"Half an hour’s walk."
Stepping out a beat behind, Flossie Wright responded indifferently.
Since it wasn’t raining, she naturally took off her raincoat and tossed it to Devina Millet, who had become a "beast of burden."
At this moment, Flossie was dressed just like the rest of them.
Only she had the leisure to take off her hat and painstakingly remove the random weeds from her hair.
Flossie wasn’t a stickler for cleanliness, but after several days without a bath, and with the dirt clinging to her, she was somewhat uncomfortable.
Soon, Cassie Ferguson and Bonnie Reyes caught up quickly.
"There were no ambushes at the last three points, so the likelihood is greater at the next one," Devina Millet analyzed as she lay motionless on the ground, "It’s also getting late. How about we set up a Sanctuary nearby and rest for the night?"
Flossie had no objections to this.
As Devina Millet said, the next point was most likely to have an ambush.
They had been on the move for a long time, and their strength was nearly spent; if they encountered an ambush head-on, the chances of success were slim.
The conservative approach was to take advantage of the distance and rest for the night so that tomorrow, with renewed energy, they could devise the best possible offense and defense.
"Why don’t we just charge through," Bonnie Reyes retorted with a sneer, "Leaving threats unattended, I won’t sleep a wink."
"Hey, you," Devina Millet clicked her tongue in disdain and then flipped over, facing up, her contempt clear as she taunted, "Did the eagle scratch your head one too many times leaving you addled?"
Taking a step toward her, a fierce anger flashed in Bonnie Reyes’ eyes.
"Looking for a fight?"
With her palms against the ground, Devina Millet sprang to her feet instantly.
She faced Bonnie Reyes directly!
Bonnie Reyes stopped in her tracks, her face filled with resentment.
She was always bullied by them!
Flossie Wright and Devina Millet alike, they treated her as if she was expendable, belittling and mocking her at will!
What gave them the right?!
"Not a bad fighting spirit!"
Touching her nose, Devina Millet arched an eyebrow slightly, and a faint smile played on her beautiful face.
Stunningly charismatic.
Even the standardized military uniform couldn’t mask her innate poise.
Bonnie Reyes clenched her teeth in frustration.
Devina Millet stretched out her hand and crooked her finger at her.
Another blatant provocation!
Bonnie Reyes was fuming with rage!
"What’s this?" Cassie Ferguson’s cold voice cut through as she stood by Bonnie Reyes, warningly sweeping her gaze toward her, "Infighting already, before we’ve even seen the enemy?"
"Look who’s talking," Devina Millet slowly curled her lips into a smile, glancing at her nonchalantly, "Isn’t this infighting something that started a while back? You just noticed?"
Cassie Ferguson’s gaze hardened on the spot.
Devina Millet was intractable.
Cozying up to Flossie Wright had its reasons, but it all boiled down to self-interest.
Cassie Ferguson and Bonnie Reyes had brought her no such benefits.
Devina Millet had no reason to endure Bonnie Reyes’ anger or Cassie Ferguson’s pointed barbs!
Birds of a feather flock together.
She had no intention of taking things lying down.
With that thought, Devina Millet’s mind wandered to Flossie, and she subconsciously wanted to look in that direction.
This glance made her previous confidence waver a bit.
Where was she?!
Flossie, who had just been there, dawdling and picking at dead leaves, had vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye?!
