I cultivate mushrooms in warhammer

Chapter 189: Subspace Walking Development Progress is Less Than 1%

“If I could fix myself to the surface of an object with my mind while walking in subspace, could I stick to the outside of a vehicle and move with it?”

Narrowing his eyes, Li Nuo looked at the ship behind him, his mind racing.

Imagine being in a subspace walking state, stuck to the ship's outer armor, entering subspace with the ship; what would happen next?

Li Nuo spent some brainpower but couldn't figure it out, and he didn't dare try it.

As a transmigrator, he had too many secrets hidden in his mind; it was best to have a Geller field protecting him when entering subspace.

“Then, can I change my thinking…”

A flash of inspiration struck Li Nuo; he turned his gaze and stared at the armored vehicle not far away.

What would it be like to drive in subspace?

Would his hands drag the steering wheel into the subspace layer, or would he pass through the armored vehicle, watching it drive away?

Li Nuo noticed something unusual.

He seemed to see souls.

The souls of the Ou'Ne, the souls of humans, the souls of sub-humans.

These enemies killed by the Inner Circle veterans had their souls turn into black smoke, leaving their bodies and floating in the same direction.

Following the path of the souls, Li Nuo's pupils shrank dramatically:

“Holy crap… what is that thing?”

At the end of the infinitely distant sky, a pitch-black "iron hook" was using tentacles to roll up souls and send them into its "mouthparts."

The principle of subspace walking is to fade out of the physical universe and enter the subspace layer, that is, to walk freely in the interlayer between the physical universe and subspace.

This state is somewhat similar to the Tau's subspace navigation technology.

When in the interlayer, one can see both the scenery of the physical universe and that of subspace.

So the "iron hook" above his head may be a subspace entity.

It was devouring the souls of the dead, strengthening itself.

It was conceivable that with the arrival of the Space Marine legions, this star system would set off monstrous waves, and the screams and wails of the dead would greatly nourish the subspace entity.

He wondered if the human empire's psykers could detect the existence of this thing and how they would prevent it.

More than ten minutes later, the battle ended.

The Inner Circle veterans left a few alive to interrogate for information.

Li Nuo skipped the interrogation process.

When the Inner Circle veterans were about to set off, he stood on the roof of the car, fixed himself to the car with his mind, and set off with them.

Half an hour later, the armored vehicle entered a settlement area with many slave soldiers, slave laborers, and sweatshops.

The Inner Circle veterans were like they had been injected with chicken blood, killing from beginning to end, then from the ground to the underground, finally stopping their slaughter near the track about two hundred meters underground.

They hijacked, oh no, requisitioned a rail train and headed towards the planetary capital.

Along the way, there were several ambushes, chases, and encounters. The original dozen train cars were reduced to only one-third of a locomotive by the end.

Finally, when entering the capital, the train was stopped by a blown-up tunnel. The Inner Circle veterans had to kill their way to the surface, change vehicles, and continue towards the core building of the capital—the Orbital Tower.

The Ou'Ne were a privateer civilization, particularly valuing control over transportation facilities; production facilities were not so important.

Their Orbital Tower was equivalent to a combination of a "Hive World Noble District" and a "Hive World Orbital Tower," with the upper part being an orbital elevator, space dock, and command tower, and the lower part being the residences of the higher Ou'Ne.

The Ou'Ne's artistic taste was somewhat similar to the black bean sprouts, liking to play with living art such as bone carvings and flesh carvings, which could be said to be unbearable to look at.

For example, a common transparent culture tank.

Rows of glass tanks were semi-embedded in the walls or columns, seemingly used as decorations.

Inside the translucent tank walls, the nerve bundles of humanoid embryos were performing a sickening symbiotic dance with mechanical spines.

Suddenly, a culture tank shattered, and as the liquid splashed into the real dimension, dozens of strands of black smoke emanated from the surface subspace.

The black smoke was sucked into the high altitude, returning to the subspace entity with the "iron hook" appearance, while the embryo in the culture tank lost its breath.

Li Nuo's scalp tingled.

He turned his head and realized that the Inner Circle veterans had already stormed into the heavily guarded Orbital Tower, shouting slogans, and were fighting with the elite forces inside.

Li Nuo avoided the center of the battle, directly passing through layers of defenses and entering the deepest part of the first floor of the Orbital Tower.

