I cultivate mushrooms in warhammer
#152 - The green man is watching you
Smith writhed and crawled on the ground, like a mudskipper in the mud, a painful moan escaping his throat.
At his lower back, the blue-purple light gradually intensified, illuminating the clothes on his back.
A spherical object emerged from under Smith's clothes, swaying and floating to a height of two meters above the ground.
Smith climbed up from the ground, panting heavily, his entire body soaked in sweat.
A crackling static sound emerged from his head, and an unfamiliar voice came from within his skull.
"Destroy the spore floating in the air."
Smith stretched out his arms, supporting himself on the edge of the sink, his facial expression becoming particularly ferocious:
"Don't even think about it! I've been enslaved by you for so long, now it's my turn to retaliate against you! You damned bastard, you're finished! I'll hand your damned spore over to the Imperial Department of Law Enforcement! Go to hell…"
Before he could finish speaking, the static sound became high-pitched.
"Zzzzzz!"
The intracranial implant emitted a strong electric current, and Smith's body suddenly stiffened.
The unfamiliar voice spoke again:
"Resistance will only bring you pain. Since you are unwilling to obey my orders, then I will do it myself."
Smith lost control of his body.
Under the control of the intracranial implant, he picked up the laser pistol, aimed at the parasitic spore in mid-air, and pulled the trigger.
Three red lasers landed on the spore, which was ignited by the high temperature of the laser, turning into a blazing fireball.
The flame only lasted for a short time, and the spore turned into smoke and dust, scattering to the ground.
In Smith's horrified gaze, his right hand gripped the laser pistol and pointed the muzzle at his own head.
The unfamiliar voice cut through the air, followed by a frantic laser sweep.
"You are of no value anymore, go to your death in peace, I will find a way to transport that machine away."
"Buzz buzz buzz — — — —"
Dense red lasers burst out, and Smith's head quickly melted away, everything inside and out being burned to ashes by the high temperature.
With a thud, the headless corpse fell to the ground.
Li Nuo witnessed Smith's one-man show from the corner.
About a minute ago, after sending the satellite communication, he left the restroom and ran into the angry Smith on the way, so he followed to see what was going on.
Who would have thought that he could see such a good show.
After Smith injected himself with a dose of medicine, the Bone Drinker spore in his body drilled out of his spine.
At this time, Smith regained his self-awareness and was no longer controlled by the Bone Drinker.
But in his head, there was an implant from a mysterious person.
This implant integrates a sound array module, allowing the mysterious person to communicate with Smith from a distance.
The implant also has a nerve interference function, which can force Smith to make specific movements.
The mysterious person behind the scenes forced Smith to destroy the parasitic spore, and then ended Smith's life with a laser, incidentally destroying Smith's intracranial implant.
With this set of procedures completed, even if the Imperial Department of Law Enforcement arrived at the scene immediately, they could only find extremely limited clues.
Not far away on the ground, the syringe that Smith had previously used to inject himself with the medicine lay quietly there.
The medicine in the syringe is volatile, and the few residues at the bottom are turning into a mist.
Li Nuo tried to put the remaining medicine into the fungal warehouse.
Storage successful!
This shows that the main component of the medicine is closely related to fungi.
Li Nuo raised his eyebrows, preparing to check the condition of the medicine after the simulation ended.
Suddenly, a strong smell of decay penetrated his nose.
Looking down, a highly corrosive liquid was flowing out of the artificial blood vessels of the corpse.
The dark green juice corroded the corpse with holes all over, and a rolling stench wafted through the restroom.
In just twenty or thirty seconds, Smith's corpse and the clothes on his body had all turned into filthy slime.
The stench seeped out of the restroom through the cracks in the door, and it was estimated that someone would come to investigate the situation soon.
Li Nuo opened the ventilation duct in the restroom and crawled in.
Not long after he left, the door of the restroom was kicked open by people outside, and several fully armed Arbitrators rushed into the room.
"Report, Squad Two has discovered a pool of rotten matter in the public restroom."
The Arbitrator opened the door of the cubicle and saw the corpse lying on the toilet:
"Report, the informant has been found, confirmed dead, the murder weapon should be a laser pistol. The informant's data slate has been destroyed. Data specialists are needed to help repair the data on the data slate."
A response came from the Arbitrator's helmet:
"Take the data slate and return to the space station's dock. The Sector Governor's Space Guard is here."
"Roger."
The Arbitrator slung the bolter on his back, packed the data slate in a vacuum bag, and returned to the space station's dock the way he came.
Several cruisers belonging to the Space Guard were parked outside the space station.
