I cultivate mushrooms in warhammer

Not a single human figure could be seen in the settlements near the grotto.

No blood, no corpses, no signs of fighting inside or outside the houses. The promethium lamps inside were lit, and the campfire was boiling water and heating canned food, with scattered food scraps around.

Everywhere there were traces of human life, but not a single living person could be seen.

Vehicle No. 3's vehicle-mounted radar released an invisible force field, quickly scanning the surrounding space.

A series of footprints were captured by the radar, and they were marked as dotted lines on everyone's holographic visors.

Li Nuo's sound array device was connected to the team's sound array, so he also received the scanning results from the radar.

Following the dotted lines, the footprints on the ground showed a certain pattern.

The number of people in the settlement exceeded ten thousand.

After hearing the broadcast, these people left their houses, came to the main road of the settlement, lined up in three columns, and entered the grotto in an orderly manner.

The footprints started from the settlement, extended to the entrance of the grotto, and disappeared into the dark depths of the grotto.

There had been a sandstorm here before, and the sandstorm had only subsided half an hour ago.

The footprints on the ground were relatively clear and not covered by sand, which indicated that the footprints were left after the sandstorm ended.

"Why isn't there anyone here?" Beijite asked.

Li Nuo thought for a moment and replied, "The people who usually live on both sides of the Howling Passage are illegal forces who have joined the Reconciliation Church. The Reconciliation Church may have gathered these people at its headquarters."

"Oh, that makes sense, that makes sense." Beijite called out to his teammates on the communication channel, "Vehicle No. 3, can you see the scene inside the grotto?"

"Captain, there is interference in the grotto. The scanning results are all garbled."

Garbled?… Li Nuo became alert and looked back at Vehicle No. 3, fearing that the garbled code they mentioned was the legendary Chaos Code.

Li Nuo was overthinking it. Vehicle No. 3 was safe and sound and showed no signs of abnormality.

Beijite drove the assault skimmer towards the settlement, "It doesn't matter if you can't scan it, as long as it's confirmed that this road can enter the Undercity."

Li Nuo reminded him on the communication channel:

"Everyone, the psychic effects of the Howling Passage are quite strange, so we'd better be careful and not get too close. If Young Master Osger is sure he wants to take this road, he must prepare anti-psychic devices in advance."

Beijite grinned, "You don't have to worry about that. The young master's Hunter set comes with an anti-psychic device that can easily crush Gamma-level psychics."

Seeing Beijite so confident, Li Nuo didn't say anything more.

The Imperial Medical Department has developed a classification system for psychics.

The top ones are Alpha+ level psychics, also known as super-psychics.

Below super-psychics, the psychic levels from high to low are Alpha-level, Beta-level, Gamma-level, Delta-level, etc.

An anti-psychic device that can fight against Gamma-level psychics is enough to crush more than 95% of psychics, which can be said to be half invincible.

When recalling this knowledge in his mind, Li Nuo suddenly realized that he seemed to have encountered a BUG.

According to this classification system, although he can use various "psychic powers," he will be classified as a Rho-level psychic, that is, an ordinary person, because he has no psychic response.

This is a bit outrageous…

While Li Nuo was thinking, the convoy circled the settlement and stopped at the entrance of the grotto.

Beijite ordered the people from Vehicle No. 2 and Vehicle No. 3 to set up a temporary stronghold.

Li Nuo carefully observed the inside and outside of the grotto, searching for possible pathogens.

There was no yellow-green liquid on the ground or walls, and the "body odor" of the Afflicted Father had not appeared.

This was good news.

A few minutes later, Beijite's voice sounded on the communication channel:

"You stay here to guard the stronghold. Kang Wen and I will go back to guide the young master. Before we come back, don't let anyone get close to here. Understood?"

"Yes, Captain."

Metal baffles and searchlights formed the walls of the temporary stronghold. Two anti-gravity armored vehicles were parked in the middle of the walls, and the personnel on the vehicles were on guard with guns on the roofs and behind the walls.

Their equipment was extremely sophisticated, including carapace armor, bolters, holographic helmets, breathing apparatus, and melta grenades.

Beijite waved to Li Nuo:

"Quick, get in the car. We have to hurry back. The young master will be coming to the Undercity in three hours."

