The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 323 Danger
These soldiers were very responsible, quickly escorting the group towards the nearest exit, and along the way they also blocked several waves of rushing people and unidentified objects flying from who-knows-where.

The group encountered no obstacles along the way and reached the vicinity of the exit in less than ten minutes. From afar, they could see the surging crowd blocking the exit passage.

Although there were far too many people, and the sight of them crammed together was quite unsettling, this place was the exit, and passing through the exit meant they would soon be out of danger, so the group felt much more at ease.

But as the saying goes, don't be too happy about anything too soon, which perfectly describes their current situation.

Inside the arena, the two sides continued their fierce battle, oblivious to everyone else, and it was clear that the other side was about to be defeated. However, the troublemakers on the other side were still not under control.

The military sent enough people to handle the situation, but the large number of people inside the venue severely hampered their actions.

One side is fearless and completely disregards the consequences, while the other is hesitant and constrained by numerous restrictions. Even with a significant power imbalance, the situation can become somewhat tricky.

Moreover, the audacious side possessed devastating weapons, leaving the military officers somewhat overwhelmed.

Now all we can do is wait until the crowd inside has been mostly dispersed. Once these rebels have no one to threaten, they will be trapped like turtles in a jar, with no way to escape.

The military had been very careful, patiently waiting until most people had dispersed to the exits, patiently waiting until the rebels hidden in the crowd were revealed one by one, and finally patiently waiting until they exposed most of their cards... Even after all that patience, they still didn't expect that one of them would escape.

The other party is very cunning. They were not with anyone else at the beginning, and they have not made any move to stand out from the beginning. They disguised themselves as ordinary people and mingled in the crowd, patiently waiting for an opportunity.

Finally, unable to hold back any longer, he opened fire directly among the evacuating civilians.

The balance was suddenly broken because someone died.

In fact, the military has done a very good job of security. They have spent countless nights hiding in the area and making various arrangements to prevent emergencies like today and to ensure that the people on site can be evacuated as quickly and safely as possible.

However, in such chaos, accidents are bound to happen. Whether it is the uninformed public or the enemy, they are all unpredictable factors, and it is only a matter of time before someone dies.

In fact, there were some casualties during the short period of evacuation, but they were all minor and did not cause panic.

This time was different; the other side directly attacked the civilians, blasting at large groups of people.

The electric cannon is very powerful, as everyone knows. However, the previous group seemed to be using it to scare people, while this time the people who actually used it were doing it for real.

A barrage of fire swept through, limbs scattered, corpses strewn everywhere, and murky blood splattered the ground. Those who managed to escape were immediately covered in blood. A gust of wind carried the stench of gunpowder mixed with blood, and the air was thick with the stench of burning flesh. Instantly, goosebumps rose on everyone's skin as a wave of immense terror washed over them.

Faced with such danger, no one can remain calm, for they fear becoming the next victim of a tragic death.

...Then the exits became completely chaotic. The already crowded exits became even more crowded, and there was even a stampede. People were pushing and shoving each other, and the passage was filled with screams.

Jiang Hui and his group were almost at the exit, but unfortunately, the exit was very close to the accident site, only about 100 meters away. They were practically watching the accident happen.

She didn't dare look closely; all she saw when she opened and closed her eyes was crimson red, and the sounds of weeping and screaming filled her ears—it was like hell on earth. Jiang Hui had never encountered anything like this before. Back on Earth, she hardly ever watched war movies, living in a completely peaceful era, under the protection of one of the most responsible and united countries in the world. She had never experienced anything like this before.

She had seen it all in an instant, and she couldn't quite describe how she felt.

It's too close... and it's too tragic.

Whether it was her imagination or not, Jiang Hui even heard the sounds of children crying for their mothers in the distance, girls mournfully calling for their deceased partners, and fathers searching everywhere for their lost children... Is this the world she is in now? It's terrifying.

This is a chaotic world with few moral boundaries.

"What are you standing there for? Let's go!" Clarence grabbed Jiang Hui and pushed Hillman, who was still wide-eyed and unable to react, forward as if he wanted to leave the horrific scene behind.

Only Jiang Hui knew that the other person's hand, which was holding hers, was cold and trembling slightly, revealing their extreme unease.

The soldiers guarding them also tightened their grip, looking tense and frequently glancing in that direction.

"Boom—" Another sound.

They were very close again this time; I wonder what other unfortunate people have suffered this time.

Jiang Hui and the others had already squeezed their way to the vicinity of the passage entrance, but because there were so many people, they could only wait outside for the crowd to move forward, no matter how anxious they were. After all, they couldn't very well ask these soldiers to clear a path for them; that would be too shameless.

Meanwhile, the bombing grew louder and louder, sometimes near, sometimes far, the most recent one even seemed to be right next to their ears, and the crowd became increasingly agitated.

"Ding ding ding—" A sharp alarm sounded from the other end. The sound was loud and penetrating, piercing through the air and landing in everyone's ears like a violent tremor.

The soldiers who had been scattered around the group changed their expressions drastically. Jiang Hui clearly saw one of them subconsciously take two steps forward, then abruptly pull back as if remembering something, looking hesitant.

What happened over there? What happened that made even these soldiers' expressions change so drastically? These men were assigned by Zhou Xiuwen to protect them, and that's probably why the other side didn't dare to act. Jiang Hui's thoughts were very clear.

"What happened over there? Is it related to Zhou?" Jiang Hui couldn't help but ask directly, pressing the issue.

The person being questioned by Jiang Hui looked surprised, clearly not expecting it, and he paused for a moment.

"Ding ding ding—ding ding—" The sound, several times sharper than before, continued, further fueling the anxiety and fear among the crowd.

"It has nothing to do with Counselor Zhou. This is an alarm signaling nearby troops to come to their aid. They... are probably facing some difficulties." This time, it was another soldier who answered. The other soldier stared intently at the location from which the sound came, his gaze deep and serious.

The chapter number is wrong. This chapter is locked and cannot be changed. I will change the chapter number to the next chapter tomorrow.
