The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 434 Settlement
Jiang Hui had intended to find a place to wander off. However, she chose the wrong path, which meant she was completely "forced into a corner".

The two, one fleeing and the other chasing, came straight this way without a second thought, forcing Jiang Hui to flee with them.

That wasn't the end of it. Just as Jiang Hui was thinking about going around the double-track ramp to hide on the other side, he discovered that people were coming from the other side as well—the two mechs that had obviously finished clearing out that area.

Now, only five mechs are still standing. Two of them are being chased, and the other three are probably just the class teacher making a cameo appearance... This is ridiculous.

Jiang Hui and another unfortunate unnamed person were forced onto dual tracks almost simultaneously.

The so-called dual-track system, as the name suggests, has two tracks with a thin metal fence in between. For a mecha, it's as thin as a piece of paper, and a slight deviation could cause it to derail. But it's better than nothing.

The dual tracks are very spacious, with each track large enough to allow a mech to pass by. It is clear that this is specifically designed for mech operation training, but it is unclear what it is used for.

This place has now become the only escape route for the two mechs, who are in the same boat and are desperately trying to escape the pursuit of the enemy behind them.

The opponent was very fast. Jiang Hui felt that she was not able to keep up, but she was now on the same "track" as the opponent, and there was one, no, three enemies chasing behind her, so she could only keep running.

The track wasn't particularly long or short, but due to the slope and the ground material, Jiang Hui struggled to pilot his mech uphill. Because of the line of enemies behind him, he dared not slow down and could only adjust as much as possible to maintain the mech's balance and reduce drag.

“Captain Stark, is that your wife on the right? She’s very smart, and her mental perception is extremely accurate. I just tested her dodging, and the moment she dodged was spectacular; it could be considered a classic case. You should really take a good look at it later.” Lin Qi said to Stark beside him, still lost in thought.

"...You're too kind."

"Are you being modest? I'm genuinely praising her. Although she's not my student, she'll be a talent belonging to the Imperial Army in the future. Naturally, I hope our military can have more promising talents like her."

"Captain Lynch is unaware of this. Captain Stark is very strict with his students. I heard that he sometimes takes them out for practice on his days off, so his training time is probably several times that of other students. My students are different; they are very lazy and often refuse to listen when we ask them to train."

"This..." Lin Qi listened without changing his expression, but he couldn't help but complain in his heart. Was Zou Yi really good at stirring up hatred or should he be called petty? Wasn't he implying that Stark gave special treatment to students, while also subtly putting down other people's children, saying that she had spent several times more time studying but could only reach this level?

But regardless of whether Stark led the child in training, even if he did, it was through his resources and personal efforts that he achieved such a remarkable result that even he couldn't help but admire.

Furthermore, if mech piloting could truly produce miracles every year, then the military wouldn't have to worry about not being able to promote outstanding new recruits.

Besides, he knew Stark himself. Stark was known for his fairness and impartiality, and some of his colleagues even considered him cold-blooded and ruthless, like a robot devoid of human warmth. Would he really go to such lengths for a student? If so… then that student was probably no ordinary student.

Is Zou Yi so dissatisfied because he praised Jiang Hui but not his own Holly? He hasn't even had a chance to praise her yet... Isn't he just being a sore loser?

Just as Lynch was thinking of brushing this off, Stark, whom he thought wouldn't respond, spoke up: "I never gave that child any special training. Her current performance is the result of her own hard work." "If Captain Zou considers those few words of verbal guidance as extra tutoring, then Captain Zou, who holds class meetings almost every day, shouldn't you be tutoring your students even more?"

“You…Stark, you dare to do it but won’t admit it? I’ve seen you bring that student surnamed Jiang back and forth to the main mainland several times with my own eyes, even Nie Erqi was there. If it weren’t for special training, why would two mid-level officers need to guard a mere student?”

"That's right, you're judging others by your own petty standards. Although this matter has nothing to do with you, I don't want that child to suffer an injustice for nothing, so I have to defend him."

"To reiterate, I have never provided her with any special training. The first two trips were for physical treatment, and the most recent one was for the transfer of her estate. The child has been a diligent student since starting school, and every achievement she has made is the result of her own hard work."

"All of the above statements are verifiable through official records. I urge Captain Zou not to fabricate facts without evidence. If it is alleged that she was harmed during her incomplete awakening period, I will reserve the right to sue her."

Stark's voice this time was clearly tinged with suppressed anger, showing that he was very concerned about Zou Yi's baseless accusations against Jiang Hui.

"Lieutenant Zou, you were in the wrong first. I praised that child because she deserved it, and I witnessed her excellence with my own eyes. It has nothing to do with what you said. Isn't it unfair of you to judge a child with your personal emotions? You should know about the comprehensive protection that interstellar space provides for those who are not fully awakened. Don't harm them." Lin Qi's tone became unusually stern.

Zou Yi was speechless.

"Alright, that's the end of our discussion time. Don't forget what we're doing. Those two are about to jump off the slope, and we haven't even started yet. Let's hurry up."

“Since you have such objections, why not have the two children compete and push them to see who performs better?” Although Captain Lin Qi had his own biases, he knew that if Zou Yi’s prejudices were not dispelled, this pointless verbal battle would probably continue indefinitely. It would be better to give him a chance to experience it firsthand.

Given the other party's personality, if they truly remove that so-called prejudiced filter, even if they can't completely sever ties with Stark, they probably won't target this Jiang student so casually in the future.

Before he could finish speaking, a figure darted out from the side and headed towards two mechs not far ahead, with another figure closely following behind from the other side.

Jiang Hui, who was in front, was unaware of the impending danger. She and the other mecha approached the top of the slope almost simultaneously.

She assumed the other side would also have the same downward slope, but she was stunned when she looked around.

She found that the top abruptly ended, breaking off, and then there was nothing at all, just a straight line falling to the ground.

She is now hundreds of meters in the air.
