The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 435 Afterwards
If she takes one more step forward, the entire aircraft will fall vertically.

This is no longer a case of being "forced into a corner," but rather being driven into a dead end.

Jiang Hui gripped the main control lever tightly, using both his hands and feet, along with his mental energy, to barely stop the aircraft's movement, stopping it just two centimeters from the cliff edge.

Of course, the neighbors weren't much better off; they were probably half a centimeter closer to her.

But now is not the time for comparison. Damn it, how could she still have time to think about this? The three behind them saw that they were being forced into this situation and still didn't stop.

Jiang Hui wiped a cold sweat from her brow and began to have wild, unfounded thoughts. Could they be planning to kick them out of here? This was completely outside the scope of the assessment…

Although she hadn't tested the mecha's drop resistance, given the functionality and construction of a standard D-class humanoid mecha, a fall from hundreds of meters in height would at least render it half-destroyed, if not completely shattered. And Jiang Hui, whose mind was connected to it, wouldn't fare much better.

Jiang Hui was wondering how she should surrender—

Okay, it's embarrassing, but I can't risk my hard-won life for a little stubbornness. If she were to fall off this mech, she'd definitely end up in the hospital, even though she knew those guys would have protective measures... Jiang Hui didn't dare take the risk.

She probably underestimated the courage of the class advisors and overestimated their integrity... They didn't push her directly—maybe they felt it wasn't exciting enough.

Hearing a sudden whooshing sound behind him, Jiang Hui's mind went blank, but her body reacted first, taking a step forward.

She sensed a deadly, pointed cannon aimed at her back. If she were hit, she would not only fall, but her mech would also likely be damaged and disconnected, making the fall even more dangerous.

In this situation, although falling down would also lead to bad consequences, Jiang Hui still chose the less dangerous end.

Furthermore, if the pilots inside those three mechs are not some suddenly appearing enemy but are indeed those three, then their actions from the beginning until now have been a test, and they couldn't possibly be trying to kill her.

The attackers behind them probably didn't expect Jiang Hui to be so decisive. After all, even Holly next to her hesitated for a moment, thinking about how to dodge.

Zou Yi was caught off guard for a moment, but quickly reacted and launched a series of interconnected flying cannons according to the plan. These cannons were weapons specifically designed for flying mechs, capable of hovering in mid-air and changing their attack based on the guide wire drawn by mental power.

Although the height is several hundred meters, the size and weight of the mech are fixed, so the fall will only take a short while.

The strange feeling of weightlessness made Jiang Hui, who was in the cabin, feel flustered and even began to regret her rash decision. Would she make things worse by herself?
Almost instantly, as she overcame her psychological barrier, dozens of "biubiu" sounds filled her ears. Each sound was less than a microsecond apart, and in total, it was only a blink of an eye. Jiang Hui felt something connecting them to form an invisible, vast net in the void.

A strange array of shells hovered above her and fell with her. Jiang Hui could even clearly see the tails of these shells, which had a drag-reducing structure and looked very well-made.

Jiang Hui recognized it as a type of flying cannon, seemingly the aerial type. Although it wouldn't explode immediately, it would lock onto the target in mid-air like a fishing net, following the trajectory of the trajectory before exploding. It was said that the more intricate the trajectory of the trajectory, the greater the cumulative power, and the final explosive force could reach an astonishing upper limit. If her mecha could fly, she could move around more flexibly, but in her current situation, she could only wait to die—either she would just crash to the ground, or she would be blown up.

Logically speaking, with such a barrage of shells swirling around her, and in such a weightless state... no matter how good Jiang Hui's mecha piloting skills were, she wouldn't be able to keep up. But whether Jiang Hui was reckless or her mind was numb with fear, the more urgent the situation, the calmer she became.

Calm down, calm down! There must be another way.

Jiang Hui's pupils suddenly contracted. The missiles hovering around her, like flashing stars, quickly connected in her eyes, forming a strange "net." Time seemed to stand still for a moment, and then... then she saw a certain unusually bright point.

That's it—just start from there...and then go down...jump...and she can use the cannonball's hang time to get some cushioning.

A series of actions flashed through Jiang Hui's mind. She didn't know if it would work, but she had to try. From the moment the thought formed, her body acted before her brain could, pressing several buttons in a coordinated sequence. Then, she arched her back, slightly raised her legs, and prepared—

"She...huh?" Lin Qi was about to say something when he saw that Jiang Hui didn't react for a long time, and then he witnessed a series of actions that left him dumbfounded.

The opponent actually did a mid-air somersault, performing an incredible reverse jump in mid-air. Although it was theoretically known that the opponent must have used some special principles and structures of the mecha to achieve this, this maneuver was something that even some trained sergeants might not be able to do, let alone ordinary students.

Lin Qi had served in the military for many years and he had never seen such an operation before. It was not difficult to come up with, but there were very few ordinary soldiers who could control it with such precision.

But that wasn't all. She used the brief moment the missiles were suspended in mid-air to step onto them, creating a downward spiral along the guide wire. Then, she switched jumps before each missile exploded, using the heat from each subsequent explosion to propel the previous one, creating a cascading downward spiral.

The whole process looked like Jiang Hui was stepping down invisible stairs, with a lot of fleeting flames and smoke behind her, which added a lot of beauty to her smooth and strange steps.

Strange.

"Incredible. Stark, your student." Lin Qi exclaimed sincerely as he watched his student land smoothly on the pre-laid bouncy surface at the bottom.

If the previous dodge was a textbook example of skillful dodging, this one was an absolutely brilliant maneuver that combined technique and talent—it was truly incredible.

"Don't praise her too much," Stark said calmly. However, judging from the other man's sudden tightening of breathing not long ago, he was still somewhat nervous.

This time, Zou Yi didn't say anything either.
