I cultivate mushrooms in warhammer

"No way, buddy."

"You can drive in the Warhammer world too?"

Li Nuo tilted his head and asked:

"Uh… Wick, are you married?"

Wick chuckled:

"I'm not married. I'm just making a wish. You don't want your wife to be dry and stiff, like a wooden doll, do you?"

"Alright, you're right," Li Nuo retorted weakly.

Wick brought his feet together, tapped his heels, activating the magnetic suction device on the soles of his shoes, and took the lead into the corridor.

Li Nuo followed behind, drawing his laser pistol and using the under-mounted flashlight to illuminate the path ahead.

The two walked on the sticky ground, each step pulling up thin strands of slime.

Li Nuo cast Appraisal.

【Appraisal successful.】

【Name: Degraded Chemical Sediment】

【Description: Due to improper operation or deliberate sabotage, a certain chemical substance has suffered a serious leak. It has been exposed to the air for a long time and has turned into the slime you see. This substance has slight toxicity; skin contact and accidental ingestion will at most cause diarrhea.】

Degraded chemical sediment?

Luckily, it's not very toxic, otherwise, I'd have to wear a hazmat suit.

Li Nuo calmed his mind and followed Wick to the end of the corridor.

A steel gate stood in the middle of the road, blocking their path.

Wick had a bunch of keys in his hand.

While trying to open the door with different keys, he said to Li Nuo:

"About half a year ago, there was a serious production accident here. The chemical sedimentation tank leaked, and wastewater flooded half of the factory. When the workers were escaping, they accidentally broke the only water purification equipment in the factory."

"The factory owner didn't have the money to repair the factory and equipment, so he simply sold the factory as a package. So far, no one wants to take over this mess. I came to him and said I wanted to take over, and he threw the key ring to me without even thinking about it."

Li Nuo pondered and asked:

"How much does it cost to buy such a factory?"

"About one or two million credit points."

"Credit points? Is the factory owner from the Mid-Nest?"

"Yes, it's quite common for people from the Mid-Nest to open factories in the Lower-Nest."

Wick lowered his head and fiddled with the keyhole.

Li Nuo was thoughtful.

One or two million credit points to take over an abandoned factory.

In that case, the ten thousand Throne Coins I got must be an astronomical figure.

"Click." The mechanical lock disengaged, and the gate opened a crack.

Li Nuo helped Wick push open the nearly rusted gate with difficulty.

A strong stench came over them.

The two covered their mouths and noses with scarves at the same time, activating the emergency breathing device inside the scarves.

The scarves automatically conformed to their faces, protecting their respiratory systems. The foul smell was filtered by the outer fabric and inner lining of the scarves, turning into relatively clean air entering the nasal cavity, and Li Nuo felt much better.

Wick extinguished the cigarette in his hand, shone the flashlight into the space behind the door, and stepped into it:

"Come on, follow me, let's go see the condition of the water purification equipment, hopefully, it's still there."

After Li Nuo walked through the gate, he looked at the footprint-free floor ahead and asked suspiciously:

"Are you worried that the water purification equipment will be stolen? It shouldn't be. Judging from the traces at the scene, it seems that no one has been here before we arrived."

Wick waved his hand, "Don't jump to conclusions yet. You'll know why I'm praying that the water purification equipment is still here later."

"Okay."

The two shuttled through the factory.

It was like a disaster scene after a flood, with overturned tables, chairs, and benches, and damaged brewing equipment everywhere.

Wick found the power room, opened the door with the key ring, pried open the electrical box, and tried to connect the circuit.

Praise the Omnissiah, the source power system of this factory is barely usable.

After a few sparks burst out of the electrical box, the emergency circuit and emergency lighting facilities were successfully activated.

The road ahead was illuminated, and the two finally didn't have to advance in the dark.

Another good news was that the ventilation fan also started working after a series of ear-scratching noises.