Here, he found more than a dozen beings that could pose a threat to him.

They were Ou'Ne psykers who had defected to the blue-haired big bird.

Their purple skin grew some blue fluff, their eyes were cunning, they wore hoods and masks covering their faces, wore gorgeous robes, and held force field staffs.

Li Nuo was still in a subspace walking state; the surrounding environment was gray and white, only these psykers were colored.

They stood in front of a huge metal door more than twenty meters high, as if guarding the things behind the door.

Li Nuo took a few steps forward and felt a force repelling him, like running into soft cotton.

“Huh? There's a psychic barrier here?”

His gaze moved along the edge of the huge metal door, and Li Nuo saw some clues.

This door was also colored.

However, its color was black, similar to the gray-white background color of the environment, so it was not identified immediately.

A hazy black light appeared on the black door panel, and it was this light that was suppressing everything in subspace.

Li Nuo tried to take a few more steps forward, and the pushing force acting on his body became more and more obvious.

As the distance shortened, the etched pattern on the black door came into view.

The distorted lines mapped into wriggling meridians on the subspace layer, forming a vast pattern similar to a magic circle.

Li Nuo threw out an appraisal technique, raised his eyebrows; the door's shell was actually mixed with Blackstone.

Not only that, but the walls near the door were also covered with paint containing Blackstone components.

Blackstone was currently in a positive polarity state, completely isolating the room behind the door from subspace.

Subspace walking could not enter it; one could only open the door from the physical universe or blow up the wall.

“What are these Ou'Ne psykers doing here…”

Li Nuo pondered slightly and temporarily put this aside.

He had previously learned the Ou'Ne language with "Talking Spirit" and could now understand road signs and maps.

The coordinate data of Palu Planet should be stored in the privateer database.

The database server was located in the underground area of the Orbital Tower.

Li Nuo locked onto the floor under his feet with his mind, canceled "collision volume," and sank into the floor.

One floor, two floors, three floors…

Sinking through five floors in one breath, Li Nuo finally found his destination.

The server array was immersed in liquid nitrogen, the air temperature was below zero, and a thick white mist floated on the surface of the cooling pool.

Li Nuo followed the server's pipes and found an electronic device guarded by a dedicated person.

The appearance of this object was similar to a Cogitator, using wetware as a computing unit, outputting information through a pixel screen, and inputting information through the Ou'Ne keyboard and stylus.

The person guarding the device was a biochemically modified strongman and a higher Ou'Ne in a robe.

The latter sat at the table, typing furiously on the keyboard, seemingly checking data.

The Ou'Ne strongman stood aside with his arms folded, chatting with the higher Ou'Ne.

Li Nuo was not in a hurry to act.

He found that there were monitoring and sound-collecting devices in this room.

Searching along the internal lines of the wall, he found a manned monitoring room a hundred meters away.

More than a dozen monitoring screens hung on the wall, and two burly Ou'Ne were staring at the screen.

There were also many biochemical modification marks on their bodies.

There were injection components for injecting agents on the back, the face was covered by a mechanical mask, the eyelids were cut off, the eyeballs were replaced with prosthetic eyes, the parts below the neck were covered with metal shells, and the palms and soles of the feet had force field generators, with considerable destructive power.

Looking around, Li Nuo nodded slightly; there were no monitors in the monitoring room, which was easy to handle.

Taking a deep breath and exhaling slowly, Li Nuo quietly canceled subspace walking, simultaneously activated the fungal ability - optical stealth, and two brain-paralyzing techniques followed his gaze and were thrown out.

The figures at the table paused, stunned.

The injectors behind them started automatically, and red liquid entered the spine.

The strongman's body trembled, like a sieve, and the intracranial implant issued a beeping alarm.

The next second, the two of them jumped up from their chairs, their hands flashing with sparks amidst a buzzing sound, transforming into massive, lightning-infused steel fists.

“Hoo— Hoo—”

The wind from the fists howled, electric currents surged, and dense, tiny electric snakes roamed everywhere.

Li Nuo entered the subspace realm in time, avoiding the ubiquitous electric currents.

Seeing that the electric shock had failed to force the intruder out, the two burly men immediately slammed down on the buttons on the table.

An alarm sounded in the corridor outside the monitoring room, and some kind of scanning force field stirred up ripples in the air, quickly sweeping through the entire room from front to back.

