She dedicated herself to learning the local language and customs. In that turbulent country, she grew at an unprecedented speed. By her early teenage years, her hands were already stained with blood. She had been part of the refugee piles, integrated into the ranks of the revolutionaries, and even collaborated with the state. After five years, when she had gained control of the country’s situation, she decided to leave and form a group with those who shared her destiny.
In this era, they could be called mercenaries.
Although it seems like an incredible story, there’s a lot more that Flossie Wright has to tell Janice Wood.
The world never lacks wars, and peaceful countries are only temporary. No one knows what accidents will lead to war. However, some people choose to survive in this unstable world. They can lose everything, but the one thing they cannot lose is the belief in staying alive.
Only if you want to live, only if you want to improve, can you truly survive and improve your life.
Some people naturally face numerous adversities. Those who have smooth lives are blessed. If you’re not blessed, you should use your own hands to pave your own path.
And, when you feel that you have struggled hard, there are still people in this world who are striving harder than you.
After hearing Flossie Wright’s story, various emotions intertwined in Janice Wood’s heart. After a while, she suddenly asked, "Is she still alive?"
"I don’t know," Flossie shrugged, "It’s just a story."
"Is this your story?"
Frowning, Janice asked a question that even she felt was silly.
Wasn’t Flossie standing in front of her, standing on the land belonging to the Eastlandian soldiers? It wouldn’t be possible for someone standing here to exist in such a turbulent world, would it?
Answering simply, Flossie lowered her eyes, a calm emotion crossing her face.
The story that belonged to her was much simpler than this.
The reason she knew this story was merely because she was also a member of that mercenary group.
However, when she heard this story, it was merely a joke from the mouth of that woman.
Janice wanted to ask more, but Flossie had already stood up. She extended her hand to Janice, "It’s time to go."
After hesitating slightly, Janice finally suppressed the doubts in her heart and naturally grabbed Flossie’s hand. Then, with Flossie’s assistance, she stood up.
The cold wind blew past, and the figures of the two gradually disappeared into the distance.
As the month was coming to an end and New Year’s Day was close, the mood at the Base was gloomy because two soldiers had lost their lives. Usually, at this time of year, people would be happy in anticipation of the coming year. However, the good mood on this occasion was shrouded in haze, and smiles were seldom seen.
Of course, it wasn’t everyone. The two soldiers who died were frogmen, so naturally, the other frogmen who were closest to them felt the impact most profoundly. Still, their feelings were known only to themselves, even as they trained intensely every day.
However, the new recruits who were preparing for the selection training were terrified due to Nathan Foster’s constant drilling. Every day he wore a stern face, always appearing as though he wouldn’t be satisfied until they collapsed from exhaustion. For Flossie and Becca Reyes, thanks to the sergeant’s orders, they did not take part in the nightly training sessions. But the new recruits were truly spending their days on the training grounds, with their resting time amounting to merely three hours each day.
Among the new recruits, only Janice seemed to enjoy the brutal training that almost separated the soul from the body.
