Images flashed through her mind, along with those repeated questions.
What to say?
She certainly knew what Glenn wanted her to say.
There were many ways to fight Glenn to a standstill, but why had Flossie chosen that one particular way?
Of course, because—
It was him.
If it had been someone else, Flossie would have just stabbed with her knife, not resorting to any tricks.
But back when she refused to admit it, there were all sorts of reasons to escape, and the annoyance was but a momentary affair. However, once she admitted it to herself...
She just wanted to flay Glenn Hutchinson alive to quench her hatred.
Fucking bastard!
What was he doing, provoking her for no good reason?
The cold seawater gradually robbed her body of warmth, and Flossie surfaced from beneath the water when she reached the limit of her breath-holding.
Waves splashed, sunlight refracted streaks of light, unveiling an unusually beautiful scene.
"Flossie?!"
As soon as Becca Reyes heard movement, she heightened her alertness and looked over, relaxing only when she saw it was Flossie.
"It’s me."
Flossie, floating on the surface, raised her hand, intending to adjust her helmet properly.
Unexpectedly, joy flashed in Becca’s eyes, and she plunged toward Flossie, hugging her shoulders so tightly that it painfully squeezed her bones.
A corner of her mouth twitching, Flossie gave Becca a side glance, seizing her shoulder with one hand and pushing her half a meter away.
Becca didn’t mind and raised her eyebrows high.
Truth be told, during the wait here, she had been genuinely worried Flossie would never return, leaving her alone.
Now, seeing Flossie, the anxiety that had weighed on her heart finally settled, and her excitement was undeniable.
"Let’s go."
After straightening her helmet, Flossie glanced at her wet cuffs and said resignedly to Becca.
Becca nodded in agreement.
They were used to spending time in the sea, but they always had protective measures, and even a frogman’s diving suit was insulated, certainly performing much better than the land training suits they were wearing.
The sooner they left, the faster they would be away from potential dangers.
"Have something to eat."
After swimming for a few minutes, Flossie unexpectedly pulled out a package of compressed biscuits and tossed it in Becca’s direction.
Catching it mid-air, Becca raised her eyebrows merrily and cheerfully responded, "Thanks."
Having eaten the compressed biscuits, both replenished some energy, but their water bottles were empty and they couldn’t replenish their water supply. They had to speed up in unspoken agreement.
One, they couldn’t be caught up with.
Two, if this continued, they would exhaust themselves against the vast sea.
They must reach the target island quickly.
Morning, nine o’clock.
The two gradually spotted the island marked on their coordinates.
At this point, they were nearly spent, and they could sink into the depths of the sea at any moment.
"Flossie, Captain Hutchinson and his team," Becca looked back a few times, then strangely turned to Flossie and asked, "why haven’t they caught up yet?"
"Isn’t that a good thing?"
Swimming forward at a steady pace, Flossie asked absently.
Too exhausted and cold, moving only by willpower, Flossie had no inclination to care about anything else.
Becca swam close, squeaking with the little energy she had left, "It’s good, but it just feels...odd."
"They probably took the opportunity to sweep through the strongholds around," Flossie said indifferently, glancing at her.
Becca made a surprised sound.
Could it be that Captain Hutchinson’s real objective wasn’t this island, but—
To clear the area along their path?!

"So—," Flossie said, pausing briefly before suddenly bracing herself and then reaching out to grab Becca who continued swimming forward, "another team has already taken the lead."
Startled by the abrupt halt, Becca blinked in confusion.
As the temperature dropped, her brain also slowed down significantly.
It took her a stunned three seconds before she had a sudden realization—
Does this mean there could be an ambush on the island?!
