Alisa Green stood still, watching the female soldier who had given up in the midst of her sorrow.
"This is the third checkpoint, right?"
After standing for a moment, Devina Millet’s expression grew a bit more despondent as she turned to Flossie Wright and asked.
Flossie Wright responded indifferently.
The third red marker was right there, at the foot of that female soldier.
It was now the fourth day, and they were only halfway through their time surviving in the wild.
To be honest, Flossie Wright felt that giving up now might be more sensible.
Recognizing one’s own strength and learning to give up when one can’t bear it anymore is also a form of alternative growth.
"If we had come earlier, would she still have given up?"
Devina Millet’s face suddenly became serious.
If that female soldier had seen even a glimmer of hope, realizing she didn’t have to continue alone, that she would have companions by her side—
Then, would she still have given up?
Devina Millet did not know that person, so she was uncertain of the outcome.
But she couldn’t help but feel some regret for not having arrived sooner.
"I don’t know."
Flossie Wright’s expression was calm, and she didn’t give a specific answer.
In her personal opinion—
Not in the short term.
When someone has been fighting alone for a long time, negative emotions can easily erupt, and when she realizes that she can’t do it, so she chooses to give up.
However, the presence of comrades can inspire one’s potential.
So, in the short term, that female soldier would persist.
But what of it?
This was just an assessment, and Glenn Hutchinson wouldn’t just give them one assessment. More brutal and despairing situations awaited them in the future.
She would eventually give up.
"I’ll go have a look."
After hesitating for a while, Devina Millet said to Flossie Wright.
Then, she walked directly toward the female soldier who had given up.
Pausing for a moment, Flossie Wright lifted her eyes to look at the grey sky. After gazing for two seconds, she withdrew her gaze.
Proceeding forward unhurriedly.
Devina Millet ran over to the female soldier and said something. Flossie Wright was too far away to hear clearly because of the rain, but she guessed it was a series of consolations.
In the end, she saw Devina Millet embracing the female soldier tightly.
The sobbing of the female soldier gradually quieted down.
Faced with such a firm embrace, the female soldier was stunned at first, her body slightly stiff, but soon she lifted her arms and hugged Devina Millet back.

And began to cry unrestrainedly once more.
Five meters away, Flossie Wright stopped in her tracks.
She carried her gun on her back, put her hands in her pockets, and stood upright, her cool eyes deep as her gaze fell on Devina Millet and the soldier embracing each other.
The sound of crying reached her ears, heavy with sadness.
She remained silent, quietly watching by the side, yet her presence was undiminished.
Several minutes went by before Devina Millet finally calmed the female soldier.
"Hey, who gave up?"
With a clear inquisitive voice, signifying new arrivals at the scene.
At that moment, other than the still-sobbing female soldier, both Flossie Wright and Devina Millet turned their heads toward the direction of the voice.
Under the dim sky, two figures emerged from the trees in the rainy curtain.
The speaker was in front, looking somewhat familiar, probably a female soldier from the neighboring Dormitory.
Following her at a measured pace was someone Flossie Wright and Devina Millet were quite familiar with.
A roommate from the same Dormitory.
Cassie Ferguson.
