Conversation over.
Picking up the sniper rifle, Nancy Phillips eyed Flossie Wright a few times and couldn’t help frowning to ask, "Who else is there?"
"Sandy Cruz, Mariana Buck."
Flossie Wright answered simply.
"Them?" Nancy Phillips became even more puzzled.
The team Flossie Wright was in had always caught her attention; it was made up of veteran soldiers, and Sandy Cruz and Mariana Buck weren’t part of it.
As for Sandy Cruz and Mariana Buck, those two were actually in a team together.
Speaking of which—
Flossie Wright should have been holding her position at the stronghold she was assigned to.
Why did she come here?
"Hmm," Flossie Wright responded noncommittally, before speaking up calmly and decisively, "Tell me what you know."
"..." After a pause, Nancy Phillips felt a bit displeased with Flossie Wright’s attitude but still chose to prioritize the bigger picture, replying, "The enemy Blue team, a six-person group, one sniper, one with electronic warfare equipment—a key target."
After a moment’s thought, Flossie Wright continued, "And you?"
"Us, a three-person team, I’m the sniper, the others are..."
While speaking, Nancy Phillips pointed out the hiding spots of the other two members of her team.
"No casualties?" Flossie Wright raised an eyebrow.
Nancy Phillips shook her head.
Flossie Wright was quite speechless.
Six enemy Blue team members, three on the Red team; she surmised both sides must have snipers holding positions, preventing anyone from sticking their heads out, hence this stalemate.
From what Flossie Wright knew of the Blue team, they were definitely for quick resolutions; with their capabilities, taking down three from the Red team would be more than manageable.
Six against six.
There was a bit of a chance for victory.
"How long has it been?" Flossie Wright asked again.
Knowing what she meant, Nancy Phillips thought for a moment before replying, "Almost ten minutes."
Both sides had been in a standoff for some time, and with Nancy Philips’s side hoping for reinforcements, they had intentionally dragged out the time; it was nearly spot on.
Nodding her head, Flossie Wright shifted the topic suddenly, "Just now, four men attacked me."
Nancy Phillips didn’t quite catch on.

Four men...
She should have paid closer attention.
"No sniper." Her tone paused slightly before Flossie Wright raised an eyebrow, "And the other one?"
Suddenly, Nancy Phillips’s eyes widened.
Yes, what about the other one?
An extra person, an extra opportunity; why didn’t he take a shot at Flossie Wright?
Could it be—
Nancy Phillips suddenly realized something.
Her ears moved slightly, and Flossie Wright heard a faint sound before immediately raising her gun and aiming towards the direction behind her.
The sounds of two rifles almost coincided.
Red smoke and blue smoke appeared at the same rate in the dark forest night.
The person who had suddenly crept up behind them had fired at Nancy Phillips, while Flossie Wright’s rifle had taken care of that individual in record time.
Flossie Wright was safe and sound.
As for her own "sacrifice," Nancy Phillips was initially stunned, but after considering Flossie Wright’s analysis, she more or less understood.
The opponent obviously targeted her as the sniper.
Eliminating the sniper would ease the Blue team’s task of picking off the rest, one by one.
Without much emotional turmoil, having become a sniper, the mental resilience needed to face the possibility of "casualty" during exercises was something she had.
