Chapter 171 The Bone Drinkers’ Base is Actually There

Chapter 171 The Bone Drinkers’ Base is Actually There
With every step the shadow took forward, Gennaro took a step back until he hit the shelf.

"Who are you? Astarte?" Gennaro asked nervously.

Li Nuo did not answer Gennaro's question.

He pulled out the special firearm from his waist, activated the bacteria's ability - light magic, and stuffed white light with an intensity of 1000 million lux into the energy magazine.

The light enters the barrel along the optical path and is processed into a scorching laser through the focuser.

"Buzz!"

The low roar was like the heavy breathing of a wild animal sitting up from its sleep.

A white laser as thick as ten centimeters instantly landed on Gennaro's psychic shield.

The dazzling rays were completely offset by the mask, and circles of ripples spread across the surface of the mask.

“Buzz buzz buzz——”

White lasers came out one after another, Li Nuo squeezed the trigger and swept the psychic shield.

Gennaro was startled at first, thinking he was going to be brutally attacked and killed instantly.

But the scene in front of him almost made him laugh to death.

"Ha, from the way you sounded, I thought you were so powerful, but I didn't expect you were only this powerful."

Gennaro was unharmed under the protection of the psychic shield. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, took a long breath, and laughed sarcastically:

"Your laser weapon looks extraordinary, but it's just that. It's no different from ordinary Imperial laser weapons. At most, it's just a brighter flashlight. You want to shoot through my shield with this thing alone? Dream on."

The principle of Psionic Shield is similar to that of Void Shield, which also transfers attacks into the subspace.

However, the former is a means of individual protection for psychics, while the latter is a shipborne equipment for establishing the technological side.

In theory, as long as the psyker concentrates and diverts each attack into the warp, he will not be able to be bypassed by the enemy and hurt himself.

Faced with Gennaro's ridicule, Li Nuo said nothing and just kept pulling the trigger.

The 1000 million lux light ball quickly dissipated, and was replaced by 2000 million lux.

The thickness of the white laser did not change, but the temperature suddenly rose to 4000 degrees Celsius.

The 2000 million lux light ball disappeared, followed by 3000 million lux, and the temperature of the laser reached 6000 degrees Celsius.

The light ball of 3000 million lux ended, and 4000 million, 5000 million, and 6000 million lux appeared in turn.

When the intensity of the light ball reached 1 million lux, beams of light scattered from the special firearm, and the smell of burnt food and black smoke appeared simultaneously.

"Crackle..." Sparks flew from the gun, and the strong light ignited the lens when passing through the focuser. A white laser with a temperature of up to 20000 degrees Celsius became the swan song of this weapon.

The laser fell on the psychic shield, causing it to shake violently, with faint signs of cracking.

But in the end, the shield blocked the attack, and the special firearm caught fire at the same time, burning it from the inside out to charcoal.

"Haha, your weapon is too durable." Gennaro was about to sneer, but suddenly he saw the black shadow take out a second weapon, and he forced himself to hold back the sarcasm.

This second weapon is a sword hilt.

The bright white light was transformed into a laser by the focuser, and then bound into a blade by the force field of mechanical wizardry.

1 million lux of white light brings a high temperature of 20000 degrees Celsius.

The white blade slashed on the psychic shield, the shield and sword light flashed synchronously, and a rolling heat wave came in the face.

Gennaro's expression changed slightly, and he casually threw out two electric guns.

Lightning struck the surface of the shadow, melting it like ice and snow.

"Damn it, what on earth is this armor of yours that can actually counteract my psychic lightning."

Li Nuo said nothing and continued chopping. How could he miss such a good target?

One sword, two swords, three swords, the sword wind was whistling, and the force field sword turned into a nimble butterfly, flying up and down in Li Nuo's hand, and each strike could bring fatal high temperature.

Gennaro was overwhelmed and couldn't even fight back. He could only try his best to resist the storm of swords.

Half a minute later, electric sparks came out of the hilt. The focuser could no longer withstand the high temperature of 20,000 degrees and ended its life by spontaneous combustion.

Li Nuo casually threw away the burning hilt and took out the third weapon under Gennaro's gloomy gaze.

