I cultivate mushrooms in warhammer

A few minutes later, inside the engine car.

Wick used ropes to secure the gang member to the chair, casually delivered a slap, and used physical means to wake the unconscious captive.

"Smack!"

A bright red handprint appeared on his face, and the gang member woke up with a start, shouting in terror:

"Help! Help! What do you want?! The Waterside Gang won't let you get away with this!"

"Won't let us my ass, shut your trap!" Wick delivered two more slaps, making the captive dizzy.

He rummaged in his pocket, took out a glass tube with a needle, and pierced it into the captive's neck.

Li Nuo aimed his Appraisal skill at the liquid in the glass tube and inwardly exclaimed how amazing it was.

This was a special truth serum.

A subcutaneous injection of just 10 milligrams would make an average adult reveal everything they knew.

Once all the liquid entered his body, the gang member's eyes became dazed, and his body quickly went limp.

Wick turned his head and said:

"Go to the carriages in the back and check the goods on the train. It'd be best if you could find a manifest and a data slate. I'll interrogate him for information."

"Okay, I'll go now."

Li Nuo turned and left.

The gang member emitted dreamlike murmurs, giving Li Nuo a clear understanding of the Governor's special agent's methods.

For the sake of efficiency and accuracy, using unconventional means against outlaws not protected by Hive laws was both an option and a priority for the Governor's special agents.

Li Nuo pushed open the iron door of the first carriage, turned on his flashlight, and searched carefully.

At this time, the effect of the Appraisal skill was fully utilized.

Everything visible to the naked eye was scanned by Li Nuo with the Appraisal skill.

As a result, those inconspicuous and easily overlooked details had nowhere to hide.

【Name: Metal bucket containing purified water】

【Description: The metal bucket has rust and bacteria residue, so the purified water in the bucket is not so pure.】

【Name: Hand-pressed energy block】

【Description: A compressed food made of synthetic starch, orange sugar, and unknown substances. The unknown substances seem to have a strange effect.】

Strange effect?

What effect?

Li Nuo took a box of energy blocks from a crate, opened the outer packaging, and picked out a thumb-sized white block.

After crushing the energy block with the hilt of his dagger, a familiar halo appeared before his eyes.

Li Nuo was stunned, rubbed his eyes, and focused on observing the filling of the energy block.

The filling was powdery, scattering a blue-purple light.

After being exposed to the air for a few seconds, the filling turned into a wisp of smoke of the same color and dissipated.

The smoke was diluted by the air, and the color quickly changed from blue-purple to transparent.

Li Nuo used the Appraisal skill before the smoke completely disappeared.

【Name: Concentrated Essence of Ghost Fungus (Gaseous)】

【Description: Concentrated essence of ghost fungus made by hand. At normal temperature and pressure, it will quickly volatilize after contacting the air.】

Huh?

Concentrated essence of ghost fungus!

Li Nuo opened all the crates in the three carriages, his heart racing.

A total of thirty crates were piled up in the three carriages, and the boxes were full of handmade energy blocks.

Li Nuo quickly appraised the energy blocks using random sampling and came to the conclusion:

All the energy blocks had concentrated essence of ghost fungus added!

"It seems Wick and I have caught a big fish. But isn't the Waterside Gang supposed to be selling water? How did they start transporting energy blocks? And who are the recipients of these energy blocks?"

Li Nuo muttered to himself, rummaging back and forth in the carriage, but found no cargo manifests, orders, data slates, or anything like that.

The gang members killed by Wick didn't have anything similar on them either.

The breakthrough point lay with the only living person.

Li Nuo returned to the engine car.

Wick was recording the information confessed by the gang member on the data slate.

Seeing Li Nuo looking serious, he quickly asked:

"What's wrong? Did you find anything surprising in the carriages?"

"Yes, and a lot. I found thirty boxes of energy blocks suspected of containing ghost mushroom ingredients."

Wick's body shook, "Are you sure the energy blocks have ghost mushroom ingredients?"