The destination of the two was on the first floor underground, which was the floor for purifying water, and accumulated a lot of carbon dioxide and exhaust gas.

After the ventilation fan worked for more than ten minutes, the two dared to enter the underground area to check the condition of the water purification equipment.

A situation beyond Li Nuo's expectation appeared.

The water purification equipment was gone!

An industrial water purification equipment covering an area of more than fifty square meters, reaching a height of two meters, with a series of components such as high-pressure water pumps, mixers, disinfectors, and filter grilles, was gone.

It disappeared without a trace, and not even a screw was left on the scene.

"What's going on?"

Li Nuo lowered his head and scanned the ground, and messy and numerous footprints came into view.

Someone had gotten there first and stolen the water purification equipment!

Strangely, the extension direction of the footprints was not the stairwell they came from, but pointed to the wall deep in the purification room.

Wick walked towards the wall, raised his right leg, and kicked it.

The metal plates that made up the wall flew out one by one, falling into the space behind the wall.

After a while, a huge hole appeared in the wall, its width and height enough for the water purification equipment to pass through.

Obviously, someone had chiseled through the outer wall of the purification room, stole the water purification equipment, and finally made simple repairs to the wall with metal plates and nails.

Li Nuo stepped forward, turned on the flashlight, and checked the scene behind the wall.

A railway track appeared in front of him.

Li Nuo exclaimed in surprise, "Why is there a railway here? Could it be that this winery was originally a freight station?"

"Hey, kid, you guessed right, you're pretty smart. This freight railway was built thirty years ago and abandoned six years ago. The stations along the way were transformed into commercial real estate for sale. This winery was built on the site of the station. What do you think happened here?"

Li Nuo realized that Wick was testing his insight, just like Mona tested his combat power.

He came to the track and squatted down, squinted his eyes, stared at the scratches and slime on the track for a few seconds, and then cast Appraisal to test his conclusion.

Sure enough, as he had guessed, the slime on the track was the chemical sediment from the winery.

Combining the footprints in the purification room and the slime on the track, a group of people stole the water purification equipment and transported it westward by train.

Li Nuo told Wick his analysis.

The burly man with a face full of horizontal flesh showed a gratified smile:

"Li Nuo, your analysis is completely correct. These guys are very bold and very greedy. I have investigated three abandoned factories built near this railway in the past few days, and their water purification equipment has been stolen. Do you think these thieves might be related to our target? Should we investigate?"

Li Nuo pondered:

"I have too little information to make a judgment. We can try to investigate, maybe the stolen water purification equipment will eventually be bought by the Father. By the way, why was this railway abandoned?"

"Because the Seventh District became a ruin." Wick raised his hand and pointed to the west of the two:

"Going along this direction for about five kilometers will reach the ruins area. However, this road should not be passable. Not long after the Seventh District became a ruins area, the Enforcers blocked the railway crossing between the Seventh and Eighth Districts with concrete."

Li Nuo spread his fingers and felt the direction of the air flow.

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the air flow was blowing from the direction of the ruins area.

Wick noticed Li Nuo's actions, his eyes flashed slightly, "Do you want to try the direction of the wind with fire?"

Li Nuo nodded, "I was just thinking about doing that."

The two turned around and returned to the room, made a torch, and lit it.

Under their gaze, the flame was slightly skewed along the direction of the airflow, tilting away from the ruins area.

A steady airflow was blowing from the direction of the ruins area.

It can be seen that the crossing to the ruins area may not have been blocked by concrete.

Of course, there is another possibility, that there is a vent connecting to the outside in the direction of the ruins area.

Wick whistled and praised, "Not bad, kid. You are more careful than I thought, and you noticed that there was a problem with the wind direction at once. You are born to do this."

Li Nuo smiled modestly, "You flatter me, Wick. Actually, you noticed that the wind direction was wrong a long time ago, right?"

"Ha, that's natural. Let's go, let's go ahead and see what's going on, maybe we can catch the tails of those guys."