The Imperial Department of Law Enforcement sent four ships, just enough to fill the space station's dock, and the Space Guard's cruisers could not enter.
Personnel shuttles traveled back and forth between the space station and the ships, sending the Space Guard's commander and his guard.
The Inquisitor of the Imperial Department of Law Enforcement was negotiating with the Space Guard commander of the Sector Governor.
"We will impound all the equipment and inventory here. After inspection by the Mechanicus, we will deal with the impounded items at our discretion."
The Inquisitor wore black carapace armor, with his hands behind his back and a black mask on his head, revealing only his wide and thick chin.
He was accompanied by two Enforcers.
The Enforcers' helmets were golden, and the ornament on top was an eagle with outstretched wings.
Generally speaking, the combination of an Inquisitor and Enforcers represents the authority of the Imperial Department of Law Enforcement, and they can be said to have the final say.
But there are always exceptions.
The Space Guard commander was Maggy Niedelaven.
Maggy was parasitized by the Bone Drinker while dealing with the plague in the stellar radiation waste area, becoming a servant of Black Scythe 1.
Black Scythe 1 is an Arsian, with the ability to transform.
He transformed into Maggy's appearance and approached Sector Governor Niedelaven XV, successfully converting him into his own slave within the latter's starport.
At this time, Maggy Niedelaven was not directly controlled by Black Scythe 1, but his every move was carried out under the orders of Black Scythe 1.
Maggy put his hands on his belt, and with a wave of his right hand in front of him, made a gesture of 'be my guest':
"You are the guardians of the Empire, the protectors of the Imperial worlds. We will not hinder your actions. But I must remind you that the scientific research being conducted here involves the agricultural world of Elfan, where there has been a large-scale bacterial disaster. Every day the research work is delayed, Elfan's material tax for this year will be reduced by about 1%…"
Maggy brought up the material tax to negotiate with the Inquisitor, trying to use the Ministry of Internal Affairs' tax revenue task to compete with the Ministry of Justice's law enforcement action.
If Niedelaven XV was just an ordinary hive world governor, then Maggy would have been defeated by now.
But Niedelaven XV is a Sector Governor and has some weight in the Imperial Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The Department of Law Enforcement impounding equipment and inventory is no problem, but unreasonable impounding will lead to arrears in the agricultural world's material tax.
Riots caused by food shortages have always been a headache for the Empire.
The Imperial Department of Law Enforcement is one of the main bodies responsible for dealing with riots.
In other words, unreasonable impounding is tantamount to the Imperial Department of Law Enforcement creating trouble for itself.
The Inquisitor and Enforcers on the scene discussed internally and proposed a compromise.
"You can take away the research equipment and inventory involving the agricultural world, the others must be left behind, and this space station must also be sealed off. Before the inspection is completed, the staff in the space station cannot leave."
Maggy bowed slightly:
"As you wish, Inquisitor. I will provide you with a list, which contains the equipment and inventory that we need to transport to another space station as soon as possible. Among them, there is some extremely important equipment that I need to personally escort."
Maggy sent the list over with a data slate.
The Inquisitor received it, opened it to view, and then waved his hand and said:
"On your list, there is a piece of equipment that has already been sealed off by us. You cannot take it away."
Maggy was stunned for a moment, and a bad feeling arose in his heart:
"Which piece of equipment has been sealed off by you?"
The Inquisitor pointed to Assembly Workshop No. 2 not far away:
"I can't say the name of that piece of equipment, but it's in there. Except for that piece of equipment, you can take away the rest of the equipment on the list."
"But that piece of equipment is related to the bacterial disaster in the agricultural world…"
Maggy subconsciously brought up the material tax to refute, but who knew that the Inquisitor would not buy it.
"Do I have to repeat myself again? Except for that piece of equipment, you can take away the other equipment on the list."
The Inquisitor took a step forward, pressed the handle of the gun on his waist, and looked at the Space Guard commander in front of him at close range:
"That piece of equipment is suspected to be an alien technology product. Why are you so persistent in wanting to take it away? Did you participate in the trade and transportation of alien technology products?"
Maggy fell into a brief silence, and looked sideways at the four Department of Law Enforcement warships docked in the dock.
His heart sank sharply, realizing that forcibly snatching the breeding machine was an impossible thing.
The Department of Law Enforcement's fleet is composed of battlecruisers and battleships, which are far superior to the Space Guard's second-hand broken ocean-going ships in terms of firepower and shield thickness, only slightly inferior in speed.
Forcibly snatching the breeding machine from under the eyes of the Department of Law Enforcement is tantamount to courting death.
"Don't joke, sir. If that's the case, then leave that piece of equipment to you. We'll go move the other equipment on the list."