"Don't waste your time. The laser can't penetrate my shield. As long as I can keep up with your attack rhythm, whether I fire red lasers or white lasers, I will be transferred to the subspace..."

Before he could finish his words, Gennaro was surprised to find that the light this time was not white, but green, a very pale green that caused a slight pain when it shone on his skin.

"Gauss weapons?"

"Congratulations, you got it right." Li Nuo picked up the special firearm, placed the muzzle emitting green light against the shield, and pulled the trigger.

“Buzz buzz buzz buzz——”

The sound like the flapping of bees' wings was creepy, and the flashing green light illuminated Gennaro's pale face.

His psychic shield was shaking violently, enduring extremely lethal radioactive attacks every moment.

No!

We have to escape from here quickly!

The big black guy in front of him was obviously well prepared!

If I continue to stay here, I will die.

Gennaro's figure quickly transformed from real to virtual and entered an invisible state. The strong wind pushed his body sideways as fast as lightning.

However, a wall of air just happened to block his way.

"boom!"

Caught off guard, the psychic shield collided head-on with the air wall, and the shield was squeezed into an energy film that was tightly attached to Gennaro's body surface.

Gennaro was not injured due to the protection of the psychic shield, but several other air walls that followed completely blocked his way.

"Don't move. Stand still. Wait until I have tested all the weapons. I will give you a quick death."

Li Nuo's voice was like the devil's whisper, with a chilling magic in its calmness.

"Tell me! What terms do you want to negotiate with me?!"

Gennaro had his back against the wall, his psychic shield fixed by the surrounding air, and he could only move in an extremely narrow space.

He opened his mouth and shouted, trying to make his voice louder than the roar of Gauss's weapons:

"You should know who I am! I am a member of the Bone Drinkers! Killing me will not help! Why don't we sit down and talk? State your terms. As long as they are not too excessive, we will consider accepting your proposal!"

The barrel of the Gauss gun cracked inch by inch, and a pale green light emanated from it.

A second later, the gun was disintegrated by radioactive metal particles, turning into fragments and dust that slid to the ground, leaving a green flare on Lino's gloves.

"Is it over? Can we talk now?" Gennaro's breathing was as heavy as a cow and sweat was pouring down his body.

"No." Li Nuo uttered a word lightly and pulled out the fourth weapon behind him.

This is a pair of boxing gloves. After putting it on, inject irradiation into the energy magazine. Five sharp Gauss razors extend out from it, forming a terrifying light claw.

The sharp claws tore through the air, and the claw tips left five dark green scratches on the shield.

A new round of weapons testing began, and the two men once again entered a state of silence, one slashing wildly to test the limits of the weapon, while the other passively took the beating, not daring to be distracted for fear that he would be killed by the high-speed weapon.

A minute later, the Gauss energy claw turned into ashes.

Under Gennaro's gloomy gaze, Li Nuo took out his fifth weapon, the one-handed Gaussian force field axe.

Gennaro's will was about to break.

The strange black shadow in front of him was no different from a cold machine. He just kept testing his weapons without saying any nonsense or accepting any negotiations.

"What on earth are you going to do?!!!"

Gennaro yelled at the top of his lungs:

"State your terms! Let's sit down and have a good talk! This is our ultimatum to you!"

"Your ultimatum to me?" Li Nuo asked calmly, the Gaussian force field axe in his hand hummed and lit up with a pale green light.

"Yes, you heard it right, this is our ultimatum to you!"

Gennaro gnashed his teeth and said:

"You don't think that I can't pass on the message by blocking this treasure house with outdated mental communication blocking technology. Let me tell you, stranger, we Bone Drinkers have long anticipated the situation of being blocked from mental communication. For this, we have paid our faith to a great existence. As long as I pray to Him, I can pass on the message and tell my compatriots!"

Oh, so this is why the Bone Drinker casts confusion.

It seems that they suffered a lot from the mental communication blocker many years ago, so they defected to Tzeentch not long after their recovery.

A small doubt in his heart was solved, and Li Nuo replied with a normal expression:

"I advise you not to do anything stupid, it will only bring you to death sooner."

The indifferent tone made Gennaro feel a huge mental pressure.

His body trembled slightly, and before the shadow swung the blade, he immediately closed his eyes and called out to the prophet of the Lord in his heart:
"The great Shadow Weaver..."

