Full-Time Public Enemy-Chapter 577 - 468: The Heroic Overlord_3

Deng Puer took out a badge from his bosom and tossed it to Chen Gu. "This is my personal authority badge. Although I've been put under house arrest, none of my official duties have been revoked on the surface, and my permissions remain valid. With it, you can quickly obtain all the experimental data on Black Crow and Red Bear from the base's mainframe."

"Breaching the mainframe would take you time. This item can save you that time."

Chen Gu threw the badge to Shang Qingye outside, and the girl immediately rushed to the central control room. Before long, Shang Qingye's voice came through Chen Gu's communication channel, "He's telling the truth. Chen Gu, you should come and see this data. It's utterly monstrous, unbelievably shocking!"

Chen Gu looked at Deng Puer. "What do you want?"

Deng Puer said, "That depends on who you really are." There was a probing look in his eyes. "If you are officials from the Confederation, I fear I can only ask for a comfortable prison with lenient conditions."

Chen Gu cursed under his breath, Sly old fox. Deng Puer certainly lived up to his reputation as a high-ranking dissident who could stand against the government forces for so many years. Beyond the ferocity and cunning that met the eye, he harbored schemes and patience.

Deng Puer had been under house arrest by Darkmang for many years, all the while hiding his brilliance and biding his time. Upon meeting Chen Gu, he immediately presented a cooperative facade, eagerly offering information Chen Gu supposedly wanted. In reality, however, he hadn't disclosed any truly key intelligence.

The information he provided was all something Chen Gu would have eventually discovered after taking over the base anyway.

For instance, the Black Crow and Red Bear projects.

Chen Gu was well aware that, due to his youthful appearance, Deng Puer must have been concealing significant intelligence. Deng Puer was likely waiting to identify the "real power" behind Chen Gu before beginning any serious negotiations.

Coincidentally, Chen Gu was also growing tired of dealing with such an old fox. Having completed his field training and apprehended Deng Puer, he simply turned around and said to Wang Chengqian, "Deng Puer is inside. Our field training here has come to an end."

Wang Chengqian felt as if he were in a dream. It's over? Just like that?

Before this field training, the school had anticipated the course would last for three months. If the military undertook infiltration and assassination missions like this, they could usually conclude them in a matter of days.

However, that relied on the military's extensive intelligence network and their formidable precision in deploying forces.

The most challenging part was actually the preliminary intelligence gathering. Factoring that in, three months didn't seem too long; it might not even have been sufficient.

According to His Excellency the Principal's plan, this field training was designed to train students from scratch. They were to complete an entire espionage cycle: infiltration, undercover investigation, intelligence collection and assessment, and finally, action.

In his view, even three months was a tight schedule. Completing it would be ideal, but if not, gaining experience was the main goal. He would arrange for the teachers to handle anything left unfinished.

Yet, they had accomplished in just three or four days what was planned to take three months!

At that moment, Wang Chengqian had a profound realization: this cohort of students was extraordinary. He resolved to pay closer attention to them and offer assistance at school whenever possible. After all, who could tell? One day, these very individuals might ascend to the highest echelons of power within the Confederation.

Wang Chengqian nodded to Chen Gu, his expression amiable. "Well done. I'll go in and confirm."

After Wang Chengqian came out and confirmed everything, Chen Gu told him, "Teacher Wang, you should probably contact the Principal. Deng Puer has a lot of secrets, and I'm not qualified to negotiate with him."

In truth, Chen Gu couldn't be bothered to wrangle with Deng Puer. If negotiations were truly necessary, Chen Gu, as a senior operative of the Bureau of Mystic Security's Special Action Squad reporting only to Director-General Aviloya, was well-qualified. Given the choice, Deng Puer might even prefer negotiating with Chen Gu over the Principal.

Wang Chengqian nodded. "You're right. I already informed the Principal right after confirming Deng Puer's identity."

Chen Gu nodded, left everything there in Wang Chengqian's hands, and headed to the central control room himself. He planned to access the base's mainframe and view the experimental data on the Black Crow and Red Bear projects.

The experimental data was truly horrifying. Darkmang was utterly diabolical; she had used live human beings as test subjects from the very beginning of the experiments!

Only after more than 6,700 "slaves" had died did they accumulate enough experience to begin the second phase of experiments on the rebel warriors.

During this phase, the combined death toll of rebel warriors and slaves exceeded another 3,000 before they barely managed to increase the success rate to 30.11%.

From these experimental procedures, Chen Gu could easily see that Darkmang's primary focus was on "Black Crow." "Red Bear" seemed to be an afterthought, most likely a concession to appease the leader of George's Warrior Group.

For the rebels, powerful warriors were naturally the priority. Psychics were desirable, certainly, but they didn't offer the same sense of security as warriors.

What exactly is this person and her backers trying to accomplish?

Does this method of training psychic abilities have anything to do with Wei Jiangqi at all? 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

The experimental data didn't answer Chen Gu's questions. After a moment's thought, he returned to Deng Puer's barracks. "What is Darkmang's background?"

Deng Puer shook his head. "I don't know. But the Commander ordered me to trust them unconditionally."

This time, Chen Gu finally registered it. "Them?" He recalled that from the beginning of his conversations with Deng Puer about Darkmang, Deng Puer had indeed said "them"—a detail Chen Gu had overlooked until now.
