The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 108 Pit

Jiang Hui didn't expect that separating from the front would be so difficult from the back.

No wonder Hillman was moving so slowly; she had thought he was being slow because he was afraid of aggravating the wound.

Seeing the person's eyes getting smaller and smaller, Jiang Hui went around to the back to take a closer look.

Actually, this wasn't an easy task. The control room wasn't particularly large or small, but it was already rather cramped with three people crammed in. Moreover, one of the three was in this situation, so Jiang Hui and Hillman had to be very careful, lest they inadvertently become the ones who sent the instructor to his second death.

She carefully went around to the back to look and found that the instructor's back was dripping blood.

Moreover, the fang was not inserted straight in, but at an angle, that is, it was inserted from the front and then came out at a slight angle from the back. Judging from the degree of bleeding and the size of the wound, it can be determined that it may have hit an artery, resulting in continuous bleeding.

Hillman was being very careful, but he was still bleeding a lot, and more and more, so he dared not continue.

Jiang Hui watched for a while and then felt a chill run down her spine. She turned around, intending to find something else to try and separate them faster. Time was running out, and she could feel the other person's life force weakening more and more.

But then she saw the other person lower their eyes and their gaze shift. Following her gaze, Jiang Hui saw only a pile of ruins.

Confused, she looked at the other person again, who surprisingly raised their eyes to look at her.

I don't know why she actually interpreted that seemingly meaningless look as meaning "you're so stupid"...

Well, she had to look at the pile of rubble again, rummaged through it, and actually found a... dagger?
Jiang Hui immediately realized the other party's plan. Judging from the location where the thing fell, she could guess that the other party had probably tried their best, but unfortunately failed in the end.

Unsure of the material of the dagger, Jiang Hui tried it without hesitation, and the effect was indeed remarkable. Hillman stared in disbelief as Jiang Hui used the dagger, which he seemed to have retrieved from somewhere, to slice off the protruding fangs at the back with a single, swift motion.

It's making him doubt his own abilities. This seemingly weak and unassuming classmate is so efficient and decisive, it's like he can make all the decisions on his own... He really feels superfluous here.

"Come help me support the back, I'm not strong enough, I'll pull from the front." Jiang Hui called out to the person who seemed to be in a daze, put the dagger in the other person's hand into its sheath, hesitated for a moment, and then casually put it back into her pack.

After saying that, she jumped to the position of the window opening, ready to act as the pull force on this side.

The whole process was actually very difficult because the control room was at the very front, almost isolated. To get out of the control room, they had to go through a round of "high-altitude operations," with the constant danger of slipping more than ten meters to the ground below.

Jiang Hui finally stopped thinking that the things in her luggage were useless, because she and Hillman actually used a rope to carry the three of them up a smooth surface that had almost no sharp edges.

However, it's impossible to move three people down from a height of over ten meters, so...

"Hillman, where is your mode of transportation?"

? !
"You don't actually think we can just walk down from this mech, do you?" Jiang Hui's face darkened. Let alone carrying a seriously injured person, even just the two of them would be extremely difficult. What was Hillman thinking? He didn't seem very bright.

However, it's understandable, considering her age, she's the real child. It's possible she was stunned by all this; she wasn't much better off, her steps were unsteady, and she seemed somewhat unreal.

"You can take it out now, we need it now." Seeing that the person didn't react for a while, Jiang Hui couldn't help but frown.

"..." "No, you're not lying to me, are you?!" Jiang Hui suddenly raised her voice and glanced at the other person.

She felt this was not impossible. The person had seemed suspicious before, as if he was hiding something, and now that he was acting this way, Jiang Hui had reason to suspect that he had lied to her.

Jiang Hui unconsciously clenched her fist, unaware that her expression had become less friendly. If it weren't for the instructor being held up on the other side, she might have already put down what she was holding and approached Hillman.

Hillman waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, I'm not lying to you. It's just... there's a small problem. Oh well, I'll take it out and show it to you."

Jiang Hui was somewhat suspicious, but still gave the other party a chance to explain.

"...Can I strangle you right now?" Half a second later, looking at the so-called means of transportation, the girl said to someone almost through gritted teeth.

It was just a stopgap measure, a stopgap measure, and he never expected it would end up being used in this way.

But what could she do even if she was angry? The other party hadn't really lied to her, because this thing really was a means of transportation.

"So, can this thing be opened?" Jiang Hui turned his head and asked.

“Yes, you can. It’s actually really useful, you can give it a try.” Hillman tried to explain himself.

Jiang Hui's forehead twitched involuntarily, but she held back her outburst and continued to ask, "Do you know how to open it?"

Hillman shook his head.

Jiang Hui couldn't hold back any longer: "I could forgive you for bringing something you can't even drive and lying to me about having an escape vehicle; I could just admit I was stupid enough to believe you. But now you're telling me you don't even know how to turn it on... So what are you even doing bringing this thing here? Are you waiting for the school to check and deduct points? Screw you..."

Knowing he was in the wrong, the person dared not utter a word in response to the insults, and stammered, "I've seen others start it; I'll try it, maybe it will work."

They believed your nonsense, so if they had encountered the Star Beast on the way and tried to escape using some so-called means of transportation, they would probably be finished by now.

Jiang Hui realized her foolishness at that moment, having believed the other person's words without verifying them. This was probably the most fatal mistake she had ever made, and she secretly resolved never to repeat it again, and never, ever to trust what others said.

Especially after witnessing the ferocity of the star beasts and the instructors' tragic fate, she became even more aware of how dangerous this world was. In this technologically advanced world, star beasts, hundreds or thousands of times more ferocious than ordinary wild animals, have also evolved. These creatures are not even as well-managed as those on Earth, and could appear at any time in some unexpected place to take your life.

Before Jiang Hui could calm her agitated state and communicate with him, she suddenly noticed that one of the instructors seemed to have regained consciousness and was now looking at them, weak but also quite alert. Whether it was her imagination or not, Jiang Hui seemed to sense a hint of disdain in the instructor's expression?

Jiang Hui: ...

Jiang, outwardly cold but inwardly manic: Ugh, I'm going to strangle you, you idiot! Who are you trying to kill? Why did I ever trust you? I was so stupid!
Hillman, who is only thirteen years old: I must save the instructor!

Mays: Help me up, I can still live. But if I die, it will be because of some idiot…

P.S.: Haha, please be gentle with your criticism of those two reckless idiots. I know some people might dislike Hillman in this part, but his character is a spoiled, naive young master, and he's two years younger than his peers. He's been overprotected, so he acts without thinking. His audacity stems from his lack of experience; they're still young and will grow and change. This part of the story can also be interpreted as a case of fools having good fortune—two reckless fools accidentally saving someone, and Mace's survival being just a coincidence.