The door was kicked open, and a group of similarly dressed O'Neillian burly men rushed in, the leader's neck thicker than Li Nuo's thigh.

They carefully searched the room inside and out several times, but still failed to find any trace of the intruder, and could only temporarily abandon the search, sending a few more people to the monitoring room.

In this way, after Li Nuo's simple probing, the number of security personnel in the monitoring room increased from two to five.

“These O'Neillians' hormone technology is still something.”

Li Nuo pondered, looking at the battle record on the system interface.

【You consumed 50 kilograms of Dull Mushrooms and cast Brain Freeze on the target.】

【Warning, affected by unknown hormones, the target prematurely broke free from the Brain Freeze state.】

Immune to Brain Freeze!

This was the first time Li Nuo had encountered such a situation.

He threw an Appraisal spell at the potion, and the truth surfaced.

【Name: Unknown Hormone Potion.】

【Description:】

The latest novels are first published on 6\\9\\Shu\\Ba!

【A unique neural hormone of the O'Neillians, used to forcibly stimulate brain nerve signals, making the user's will as firm as steel, unaffected by illusions and similar effects.】

Li Nuo became somewhat interested in the potion.

He deactivated subspace walking, did not activate optical stealth, and directly locked onto the five burly men with their backs to him using his mind.

“Click.”

After a crisp snap of his fingers, the signature psychic ability of the psychic kid - Head Explosion - was activated.

The five round heads exploded in response, and red and white matter splattered everywhere.

A five-kill was instantly achieved!

Subspace walking is secretive and free, and Head Explosion is crude and powerful. When the two are combined, it is truly a sharp weapon for home travel and instant kill infiltration!

WAAAGH!

Li Nuo cheered in his heart.

“Ring ring ring — — — — — —”

The piercing alarm sounded again, this time triggered by the life signal monitoring device in the O'Neillian burly men's bodies.

Dense footsteps came from the corridor.

Li Nuo activated subspace walking, teleported, came from the monitoring room to the corridor, and watched more than a dozen burly men pass in front of him.

The leader kicked open the monitoring room door, the force field gauntlet condensed electric light, and cautiously observed the situation in the room.

The colleagues behind him drew their guns, and those holding shields, cooperated in an orderly manner, forming some kind of CQB formation.

Li Nuo waited for more than ten seconds, confirming that no other personnel were coming, and then deactivated subspace walking and threw out a Light spell.

White light of ten million lux suddenly descended, instantly burning through the O'Neillian burly men's prosthetic eyes and the surveillance cameras in the corridor.

Before they could scream, Li Nuo snapped his fingers repeatedly.

“Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang — — — —”

Heads exploded one after another, and the stench of dirty blood filled the room inside and out. When the blood flowers fell towards Li Nuo, they were bounced away by the Vibration spell and scattered on the ground.

Li Nuo carefully observed the corpses and did not find any Bone Drinker parasitic spores.

It seems that the security personnel here are too low-level and do not meet the minimum standard for being parasitized by the Bone Drinker.

Thinking about it carefully, none of the enemies encountered along the way showed any signs of infection.

It can be seen that ordinary combat units are not worth the Bone Drinker wasting spores to parasitize.

Li Nuo used Water Ball Bacteria to collect a portion of the potion and store it in the Fungal Warehouse, and activated Corpse Transformation.

Before long, the corpses all over the floor turned into liquid ammonia fertilizer and dissipated into nothing.

Li Nuo stepped into the monitoring room, locked the door, returned to the corridor, and went to the cooling room where the server was located.

The duty personnel here heard the alarm and were vigilantly looking at the only door in the room.

Li Nuo passed through the wall, crushed the head, took away the high-level O'Neillian's permission card, collected his blood sample, and finally turned the corpse into nothing.

Inserting the permission card into the electronic device and using the blood sample to pass the second inspection, the O'Neillian's core database officially opened its doors to Li Nuo.

Directed search for the space coordinates of Palu Planet.

Fifteen data appeared on the pixel display screen.

Li Nuo read them one by one and recorded the list of personnel who had consulted these 15 data.

Removing the personnel who have already died, there are still 3 people who know of Palu Planet's existence.

The three of them happened to be the ruler of this orbital tower and two deputies.

