I cultivate mushrooms in warhammer

#169 - Gamma-Class Psychic Bone Drinker

Li Nuo awoke in his residence in the Royal District, the time just arriving at the dawn of a new day.

In the following days, he used the 60% ancestral atavism of the Primordial Venom Fungus to create the second generation of Venom-Transmuting Amylase.

Based on this, the second-generation synthetic starch preparation formula was freshly baked.

Experiments showed that the new formula and the new catalyst did indeed double the yield of synthetic starch.

However, there was a problem that could not be ignored: the water supply was insufficient.

Currently, there is no cheap and efficient method to expand the water source, so the promotion of the second-generation synthetic starch formula has to be postponed.

The reconstruction of Granit 5 Star was on the right track.

Just as Li Nuo had expected, the Imperial Fists helped themselves by cutting in line and taking a plasma reactor from Mars.

The selling price of this reactor was 130 million Throne Coins, and the Imperial Fists quoted 150 million Throne Coins plus the priority purchase right for 18 million tons of synthetic starch per month.

An increase of only 20 million Throne Coins was already very conscientious. Li Nuo did not haggle and readily signed the transaction contract with the representative of the Imperial Fists.

This 150 million Throne Coins was nominally paid by Li Nuo, but actually advanced by Voges.

As for whether Li Nuo would need to repay the 150 million when he had money in the future, Voges said it didn't matter. Repaying or not was the same, because everything would belong to Li Nuo and Tidor after he died.

How should I put it... Voges was right, but it felt like I had heard it somewhere before.

On closer thought, it seemed that his old man had said the same thing before he transmigrated.

Li Nuo commented that this was a common phrase used by parents in the multiverse.

The Governor's mansion, mining area, and miner living area of Granit 5 Star are being rebuilt.

Building materials are taken from local sources and put into use after being processed by smelting plants and forging plants.

The mining equipment in the mining area was destroyed and dismantled by the rebels, with less than 10% remaining. Li Nuo had to buy new ones.

After consulting with Ms. Shatana about various industrial worlds, an industrial world called Meslaton came into Li Nuo's view.

This is a very advanced industrial world. Before joining the Empire, it was a technological civilization ruled by aliens.

After the aliens were eliminated, the heretical technology was recovered and used by the Adeptus Mechanicus, and thus there is the current Meslaton.

Li Nuo planned to purchase thousands of mining equipment clusters from Meslaton. Including installation and maintenance costs, the total amount of this order would reach 50 million Throne Coins.

The governor of Meslaton, after hearing about it, specially sent a delegation to Epimethius to negotiate the contract with Li Nuo on the spot.

Originally, this should have been a mutually beneficial transaction.

But as a piece of agent audio was transmitted to Li Nuo's ear, things became interesting.

"Sir, we found Bone Drinkers in this delegation. What should we do now?"

Mona sent a warning through encrypted communication. She was following the welcoming team at the airport, waiting for the delegation to land.

Since Zesi's two students joined Li Nuo's command, the agents' equipment has been upgraded.

The original hand-held augur scanners have been replaced with shoulder scanners, which are more portable and have stronger scanning penetration, allowing real-time scanning of personnel inside ships from a distance of thousands of meters.

When the armed freighter carrying the delegation sailed into the berth, a crisp prompt sound told Mona that among the 12 people about to disembark, 3 had Bone Drinker biosignals on them.

Whether the remaining 9 people were Bone Drinkers was a question mark.

The metabolites produced by the parasitic spores on them may not have been entered into the database yet, so they were not scanned.

In short, facing such a delegation mixed with Bone Drinkers, we must be careful.

Li Nuo paused his work, took out the identity chip of the agent leader, inserted it into the communicator, and retrieved the battle recorder screen of Mona.

From the other party's perspective, Li Nuo saw the ship that had just stopped.

In the picture, three scarlet exclamation marks were moving with three figures.

"Mona, have Isabel find out what the identities of the three people infected by Bone Drinkers are in the delegation."

"Yes, sir." Mona raised her hand and patted Isabel in front of her, whispering a few words to her.

"Are you sure there's something wrong with those three people?" Isabel's expression became a little dignified, and then returned to normal, so as not to be seen by the Bone Drinkers.

