The Strongest Brain in the Interstellar

In addition to Lieutenant Mace, who was still undergoing emergency treatment, over half of the fifteen students who escaped from the attacked squad were injured.

Three students sustained severe injuries while panicking and fleeing through the forest and have already been sent to the hospital for treatment. Six others suffered minor injuries but remain shaken and have been returned to the medical tent for observation after treatment. The two students who brought Mace back, Xierman and Jiang Hui, had different fates; the former had a moderate shoulder dislocation and was picked up by family, while the latter was in a coma from exhaustion of both physical and mental energy, making her the worst off among the group.

Fortunately, there have been no fatalities so far, which is a silver lining in this unfortunate situation.

The school could hardly imagine the backlash and pressure it would face if someone actually died during this training exercise. Even they could not bear the responsibility for the death of an unawakened individual.

As a result, the school administration and the officers present with authority mobilized nearly all the soldiers stationed at the school to conduct a thorough search of the entire training area, and called in all relevant personnel to verify testimonies in order to uncover the truth.

Once everyone was properly arranged and the situation was set, they finally had time to gather and discuss this unfortunate incident.

Yes, they defined this as a malicious accident.

When it comes to humanity’s development up to this point, the primary obstacle to their ultimate domination of the stars is undoubtedly the star beasts. Humanity still faces many enemies in the interstellar realm; some have been completely eradicated, turned to dust and no longer pose a threat to their survival. Others observe from a distant corner, remaining aloof yet vigilant, ready to strike at the first sign of human crisis.

Then there are those that still actively interfere in human life, occasionally emerging in various ways to deliver painful blows. Star beasts belong to this category, like thorns embedded in the lives of interstellar people.

Since humanity broke out of the cosmic domain of their mother planet and migrated to settle in the Alpha Universe, they have developed rapidly in the subsequent years. In a short span of time, they broke through the limits of previous species and created an era of civilization uniquely splendid and prosperous for humanity.

However, their lives have not been smooth sailing. This universe still harbors a significant number of star beasts, which can be considered explorers of this realm, arriving here even before humanity. They are called beasts because they resemble the animals found on humanity’s mother planet, but they are far more ferocious in terms of habits and combat power, exhibiting a strong sense of territoriality. Certain species actively attack humans, treating them as prey to be hunted. Thus, for a long time, the newly arrived humans found themselves embroiled in fierce battles with the star beasts.

Initially, people simply sought a planet similar to their mother planet, hoping to settle down and live peacefully as they once did. But how could such a turbulent interstellar environment allow them to settle down so easily?

The star beasts, accustomed to moving between various star systems or hunting across different planets, began to set their sights on humanity.

A war broke out between humans and star beasts, leading to a protracted struggle that lasted several epochs. Ultimately, humans, as highly intelligent beings with innate advantages, continuously tapped into their potential and evolved into forms exceptionally suited for interstellar survival amid ongoing challenges and pressures. They also developed numerous epoch-making weapons and inventions, allowing human civilization to gradually reach its peak.

During this war, the scattered star beasts began to find themselves at a disadvantage. Although their numbers and populations did not diminish significantly, they could no longer treat humans as prey to hunt at will.

There is no clear right or wrong in this battle… because, from the perspective of the star beasts, humanity could be seen as the invader. The two sides found it difficult to coexist peacefully, inevitably leading to a cycle of one side thriving while the other declined.

The essence of the conflict between humans and star beasts is a struggle for resources and territory.

Sometimes, even when humans sought peaceful coexistence with the star beasts, the latter found it hard to tolerate such an intellectually demanding species competing with them for resources. This often led to unprovoked attacks. Humans, at their core, are an ambitious species. While they may have genuinely desired a stable life at first, day by day, through evolution and progress, they gradually mastered the power to dominate the lives of entire species.

After exploring the wonders and beauty of this vast universe, they naturally became unwilling to confine themselves to just one or two small planets for survival. Ultimately, they truly came to dominate this universe, becoming the overlords of this region.

The star beasts had long been isolated outside the star systems suitable for their habitation, unable to enter human territories at will.

But right now… under their very noses, an inexplicable group of star beasts had intruded and attacked a group of students who were entirely in the early stages of awakening. Wasn’t this a malignant incident?

Not only within their small school, but once dawn broke, the news would be hard to suppress. This incident would inevitably become the focus of Planet 732. Therefore, they needed to investigate the matter thoroughly and provide an explanation to the public, the military, the school, and the students’ parents.

Stark had also been busy here all night, but he still felt uneasy about Jiang Hui’s situation, so he took the time to check on her. Upon returning, he naturally had to deal with that mess.

When he returned, Major Hank immediately gestured for him to come forward and inquire about the situation.

Stark then conveyed all the information he had gathered from Jiang Hui. Upon hearing this, Hank fell into a brief contemplation.

In fact, they had already learned some details from Xierman. However, since that kid was relatively young, his focus was somewhat scattered, and some things were not clearly articulated. Jiang Hui, on the other hand, was much clearer and managed to provide substantial details that allowed them to verify the points that were previously unclear.

However, these are ultimately secondary data obtained from people’s accounts. Right now, everyone wants to see completely objective firsthand information.

What constitutes completely objective firsthand information? Naturally, it includes direct evidence, traces of evidence collection, sounds, images, and so on.

“Have the people investigating and collecting evidence not arrived yet?” Major Hank tapped his fingers on the conference table.

A young officer beside him quietly replied, “They should be wrapping up soon. The latest intel indicated that there’s only one last point left to be collected.” In fact, that last point referred to the site where Mace had the incident. That location was too important, so they had someone guarding it from the beginning and sent several experienced personnel to gather evidence.

However, due to the numerous details that needed to be investigated, they still had not completely clarified the situation.
