Full-Time Public Enemy-Chapter 772 - 526 Rescue Operation (Part 3)

BEEP. BEEP. BEEP.

Zhou Buwu's communicator buzzed. Bai Yunpeng had sent a message, clearly detailing the joint search team's situation. Zhou Buwu gritted his teeth. "Those Star State dogs! But Chen Gu truly lives up to his reputation! This weapon... did he develop it by combining his own professional skills? Otherwise, how could it be so powerful?"

In the sky, Chen Gu led the way as he swiftly descended.

The other members of the search team remained frozen in place for a good while—they were utterly shocked. By the time they came to their senses, they were already several kilometers behind Chen Gu and hastily caught up.

Chen Gu landed in front of the four, lifted his face shield, and said with distress, "Are you the only ones left?"

Zhou Buwu stepped forward with a bitter smile. "We were prepared to lay down our lives for our country."

Bai Zhichu rushed up and circled Chen Gu excitedly. "So you're the 'Volunteer Soldier's Soul'? Sister Xianya brags about you all the time at home. I didn't believe it, thinking she was just boasting, but it turns out she was being modest!"

Zhou Buwu saw the joint search team catching up. He gave Chen Gu a look, indicating he had an idea. "Quickly, gather everything up! We need to break out while the swarm still hasn't figured out what's happening. If they surround us again, I'm afraid none of us will escape this place."

"Alright," Chen Gu agreed, then asked, "Do we have any spare energy reserves?"

"Yes. The Mechas of those who were killed in action hardly used any energy."

Chen Gu immediately breathed a sigh of relief. "Bring them all to me."

Bai Zhichu quickly returned to the cave, retrieved the energy packs, and slung them onto his back. He offered earnestly, "I'll carry them for you."

Chen Gu didn't refuse. Waving to the approaching joint search team, he said, "Follow me."

Andon said proudly, "We Empire warriors have never hidden behind others!"

Chen Gu, readily accepting the suggestion, responded, "Alright, you take the lead then." 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Andon: "..."

Weren't you supposed to compete with me? Where's the spirit and courage of you Confederation soldiers?!

But Chen Gu had already retreated to the back. Andon, cursing himself internally for his big mouth, had no choice but to lead his team to the very front.

However, after advancing a few kilometers and encountering the main force of the swarm, Andon was stunned. The area was swarming with giant insects, each tens of meters long. His team bombarded them relentlessly, even using various indiscriminate Empire weapons that risked friendly fire, but they still couldn't blast an opening to break through.

The insects seemed to have realized what was happening. Their previous fear gradually faded, and more and more of them started to close in.

Chen Gu opened the menu. The options were actually quite simple, as Dr. Obayan had only temporarily installed a few additional weapons.

Chen Gu selected a suitable one and gently tapped it.

The "Annihilator Cannon" on his flank retracted. In its place, a weapon port opened on his chest, from which a bizarre, V-shaped muzzle extended.

However, when Chen Gu activated this weapon, named the "Laser Shock Sword," his expression changed drastically. He urgently shouted to Bai Zhichu, "Energy! Energy! Quick!"

Bai Zhichu handed over several energy packs, which were just enough to sustain it. The "Laser Shock Sword" emitted an incredibly bright V-shaped beam of light. It shot out for tens of thousands of meters, remaining cohesive and not dispersing, like a gigantic laser blade tens of thousands of meters long. It forcefully plowed a deep, long trench through both the swarm and the ground!

Andon was dumbfounded. He refrained from saying another word and quietly maneuvered himself behind Chen Gu. The Empire's warriors are truly adaptable men of fortitude—they know when to be flexible!
