The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 233 T186 Squad (Part 1)

"What a clever little devil," Captain Lin Qi commented.

Let alone these children, even they might not be able to react so quickly.

Because the competition was designed differently this year than in the past—previously it was mostly designed collaboratively by teachers from various fields—it was designed by Dennis, a significant change. As a result, almost all teachers were unclear about the competition process this year; even grade-level instructors only had a written summary list.

It's not that Dennis designed the challenges to be particularly difficult. After all, it was just a small test for incoming freshmen. The competition didn't involve large-scale impact weapons or mecha combat, so it had to be within the children's capabilities. Otherwise, it would lose its competitive spirit.

Although this is just a competition consisting of a few simple steps, it is extremely challenging for the participants to adapt to the situation. Each step is interconnected and one task follows another. Anyone who is slightly lacking in ability will be eliminated quickly, and those who do not like to use their brains or are unlucky will also face the risk of elimination at any time.

Denis had thought things through very thoroughly. He fully considered the potential that an untrained student could unleash and the qualities that would be displayed in a critical moment. There was no doubt that those who made it to the end would be the best among all the contestants.

Of course, this is only from their perspective as students. Most of those present were soldiers who had been trained for many years, and many had even undergone practical training on the battlefield. In any case, they were all real soldiers who had come from real combat. If they couldn't compete with a group of students, then all their years of hard work would have been for nothing.

The three most promising teams among the remaining students are the squad led by Holly from Class 1 of the Combat Individual Department, the team led by Jiang Hui from Class 2, and the team led by the Lava siblings from Class 3.

It's actually quite evenly distributed, with one of the three potential teams per class. In the military-related professional competition area, it can be said that the individual combat specialists have almost completely dominated.

Of course, this does not mean that all these students are from the combat individual training program, but rather that, given the current situation, the leaders and representatives happen to come from these three classes respectively.

The most diverse group among the three teams is the T186 temporary team, where Jiang Hui is located. Each member comes from a different class and even includes students from three different majors, each with their own unique abilities.

The most aggressive unit was Holly's R256 squad, whose five members were all highly targeted and specifically chosen attackers. They required almost no coordination; their attacks were their only form of cooperation. The strongest member naturally held the power to dominate the squad.

While the R197 team, led by the Lava siblings from Class 3, wasn't as dazzling as the two teams mentioned above, they were the only team composed entirely of members from Class 3. Having trained together for nearly a month, their familiarity with each other was unmatched by other teams, a significant advantage that made their teamwork and coordination effortless.

However, the most eye-catching team among these three teams is actually a temporary team.

What's most striking about them isn't just their achievements, but also the entire process of their team formation. Unlike the awkwardness or predictability of others, it felt like everything flowed naturally. Each encounter was perfectly timed, as if preordained. And as for teamwork, these four could be described as quite in sync, or completely lacking in synergy. At times, each person was acting independently, yet the final result was remarkably harmonious. They were truly a rather peculiar team; one wonders what new perspective their search for the final member will bring them.

These four... aside from Jiang Hui and Huan Xian, whom we've already analyzed extensively, the newly joined Hillman, though not yet fully revealed, is actually quite resilient at heart; otherwise, he wouldn't have fought so hard for revenge for so long. It's just that we haven't yet seen any particularly outstanding or remarkable aspects of him. Of the four, only Zhou Xiuwen and the others are still unsure.

To be honest, this person's name had already resounded throughout the entire school from the very first day he entered. Whether they had met him or not, they had at least heard of him and almost everyone knew about his incredibly powerful background. Although he was excessively low-key during his time at school, no one would forget who he was.

Most people who have met him think that this young master Zhou is not the same kind of person as his father. He seems to be too gentle, carefree, and completely like a young master who is not interested in worldly affairs.

However, during the match, his opponent's performance gradually changed everyone's impression of him; he was definitely not as ordinary and simple as he appeared.

A student with no prior record of command training possessed an innate talent for command, even mastering it on the spot, though this could be attributed to inheritance from his father, Marshal Zhou. However, it was clear this prominent figure had no intention of grooming his only son for this path, and the father and son seemed content with an ordinary life.

But to call him ordinary... that doesn't seem quite right. His opponent in the competition was not only quick-witted and highly adaptable, but also possessed a rudimentary understanding of medicine and various forms of wilderness knowledge... This doesn't seem like the standard for raising an ordinary person. Does Marshal Zhou really want this child to be an ordinary person? Or is it that a family like this can't possibly raise an mediocre person no matter what?
If the above are just basic qualities, not only Zhou Xiuwen has them, but Jiang Hui and Huan Xian also have them or are even better at them. However, the fact that the other party stopped his companions from immediately entering the charging range is truly surprising.

They had seen these energy blocks at the supply points before, and they were exactly what the students needed most right now. Almost any student would step forward and activate them without hesitation, making it hard to imagine that the competition organizers might have fallen into a trap behind the scenes.

Huan Xian and Jiang Hui had also thought of this, but they only considered the lack of a marker and didn't connect it to the overall energy conversion. Only Zhou Xiuwen realized this was wrong and persuaded his teammates to stop, overruling their objections.

In the end, he was right. Almost everyone, even Holly from Class One, jumped into the trap without thinking, revealing their whereabouts—except for the four of them.

Everyone else revealed their positions immediately except for themselves, which puts them in an invincible position from the start. With proper planning, seizing the initiative is not impossible.

"Well done, T186 squad! They really got this sorted out." Xia Li Fang from the seventh squad couldn't help but applaud and laugh. She was a very calm female officer who had to retire to a civilian position due to injury in her early years. In recent years, she had been involved in military academy education, always teaching her students with utmost dedication. She had been quietly watching her students compete since the start of the competition, rarely expressing her opinions. Seeing this, even she couldn't help but praise them.

Now it remains to be seen what their plans will be...
