The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 200 A bright future
In the narrow, dimly lit tunnel, at the end of a pool of water whose depth was unclear, a gurgling sound suddenly came from it.

The long-calm surface of the water was suddenly shattered by some violent ripple. The water surged, as if something large was about to emerge from it. But it also seemed to be restrained by something; the surface continued to tremble and rise, but the thing beneath never appeared.

Seemingly having exhausted its strength, the unknown object suddenly lost power and sank into the water, leaving the surface still instantly.

It was as if a force was churning and shaking beneath the surface of the pool, stirring up the entire surface into chaos.

A round, unidentifiable object suddenly emerged from the bottom of the water, and its attached lower part struggled to rise to the surface.

—Suddenly, a person emerged from the water.

However, judging from her trembling shoulders and the difficulty in moving her head and neck, it was clear that her ascent was not smooth.

The other person seemed to be bound and dragged down from the bottom by something, and could not get up no matter what they did.

Seeing that the trembling shoulder that had half-struggled out seemed about to sink to the bottom of the water again, the other person suddenly rammed forward fiercely, raised his arm high, and his weak fingertips tightened instantly when they touched the rough rock surface, and he began to pull hard.

Although it failed naturally due to the wetness of the contact surface, the other party did not give up. It didn't know where the strength came from, but it desperately rushed upwards at an angle, and managed to lift the part above the chest off the water.

After an unknown amount of time, the man's hand, which was clinging to the rock, finally managed to reach a surface that resembled a platform after much groping.

The girl was overjoyed and immediately used all her strength to lift herself up, intending to use the edge of the stone platform to get out of the water.

Although she overestimated her strength, she tried again and again, and after several attempts, she still couldn't climb up successfully.

In fact, there was one time when her elbow was almost touching the stone platform, but because of the slippery surface, half of her body fell back into the water and she had to start all over again.

"Hah, hah—" Jiang Hui didn't even know how she climbed up there. Her brain seemed a bit waterlogged, she was a little oxygen-deprived, and she felt dizzy. Her index finger and the front and sides of her palms were burning with pain, probably from the abrasions.

After finally managing to climb to the top of the stone platform using her elbows as support, and feeling that her knees and calves were on the horizontal plane, Jiang Hui's heart instantly calmed down.

Ignoring how awkward her current posture was, Jiang Hui used her elbows and knees for support to practically drag and crawl away from the deadly pool, leaving a trail of water in her wake.

If someone had witnessed the whole process, they would probably understand why Jiang Hui had such a difficult time getting up. It's because she didn't climb up from the bottom of the water empty-handed; she was actually wearing a safety belt around her waist, with several ropes extending from the front and back, dragging behind her, the other ends of which were still submerged in the water.

There were even three ropes wrapped around her legs, tied in a tangled knot, which restricted most of her mobility.

Even someone who is good at swimming would probably be dragged to death if they fell into the water.

It was such a close call! If she had fainted halfway through, she probably would have woken up off the field. Jiang Hui hadn't expected to make it to the end and was prepared to be eliminated at any time, but she never imagined it would happen this way.

She can clearly swim; it would be incredibly stupid of her to be eliminated because of the frustrating fact that her legs are tangled in ropes. ...No, what is she thinking? Her teammates are soaking in the water! Two of them at that!
I hope these poor guys won't be eliminated because they suffocated...

Jiang Hui quickly untangled the mess of ropes and pulled the two people still in the water.

Of course, it wasn't done by manpower. Even if Jiang Hui wanted to pull it by hand, he probably wouldn't have that much strength now. Fortunately, there's this telescopic rope that can automatically retract and adjust, which makes it convenient for Jiang Hui to pull people around.

Feeling a slightly heavy drag from the other end, Jiang Hui breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the two people must have managed to hold on.

Upon seeing the two people struggling to emerge from the water, Jiang Hui rushed forward to help, and with great effort, managed to pull Zhou Xiuwen and Huan Xian ashore.

The two poor things were completely submerged and dazed; their struggle to get out was purely instinctive. Once they realized they were rescued, they immediately relaxed and lost all motivation to struggle. Jiang Hui had no choice but to roughly drag and pull them out one by one. During this time, they didn't even struggle at all, which was truly pitiful.

It must have been tough on them. Neither of them had ever been in water before, and one of them was extremely afraid of water. They were suddenly caught in a water whirlpool and a water disaster. After this ordeal, I wonder if they'll develop a lifelong phobia of water, because even Jiang Hui is almost traumatized by it.

If you were wondering why the group, who were floating peacefully in the waterlogged tunnel, suddenly found themselves submerged, well, that's a long story... They were caught off guard and swept here, and they still have no idea what happened.

After finding the mental energy replenishment potion, Jiang Hui and her group continued swimming forward for a while, picking up some useless little things along the way, without any major gains. Fortunately, their journey was relatively smooth, and nothing else happened.

The other two were also getting better and better, and Jiang Hui was even thinking of letting them swim on their own.

As they swam for a while, the current suddenly became rapid. Before they could react, the surrounding water conditions underwent a sudden and inexplicable change, and the water level rose sharply.

Jiang Hui and the others were startled and had no time to dodge. They were grabbed by a huge force and pulled down into the water along with the others.

This sudden turn of events caught even Jiang Hui, who knew how to swim, completely off guard. She could only instinctively struggle, trying to escape the whirlpool. The other two were even less capable of struggling; they were swept away by the torrent in an unknown direction in no time.

And then...and then they came here.

That was quite a hassle.

This place seemed unfamiliar, the very new space the group had been searching for, yet Jiang Hui felt no joy. Although they appeared to be saved, they had inevitably entered a desperate situation, especially for her two classmates…

Jiang Hui helped Zhou Xiuwen, who was coughing incessantly from choking on water, and glanced at the bright red number on the electronic screen of the other's simulated bra, which indicated that he was about to enter the bottom red line. He wondered whether he should discuss with the other party about giving him a quick kick to get him out of the game.

"Didi, the total energy block A1 has been located. The simulated bra is now in charging mode with unlimited charging capacity. You can charge freely. The supply point will open at 02:00:00 star hour. After the countdown ends, everyone here will be sent away from this point."
