I cultivate mushrooms in warhammer

The Promethium Refinery was located at the southernmost edge of the Eighth District, close to the lower hive's southern outer wall.

The hive city's outer walls were both its "skin" and its defensive layer.

Its surface was riddled with shafts—vertical ones were called wells, horizontal ones were called passages.

Some shafts were travel tunnels, railway tracks, and vertical shafts, while others belonged to complex and vast ventilation, lighting, rainwater collection, and energy systems.

The outer walls also housed many tunnel stations, military fortresses, and buildings belonging to the Planetary Defense Force, which together with the shafts formed the outermost defensive layer of the hive city.

The energy pipelines that transported promethium from the outside world into the hive city were a key protected target.

Outside the hive city, on the desolate wasteland, blinding sandstorms blew day and night.

Mining stations were built underground, avoiding the sandstorms, but were shrouded in darkness and oppression all day long.

Natural promethium ore was extracted by mining machines, heated, and transformed into liquid, flowing from the energy pipelines to the hive city's refinery.

Approaching the refinery, anyone could see the towering walls like cliffs.

That was the hive city's outer wall.

It stood at the southernmost edge of the Eighth District, shielding the lower hive residents from the outside sandstorms, while also trapping countless generations within a steel cage.

At the foot of this towering wall, the refinery was so small.

Even its tallest chimney was as inconspicuous as a baby standing next to a giant.

"Vick, do you think if the refinery exploded, it could blast through the outer wall of the lower hive?"

"Blast through? You're thinking too much. The explosion that turned the Seventh District into ruins couldn't blast through the outer wall, let alone a refinery."

One kilometer away from the refinery, in a small alley, Li Nuo and Vick arrived via maglev train.

The two chatted idly while waiting for other agents.

A few minutes later, a communication signal connected to Vick's datapad.

Mona's voice came from the speaker:

"Vick, we've brought the vehicle. Come and meet us here."

"Okay, Kang Wen and I will be right there."

Vick waved, signaling Li Nuo to follow.

The two left the alley and hurried onto the main road.

In another alley not far away, a van was parked.

The appearance of the van was no different from ordinary vehicles, and the carriage was painted with the logo of a transportation company.

Overall, this van couldn't be more ordinary.

That was assuming you ignored the servitor in the driver's seat.

Which lower hive company would specially arrange a servitor for a van? That would be too wasteful, wouldn't it be better to have him tighten screws?

Li Nuo glanced at the driver's seat when passing by, silently complaining in his heart:

"As expected of the Governor's agents, they even use servitors as drivers when they're out."

As soon as he finished complaining in his heart, the "servitor" in the driver's seat suddenly tilted his head, rolled his two bionic eyes upwards, and gave Li Nuo a big eye roll.

"Hey, newbie, I'm not a servitor."

"Holy crap." Li Nuo was startled by the "servitor" who suddenly spoke.

Vick laughed heartily, unable to catch his breath.

It seemed he had been holding it in for this moment.

Li Nuo swallowed and asked, "You… you're not a servitor?"

"Of course not, have you ever seen a servitor with such a fashionable hairstyle?" The person in the driver's seat opened the door, jumped down, and stood in front of Li Nuo.

He had a standard mohawk, thick black eyeshadow, purplish-black lipstick, a triangular goatee, and several facial scars that looked like stitches.

What was noteworthy was his "hair."

It wasn't hair in the traditional sense, but rather colorful cables.

The cables extended from the base of his skull and connected to the backpack on his back, with signal points similar to star spots traversing within the cables.

Li Nuo had mistaken this person for a servitor because of his two bionic eyes and the cables on his head.

When the other party jumped out of the driver's seat, Li Nuo realized he was wrong, and very wrong.

The person in front of him had undergone an extremely high degree of mechanical modification, far beyond what an ordinary servitor could achieve.

Let's just say, wherever Li Nuo could see, this person had undergone mechanical modification, with metal shells or cables all over his body, leaving only skin on his neck and head.

"How is it, cool or what? Flesh is weak, machine endures, buddy."

The "servitor" bumped fists with Vick, then extended his fist towards Li Nuo:

"I'm Tarento. That guy Vick is full of bad ideas, he definitely didn't introduce me to you, he just likes seeing people mistake me for a servitor."

Li Nuo grasped his fist and bumped it against Tarento's, "Hello, I'm Kang Wen. Sorry I misjudged you earlier."

"It's okay, I'm used to it. Enough small talk, let's go to the carriage, we've been waiting for you two."

Tarento snapped his fingers towards the alley entrance, and a wall rose up from under the paving stones, sealing the alley entrance.

He then gestured with a finger towards the van's carriage.

The latest and most complete novels are available on 69shu ba, first edition!

The side of the carriage slid open, revealing an entrance.

The three stepped inside.

Inside the carriage, shelves placed close to the walls were filled with brand-new firearms and protective gear, as well as many portable instruments.

In the center of the carriage, everyone stood in a circle around a holographic device.

The figure displayed in the holographic screen was none other than Delton, the agents' superior.

"Vick, Kang Wen, come over here. Let's get down to business first."

Li Nuo nodded to several agents he was meeting for the first time, and followed Vick to stand next to the holographic projection.

Delton projected a holographic map of the refinery in front of everyone and said:

"The investigation warrant for Princeton has been issued by the Governor. You can check it on your datapads. Now, let me introduce today's plan to you."

"First, we need to determine the target's location. With the Governor's authorization, Father Tuthmosis reviewed the communication data from the refinery and surrounding areas, and the results were not ideal."

A red-marked area appeared on the holographic map.

"Princeton has encrypted his own sound array device. We cannot pinpoint his exact location in real-time, we can only determine that he is within the area of the red zone. As you can see, it is already late at night, but Princeton is still wandering around the newly built factory building, his activity area includes the new factory's desalination area, distillation area, conversion area, and refining area—these four areas."

"I will divide you all into four groups, each group corresponding to one area. Enforcers will seal off the factory area after you enter the factory, preventing personnel from entering or leaving."

"Vick, Tarento, you two have the most experience, and are responsible for searching the most dangerous conversion area. Remember to use the portable augury scanner to monitor for octane gas leaks at all times, and don't give the target a chance to detonate the refinery."

"Levi, Cardot, you are responsible for the distillation area, remember to wear fireproof and anti-static protective gear."

"Gerald, Craig, you are going to the refining area. Before departure, be sure to wear a full set of Level IV anti-toxic protective gear."

"Kang Wen and Mona, your target location is the desalination area. The risk factor there is the lowest, and you only need to wear Level III personal protective equipment."

Delton paused for a few seconds, his gaze swept over each agent, and a solemn expression appeared in his eyes:

"I don't need to overemphasize the dangers of the Pylons, I believe you all know it in your hearts. If, during the search process, you discover clues that Princeton is a Pylon, I hope you will try to seize the initiative as much as possible to prevent Princeton from suddenly attacking."

"If Princeton shows signs of wanting to die together with us, I authorize you to retreat."

"On the one hand, I cherish your lives and don't want to see you die here. On the other hand, compared to letting the refinery turn into a sea of fire, letting go of a Pylon is not much of a loss. There are still more than half a month left before the mission deadline set by the Governor, and we have plenty of time to find new clues and capture another Pylon alive."

Delton crossed his hands in front of his chest, performing the Aquila salute:

"Finally, I wish you all a triumphant return tonight. Glory to Lord Faughes and the Great Emperor."

Everyone returned the salute with the Aquila salute.

The atmosphere at the scene was solemn and somber.