Opening the operating interface of the cooling pool, and using the permission card and blood sample to pass the inspection again, Li Nuo executed the maintenance agreement of the cooling pool and forcibly emptied the liquid nitrogen.

After waiting for a while, the cooling pool with floating white mist became clear. All the liquid nitrogen disappeared, leaving only the server that constantly emitted heat in place.

Li Nuo opened the isolation door of the cooling pool, took out the Orc fuel from the Fungal Warehouse and spread it all over the field, and took out sufficient combustion aid to assist combustion.

A few seconds later, the cooling pool was shrouded in flames, the fire alarm indicator lights on the wall burst into red light, but not a drop of water flowed out of the fire pipeline.

Li Nuo quietly waited for the flames to burn out, confirming that the data loss was irreversible, and then activated subspace walking to deal with the intelligence in the hands of the 3 informants.

When he came, he went down through the wall.

When he went back, he could also go back to the upper floor by going through the wall.

The specific operation method is not complicated. Lock the wall with your mind, trigger the collision volume, and walk up on the wall like a gecko swimming dragon.

Returning to the ground area, it was scarred and full of traces of battle.

Those who died were all O'Neillians and slave soldiers, and the 13 Inner Circle veterans were only panting, nothing else.

They scavenged some of the enemy's compressed food, ate it with clean water, took turns resting, and remained vigilant, with no wounds on their bodies.

This is simply unbelievable.

How many enemies did these 13 Inner Circle veterans kill?

Hundreds, thousands?

No, no, no, definitely over ten thousand.

13 people killed tens of thousands of enemies equipped with guns and armor?

Is this reasonable?

If the Dark Angel's Inner Circle veterans all had this strength, then the Human Empire would have flattened the galaxy long ago.

“There is very much thirteen that is not right.”

A subtle change occurred in Li Nuo's eyes.

“Could it be because their number is 13? 13 is the sacred number of the yellow weasel. It seems reasonable for 13 Inner Circle veterans to kill through the alien capital... But, the Emperor of the 30k era is not yet the God Emperor, will the sacred number 13 work?”

Li Nuo scratched his head, somewhat puzzled, and could only throw the blame on the Emperor's head.

As long as this group of Inner Circle veterans doesn't run into O'Neillian psykers, it is very likely that they will kill through the orbital tower.

Just as Li Nuo was thinking this, the veterans found the route map and moved towards the depths of the orbital tower in a tactical formation.

The direction they were walking was exactly the area guarded by the O'Neillian psyker.

Li Nuo's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he pondered secretly, feeling a little hesitant, wondering whether he should go forward to help.

There are many black stone materials in that place, which can isolate the subspace and the physical universe, and it is estimated that they are used to guard something important.

Since there are no things like doorplates, Li Nuo doesn't know what is behind the door.

I don't know what these veterans are thinking, leaving the elevator platform and instead going to find the O'Neillian psyker and the Black Stone Gate to cause trouble…

“Forget it, I'll go erase the space coordinates of Palu Planet first, lest the owner here escape by boat.”

Li Nuo calmed his mind, stepped on the wall and walked upwards, encountering many armed personnel running in the corridors and stairwells.

Arriving at the 32nd floor of the orbital tower, the view became wider.

The floor's height was raised to about 20 meters, and man-made gardens, small lakes, and grasslands were scattered throughout the floor. In the middle was a classical building in the early historical culture of the O'Neillians, shaped like a witch's hut in the forest.

Don't think that a place with gardens, small lakes, and grasslands must be beautiful.

The O'Neillians' aesthetics never disappoint.

The flowers in the garden are like octopuses, black branches are covered with barbs, the flowers are dark purple, and scarlet bugs crawl on them.

The lake water is dark green, and the grass is dark brown, which makes people feel disgusted and has an irresistible physiological discomfort.

Twisted “branches” extend from the log cabin, and sculptures hanging from the ends sway in the wind.

On the open space in front of the door, blue candlelight illuminates a small area, and three figures are having fun, who are the owner of this orbital tower and its two deputies.

“Alas, it's really an eyesore.”

Li Nuo frowned, always feeling that dealing with these three O'Neillians would dirty his hands.

“Forget it, I'm already here.”

Li Nuo raised his hand, locked his eyes on the two deputies, and lightly snapped his fingers.

“Bang bang bang — — — —”

Head Explosion, activate!