Li Nuo knew he couldn't be too certain, so he replied:

"I'm six or seven percent sure. You'd better go take a look; I'm worried I might be mistaken."

Wick stood up, took a deep breath, handed the data slate to Li Nuo, and walked towards the back of the carriage:

"You watch this guy here, I'll go check it out in the back. I have a feeling we might have caught the main culprit this time."

Li Nuo lowered his head and read the information on the data slate.

"Q: What are the goods the Waterside Gang is transporting this time? Are there any contraband items?"

"A: The goods are purified water and energy blocks. Contraband items have been added to the energy blocks; they are free samples for the recipients to try."

"Q: Do the recipients know there are contraband items in the energy blocks?"

"A: They know."

"Q: What contraband items did you add?"

"A: I don't know."

The newest novels are at 69shuba!

"Q: Besides the Long Boots Tavern, who are the other recipients?"

"A: The Sloan family's food factory, the Mauros family's promethium refinery, and the Habashik family's clothing factory."

"Q: Where did the Waterside Gang learn that the Ogas family's abandoned distillery had water purification equipment?"

"A: I don't know; the boss didn't tell us."

"Q: Who is your boss? What is his background?"

"A: Our boss's nickname is 'One-Eye'; his real name is unknown. He is a native of the Ruins Zone."

"Q: What is the relationship between the Waterside Gang and the Reconciliation Church?"

"A: We have a good relationship with the Reconciliation Church. Most of the purified water produced by the gang is sent to the Underhive to the Reconciliation Church in exchange for weapons, ammunition, and medicine."

Wait a minute.

Using purified water to exchange for weapons, ammunition, and medicine with the Reconciliation Church?

Does the Underhive have the production conditions for this?

Li Nuo calmed his mind and continued to read.

"Q: Why does the Reconciliation Church have so many weapons, ammunition, and medicine?"

"A: I don't know the specifics. But I recently heard that the Reconciliation Church dug through the foundation of the Underhive a few years ago and discovered a huge treasure trove in a very, very deep place. Their supplies come from there."

The questions and answers ended here.

Without much thought, one could infer that the biochemical modification technology in the hands of the Reconciliation Church most likely came from the treasure trove below the Underhive.

Wick entered the engine car, his face grim.

Li Nuo returned the data slate and asked, "Do you want to continue interrogating this guy?"

Wick waved his hand:

"No, this guy is just a low-level gang member. I keep asking, but he only knows this much. Can you operate a steam engine car? Probably not, right?"

Li Nuo nodded, "I really can't."

Wick touched the top of his head, his brow furrowed:

"This is troublesome. I can't operate this old antique either. The most important thing now is to find the recipients and control them. But there are Upper Hive nobles behind the recipients, and it might intensify the conflict if we're not careful. Forget it, let's call for backup and let Director Delton worry about it."

Wick came to the control panel of the engine car and stood with his hands on his hips.

Looking at the retro-style wooden levers and mechanical buttons, Wick had a pained expression:

"After getting the gang member's confession and then looking at this engine car, I really have a feeling of being screwed. At first, I thought this was a modern replica. But combined with the confession, I realized my judgment was wrong. This steam engine car probably came from the treasure trove below the Underhive!

"I bet that if the oil freaks on Mars knew that we dug up this level of antique here, the Reconciliation Church in the Underhive would be wiped out by the Protectorate Army in just one night.

"Are the brains of those idiots in the Waterside Gang full of crap? How dare they drive this thing out."

Li Nuo agreed, nodding repeatedly, with an expression that said, "I think so too."

Before getting on the train, he appraised the steam engine car.

It was something that had undergone many repairs and renovations.

Most of its parts were produced during the current Great Expedition era, but there were indeed a few small parts whose appraisal results showed the words 'thousands of years old antique'.

It wouldn't be surprising if the oil freaks smelled the scent and came to interfere.

Now it depends on how the Governor negotiates with Mars.
