The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 569 Regret
Finally, Jaidi and a student from Class Two who was in relatively good condition led the way, while the rest of the soldiers followed to the temporary camp. All those who were eventually rescued were there.

Jaidi and his group were the last and most unexpected group. They had all already moved away when this group of people suddenly appeared.

They have many questions to ask about today's tragedy, but the few people in the know probably won't answer them.

Jaidi was very anxious; they hadn't been up there long. If Jiang Hui was lucky, he was probably still fighting that star beast; if he wasn't... he didn't even want to think about it.

So he practically jogged to lead the way, not caring whether the people behind him would catch up, only praying in a state of chaotic anxiety that the other person would persevere a little longer.

He already regretted it. No matter how rational he sounded, he had still abandoned the other person and left to face that terrifying star beast alone. He truly was a coward—

Jaidi didn't know what was wrong with him. He had disliked that person so much, and even harbored a secret jealousy towards her. Yet, when he thought that she might die here, losing her young life forever, he felt as if an invisible hand was gripping his throat, making it hard to breathe, and he choked up, unable to speak.

He couldn't control his wild thoughts either; the journey, though short, seemed to take an incredibly long time.

Therefore, Jaidi did not expect to make such a mistake and almost lost his balance and fell to the ground. Fortunately, the person half a step behind him caught him.

Yes, it really was a case of "catching" someone.

It was such a slender and striking wrist, yet with just a casual grip, he seemed completely immobilized.

The other person's hand was very cold, with a slightly icy feel. The moment I touched it, I felt inexplicably terrified, as if the other person were some extremely dangerous individual.

The two locked eyes for a fleeting moment. It was the first time Jaidi had ever looked at this man so clearly—he recognized him.

Over the past three years, the other party has frequently appeared in Jiang Hui's circle, and he and Hillman from Class 1 were all teammates in the orienteering competition.

This person has a very good relationship with Jiang Hui; he is her friend.

The crisis was resolved so suddenly that Jia Yidi had no time to think about it carefully. Now that he thought about it... it seemed a bit unreasonable for him to be here as the other party's student, especially since everyone except the young officer in charge was respectful and polite to him, and no one stopped him from coming along.

If Jaidi is not mistaken, although the other person's clothes do not show any rank or badges indicating their identity, they are indeed the official military uniform that the officer is qualified to wear.

Who exactly is this person? Why does simply getting close inspire such fear and even apprehension...?

"Be careful," the other person whispered, then seemed to choke and coughed a few times. Jaidi could almost smell the strong stench of blood.

A low-ranking soldier who was clearly following behind him tried to help him up, but he refused.

The atmosphere remained heavy and somber; everyone was lost in their own thoughts, and the air itself seemed to stick together.

"Stop." The young officer, who had been trailing behind and keeping a distance from the two, frowned.

"Stop."

Zong Ting walked past Jia Yidi and the other person, frowning: "The aura of an A-level star beast."

As if struck by a sudden realization, Jaidi's face paled instantly. It really was an A-rank star beast… They were right; that star beast was definitely not as simple as it appeared. What would happen to Jiang Hui?
“No mental fluctuations can be detected.” Zong Ting pursed his lips.

The scene was deathly silent; everyone knew what this meant. Humans and star beasts alike possess mental power. In fact, mental power is a crucial criterion for determining whether someone is a star beast; whether a star beast still exhibits mental fluctuations signifies whether it is still alive.

The fluctuations of a person's mental state are commonly known as brainwaves. If no brainwaves can be detected, it also means death.

So when they couldn't detect any mental waves in this area, there was only one answer: death—there were no survivors here.

"Don't act rashly." Zong Ting gripped the boy's shoulders tightly, pushing him back as he impulsively tried to run over.

This was the second time Jaidi had encountered such an unquestionable restraint today, leaving him momentarily powerless to resist.

He then signaled to a group of soldiers to keep an eye on the underage student, while Zongting took the lead and walked in a certain direction.

Huan Xian paused for a moment, seemingly lost in thought, before slowly catching up. No one knew what expression he had at that moment.

They did not encounter any living creatures along the way. All they could see were ruins, severed limbs, blood mixed with waste, and the air was filled with the smell of blood and death.

Finally, they arrived at a noticeably different place, for they saw the giant beast that the survivors had described to them.

An A-grade swamp alligator snapping turtle, a star beast with extremely high attack power, would be very difficult for even B-grade or lower warriors to deal with alone.

However, at this moment, the giant beast's neck was stiff and pointing downwards, its head and neck covered in a blurry mass of flesh and blood, from which blue liquid oozed. One eyeball was missing, and the other was tightly closed, silent and still, clearly indicating that it had completely lost all vital signs.

This A-level star beast was killed not long ago, and not even its aura and energy have dissipated.

But the person they were looking for was nowhere to be found... no, actually, the answer was already there, a cruel truth that no one wanted to believe.

Jaidi staggered forward a step, opening his mouth as if in disbelief, wanting to say something, but then found himself speechless. Perhaps he didn't realize that at this moment he finally couldn't hold back his emotions, and warm tears welled up from the corners of his eyes, flowing down his cheeks and soaking into his collar.

She's still here; she hasn't left.

The mech that had saved them all was still there, not gone, but reappearing before them in such a horrific state. He dared not look, fearing he would witness an even more bloody and tragic scene at any moment.

“It’s dead,” Zong Ting said softly.

Huan Xian said nothing; he simply nodded haphazardly and slowly moved forward.

The mecha that Jiang Hui had once shown him was now silently crushed beneath the behemoth. The cockpit was clearly flattened, with only the head and a small section below the shoulders remaining relatively intact. It was certain that anyone inside the cockpit would not have survived.

There were no mental fluctuations reported from the vicinity of this area.

No, there was nothing at all. No matter how hard Huan Xian searched with his extraordinary talent, he couldn't find a single trace of its existence.

She is dead.
