I cultivate mushrooms in warhammer

"Gurgle, gurgle…"

Heartbeat-like sounds echoed in the break room.

Everyone noticed the pulsating corpse.

"Look, what's that?"

The apprentice closest to the corpse pointed at its abdomen, his face filled with horror:

"It looks like something is about to burst out of the corpse!"

The apprentice shouted as he retreated.

Influenced by him, those nearby also moved away from the corpse.

Robonos looked grave, rapidly tapping on his data slate, muttering as if communicating with someone.

Li Nuo didn't understand the situation yet, but self-preservation was paramount; getting out of here was the right move.

He shielded the others, silently moving towards the elevator.

He had only taken a few steps when he heard the sound of flesh being torn behind him.

Li Nuo glanced back, cold sweat breaking out.

The corpse's belly had been ripped open by a pair of black claws, the flesh turned inside out, blood spraying wildly.

The owner of the claws emerged from the corpse, bathed in blood, its appearance grotesque and hideous, limbs twisted, hunched over, its body covered in a mix of red and black short fur.

Li Nuo cast an Appraisal spell as he ran.

The appraisal result from the system shocked him.

It was actually a Warp daemon!

Although weak, there was no denying that it came from the Warp.

[Name: Unknown Daemon]

[Description: A very weak Warp daemon. For some reason, it came to the material universe through the apprentice's soul. Of course, this is just its projection, not its true form.]

Why would injecting a booster attract a projection of a Warp daemon?

As a lore enthusiast, Li Nuo found it unbelievable.

"Ah!! Monster! Run!"

"Ugh—how stinky! This monster smells awful!"

The crowd screamed in terror, the scene descending into chaos.

Li Nuo reached the elevator and used the data slate to control the gate, but discovered that he didn't have the authority to open it!

Robonos hadn't announced the end of the shift; the apprentices couldn't leave the underground area!

Damn it!

What to do now?

Li Nuo frowned, secretly anxious, and could only crawl under a table.

Just then, Robonos put down his data slate and shouted:

"Shoot! Shoot now! Hold that monster back! Borg will be here soon with people to deal with it!"

The security personnel received the order, drew the laser pistols from their waists, and pulled the triggers.

Red lasers shot out, the beams dazzling and bright, dozens of high-energy beams firing at the enemy at the same time.

The monster was swept by the laterally discharged crimson rain, its flesh emitting a stench as it burned in the high temperature.

The laser barrage was quite spectacular, but the results were disappointing.

The monster's body wasn't pierced by the lasers, nor did it die immediately.

This was because the laser pistol's focusing array had been calibrated to reduce the power to the point where it couldn't penetrate the factory equipment's outer shell.

In this situation, accidental damage to equipment and internal pipelines was indeed avoided, but the killing effect was greatly reduced.

While the security personnel were changing energy magazines, the monster, its body charred, leaped high in a roar, pouncing on the security personnel.

Its wolf-fang-like black claws pressed down, forcefully pressing on the security personnel's helmet.

The helmet was intact, but the security personnel's head was pressed into his body, killing him on the spot.

Robonos shouted sternly:

"Are you idiots?! How did Borg train you?! Alternate fire! Alternate fire!"

The monster suddenly turned its head, staring at the shouting Robonos, charging over with a foul wind.

Everyone seemed to see the scene of Robonos's head being smashed by the monster.

But that wasn't what happened.

Although Robonos was over fifty, he was light and fit.

He took consecutive steps backward, retreating rapidly while facing the monster, his left hand pinching hard at the monster, flinging it to the side.

The monster was bound by an invisible force, its forward momentum suddenly stopped, and it fell sideways uncontrollably.

A psychic's telekinesis!

Robonos was also a psychic!

"What are you still standing there for?! Do you want me to deal with this monster myself?!"

Dense laser beams appeared again.

This time, the security personnel fired in alternating volleys, not pulling the triggers haphazardly.

The continuity of the shooting was guaranteed, but the density of the lasers was greatly reduced, allowing the monster to move while enduring the lasers.

It used its claws to protect its head, came to a security guard, and swung its right claw.

The armor made of bulletproof plastic failed to stop the attack.

