The group arrived undetected, as silent as ghosts.
Without a trace.
The wooden boat they had been on had been abandoned several kilometers away, and they had swum the rest of the way.
Moreover, even the sounds of their swimming on the water’s surface were extremely faint.
They appeared on the beach, soundless.
Flossie Wright was in a higher position, some distance away from the beach, her gaze fixed on the group of shadows crawling out of the sea, her lips lightly curving into a smile.
"Target spotted."
In the silent channel, Flossie’s slow voice sounded.
"How many can we take out?" the platoon leader asked quickly.
The group that had snuck onto the beach was a four-person team, but that didn’t rule out the presence of others yet to show themselves.
After two seconds of silence, Flossie said austerely, "One."
They could only take out one.
They were moving separately; by the time one would go down, the others would have already scattered.
Additionally, their brazen appearance didn’t rule out the possibility of sacrificing one to reveal her hiding spot.
Unlike the mercenaries and pirates she faced on missions, this time she was up against professional soldiers.
By "professional soldiers," it meant whatever you can do, they can too; whatever you understand, they understand as well.
Professional allies sent specifically to counter your team!
It could only be one!
"Understood," the platoon leader responded, then immediately issued the command, "Commence the operation!"
No sooner had his words faded than Flossie’s index finger pressed the trigger quickly. At the same time, the silhouette furthest away was shot in the head and a puff of blue smoke rose, adding a dash of color to the wisps of night.
As expected, the blue team, which had been maintaining its speed, moved like lightning towards Flossie’s position with no element of surprise.
Flossie’s lips twitched slightly.
Had they predicted she would target the one farthest away?
Sniping required time to aim, and the enemy was moving swiftly, cunningly not following a straight path but changing direction every two seconds. Coupled with the darkness of the night, even the most skilled sniper would struggle to aim accurately.
It was better to use a handgun!
At that moment—
"Bang—bang—bang—"
"Bang—bang—bang—"
"Bang—bang—bang—"
The chaotic sound of gunfire erupted.
The red team initiated an attack, with everyone hidden in the jungle rushing out like mad, shouting towards the three shadows while their firearms kept firing non-stop.
The bangs went on without end.
And at the very moment they attacked, the blue team cleverly hid in the jungle, quickly vanishing from sight, not forgetting to shoot occasional sniper rounds.
Deadly was the fact that it seemed they had eyes in the back of their heads; with every shot fired, a member of the red team would get hit.

Flossie could make out their movements with her keen eyesight, but their speed was too fast, and she couldn’t risk firing without being sure of her aim.
"Fuck, I’m dead!"
"Damn it, I’m sacrificed just like that?!"
"I can’t accept this!"
"Who the hell are these people, a bunch of ghosts?!"
Before long, curses from the red team filled the jungle.
One after another, they were fuming with anger, wishing they could turn into ghosts themselves and pounce on the blue team, beating them to a pulp.
