The deepening darkness lulled the entire base into a serene peace. While some peacefully slept, others tossed and turned. The silence of the night was close to terrifying.
The sound of the cooking class’s iron pot being struck sounded right on time, but the normally responsible Sergeant Lin was still dressing. The sudden sound nearly scared him; he swiftly finished dressing. Amid the puzzled voices of several men soldiers who had been awakened, he pulled open the dormitory door and left.
He bumped right into the figure striking the pot as they came to be face to face.
In the dim light, Sergeant Lin looked several times before recognizing the person standing in front of him, knocking on the pot.
Flossie Wright.
"Why are you up so early?"
Seeing Flossie Wright holding the pot, Sergeant Lin stiffened his face, snatched the pot from her hand and directly scolded her without good humour.
Of course, compared to being angry at Flossie Wright for taking over his job, he was even more upset with himself for not waking up as early as Flossie and thereby letting her take over the task of banging the pot.
Flossie Wright shrugged, looking somewhat innocent, "To help them wake up."
Sergeant Lin was choked by Flossie Wright’s matter-of-course attitude and couldn’t say a word for a long time.
During this silence, the sound of a fall and a painful shout suddenly came from the lit dormitory. Standing at the door, Flossie Wright and Sergeant Lin instinctively looked over, but before they could see clearly, they saw several men soldiers in various states of dress, diving into their blankets and looking warily towards the door, their eyes resting on Flossie Wright in a way that was as if they were guarding against a wolf. They looked like wronged young wives.

Little Yan was the one who was scared by Flossie Wright and fell from the top bunk. Now he was frantically crawling back up, wearing only his trunks and top, looking extraordinarily embarrassed.
Standing silently at the door, Flossie Wright touched her nose and felt baffled by their exaggerated reactions.
If a male soldier was standing outside a female soldiers’ dormitory this early, she might understand their dramatic reaction, especially since they had Yvonne Watson living in their dormitory. Any little noise could cause her to fuss for a long time. But she, fully dressed, had appeared at the entrance of the men’s dormitory, they were not completely naked, everything that needed to be covered was covered. There was nothing to panic about, there was no need to make such a fuss.
However, for the stricter forces, it is understandable that male soldiers find it hard to accept waking up and seeing women immediately.
Sergeant Lin might have felt their reaction was somewhat embarrassing. Without considering their feelings, he turned back and looked at Flossie Wright for a while, then handed the pot back to her, "The mission of waking them up is given to you from now on."
"Oh." Without any hesitation, Flossie Wright nodded seriously and asked, "Is there a reward?"
Without thinking, he wanted to scold Flossie Wright, but before he could say anything, Sergeant Lin suddenly realized something. He looked at Flossie Wright warily, "What did you do?"
"Took some food from the kitchen."
Saying this, Flossie Wright suddenly raised her hand. On her slender and beautiful index finger, was the key to the kitchen.
Under the light of the dormitory room, the key appeared extremely conspicuous.
Sergeant Lin’s face darkened.
So waking up early was to steal food...
However, looking at Flossie Wright who seemed to have no guilt and was straightforward, Sergeant Lin couldn’t muster any anger.
"Aren’t you going shopping?"
