I cultivate mushrooms in warhammer

Waving his hand to disperse the pungent smell of ammonia, Li Nuo walked towards the door of the VIP room in contemplation, intending to take a look at other parts of the ship.

The commercial spy he had just taken care of was clearly in the early stages of infection.

There were two reasons for this.

First, the Bone Drinker must completely consume the spinal cord in the host's tailbone before it can completely control the host's body.

This process lasts 24 Terra hours and is defined as the early stage of infection.

Second, after more than 24 hours of parasitism, the infected person will be completely controlled by the Bone Drinker and become a host manipulated by the Bone Drinker, which is the middle stage of infection.

After entering the middle stage, the host will not exhibit scratching motions on their back.

They can still feel the pain coming from their bones, but under the control of the Bone Drinker, all actions related to "back pain" will be erased and will never appear in front of outsiders.

At most, a slight, imperceptible pain will flash across their face.

Based on these judgments, Li Nuo was 90% certain that the spy's infection by the Bone Drinker occurred within the past 24 hours.

Logically, Li Nuo suspected that a crew member had infected the spy.

However, the scene he saw upon leaving the VIP room made him question his analysis and judgment.

On the way from the VIP room to the bridge, hundreds or thousands of unarmed sailor corpses were scattered in the corridor.

This ship was not an armed freighter; it was just an ordinary transport ship.

It had no lance batteries, macrocannons, armories, astropathic relays, or Tech-Priests to maintain the engines, only cargo holds, cargo, the bridge, ordinary sailors, the power room, and a Navigator.

In the eyes of the Eldar, humans were just a bunch of monkeys who could sail ships.

Eldar pirates slaughtered the crew on the ship with almost overwhelming force.

The sailors' throats were cut open by the Eldar chainswords, the wounds were bloody and gruesome, and the scarlet bloodstains covered the corridor, like a living hell.

Security personnel holding guns and wearing plasteel armor were brutally executed, their heads separated from their bodies, and their limbs arranged into various blasphemous shapes.

Perhaps because his current body was an Ork, lacking the hormonal regulation and psychological feedback of a human body, Li Nuo appeared more calm than he had expected when he saw the scene before him.

He found the coat of arms of the Binnis family on the crew members, the wealthiest merchant family in Hive-Epi-Mette, holding two-thirds of the seats in the Coin Guild.

The commercial spy from before should have been arranged by the Binnis family.

But strangely, why were the sailors on the same ship showing no signs of infection?

Who infected the spy with the Bone Drinker?

Li Nuo entered the bridge with this question, intending to find the answer in the navigation log.

He was destined to be disappointed.

The bridge's navigation computer had been destroyed, the sound array, fire control array, Geller field, monitoring pipelines, and the power nexus connecting to the power room were all destroyed.

The captain, who also served as the helmsman, was hung on the ship's wheel, the spokes of the wheel protruding from his mouth, his expression frozen in the moment before death, terrified.

There were no survivors, only death.

The clues to track the Bone Drinker's infection path were thus cut off.

Li Nuo had to admit that he had made a mistake.

He had been somewhat reckless in dealing with the commercial spy and should not have killed him so decisively.

If it had been Wick or Mona, those old foxes, they would most likely have used various means to force the commercial spy to tell the truth, and then carry out harmless disposal.

Now, everyone on the ship might be dead, the Bone Drinker's infection path had become a mystery, and he didn't know when he would see a living Bone Drinker body again.

Li Nuo shook his head helplessly, preparing to find some spoils at random to carry with him, and take advantage of the effort of carrying the spoils to return to the Ork ship and explore mechanical witchcraft.

Just as he was about to walk out of the bridge, rustling footsteps came from the corridor outside the door, the number of people should be between 5 and 10.

Along with the footsteps came the Eldar pirates' Eldar language and human cries for help.

"Help! Is there anyone else on the ship? Help me!"

"Dathach! Lachuir!"

Eldar language was obscure and difficult to understand, and Li Nuo didn't understand it, but it didn't sound like anything good.

"Smack!" The human who shouted for help was slapped, making an even more miserable scream:

"Help! Cough cough cough! Help! Can anyone help me!"

Li Nuo's heart moved, activating the fungal ability - Optical Invisibility, and hiding behind the bridge's navigation computer.