Gennaro suddenly stopped moving, his movements and expression frozen at the moment when the title was read out.

His psychic shield disappeared, exposing his true form completely. This was the effect of the brain freeze technique.

Li Nuo shook his head slightly, feeling a little regretful. The Gaussian force field axe in his hand drew a horizontal arc and cut Gennaro's fragile body in half.

Green flares remained on the cross-section of the wound, and highly radioactive metal particles were devouring Gennaro's body at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The parasitic spores buried in his spine were engulfed by the massive radiation and turned into radioactive dust in an instant.

Without the control of the Bone Drinker spores, Gennaro's own consciousness took the lead.

Gamma-level psychic energy gave him extraordinary vitality. He lay on the ground, looking blankly at the black shadow in front of him:

"Am I... am I going to die..."

"Yes." Li Nuo knew that the consciousness speaking at this time belonged to Gennaro's body, not the Bone Drinker, so he slowed down his tone a little:
"Do you remember how you became infected with the Bone Drinkers?"

"I remember... I remember..." Gennaro laughed miserably, his eyes filled with sadness:

"A gamma-class psychic bone drinker held my family hostage and forced us to surrender. We agreed. He wanted us to regularly offer sacrifices of highly intelligent and educated humans. I was chosen by my family to be the first sacrifice."

Gennaro's full name is Gennaro Meslaton. He was born into the governor's family of Meslaton, an industrial world.

The whole family he mentioned should be referring to the direct descendants of the Meslaton family.

In other words, the entire industrial world has essentially betrayed the empire.

This betrayal is very secretive.

Because according to Gennaro, apart from him, other direct members of the Meslaton family were not infected, and the Ministry of Justice may not be able to find strong evidence.

"Were you originally a gamma-level psychic?" Li Nuo asked.

"No, I was just an ordinary person." Gennaro's breath became ethereal:
"After my family was sacrificed, the Bone Drinkers took me into the Warp. They had a ship there, and I drank a large amount of Spectre Potions, becoming a Gamma-class psyker."

Gennaro's eyes flickered with memories.

I don't know what he remembered, but before he died, he let out a long sigh:
"It's the first time I know there are so many strange things in the warp... The Emperor... The Emperor lied to me... He said there is nothing in the warp, he lied to all of us... all of us..."

Silly yellow skin.

Li Nuo squatted down and asked in a deep voice:

"Any last words? To thank you for the information, I will try to avenge you."

Gennaro's pupils turned slightly, and he weakly uttered a few words:
"Soranija...my daughter...save her...or let us be reunited...thank...thank..."

The air grew quiet, Gennaro stopped breathing, the green flare devouring his heart, taking away the last bit of life.

Li Nuo stretched out his hand and swept across the ground, activating his fungus ability - corpse transformation.

He spent some time sweeping out the traces of the battle, and found no additional clues except the pits.

Opening the door to the treasure house, Li Nuo activated the bacterial ability - optical invisibility, and controlled the black knight to return to the upper nest.

Half an hour later, the Black Knight successfully passed through the secret passage and arrived at the private laboratory. Li Nuo opened his eyes in his office and ended the Waaagh simulation.

【This Waaagh simulation ends. 】

【Settlement in progress.】

[You killed 114 million parasitic spores of the Bone Drinker corrupted by Tzeentch, and your score is +11.4. ]

[You killed a Gamma-level Psychic Bone Drinker, score +1. ]

[You foiled a plot by Shadow Weaver Zelfax, score +30.]

【You have obtained a total of 46.4 points. 】

[Remaining simulation points: approximately 680 million. ]

As expected, it was another conspiracy of Zelphax. This guy is totally irrelevant.

Li Nuo snorted, stood up from the chair, walked into the secret room, and controlled the holographic device inside.

He pulled up the Bone Drinker's crisis plan and filled in a line:

"The Bone Drinkers are suspected of setting up their base in the Warp."

This is the information revealed by Gennaro's original consciousness before his death, which is extremely important.

From the Bone Drinkers' perspective, there are three advantages to basing your base in the Warp.

First, it is impossible for normal Imperial ships to discover the base.