Li Nuo got back into the assault skimmer.

With a buzz, the anti-gravity vehicle accelerated, and sand and dust billowed from both sides of the assault skimmer.

The figures of the two turned into tiny black dots, disappearing on the sandy horizon.

Time passed while waiting.

An hour later, the clearing operation began, and the Hunter team was authorized to enter the Undercity.

Two hours later, dozens of small black dots appeared on the horizon.

The guards watching the grotto took out their binoculars to look into the distance, marveling:

"Look, why are there so many armored vehicles?"

Li Nuo had also asked a similar question when he met Osger.

The people who appeared in the convoy included not only Osger and his armed retainers, but also the other four Hunter from the Voges family, as well as their armed retainers and the governor's agents who accompanied them.

Wasn't it said that they were just guiding Osger?

Why did the other four Hunter also come?

This was the shrewdness of Osger and his father.

Osger belonged to the Jiaming branch of the Voges family.

The reason why this branch's bloodline has continued to this day is not by fighting for power with the direct line, but by their clear understanding of themselves.

They knew that they didn't have the ability to become governor, so they simply served the direct line of the Voges family wholeheartedly.

Since about a hundred years ago, the Jiaming line has occupied a seat in the governor's cabinet.

When Osger waits until his father retires, he will become the new cabinet minister.

The current governor had a daughter late in life, and only has one direct descendant, that is, Tido Voges.

In a few years or decades, Tido will most likely become Osger's governor.

In addition, the Osger family has carefully calculated that there are four generations between Osger and Tido.

The Hive prohibits marriage between direct blood relatives or branch blood relatives within three generations.

Osger and Tido are four generations apart, which meets the requirements for marriage.

The ages of the two are very close, and there is no so-called generation gap, which undoubtedly provides a valuable opportunity for marriage.

Once successful, the middle name Jiaming can become the surname of the Hive Governor.

Therefore, as soon as Osger got the information about Li Nuo, he shared it with Tido.

In order to win people's hearts, Tido shared the information with the other three Hunter.

In this way, the five Hunter temporarily formed a group, first took the fruits of victory, and then distributed the harvest according to the proportion discussed by the elders in the family.

Li Nuo did not comment on this, as long as the nobles are happy.

Sending an intelligence back and forth, turning it into four favors, this is really something.

As for the nonsense that the Jiaming lineage serves the direct line wholeheartedly, hehe, this kind of talk is only used to deceive the direct members of the Voges family, don't try to fool this transmigrator.

There are Chaos enemies in this world.

Even Horus, the good baby in the eyes of the Emperor, was deceived by Chaos, let alone profit-obsessed nobles.

The convoy stopped near the entrance of the grotto.

The armed retainers got out of the vehicles first.

This group of people wore carapace armor, wielded bolters, and wore holographic helmets, goggles, and breathing masks. Their shapes were uniform, and they were distinguished by armbands and identification codes.

Each of the five Hunter brought a hundred armed retainers, as well as several governor's agents.

The appearance of nearly six hundred people added a bit of popularity to the deserted settlement.

The armed retainers dispersed and scanned the settlement with various handheld instruments.

After confirming that there were no enemies, pathogens, or traps nearby, the five Hunter got out of their respective vehicles.

The male Hunter's equipment was very similar to "Doctor Octopus" in the "Spider-Man" series of movies.

Four powerful mechanical arms extended from the mechanical backpack on their backs.

The mechanical arms could be freely extended and shortened, and each hand was equipped with weapons or shields, which could be controlled only by intracranial implants.

The sensing array in the helmet helped the wearer automatically lock on to enemies, automatically fire, and automatically use mechanical arms for close combat and to resist attacks.

The wearer could leave all the offense and defense to the mechanical hands, and only needed to output trash talk during the battle.

The armor protecting the torso and limbs was suspected to be made of ceramite and adamantium. It was thick, solid, and simple in shape, like medieval knight's heavy armor, and driven by built-in electronic muscle bundles and fusion battery packs.

According to Beijite, this Hunter armament is the strongest of all known Hunter equipment, and its name is "Patriarch."

The armor worn by the only female Hunter on the scene was called "Matriarch."

