I'm in Warhammer, I just want to grow mushrooms

Chapter 216 Where Did the Mysterious Alpharis Go?

Despite her inner grumbling, Li Nuo remained calm.

AlphaRice, standing over three meters tall and clad in a set of finely crafted power armor, is imposing and fierce, with explosive combat power, but so what?

Li Nuo tried to target Alpha Reis and launch a brain freeze attack.

The system message popped up, which put his mind at ease.

[You are about to cast a Brain Freeze Technique on the target. Base cost: 1 ton.]

[Target equipped with anti-psy energy device, consumption +1000%.]

[The target possesses a certain level of psionic resistance; resource consumption increased by 5000%.]

[The target's life level is significantly higher than yours; consumption +100000%.]

【最终的消耗量为1*（1+1000%+5000%+100000%）=1061吨。】

The estimated duration of the brain freeze is 1 second.

[Is it confirmed that the brain freeze procedure has been initiated?]

Under the influence of brain-freezing techniques, all are but ants.

Headshot, Light, Vibration – each of these abilities is a trump card.

With so many trump cards at his disposal, he had no reason to panic when facing the Primarch.

Li Nuo composed himself and asked slowly and deliberately:

"What do you want to know?"

AlphaS slightly raised the muzzle:
"Let's start with an introduction. Who are you? What's your name?"

"I'm a special forces lad from the Blood Bull Warlord, my name is Labraz."

Alpharis cast a scrutinizing gaze, taking in the special forces lad before him.

The other person was short and thin, and did not look very strong. He had a long breath and a strong heartbeat. Although he spoke with an orc accent, he never uttered any vulgar orc language.

Both his demeanor and tone of voice exude an aura of wisdom.

Rather than calling him an orc, it's more accurate to describe him as a wise man among orcs.

Correct.

He is a wise man.

When the orc saw him, he showed a very brief moment of surprise, but quickly regained his composure.

It was certain that it wouldn't fire, or rather, it was certain that even if it did, it wouldn't kill it, which is why it remained so calm.

Interesting, is this really just a special forces kid?

“Well, Labrids, tell me what happened here? Why didn’t you join those orcs? Don’t lie, I’ve read your Blood Bull Warlord’s information in the Thinker’s database.”

Alpharis spoke indifferently, the dark muzzle of his gun always pointed at the orc's forehead.

"Since you've seen our Blood Bull Warlord's information in the database, I'll get straight to the point. We used to be under the Beast King Urg, but one day, Boss Urg ordered us to fight some shrimp..."

Li Nuo recounted the process of Blood Bull Warlord's defection, but did not mention words like Chaos Demon. He only said that Blood Bull and his personal guards were bewitched by the Bone Drinkers, drank strange, smelly water, and then betrayed their leader, Zagru.

“Our great priest has fallen out with Blood Bull. Blood Bull locked him up and tortured him with the Bone Drinker. Oh, poor great priest, I’ve been trying to save him, but I haven’t had the chance.”

Li Nuo sighed sadly and mourned for the tragic death of the Blood Bull Warlord Shaman Boy in his scientific research experiment.

Alpharis asked:

Do you ever feel like you're different from others? For example, are you smarter?

"Of course, the Priest wanted to ask Boss Urg for help. He gave me 'smart water' so I could sneak into Shrimp's plane when Shrimp came to scout ahead. But before I could even get on the plane, the Priest kicked the bucket."

“Oh, is that so?” Alpharis asked again.
"Then what's with your invisibility? Orcish sorcery?"

"Of course it's the work of the High Priest!" Li Nuo took out a small vial of potion from under his cloak. "How about I demonstrate it for you?"

Alpharis nodded slightly.

Li Nuo poured the medicine into his mouth and disappeared on the spot.

Alpharis activated his scanner and powerful senses, but failed to find any trace of the orcs:

"Nice invisibility potion. Give me one."

One second, two seconds, three seconds…

No one answered.

Alpharis was slightly taken aback before realizing that he had been tricked.

"Damn aliens, they're so cunning."