Maggy put on a smile, looking ingratiating.
The Inquisitor turned sideways, made way, "Go ahead, my men will be watching you."
Maggie led the guard team into the space station's lobby, heading towards the assembly workshop, followed by four arbitrators monitoring them.
In the blind spot of the Imperial Enforcement Department members, Maggie's eyes first glazed over, losing consciousness, then within 0.1 seconds, his pupils focused, regaining consciousness, with a hint of gloom in his eyes.
At this moment, it wasn't Maggie controlling this body, but Black Scythe 1.
The breeding machine was about to fall into the hands of the Enforcement Department, and if Black Scythe 1 didn't personally take action, how could he explain it to his master?
He absolutely couldn't let the machine fall into the hands of the Imperial Enforcement Department.
Especially the genetic template inside the machine!
If the Mechanicus got their hands on this, the Lord's plan would likely fall short, and he would become the biggest sinner.
Black Scythe 1 couldn't imagine what kind of punishment he would endure.
Passing by Assembly Workshop No. 2, he observed the defensive strength inside and outside the workshop.
Hundreds of arbitrators and ten law enforcers had the workshop surrounded.
Looking through the crack in the door, Black Scythe 1 vaguely saw the outer shell of the breeding machine being opened, and his heart sank further.
Using Maggie's tone, he instructed his deputy to be responsible for moving the equipment, while he walked towards the supervisor's office area.
The four arbitrators responsible for monitoring Maggie exchanged glances, two of them followed Maggie away, while the other two continued to monitor the team escorting the equipment.
Li Nuo trailed far behind, knowing very well that this Space Guard commander named Maggie should have been parasitized by a Bone Drinker.
The other party was the eldest son of Nideraven XV, a confidant among confidants, and a trusted aide among trusted aides.
Internal reports provided by the Mechanicus stated that the heads of important departments such as Nideraven XV's Stellar Region Tax Affairs Department and Military Supplies Department had been infected.
As the commander of the Space Guard and the eldest son of Nideraven XV, Maggie's parasitization was a certainty.
Li Nuo watched Maggie leave the team and walk alone towards the supervisor's office area, pondered for a moment, and chose to follow Maggie.
The supervisor's office area required biometric identification to enter.
Maggie didn't have the authority to enter.
He should have requested authorization from the Stellar Region Governor's Office and waited for the authorization sequence number to arrive before entering the supervisor's office area.
However, obviously, he couldn't wait any longer.
In front of Li Nuo and two arbitrators, Maggie unlocked the safety of his laser rifle, aimed at the access control and pulled the trigger.
Buzz buzz buzz buzz — — — —
The laser burned through the access control lock, the space station's alarm system detected the attack, and a piercing alarm sounded in the corridor.
"Attention, the biometric access control of the supervisor's office area is under attack! Attention, supervisor's office…"
The space station's armed guards had been concentrated at the dock, and only the Enforcement Department could respond to the alarm.
Several arbitrators heard the broadcast and hurried over.
A total of six arbitrators surrounded Maggie.
Maggie muttered a few words in the internal channel.
The piercing alarm was turned off by the space station armed guards in the dock, and the scene quieted down.
Maggie faced the encirclement formed by the arbitrators, remained calm, and pressed his hands down, appeasing them:
"Don't be nervous, okay, guys. You don't want to waste time waiting for the superior's authorization sequence number, right? Neither do I. So I chose the most direct way to open the door."
"You should have told us first," the arbitrator said, stepping forward.
Maggie chuckled and shrugged:
"Please. This is the Stellar Region Governor's private space station. As the second in line of inheritance in the family, do I need to say hello to you guys before shooting and breaking my own door? Are you kidding me?"
It was reasonable and well-founded, making it impossible to refute, and the arbitrators looked at each other.
Maggie turned and entered the supervisor's office area.
The two arbitrators monitoring Maggie followed, while the other four arbitrators walked in another direction, continuing their work.
Maggie's walking speed became faster and faster, as if he wanted to shake off the two arbitrators behind him.
Li Nuo passed through the entrance, following behind the arbitrators.
The group walked quickly on the marble floor tiles, moving down the spiral staircase, gradually delving into the dangerous area of the space station.
A warning sign hung at the entrance, which read "Radiation area, please wear radiation suits when entering and exiting, no open flames, no strong magnets."
Not far behind this sign, at the end of the narrow passage, stood a large iron door with an observation window.
A faint blue light scattered inside the observation window.
Those who saw this beam of light invariably got goosebumps, as if there was a lot of static electricity in the air.
