so it came to lend a hand.

"Tss — — — —"

A black hatch door made of ebony metal slid open, and a team of fully armed Arbitrators walked out, with a Sister of Silence with a sky-high braid and a psychic expert with a force staff in the center of the team.

Leading the way at the front of the team was a bearded Inquisitor.

Li Nuo felt a little familiar.

Before he could remember where he had seen this Inquisitor, the Inquisitor recognized him first.
