The bullet fired, a hand covered her mouth, and she rolled into the bushes, all happened too quickly.
Becca Reyes had always been confident in her ability to handle sudden situations. However, Flossie’s rapid series of actions were incredibly swift. It wasn’t until she rolled onto the grass and felt the pain that her brain slowly pieced the situation together.
Firstly, Flossie had no reason to rob and harm her; secondly, although isolated, it was unlikely that criminals would dare to trespass into a military district directly; finally, all sorts of unexpected drills happen within the forces because what had just occurred was obviously blank ammunition.
She seemed to understand a bit now.
"What’s happening?"
The weeds hitting her face were irritating, and Becca Reyes frowned uncomfortably. She kept her voice low and asked uncertainly, though her nerves were already on high alert.
By this time, Flossie had already released Becca Reyes and was preparing to lurk in the nearby weed pile. She was watching the surroundings vigilantly and casually replied to Becca Reyes, "Someone is there."
Becca Reyes felt herself holding her breath, unable to breathe. The blank shot was fired right next to them. Even the dumbest would know that it was human-fired. It couldn’t possibly be some ghost playing with a sniper rifle, right?
"Three hundred meters at the front left, sniper." Flossie seemed to know her thoughts and slowly added, "Approximately seven hundred meters, two people coming this way."
Erina Taylor in the past was proficient in all kinds of firearms, partly out of interest and partly as a necessary deterrent. Only when her abilities were up to par could she deter others. Of course, she loved playing with sniper rifles and she had not only practiced shooting, but she had also spent a great deal of time researching how to hide and had specifically sought people to train some necessary sniper skills.
She was experienced in this aspect.
Even though the shot just now took her by surprise, it didn’t prevent her from accurately finding her geographical location.

A good sniper will find the best hiding spot in the shortest time, and an excellent sharpshooter’s sensitivity to bullets goes without saying.
As for the two people coming this way, they were purely attracted by the noise made by Becca Reyes. The sniper hiding in the dark was supposed to remind them to hide, but they didn’t expect to encounter the two of them who were unaware of the situation. If it wasn’t for Flossie being there, this place would have been turned upside down by now.
"How do you know?" Becca Reyes felt an inexplicable palpitation, feeling an overwhelming sense of difference out of nowhere.
Everything had happened too fast just now. Even if Becca Reyes had noticed something, she couldn’t have reacted so promptly. However, Flossie had reacted at the very first moment, stopping her, pulling her into a heap of grass to hide. Without certain experience, this level of proficiency is impossible to attain, especially when they just received three months of recruit training.
"I saw it." Flossie looked at her slantingly, her eyebrows raised in amusement, "Wanna play?"
As a fellow mischief-maker, Becca Reyes, of course, understood what Flossie was saying. She frowned slightly, "We’ve sneaked in, won’t we be breaking the rules of the exercises?"
In Becca Reyes’ self-perception, she considered herself a bold person. She was always firm in doing things and acted according to her feelings. However, after meeting Flossie, she learned what "beyond one’s reach" meant. Some people were born fearless, doing whatever they wanted. Their courage was so great that they could poke the sky if they wanted, and even if the sky fell at that time, she would drag a bunch of people with her to die.