Eight Eldar pirates stepped onto the bridge, four of whom were jointly carrying a young male human with three eyes.

This human was wearing a scholar-style simple robe, with clear palm prints remaining on his face, and half of his face was swollen into a ball.

The third eye in the center of his forehead declared his identity.

Navigator, a type of mutant recognized by the Imperium.

Their gene fragments had undergone a benign mutation, allowing them to gain a third eye—the Warp Eye.

This eye has a unique psychic effect.

When the Navigator opens his third eye, he can see the psychic light of the Astronomican in the Warp, and then use the light of the Astronomican as a guide to help ships navigate within the Warp.

Apart from this psychic ability to guide Warp navigation, Navigators generally do not have other abilities.

The Eldar pirates threw the corpse of the captain on the ship's wheel away and threw the Navigator to the ground in front of the ship's wheel with a bang.

A total of 8 Eldar pirates stood in a circle around the ship's wheel, surrounding the Navigator in the middle.

They drew their chainswords, cut their palms, and blood fell to the ground.

The Eldar pirates moved along the ring, drawing arcs on the ground with blood lines.

The blood of the 8 Eldar pirates formed a scarlet circle.

The atmosphere became somewhat strange.

The Eldar pirates stopped, held their swords in both hands, placed the sword body vertically in front of them, retracted their chins slightly, and pressed their foreheads against the sword body.

The low tone rose and fell like a tide, and the psychic fluctuations gradually became intense.

"Ar Gwaed Gwaew, Gin ni annogir gwaed a chig o’r Nodwyr fel gwobr a thaliant…"

The Navigator's body twitched, forcibly pressed in place by an invisible force.

His third eye suddenly opened, as if he saw something terrifying in the Warp, and tears flowed from his eyes.

"Help… save… me!"

The Navigator shouted hoarsely, and suddenly his throat was choked, unable to make a sound, and the blue veins on his face bulged.

Li Nuo hid in the dark, his heart beating rapidly.

As a Cloud Hammer, if he still didn't understand what the Eldar pirates were doing, then he would have wasted his time on short videos.

Brain Jamming, activate, activate, activate!

A series of Brain Jammings were thrown out, Li Nuo didn't bother to check the results, and directly picked up the lumber gun and fired wildly.

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang — — — — — —"

The gunfire suddenly exploded, and the Eldar pirates were caught off guard and had no time to react.

Half of the Eldar pirates were frozen by Brain Jamming, becoming living targets without any resistance.

Li Nuo's body surged with the shooting instinct of a governor's agent, trying to control the landing point of each bullet, the lumber gun burst out a barrage, blasting all these silly pirates in the head.

Psychic shields appeared around the other half of the Eldar pirates, and the bullets hit them, stirring up dense ripples.

"Gwae! Sut mae’rchwi Cochionyn fan hyn?!"

The leading Eldar pirate exclaimed, the chainsword in his hand drew a sword flower, and he stepped hard on the ground, bursting over.

Li Nuo shouted in Low Gothic:

"Close your eyes! Face the ground!"

The twin-linked lumber gun turned its muzzle and sprayed a barrage at the oncoming Eldar pirate, barely slowing down the opponent's pace and buying time for the Navigator to react.

The Navigator had no time to check the source of the Low Gothic, and hurriedly covered his face and faced the ground.

Infrared Blindness, activate!

Light Art, 5 million lux, activate!

In an instant, the space seemed to be torn apart by an invisible big hand, and unparalleled white light burst out from the cracks in the space, piercing into the eyes of every Eldar pirate, like sharp blades!

"Puff puff puff — — — —"

The crisp sound of eyeballs bursting into strings, and blood spurted wildly from the eye sockets.

Li Nuo's eyes disappeared, and his eye area became a whole piece of eyelid, unaffected by the strong light.

Not only that, the fungal ability - Infrared Blindness helped him mark the infrared sources of the Eldar pirates.

The gun line followed the movement of the infrared source, the bullet tore open the pirate's fragile armor, broke into the body, and the powerful impact force sent the infrared source flying out.

"Click— —"

A crisp sound came from the chamber, indicating that the ammunition was exhausted.

Only one Eldar pirate survived the violent sneak attack.

