Full-Time Public Enemy-Chapter 710 - 508: Evolution Complete Form_3

Chen Gu's speculation was correct. This gigantic rhizome acted like the brain of the entire Dilai City moss and even aggregated the abilities of the Microscopic Analyst.

Chen Gu quickly read the memories within this "brain." If it could not be considered a brain, then it might be similar to the vast root system seen on Sol Star, which could also read memories, clarifying the true objective of these moss viruses.

His eyes widened, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "These things are truly cunning and terrifying!"

Using his Mind Remote Control ability, Chen Gu issued a command to the gigantic rhizome, instructing the surrounding moss viruses to stop aggregating and disintegrate automatically.

However, this command was met with fierce resistance.

Chen Gu quickly understood that this order went against the "instinct" of the moss viruses. The huge rhizome trembled. No matter how much Chen Gu intensified his control, he could not issue the command.

Annoyed, Chen Gu noted that nearly five minutes had passed. Without hesitation, he switched to Radiation Missionary, and a Radiation Scouring turned the giant potato into... a charcoal-roasted potato.

...

The Colonel had already selected two other warriors. Including himself, each person held an Antimatter Bomb.

The three of them, wearing single-person Mecha, each stood in the palm of an Earth War God, watching the poison nest anxiously. Another of his most trusted warriors took his place controlling his No. 1 Mecha and was also watching an ancient mechanical watch—a contribution from the generous Lord Rosfield.

"Thirty seconds left!" the warrior yelled.

The Colonel fretted. Why isn't His Lordship out yet...

They had already made a plan. As soon as time was up, the three Earth War Gods would be thrown with all their might at the poison nest. They would detonate the Antimatter Bombs together, and then everything would be up to Lord Modric. If he could pull them back, it meant their lives were not forfeit. Otherwise... their names would be added to the Star State's list of fallen soldiers.

Why throw them rather than use their single-person Mecha to fly over? Because being launched by the Earth War Gods was faster and more likely to breach the poison nest's defenses.

The Colonel wasn't confident the three of them could withstand such acceleration, but he believed they could hold on long enough to detonate the bombs.

Modric and Rosfield were also particularly tense. Rationally, Chen Gu was from the Confederation. Humanity's greatest enemy was indeed the Alien Insect Race, but the Star State and the Confederation had been fighting both overtly and covertly for years. Hadn't the Director just taken a "stroll" inside the Star State recently? 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Therefore, it would be in the Star State's best interest for Chen Gu to fall in battle here.

However, at this moment, both men sincerely hoped Chen Gu would succeed and return alive.

This was especially rare for the self-important and proud Lord Rosfield of the Ancient Slumbering Race. In such a short period of cooperation, Chen Gu had already won his approval and even affection.

"Twenty seconds left!"

The Colonel grew even more anxious. "My lord, please don't attempt any last-second thrilling stunts. It's so cliché..."

No sooner had he finished speaking than he saw all the surrounding emerald moss tremble at once, then collapse thunderously all around like a receding tide.

The various structures that were moments from completion utterly collapsed.

The huge poison nest before the Colonel's eyes began to wither immediately. A dark red light burst forth from within, and wherever it touched, parts of the poison nest turned to ash...

The Colonel, after a momentary stun, began yelling excitedly, "Quick, quick, quick! Put the bombs away! His Lordship has succeeded! We don't have to fight to the death now! These bombs are terrifyingly powerful; we mustn't accidentally trigger them..."

The warriors carefully packed the three bombs into special safety boxes, and everyone heaved a collective sigh of relief.

Modric laughed heartily, seizing the opportunity to strike the already defeated enemy. His laser arc blade and Heavenly Rank Item No. 2-13 were now usable. The laser arc blades flew out in swathes, slicing through the moss everywhere.

He also rapidly expanded the range of the Heavenly Rank Item, desiccating countless patches of moss with a single thought. Modric, in a relaxed mood, joked, "This item is certainly convenient for making dehydrated fruits and vegetables."

Rosfield shot him a disdainful glance, maintaining his dignity by staying put. Victory was already theirs. I am an Eighth Energy Level individual; there's no need for me to compete for credit with these 'lower-tier' professionals.

WHOOSH—

Chen Gu burst out from the shattered poison nest, still somewhat shaken. "That was close!" he exclaimed. "The moss nearly succeeded."

In the Star Sea, military satellites delivered images. The crews of the Close Range Attack Ships were growing impatient. The generals thought their Lord Marshal was making an inexplicable mistake and were on the verge of mutiny. Just then, "Dilai City," which had been shaping into a green Star Sea battleship, suddenly collapsed.

The green moss dispersed outwards, everything disintegrating...

Marshal Ostia quietly breathed a sigh of relief. My intuition was correct—I truly possess the qualities of a legendary marshal!

"General, electronic interference is decreasing. We'll soon be able to contact Volunteer Spirit and find out what happened," a staff officer reported, looking at the monitoring equipment.

Ostia nodded. "Contact them immediately."

Minutes later, Chen Gu, who was evacuating with everyone else, received a call from the Marshal. He then truthfully informed the Star State military, "These moss viruses have evolved a very terrifying ability. As long as they have a professional as a sample, they can acquire that professional's abilities through a strong burst of energy."
