The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 789 Leaving (Part )

The three of them followed several soldiers down the narrow corridor, turning left and right. After walking for a while, the surrounding sound environment gradually returned to normal, unlike before when it felt like they were in a closed speaker surrounded by sound. They guessed they were almost at the exit.

Of course, although the information from all sides is developing in a positive direction, it is undeniable that there are still unknown dangers lurking around, so it is best not to act rashly.

The officers in charge of the escorts, in particular, became more vigilant, their steps heavy and cautious, as if they were ready for battle at any moment.

Seeing this, the younger ones followed closely behind, looking around in anticipation of any possible changes.

The various voices and spiritual energies ahead were becoming increasingly chaotic and concentrated, indicating that we were probably really approaching the exit.

Just then, a series of hurried and disorderly footsteps came from behind, a stark contrast to the surrounding chaos, and they seemed to be heading straight for them. The people leading the way stopped instantly and immediately shielded the others behind them.

"Are you guys alright?" A powerful mental force "crashed" in. Even though the group subconsciously activated their mental defenses, they were instantly pushed away by this extremely strong energy and tumbled to the side in disarray.

Before they could grit their teeth and regroup to entangle the newcomer with their spiritual threads, they heard their young master exclaim with a hint of surprise, "Huan Xian, you really came?!"

"Huan Xian!" *2
The men's murderous intent immediately dissipated. Wasn't that the name from the 19th Legion, their young master's classmate?

But wasn't this person active in the west recently? How come he's here?

The middle-aged soldier leading the charge twirled his fingers behind his back, somewhat incredulous that the person who had defeated him in that brief exchange was a half-awakened individual not yet twenty.

How terrifying! Luckily, it wasn't an enemy. The moment the opponent's mental pressure came, he felt as if he were being targeted by a ferocious beast, instinctively losing the ability to move, filled with fear and dread, waiting for the hunter to strike him down.

Is this the legendary "omnipotent knower"?
Another female soldier had accompanied the previous cleanup operation on Atlantis, so she recognized Huan Xian's face and lowered her guard once she saw who it was.

Compared to his two knowledgeable seniors, Hajircalvo had only recently been transferred to Zhou Xiuwen's side and was not even very familiar with Zhou Xiuwen, let alone Huan Xian's face. Moreover, the actions just now had instantly made him consider this person a person who needed to be highly vigilant, and even though Zhou Xiuwen was clearly familiar with this person, it did not make him relax.

Jiang Hui and the others were somewhat surprised to see this person. Didn't he say he was on a mission and didn't have time? Did he finish his mission so quickly? Or was he on a mission nearby and was attracted by the commotion here?
So it turned out he was right when he said "wait for me." The person who arrived so quickly must have been in the vicinity. He really came at the right time.

Huan Xian didn't come alone this time; he brought a squad of junior soldiers who were clearly in active duty, fully equipped and ready to fight at any moment. So, did this guy originally intend to bring people to rescue them?

Jiang Hui noticed the gracefully moving creatures on the chests of the dozen or so people accompanying him; they were the emblems of the 19th Legion.

The 19th Legion's emblem is a native star antelope, bearing a striking resemblance to the Tibetan antelope on Earth, suggesting it's a basal breed. This legion is among the elite 19 legions, yet it maintains a low profile, rarely appearing in public. This was the first time Jiang Hui had encountered soldiers from the 19th Legion in real life. After confirming they were acquaintances, both sides relaxed slightly, but the atmosphere remained somewhat awkward. However, someone immediately broke the ice.

"Looks like I arrived at a good time?" Huan Xian glanced at his friends, relieved to see they were all alright. The previous incidents had left a significant psychological scar on him and them; even someone as composed as Huan Xian couldn't help but get irritable.

"It's not exactly a coincidence, but rather that you arrived just in time. Come on, let's go eat together. It's been over a month since the unified exams, and I'm so glad to finally run into someone as busy as you." Zhou Xiuwen strode forward and put his arm around the other person.

This time, the group behind Huan Xian looked strange. They seemed surprised that someone would dare to attack Captain Huan so directly, as he was a notoriously ruthless figure in the army.

This young man, who was personally brought here by the legion commander several years ago and is said to be the son of the legendary General Huan, has broken countless records in just a few years, setting a record for the fastest promotion in nearly a century.

Although his identity was indeed special, and there were many old comrades in the regiment who still cared about the past, his advancement within the legion naturally faced much less resistance. However, Huan Xian's abilities were also well-known, and his military achievements were all real, even earned with blood. It seemed that apart from his age and qualifications, he had no flaws. It was precisely for this reason that the members of the 19th Legion tacitly accepted the special position of this Staff Officer Huan.

In recent years, this person has disregarded the military's age restrictions and officially carried out various levels of missions, performing them no worse than the elite soldiers within the legion. Although never explicitly stated, the entire legion has come to respect him to some extent. After all, in a legion with clearly defined ranks, holding a position such as staff officer or advisor carries a strong connotation.

However, all of them had received specialized training, and their surprise was fleeting, barely showing on their faces before being quickly concealed, leaving almost no trace.

Clarence's relationship with Huan Xian had always been somewhat awkward. Upon seeing the newcomer, he simply nodded calmly as a greeting.

Perhaps it had been too long since he had met with his friends. Huan Xian, who always valued boundaries, remained silent, which was tacitly acquiescing to Zhou Xiuwen's "arm around the shoulder" gesture. He silently looked at Jiang Hui, who was approaching, and said, "Long time no see. How have you been?"

"."

Seeing the other person's serious expression, Jiang Hui couldn't help but chuckle and reply, "Long time no see, Huan."

"."

"No, what's wrong with you two?! It's only been a little over a month since we last saw each other, and we've been in touch online quite a bit. We were just talking in the group chat, but when we actually met in person, you acted like you didn't know each other at all." Zhou Xiuwen expressed his bewilderment.

The two looked at Zhou Xiuwen silently, seemingly puzzled by his words. Wasn't this just a normal greeting? They hadn't seen each other for quite some time; what was wrong?
Clarence, who stood a little further away with his arms crossed, just scoffed.

Clarence: On one hand, there's that annoying, damned sense of understanding; on the other, there's that unchanging, decade-long feeling of stagnation. I don't want to be involved in either. Tsk.
