The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 275 Chaos
R87
The group fell silent. While the others might not have grasped the full picture, they had roughly understood what had happened. Their gazes unconsciously fell on Jaidi, who was standing not far away.

All of this was done by the captain of the team this person belonged to.

The fact that the opposing team forced Pavla Lava into their team was undoubtedly to distract them. This suddenly made Jaidi's position in their team "important".

To ensure that Lin Maowu cannot easily target Pavla, they must also keep a close eye on Jaidi, preventing him from having any chance of reclaiming Jaidi's card.

Jaidi tried hard to maintain his expressionless face, inwardly cursing Lin Maowu for doing something so inhumane. "You were happy with yourself, leaving him with this mess to clean up..."

However, upon further reflection, he realized the crux of their actions. While he understood somewhat, he remained deeply dissatisfied with his current predicament and knew that the chances of him drawing his gun again were slim. These people would certainly not give him another opportunity to pick up a weapon; after all, no one wanted another backstab like that.

So who exactly attacked Tader's team? The second time it was Lin Maowu who did it, but the first time it wasn't... Who started this? Could it really have been shot by R186 during the melee?

Indeed, it seemed like the other side was relentlessly bombarding R117. It's no wonder they concentrated their firepower; he noticed that the R117 crew was quite excited and didn't seem afraid at all, so it was no surprise they got hit.

It's unclear why they suddenly stopped when the incident occurred. Although Lin Maowu and his group hadn't revealed much of their presence, the enemy seemed to have encountered something exciting and slowed their attack, as if giving them a chance to recover.

Could it be that the other side knew the inside story of their team's collaboration and was just watching the show? No, that's impossible. If the other side knew, they wouldn't have gone this far.

Both teams were quite puzzled.

"Oh, I see..." That's quite creative, Jiang Hui commented.

"Where did you get this? Why didn't you take it out and use it before?" Hillman asked curiously, looking at the periscope optical rifle in Jiang Hui's hand.

"This thing can only see things about a kilometer away, and it only has one bullet. Once it's gone, it's gone, so it's never been put into use." It's quite useless.

Jiang Hui handed over the gun, telling the other person to be careful not to drop it, as it might come in handy later.

The organizers were quite shrewd. Real-world military combat naturally requires telescopes and similar equipment, and in the interstellar era, newer telescopes are even more powerful, capable of seeing objects tens of kilometers away. However, in such a small competition, to maintain a balanced outcome, it's impossible to equip students with telescopes.

Therefore, this gun with a certain degree of farsight capability is quite rare.

Huan Xian found this in the cave. He was initially happy to have found something good, but it turned out that while it was good, it was limited and he was only given one bullet with it.

Then, the underwater scope could only see about 1.2 to 1.5 kilometers, which was less effective than judging with the naked eye. Especially in such an environment with obstructed vision, it was practically useless.

However, since they were currently hiding in the trees with a wide field of vision and didn't have to worry about enemies, this thing still came in slightly useful.

While seeing things three kilometers away was still a stretch, very blurry, the vast field of vision made it possible to make out even the faintest details. It was worth the effort of climbing to such a high vantage point. To be honest, their position at the top of the tree was quite dangerous. Jiang Hui had no doubt that if they were to fall from here, it wouldn't just be a matter of half-crippled legs; they could potentially suffer paralysis…

Just kidding, they did take certain safety precautions before coming up. The retractable belts ensure they won't actually fall, and the safety belts around their waists and the simulated bras provide another layer of protection. There shouldn't be any problems, right?

A month ago, Jiang Hui would never have imagined that she would be so daring as to climb a tree dozens of meters high to watch the excitement. But this competition, which lasted for more than thirty weeks, has really trained her a lot, transforming her from someone who would get dizzy after running ten or eight laps a month ago to someone who can now climb dozens of meters high to scout out enemy positions without batting an eye.

Although the underwater scope has limited visibility, she still managed to see some interesting things with it.

They injured their own people, but it was another team that fell. No, wait, one of them was left alive... Then the team that attacked went and rescued the person.

—It's impossible to understand the complex relationship between them without careful analysis.

However, Jiang Hui had a similar conjecture before, and connecting the dots made it all clear at once.

Could this group be a joint operation formed to exchange hostages?
Three teams exchanging hostages... Even the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods didn't go this far. How can you maintain a balance between three teams and three factions? Won't they all just shoot each other as a warning if something goes wrong? This operation looks more like suicide.

Who came up with this method? It's either because they didn't think it through or they were deliberately trying to trick someone.

It seems they've managed to barely regain their balance.

Jiang Hui wanted to see more clearly, but unfortunately the underwater camera had limited capabilities, only able to magnify a person the size of a grain of rice slightly; it couldn't get any closer.

As Hillman fiddled with the machine gun, Jiang Hui casually glanced at the motley crew of enemies.

Wait...that's not right!
She quickly asked Hillman for the rifle back and pointed the barrel at the spot where the team that had just been eliminated was.

That direction, and that angle... no wonder she always felt something was off... Jiang Hui slowly moved the port along a line drawn in her mind, finally landing it among a messy thicket of bushes.

This place, this direction, and considering the time it would take them to get there—it could only be them.

Seeing Jiang Hui slap his thigh hard, Hillman was startled. He breathed a sigh of relief when he realized that Jiang Hui hadn't slapped his injured leg in his excitement: "You scared me to death! Why are you slapping your leg like that?"

Then they heard the girl excitedly shout, "So they went over there! Our chance has come!"

Hillman was confused. An opportunity had come? What opportunity? Did Jiang Hui want to get involved in this melee, even though it was only about three kilometers away?

However... it seems not impossible given the other party's abilities—