It heard this crisp sound, knew that its chance to counterattack had come, and immediately launched a charge in the direction of the sound.

"Marw! Cochionyn!"

Vicious curses and sharp blades roared.

It just didn't seem to like firearms, it seemed to prefer short weapons, and never once picked up the human firearms on the ground to fight back.

Li Nuo changed the magazine and fired the double-barreled logging gun with one hand while resting it on the navigation computer.

He multi-tasked, using his other hand to constantly push forward, holding back the approaching pirates.

The psychic shield shook violently, showing faint signs of cracking.

The Eldar pirate cursed in Eldar, turned around and fled the battlefield.

It couldn't see and stumbled as it ran, crashing into the wall before it could escape the barrage.

At that moment, the psychic shield protecting it shattered in the hail of bullets.

Bullets pierced its back and the back of its head, and blood bloomed.

"Thump."

The last Eldar pirate fell to the ground and breathed its last, becoming a corpse with lingering warmth.

Li Nuo put down the double-barreled logging gun in his hand, took a long breath, dispersed the white light filling the bridge, and deactivated infrared blindsight.

The light returned to normal, the echo of gunfire dissipated, and the smell of blood and gunpowder drifted everywhere.

The Navigator lay prostrate on the ground, trembling as he turned his body to the side.

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

When that green representing the Orcs entered his field of vision, a storm surged in his heart.

"My Emperor! Do you see that?! It was an Orc who saved me!!"

"Quiet."

Li Nuo flipped over the navigation computer and walked towards the Navigator with heavy steps.

Now that things had come to this, he didn't plan to pretend anymore.

He would ask the questions he needed to ask first, and then consider how to explain the fact that he, an Orc, had saved a human.

"Time is short, I ask, you answer."

Li Nuo picked up the Navigator from the ground, stared into his eyes and asked:

"There is a secret door in the VIP room, and inside the door is a commercial spy dressed as a wealthy merchant. Was this person arranged by the Pennis family of Aepimite?"

After escaping the crisis of life and death, the Navigator regained some ability to think while panting violently, his voice trembling slightly:

"Yes, yes, yes. The commercial spy was brought on board by young master Harkas of the Pennis family just before the freighter was about to set sail."

"Besides Harkas, who else did the commercial spy have contact with?"

The Navigator swallowed, suppressed his pounding heart, and thought for a moment before replying:

"The commercial spy should have also met with the apothecary of the Pennis family. They performed surgery on the commercial spy in the secret door of the VIP room, implanting something like a locator."

Li Nuo's heart stirred slightly.

Locator?

Is there such a thing on the corpse?

Oh, well, it seems to have been dissolved by the corpse dissolving technique.

Corpse dissolving technique, how terrifying.

"Who else did the commercial spy have contact with? Have you had any contact with him?"

Li Nuo observed the Navigator's behavior while asking questions.

The Navigator was unnerved by the Orc's gaze and could only grit his teeth and repeat all the people who might have come into contact with the commercial spy.

The people he mentioned were either crew members who had already died or the Pennis family convoy that sent the commercial spy to the ship.

The Navigator himself had not been in contact with the spy.

In general, there were many people suspected of transmitting the Bonesnatcher to the commercial spy, and most of them were related to Aepimite.

If any of them were parasitized by the Bonesnatcher, it could lead to the destruction of the entire Aepimite.

Li Nuo's belongings were all in Aepimite, so it could be said that they were all at risk.

He secretly decided that after the simulation was over, he would find an opportunity to identify the personnel suspected of being infected with the Bonesnatcher.

If the situation became uncontrollable, he would quickly sell the White Fruit Manor and find an opportunity to take the physical Throne Coin and run away.

While Li Nuo was considering his escape route, the Navigator suddenly raised his index finger.

"Ah, right! I remember now. According to the flight schedule, we would depart as soon as the commercial spy boarded the ship. But the captain told me that young master Harkas wanted us to wait a little longer, saying that Osges of the Voges family was coming to explain something."

"Osges? Did he come aboard alone?"

"Yes, not long after he boarded the ship, he left with Harkas. After that, the captain ordered the ship to set sail."

The Navigator said everything he knew in one breath.

At the end of his words, he mustered his courage and asked in a low voice:

"Are you an Orc or a human? Do you know who those names I just said refer to?"

