Sunlight, island, ocean.
The icy seawater severely sapped their strength.
"What should we do now?" Becca Reyes pressed her lips together, looking despondently toward Flossie Wright.
An ambush on the island was almost certain.
What was uncertain was who lay in wait— the Red team or the Blue army.
If it was the Red team, they only needed to reveal their identities. However, if it was the Blue army, then it all depended on their luck.
With a lift of her eyebrows, Flossie Wright curved her lips in interest and spoke with certainty.
She knew what Becca Reyes was thinking.
However, an ambush was just one possibility.
Another possibility was that the Red team’s outer perimeter had been breached, and the Blue army had abandoned their posts to watch for Red team reinforcements.

After all, from Flossie Wright’s understanding, the Blue army’s numbers were far fewer than the Red team’s, and whether they had extra forces to spare was another matter.
"Got any plans?" Becca Reyes asked while flexing her wrists.
If they might face combat, it was best to loosen up their muscles first.
In case they encountered danger upon reaching land, she could hasten her pace and escape.
Flossie Wright shrugged.
Not even knowing where the enemy was, she couldn’t foresee the future, much less devise a so-called plan.
What they could do was adapt as things developed.
For a matter unrelated to life or death, Flossie Wright was not particularly spirited.
Becca Reyes sighed helplessly.
"Let’s find a landing spot first," suggested Flossie Wright.
"Okay," Becca Reyes responded with an approving nod.
The area they were closing in on wasn’t a beach but rather a steep cliff with lush trees growing on it.
Such terrain made it easy for Flossie Wright and Becca Reyes to approach, and even upon reaching the edge, they wouldn’t be easily exposed.
But if someone was lying in wait above, it would be extremely difficult for them to reach land.
Two minutes later.
Flossie Wright and Becca Reyes reached the edge of the cliff through diving.
The nearly ninety-degree slope was covered in soil, with thick and thriving trees growing on it, many roots exposed to the air, though more embedded within the rock.
Just as they popped their heads out, the pair looked up to survey the situation above.
Due to the dense foliage, even in winter, there were few withered leaves, and the layers of leaves overhead obstructed their view.
What they could see were leaves, thick branches, roots, and the occasional exposed cliff face.
There was wind, rustling the leaves.
There was water, cascading down the cliff.
But, there was no human aura.
"There’s an ambush,"
Flossie Wright whispered to Becca Reyes, her voice low enough for only her to hear.
Becca Reyes was utterly bewildered.
What ambush?
No matter how she looked, she couldn’t see anything!
"Right above your head," said Flossie Wright succinctly.
She didn’t have time to explain in detail to Becca Reyes.
The other party was well camouflaged and obviously professional; they were virtually invisible to the naked eye.
Flossie Wright had made her judgment based on the unnatural movement of the branches.
Having been trained as a sniper, Flossie Wright had spent the majority of her time in the wilderness, accustomed to the particular noises that different environments produced...
