I cultivate mushrooms in warhammer

The next day, the atmosphere in the harvesting department was noticeably more subdued, with everyone looking numb and disinclined to talk.

In the blink of an eye, it was time for the enhancer injections again.

This time, Robnos changed things up.

He injected the enhancer and the Ghost Agent separately to avoid interference between the two.

A young man named Kostro was the third person today to enjoy the honor of receiving the Ghost Agent injection.

He would receive the enhancer with everyone else, and then the Ghost Agent separately.

As usual, Li Nuo used Mind Numb to resist the hallucinations caused by the enhancer.

Once the effects of the drugs wore off, no one had died, which was good news.

Then it was Kostro's turn to receive the Ghost Agent alone.

The atmosphere became heavy.

Whether they were apprentices or security personnel, everyone subconsciously took a half-step back, afraid of a repeat of last night's situation.

Li Nuo noticed that some of the security personnel were equipped with flamethrowers, ready to unleash a torrent of fire at Robnos's command.

Fortunately, the strange events of last night did not recur.

Kostro successfully completed the injection, becoming the third artificial Esper to date.

Like the previous two artificial Espers, Kostro's ability was also accelerated wound healing.

This indicated that the composition of the Ghost Agent hadn't changed and still contained the cocktail fungus.

Watching Kostro jumping around with vitality, Robnos finally relaxed his tense nerves.

"Alright, everyone, go back after dinner. Yesterday was just an accident, it won't happen again."

Robnos pressed his hands down, signaling the apprentices to sit down and eat.

He put one hand in his pocket and scanned the apprentices' body data with a data pad in the other, muttering:

"Six more days, and the training will be over. You've all done well to make it this far, don't drop the ball now…"

Before he could finish, someone suddenly coughed up blood.

Everyone was shocked and stared in disbelief.

It was none other than Kostro, who had just become an artificial Esper not long ago.

He covered his mouth and nose with his hands, trying to stop the blood from gushing out, but to no avail.

The scene erupted in chaos as everyone dropped their food and quickly moved away from Kostro.

The security personnel equipped with flamethrowers surrounded him, waiting to unleash flames when the monster burst out.

"Supervisor… I… I can hear a voice in my ear!"

Kostro fell to the ground, bleeding from all seven orifices, looking extremely miserable.

He reached out his bloodied right hand towards Robnos, who was standing behind the security personnel, as if to grab a lifeline:

"Save me… save me… it's trying to get into my stomach! Pfft—"

Blood gushed from his mouth!

Stomach! Kostro mentioned his stomach!

Robnos's face darkened, and he drew the laser pistol from the security guard's waist, aiming at Kostro's head and pulling the trigger repeatedly.

Red laser beams struck Kostro's head, shattering it.

Deathly silence descended.

The security personnel's fingers pressed against the flamethrower triggers, cold sweat dripping from their foreheads as they stared intently at Kostro's stomach.

The gurgling sound did not appear, and Kostro's belly remained flat and still.

Time passed in the silence of death.

A minute later, the corpse remained unchanged.

"Damn it! What went wrong!"

Robnos threw the laser pistol to the security guard, clenched his fist, and slammed it hard on the table like an enraged lion:

"Two of you, take this corpse to the morgue and store it, I need to study it carefully. The rest of you are not allowed to leave, I'll be right back!"

Two security personnel stowed their flamethrowers, lifted the body, and headed towards the elevator platform, with Robnos following closely behind.

The apprentices faced the pool of blood on the floor, looking at each other in dismay.

Li Nuo looked at the unfinished meal on the table and lost his appetite, so he dragged his chair to a corner away from the bloodstains and sat down.

One apprentice muttered in a low voice:

"This damned job, whoever wants it can have it. I'm not coming tomorrow."

Another nodded vigorously:

"Yeah, me too. Anyway, I'm a lot stronger now. I can earn twice as much even if I'm just hauling bricks, why bother staying here."

"If you guys aren't coming, then I'm not coming tomorrow either."

The apprentices complained, criticizing Robnos in front of the security personnel, determined to sever ties with the Kramm Cigarette Factory.

After these few days of attrition, there were only seventeen apprentices left on site besides Li Nuo, and ten of them clearly stated that they would not be coming tomorrow.

Tomorrow might see the "grand occasion" of only seven or eight people coming to work.

Obviously, the salary promised by Robnos and the Kramm family's bride were all thrown into the trash by the apprentices.

If you want to enjoy a comfortable life in the mid-hive after retirement, you have to be alive to do it!

If you lose your life, what's the point of just waiting to die!

Li Nuo frowned, not joining the conversation.

He had a question in his mind.

The newest novels are first published on 69shuba!

Could the mutations of yesterday and today be related to him?

There was a reason for this question.

In the first two days, he didn't have Mind Numb and could only endure the hallucinations during the injection. Although some people died on the spot, no monsters appeared.

Yesterday, a monster burst out of Tabok's stomach and was burned to death by flames.

Today, Kostro was shot in the head by Robnos.

This action seemed to interrupt the process of the monster emerging from Kostro's stomach.

And it was precisely yesterday and today that he used Mind Numb to resist the hallucinations, and the mutation occurred not long after.

Was this just a coincidence?

The panel said that his fungal ability did not involve the Warp.

Then using Mind Numb shouldn't affect others, right?

Li Nuo was a little confused, feeling that the truth of the matter was elusive.

The Warp is indeed not a good place.

Once anything involves it, it becomes complicated and bizarre.

"Hey, Li Nuo, say something, you're the youngest of us all and the least qualified to become a full member. Do you want to quit with us?"

The apprentice who took the lead in quitting shouted at Li Nuo.

The people around him chimed in:

"I don't think he'll quit. Once we're all gone, won't he be able to become a full member?"

"What if he becomes a full member? With his physique, he'll probably die underground not long after officially joining the job."

"That's right. Even if he becomes a full member, he won't be able to marry a Kramm girl. He's not even an adult yet!"

Li Nuo sneered inwardly.

Quit?

Keep dreaming.

After entering the cigarette factory, we know so many secrets, how can we land safely.

Li Nuo looked indifferently at the noisy apprentices, maintaining his usual poker face.

The apprentices were already used to his appearance, felt bored, and turned the topic back to complaining about Robnos.

Gradually, the number of people determined to quit increased from ten to fifteen.

Except for Mazhaks, Mike Tangsen, and Li Nuo, the remaining apprentices clearly stated that they would not be coming tomorrow.

"Ding."

The elevator platform descended from the ground, and the gate opened.

Robnos rushed into the hall, roaring:

"Do you think I didn't hear what you were saying? What do you think this place is, you can come and go as you please! If I don't open the door for you, none of you will be able to leave!"

The apprentices' bodies stiffened, their faces embarrassed, and they remembered that they did not have the authority to open the elevator platform gate.

Robnos waved his hand, and the security personnel behind him pounced on the apprentices present:

"Except for Mazhaks and Mike Tangsen, everyone will inject the Ghost Agent tonight! I'm going to see how many of you will mutate!"
