Next to the enormous flames, there was Flossie Wright adding wet wood to the side, Nancy Phillips lying on the ground, and Jessie Grain crouching beside her, feeding her water.
Three people.
They were all participants in this assessment.
Aboard the helicopter, Franklin Cody, standing by the door, clearly saw the situation below and furrowed his brows tightly.
Franklin Cody looked towards the pilot and spoke coldly.
On the riverbank, there was a large clearing, spacious enough for the pilot to land.
Understanding, the pilot didn’t hesitate and quickly maneuvered the helicopter to descend.
At that moment, Flossie Wright, who had already seen them coming, placed the remainder of the wet wood on the fire, immediately extinguishing the flames.
"Hand her over to me."
Jessie Grain had just finished giving water and heard an icy voice.
Looking up, before she could get a clear view, she saw a figure approach and bend down to scoop up Nancy Phillips in a fireman’s carry.
"Instructor Franklin!"
Recognizing the person, Jessie Grain called out, and then quickly stood up, recounting all of Nancy Phillips’s symptoms.
"Carry on!"
After understanding her words, Franklin Cody’s frown tightened, and his expression turned even grimmer.
Then, with a stern face, he held Nancy Phillips tightly and turned to board the helicopter.
On the riverbank, Flossie Wright and Jessie Grain watched the helicopter fly away.
Gazing at the azure sky, Jessie Grain slowly withdrew her gaze and whispered to the person beside her, "Flossie."
Flossie Wright looked up.
"Don’t you think, Instructor Franklin is really concerned about Nancy?" Jessie Grain blinked, a hint of teasing in her tone.
Shrugging, Flossie Wright nodded.
His face was so dark with worry; how could he not be concerned?
This wasn’t any of her concern.
"Let’s go," Flossie said indifferently, picking up her equipment.
Watching her actions, Jessie Grain pursed her lips and smiled, quickly gathering her belongings as well.
It seemed their line of thought was aligned.
In the end, they all chose this shortcut.
Regardless of their reasons, they all chose this place, which is why Nancy Phillips was discovered in time.
"Let’s take a detour."
Having packed their things and ensured the fire was out, Flossie Wright glanced at the sky and suggested to Jessie Grain.
Jessie Grain had no objections.
They had chosen this shortcut to avoid the last sniper point, but if their presence was now revealed, they believed that with Franklin Cody’s extreme behavior, he would undoubtedly take time to arrange other sniper teams on this path.
Waiting for them.
At least three sniper teams remained, and for just the two of them to confront so many at once would obviously not be wise.
Naturally—
They took a detour.
But the original shortcut, after being detoured, took them three times as long to return to their destination.

By that time, it was already eleven o’clock at night.
Ella Pemberton and her assistant were tending a campfire, roasting some Steamed Buns, and waiting for them.
"Back already?"
Hearing the noise and seeing them, Ella Pemberton paused, the anxiety between her brows dissipating, replaced by a touch of joy.
Had Franklin Cody not told her that Flossie Wright and Jessie Grain were moving together, she would have probably sent a search party out by now.
With Nancy Phillips already in trouble, Ella Pemberton was anxious enough; if either Flossie or Jessie was injured, the term ’agonizing’ would hardly describe Ella’s state of mind.
