"Just now, in the blue team, there was her ex-boyfriend," Sandy Cruz said expressionlessly, with a hint of annoyance.
"Cough cough—"
Flossie Wright almost choked on her chocolate.
What a coincidence?
Her eyes narrowed slightly, Flossie tilting her head, observing Sandy with some interest.
Her mood wasn’t too bad.
There was no hostility, no anger, just a bit of annoyance.
Flossie actually felt a bit disappointed not having witnessed the three of them recognizing each other.
"You seem quite happy?"
As Sandy noticed Flossie’s expression, his face darkened a bit.
"A little," Flossie nodded honestly.
It was a rather amusing situation, just thinking about it was fun.
Though Flossie didn’t have an interest in their romantic relationships, she was after all a normal person with emotions, and upon hearing such a coincidental and amusing event, she definitely—
had a bit of interest in it.
Especially since the person involved was Sandy.
Sandy turned his head away, looking straight ahead, too lazy to bother with her anymore.
Glancing at him sideways, Flossie smiled lightly and decided not to give him any more trouble.
As a "dead person," she needed a good rest.
After eating her chocolate, Flossie brought over some dry grass and laid it on the damp grassland, where she slept through the night.
The next day at noon.
The exercise was declared over.
Reportedly, the casualty ratio reached 1:10.
Meaning, for every one in the blue team, ten on the red team were taken out.
This difference left every member of the red team extremely frustrated.
As for Flossie, who had ’killed’ nine by herself, that was quite a profit.
Around two in the afternoon, Flossie and her group were finally picked up by a helicopter that flew in.
By the time they returned to the Base, it was around five o’clock in the afternoon.
There was always a banquet after the exercise; regardless of the results, all the soldiers had been tired for so long, they deserved some reward, right?
This time, the rule was the same.
So, as soon as the team got back, they were taken to drink and eat meat.
Flossie’s group returned rather early.
So they had enough time to take a shower before going.
Becca Reyes came over with some freshly roasted lamb and immediately offered it to Flossie.
Flossie accepted it.

But she handed it off to Belinda Nichols standing next to her.
In the training field, there were no formal tables. Soldiers were used to being casual, all sitting on the grassland, surrounding a bonfire—that was their table.
Looking around, the whole training field was bustling like this.
The darkening sky, decorated by the bonfire and streetlights, although the lighting on the field was dim, the barbecue and banquet only tasted better in such an atmosphere.
Although the atmosphere was good, Flossie couldn’t get herself excited.
Because she had to figure out a way to get the sniper rifle back from Glenn Hutchinson’s hands.
"Not eating?"
Watching Flossie’s actions, Becca Reyes felt a pang of jealousy and pursed her lips.
She had fought hard to get that roasted lamb, and Belinda Nichols’s portion had been reserved in advance.
Flossie just passed it on to someone else...
After thinking it over, Becca sighed helplessly.
It seemed she had gotten used to it.
"I’ll eat later."
Flossie, holding a bottle of beer, shook it a little and replied absently to her.
