If the Blue Army comes, there will still be a mission, but if the Blue Army gives up...
Then it can only be treated as a training session.
After a few seconds of silence on the channel, the platoon leader’s warning words came again, "Stay alert at all times, no relaxation is permitted!"
Upon receiving the order, several soldiers shouted unconsciously.
Then, the channel suddenly fell into an awkward silence.
Flossie Wright pressed her forehead again.
Thanks to them, Flossie Wright’s mental state had also recovered.
Lying in the brushwood, Flossie Wright moved her wrists to let her bones shift slightly.
In previous training, she had stayed on the ground for three days and nights without ever moving more than a cubic meter, so sleeping on the grass for half a day was relaxing for her.
Now that night had fallen, it was time for her to get serious about the task at hand.
Contrary to the expectations of those soldiers,
Based on Glenn Hutchinson’s words, the enemy didn’t regard them highly and would likely opt for a swift and decisive approach to conquer the island before the first half of the night passed.
The speculations of those few in the channel that the enemy might give up were not going to happen.
Holding her sniper rifle, Flossie Wright adjusted her breathing, aiming at the gradually darkening sea.
Fortunately, the weather was good, and as the sun had just set, stars slowly appeared in the night sky, faintly illuminating the vast sea outside.
The visibility was good.
After a few seconds, Flossie Wright entered a combat state.
Endless waiting.
But after being reprimanded by the platoon leader, no one in the channel uttered any more complaints.
"Starting from nine o’clock, begin taking turns to rest."
After an indeterminate amount of time, a heavy voice from the platoon leader suddenly broke the silence in the channel.
Flossie Wright made no movement.

Take turns resting?
As the only sniper, naturally, it wasn’t her turn to rest.
All she could do was continue to watch the sea for any sign of abnormalities.
That’s why—
She had rested earlier that afternoon.
In the channel, there were subtle noises, mainly of breaking branches and rustling leaves, delicate sounds that in the quiet jungle were especially clear.
Not long after, a low question suddenly floated in the channel.
"Platoon leader, what about the sniper?"
The question was intended to be private, not meant for public broadcast.
However, the person who asked had forgotten that their communication devices were all on and too close to the headset, so the voice naturally carried through.
No one in the channel responded.
But soon after, the platoon leader’s voice came, "Sniper."
"Present." Lying motionless with her right eye closed and peering through the scope, Flossie Wright multitasked and responded softly.
"Can you hold on?" the platoon leader asked.
"I can hold on."
Her voice was decisive and clear, without any hint of bravado or a dismissive attitude.
After a slight pause, the platoon leader continued, "Keep watching."
"Yes," Flossie Wright responded succinctly.
After that, she was silent again.
She continued to keep an eye on the sea level.
In the night sky, stars twinkled, and moonlight, like water, fell down, making the sea surface glisten as the light danced with the motion of the waves, layer upon layer melding together.
Flossie Wright remained still.
Time seemed to stand still as Flossie Wright lay there, like a petrified statue, even her breathing appeared to have ceased.
From a distance, not a single sign of her presence was detectable, and even her sniper rifle was hidden in an unknown dark corner.
The night deepened, around ten o’clock or so.
The seemingly calm sea level suddenly began to show unusual ripples.
Flossie Wright’s eyes narrowed slightly.
They were coming!
