Meeting her gaze, Flossie Wright shrugged her shoulders, showing no intention of answering.
The process was too convoluted, and there seemed no point in talking about it.
"How about your communication, how’s that going?"
Circumventing the bushes, Flossie Wright walked past while asking.
She had already given up on contacting the higher-ups.
Since they were all headless flies, she preferred acting on her own, but Sandy Cruz and Mariana Buck were originally here, so they might know something.
"It’s intermittent," Sandy Cruz said, looking at her.
Flossie Wright raised an eyebrow.
"It’s all mutual interference," Sandy Cruz explained, paused, then glanced down at her and inquired, "You didn’t know?"
"I didn’t."
Flossie Wright shrugged.
Besides that one time, she hadn’t received any other information and was completely unaware of what both sides were actually doing, much less how intense their secret contestation was.
After all, this wasn’t her field.
Glancing at her a few times, Sandy Cruz frowned slightly and continued, "How did you get here?"
"Our side finished up," Flossie Wright narrowed her eyes, "I just lost contact, so I wandered around."
Sandy Cruz gave her a look as if she were an idiot.
Given Flossie Wright’s attitude, whatever she said, everyone could distinguish truth from lies.
After all, Flossie Wright’s "off-the-cuff" remarks rarely contained any truth.
"I’ll move with you guys," Flossie Wright spread her hands and inquired, "You don’t mind, do you?"
"Whatever," Sandy Cruz gave what passed for consent.
Mariana Buck looked at Flossie Wright, her eyebrows lightly furrowed, yet she said nothing.
She had never cooperated with Flossie Wright before; there was simply no understanding between them.
If it were a normal mission, she would definitely have avoided Flossie Wright, but this was no place for personal grudges to prevail, and the exercise after all had to prioritize the bigger picture.
As long as Flossie Wright didn’t hold them back, Mariana Buck didn’t see any problem.
Having received their agreement, Flossie Wright moved her wrist, slung her rifle over her shoulder, and also returned her pistol to its place.
"Where is your sniper rifle?"
Noticing the discrepancy, Sandy Cruz asked, puzzled.
As a sniper, Flossie Wright was issued a sniper rifle, so how had it gone missing when she showed up here with only a rifle?
Upon the mention of the sniper rifle, images of Glenn Hutchinson crossed Flossie Wright’s mind, causing her expression to turn slightly cold.
"It was taken."
Flossie Wright replied as if it were incidental.
Therefore, Sandy Cruz didn’t ask further.
Mariana Buck looked away, ceasing to watch her.
Although Flossie Wright was a sniper, she was also a frogman. The loss of her sniper rifle didn’t mean she had lost her combat effectiveness.
It just meant a different approach.
Being "new to the scene," Flossie Wright didn’t know the surroundings and could only follow Sandy Cruz and Mariana Buck.
Their mission was to intercept the Blue Army’s attack to the best of their ability.
At 3 a.m. today, a group from the Blue Army had infiltrated and successfully breached the island’s first perimeter line; to prevent them from moving further, which could destroy the command post at any time, frogmen were split into groups to act.
Their ultimate goal, stop the Blue Army’s movements!
Having previously operated alone, upon joining Sandy Cruz and Mariana Buck’s team, Flossie Wright naturally followed the same orders.
Ambush, eliminate!
With the island being so vast, nobody knew exactly where the Blue Army might be.
Thus, until nightfall, this temporary trio had not encountered any Blue Army squads.
