This "do whatever the hell I want" attitude...
Well, if Flossie were a man, she’d be totally irresistible to her.
Flossie smirked, speaking casually, "Simulations must account for unexpected factors. You never know when a third-party might appear on the battlefield. Who can be certain?"
Simulations have limitations and no matter how many times they’re redone, they can’t fully replicate a real battlefield. When you’re actually out there, gun in hand, a variety of unpredictable factors can crop up. She had been in war zones in her past life and knew that oppressed locals could mount a resistance, or that some people would take advantage of the chaos for personal gain. They were unforeseen circumstances, but anyone who had a clear head could turn crises into opportunities.
True, these exercises in the Forces could be restrictive, but in such an environment, the soldiers couldn’t genuinely fight against enemies. Therefore, necessary simulations were needed.
Thus, Flossie did not reject the Forces’ simulations.
Clearly, Flossie managed to persuade Becca Reyes. After exhaustively writing self-critiques, her mind was in a highly excited state; a bit of stimulation would be more than welcome.
The darkness deepened, and the footsteps grew closer.
Meanwhile, a disgruntled Rowdy Brightwill, hidden in the shadows, glared at a clump of bushes. He wore night vision goggles, and could clearly see Flossie and another female soldier approaching. Since he sensed someone nearing, he instinctively alerted Flossie. However, he forgot that they were not professionals. Luckily, Flossie was the first to notice and dragged her companion into the bushes. From then on, they remained motionless, leaving everyone clueless about what they were planning.
But, based on Rowdy Brightwill’s understanding of Flossie, she definitely wouldn’t just sit and wait for others to pass before quietly leaving the battlefield. After all, Flossie was capable of infiltrating enemy camps and eliminating their prisoners during survival training in the wilderness.
Her actions were unpredictable.
He felt somewhat uneasy. Ever since learning that Flossie had joined the cooking class, he had inexplicably been reluctant to see her, resulting in his enthusiasm for visiting the cooking class waning significantly.
For some reason, every time he saw Flossie’s carefree demeanor, a surge of inexplicable fury would well up within him.
He always felt it shouldn’t be this way.
His childhood memories of Flossie were strong. She was once an annoying girl who followed him around like a tail, constantly clamoring about marrying him - a real nuisance. As they grew older, he rarely went back home and Flossie became more and more headstrong, so he generally kept his distance, and his memories of her gradually faded.
But now, Flossie...
To him, she seemed to have...changed.
A sudden curse shattered Rowdy Brightwill’s train of thought, making him focus on the activity in that area.
Within moments, two scouts moved ahead out of curiosity to check out the situation near where Flossie and Becca Reyes were hiding. As soon as they arrived, two figures burst out, swiftly catching hold of their ankles and dragging them backward in a textbook ambush. The moment they fell forward, the two female soldiers launching the surprise attack moved in unison to knock them down, strangle them from behind, and muffle their mouths.
"Sorry, you’re dead."
Flossie deliberately lowered her voice, with a slight huskiness to her tone. Her voice sounded strange due to the lowered pitch and the victims were too startled to distinguish her gender.
