It must have been a large group that had passed by, who did not pay attention to moving discreetly. The Blue Army Member who left, also did so in the direction from which they had come. All the traces were mixed together.
There were absolutely no leads to follow.
"The trail’s gone."
Having checked in front beforehand, Mariana Buck frowned deeply as she announced to the two of them.
Ahead on this road, there were only chaotic traces, making it impossible to discern any specifics.
Sandy Cruz’s expression grew somewhat serious.
Finding someone, even if it meant losing, could provide lessons learned. But not finding anyone at all was inevitably a bit frustrating.
Crouching down, Flossie Wright picked up a broken piece of wood, her brows tightly knitted.
Something was a bit off.
Where the other person went, let’s not talk about it for now.
But, if that person really was that capable, he definitely wouldn’t just escape recklessly.
Now, he had escaped.
By eliminating them, it would be more advantageous to the Blue Army.
"No," she said, clutching the small stick and applying slight pressure— it snapped into two pieces. Frowning, she stood up from the ground and turned to look at Sandy Cruz who stood in the middle, "He’s trying to lure us away."
Sandy Cruz looked at her and, after a moment of stunned realization, understood immediately.
Flossie Wright then refrained from further explanation.
As for Mariana Buck, after thinking it over, she also quickly grasped the situation.
The original situation was in his favor; he didn’t need to run away, nor was there any need to hide his tracks.
The reason he did this was to hold them up so that the person he was protecting could evacuate safely.
However, whom was he protecting?
This point, the three of them did not agree on.
"If he needs to meet up with a comrade, he’s still nearby."
Flossie Wright discarded her previous thought process and analyzed from behind.
If it was just as she surmised—
"Take cover!"
Realizing something was wrong, Sandy Cruz immediately warned everyone.
At once, three figures in the middle of the path dove into the surrounding bushes without a moment’s delay, concealing themselves with the greatest speed.
A "snap" sounded.
At the spot where Mariana Buck had been standing before, a bullet struck a pebble and shattered it.
Having hidden herself, Mariana Buck listened to the noise then looked back at that pebble, and finally felt a shiver of fear.
If it had not been for Flossie Wright’s analysis and Sandy Cruz’s warning, she would have been out of the exercise by now.
Someone was indeed lying in ambush!
Mariana Buck frowned tightly, her eyes dimming slightly.
She was alone on one side.
Flossie Wright and Sandy Cruz were on the opposite side.
"Which direction?" gripping the rifle in his hand, Sandy Cruz asked Flossie Wright.
The other party was clearly a sniper. Sandy Cruz wasn’t versed in sniping, so where the person was hidden was probably something only Flossie Wright, the sniper, could determine.
"I don’t know." Flossie Wright shook her head, equally clueless.
The other party’s shot was very precise, fired just as they were about to notice, and in the rush, it was hard to pay attention to where the bullet came from.
Of course, based on the angle at which the bullet hit the ground, they could also determine the direction, but unfortunately, the bullet had hit a rock, and the fragile rock had already shattered into pieces.
Flossie Wright wasn’t so divine that she could determine the shooter’s location just by observing the broken stone.
At the very least, they would need the shooter to fire another shot.
After a moment’s thought, Flossie Wright whispered, "He might have left."
Sandy Cruz, who was analyzing the situation, heard the voice and looked in her direction.
