Meanwhile, Flossie Wright, who had been closely observing Becca Reyes’ situation from start to finish, took in everything happening below. She slightly tilted her head, the trunk of the leaf-covered tree made an uncomfortable pillow for her head. Quietly, she looked up at the night sky enveloped by the dense crisscrossing of foliage. She could still make out the vague shapes of the heavens. Countless twinkling stars adorned the sky, and when paired with the brilliantly luminous moon, everything seemed incredibly tranquil.
She closed her eyes, and unknowingly, drifted off into restful sleep.
At last, Becca Reyes never took her turn keeping watch through the night.
Because it wasn’t time to change shifts yet, the gunshot rattled everyone awake.
In the next moment after the gunshot reverberated, Flossie Wright awoke, grabbed her gun, and promptly jumped down from the tree. Simultaneously, Becca Reyes and Stuart Weston crawled out from the pile of grass, their eyes undeniably alert and cool, exhibiting none of the lethargy that you’d expect from someone who had just been stirred from sleep. Within no time, they had assumed combat mode.
"Wait, it’s not us here,"
Calvin Ramos waved a hand to stop them, reminding them.
He hadn’t slept at all, he couldn’t have just been doing nothing. While he was leaning against the tree trunk resting with his eyes closed, he has also been keeping an eye on their surroundings. When the gunshots were fired, his brain remained clear and alert, thus he could accurately discern the direction of the gunfire.
"Over four hundred meters distance," Flossie Wright, holding her sniper rifle, somewhat relaxed her watchfulness as the continuous gunfire filled the air, "I’ll go take a look."
"Let’s go together."
Becca Reyes quickly stepped forward, joining Flossie Wright, anxiously saying.
In reality, Becca Reyes was not worried about Flossie’s safety. Given Flossie’s abilities, while she couldn’t assault head-on, she would be able to hide and escape just fine. What she was actually worried about was Flossie doing something out of line. Like, what if...
In case, she decided not to leave any survivors, and wiped out the people on their own side? That could really happen.
However, Flossie obviously didn’t have as many concerns. After casting a glance at Becca, she gave a slight nod, indicating that it was alright. She then waved her toward the bushes and disappeared into the jungle, leaving no trace.
Unable to do anything, Becca had no choice but to follow closely.
"Calvin, what about us then?"
Watching these two women rush to the front lines, Stuart Weston’s mouth twitched in amusement and he turned to ask Calvin Ramos.
"Wait until they come back."
Calvin Ramos superficially glanced at Stuart and said in a low voice.
Stuart’s voice quieted. His arms crossed as he held his gun close, he raised his eyes to look towards where the shots had come from, but the dense foliage blocked his line of sight just a few meters away. He couldn’t see very far at all.
The trace of those two figures was already long gone.
"Hey, can I ask you a question?"
After an untold amount of time, Stuart suddenly turned, looking at the Calvin Ramos who was standing upright at a distance.
At his voice, Calvin slowly tilted his head, a trace of bewilderment crossing his features.
"Becca likes you, you know," A trace of wistfulness flashed in Stuart’s eyes, his brows slightly furrowed as he hesitantly asked, "But, do you really not have any feelings for her?"
The night wind was cold.
The moment Stuart threw out this question, Calvin’s pupils slightly contracted. However, just a second later, there was nothing to suggest he had been affected at all. He appeared completely relaxed, his countenance incredulously calm.
Calvin Ramos’ answer was simple and straightforward. The deep and gentle sound in his voice was as pleasing as ever.
