Edward Milton had just finished speaking when they heard a cold voice.
All heads turned to see Flossie Wright, arms crossed, hugging her sniper rifle.
"What is it?"
His voice slightly icy, Edward Milton asked bluntly.
Leaning against a tree, Flossie looked at Edward Milton with an indifferent expression and spoke directly, "I’ll provide cover, assist you from nearby."
"You’re providing cover?"
Edward Milton raised his eyebrows and his frown deepened immediately.
At the same time, including Jessie Grain, the rest of the group stared at her in astonishment.
She’s providing cover?!
Instantly, several people were dumbfounded, their jaws almost dropping to the ground.
Their first impression of Flossie Wright wasn’t particularly good. After witnessing how their captain reacted to Jessie Grain, they subconsciously thought Jessie Grain must be a more formidable figure than Flossie.
And now, a not so "formidable" character suddenly stepped forward, telling them she would provide cover.
Uh, was this not some kind of joke?
Their shocked eyes widened, and for a moment, their minds simply couldn’t comprehend it.
Recovering the quickest, Jessie Grain stepped closer and solemnly said, "I’ll accompany you."
Although they hadn’t interacted much, she knew Flossie’s personality well. At this moment, if she had made up her mind, basically no one could make her change it.
Flossie’s marksmanship and mental toughness were both strong, but she lacked actual combat experience.
Entrust the protection task to her?

Impossible.
No one felt safe.
Flossie declined coldly.
Choking up, Jessie Grain raised her eyebrows.
Edward Milton observed Flossie Wright for a long while before he finally spoke coldly, "You doubt your own ability."
"You can doubt," Flossie lightly arched her eyebrow, her tone nonchalant, "but you’re not my superior, so I question, you have no right to order me."
Looking at her with suspicion, Jessie Grain frowned slightly.
She remembered that Flossie, during training, was very compliant with any order, never complaining or resisting, no matter how tough or tiring it was.
On this mission, was Flossie being so stubborn, so out of character?
Puzzled but unable to find the reason, Jessie Grain decided to let it go.
"Flossie Wright, I can contact your captain," Edward Milton said, suppressing his anger.
I’ve never seen such an irresponsible soldier!
"Then consider it disobedience of military orders," Flossie spoke casually, "You can assume that when I say I’m providing cover, it’s just an excuse to look for an opportunity to desert."
"You!" Edward Milton was on the verge of erupting with fury.
"I’m scared to death."
Flossie added calmly.
The anger at the bottom of his heart exploded in a flash in his forehead and at that moment, Edward Milton’s eyes seemed to blaze with fire.
His fingers wrapped around his assault rifle, tightened forcefully, as if he could crush it at any moment.
"Captain, don’t bother with her."
"Arguing with her is pointless."
"It’s pointless. If she weren’t a woman, I’d really like to beat her up."
"Two hours ago, she was putting on an act, thinking she was so tough, haha, that posturing was enough."
Several young SWAT officers held back their anger, sarcastically mocking Flossie Wright with a mocking tone.
Even those who had been "saved" by Flossie on the hillside earlier clenched their fists and glared at her venomously, feeling a fury at being deceived.