The two arbitrators stopped, but Maggie in front continued to stride forward without the slightest hesitation.
The arbitrator shouted loudly:
"Hey! Don't go forward! That's the engine room!"
Maggie didn't turn his head, raised his laser rifle and tilted the laser towards the engine room door.
The defense of this door was good, and the lock was still not burned through after receiving more than a dozen red lasers in a row.
A circle of light blue halo lit up on Maggie's right hand gauntlet, and the sizzling sound of electric current quickly increased.
This was a metal gauntlet with a force field effect.
After electromagnetic charging, the force field surrounded the glove, greatly increasing the destructive power of the punch.
Maggie clenched his fist and slammed it forward, punching the door panel.
"Clang!" The metal door was crumbling, and a huge crack appeared in the door hinge.
The arbitrator raised his gun and shouted:
"Stop! Attacking the engine room is a serious crime! Stop it!"
The arbitrators were very nervous, and they didn't even dare to put their fingers on the trigger, for fear of accidental misfire.
The reactor in the engine room was a powder keg.
Static electricity, strong magnetism, high temperature, and vibration, any change could cause the reactor to lose control, and the space station would lose power in the slightest, and the space station would explode in the worst case, and everyone would be turned into cosmic dust together.
The arbitrators knew how serious the consequences were, and no one dared to pull the trigger.
They were using heavy burst rifles, and one shot would produce hundreds of fragments, and no one could guarantee that the fragments would not become the fuse for detonating the reactor.
"Heh heh, if you don't dare to shoot, don't point your guns at me." Maggie looked back at the arbitrator, laughed disdainfully, and then clenched his fist and punched again.
"Clang!"
The door opened!
There were machine servants responsible for maintaining the engine room behind the iron door.
These machine servants were arranged by the Mechanicus.
They were implanted with specific logic circuits, and their purpose was to maintain the Omnissiah's source power device.
The machine servants noticed the movement at the door and issued an alarm through the sound array device:
"Warning! Unauthorized life forms have been detected stepping into the sacred place! The grace of the Omnissiah will never be extinguished, and the mortal flesh is powerless to resist the great power of the holy spark! Intruders, leave here immediately!"
Maggie simply killed the machine servants, took off the projectile from his waist, tapped it on his leg armor, and threw it towards the iron door behind him.
The two arbitrators happened to catch up nearby, colliding head-on with the projectile thrown by Maggie.
This thing was an offensive thermite grenade, which would not explode on the first impact after the safety was removed, but would explode immediately on the second impact, so it could be used to ricochet off the wall to kill the target behind the cover.
The leading arbitrator happened to meet the grenade face to face.
"Bang! Rumble — — — —"
The explosion wave spewed out wantonly, and the scorching magma enveloped the two arbitrators, and the screams rose and fell, and soon evolved into a tragic whimper before death.
A small part of the grenade fragments shot into the engine room, just falling on the outer shell of the reactor in the center of the engine room, instantly bursting out a large cloud of electric sparks, and there were obvious electric light curves in the air.
Li Nuo was just outside the blast range at this time.
Fortunately, he was not too far forward, otherwise he would definitely be scratched by shrapnel and leave the invisible state.
Maggie's figure in the engine room shook and ran towards the reactor, disappearing in an instant.
Li Nuo avoided the lifeless arbitrators and quickly approached the engine room.
The closer he got to the engine room, the more obvious the stinging on his skin became, as if countless silver needles were drilling into his body.
Stepping into the engine room, Li Nuo looked around, searching for Maggie's whereabouts.
This place covered a vast area of about two thousand square meters.
The plasma reactor was a disk about twenty meters in diameter, placed vertically on the stone pillar in the center of the engine room.
Its surface was densely covered with thick black pipes, and bright blue light penetrated from the gaps in the pipes.
Maggie's figure was shaking under the reactor, as if he was arranging something.
Li Nuo went over and took a look, it was a string of timed detonating grenades, the safety of the grenades had been removed, and they were detonated by a timer.
Maggie set the detonation time to two minutes later.
When the timer started counting down, Maggie stood up and ran towards the engine room door, while shouting in the internal communication channel:
"Send a shuttle to the emergency exit at the bottom of the space station to pick me up! Hurry up!"
Maggie strode away, and the sound of his footsteps disappeared outside the engine room door, completely unaware that his every move was exposed to the Green-skinned Grandfather's gaze.
Li Nuo looked at the direction Maggie left, then looked down at the electromagnetic grenade, and went offline on the spot.
While there was still more than a minute left in the countdown, he hurried to move the reinforcements!
Mona must know which wire to cut to terminate the countdown!
