The darkness of the night deepens, and a heavy rain pours down.
On a rugged mountain road, an off-road vehicle is moving swiftly. In the lightless night, only the vehicle’s headlamps illuminate the path ahead.
The mobile phone placed on the passenger seat buzzes persistently, unsettling like a death knell. Glenn Hutchinson, who is driving, glances at the note on the mobile phone screen and quickly diverts his eyes. It is only when the other party insists on calling for the third time, he slows down the vehicle speed, puts on a Bluetooth headset, and answers the call.
"Where are you?"
As soon as he answers, a chilly voice cuts through from thousands of miles away. The harsh cold tone even makes Glenn Hutchinson’s brow furrow.
Glenn Hutchinson catches sight of a big bend ahead and slows down a bit before replying: "On the Navy’s side."

After a pause, the voice on the other end remains cold, "Is it necessary?"
Glenn Hutchinson responds without hesitation.
Without another word, there is a beep on the other end as the call is hung up straight away.
On this dangerous mountain road, Glenn Hutchinson steps on the gas without hesitation after removing his headset, his dangerous and thrilling speed is heart-stopping, to whomever is watching.
After an indeterminable time, the view ahead opens up. Soldiers guarding the camping area follow protocol and stop his vehicle.
Showing his identification as per procedure, Glenn Hutchinson drives the ’stolen’ vehicle straight into the campsite of the red team...
The rain continues to pour, the large droplets pelting the leaves, forming water columns that drop down with a gurgling sound. The dense jungle is filled only with the sound of rain, everything else seemingly sinking into silence.
Artificial flashlights cast a faint beam of light, lighting up the corners of this vast jungle; its illumination bears a faint resemblance to a tiny speck of starlight, insignificant in its magnitude.
"Where are we going to find food?"
Stuart Weston swings the flashlight around, his view filled with trees of all sizes and even shrubs but not a single fruit in sight, let alone edible ones.
"What’s the use of looking for food in the middle of the night? Can’t you see she’s intentionally making life difficult for us?"
Becca Reyes halts and retorts Stuart Weston with a headache.
In exercises like this, their cooking class excludes combat, but the veteran soldiers would teach them to identify edible fruits and such. To send these people out indiscriminately might lead them to bring poisonous berries back to the camp. Without any prior experience, under such adverse weather conditions, and in the pitch-black night, it would be a wonder if they could protect themselves, much less find food.
"I can see that..." Stuart Weston sighs as he shakes his head, "It’s quite impressive that you two could be targeted to this extent."
Stuart Weston only came together with Calvin Ramos because they were a team. It only made sense to stick together in both sentiment and principle. However, it was baffling to attract the dissatisfaction of so many people without doing anything that warranted such attention. This pair was indeed extraordinary.
Using the flashlight as a guide, Becca Reyes looks around, "Enough chit-chat, let’s find a place to shelter from the rain first."
The temperature in this kind of weather is probably close to zero degrees. As the rain pelts down accompanied by the gusty winds in the jungle, the rainwater is driven mercilessly onto their skin, stinging and causing them to shiver from the unexpected cold.
