If this were real combat—
the losses would have been severe.
Facing such a shameless reply, Nancy Phillips felt a lump in her throat, but she could only forcibly swallow it down.
"Hey, that sniper of yours, what’s her background anyway?" Looking at her, the Blue Army soldier asked with interest.
"I don’t know."
Nancy Phillips didn’t care to elaborate.
"You’re not in the same league as her."
As if he hadn’t noticed, the Blue Army soldier kept on muttering.
Nancy Phillips tensed up, a vein throbbed at her temple.
She really wanted to fight this bastard!
Seeing her fierce gaze, the Blue Army man narrowed his eyes and then fell silent.
After observing the situation, Flossie Wright moved to another position.
This time, the opposing force had diminished, only sending one person to suppress her, and soon Flossie shook them off.
Sandy Cruz, who had maintained his calm thinking, suggested to Flossie at this moment.
Outnumbered.
Knowing they were outmatched, retreating was the sensible strategy.
At the very least, it would reduce unnecessary casualties.
Hesitating for a moment, Flossie spoke softly, "No, let’s continue."
After a pause, she added, "The exercise is almost over, let’s take out one more of them."
This was a play.
Since it wasn’t actual combat, real death didn’t need to be considered.
More so, Flossie wasn’t a leader; she didn’t have to consider the bigger picture. There were no explicit instructions from the higher-ups for this exercise, so she could act according to her own thoughts.
Her opponent was strong, and Flossie was full of fighting spirit.
At such a critical moment, even if it meant sacrifice, she intended to enjoy it thoroughly.
Sandy quickly agreed.
After a slight pause, Sandy asked, "Who do we target?"
With a glint in her eye, Flossie smiled, "The one with the submachine gun."
Sandy responded and followed up, "I’ll be the bait."
After hesitating slightly, Flossie nodded and said softly, "Okay."
Since both sides had snipers, neither would rashly approach the enemy even under fire suppression.
Now, the enemy troops were well hidden; Flossie didn’t have a chance to shoot.
Sandy had to create an opportunity.
The opposition was experienced and wouldn’t be easily fooled.
She hoped Sandy had a good plan.
While Sandy acted as the bait, Flossie silently retreated, moving out of the range of fire to find the best position for aiming.
Backing away nearly twenty meters, Flossie knelt on the ground, taking cover behind an obstacle, while aiming her Gun at the one with the submachine gun.
"Three seconds."
Sandy’s voice came through the earpiece.
"Okay."
𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
Flossie responded softly.
Three seconds.
This might be her only chance.
It couldn’t be missed.
It was dark, gunshots were the only sounds, and her vision was filled with the world behind the sight.
Everything else seemed to be cut off.
The usually composed Flossie, her fingertips now trembling slightly.
Not from fear, not from nervousness.
But from excitement.
Flossie’s expression turned cold as she quickly hid that trace of emotion.
One second. Two seconds. Three seconds.
The figure hidden behind the obstacle showed the top of their head.
Her gaze turned icy, and Flossie decisively pulled the trigger.
