The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 277 Confrontation
Initially, Huan Xian and the others didn't notice anything amiss. After all, viewing the situation from the same plane is different from viewing it from a third party's full perspective; one's perspective is slightly less sharp. However, they did notice the unusual behavior of Lin Maowu and the others.

They shared the same initial suspicions as Jiang Hui, but didn't take it too seriously.

But they soon realized that they had probably underestimated their enemies, or rather, they hadn't expected things to change so quickly.

The rocky area where Lin Maowu and his group were hiding was indeed a good place to hide. It was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it slanted out in a ring around the area near the old L11 site.

Even with these irregularly shaped rocks providing cover, skilled marksmen like Huan Xian and Holly still faced considerable obstacles and were unable to defeat these cunning enemies in one fell swoop.

Although Lin Maowu and his group are currently trapped in the rocky area due to the influence of the situation and are unable to attack either side, this same rocky area also protects Lin Maowu and his group, making it difficult for Huan Xian and Huo Li to succeed easily.

At first, when they saw Lin Maowu and the others' choices, they thought they were going to throw caution to the wind and do something crazy. But as they watched, they felt something was off.

The opponent still had no intention of leaving the rocky area, but instead charged forward along the sloping direction of the rocky area, gradually escaping the predicament of being attacked from both sides.

The enemy gradually slipped out of their control—

Unfortunately, they were unable to secure a second chance for those two teams to remain in the league in a short period of time, and thus gradually lost the initiative.

That wasn't all. After they had run some distance, Holly and the others realized that the bushes they were in had gradually become a blind spot for attack due to the enemy's actions. They gradually lost track of Lin Maowu and the others' movements, and what was exposed to them was another team far away on the other side.

Their old acquaintance.

Teams R186 and R256 have once again met in this passive state, and R186 is still missing members.

Sensing the cunning enemy gradually receding into the distance, Holly's lips curled into a cold smile. Did they really think they could escape like this?
Lin Maowu is truly ruthless. He tore up the contract without hesitation when he realized something was wrong, and now, in order to gain a chance to survive, he's cutting off his own arm without hesitation.

It's only because those guys in Class 3 still trust them. Didn't they see how Tader's team was eliminated? Even they, the masterminds behind the plan, were surprised by the other side's decisiveness.

However, he decided to let them stay for a while. After all, he had to thank them for clearing the battlefield, creating space for him to fight his nemesis. He was looking forward to avenging his previous defeat!

Since we've already encountered this situation, let's deal with this side first... it won't be too late to deal with them later.

"They actually got away like that? Those guys are really fast... One of them must have been shot earlier. They managed to escape without a trace during the half-star cooldown time, they're really ruthless." Zhou Xiuwen exclaimed.

How could he not be ruthless? Huan Xian glanced at his teammate.

They were all watching a good show of infighting just now.

Holly and her group's instigation tactics weren't particularly sophisticated. After all, they were observing from a distance and had limited knowledge. Yet, they seized upon this limited information and, with just a little provocation, triggered a "tragedy" of infighting.

Thankfully, this was just a competition. If something like this had actually happened in real life, Tader and the others would probably die with their eyes wide open in disbelief...

Although everyone is a fake ally, and some teams even have fake teammates, it's not surprising that they are all temporary combinations.

But they had never seen such a surrealist who could turn around and shoot without hesitation. It wasn't that the opponent's methods were wrong—all's fair in competition—but these tactics were truly underhanded. In any case, it left those involved and even the onlookers with a chilling, uneasy feeling.

Such a person is naturally ruthless. They couldn't coordinate their efforts before, but now, after assessing the situation, they realized that the other side's seemingly reckless behavior was not a desperate act, but rather a premeditated plan.

The other party may have already prepared to give up a second chance to survive in order to escape danger.

"What can we do? Just let them get away like this?" Zhou Xiuwen felt a little regretful that the duck he was about to eat had flown away.

"It's a pity he finished me off with a shot." Clarence, who was usually focused on shooting and rarely participated in conversations, surprisingly chimed in with this comment.

Zhou Xiuwen was still somewhat confused.

Huan Xian raised an eyebrow upon hearing this: "It is indeed a pity... Actually, I'm quite curious whether Lin Maowu will make the same choice again?"

During the escape, it turned out that Aris's team was the first to lose their second chance to survive. Before Lin Maowu could react, Holly's team, whether intentionally or unintentionally, fired another shot at Lin Maowu's team. The two teams were evenly matched in an instant, each with only one chance left.

However, Huan Xian and the others were really curious: if they could really escape, would the other side choose to use the same method to eliminate the R197 team?

Holly did it on purpose, didn't she? She used this trick herself but wouldn't let anyone else borrow it to play along. How petty of her...

"Zhou, get up, it's time to get to work," Huan Xian reminded Zhou Xiuwen, who was huddled under the trench with his gun in his arms.

Zhou Xiuwen: ?

The boy seemed a little confused about the situation.

"Those guys have already run far away, let them be for now. We have some even more formidable ones on our side."

"Holley?"

Huan Xian remained silent, simply rubbing the gun barrel with his thumb and gazing in a direction obscured by distant trees.

This is the second time, isn't it?

--------------

"This is the second time." Jiang Hui pursed her lips.

She then stopped Hillman, who was about to flee to the other side, from attacking: "You might have to wait a while—just a little while."

Although Hillman didn't know what the other party wanted to do, he always respected Jiang Hui's decisions. He had just happened to see the group make a mistake and wanted to test his gun.

However, since Jiang Hui had her reasons, he naturally cooperated fully.

Seeing Hillman immediately stop what he was doing, Jiang Hui whispered his thanks, then gripped the holstered rifle tightly and slung it over his shoulder.

Then, following the port of the submersible, she captured the target on the other side, and spread her mental energy along the blurred line, extending it all the way to the other end. This was the first time she had attempted to extend and shape her mental energy without Huan Xian's presence, and it was slightly more difficult than she had imagined, but... she could do it!
But she has only one chance. So, let's go—