This Hunter armor only had three mechanical arms, and its combat power was slightly weaker, but it was equipped with various stealth devices, which could achieve an almost perfect invisible state.

In addition, Li Nuo saw something familiar on the arms of these five Hunter—"mirror shield" devices.

Different from his own "mirror shield" which was a replica, the "mirror shields" of the five Hunter were all genuine.

The genuine "mirror shield" can not only resist energy attacks, but also absorb and store energy, and then release it through weapons to enhance the killing effect.

To sum it up in one sentence, strong, invincible.

Those who wear such a Hunter's Armament can even AFK in battle, the Hunter's Armament will handle everything on its own.

"Cowen, come over." Augusge called out to Lino in the communication channel.

Lino took steady steps towards the five Hunters, bent his right leg, touched the ground with his left knee, leaned his upper body slightly forward, and lowered his head, performing a standard etiquette bow:

"Miss, Young Master, Cowen is here to report."

Augusge pointed at Lino, turned sideways, and said to the Hunters beside him:

"This is Cowen who provided me with the route map… Cowen, stand up, I have something to ask you."

Lino stood up, his height almost the same as the five Hunters, his eyes meeting the female Hunter, Tido Voges.

Tido's face was delicate and petite, her lips were pink, and her nose and eyes were hidden behind black goggles.

Even though her whole body was wrapped in heavy armor, only revealing the lower half of her face inside the helmet, she was enough to make the men who saw her feel their hearts sway.

Lino glanced briefly and then looked back at his current employer.

Augusge had sanpaku eyes, thin lips, and under the transparent tea-colored goggles were shrewd eyes, as if constantly flashing with calculations.

The latest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

"Cowen, how much do you know about the Bottom Nest?" Augusge asked with the dignified tone of a young master.

Lino lowered his head slightly, "Sorry, Young Master, I lack understanding of the Bottom Nest."

"Hmm." Augusge hummed softly:

"Then let's do this, call a few agents and go to the Bottom Nest to investigate. Miss Tido will wait here for your good news."

"Yes, Miss, Young Master. I will gather manpower immediately." Lino replied without changing his expression.

Augusge waved his hand:

"Go and come back quickly, don't keep Miss Tido waiting too long."

Lino excused himself and called Talenso, Week, and Mona in the communication channel.

The other three were assigned to different Hunters.

After inquiring with their respective employers, the three came to the entrance of the cave to meet with Lino, and together they stepped into the darkness.

The night vision module of the holographic goggles automatically turned on, and dense footprints appeared in the field of vision.

Talenso nudged Lino with his elbow and asked:

"After you gave the route map to Augusge, did he give you any reward?"

Week was very curious about this question and pricked up his ears to listen.

Lino sighed softly in the internal communication channel:

"Alas, don't mention it. Augusge only gave me 100,000 credit points as a down payment, and the rest will be given after the cleanup operation is over."

"Damn, only 100,000 as a down payment." Talenso exclaimed.

Week laughed loudly:

"I knew it, with Augusge's nature, he would only pay up to 200,000, not a penny more. I didn't expect him to be even stingier than I thought, only giving 100,000. You lost the bet, Talenso, pay up."

"Damn it, Augusge's stinginess is really beyond my imagination." Talenso fiddled with the data panel, "Week, there's no signal here, I'll give it to you when we get back to the Eighth District."

"Okay, okay, just remember it yourself." Week grinned from ear to ear.

These two actually bet on me, no wonder they asked me how much money I got… Lino rolled his eyes at the two.

Mona shook her head helplessly, not knowing whether she was secretly complaining about Week and Talenso's bet or lamenting Augusge's stinginess.

"Tzzzt— — — —"

A faint noise flashed through the channel.

The four of them became serious at the same time and carefully checked the data collected by the sensors.

The psionic reading increased slightly, the air flowed outward from the depths of the cave, the pollution level was moderate, the probability of causing disease was high, and there was also slight radiation.

Far, far below, there was an intermittent signal source, possibly emitted by some kind of signal repeater.

After advancing for about a minute, the four saw the legendary Howling Passage.

This passage was about three kilometers long and extended downwards in a spiral shape.

Several flares were fired, and the light conditions in the holographic field of vision were greatly improved, making the human faces protruding from the walls even more eerie.

