Having allocated the tools, Ella Pemberton spoke briefly.
After giving the instructions, she boarded the helicopter.
The three stood still in place.
Holding the map and watch in her hands, Flossie Wright looked up at the sky, then glanced at Jessie Grain and Nancy Phillips, noticing they were not entirely at ease, she felt somewhat assured.
It looked like—
The first three days of training had been fairly standard.
Because she had returned, was it time to get serious?
Flossie Wright shrugged her shoulders.
"I’m heading out."
In thought, she determined her bearings, waved to the two, and set off in the direction of the Base.
It was around nine o’clock now.
Nine hours to go until six in the evening.

Nine hours for thirty kilometers, walking three to four kilometers per hour.
In these mountains, that was no simple mission.
Time was of the essence.
Watching her receding figure, Jessie Grain smiled faintly and turned her gaze back toward Nancy Phillips, "Let’s go too."
Nancy Phillips nodded, took a step forward, then paused and turned to look at her, "Good luck."
"Of course."
Jessie Grain smiled warmly and nodded her head.
Failing the mission right from the start, for those with strong pride like them, would be unacceptable.
Around noon.
Ella Pemberton walked out of the Office Building, coincidentally bumping into Bard Walker, who had just returned from lunch.
"Captain Bard."
Seeing him, Ella Pemberton greeted him.
"Captain Pemberton."
Noticing her, Bard Walker walked straight over.
"What, not training those three?"
With a raise of his eyebrows, Bard Walker’s expression turned slightly puzzled as he asked suddenly.
"Hmm, not now," Ella Pemberton explained gently, "We’ve left them in the mountains."
"Oh?" Bard Walker seemed quite surprised, "So soon?"
In unfamiliar woods, it was extremely easy to lose one’s way. Even with the aid of a map, one could end up on many a false path, not knowing where it ends, one has to keep pushing forward.
This isn’t a test of physical strength, it’s about endurance.
If he remembered correctly, Flossie Wright had only returned yesterday and started training today, right?
To use such a heavy tactic right from the start?
"Yes," Ella Pemberton nodded, "It’s only thirty kilometers; they should be able to handle it."
"But, that Flossie Wright..." Bard Walker couldn’t help but say.
He was well aware of Flossie Wright’s abilities.
In the basic training, she went from being a drag to a top performer, yet compared to Nancy Phillips and Jessie Grain, just in terms of physical strength, she was a lot behind.
To start with such a challenge, wouldn’t that be unfair to Flossie Wright?
Ella Pemberton smiled, "You seem quite concerned about her."
"Cough," caught by such a remark, Bard Walker’s face turned slightly embarrassed, and he deflected, "She’s outstanding, it’s normal to take notice."
"Mariana Buck, Jessie Grain, and Belinda Nichols are all outstanding as well. In terms of overall performance, they are much stronger than the specialized Flossie Wright; how come I don’t see you taking notice of anyone else?"
"That’s..." Bard Walker was at a loss for words.
How to respond?
Who asked none of them to have a Glenn Hutchinson repeatedly reminding him to pay attention?!
Thinking it over, Bard Walker regained his composure and seriously assessed, "Flossie Wright is different from them."
"How so?" Ella Pemberton asked curiously.
"Spend more time with her, you’ll see," Bard Walker said earnestly, "In this group of recruits, she is the most exceptional. The quickest to improve in a short time, and the most stable in her emotions. I recommended her to become a sniper, not only because of her marksmanship but also her mental fortitude. You trained her all morning; you must have seen how incredibly strong her psychological quality is."
