The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 166 The Rough Start
Why did this suddenly appearing small team move in a dense yet chaotic manner? Why did they later become so careless and reveal their whereabouts over such a wide area? And why hasn't any rescue ship come to collect the "dead" people after so long...? Perhaps it's because the "people" who triggered their indiscriminate shooting might not actually be human.

Someone secretly manipulated things to make everyone mistakenly believe that prey had broken in, and then hid behind the scenes waiting for them to be exposed.

Before the person who realized this could think any further, their movements were already locked by the simulated bra. In the instant before losing their voice, they only had time to tremble and murmur, "Trap..."

But his voice was destined not to travel far, for someone struck him squarely in the back from above.

He was eliminated. The person, restricted and locked by the simulated bra, lost their support and ultimately collapsed face-down.

Even at the very end, he still couldn't see who had struck him on the back. He had been so patient, enduring until now, yet he still ended up being the one who stalked him like a mantis catching a cicada, unaware of the oriole's cunning.

Xiao Wu's fall did not significantly alter the situation; the unhurried shooting continued.

At first, the lurking figures hidden in the mountains didn't take it seriously, even secretly laughing at the man's reckless and impulsive actions. The area was so small; everyone had to shoot cautiously, blending into the fray, afraid of being discovered. Wasn't the other side just deliberately revealing their presence?

Even if you want to put in a little effort, you don't have to go to such extremes.

But as time went on, the enemy continued firing relentlessly, one shot after another. Those lurking in the shadows, who had been leisurely and even mocking their prey, could no longer laugh.

Because he discovered that this seemingly reckless act of sticking out was not a spur-of-the-moment thing or a crazy tactic; the other party had clearly prepared and planned it in advance.

The enemy seemed to know the location of each of them perfectly. In this lush, indistinguishable forest, they pinpointed every hidden lurker. Everything seemed laid bare before them.

As they approached and the lurking figures they had spotted or not spotted were accurately shot down one by one, the remaining men couldn't help but become impatient.

They were trying to pinpoint the sniper's location, otherwise they might be next. But strangely, for some reason they couldn't accurately locate the sniper's position; even the general direction was vague. It always felt like there was a layer between them—that the sniper wasn't on the same plane.

However, the other party seemed to be able to pinpoint their location accurately, and they dragged them out one by one and wiped them out.

Even at the very end, they never saw who the person who eliminated them was...

-------------

The woods remained quiet for a long time.

Not far from where Xiao Wu fell, a very tall tree suddenly made a rustling sound last Saturday, as if something was coming down.

The other party's movements were slow and deliberate, carrying a hint of caution and a probing intent. After a long while, the sound of extremely light footsteps finally broke the silence.

This time it's probably been completely cleaned up. There were no untimely gunshots, and all that answered him was silence.

The man tentatively moved around for a while before finally looking up at the person in the tree and saying, "It should all be cleared out now. Why don't you... come down and rest for a bit?"

"Wait, let's check again," the person above said in an extremely low voice. Zhou Xiuwen knew that the other party was probably still worried that someone might be lurking nearby. If they were to be caught off guard and taken down, that would be a classic case of trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead.

But look at the way you were clearing mines just now... Anyone who can stay after several rounds of probing is a true man of endurance.

He truly admired this classmate Jiang; she was bold, quick-witted, and efficient in her actions. If others could tolerate her, she could tolerate even more.

Zhou Xiuwen initially just wanted to follow someone to find a place to hide. Unexpectedly, the other party led him to this place, so he immediately made up his mind and led him to lie low until now, finally wiping out all the scattered soldiers present in one fell swoop.

That last round had at least twenty people, and they were all wiped out without even using half a bullet. He's truly an incredibly skilled person.

That's impressive, and in an extremely brutal way.

Now all Zhou Xiuwen can say is "I'm impressed".

After witnessing how such a seemingly impossible mess was cleaned up, Zhou Xiuwen truly felt that even if he were eliminated in the next moment, this trip would have been worthwhile.

He waited quietly for a while, lost in his own thoughts.

Once the people upstairs seemed to be sure it was safe, they slowly climbed down from the tree and put away their homemade climbing tools. Zhou Xiuwen then said with a hint of regret, "With so many people, there must have been quite a few resources dropped... It's a pity we didn't find any."

Jiang Huiyou shook his head and said nothing.

There was really no other way. It wasn't that she didn't want the supplies, but the situation was too chaotic, fraught with danger, and the threat posed by the lurking enemies was too great for them to risk getting those few supplies.

After all, resources can be found again, but losing your life is irreversible. This principle applies to both reality and games.

The outcome was somewhat unexpected for Jiang Hui. Although she didn't acquire any supplies, she scored a total of twenty-three points, meaning she hit twenty-three people – more than her total shooting points since the start of the competition. Even Zhou Xiuwen, who had been slacking off, managed to score four or five points.

Let alone Zhou Xiuwen, even Jiang Hui herself was somewhat incredulous that the plan had gone so smoothly until this moment. She had prepared for the worst, but who would have thought that such a crude plan could be executed so successfully.

No one expected that this chaotic battle, which wiped out nearly thirty people, was entirely orchestrated by just the two of them. They even made some interesting little tools for it.

What kind of gadgets were they? Do you all remember the "big commotion" that initially caused the shooting? It was actually created by Jiang Hui and Zhou Xiuwen using several pairs of shoes and ropes to tie up bushes and tree branches. Their intention was to create confusion and create chaos, but they never expected their friends at the scene to cooperate so readily.

They pulled the rope a few times, and those men lost their composure, firing wildly indiscriminately. Wasn't that just admitting their own position?

Then Jiang Hui and Zhou Xiuwen hid on the high ground and watched, with Jiang Hui using his memory to break through one by one, and Zhou Xiuwen checking and finishing off the remaining opponents.

With such a crude plan, the two managed to identify and eliminate all the lurking individuals lurking in this small patch of woods.
