The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 261 Dilemma
While Jiang Hui and Huan Xian were sprinting, Zhou Xiuwen and the others had already reached the L4 energy point. With Clarence's help, the three of them easily eliminated the two teams originally stationed at that point.

All they had to do next was stay put and wait for Jiang Hui and the others to arrive.

They naturally noticed Holly and the others' situation immediately.

"They succeeded." Clarence looked at the numbers flashing above and said calmly, seemingly certain that this feat was the work of Jiang Hui and his companion.

Hillman and Zhou Xiuwen had no doubts, because in their view, this was the truth.

Jiang Hui and his team had just ambushed Holly and his group, and now Holly and his crew had lost their chance to survive, while Jiang Hui and his companion were both unharmed. The outcome of the clash between the two teams was quite clear.

Upon seeing Holly and the others appear within L11's range, the group all breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems they should be on their way.

Although there will only be about ten stars left when the two of them arrive, with more than 80% of their remaining energy, they can still last a long time even if they can't recharge completely, without affecting the rest of the competition.

On the contrary, Holly and the others might have something to worry about. With only 25 star points left, it would be quite an achievement to even reach 70% of that; it's been a bit of a rip-off for them.

This was something Jiang Hui and his team had planned from the beginning.

The group of people who were quite happy about this were unaware that the two-person pairing they thought was going smoothly was actually in a much worse state than expected.

After that broadcast, the entire charging point area of ​​the training ground fell into a kind of calm.

After all, it was normal for everyone to wander around hunting without knowing the numbers or anything beforehand. But now that they all know there's not much time left to charge, no matter how much they want to chase after the other contestants, they have to put down what they're doing and focus on charging the simulation bra, otherwise they might never have another chance.

The three people waiting anxiously at the L4 energy point kept glancing at the leaderboard above, keeping an eye on the progress. Finally, they met up with their teammates, who had been separated from them for quite some time.

—But the current situation doesn't look good.

After completing the ambush, Huan Xian and Jiang Hui dared not linger on the way and hurried on their way to L4 without stopping.

Whether or not she charges her power is no longer important. What's important is to quickly find a safe place to treat Jiang Hui's wound. Otherwise, her leg might really break in this small intra-school competition.

Seeing the two overlapping figures in the distance, Zhou Xiuwen and the others were excited, knowing that Jiang Hui and the others had finally arrived.

But when they got closer, they found that Huan Xian, who was rushing towards them, looked extremely pale. The person he was carrying on his back also seemed unwell; he was limp, with his arms hanging limply from the boy's shoulders, and his head drooping. Was he... unconscious?

A collective gasp went through them. Given Jiang Hui's personality, it was impossible for her to fall asleep so carefree while surrounded on all sides. Even in the most dangerous situations, she remained vigilant, constantly on guard against attacks from all sides; how could she possibly expose her and her teammates' backs to the enemy? Therefore, the only possibility was that she had fainted—

Huan Xian's grim expression further confirmed this; something must have happened.

Zhou Xiuwen disregarded the map and rushed out of the energy zone, with Hillman following suit. Clarence glanced over there, seemingly shifting his feet instinctively, but ultimately didn't stop, remaining within the L4 circle.

As it turned out, Zhou Xiuwen and his group's concerns were indeed correct.

Jiang Hui had fainted. She had collapsed on the way here, carried by Huan Xian. She had probably lost too much blood; her face was as white as a sheet of paper, and the gauze that had been changed not long ago was now stained bright red, mixed with dried dark blood clots, making her look bloody in patches.

"What happened? Holly and her gang did this?!"

Huan Xian did not respond, and without bothering to explain to the two, he led his men into L4 like the wind.

Clarence frowned as he looked at Huan Xian, who had finally returned with such an injured person, and couldn't help but ask, "How did this happen?"

How did it happen? No one knows better than Huan Xian.

Jiang Hui's lunge was instinctive; the speed was too fast, and the angle of landing was also very random. In the end, she couldn't control it anymore.

Unfortunately, the spot where they were lying in ambush was quite sandy and uneven, making it very uncomfortable to lie there. Jiang Hui's fall to his knees was a direct hit to his injured calf, so it was bound to be badly injured.

Her leg muscles had been deeply cut by a thin, sharp stone, leaving a large but fine wound. Although she rested for a long time, it hadn't actually healed; she only managed to keep the wound from worsening thanks to temporary treatment and minimizing movement.

This action caused the wound to tear a second time, further enlarging the wound area, and the previously smooth, uninjured areas were also rubbed raw and bloody.

When Zhou Xiuwen helped tear off the bandages on the other person's leg, he saw that the other person's calf was in a bad state, and the injury was visibly serious.

"Weren't you guys supposed to ambush Holly? Did he chase you here or... how did you get so badly injured?" Hillman's eyes were red. In his mind, Jiang Huai wasn't just a teammate, but the first friend he made at school, and one of the few peers he had in his young life.

He hadn't really taken the competition seriously; he just wanted to have some fun. He hadn't expected his friends to be so dedicated, to the point that they were neglecting their own health, resulting in increasingly serious injuries. This made him somewhat resentful of his overly serious friends.

Why are you so stubborn? Your legs are so important.

It's that same question again.

Huan Xian's expression grew colder and more expressionless, but his fists, hanging at his sides, tightened more and more.

What should he say? How should he answer? Jiang Hui became like this to save him.

Yes, save him. The other party genuinely wants to save him.

Using the word "rescue" in a school activity where there is absolutely no danger to life seems a bit of an exaggeration.

But for Huan Xian, wasn't this also a form of "saving"?
If today weren't an intramural competition, and there were no simulated bras, and the bullets coming at him were real, then if he couldn't dodge them, he would be seriously injured even if he didn't die.

Jiang Hui saved him, not by sacrificing herself, but by pulling him out of the line of fire while preserving herself.

But in Huan Xian’s short life, he never felt so clearly that he was a human being, a human being who could also be hurt and feel powerless.

Even someone like him will be rescued.