The claws pierced through the body, tearing off large pieces of flesh from the security guard.

The monster swallowed it in large mouthfuls, the fur that had been charred by the lasers regenerating as it wriggled.

This scene horrified everyone!

What kind of monster was this, that it could heal itself by devouring flesh!

"Ding!"

The elevator descended from upstairs, and the gate opened.

Security Chief Borg arrived, followed by several security personnel wearing black fire suits.

These security personnel were equipped with flamethrowers.

They pushed their way through the crowd, aiming at the monster and spraying flames.

In an instant, the break room was ablaze, and the room temperature rose rapidly.

The monster seemed very afraid of fire.

As soon as the flamethrower started, the monster ran away with its head in its hands, but was soon caught up by the flames.

It screamed and howled in the flames, spraying black, foul-smelling liquid, its body rapidly shriveling.

In less than ten seconds, the monster that had panicked everyone turned into a pile of black waste.

The flamethrower was turned off, the flames dissipated, and the air temperature slowly decreased.

Borg scanned the monster's remains with his electronic eye, nodding slightly:

"Supervisor Robonos, the monster has been eliminated."

Li Nuo crawled out from under the table where he was hiding, looking at Robonos, who was frowning.

The eyes of everyone present focused on Robonos, wanting to hear his explanation.

What happened tonight was too shocking.

It was just an injection of a booster, and a monster appeared in the belly of the dead apprentice.

Could the booster make people pregnant?

But the problem was, that apprentice was clearly a man.

Robonos didn't say a word.

He came to the apprentice's corpse, scanned it with the data slate, and picked up the syringe on the ground to scan it as well.

In the crowd, someone noticed a detail.

"Huh? Do you guys remember who was going to inject the Ghost Potion today? If I remember correctly, it seems like it was the guy who had the monster burst out of his stomach, right?"

As soon as these words came out, the apprentices echoed.

"Yes! It's him! I think his name was Tabok?"

"I remember it very clearly. Tabok was the third person to complete the excavation training today. Ahead of him were Mazax and McDonnsen. Mazax and McDonnsen have already injected the Ghost Potion, so the only person who could inject the Ghost Potion today was Tabok."

"Could the monster be related to the Ghost Potion?"

"How is that possible? If it's related to the Ghost Potion, why are Mazax and McDonnsen okay?"

Mazax and McDonnsen heard the others talking.

The two looked at each other, nodded almost imperceptibly, lowered their heads, and said nothing.

Robonos stood up with a gloomy face and said coldly:

"Quiet. Listen up, this is none of your business. All apprentices are dismissed on the spot and report back at eight o'clock tomorrow morning."

The apprentices looked at me, I looked at you, and walked towards the elevator.

Li Nuo didn't intend to stay and left with the crowd.

After the apprentices left, the security personnel were also dismissed by Borg, and only Robonos and Borg were left in the break room.

Borg stared at the wreckage on the ground and asked:

"Supervisor Robonos, the monitoring data tells me that the monster seemed to burst out of the corpse of an apprentice. Can you explain the reason for this? I'm sorry, but for the safety of the factory, I must investigate this thoroughly."

Faced with Borg's questioning, the expression on Robonos's face changed naturally.

He changed his previous cold tone of ordering the apprentices, and instead spoke in a calm and composed tone:

"Don't worry, Borg. This is normal."

"Normal?" Borg's mechanical eye flickered slightly red. "You call a monster bursting out of someone's stomach a normal phenomenon? I'm sorry, I don't understand why you say that."

Robonos took out his pipe, lit the tobacco, took a comfortable puff, and slowly exhaled:

"I can tell you the reason, Borg.

"I added some new herbs that I've been secretly developing recently to the Ghost Potion I injected into the apprentices. When the concentration of the new herbs exceeds the critical value that the human body can withstand, mutations will occur in the injector's body, and monsters will grow rapidly."

Borg was silent, the faint light flickering in his mechanical eye indicating the unrest in his heart.

Robonos saw that Borg didn't believe him, smiled slightly, as if he didn't care about Borg's attitude at all:

"It's useless even if you don't believe what I say. It was your master who asked me to be the chief pharmacist of the Klamm family. He approves of my work, and you must approve of it, understand?"