"Yes, I'm sure there's something wrong with those three people." Mona whispered:

"Not only those three people, but the other nine people may also have problems. Try to avoid physical contact with them later."

"Okay, I got it." Isabel pursed her lips.

Under Li Nuo's arrangement, Isabel was responsible for contacting the delegation.

She had heard of the Bone Drinkers' reputation for a long time, and knew how dangerous this fungal alien was.

Now that she learned that there were at least three Bone Drinkers in the delegation, how could she not be nervous?

"Tss——" The hatch of the armed freighter opened under the thrust of the pneumatic device, and the delegation walked out of the cabin escorted by armed crew members.

The leader was a middle-aged man dressed as a senior manager, with greasy slicked-back hair, a light gray suit, and a dark red striped tie.

"Mr. Meslaton, I am Isabel Kram. I would like to welcome you and your team on behalf of the governor."

Isabel stretched out her right hand to the leader of the delegation.

The middle-aged man, called Meslaton, smiled, scanned Isabel up and down, who was wearing a black waist-tight work uniform, and said with a smile while shaking hands:

"Hello, Isabel, I am Gennaro Meslaton. Compared to calling me by my last name, I prefer you to call me by my first name, which will make me feel closer to you."

Sleazy middle-aged man... Isabel slandered in her heart, nodding her chin with a polite smile:

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Gennaro. May I ask who these are?"

Gennaro turned to gesture behind him:

"These two beside me are my assistants, and the rest are my friends who came to travel. They heard that the first district of Epimethius is a beautiful garden city, and they insisted on coming to see it. I don't think you should mind, Isabel?"

"Hehe, of course, please come this way, we will arrange special cars and tour guides for your friends."

Isabel and Mona signaled with their eyes, leading Gennaro and others to the transport vehicle.

Mona fell behind half a step, closely monitoring the delegation's every move with the other two agents.

"Sir, the three Bone Drinkers are Gennaro's friends."

"Yes, I heard the conversation just now." Li Nuo tapped a few times on the keyboard of the communicator and ordered in the encrypted channel:

"You keep an eye on Gennaro and his two assistants on the spot. I'll arrange another team of agents to monitor Gennaro's friends. By the way, what day is it today?"

"Saturday, sir."

"Oh, that is to say, Amy doesn't have school today, right?"

"Yes, sir."

Li Nuo snapped his fingers:

"Then I'll leave this matter to Amy. Her old man told me that Amy has integrated the excellent genes of the agent leader, so today's mission should not be difficult for her. Brandy, call Amy."

"Okay, master." The mechanical claw of the servo skull poked on the data panel.

The phone is connected.

Amy's panting came from the other end of the phone, sounding like she was running:

"What's the matter, Li Nuo? I'm sparring with Leia."

"Bone Drinkers have appeared in the hive city. Come and help. Leia will also come. See the document on the data panel for details. My requirement is to first find out how many Bone Drinkers are in this delegation, and then accurately kill them without accidentally injuring innocent people."

Li Nuo sent the video of Mona's battle recorder.

After Amy finished reading it, she understood and dropped a sentence, hanging up the communication:

"You can watch it. What Dad can do, I can do too."

The communication is closed.

The next second, dozens of lines of command records appeared on the command interface of the agent department.

These instructions were issued by Amy using her own authority.

She completed the "deployment" at an extremely fast speed.

Two agent squads departed from the stronghold in the first district, taking armed transport vehicles disguised as passing vehicles to the orbital tower.

At the same time, the Legal Department Supervision Office of the upper hive city's first district received a warning from the agent department, and the judicial police and chemical defense forces immediately sealed off the streets around the orbital tower.

All of this happened within 30 minutes.

When the delegation arrived at the ground of the first district through the elevator of the orbital tower, what greeted them was the prosperous street scene and the governor's agents who perfectly integrated into the passers-by.

Gennaro and two assistants left in Isabel's transport vehicle, and the nine people who came to travel boarded another transport vehicle.

The driver and tour guide on this transport vehicle were both played by the governor's agents.

After the nine tourists got on the bus, the tour guide enthusiastically introduced them to the local wines and cigarettes of Epimethius, and took out corresponding samples to distribute.

Male tourists received gold-labeled cigarettes from the Kram Cigarette Factory and red wine samples from the Wilshire Distillery.