Alpharis grunted in dissatisfaction, preparing to continue lying in wait, but then he heard a voice coming from afar—it was the orc who had spoken earlier.

"Oh, hey, it's your turn to answer my question now."

Alpharis turned his gun around and pulled the trigger.

Despite being a heavy bomb gun, it fired subsonic explosive bullets silently.

The bullet landed on the floor where the speaker was standing, exploding into a cloud of highly toxic mercury.

No one was hit.

The highly toxic mercury evaporated rapidly, forming a silvery-white poisonous cloud covering an area of ​​two to three square meters.

After a brief silence, the poisonous cloud dissipated, leaving no trace of the battle. The orcs' voices came from another direction:
"I advise you to behave yourself. You don't want to be discovered by the Bone Drinkers, do you?"

"That applies to you too, Xenomorph. You don't want to be discovered by the Bone Drinkers, do you?" Alpharis chuckled coldly.

"I advise you to come out honestly, and we can have a proper talk."

"Hehe, you're both wicked and stupid, I won't fall for your tricks." Li Nuo chuckled and said nothing more.

Alpharis activated his scanner and senses to scan back and forth, but failed to detect the presence of the special forces kid.

He gradually began to feel uneasy, as if he were sitting on pins and needles.

Of all the emperor's children, he was the most mysterious, but this special forces kid named Labryz was even better at hiding than him.

This is simply absurd; who exactly is the original gene?

"If you don't want to come out, that's fine. We'll leave each other alone."

Alpharis activated the invisibility field, and his figure vanished from existence, transforming into a transparent human silhouette.

A pebble flew from the shadows and landed precisely on him.

The invisible force field was disturbed by external objects, and ripples spread out where the stone hit.

“I know where you are, and I will follow you. Wherever you go, I will go. I will dig out all your secrets and tell everyone in the galaxy. I will make sure you have nowhere to hide.”

How vicious!
As the original genetic material, Alpharex couldn't stand this treatment.

"If you've got the guts, then come with me. I guarantee you'll die a horrible death."

The air returned to stillness.

The two engaged in a silent anti-submarine war within the treasure vault, much like a game of hide-and-seek.

AlphaRes has played a trump card this time.

Some kind of force field or psychic energy eliminated all noise, and even the disturbance to the air caused by movement was smoothed out.

This may be the true power of the Primarch.

His previous appearance, riddled with flaws, seemed more like strolling leisurely in the enemy's backyard than like infiltrating and spying.

Li Nuo wasn't in a hurry to find Alpharis's whereabouts.

It's not hard to guess how they got to Planet Apimette.

The merchant ronin's fleet includes an armed cargo ship that serves as a supply vessel, frequently traveling between Apimatt and Apimatt DE.

With Alpharis's abilities, it wouldn't be difficult for him to sneak into Planet Apimette DE by following this ship.

Li Nuo simply went down to the ground and waited for the shuttle to come and transport personnel and supplies.

A short while later, a shuttle bearing the supply ship's number landed and stopped near the ground outpost set up by the fleet.

After the supplies in the shuttle's cargo hold were emptied, a space was cleared inside, large enough for the three-meter-tall Gene Primarch to stand in.

Li Nuo crawled into the cabin and hid in a corner.

A few seconds later, a section of the metal floor in the cargo hold dipped slightly, indicating the presence of some heavy object.

Li Nuo glanced at the empty floor and knew that the dent in the floor was Alpharis's doing.

The shuttle's thrusters roared, and the surging thrust helped lift the aircraft.

When the altitude reached several hundred meters, a voice suddenly came from the seemingly empty cargo hold.

“I told you, if you come with me, I’ll make you suffer a terrible death.”

Li Nuo felt a tightness in her chest, but remained silent, pretending that she wasn't there.

Alpharis said, as if talking to himself:
"This cargo shuttle is manufactured in the Industrial World - Locarmat, model Pelican-3, with a payload of 15 tons. It's equipped with one scramjet engine and four high-specific-impulse thrusters. Losing one thruster doesn't prevent it from completing its cargo mission. Losing two increases the chance of crashing to 100%. What do you think is the likelihood that both thrusters will be rendered unusable simultaneously?" Alpharis appeared in a blind spot of the cargo hold's surveillance system, its over three-meter-tall figure standing there like a pillar.

