The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 158 Opening

Meanwhile, on the other side, in a super-large training ground several times larger than the one where Jiang Hui and the others were gathered, a completely different scene unfolded.

This area was much more lively. The usually quiet and solemn training ground was decorated in a festive manner, with bright posters and slogans everywhere. The stands were arranged in a trapezoidal shape diagonally upwards, densely surrounding the field, and everyone could clearly see the multi-directional 3D projection shown in the center of the field.

The scene in the very center is the current gathering place for freshmen, meaning that Jiang Hui and the others' current actions there will be displayed on the screen.

Meanwhile, the instructors and teachers that Jiang Hui and the others had been waiting for were also there, seated in their respective places, quietly waiting to see how their students would perform next.

Stark sat quietly in his seat, watching the 3D screen in the center, not joining in the conversation of his colleagues. The person who had vowed to watch the orienteering race with him last night was nowhere to be seen.

Instructor Tan looked around, somewhat puzzled as to why Captain Zou hadn't come. Despite always appearing as an arrogant scion of a wealthy family, that guy had a hobby that didn't match his haughty nature: he loved watching the excitement all the time.

He's not necessarily the kind of person who's looking for trouble or watching the excitement, but wherever he appears, there's bound to be someone there, whether it's a crowded place or something interesting.

Sometimes he wouldn't hesitate to speak his mind, even offering neutral assessments that contradicted his usual sharp tongue. If we were to use Jiang Hui's words from his previous life, when he wasn't being difficult, he was quite like a hot-tempered, albeit somewhat morally upright, angry young man.

Teacher Tan and the others watched with amusement, realizing that this person's personality wasn't as bad as he appeared; he was quite strange.

However, given the lively occasion and the opportunity for his own student to showcase his skills, it's quite strange that Zou Yi didn't wait here early to confront Stark.

Stark glanced at the empty spot, then calmly looked away.

Why didn't this person come? He probably can't make it, because I ran into him on a mission yesterday.

However, this was none of his business. Stark shifted his gaze back to the large screen in the center, and his eyes inadvertently fell on a small area where his students were.

These little devils are carefree, unaware that this planet, and even this entire galaxy, has been on the verge of chaos lately. Fortunately, nothing too serious happened in the end, and it's almost over. Otherwise, he really wouldn't feel comfortable letting Jiang Hui continue living here.

Unbeknownst to Jiang, her actions were being watched by countless eyes on the other side of the screen. Like her classmate, she waited listlessly for the next instruction.

However, as time went on, everyone gradually realized that something was amiss. They discovered that they had been left out of this training ground for far too long, making them wonder if they had been forgotten.

At first, Jiang Hui wondered if this was similar to the previous checkpoints where they secretly observed people, and maybe a teacher would pop up in half an hour to deduct points or something. But then she thought it was unlikely. This kind of tactic was indeed suitable for newbies who didn't know the rules during military training, and it could also give them a taste of their own medicine. But now that military training was almost over, there was no point in doing this anymore.

She's more inclined to believe the school is still preparing. Didn't you notice that apart from the essential staff, there wasn't a single teacher or instructor in the entire venue?
Just as she was getting so bored and sleepy while waiting, a sharp alarm suddenly blared through the room, so piercing that it instantly jolted all the first-year students off their feet. Could this be an air raid?!
Whether in his past life or this one, Jiang Hui is a person with a high degree of concentration. The sudden, piercing alarm startled him so much that he almost jumped up on the spot. It wasn't until the sound stopped for a while that he felt somewhat calmer.

"What was that sound? It was terrifying!"

"Could something have happened to warn us? After all, there's been no movement for so long." "You guys are too naive. I think this is more likely a different kind of test. I think we should hold off for now and wait. Maybe something will come out soon."

"But I'm still a little uneasy. Last time, I was almost scared to death by the upperclassmen who attacked me. Should we find a place to hide? Maybe it will really happen again..."

……

I don't think it's anything special, maybe it's just a ringtone. Jiang Hui rubbed her sore ears and realized that people had started to arrive in the previously empty front row.

Several unfamiliar soldiers in military uniforms appeared at the front of the training ground at some unknown time.

Several teams then entered the training field in an orderly manner, and the atmosphere inside gradually changed. The freshmen seemed to be subtly affected by the tense atmosphere and immediately quieted down.

Jiang Hui had assumed that these unfamiliar military officers, who appeared to be "invigilators," would be in charge of the opening remarks, but she was too naive.

After the alarm sounded, relevant personnel entered the venue, and the broadcast repeatedly announced that everyone should hand over any potentially prohibited items they were carrying, or face the consequences of their failure to do so.

After confirming that no one had voluntarily surrendered, these soldiers used instruments resembling detectors to move around the training ground to conduct checks.

Whether they used some method or the machine was simply too advanced, several sharp alarms sounded shortly after they swept through the area. Then, they very accurately pulled out the people carrying contraband one by one and threw them out of the queue. The inspection was very fast, and soon a small group of people had gathered.

These people included both general and military majors, both men and women, and their faces showed fear. While their numbers weren't large compared to the total number of first-year students, they weren't few either.

Jiang Hui couldn't help but marvel at how incredibly audacious these people were. What were they thinking...? The higher-ups had warned them so many times and given them so many chances, yet they still dared to harbor such wishful thinking. How were they going to extricate themselves from this mess?

Jiang Hui passed the test without any difficulty.

Those who were caught for disobeying orders due to a momentary lapse in judgment are now helplessly standing in front of the open space, waiting for arrangements or direct punishment.

In less than fifteen minutes, the officers completed their authorized search. The leader glanced at the uneasy students, clearly not intending to spend time dealing with them, and directly summoned several soldiers to escort them away from the scene.

They are no longer allowed to participate in the orienteering competition; how to handle the situation is up to the school.

The remaining people stayed behind to officially participate in the orienteering race.
