The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 224 New Situation

No wonder this person hasn't been able to get up for so long... His legs are injured like this and he hasn't uttered a sound. He can still stubbornly get up on his own. He's quite the stubborn person.

Jiang Hui is quick and efficient when helping others, but why won't he say a word when he needs help himself? Huan Xian looked at the other person's bloodied and mangled calf and felt a rare surge of anger.

Huan Xian beckoned to Zhou Xiuwen, signaling him to come and help, while he himself rummaged through the medical supplies.

Neither of his two teammates spoke, and the atmosphere was unusually heavy. Zhou Xiuwen immediately sensed something was wrong and quickly came over to take a look.

Good grief, their team's first injured member has appeared. And it's not the weakest one, but actually the most meticulous Jiang Hui.

How did it get so badly injured?!
Did you get this while dodging the gunfire? That was incredibly powerful, or were you just too quick to react and didn't notice?

A thin, sharp stone pierced Jiang Hui's calf vertically, leaving a deep wound that exposed the muscle and tendons. Blood splattered all over his leg and had seeped into his shoes. If left untreated, walking would be tantamount to torture.

"This simulated bra is supposed to have a shielding and protective function, so why didn't it block it out?" Zhou Xiuwen immediately complained indignantly, "This design is so careless!"

“The training ground and the supply depot are different,” Huan Xian said in a deep voice.

Inside the supply points, simulated bras cover almost the entire surface to prevent irreversible damage during physical combat. Therefore, these bras deflect external attacks, effectively reducing their effectiveness and becoming a direct way to eliminate participants within the supply points.

And because of this full-area coverage, people feel that the simulated bra is not durable at all inside the supply point and is worn out very quickly.

Outside the training ground, shooting was king; close combat was almost nonexistent. Players were eliminated simply by shooting at the enemy. This was virtually identical to a live-action CS game on Earth, where simulated bras automatically eliminated players the instant a bullet hit. This explained why so many participants were eliminated in this competition.

Of course, in order to prevent excessive physical fighting between contestants in the training area, even outside the training area, the simulated bra will still provide contestants with nearly 75% barrier coverage to avoid contestants being reckless.

Furthermore, the barrier provided by the simulation bra differs between the outside and inside supply points. Outside the training ground, it offers cushioning and emergency protection. Unless the injury is fatal, participants will not receive much protection from impacts or external forces.

Especially for the hands and feet, these are crucial joints for the competitors, and injuries to these limbs can affect the competition results. Therefore, the protective barrier provided by the simulation bra for these areas is extremely weak. In short, it almost completely ignores injuries to the hands and feet.

Jiang Hui became the test subject for the latter this time. The pebble cut through the muscle of her calf, and an unprecedented, intense pain struck her. She didn't even realize the chaos of the battle had ended, so naturally she couldn't get up immediately.

"Oh my god, this is serious. Jiang, you lunged too hard! It's pierced right through." Zhou Xiuwen was pacing anxiously, more worried than anyone else seeing Jiang Hui's furrowed brows and tears welling up in her eyes. Anyone who didn't know better would think he was the one who was injured.

"I couldn't dodge it just now," Jiang Hui said in a hoarse voice.

So, outdoor combat is still dangerous, even though it's essentially a game. Running around all day, who can guarantee there won't be any problems? And sure enough, she ran into trouble… They never expected that the first thing they used on her was the medical kit they found at the supply point. Jiang Hui had thought they probably wouldn't need it until the end of the match.

"You know, it's just an intra-school competition... Don't push yourself so hard. What if you really break a bone? I heard from my uncle that military academies never hold back when training students, just to cultivate reserves early. It's not uncommon for people to die or get injured in intra-school competitions and activities like this. Jiang, you really have to be careful."

Watching Huan Xian skillfully treat Jiang Hui's wounds and mercilessly squeeze out the foul blood, the other person's eyebrows furrowed: "You could be a little... a little gentler. If there's secondary trauma to the muscle tissue, there might be long-term effects."

Neither of them noticed that the other's eyes dimmed almost imperceptibly as they were busy, and finally the other said in a low voice, "Legs are very important."

Whether Huan Xian heard it or not, his hands continued to work quickly, treating Jiang Hui's wound, applying de-icing agent and wound powder, and then tightly wrapping it with gauze. The force was so great that Jiang Hui, who was already in great pain from the wound, hissed a few times.

“At least… for at least one week, we will be unable to move.” Huan Xian said to Jiang Hui in a deep voice.

Actually, one week is an optimistic estimate, because the clotting agent and medicine powder applied to the wound need at least one week to take effect, but it doesn't mean that the wound will heal in one week.

Even with the advanced medical technology of interstellar space, a large wound that injures bones and tendons would take at least eight to twelve star-hours to heal with specialized medications. The time could be shortened with the use of medical machinery. It's impossible for it to heal in just one star-hour; after all, humans aren't machines.

There were no suitable conditions at the training ground, so Jiang Hui was destined to carry this injury until the end of the competition.

The medical supplies didn't include painkillers, meaning Jiang Hui would have to endure the pain until the end of the competition, which would significantly impact her. Huan Xian didn't voice this, because everyone already knew the truth, and saying it would only damage morale; it was better to leave it at that.

Ever since discovering Jiang Hui's injury, Huan Xian's expression had been rather unpleasant. Although he wasn't sullen, his face was tense and he didn't seem relaxed at all, appearing quite unhappy.

Jiang Hui was unsure how to break the deadlock. She opened her mouth, but ultimately said nothing.

Zhou Xiuwen didn't have so many concerns. As if he couldn't see their stiffness, he dragged the two of them to a relatively secluded spot nearby, pressed Jiang Hui down to sit on the ground, and considered it a rest.

After such an event, the atmosphere among them became unusually silent.

Just as Zhou Xiuwen was about to say something to liven up the atmosphere, Huan Xian suddenly changed his expression and made a gesture to them. Zhou Xiuwen understood immediately and protected Jiang Hui, hiding them away.

Huan Xian, meanwhile, crawled through the bushes, his dark gun barrel hidden behind the branches and leaves, aimed in a certain direction.