He had a detonator in his hand with several buttons on it.

"Click."

"boom!"

A button was pressed, and a fireball erupted from the left thruster of the shuttle. A piercing alarm sounded in the cabin, and the pilot frantically tried to contact the fleet, occasionally letting out a scream.

The fuselage swayed from side to side, then slowly regained its balance.

But as Alpharis took a half step and adjusted his center of gravity, the shuttle’s fragile balance was broken, and the fuselage began to slowly rotate along the horizontal axis.

"Damn it! What's going on?!" the pilot screamed in terror and confusion. No matter how he adjusted the fuselage, he couldn't prevent it from rolling.

Alpharis said coldly:

"Alien, don't think you can run rampant just because you have orc magic. At this level, you're dead."

"Click!"

The second button was pressed down hard, followed by the third, and then the fourth.

With all four thrusters failing in succession, the shuttle suddenly entered a death tumble, and the enormous centrifugal force rapidly disintegrated the fuselage, throwing various parts out.

Soon, the shuttle's outer shell crumbled away, exposing the fuselage frame, and strong winds rushed into the cabin.

AlphaGo went into stealth mode and disappeared.

Li Nuo used subspace walking to leave the spinning, falling shuttle and re-enter the real universe. He used vibration magic to create air tiles and hovered in the air.

You didn't expect that, did you? I can fly!
"Boom!"

The shuttle crashed on the ground, exploding into a huge fireball and billowing black smoke.

Li Nuo waited quietly for the second cargo shuttle to land.

More than ten minutes later, inside the second shuttle heading to the supply ship, Li Nuo was still standing in the corner, wanting to give Alpharis a surprise.

Unexpectedly, Alpha Rex never boarded the plane!
Li Nuo narrowed his eyes, sensing something was amiss.

Could it be that Alpharis is searching for his remains in the wreckage of the first shuttle?

Alpharis wouldn't believe the troublesome special forces kid was dead until he saw the body.

In any case, the only way to leave Planet Apimette DE is by supply ship.

You can't go wrong waiting on the supply ship's helipad.

And so, Li Nuo remained on the lower deck of the supply ship until the next morning.

Ultimately, he had to accept the facts.

Alpharis has disappeared.

No, to be precise, I lost track of them.

"As expected of the most mysterious Primarch, its stealth and anti-submarine capabilities are truly exceptional."

Feeling a pang of emotion, Li Nuo decided not to continue following the story.

For him, it was enough to know that Alpharis existed in the world.

Everything has two sides.

It's a good thing that AlphaRes and the Ministry of Justice will work together to deal with the Bone Drinkers.

On the other hand, during the Horus Rebellion, two more rebellious Primarchs will emerge—Alpha and Omega, who are twins.

I need to add two more targets to my plan to stop the rebellion.

"Alpharis and Omega, if you dare to betray us, I'll kill you. Even the weasel can't save you."

Li Nuo secretly made up his mind to end the Waaagh simulation.

...

...

a few days later.

Granite 5, Royal Court District, the deepest part of the Governor's Special Agent Base.

With a "whoosh," the pneumatic gate slid open, and a figure emerged from the hidden passage behind it.

The precision-engineered power armor has a matte finish, without the glare of a wall lamp, and the hydra relief on the helmet is incredibly lifelike.

The person walked silently down the corridor and stopped in front of a metal wall.

The helmet made a ticking sound, and the wall slid down, revealing an armory full of weapons and equipment.

Upon entering the room, a mechanical arm on the ceiling activated, removing the power armor from the visitor's body.

The man's body shrank during a series of flesh-wriggling movements, returning from a height of just over three meters to that of a normal human, and his face transformed into that of a man in his thirties.

Ultimately, he became someone Li Nuo knew:
Delton.

"That troublesome alien, how did that special forces kid named Labridz manage to escape from the shuttle...?"

Delton muttered to himself, took the data panel from the servo skull, and quickly tapped a few times on the interface.

