The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 663 Just in time
"Sigh, I wonder how things are going on G's side? Have they taken it down yet..." Little A lingered on the roof of the command building, seemingly unable to sit still.

Neither of the two people in the command room paid him any attention.

He wandered around for a while, touching things and then lying down to look at something, looking incredibly bored.

377 couldn't stand it anymore and said coldly, "If you're really bored, you can go down and help with patrols. Don't cause trouble here."

Little A shrank her neck. This person seemed mild-mannered before, but sometimes he felt even scarier than 276.

If he had to choose, he would prefer to do some mindless work at the bottom. 899 is quite considerate of him, and he feels comfortable following the other party.

But who told him to sense something was wrong and come looking for someone... who knew that 395 had really run away, leaving behind a guy he had just recruited and wasn't even that familiar with to "guard the house," which was no small matter.

Xiao A noticed that someone had been replaced, so 377 naturally wouldn't let him leave. Anyway, he had been coordinating things with 899 before, and wasn't part of the regular patrol team. His being detained here wouldn't affect the overall situation, as long as he didn't go out and cause trouble.

Xiao A certainly wouldn't have thoughts like "Why did you call others but not me?" or "395 hid something from him." He wasn't particularly skilled, but he had been with Jiang Hui the longest and knew him better than anyone else.

His "boss" was so capable that it was almost unbelievable. He often anticipated his opponent's moves, and it seemed that nothing was difficult for her. He practically watched her grow from nothing to something.

Although the other party may seem to have no temper or airs, they are actually the most resistant to resistance and interference.

This resistance and interference doesn't mean she doesn't listen to others' advice; on the contrary, she's very receptive to all kinds of suggestions. If you can offer truly constructive advice, she can even admit her mistakes on the spot, without any concern for her image.

However, she cannot tolerate disobedient people, especially those who are outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant or think they are clever.

According to Xiao A's observation, she wouldn't even accept such people. The people in her team now are either smart and upright or honest.

The other person clearly has her own ideas and strictly adheres to a certain set of rules. She has her own thoughts and reasons for everything she does, and sometimes what others cannot understand may be the ingenuity of her ideas. Xiao A considers himself to be an honest person who doesn't achieve much, so he never tries to advise or interfere with how 395 does things.

Since she placed 377 and 1002 in the command room to "guard the house" for her, she must have her reasons; he only needed to accept it silently. But...

Now that he'd discovered this, he couldn't just pretend he knew nothing. Although A felt he was incompetent, he was still somewhat perceptive.

He's stupid, but these two seem like they're incredibly cunning. Who knows if they'll develop ulterior motives after they've been here for a while?!

Especially that guy 1002, he looks so arrogant and resentful. He used to be the branch commander here, who knows what kind of bad things he's up to.

395 had always been good to him and took good care of him, so A felt he should do something about it.

What's he doing? With his intelligence, he shouldn't be thinking about doing anything big. He should just stay and watch the two of them. If anything happens, he can report it to 395 in time... Well, 395 is doing something over there and has temporarily blocked his mental connection. Little A can't be contacted for the time being. This has never happened before, but there will be a time when he can contact her again.

So don't try to get him away.

Little A was considering whether to bring 276 up as well, since he didn't have much combat power and wouldn't be able to beat the two of them in a real fight. 276 was different; he was a potential violent maniac, only slightly weaker than 395. 377, unaware of Little A's wild imagination, was constantly monitoring the two links in his mental field, pondering the approximate progress.

Little A wasn't mistaken; probably for the sake of secrecy, Jiang Hui had indeed temporarily blocked her sensory connection, maintaining only a faint, almost imperceptible connection. However, the information coming from her side was known to 377 and the others.

Judging from the progress updates that came back from time to time, the other party had arrived at their destination some time ago, and everything went smoothly.

Then another new message... Hmm? New instructions?
'If I do not respond within three weeks, control or resolve the 1002 error. Errors 276 and 899 are available, and Little A can connect directly to me.'

377 suddenly looked at the person who had been silently holding his arms. The other person seemed unsurprised by 377's gaze and said leisurely, "She just told you, didn't she? Xilai is going to send people to take over this place."

A change of leadership? A new commander? No, no, this person is definitely more important than the division commander, otherwise the word "takeover" wouldn't be used. Xi Lai wouldn't send his trusted confidants, would he—he doesn't have many trusted confidants.

1002 remained composed, showing no sign of pretense. Indeed, it was only possible that he was the one who informed G about Xilai sending someone. But G gave him such instructions… Did G suspect 1002 of harboring ulterior motives?
"Don't look at me like that. I'm not making the decisions right now. I'm just here to let you know. But let me warn you, the guy coming is no pushover. You'd better watch out." It was unclear whether the other person was genuinely warning them or if there was a hint of schadenfreude in their tone.

...Friend, I'm afraid we didn't receive the same instruction.

Many thoughts raced through 377's mind. He then turned to Little A and said, "Go down and invite 276 up. Tell him we have something important to discuss."

Little A paused for a moment, then agreed with a subtle expression.

1002 didn't care about Little A or 276. He glanced at 377 and said, "That guy is about to succeed, isn't he?" He said with certainty.

At this point, 377 had calmed down and remained silent.

A certain outpost of the Western Camp

"...Yes, received—" After ending the communication, the branch commander immediately looked at someone not far away with a troubled expression.

"Just do as he says, whatever you see me doing," Jiang Hui said.

Don't act like it's none of your business! Who was the person who just used such terrifying methods to completely control our entire team? Nobody thinks they'd be a laid-back person.

Although it's unclear what methods she used to seize control of them without alerting their commander-in-chief, it's certain that they were completely powerless to resist.

The other side actually intends for them to pretend nothing happened and continue communicating with Xilai… Are they planning to slowly infiltrate their ranks through this nibbling tactic? If it were just a hundred or so people, that would be manageable, but that's over two thousand, and they're still expanding. This strategy of insidious encroachment can't be sustained indefinitely. Xilai isn't stupid; he'll eventually discover this—and then his fury will not only consume the enemies who are fooling him, but they too will not escape unscathed.