Finally, things had progressed to the point of exploring his true identity.

Li Nuo took a small step back, raised the logging gun in his hand, and aimed it at the other party's chest.

The Navigator was startled, his face turned pale, and he cried out in horror:

"I won't ask! I won't ask! I didn't ask anything! We haven't met! You don't know me, and I don't know you! Let's walk out of this door and pretend nothing happened, okay?!"

"Speak, what is your name."

Li Nuo tried his best to restrain the excitement in his heart, not letting his hands tremble because he was about to shoot.

"My, my, my name is Yara Solar, I just graduated from the family academy two and a half years ago, and I was hired by the Pennis family to serve as the navigator of this freighter…"

Yara tremblingly revealed his family history, for fear of being shot for being a second slow.

"Yara Solar."

Li Nuo took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:

"I will remember your name. I'm sorry. I have to do this."

"No!"

Yara's pupils shrank sharply.

"Bang!"

The gunshot rang out.

… The air fell into silence.

The sound of gasping for breath went from nothing to something, and from something to nothing.

Li Nuo's eyes were red, and the gun in his hand slid to the ground.

Yara hugged his head, tremblingly moved his arms away, looked at the bullet marks on the wall next to him, and swallowed hard.

The back-and-forth tug-of-war on the edge of death made his heart rise to his throat, even more terrifying than the freighter crashing head-on into an warp storm.

But it was obvious that the Orc in front of him was not much better, and a human-like complex expression appeared on his green and rough face.

Li Nuo finally failed to take that step.

He knew very well that once there was a first time, there would be a second time, and countless times.

He would become more and more cold-blooded, more and more disregard for human life, treating human civilians as the Eldar treat humans.

One day, this corruption from the heart would collude with the great enemy of Chaos, crushing his humanity into powder, and from then on falling into the incurable abyss of darkness.

So, Li Nuo moved the gun line and shot the bullet into the wall.

Li Nuo put the double-barreled logging gun on his back, raised his head and looked at the other party, his voice hoarse:

"Yara Solar, remember this shot. You owe me a life. Keep the words between us to yourself, don't let me lose faith in the bottom line of humanity."

Li Nuo walked towards the exit of the bridge, quickly and urgently, as if worried that he would regret it, turn his head and give the other party a shot.

"Wait!"

Yara took a few steps, and the weakness in his body made him sweat profusely, so he could only watch the strange Orc walk away:

"Wait! Please stop! If you want me to keep a secret, you should at least tell me which side you are protecting, right? If it is for the Empire, even if you kill me now, I will die without regret!"

Li Nuo stopped and clenched his fist.

Damn loyalty.

What kind of magic does Old Man Huang have that makes you natives so devoted to him?

Li Nuo turned sideways, turned his head, and his expression became solemn:

"First, the Legion is forever loyal. Second, the Empire has no secrets. These two sentences will tell you which side you are keeping secrets for, and keep them and our conversation to yourself."

Li Nuo's back disappeared at the exit of the bridge, and a series of footsteps indicated that he was running all the way forward, with no intention of staying.

In fact, after leaving the freighter, he saw the Orcs and Eldar fighting in the other end of the dock.

He joined them without hesitation, personally killing more than a dozen Eldar, ending this simulation in the wails of the enemy.

Yara came to the porthole, looked at the battlefield of the Orcs and Eldar, and could no longer recognize the Orc just now.

"First, the Legion is forever loyal. Second, the Empire has no secrets."

"The First Legion, secrets? Could it be an agent of the Dark Angels?!"

This is the hazy star field where alien collections emerge endlessly.

In order to eliminate illegal transactions and personnel here, the Dark Angels sent agents disguised as Orcs to master intelligence.

This makes sense.

Yara felt that he had touched the truth!

As expected of the legendary Space Marine Legion, even Orcs can pretend so well!

Awesome!

Yara decided to completely hide the secret and never mention it to anyone.

Even if the Dark Angels' Space Marines questioned him, he would remain silent and resolutely keep the secret.

Yara's reason for doing this is very simple.

The agent should have killed him earlier, but he didn't.

He must have violated the rules within the Legion by doing so.

Revealing the conversation between the two would only cause the agent to be punished.

Therefore, keeping the content of the conversation in his stomach forever is the best choice.
