It’s just a few hours of training that got wasted, it’s not like they are seriously trying to train us to death, right?
"That... That’s too high."
Janice Wood bit her lip tightly, her voice changed as she spoke, her heart felt as if it was stuck in her throat, ready to jump out at any moment."
Nobody could believe that one could jump from such a height and come out unscathed. They had practiced diving before, but from a height of no more than twenty meters. Even from such a short height, accidents can easily happen; some are knocked unconscious by the sea on the spot. Of course, there were people in the world who had dived from over fifty meters, but...
The chances of achieving such a feat were astronomically low, especially for Flossie Wright.
What’s more, the terrain there is very dangerous. Even if one isn’t crushed upon entering the water, what if they hit some hidden rocks?
Becca Reyes wrapped her arm around her shoulder and added uncertainly, "Didn’t Captain Hutchinson jump too?"
She had no reason to doubt Glenn Hutchinson, that man was not someone who would court death.
Unconsciously, even Becca Reyes’s brows were furrowed with unease.
And, while the two were lost in their chaotic thoughts, they failed to notice that the crowd around them was gradually thinning.
"What are you two still doing, standing here?" Jocelyn Carrington, who was eating not far away, was about to follow the crowd and leave when she noticed the two of them standing motionlessly. She set aside her prejudices and walked over to remind them, "They’ve started to assemble!"
"Assemble?" Becca Reyes frowned, taken aback, she immediately looked up, "We won’t go, we have to leave first."
If there is still a glimmer of hope left, they can’t waste time.
As soon as Becca finished speaking, she exchanged a glance with Janice . Without saying a word, a determined look appeared in both their eyes.
Not wasting any more time, they both left following the last of the crowd. But instead of heading away from the dining hall, they headed straight for the mountains.
Looking at their retreating figures in surprise, Jocelyn Carrington’s mouth twitched and her eyes almost twisted in anger. Stomping her foot in annoyance, she ended up swearing out loudly, "Damn! Lunatics!"
The turbulent sea gradually calmed down as the waves flowed downstream.

A nimble figure swam in the water, as free as a fish. Colorful sea fishes passed by her, it was as if she was surrounded by marine life. The visibility under the water and the tranquil atmosphere made it seem as if she was completely cut off from the world at war above.
Flossie Wright’s dive into the water was perfect, but the height caused some issues, leaving her feeling a bit dizzy. It was only after she had swum quite a distance with the current that her head started to clear.
Of course, for ordinary people, her being alive right now was a miracle.
As the air she held onto while falling was gradually depleted, Flossie didn’t linger underwater. She began to swim upwards. However, to overcome the water pressure, she moved very slowly.
When Glenn Hutchinson spotted her while searching around in the water, she was swimming slowly upwards. His movements slowed and he watched Flossie Wright’s unhurried movements while floating in the water.
The sun was shining brightly, and the rays refracted through the surface of the water, creating shimmering patterns. Underwater, it looked as if they had fallen into a sea of stars, with the light and the darkness intermingling, creating a beautiful chiaroscuro. Schools of fish swam past Flossie Wright, serving as her ornament. Her agile body seemed to blend into this maritime territory, creating a harmonious picture.
