Full-Time Public Enemy-Chapter 764 - 523: Queen of the Bugs_2

"COUGH, COUGH, COUGH..." Amidst the coughing, students checked their Mechas, then restarted the machines and climbed back up.

Chen Gu was relatively unscathed. His capabilities were exceptionally high, and his physical constitution far surpassed his classmates'. When the impact of the explosion hit, he managed to stay conscious. However, his Mecha's aerial form was completely destroyed, its power system crashed, and like everyone else, he plummeted to the ground.

Chen Gu was the first to get back on his feet. Looking back, he saw the terrifying explosion had not only obliterated the flying insect swarm but also wiped out a third of the pursuing ground insects. The remaining ones were now retreating.

The insect swarm was no longer a threat for the time being, so Chen Gu turned to find that heavy Mecha.

It was very easy to find, standing out clearly. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Not only was it strangely shaped, but it was also over ten times larger than the others. However, it now lay like a pile of scrap metal amidst the rubble.

Chen Gu, consumed with annoyance, rushed over and lifted the heavy Mecha.

CREAK... CLANG!

Several parts fell off on the spot. Chen Gu shook his head, knocking on the cockpit door. "Are you dead?"

ZZZT... ZZZT... ZZZT...

A series of electrical sounds emanated from within the heavy Mecha as it seemingly attempted to restart. Chen Gu found it peculiar: It's this damaged, can it still work?

Unexpectedly, after three or four more silent attempts, a roaring sound followed as the power reactor reignited—it had actually managed to restart successfully!

Looking at the fallen parts, Chen Gu momentarily wondered, Were these components just slapped on in the design, not actually necessary? Is that why this thing can still operate after losing so many?

Amidst a series of buzzing sounds, the heavy Mecha indeed restarted. The operator maneuvered it, and then, BANG! A huge spring suddenly shot out from an unknown location, like an electromagnetic cannon shell, flying straight and embedding itself into a massive rock hundreds of meters away.

The spring lodged halfway in, its protruding end vibrating continuously.

Looking at the heavy Mecha again, it seemed as though it was finally free of its "restraints," becoming completely agile!

This... Chen Gu was at a loss for words.

The heavy Mecha pushed Chen Gu aside, a gun barrel rising from its back. After three attempts, it finally lowered and aimed at Chen Gu.

Immediately after, Chen Gu received a communication link request, which even included a translator.

Chen Gu did not accept. His face grim, he suddenly disappeared from the spot.

The heavy Mecha was just about to open fire when its energy cannon's "lock" on Chen Gu inexplicably failed, and Chen Gu had vanished without a trace.

Chen Gu's classmates, having just regained consciousness, witnessed 'Brother Chen' execute a clean and efficient 'Mecha combo.' First, he tripped the heavy Mecha, sending it sprawling. Then, grabbing its leg, he swung it around like a windmill, slamming it hard from one side to the other. This was followed by a sweeping kick that launched it into the air. Before it could fall, another skyward punch sent it flying dozens of meters higher.

BOOM—

The heavy Mecha crashed heavily to the ground, unable to move again. Chen Gu calmly stood to one side, brushing non-existent dust off his Mecha.

"Beautiful!" his classmates applauded.

These consecutive strikes were undoubtedly High-Energy Combat Art, fluid and ruthless.

Lin Xiaochen came over. "Brother Chen, how come there are people from the Empire on our battlefield?"

Chen Gu shrugged. "Ask him, and you'll know." Then, he clicked to confirm the earlier communication link request.

"You ungrateful fools! I saved your lives..." As soon as the communication connected, a hoarse curse came from the other side. But having just taken a beating from Chen Gu, the rushed curse was followed by fierce coughing.

Chen Gu walked over, flexing his hands and feet, ready for another round.

The heavy Mecha pilot roared, "What do you think you're doing?"

"Teaching someone from the Empire some manners," Chen Gu replied indifferently.

The heavy Mecha pilot screamed, "Andon! What are you waiting for? Kill these bastards!"

A brash voice suddenly cut into Chen Gu's communication channel, "Confederation people, if you take one more step, I'll blast your head off!"

Chen Gu checked and was surprised to find this voice was using the Confederation military's public communication code.

Chen Gu frowned. "Why are people from the Empire appearing within our Confederation's territory?"

There was no answer, but then another voice interjected, "Not just the Empire, but us from the Star State as well."

The last voice added, "And us from the Freedom Alliance."

All were using the same public communication code.

This kind of public code is changed by the military after every major conflict and is kept strictly secret during combat. Their possession of it suggested it had been authorized by the military.

Without making any rash moves, Chen Gu asked, "Who exactly are you?"

Andon was still speaking arrogantly, "This is a top military secret, and you're not qualified to know! My men kindly saved your pathetic lives, yet you're so ungrateful..."

Chen Gu cut him off, "I'll contact the military."

Before Chen Gu could react, the heavy Mecha had recovered. It sat up abruptly and lunged at Chen Gu. "Let your Grandpa Andrei teach you what a real man's fight is like!"