Female tourists received women's menthol cigarettes and fruit wine samples from the Wilshire Distillery.

For tourists who don't like smoking and drinking, the tour guide placed snacks, desserts, and non-alcoholic beverages on the table.

The cigarettes, alcohol, and various snacks and desserts contained a special ingredient called the Bone Drinker Verifier.

This ingredient was developed by Jersey and exists as a powder at standard temperature and pressure, with a slight fragrance. It can be added to cigarettes, alcohol, and food as a seasoning, and it will not lose its effectiveness after heating.

The 9 tourists in the carriage did not notice the existence of the Verifier.

Those who liked to smoke smoked, those who liked to drink drank, and those who liked desserts ate desserts.

After eating and drinking like this for a few minutes, the accumulated dose of the Verifier in their bodies reached the threshold, and the effect began to appear.

The cheeks of the 3 'tourists' who had been confirmed as Bone Drinkers turned red, their breathing became somewhat rapid, and a painful expression flickered across their faces.

The other 6 tourists were the same.

Slight beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads, and the blood vessels in their necks bulged outwards, forming veins.

"It seems a little hot." The Bone Drinker unbuttoned his coat, fanned himself with his hand, and stretched his right hand towards the car window.

The tour guide and the driver exchanged glances, and the two silently counted three, two, one. The next second, the transport vehicle braked suddenly.

"Screech——"

The harsh friction sound rang out on the street. The tour guide and the driver pushed open the car door like lightning and tumbled out of the carriage.

At the same time, several law enforcement and chemical defense vehicles stopped around the transport vehicle.

A force field generator was installed on the top of one of the transport vehicles.

When this device was activated, a white energy bubble emerged, covering a range of one kilometer and encompassing the transport vehicle where the Bone Drinkers were located.

What followed was a scarlet laser storm.

"Buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz——"

Red rays burst out horizontally, instantly turning the 9 Bone Drinkers in the transport vehicle into a hornet's nest. A strong smell of burning permeated the air, and the temperature rose under the scorching of the laser.

Blue-purple light emanated from the corpses, attracting a new round of laser bursts.

The latest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

At this point, all 9 Bone Drinkers whose identities had been verified were dead.

It was impossible for them to transmit warning messages through the mental network.

Because the energy barrier covering the scene was a controlled item that could block the Bone Drinkers' mental communication, authorized by Jersey for Epi-mite to use.

The chemical defense unit injected vaccines into the two Governor's agents who had risked their lives.

Small bumps formed on the necks of the two. The small bumps did not turn red, bulge, or crack, which meant that the two were safe and had not been infected by the Bone Drinkers.

Li Nuo saw the entire process through the communicator and silently gave a thumbs up in his heart for the rapid response capabilities of the law enforcement and chemical defense units.

Of course, the two Governor's agents were also very brave and must be given substantial rewards.

Now it depends on Isabel's situation.

Li Nuo switched the monitoring perspective on the communicator and brought up Mona's picture.

The transport vehicle where Mona was located was a box-type welcoming vehicle, and the interior space was very spacious.

Two rows of seats were placed facing each other on both sides of the carriage, and a long table for placing tea, drinks, and desserts was in the middle.

Isabel and her assistant sat on the left side of the carriage, and Gennaro and two assistants sat on the right side.

When the 9 Bone Drinkers died, the expressions of Gennaro and the two assistants did not change much. The three chatted and laughed with Isabel as usual, making it impossible to see anything amiss.

But half a minute later, one of the assistants suddenly changed his expression slightly, frowned, and unconsciously looked at Gennaro.

As time passed, his expression became more and more solemn.

Gennaro and the other assistant's expressions also changed in the same way.

There was no verbal communication between the three of them, but they became taciturn.

The force field that blocked mental communication could indeed block the 9 Bone Drinkers from sending out information.

But when other Bone Drinkers actively contacted the 9 Bone Drinkers, the former would not receive any feedback, and thus would notice the anomaly.

Gennaro and the two assistants' expressions changed because of this.

This shows that the three of them are also Bone Drinkers.

Amy's voice sounded in Mona's perspective, "Prepare to move."

"Roger." Mona said softly in the communication channel:

"Close your eyes."

The communication target of this sentence was Isabel and her assistant.

Isabel and the assistant immediately closed their eyes, and Mona threw a flashbang on the table.

