I cultivate mushrooms in warhammer

Hearing his brother's words, Xiao Zhuang curiously stretched his nose, inhaling deeply the scent emanating from Li Nuo's body:

"Eh? Such a familiar smell, I seem to have smelled it somewhere before."

"Smell? What smell?" Li Nuo unloaded the mushroom-filled bag, raising his arm in confusion and carefully sniffing himself.

Apart from the smell of sweat and a faint metallic scent of blood, he didn't detect any special odor.

Leia wanted to step forward to inspect the mushrooms, but Da Zhuang stopped her, preventing her from moving.

"Leia, don't go over there." A coldness appeared in Da Zhuang's scarlet eyes:

"I'm certain, Li Nuo has the scent of those lunatics from the Reconciliation Church on him. We better leave quickly, this might be a trap."

"Right! The Reconciliation Church! I remember now, it's the scent of the Reconciliation Church!" Xiao Zhuang shrieked, his fur standing on end, slightly crouching into a defensive posture, his small eyes darting around:

"Li Nuo is so late, was he discussing with the Reconciliation Church how to deal with us? Are we surrounded by cultists?!"

Da Zhuang didn't speak, but forcefully dragged his younger brother and Leia back, while cautiously surveying their surroundings.

Leia finally reacted at this moment:

"Are you suspecting Li Nuo is in league with the Reconciliation Church? How is that possible? If he wanted to team up with the cultists to deal with us, he could have just poisoned the mushrooms. Besides, those cultists know the Ratkin can smell them, how could they not deal with the scent on Li Nuo before sending him to deliver mushrooms?"

Leia's mind was quite sharp, much better than the farming-loving Ratkin, actually grasping the key point immediately.

Da Zhuang and Xiao Zhuang were both stunned, scratching their heads in unison.

"Yeah, Brother, I think Sister Leia makes sense."

"Hmm… perhaps I was overthinking it."

Li Nuo's thoughts turned, roughly understanding the situation. The name Reconciliation Church sounded like it was related to Mazh克斯 and the others:

"That's great, do you guys not get along with the Reconciliation Church? Me too! If it weren't for those guys causing trouble today, I wouldn't have been this late."

Leia frowned and asked:

"You encountered cultists from the Reconciliation Church? Where did you encounter them? It couldn't be in the Eighth District, right?"

"It was indeed in the Eighth District, and right where I work."

Leia and the two Ratkin exchanged glances, feeling incredulous.

Da Zhuang sighed worriedly:

"I didn't expect the Reconciliation Church to develop so quickly, even the Undercity has these perverts now."

Xiao Zhuang grabbed his whiskers, playing with them in his hands, looking thoughtful:

"Looks like the Undercity won't be peaceful either. Will we still be able to buy delicious mushrooms in the future…"

Leia came to Li Nuo, her face full of gravity:

"You need to be more careful, don't get targeted by those cultists. The Reconciliation Church is currently the most powerful illegal force in the Undercity, with a large number of people. They not only produce weapons and equipment, but also possess a large number of illegal psionics. Oh, right, was the psionic who bullied you a member of the Reconciliation Church?"

Li Nuo looked helpless:

"Yes, Leia. I've been harassed by cultists recently. Can you tell me about the origins of the Reconciliation Church?"

"Okay, let me think about where to start…" Leia rubbed her temples, slowly recounting the information she knew.

Li Nuo listened attentively, becoming more and more frightened as he listened.

The strangeness of the Reconciliation Church exceeded his imagination.

First of all, all the members of this cult are male, extremely worshiping the physical strength and authority of men.

They have mastered a mysterious biochemical modification technology that allows adult males to quickly become pregnant and give birth to offspring.

The growth rate of the offspring is extremely astonishing.

With a sufficient supply of nutrients, the offspring can turn into an adult male in just one hour.

When the offspring dies, it will be reborn in the father's womb, experiencing the growth process again.

As long as the father doesn't die, the offspring can be resurrected infinitely within the father's body.

The good news is that each father can only have one offspring, and the offspring cannot be transformed into a new father, let alone have their own offspring.

This is an inherent limitation of biochemical modification technology.

The bad news is that the Reconciliation Church has invented a psionic ritual that can transform ordinary people into pseudo-fathers using psionics.

Pseudo-fathers can also give birth to offspring, which are called pseudo-offspring.

Pseudo-offspring are extremely aggressive, possessing short red and black fur and distorted limbs, like monsters.

They are generally used as combat personnel who can be repeatedly reborn.

For example, tie explosive packs to them, order them to rush into a certain faction's base camp to detonate the explosives, and then return to the pseudo-father's body to resurrect.

Using this method, the Reconciliation Church is invincible in the Undercity, scaring many gangs into running away.

Li Nuo clicked his tongue in amazement.

"Don't the Hive City Enforcers and the Planetary Defense Forces care?"

"Care? How can they care?" Leia said with a wry smile:

"That's the Undercity, how could the Enforcers go there to investigate cultists? As for the Planetary Defense Forces, to be honest, I don't have much hope. It is said that in the wilderness outside the Hive City, rebel armies are emerging one after another, and the Planetary Defense Forces may not have time to deal with the threats in the Undercity."

Li Nuo folded his arms and stroked his chin, "In that case, the situation is very serious."

"No, it's more serious than you think." Da Zhuang walked out of the darkness, his voice low:

"The Reconciliation Church has already extended its claws into the Lower Hive. I estimate that there will soon be riots here, followed by bloody suppression, and then even greater riots, and more brutal suppression."

Da Zhuang paused, and sighed deeply:

"If the Lower Hive falls, then I estimate it won't be long before the Middle and Upper Hives follow suit."

Li Nuo raised his eyebrows and smiled amiably:

"This is the first time I've discovered the light of wisdom in a Ratkin. So, may I ask, if I plan to report the cultists to the Enforcers, how can I avoid becoming the subject of investigation myself? You don't want to be watched by the Enforcers because of our deal, do you?"

Da Zhuang pinched the tip of his whiskers with his fingernails and rubbed them slightly, thinking about how to respond:

"I suggest you make an anonymous report. Write an anonymous letter and drop it at the entrance of City Hall, or have another trustworthy person report it for you."

"Anonymous report… hmm, sounds good." Li Nuo nodded slightly.

Xiao Zhuang leaned over, stretched his head and asked, "Can I add something?"

Li Nuo said, "Of course, please."

Xiao Zhuang grinned, and coughed lightly twice, adjusting his expression, speaking old-fashionedly like an adult:

"I think that reporting about the offspring is mostly ineffective. If I were you, I would first find the father and list him as the primary target for reporting."

Li Nuo's eyes lit up:

"Yes, you're right. Killing ten offspring is not as good as killing one father. So how do I find the father?"