The Auger Matrix within the base was activated, initiating comprehensive, high-precision scanning and anti-submarine operations.

Shortly after, the scan results came back.

The absence of any unusual objects within the base relieved Delton.

He connected the power armor and the Thinker with pipes to store the collected intelligence.

A large amount of text was refreshed on the thinker's screen.

After the data transmission was complete, Delton retrieved the intelligence he had collected in the past few days and reviewed it along with the information from Planet Epimet DE.

His brows furrowed, and his eyes flickered, as if he had discovered something extremely troublesome.

About half an hour later, a communication signal came in, initiated by Voges.

Delton tidied his appearance and connected to the communication system.

In the image, the bust of Vogues changes as soon as it appears.

In the blink of an eye, a golden figure appeared.

“Your Majesty,” Delton bowed respectfully.

The large, golden figure on the screen nodded slightly.

"Go ahead. I'm listening."

“Yes,” Delton said thoughtfully.
"I infiltrated and investigated fifteen Bone Drinker strongholds, and the situation at each stronghold was almost identical to the description in the intelligence. Based on this investigation, I believe that the intelligence provided by the mysterious psychic is highly credible. In addition, by deciphering the Bone Drinker's database, I realized that the Bone Drinker may have a secret base that was not recorded in the intelligence."

The Emperor asked:
"Oh? Where do you think their base is?"

Delton pondered:
"I suspect the Bone Drinkers are based in the warp."

"Why do you think that?" The Emperor's expression hardened slightly, signaling Delton to continue.

"That's right, Your Majesty. The Bone Drinkers' outposts in the real universe frequently exchange personnel and supplies with the base. I've discovered that the same escort ship can travel to several planets in a single day, and each time it docks at an outpost, it unloads supplies and personnel brought from the base. I really can't think of any other location that would allow for such efficient logistics, other than setting up the base in the subspace."

Delton paused for half a second:
"Another reason is that I discovered the Bone Drinkers have been deeply corrupted by Chaos, and the Warp is the foundation of Chaos' power. With Chaos' help, the Bone Drinkers are able to build bases within the Warp."

Delton brought up Chaos directly in front of the Emperor, but the Emperor did not fly into a rage.

In fact, the knowledge about chaos was taught to Delton by the Emperor.

When an incident involves Chaos, the Emperor will prioritize sending Delton to investigate rather than sending ordinary people from the Department of Justice to their deaths.

"Well done." The emperor's face showed approval, then his expression became serious.
"The Bone Drinkers naively believe that by setting up their bases in the warp, we can't touch them. What they don't know is that even if a base is hidden in an area untouched by the starlight, we can still destroy it. I think you've already found a way to destroy it, haven't you?"

“Yes, Your Majesty. Although we do not know where the base is, we can use the Bone Drinker’s internal logistics system to send a devastating device capable of destroying the base there.”

Delton clenched his fist and pounded his chest, bowing in respect.
“I request the requisition of a legal department squad and a senior Star Speaker from the Star Language Court. I need their help to arrest some people and stage a scene to destroy the Bone Drinkers’ base.”

“Okay. I will authorize you through Makado. However, the destruction of the base should be arranged as late as possible after the full vaccination is completed. The Imperial Medical Department will complete the production of the vaccine within three days, and full vaccination will take at least half a month. That means you have fifteen Terra Days to prepare for the operation to destroy the base.”

"As ordered."

Delton bowed again.

"I'm waiting for your good news."

Communication ends.

The half-body image in the picture transforms back into Vorghes's appearance.

A few seconds later, Voges snapped out of his daze, wiping his sweat and waving his hand in apology:
"Sorry, Delton, I've been so busy lately, my brain isn't working properly, and I've drifted off again. Where were we?"

"Sir, I was just about to report to you the results of my investigation into several serious security incidents that have occurred recently."

Delton, with the smile one would give to their superior, sent several documents via the sound array device and began to introduce them unhurriedly:

"Based on my investigation, the perpetrators of these serious security incidents are remnants of the rebel army, not the Bone Drinkers..."