"Pop!"

The combat recorder was a vast expanse of white, a harsh braking sound rang out, followed by the sound of the car door being opened.

When the white flash on the screen disappeared, Isabel and the assistant had been transferred by the agents to outside the transport vehicle.

Law enforcement and chemical defense vehicles appeared near the transport vehicle.

A bubble-shaped white force field rose, blocking the Bone Drinkers' mental communication.

The scarlet storm crisscrossed the transport vehicle, venting firepower at the figures inside.

"Stop!" The police chief raised his right fist, and the laser rain abruptly stopped.

A stream of thick smoke emerged from the transport vehicle, obscuring everyone's vision.

The thick smoke quickly dissipated, and two corpses stood out from inside the car.

Two corpses?

Shouldn't there be three?

Everyone on the scene felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.

After the chemical defense unit completed the examination of Mona and others, they asked the five of them to stand outside the encirclement.

At this moment, Amy's voice came from Mona's screen.

"Mona, seven o'clock direction, pay attention to the roof, I saw someone there from the street's surveillance perspective, please confirm."

Mona followed Amy's instructions and turned the muzzle of her gun to seven o'clock.

There was a ten-story Gothic building there.

A figure stood at the very tip of the pointed arched roof.

The outline of his body was blurred under the artificial sunlight, and it could be vaguely seen that it was a middle-aged man.

"There!"

Mona shouted sharply and fired.

The law enforcement officers suddenly turned around, looking up at the direction Mona pointed.

"Buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz——"

The scarlet rain came rushing in.

Before being hit by the laser, the figure on the pointed arched roof turned into a bubble and disappeared, leaving only bizarre and colorful light and shadow fragments.

When this figure disappeared, the psionic reading in Mona's perspective showed a steep curve, and the highest point of the curve stayed at a shocking indicator:

Gamma level.

That figure was a Gamma-level psionic.

One in a billion people will awaken Gamma-level psionic powers.

Of the one thousand people who awaken Gamma-level psionic powers, nine hundred and ninety-nine will die on the spot.

In other words, that figure standing on the top of the pointed arched building was one in a trillion, and his power was beyond doubt.

Gamma-level psionic Bone Drinker, how did this level of existence come to Epi-mite?

What is he after?

Li Nuo slowly stood up and smelled an unusual aura.

He could vaguely feel that a carefully woven conspiracy had quietly unfolded a few days ago or a dozen days ago.

If it weren't for making sufficient arrangements against the Bone Drinkers, he would never have been able to discover the existence of the Gamma-level psionic Bone Drinker.

"Mona, confirm who the dead in the transport vehicle are." Amy's voice came from the screen.

"Roger."

Mona used a scanner to specifically scan the corpses in the car and gave a response:

"I confirm that the dead are Gennaro Mesraton's two assistants. It seems that the Gamma-level psionic Bone Drinker just now was Gennaro himself. Boss, what do we do now?"

"Let me discuss it with Li Nuo first." Amy switched to her encrypted channel with Li Nuo.

Before she could speak, Li Nuo spoke first:

"Amy, I saw the situation on the scene. I will ask Ms. Shatana to request support from Terra and apply for the Sisters of Silence to intervene. You let the agents return to the Royal Court area and raise the alert level to the highest level starting today."

"Roger."

Li Nuo called Shatana and asked her to send a Star Language message to Terra for support.

Gamma-level psionics are completely beyond the scope that the hive city can handle.

Although Li Nuo has many trump cards that have not yet been played, he does not dare to be careless, and the reinforcements that should be moved must be moved.

After finishing the call with Shatana, Li Nuo called Tido again and asked her to stay in Brandti from today onwards and go out to work after the invaders were caught.

After a round of arrangements, Li Nuo opened the secret room in the office.

This secret room displays contingency plans for various crisis situations.

The holographic projection automatically started, and the information and response plans for aliens and violent elements were presented on the wall.

Gamma-level illegal psionics were impressively listed, and Bone Drinkers were also among them.

Putting these two emergency plans together to check, the Gamma-level psionic Bone Drinker's intention for this trip is obvious.

"So that's how it is."

A flash of understanding flashed in Li Nuo's eyes.

He knew what the Gamma-level psionic Bone Drinker's purpose was.
