Warhammer: Beginning with Planetary Governors

Chapter 110 Pipeline World
Inside the dark and narrow pipe.

Ron was trying to crawl forward. Under him was filth that had accumulated for who knows how many years, mixed with some strange tissues.

Fortunately, he used his psychic power to cover his body with a protective film to avoid contamination by pollutants.

Even with a protective film, these foul-smelling sludge are enough to make any normal human faint.

Unfortunately, Ron is not a normal person.

In order to deal with situations like these, he had Moss remove his sense of smell and taste when he customized this body.

So even such a scenario can be handled easily.

Ron climbed in the dark, damp and narrow pipe for nearly three hours before he finally saw the end of the pipe.

A bright light can be seen at the end.

In this situation, most people would be unable to suppress their excitement and rush to the end of the pipe.

However, Ron stopped, raised his staff slightly and fired a compressed psychic ball forward.

"You dare to ambush me? Go!"

For safety reasons, he has been maintaining his psychic perception, so how could he be attacked by surprise?
Snapped!
The psychic ball exploded the light at the end, and suddenly a beast-like scream was heard.

At the same time, the light fell from the end of the pipe.

The passage fell into darkness again.

After the screams stopped, Ron continued to crawl to the end and stuck his head out to look at the tunnel below.

Only then did he see the ambusher's appearance clearly.

It was a mutant creature with several tentacles.

It has a bioluminescent organ on its head, and like the anglerfish in the deep sea, it uses light to hunt prey.

The nearly 1,000 kilometers of pipelines of all sizes inside the hive are extremely complex and store too many pollutants, forming a unique ecology long ago.

In such a haunted place, it wouldn't be surprising to see any kind of monster appear.

According to the records of the Royal Court District.

Three hundred years ago, a maintenance worker got lost in a pipeline and unexpectedly found a tribe of subspecies humans.

The people of the subspecies tribe have lived in the pipe for centuries and have no idea that there is an outside world.

They feed on various fungi that grow in the sewage sludge and have even mastered certain fungi cultivation techniques.

Fortunately, the language of the subspecies has not been completely lost, and they can communicate in a simple way.

Those kind subspecies rescued the maintenance workers.

In return, the maintenance workers taught them a lot about tool making.

The two sides got along well, and the subspecies tribe even sent people to assist the maintenance workers to return to the ground.

But after the matter was reported, the local defense officer immediately sent people to find the maintenance worker and forced him to reveal the location of the subspecies tribe.

Afterwards, the officer led the defense force to find the subspecies tribe and completely wiped it out.

He cut off the heads of those subspecies and reported them to the Royal Court as his achievements.

This incident caused some waves at the time.

After much debate, those subspecies were finally classified as aliens.

After all, their skulls do not look very human.

The officer was promoted as a result.

While searching for information related to the pipeline, Ron saw the detailed files about this incident and was deeply saddened.

All I can say is that the Empire is a bit harsh on people whose skulls are not pure enough.

Ron struggled to get out of the pipe and jumped to the tunnel about two meters below.

He sighed slightly.

Because in the mud at the bottom of the tunnel, you can vaguely see the skeletons of dozens of scouts.

It is estimated that many scouts sent by the Military Affairs Department died at the hands of these damn mutant creatures.

But most of the scouts passed through here safely.

If the mutant creature is full, it is unlikely to attack actively.

In such an environment, wasting physical energy is an extremely luxurious behavior.

As Ron stepped over the mutant creature's corpse and prepared to climb out of the tunnel.

A sudden change occurred. The mutant creature climbed up silently and pounced towards us, waving its tentacles.

At such a close distance, it was difficult to activate psychic power. But how could such an unethical old trick be able to sneak attack him?
Phew!

The combat knife's monomolecular blade pierced through the mutant's head, killing it instantly.

Ron pushed the mutant's body aside and put his combat knife back into his waist.

There's nothing wrong with a mage playing melee combat.

After climbing out of the tunnel, Ron began his journey all night long.

On the way, he dealt with dozens of mutant creatures and saw more and more corpses of scouts.

Ron took out the map and looked at it. He had only walked 30 kilometers, less than one-third of the distance.

He recalled the corpses he had seen on the road. Just to get here, half of the scouts were killed!
For a long time afterwards, Ron never saw the scout's body again.

It seems that this journey is relatively safe.

When he relaxed a little and hurried forward, his psychic sense suddenly sensed a huge crisis!
There was an extremely evil force not far ahead, and waves of devilish mutterings could be heard.

Instantly, Ron's heartbeat accelerated.

He subconsciously raised his staff and pointed it in the direction of danger, ready to fire a psychic ball.

"Fuck!"

When Ron saw clearly what was in front of him, he tried his best to retract his attack, but the reaction force of the psychic energy he forcibly suppressed almost made him vomit blood.

It was a close call. I almost made a big mistake.

Fortunately, the magic ball was not launched, otherwise his clone would have been offline on the spot.

I saw a strange fog in the huge pipe not far ahead, and in the center of the fog was floating a twisted body locked with iron chains.

There were many remains of scouts scattered around.

Creepy.

Ron was so confused:

"Why is there such a thing in the pipe?"

That's the demon host.

The evil followers use some kind of ritual to forcibly pull Chaos Demons from the Warp into reality, and then lock them in human bodies, turning them into a terrifying existence.

The demon host is usually in a sleeping state, with its body emitting strange mist and bursts of mumbling.

Its combat power is extremely terrifying.

Once the demon host awakens, it will relentlessly hunt down the creature that awakened it.

The target will not be changed until it is completely killed.

But for those who are familiar with the demon host, it is still quite safe.

As long as you don't step into the fog or use any weapons to harm the demon host, it is almost impossible to wake it up.

For Ron, if it weren't for those unreliable teammates, he could have passed this place quietly and steadily.

He stuck close to the wall of the pipe, his steps were light and slow, he carefully avoided the strange fog, and moved forward step by step.

Almost there, we'll be in the safe area soon.

This wave is stable!
When Ron was halfway there, his bad teammate appeared.

A four-legged mutant creature with smooth skin crawled out from some pipe.

It had its back to this side, grunting and sniffing here and there, as if it was looking for something.

Ron stopped and tried not to make any noise that might attract the mutant creatures.

He looked at the mutant creature and prayed in his heart:

"Don't find me, don't come over here!"

However, the mutant creature suddenly turned around and met Ron's eyes.

……

An awkward atmosphere spread.

After seeing Ron, the mutant immediately showed a happy expression.

delicious food!
ooh ooh-

It kicked its legs wildly and rushed towards us excitedly...
