"True that. Speaking of Jessie Grain, she’s much easier to deal with. At the very least... tsk, she seems normal."
"Right, Flossie Wright, no matter how you look at her, she’s not normal."
The one with the injured thigh nodded in agreement.
Meanwhile—
Flossie Wright, who was silently walking more than ten meters away, heard the words "not normal," hesitated slightly in her stride, and unconsciously looked through the bushes at the two of them.
The two were so engrossed in their conversation that they didn’t notice her at all.
Frowning, Flossie Wright withdrew her gaze, slung the sniper rifle over her shoulder, and continued to leave without a sound.
About a quarter of an hour later, the two of them finally became aware of a strange phenomenon.
"It’s been so long, why hasn’t Flossie Wright come over?"
The SWAT officer who had been shot in the shoulder shifted his body and couldn’t help but frown with confusion.
"That’s not right," the one with the injured thigh became equally puzzled, "Fifteen minutes, she should have crawled over by now."
"Could it be—"
"Could it be—"
Their voices trailed off as they exchanged looks.
Then, they had an epiphany.
Given this pace, she must have silently crossed by them, right?
After all, the minefield wasn’t very large, just a two to three hundred meters across, so it was impossible for her not to have shown up after so much time.
The only possibility was—
Flossie Wright had already left through some other path a long time ago.
"Forget about it. We weren’t exactly nice to her before; it’s normal she wouldn’t want to see us," the Criminal Police with the shoulder wound said with a helpless gesture.
"Indeed," the one with the injured thigh nodded, "But I’m actually more worried about the other sniper, Jessie Grain. She’s a good shot, easygoing, and it seemed like this was her first time firing a gun. I’m afraid she might run into trouble on her way."
"Don’t worry, the Captain will guide her. She knows the mission is what matters most. Otherwise, their Captain wouldn’t have sent them over, right?"
"Yeah, let’s hope so." The one with the injured thigh agreed.
Around ten in the morning.
After a few hours of trekking, they finally spotted traces of the enemy.
The enemies seemed to be extremely familiar with the mountainous terrain, moving rapidly, knowing where shortcuts were and how to create obstacles. Without the assistance of tracker dogs, they would have had no chance of keeping up.
The gunfight erupted the moment they ran into them.
"Bang— Bang— Bang—"
The sounds of machine guns, submachine guns, automatic rifles, and pistols—each lethal in its way—once again shattered the silence of the tranquil woods.
Jessie Grain and Flossie Wright quickly found good positions to hide and cover the Criminal Police on their side.
Nobody expected that the group they had been pursuing wasn’t fleeing but luring them into a trap.

They had thought they’d gained the upper hand and cornered the enemy, but the situation flipped a complete 180 in the blink of an eye, catching them totally off guard.
There was an ambush!
Two snipers, two assaulters, had been lying in wait there all along.
The enemy had come specifically for them!
The battle had just begun, and one of the Criminal Police was already shot, falling to the ground, lifeless or alive unknown.
The situation immediately became tense.
Flossie Wright, already wary, became even more serious upon seeing this scene unfold, calming herself down.
It should have been expected!
If the enemy had time to lay mines and set up an ambush instead of fleeing, they must have targeted someone specific among them!