The light of the flares flickered slightly, outlining shadows on the human faces.

The human faces were in a static state, with different expressions, some sad, some happy, some desperate, some painful, some hideous.

The gloomy atmosphere grew rapidly with the changing light and shadow, and an invisible rhythm disturbed the air, and layers of murmuring whispers appeared in the ears of the three.

The illusion created by the Howling Passage appeared.

The whispers lingering in their ears caused different degrees of reaction among the four.

Week shivered a few times as if he was frightened, stroked his arms, and gasped, "Hiss, this ghostly place is giving me goosebumps."

The sound of liquid being pumped into Talenso's body came from within, and he shook his head and wagged his head, showing off:

"I feel much better after injecting sedative tadine. Do you want some? I still have some here."

"Keep those drugs for yourself." Week pressed something on his wrist armor, and a puffing sound came from inside the armor.

Three seconds later, his voice became exceptionally calm, as if he had entered a sage's moment, "I'm fine. Cowen, Mona, don't stand there, quickly inject anti-psychotic drugs."

Mona replied faintly, "I've already injected it."

Week shrugged, "Oh, okay. You're no different before and after the injection, so I thought you forgot."

"I have a question." Lino asked thoughtfully, "Is the hallucination you hear very noisy?"

Under the effect of the drug, Week became a poker face and nodded in response:

"Yes, it's very noisy, almost like a midnight bar."

Talenso said, "I feel better than Week. The sound of the hallucination is probably fifty or sixty decibels."

Mona nodded, "My situation is similar to Talenso's."

Lino realized what the problem was.

The murmuring he heard was very faint, similar to when he was digging for ghost mushrooms in the Kramm Cigarette Factory.

If a number were used to measure it, it would be about ten or twenty decibels, equivalent to the sound of turning a book.

This hallucinatory sound created by mind-based psionic energy was so faint that Lino suspected that he could pass through this passage without drugs.

Interesting, could this ability to resist hallucinations also be a cheat after my transmigration?

Lino thought for a while, and for the sake of caution, he gave himself an injection.

The drug took effect quickly, his thinking became sluggish, and emotional fluctuations were smoothed out by an invisible palm.

The four formed a formation of two in front and two in back, and stepped into the passage full of human faces.

"Da, da, da— — — —"

The footsteps were unhurried, the air was eerily quiet, and the surrounding human faces seemed to come alive under the changing light and shadow, their mouths slowly opening and closing, and their pupils seemed to be moving with the figures of the four.

"Those faces seem to be looking at us." Week whispered in the internal channel.

Talenso sneered:

"Tch~ Are you scared, Week? My sensor shows that the position information of the human faces hasn't changed. If you're afraid, just don't look at them."

Lino asked:

"Have you looked closely at the murals here? I feel like these aren't human faces."

None of the four were cowardly rats.

Hearing what Lino said, the team immediately slowed down and moved closer to the wall on the left.

The patterns on the wall became clearer.

The four couldn't help but widen their eyes.

If the drug hadn't been working, they would probably have screamed at this moment.

"Oh my god, these really aren't human faces." Talenso's bionic eye buzzed and analyzed the wall:

"It seems to be a pattern of some kind of insect or plant. I can't find the corresponding information in the database."

Week stretched out his right hand, his fingertips moving along the pattern on the wall, and pointed to the end of the passage:

"Look. The patterns on the wall are connected together and can extend all the way down."

Lino had another idea in his mind, but he didn't say it immediately.

He felt that these patterns were both a whole and could be separated into countless individuals.

Before the transmigration, there was a game called Snake.

The patterns on the wall were very similar to an incredibly long Snake.

Each section of this "snake" could be separated to form a short "snake".

Combining the short "snakes" together would form a super-long "snake" that ran across the entire wall.

Obviously, the content on the wall had some kind of connotation.

Considering that this was the Warhammer world, the origin of the murals was nothing more than those few.

Lino cast Appraisal Technique to take a look.

Just as he expected, this painting was not simple, it was actually a work left by an alien civilization.

【Name: Work of an Alien Civilization】

【Description:】

【A certain alien civilization once took root here. They created their own culture. This corridor may have special significance in the civilization. The patterns on the corridor walls may contain important clues you want to know.】
