The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 116 Replay
Everyone present, especially Major Hank, had a sudden change in expression upon hearing this.

Although they had received relevant intelligence beforehand and knew of the existence of this king-level beast.

But now that all the physical evidence has been connected, and most of the people present have come from the chaotic battlefield, it is easy for them to detect the anomaly.

While Isosulfanthid ants are generally not very strong fighters, they are among the few "scent masters" of ant quasars. They can not only secrete sulfanthrin, which disrupts brain balance, but also briefly demarcate a territory and block and interfere with signals in a specific area.

This is also why the school was unable to receive the distress signals from Mays and others.

However, when Mays and his team encountered a problem a dozen miles before the finish line, they were not discovered. This could be attributed to the acid ants, but what about this king-level acid ant?

How could a king-level beast with an overall rating of near-S-class be the leader of a group of star beasts that are at most C-class? Even if they belong to the same race, it's impossible. Besides, the pheromones of the two groups don't match at all. This king-level acid ant was clearly specially arranged to infiltrate this group of C-class star beasts.

Who would do such a thing... and what was his purpose in doing so? In nearly a hundred years, nothing like this had ever happened at Beska Intermediate Academy, and everyone felt a sense of unease.

"Continue," Major Hank said, pressing down on the back of the chair. The slight creaking sound immediately reminded the chattering crowd, and they unconsciously quieted down.

"In addition to the data and traces needed for evidence collection and review, we also extracted some images from the port of Warrant Officer Mays' mech wreckage. Although it was damaged, it showed several scenes. I wonder if the Major would like to review it immediately?"

“Project it over here.”

Upon hearing this, the other party made some movements on the other side and, with the assistance of the accompanying evidence-gathering personnel, transferred the video to the conference room.

The port device was probably too badly damaged. Most of the transmitted images were very short and some were blurry. Sometimes the scene was unclear and sometimes only the sound could be heard. But just from the sound and the remaining images, one could feel how dangerous the situation was.

Major Hank watched the penultimate segment, in particular, three or four times, frowning thoughtfully. He said nothing, closed the video, and then opened the fourth segment.

This segment is the longest and also the calmest of the four, so quiet it's almost unsettling.

Because at this moment, Mace in the image was already severely injured. The huge fangs pierced through his upper ribs and lungs, and blood dripped down the fangs, flowing all over the ground, so much so that the whole scene seemed to be stained red.

The process wasn't short, but it felt incredibly long under the atmosphere that seemed to be shrouded in the shadow of death. Everyone present had experienced life and death, personally seeing off many comrades and countless enemies, and had long been accustomed to life and death... but the feeling of watching a fellow countryman's life gradually come to an end was truly terrible, even if this moment belonged to a completely past tense.

The atmosphere in the meeting room was unusually oppressive.

Until... a different sound suddenly broke through the deathly silence.

Major Hank raised an eyebrow, while Stark looked in the direction of one of the somewhat familiar voices.

It seems the two little ones who rescued him have just arrived... So this is what happened. Although they had learned the general situation from the two people involved, knowing the outcome and seeing the whole story are ultimately different. Although the main character on the screen was still the dying Warrant Officer Mays, the faint, clear voices of children outside, along with their lively atmosphere that seemed out of place with the somber atmosphere, immediately dispelled much of the gloom that had spread from the death.

Upon seeing this, Teacher Tan, a first-grade teacher, couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle, "These two kids are really carefree. What if there are other star beasts nearby? Such a commotion will surely attract them all!"

Of course, this is only from their perspective as bystanders... The matter is actually in the past. The fact is that they were lucky enough not to encounter any star beasts and even rescued the instructor. Instructor Tan was just expressing his feelings.

The scene continues—

The view inside was still quite blurry, but from their angle, they could see that the people outside were working very hard to dismantle the vertical windows of the control cabin.

“…There should be some lateral resistance holding it in place over there, so let’s stick with this side.” Then came another round of careful prying. The person making the move seemed to be constantly exploring the angle of force. Although the movements were a bit clumsy, the whole process was exceptionally smooth, showing that they took the mecha’s structure quite seriously.

Then everyone watched as the people outside dismantled the window of this mecha, which was rated at least S, almost as if it were child's play.

“Captain Stark, I remember you said this person is a student in your class…and seems to have pretty strong practical skills.” Major Hank didn’t understand these things, but he knew that this didn’t seem to be a talent that a combat soldier student should have, but rather the qualities of a mech pilot.

"Judging from the vertical window on the right, the side must have been hit hard; the joints that are connected are loose, so it wouldn't be difficult to remove it..."

"..." Major Hank wanted to say something before he even said anything. He just wanted to compliment the kid on his good touch, and he was explaining so hastily, as if he was afraid that someone from the mecha department would take a liking to him.

There's really no need for that. Compared to the mecha's abilities, which he doesn't quite understand and have no idea about, Hank actually appreciates the calm and composed demeanor the other party displays.

He only mentioned it because he noticed Stark's somewhat strange attitude towards the student. Now it does seem rather odd...

The person in the picture has pried open the window of the control room. The light coming in from the outside not only illuminates the dim control room and the people and scenery inside, but also makes the appearance of the person who came in very clear.

Wait a minute… he also felt that this child looked somewhat familiar. Major Hank seemed thoughtful.

The video then shows a series of actions related to discovering the injured and rescuing people.

The entire process didn't take long; in fact, it could be considered quite fast. At least for these two untrained teenagers, achieving this level of performance was quite commendable.

Jiang Hui's calmness and decisiveness, Hillman's action and outstanding reaction left a deep impression on many people present.

"Clap." Major Hank suddenly clapped his hands. "I think we can't leave this part out. Although it seems meaningless now, I still think we should give these two kids extra points?" Although his words sounded like he was asking everyone, his tone was so unquestionable.
