She looked at him a few times, then Jessie Grain continued to immerse herself in the combat.
there were no more opportunities to fire her gun.
The enemy, Maxwell Moore, had about a dozen men; three were taken out by a hidden sniper, and suffering heavy losses, they naturally didn’t wish to prolong the battle and quickly issued a retreat order.
Jessie Grain did not pursue the victory, nor did she continue to shoot.
She was somewhat afraid.
Flossie Wright, are you also afraid?
Or are you, instead, completely calm?
If, after many experiences, they began to get used to it, did it prove that they were becoming cold-blooded?
She suddenly realized that since joining the Forces, no one had ever taught her these things.
Because, in her previous unit, there was no need to kill.
Soon, two SWAT officers ran towards her, just as they were about to ask Jessie Grain about her situation, they were motioned by the injured SWAT officer.
Having been through it themselves, they naturally understood Jessie Grain’s feelings.
"Captain said, we’re not pursuing for now; we need to take care of the wounded first,"
one SWAT officer said.
The other SWAT officer, along with him, stood on either side of the injured SWAT officer and bent down to help him up.
The minefield area was quite extensive, but perhaps the enemy couldn’t remember the distribution of mines, so they acted outside the minefield’s range.
They were at the edge of the minefield, so as long as they were careful, they could reach the safety area nearby.
"Is the hostage among them?"
Packing up the sniper rifle, Jessie Grain stood up from the ground and asked the two SWAT officers with doubt.
"Don’t know," the SWAT replied, "we didn’t see, nor did we find any drug traffickers."
They didn’t find them?
Trying hard to suppress the discomfort in her heart, Jessie Grain forced herself to think about the hostage, but without any leads, she then heard voices coming from the communication channel.
"No trace of the hostage found, caught a drug trafficker running in the direction of six o’clock."

It was Flossie Wright’s voice.
Calm, cool, slow, her diction clear, as if she wasn’t affected by the killing and death at all.
Was this a sign of mental strength, or—
A thought flashed through her mind, Jessie Grain shook her head, dismissing the impractical idea.
Actually, she couldn’t even imagine what Flossie Wright would look like scared; it always seemed somewhat unreal.
She should rather worry about herself.
It was only during real combat that Jessie Grain realized the gap between herself and Flossie Wright.
It wasn’t that Flossie Wright was catching up to her, but that she was trying to catch up to Flossie Wright.
This was a public channel; anyone could hear the conversations.
The next moment, everyone heard Edward Milton’s stern questioning, "Did you realize what was happening long ago?"
In the channel, Flossie Wright answered calmly.
Suddenly, everyone else was taken aback, completely unable to comprehend Flossie Wright’s actions.
"Why didn’t you say anything?!" Edward Milton immediately questioned again.
"There was a sixty percent chance that, had I spoken up, you would have lowered it to thirty percent. I am not persuasive enough to convince you, respect my decision."
Flossie Wright’s unhurried voice fell into everyone’s ears, clearly and understandably.
Involuntarily, their hearts quivered slightly.
Edward Milton had his suspicions, but he had dismissed them to the least extent possible. If Jessie Grain had made a suggestion, Edward Milton might have taken it seriously; but coming from Flossie Wright, it could even provoke their annoyance, ridicule her for overthinking, and then they wouldn’t pay it any mind at all.
