As for later—
They could play it by ear.
Having heard Flossie Wright’s words, Belinda Nichols walked forward a few steps.
At the same time, urged by Sandy Cruz, Mariana Buck also walked forward a few steps, not far from Belinda Nichols.
The three of them were ready to start a fire.
Flossie Wright had a box of matches on her, which Joshua Bailey had sneakily given her after Glenn Hutchinson left.
It could be said that Joshua Bailey was still supporting them from behind.
"Flossie, why don’t you go back to sleep first?"
No sooner had Rowdy Brightwill ignited the fire, he carefully said to Flossie Wright.
It was just a fire; he and Sandy Cruz could keep watch. Flossie Wright could rest assured and go back to sleep.
Flossie Wright replied to him indifferently.
Having said that, she turned around and picked up more kindling.
"But," Rowdy Brightwill hesitated for a moment, followed Flossie Wright’s steps, and continued to persuade, "staying here is pointless."
Picking up the kindling paused, Flossie Wright turned her head, giving him a glance.
Her gaze was cold and calm, but strangely, Rowdy Brightwill caught a fleeting glimpse of determination in her eyes.
Rowdy Brightwill immediately fell silent.
Just let her be.
Rowdy Brightwill thought helplessly.
Sandy Cruz and Flossie Wright each started a fire and placed them beside Mariana Buck and Belinda Nichols, respectively.
The feet were naturally the first to get cold.
Both busily occupied, Rowdy Brightwill could not do anything and honestly continued to climb the mountain, searching for firewood.
When Glenn Hutchinson left the office building, he made a detour intending to take a look at the sports field.
On his way, he happened to run into Joshua Bailey.
Upon seeing him, Joshua Bailey swiftly came over and called out to Glenn Hutchinson.
Glenn Hutchinson glanced at him but did not speak.
He continued on his way.
"Captain, where are you heading?"
Joshua Bailey followed Glenn Hutchinson’s pace and asked with a smile, as if it were just casual chatter.
But even a fool knew that the path Glenn Hutchinson was taking could only lead to the sports field.

Joshua Bailey’s act was superfluous.
Glenn Hutchinson ignored him.
So, Joshua Bailey kept following him.
The two arrived near the sports field.
From afar, they could see two bonfires and the faint smoke rising.
Seeing this scene, Joshua Bailey immediately called out to Glenn Hutchinson.
Truth be told, seeing such a "punishment by standing" for the first time left him feeling quite uneasy.
A stern and proper punishment had turned into a bonfire party?!
Although Joshua Bailey found it amusing, the seriousness of the matter could escalate at any moment with Glenn Hutchinson.
If Glenn Hutchinson pleased, he could act as though he had seen nothing, but of course, the punishment by standing would no longer be an effective tactic after this.
But if he decided to crack down hard to make an example, this group, Flossie Wright and all, would certainly bear the consequences.
That would be too awful...
"How did they start the fire?"
Ignoring Joshua Bailey’s concern, Glenn Hutchinson suddenly asked in a deep voice.
Joshua Bailey was very nervous but pretended to be clueless.
"You don’t know?" Tilting his head slightly, Glenn Hutchinson looked at him, his severe gaze as if seeing through everything.
"It was me."
Joshua Bailey gave a dejected reply.
In fact, it wasn’t hard to guess.
All the trainees’ items had been confiscated by them; it was impossible for any of them to have something to start a fire with. Of course, they could try to create fire by friction, but with the cold weather, it was unlikely they could "rub" out a flame.
It must have been the veteran soldiers’ doing.
At that time, only Joshua Bailey was there.
Glenn Hutchinson coldly spit out two words.
"Well, it’s because we were afraid," Joshua Bailey said helplessly, his tone soon turning slick and sly, "If someone actually lost their life... Finding these promising recruits isn’t easy, right? We mustn’t waste all your hard work."
Glenn Hutchinson swept him with a cold glance.
Joshua Bailey immediately shut his mouth.
Carefully observing Glenn Hutchinson.
Surprisingly, there was no anger as imagined.
His cold demeanor softened, yet his expression remained serious, but without a trace of anger visible.
It was as if he had tacitly consented to the matter.
Joshua Bailey unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
As soon as he relaxed, Joshua Bailey suddenly realized something was amiss. His nostrils twitched slightly; he frowned and looked around, muttering in bewilderment, "What’s the deal, there’s a smell of meat..."
Before he could finish, his gaze came to an abrupt stop.
Joshua Bailey looked towards the bonfire.
And just like that, he was stunned.
This, this, this...
Flossie Wright, oh Flossie Wright, can’t you just not court death for once?!
