Full-Time Public Enemy-Chapter 766 - 524 Rescue Operation (Part 1)

Vasili Multi-delivery nuclear bombs—these things have yields far beyond the nuclear grenades equipped by most Star Nations.

Nuclear grenades are strictly controlled weapons by the military in every Star Nation, except for the Empire, as they could easily cause harm to oneself as well as to others. Even the Confederation has a dedicated thirty-two-page manual for their use.

But in the Empire, even a massive device like the Vasili was produced in the hundreds of thousands at once after its initial design was finalized.

The reason it's called "multi-delivery" is that there are three delivery methods: the first is a mortar or a recoilless gun. Of course, this method of delivery requires some minor modifications to the Vasili. The second is through aircraft delivery, whether it be Combat Roosters, Close Range Attack Ships, or unmanned reconnaissance drones. The third method is... personal delivery, which means throwing it.

However, with the Vasili's blast radius reaching 3,800 meters, even if one used small mortars or recoilless guns, after firing, the user would still be within the blast range.

Andrei threw this thing. If everyone's Mecha weren't advanced models provided by their families, and if Bai Zhijin weren't wearing school-customized gear, they would probably all have failed to escape. Andrei himself wore heavy Mecha. Its defense was already astonishing.

Chen Gu immediately exposed Andon and their conspiracy. There was a moment of silence in the group chat channel, then Andon immediately started shouting with righteous indignation, "Nonsense! You are slandering me without any evidence!"

"We are from the Empire! The whole Star Sea knows that we Empire people are Mindless Warriors; we don't have as many crafty thoughts as you do!"

Indeed, in the Star Sea, people from the Empire are often ridiculed as Mindless Warriors, always engaging in rash and silly actions. But Chen Gu always felt that this was an overgeneralization and that the Empire's officials were also deliberately encouraging this 'persona' behind the scenes. But this reputation was just something to laugh about. Anyone who truly thought the Empire was full of Mindless Warriors would be incredibly naïve. This instance, for example, was a case in point.

Andon made a series of evasive arguments, but Chen Gu simply listened without bothering to respond. Once Andon finished his raucous defense, Chen Gu spoke to Bai Yunpeng, "Does Marshal Bai have any arrangements?"

Bai Yunpeng gnashed his teeth and cursed the three parties heartily. He then ended the multiparty conversation and redialed Chen Gu's private account directly. "Chen Gu," he said, "this matter is of great importance; national interests are the priority. I can't worry about the details. You must follow them!"

When Chen Gu had asked Marshal Bai about the arrangements, he had already anticipated this. Indeed, his simple question was backed by the potent confidence of a Sixth Energy Level multi-profession expert, capable of executing any order from Bai Yunpeng, whether it was apprehending the forces of these three factions or directly killing their leaders.

"Okay," Chen Gu agreed. "But you'll have to explain things to the dean; we're here for a field practice course."

Bai Yunpeng said, "The two matters might not conflict."

He further explained, "The item you're looking for is likely within those temple ruins. And these individuals, before they betrayed our people, were also following clues pointing to that same temple ruin, so their destination should be there too."

But Chen Gu thoughtfully said, "Can you ask the dean to have everyone else withdraw first?"

Bai Yunpeng also understood Chen Gu's point. Andon and his crew were truly ruthless. They had been willing to join forces to kill the Confederation military's search team they had previously collaborated with, so they would surely not spare Chen Gu and his group. Next, they would not only have to face attacks from the bugs but also guard against their 'allies'' treachery, significantly increasing the danger. Chen Gu didn't have the energy to look after these classmates.

"I'll ask the dean first."

After Bai Yunpeng hung up, Andrei, who was in front of Chen Gu, started to get a bit restless. He was wearing heavy Mecha, which allowed for some space inside the cockpit. If he operated the Mecha, the significant movement couldn't be hidden from Chen Gu's eyes. But inside the cockpit, he gently released the controls and retrieved something from behind him.

Behind a layer of heavy Mecha, I shouldn't be noticed, right?

But he had no idea that under the Radiation Field, Chen Gu was aware of his every move.

And the object he retrieved also piqued Chen Gu's interest: it was a sophisticated piece of equipment rarely seen among Empire infantry, a high-voltage electric chain.

Andrei quietly gripped a lever. Pulling it would directly open the cockpit door. Then, with his other hand holding the high-voltage electric chain, he could throw it the instant the door opened, immediately trapping Chen Gu.

What to do after trapping him? If the bug swarm happens to arrive, and we're 'too late' to rescue him, well, if our 'ally' gets eaten by the swarm, we can only express our deepest regrets.

Andrei smirked cruelly, pulling the lever with one hand while extending the other to throw out the high-voltage electric chain.

Yet, he didn't expect that just as he extended his hand, another hand was already waiting outside, accurately catching the expensive high-voltage electric chain!

Andrei was dumbfounded. What's going on?

Are we all so in sync?

It felt like back in elementary school when we passed notes behind our backs.

If there had been no coordination, it would have been impossible to pass it so smoothly, even after dozens of practice attempts.
