The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 269 What a pity
Watching Holly leisurely emerge from the tall trees, Mu Kun and the others asked somewhat casually, "Is it over?"

But why were there no gunshots? Could it be that no one was inside, and they were just imagining things?
They naturally trusted Holly. Even after their two previous defeats, the group never doubted his abilities. In fact, because of their shared experiences and hardships, their respect for Holly was even higher. After all, he was the leader they had personally witnessed leading them to victory in the competition.

In fact, many contestants' self-assessment was somewhat inaccurate; none of them were actually afraid of failure.

So what if they failed? They all knew it was just a small intra-school competition, and a temporary setback didn't mean anything.

But they also knew that this was not just an intra-school competition; it was a platform, the beginning of a contest where the strong competed on the same starting line.

From this moment on, they must do their best and strive to improve themselves so that they can be truly prepared when they enter the battlefield one day.

So when they lost their first chance to survive, they didn't feel it was because their captain, Holly, was weak; instead, they felt the strength of the enemy and their own weakness. This team didn't belong to Holly alone.

When they lost their second chance to survive under the combined attack of the enemy forces, they didn't think it was because they were weak, but because the enemy was good at coordinating collective strength. It was also Holly's timely decision that saved them from losing their last chance to survive.

After this setback, Team R256 became even more united. They were no longer the aggressive team that had been forcibly bound together by their strength. They began to understand the power of cooperation and planning, and they learned to avoid direct confrontation and wait for opportunities... In this way, they became more focused and dedicated than before.

Although they only had one chance left, they didn't intend to hide as others had guessed. On the contrary, they were actually full of ambition and ready to take revenge on the combined force that had besieged them.

After all, although they recognized the power of planning and teamwork, those R197 squads were simply too shameless. Fifteen people bombarded their five, and in such a chaotic and utterly unsportsmanlike manner... It was nothing like the intense battle they had fought after their first defeat. Losing to this 'rabble' was far too humiliating, and they naturally couldn't swallow their pride.

So the group secretly plotted, clearing out the scattered participants along the way while observing the three joint teams from a distance. Unexpectedly, they actually managed to spot something different.

Before they could even take any action to deal with the situation, they saw the enemy menacingly surround a small team.

They thought it would be another one-sided massacre with fewer people and no skill involved, but they never expected to run into such a lively scene.

The team at the top of the leaderboard was facing off against teams R197, R87, and R117. Holly and the others naturally didn't want to miss out on this excitement, so they helped to surround and corner the opponents.

However, on their way to take advantage of the chaos, they encountered a small accident.

They didn't know which skilled stragglers had run into their crosshairs, but thinking that things wouldn't get chaotic over there anytime soon, they decided to sneak over here.

The man turned out to be quite cunning, adept at hiding, and changed his route several times, almost causing them to lose him. This only piqued the interest of R256's group. In the end, Holly entered the forest alone. They naturally trusted their captain's abilities and didn't believe this straggler who had appeared out of nowhere could overpower their team's ace, so they waited confidently outside.

To everyone's surprise, Holly hadn't fired a shot at all. And when they asked her questions, she surprisingly rolled her eyes at them and inexplicably said, "Can't you dodge? Can't you at least go a little further away..."

What do you mean, "go further away"? Didn't they tell them to wait here? Even Shore, who always understood Holly's thoughts, was completely confused when he heard this.

Holly didn't intend to explain to this group, after all, there were still people inside eyeing them covetously, and she had to leave before they changed their minds.

It's a pity he can't have a head-on battle with this unknown adversary. He'd like to know whose gun is faster, his or hers?
However, under such circumstances, it's destined that things won't be clear. After all, not only is the other person capable of standing on their own two feet, but their teammates are also incredibly strong, while his... well, not exactly terrible teammates, they're definitely dragging him down to some extent.

For a fleeting moment, Holly also considered firing recklessly, as he easily loses his reason when he's in a frenzy. While Jiang Hui was pointing his gun at him, Hillman wasn't idle either; he was aiming at Holly's group of teammates outside the woods.

So he was facing a double threat all by himself, yet his teammates seemed oblivious to the fact that someone was planning to take them down, and they didn't even bother to think about why he had inexplicably withdrawn...

Holly thought somewhat absurdly that if he hadn't been leading the team today, who knows if these men would have been wiped out by the enemy right then and there.

Was the enemy too powerful, or were his teammates not working hard enough? Holly, who always moved forward without ever looking back, unusually pondered such a far-fetched question, but he quickly dismissed this peripheral and meaningless thought.

Ignoring his teammates' doubts, he glanced at the forest hidden by dense foliage and then swiftly led his men away from the area.

Xiao Li, Mu Kun, and the others were confused, but they didn't forget their original purpose, so they quickly followed and turned their attention back to the regiment.

It wasn't until they had retreated to a location 1.7 kilometers away that the group suddenly saw Holly turn around, raise her gun, and fire a shot into the air in a certain direction before they realized what was happening.

"There really was someone in that woods just now?!" Mu Kun's eyes widened in disbelief. "Why didn't you just shoot him out? Are you crazy?!"

"You're only realizing this now... I'd be crazy to have any expectations of you guys." Holly sneered, glanced at the void again, curled the corner of her lips into a smile, and then left the angry person behind and continued on her way.

The forest returned to calm, and no one knew that the two players who had just fought the most intensely had completed their second encounter in a fierce yet silent manner.
