The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 340 Aftermath (Part 1)

Upon receiving the news, Huan Xian left the control room and headed straight for the V6 area, having only managed to transfer the control terminal.

It's already too late.

He ran through two or three districts and happened to run into a sergeant who came out to check the situation. He took a shortcut and shortened the time considerably before finally arriving at District V6.

At that time, Angel's transforming mech had not yet completely landed, and Jiang Hui and Clarence were still alive, but they were almost there, and the distance between them and death was only a blink of an eye.

The soldiers from the surrounding teams who had arrived later or had tried unsuccessfully before hesitated to turn their heads. Although they had witnessed far too many deaths, and this was just a minor one among many, it was still difficult for anyone not to be moved by watching a young life perish before their eyes.
"Kid, are you crazy?! Don't go over there!" A soldier from the nearby army quickly grabbed Huan Xian, who looked as if he was about to rush to the scene of the impending tragedy.

The other party was likely just a low-ranking soldier, so he didn't recognize Huan Xian and assumed he was just a civilian wandering the area. Naturally, he wouldn't let the other party go up and cause further chaos. Far too many people had already died in this melee.

Huan Xian remained silent, breaking free of his opponent's grasp with ghostly speed. His face was expressionless, except for the bulging veins on his forehead and the slightly reddened corners of his eyes, which betrayed his true emotions. He disregarded the possibility of being injured by the steel-like vortex barrier on the outside, focusing solely on approaching the central area.

No, there must be some other way, there must be—

He seemed to remember something and pulled something from inside his collar, something that looked like a necklace. He tried to tear it off, not even noticing the bloody mark on his neck from the rope. He was about to smash it through the gap in the collar—hoping that this thing would actually work.

Don't let it happen again, where being even one step too late becomes an insurmountable chasm between life and death.

But fate is something that is hard to break, like a curse—this necklace couldn't save the person he cared about most, and now it can't save Jiang Hui and Clarence who are on the verge of death.

Huan Xian arrived too late. By the time he got there, it was too late for the bystanders to do anything; otherwise, the nearby soldiers would have intervened and pulled the two who had accidentally gotten caught in the crossfire out of the way before he even arrived…

Finally, the necklace was thrown in and caught in the storm, but it failed to open due to the pressure. Huan Xian, who held the activation command, gritted his teeth and persevered, his eyes bloodshot, his mind filled with only the word "activate".

Just as everyone was watching with grim dismay as the massive fuselage was about to crash, a gust of wind rushed straight towards their faces, interrupting the life-or-death chase and instantly preventing the tragedy from unfolding before their eyes.

Huan Xian couldn't quite describe his feelings at that moment. He would probably never forget the taste of this moment for the rest of his life—the shock, anger, joy, sorrow, and then emptiness in his heart.

The center-weighted mech that suddenly appeared on the field tightly gripped the back of the falling mech. The transforming mech, which had now truly transformed, was restrained by the heavy mech and hovered halfway in the air, close to the ground. It did not fall completely, and its bottom surface was still more than 40 centimeters above the horizontal ground, providing some survival space for the people below.

Huan Xian's heart, which had been clenched since the beginning, suddenly relaxed, and he became completely relaxed, not even noticing the soldiers chasing after him pulling at him. "Do you want to die? I told you not to come near..." It was the soldier who had stopped him earlier. He was clearly very upset that he hadn't stopped this reckless young man, and he said with a hint of relief.

Teammates caught up one after another, and after seeing that Huan Xian was safe and sound, their first reaction was to check on the two boys who were still at the bottom.

However, the military squads that had been lying in wait nearby quickly emerged and surrounded the area completely. These ordinary, mobile soldiers had no choice but to stop, intending to take the unaware boy away, only to be met with the boy's cold, fixed gaze...

Watching the enemy stride confidently past the outer defenses and smoothly enter the encirclement, the group was somewhat incredulous. One of their commanders and coordinators for this operation was someone who hadn't fully awakened?!

Some might wonder, although Angel fell outside the pre-designated red area, the military was ordered to be stationed nearby. They should have intervened much earlier... How could they not have any emergency rescue measures, and instead, Huan Xian, who was from a great distance, came to try to rescue him himself?

The military also bears some responsibility. The landing area given by the reconnaissance department was too far from the actual landing point. At that time, the situation was critical, and it was almost impossible for one person to hold two people together. Naturally, no one paid attention to Jiang Hui and Clarence who approached for no reason.

Besides, even if someone noticed... they didn't really care. There were just too many people moving around like that in the venue. Besides Jiang Hui and Clarence, there were a few other people like that nearby at the time.

But who could have imagined that not only would the final landing point shift, but Jiang Hui and Clarence, who were clearly some distance away from the area, were also swept into the vortex. They were truly unlucky to become victims of this small oversight.

This vortex is no ordinary vortex; it's a radiation vortex formed by the violent combustion of the special outer coating of a crashed mech due to air friction and the ground. Once formed, it creates a thick, impenetrable barrier of radiation, locking everything within it. Those caught in it are naturally unable to escape or move, and those outside cannot easily enter to rescue them.

It wasn't that the military was unwilling to rescue him, but rather that they had already conducted several rescue attempts before Huan Xian arrived. Furthermore, this wasn't an accident in the traditional sense, and there was no reasonable rescue plan, so naturally, it failed in the end.

Just as people were about to be crushed to death right before their eyes, Zong Ting, who should have been above them, miraculously managed to stop the tragedy by piloting his mecha.

Although it's unclear why Lieutenant Colonel Zongting, who was supposed to remain above to assist in the overall operation, discovered the anomaly below and offered help, it was certainly timely. The two children were incredibly lucky; they were miraculously saved at such a critical moment.

Huan Xian entered the defensive zone.

A large number of soldiers stationed around the area had already gathered around and were orderly surrounding and guarding the damaged transforming mech, while some of them prepared to dismantle it.

As for Jiang Hui and Clarence, they have been sent to a nearby, relatively safe area to await the arrival of the mobile rescue point. Because of their special circumstances, the team has also assigned several soldiers to temporarily look after them.
