In that instant, the desired blue smoke rose up as expected.
Accompanied by the red smoke from Sandy Cruz.
"Bang——"
To the side, a gunshot sounded.
A bullet hit her back, and Flossie Wright flinched slightly, as red smoke likewise billowed above her head.
As expected.
Setting down her sniper rifle, Flossie Wright curled her lips into a slight smile, sweeping her gaze toward the direction of the gunfire.
In a flash, she locked eyes with a pair of piercing cold eyes.
The chill was menacing, like that of a leopard’s gaze, dangerous and oppressive; it seemed to grip her heart tightly as the air rushed at her face.
This pressure was much stronger than Glenn’s.
Flossie Wright’s expression remained calm, serenely awaiting what was to come.
She had long anticipated someone’s approach.
If she wasn’t wrong, having two snipers was just the enemy’s smokescreen; their ultimate goal was still to eliminate her.
She could even guess that the sniper she encountered the morning before was also this person.
It didn’t matter anymore.
For her, the exercise was already over.
In her plan, it was supposed to end at this time too.
The sky was very dark; Flossie Wright took off her night vision goggles and did not look at the person twenty or thirty meters away.
Standing up, she slung the sniper rifle over her shoulder and walked toward the previous battlefield.

And, the other person did not bother with her either, seeing that she had "sacrificed" successfully, he took a quick glance before retracting his gun, ready to regroup with his teammates.
Back at the original battlefield.
The Blue team members had retreated, leaving no trace behind.
As for the members of the Red team, who had been completely wiped out, they had already gathered together, eating the remaining rations and analyzing the strategic flaws of the recent encounter.
Of the five people present, besides Sandy Cruz, Mariana Buck, and Nancy Phillips, the other two were frogmen.
Having undergone the same training, it was easier for them to get along.
Unlike others, who only felt dejection and complaints after failure.
In the face of this group of "top students," Flossie Wright stopped at a distance and then sat down beside a tree.
"Good work."
After a while, Sandy Cruz came over and threw her two pieces of military chocolate.
Flossie Wright waved her hand in the air, and when she opened it again, the two pieces of military chocolate had landed in her palm.
Tearing open the wrapper of a chocolate bar, Flossie Wright did not even lift her head as she replied indifferently.
After all, they had failed; there wasn’t really any sense in talking about "hard work."
However——
One interesting point about the exercise was that although she failed, there weren’t any brothers or comrades leaving.
There was no real death.
No loss either.
It was the first time she could maintain calmness and detachment in the face of defeat.
Quite novel.
Glancing down at her a few times, Sandy Cruz sat down beside her.
"Aren’t you going to accompany her?"
Putting a piece of chocolate in her mouth, Flossie Wright lifted her eyelids, looking curiously at Sandy Cruz.
Unlike her, Mariana Buck she had just seen was clearly restless.
"Mariana Buck?"
Pausing, Sandy Cruz asked in surprise.
"Mhm." Flossie Wright nodded.
Who else could it be?
After a brief hesitation, Sandy Cruz frowned slightly, his voice cool, "She’s not here for the exercise; she’s here for something else."
Flossie Wright asked nonchalantly, not particularly interested.
She was just passing the time.
