The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 235 T186 Squad (Part 2)

In fact, they did argue, but they weren't really that carefree and didn't care who else was around. It was just a discussion.

Huan Xian was the first to notice it. He sensed an unusual magnetic field in the surrounding area and immediately became alert. However, he was always good at pretending, so instead of taking immediate action, he awkwardly continued to pretend to be "discussing" the situation.

Jiang Hui, Zhou Xiuwen, and even Hillman quickly sensed the unusual atmosphere around them. Of course, some people sensed it on their own, while others read it from the expressions on their teammates' faces.

At this moment, the four of them were more in sync than ever before, communicating silently with their eyes while secretly adjusting their postures and positions, intending to turn the tables on each other and let the enemy know the wickedness of society.

Surprisingly, this guy, though a bit reckless, actually had some skills. Taking advantage of the terrain, he wasn't immediately killed despite being surrounded by the four of them. However, under their relentless attacks, his movements were soon silenced, and he fell silent.

Jiang Hui gave Huan Xian a look. Huan Xian signaled her to calm down, then slowed down his firing and turned his gaze to the direction from which the bullets had come, intending to locate the trace of an enemy hiding in the shadows.

...Found it!

Jiang Hui and the others understood and aimed in the direction Huan Xian was pointing.

The trap has been dug; now it's just a matter of seeing what kind of person the other party is.

The person hiding in the shadows froze, unable to continue his escape attempt. He was caught between two equally unpredictable conditions: neither moving forward nor retreating. He had been completely exposed by the enemy.

For a rare moment, he felt a connection with Hillman, whom he had shared not long ago, and both were startled by Huan Xian's precise aura lock.

If it were just one person, it wouldn't be so bad, but there were four of them. Several of them were quite skilled marksmen, and he had no chance of escaping unscathed.

Moreover, the terrain he was in was easy to attack but difficult to defend. His previous plan had not been careful enough, and he only realized that something had gone wrong. So he was now stuck, unable to advance or retreat, unable to escape the enemy's attack range, yet unwilling to be killed by the enemy.

Therefore, he became increasingly anxious; he really didn't want to fail here. He even regretted his earlier impulsiveness, realizing he had underestimated others.

This stalemate can't go on. Jiang Hui checked the time; five stars had passed since the main energy block appeared, and not only had they failed to reach a conclusion, but an enemy lurking in the shadows had also emerged. If this dragged on any longer, things could get really messy; they had to resolve this quickly.

They now have two options: one is to immediately eliminate the enemy and clear the obstacles, and the other is to choose one of the methods they just discussed and execute it immediately, without delaying any longer.

The other option was to drag this person into it as well. They were already having these problems, and now this person had appeared—it was like a pillow being delivered when they were sleepy! It was a perfect solution to all their issues.

Regardless of who this person is, what their abilities are, or what their motives are... as long as they subdue them, their current problems will be easily solved. And they might even be able to resolve their long-standing squad issues as well.

Of course, their immediate priority was figuring out how to talk to this little lamb that had wandered into their territory. Hopefully, the other party was as easy to talk to as Hillman.

Jiang Hui and Huan Xian exchanged a glance, each slightly tilting their guns to the side, and fired almost simultaneously.

The two appeared calm and collected on the outside, but in reality, their palms were sweating profusely.

They absolutely couldn't afford to make a mistake, or their plan would be ruined. If they destroyed this pillow that was offered to them, they didn't know if they'd be able to find another one. Luckily, their skills remained as steady as ever.

Just as he managed to figure out an escape route, he moved his elbow and felt a tremendous sense of danger wash over him. Two powerful auras flew past his ears from the left and right, instantly freezing him in place.

Too close—

The fine line between life and death.

What's even more frightening is that the enemy clearly calculated his position before firing. They could have easily hit him, but they chose this method to warn him—they knew his every move.

What does the other party want to do? To play with him?
The boy in the shadows felt ashamed, angry, and, more than anything, powerless at the loss of his autonomy.

Why? He clearly swore long ago that he would take control of his own destiny, rise above others, and not rely on anyone's strength. But why... did it end up like this? Could it be that, as his older brother said, he was really just a good-for-nothing playboy?

He was not reconciled.

He truly, truly didn't want to exit in such a dismal way.

“I think you know that I can act immediately, whenever I want.” As if to prove his point, Huan Xian began to count: “Hand, left leg, right leg… uh, slightly off-center, but it doesn’t matter, there’s also the neck and… head.”

With each name mentioned, Huan Xian would pause, subtly shifting the muzzle of his gun to lock onto the designated areas. Jiang Hui stood guard nearby, ready to prevent a sudden, desperate attack.

The person hidden in the shadows had their index finger on the trigger, releasing it repeatedly before pulling it again, when they heard the other person say leisurely, "Do you still want to try? Wasn't the warning just now enough? If it were you, I probably wouldn't give you a second chance."

Upon hearing this, Hillman instinctively wanted to turn his head to look, but then realized that the current situation was not suitable for him to move, so he stopped himself.

He felt a sense of déjà vu about those words. An opportunity... to give someone an opportunity? Had Huan Xian set his sights on this enemy again?
This guy is a tough character.

Although Hillman had only traveled with his teammates for a short time, he had already witnessed their abilities firsthand. He hadn't seen anyone along the way who could rival Huan Xian and Jiang Hui's shooting skills. And this guy, who hadn't even shown his face yet, had managed to survive this long, even when he was alone – he was truly remarkable.

Can someone like that be acquired in the same way? Hmm... it doesn't seem like there's anything wrong with it.

Moreover, once they hire this person, many of their problems will be solved. So this fellow has come at just the right time, exactly the kind of talent they need.

Unaware of Hillman's wild thoughts, Huan Xian continued his conversation. However, perhaps as he said, he wouldn't give this formidable enemy a second chance, as he had with Hillman, and the conversation quickly ended.

The enemy, however, was quite pragmatic.