When Imperial ships are sailing in the Warp, they will activate the Geller field and lower the shutters of the portholes to ensure that every crew member cannot see the scene of the Warp.

Second, the base would be difficult for the Empire's legitimate psykers to discover.

The legitimate psykers of the Empire all know that the Warp is dangerous, so when they must come into contact with the Warp, they will actively block out dangerous factors and only come into contact with relatively safe Warp energy.

Take the Navigator as an example.

When a navigator observes the subspace, he will only observe where there is the light of the Astronomican, and will not and dare not look elsewhere.

Similarly, the Astropaths, the psionic experts of the Astropathic Court, and the think tanks of the Space Marine Legions all tend to draw on the energy of the Warp within the range of the Astronomican.

If the Bone Drinkers' base is hidden where the Astronomican cannot reach, the possibility of the Empire's legitimate psykers discovering it is infinitely close to zero.

The third benefit of basing your base in the subspace is:
Even if the empire knew where the base was, it would not dare to attack.

That's the Warp, a restricted area explicitly designated by the Imperial Truth.

Let’s not talk about whether we dare to shut down the Geller force field and attack the Bone Drinker base.

Just admitting that there are things in the warp is a serious violation of the Imperial Truth, a felony that will result in the Imperial Ministry of Justice sending one to the gallows.

So, to sum up:

The human empire is in big trouble this time.

"If the sky collapses, there are tall people to hold it up. I just need to take care of my own planet of Palu and the Hive. Let the yellow-skinned guy worry about the rest. Fortunately, I reacted quickly this time and predicted the location where the Bone Drinker would appear in advance. Otherwise, when the Sister of Silence comes, Epimet will probably be ordered to be exterminated."

Li Nuo recorded all the information provided by Gennaro, feeling resentful in his heart.

The results of the weapon testing were also written into the document. Of course, Li Nuo encrypted this data.

He plans to find time to conduct further research and testing on the planet Palu, and strive to increase the life of Gauss weapons to more than 1 hour.

"Drip drip."

The communication prompt sounded.

Brandi flew the servo skull over and opened the data pad for Li Nuo:
"Master, this is a communication request from the airport."

"Come in."

"Yes, Master." Brandi pressed the answer button with the mechanical claws of the servoskull.

The voice of the commander of the Airport Orbital Tower came in:

"Lord Wilsey, the Star Tongue Court ship is approaching the port. They claim to be here to assist Epimet and arrest illegal Gamma-class psykers."

Li Nuo was stunned for a moment and looked at the time on the data board.

All in all, it has only been an hour since I asked Shatana to send the Star Language message for help. How come the Star Language Court’s ship has already arrived?
Within the Solar Star Region, the Star Torch shines brightly, and subspace navigation is basically unimpeded, but it is unlikely that someone would arrive in just an hour.

Li Nuo was a little confused about the situation, so he could only reply:
"Okay, I understand. I will arrange for someone to receive them. Please ask them to wait on the boat for a while."

"Yes, my lord."

Communication ends.

Li Nuo closed the secret room, went to his residence, and found Tido to explain the situation.

The two of them quickly got ready and went out together, accompanied by the guards, rushing to the orbital tower as quickly as possible.

There can't be any hesitation at this time.

The gamma-level psychic bone drinker had been killed by Li Nuo, but others didn't know it.

Li Nuo now plays the role of the deputy governor whose life is threatened by an illegal psychic. Of course, he has to immediately ask for asylum from the psychic team of the Star Language Court. It would be best if he could stay with the other party at all times so that he can save his own life.

The group hurried and finally arrived at the scene before the Star Language Court's ship entered the dock.

When he saw the ship, Li Nuo seemed to understand what was going on.

This is a black ship, specially used to collect and transport psykers, not a warship of the Astronomican.

Li Nuo thought that this ship was probably on its way to the target planet to collect psychics, and it heard Shatana's astrologer message, so it came over to help.

"呲————"

The black hatch made of ebony metal slid open and a team of fully armed arbitrators walked out. In the center of the team was a silent sister with pigtails and a psychic expert holding a force field staff.

Leading the team was a bearded judge.

Li Nuo felt that it looked familiar.

He couldn't remember where he had seen this judge before, but the judge recognized him first.
