After live ammunition was fired, their suspicions were confirmed.
"Yesterday at three in the afternoon, SWAT forces eliminated a drug cartel, but two runners escaped with the drugs, holding a hostage—a pregnant woman on the verge of labor, confirmed to be a difficult birth. If she isn’t rescued in time for surgery, she could be in danger of losing her life at any moment. Now the SWAT has requested the assistance of four of our snipers to help them in the search."
The night was pitch black, with only a few street lamps lit along the road, illuminating the scenery near the dormitory. But the light was dim, and everything seemed to be veiled in a thin mist, indistinct.
Ella Pemberton put aside her usual gentleness, her expression one of seriousness and calm.
And her voice, slowly and authoritatively, ensured that each word could be clearly heard by them.
After hearing everything, Jessie Grain was surprised, disbelief painted across her brows and eyes.

According to their current training, they hadn’t even completed one phase, and there were still many skills they hadn’t mastered. To suddenly take part in actual combat missions really seemed inconceivable.
"Yes," Ella Pemberton answered her question decisively, paused, and then explained, "Right now, the Frogman Forces have few people left, only you are snipers. You all were trained by me, I believe in your abilities, to overcome psychological barriers, obey commands, and pursue targets—can you do it?!"
Their voices rose in unison.
Ella Pemberton looked deeply into their eyes, and despite her best efforts to hide it, the worry in her brows was unmistakable.
For Flossie Wright, Jessie Grain, and Nancy Phillips, they were indeed being rushed onto the stage unprepared.
The training was only a third complete, and to start participating in actual combat now—if something went wrong, the consequences were unthinkable.
On the SWAT side, a sniper had been injured and hospitalized, unable to come out for a while, and they urgently needed people, so they turned to them.
She knew herself, with special circumstances being so pressing, it was possible to make mistakes and be of little use, able to let only Flossie and the other two step up.
Of course, choosing them was also because they already had the ability to take on missions alone.
Jessie Grain had combat experience, having been trained as a sniper in the forces before; facing such a mission should not be a problem.
Nancy Phillips also had combat experience, with two years under her belt and many missions behind her, all completed excellently.
As for Flossie Wright—
She had sharpshooting skills and mental fortitude. Though somewhat risky, Ella still felt confident in trusting her.
The three of them were far ahead compared to those inexperienced snipers.
Ability was not the issue; the important thing was whether the three of them, in a critical moment, could pull the trigger to fire the lethal bullet, to end an enemy’s life.
This was not an exercise.
They might see blood.
This was what Ella Pemberton wanted to train them in but also what she was most reluctant to train them in, a psychological skill.
"The enemy isn’t numerous; the opposition might have backup, but you won’t need many bullets—what matters is your action..."
With no time to spare, Nancy Phillips began instructing them on the details of real combat.
In contrast to Nancy Phillips and Jessie Grain’s seriousness, Flossie Wright felt sleepy but kept her eyes wide open, straining to stay alert.
Before long, without Ella Pemberton having finished explaining the detailed instructions and mission assignments, the sound of a helicopter’s rotors turning filled the sky above.
