Full-Time Public Enemy-Chapter 692 - 503: [The Steal Fire Plan]_4

"Single-soldier nuclear grenade!" Chen Gu shouted. Instantly, his Heavy Nuclear Armor covered his entire body as he retreated at top speed.

BOOM—

The terrifying explosion rapidly surged forward. Chen Gu felt as if a giant hand had pushed him from behind, uncontrollably slamming him into a corner wall dozens of meters away. He spewed a mouthful of blood.

A few seconds later, Chen Gu slid down the wall. His head was buzzing, his vision blurred, and his entire skeleton ached with excruciating pain, as if it had cracked open.

The military fortress was indeed very sturdy. It withstood the blast of a single-soldier nuclear grenade, and although this section of the corridor completely collapsed, it wasn't entirely blocked off.

It took a full half-minute before Chen Gu managed to struggle to his feet. Just then, the debris in front of him suddenly lifted, and with a roar, Balermo emerged.

The Seventh Energy Level Hell Titan, Balermo, also looked rather pitiable now. His bone armor was torn and tattered, and a huge wound marred his face, from which thick blood dripped.

Suddenly, an intense sense of danger washed over him. Chen Gu forced himself to quickly regain his senses. Then, he saw a tall figure push aside chunks of rubble in the collapsed corridor and step out.

The figure wore some sort of special glasses that locked onto Chen Gu in an instant!

Chen Gu immediately felt as though he had sunk into a concrete pool that was rapidly solidifying!

Vision Lock!

At the same time, the tall figure steadily raised the gun in his hands.

The gun was covered in colored wires, with different energies flowing through them. Its muzzle was as thick as a fist—it was a hand cannon!

Deep Space Hand Cannon!

However, the hand cannon wasn't aimed at Chen Gu, but at Balermo, who was equally disoriented.

BOOM!

The trigger was pulled, and the Deep Space Hand Cannon fired. A five-colored cluster of light shot out rapidly, expanding to the size of a basketball once it left the muzzle.

Balermo finally regained his senses. With a loud roar, he sprinted desperately. But, as he had said earlier, this type of shell could track its target. No matter how Balermo zigzagged, cut back, or leaped, the shell relentlessly tracked him from behind, growing faster and faster, until Balermo plunged headfirst into a pile of rubble.

When the five-colored shell hit, BOOM!

The pile of debris was utterly pulverized. Balermo lay motionless within. His already tattered bone armor had a large hole blown through it, and his massive body was pierced straight through, his fate unknown.

Chen Gu took a deep breath and turned his attention to the figure. Everything had happened too fast. The blast from the single-soldier nuclear grenade had impacted Balermo too greatly, and he was slow to recover.

Chen Gu didn't have time to warn him aloud. Against these Project Prometheus weapons, the only effective defense was to go on the offensive.

Throughout the ordeal, the figure kept a steady gaze on Chen Gu. The Vision Lock's hold on him grew stronger by the second. After dealing with Balermo, the figure raised the Deep Space Hand Cannon again and approached Chen Gu.

In this moment of crisis, Chen Gu's mind was exceptionally calm. Without fear, he rapidly contemplated countermeasures. There was just one question: Why was Project Prometheus so successful?

All four Star Nations had research targeting Professionals, but the others had made very slow progress.

Chen Gu stared at the figure and suddenly smiled faintly. The instant the other party squeezed the trigger, Chen Gu vanished. He rushed in front of his opponent, delivering a series of consecutive attacks that cleanly knocked him to the ground.

It had been a long time since Chen Gu had used this exceptional professional skill: High-Energy Combat Art, which came from Star Battle Instructor Griffin Wester.

The High-Energy Combat Art, coupled with his Heavy Nuclear Armor, could also deliver incredible offensive power.

Vision Lock targeted the abilities of Professionals, but High-Energy Combat Art might be the only 'skill' that such weapons couldn't restrain.

This was because, unlike other abilities, this skill increased a Professional's capability to use all kinds of high-tech weapons, specifically improving abilities in Mecha combat. To be exact, this ability functioned more like a 'brain development' enhancement rather than a direct attack. Chen Gu had guessed Vision Lock probably couldn't restrict it. After trying it just now, he found he could indeed use it, and he felt greatly relieved.

The figure wore an Ursa Major Battle Suit, which could absorb the attacks of professional skills and convert them into his own strength. However, Chen Gu was not using the offensive power of his Heavy Nuclear Armor; the Heavy Nuclear Armor was primarily functioning as a Mecha.

Therefore, the attack landed solidly on his opponent, knocking him down in the first exchange.

Vision Lock could target professional skills. However, Chen Gu had already equipped his Heavy Nuclear Armor before the lock engaged. This skill was therefore locked, not 'cancelled.'

His Heavy Nuclear Armor remained active on him, and he couldn't make any changes to this skill, such as retracting it or transforming it into a form like the 'Doomsday Sanctuary.'
