If it was not for Flossie Wright leading the way, they might have even ended up lost.
Pushing aside the last layer of bushes obstructing their view, the previous campsite finally appeared in front of them again.
But this time, what came into view was no longer a busy, orderly campsite in the heavy rain. Instead, it was a scene of utter destruction, with tents blasted to bits everywhere, broken tree branches, and already decayed land appearing even more bleak. The taste of gunpowder lingered in the air from its continual bombardment. A group of "dead" red-team rookies grouped together, in only their raincoats under the heavy rain, sitting on the grassland. They started to yell and roar angrily, hurling insults and accusations at the passing blue team soldiers. However, the blue team soldiers, now accustomed to these events, didn’t even spare them a glance, treating them as if they were thin air while going about their own business.
After all, they are all considered dead. There was no need to waste time on the dead.
"So embarrassing."
Unable to bear looking at the indignant faces of the rookies he knew, Stuart Weston raised a hand to his forehead and muttered a comment.
Honestly, their deaths were quite a misfortune. After all, bombs aren’t discerning—they don’t care if you’re strong or weak. If you run into one, you’re certain to die if you’re unlucky. Therefore, some of the "dead" were even among those ranked higher in terms of overall performance.
"What do we do now?"
Becca Reyes lowered her voice, then looked questioningly at Flossie Wright standing next to her.
The entire area had been occupied by the forces of the blue team. Even if they had remarkable abilities, they could not possibly deal with so many people and weapons. Trying to break in would only mean certain death. Besides, almost all of the red team members here had been "killed," and those who had survived had already fled far away.
They knew nothing about the so-called exercise, as they had never participated in real combat. With the extensive scale of this exercise and the numerous locations they had to respond to, they couldn’t even identify their exact targets. Adding to this, they were on a different channel now, and had lost contact with the others...
Without a doubt, without their leaders, they had turned into headless flies.
Flossie Wright narrowed her eyes, taking in the situation in front of her. Opening her thin lips slightly, a single word was transmitted into everyone’s ears.
Rather than rushing into enemy lines and getting killed, it was better to maintain their strength and retreat safely.
Calvin Ramos and Stuart Weston exchanged a glance, neither of them had any objections to Flossie Wright’s proposal.
Following their well-practiced routine, they retreated without a trace.
On this night shrouded in darkness, the tension and danger lingered in the air, refusing to dissipate.
Not far from the occupied campsite, Austin Shepherd, who was holding a military notebook, was looking at each extinguishing light with a grave expression on his face.
Of the more than 400 people, nearly one-fourth had been lost in an instant.

"How’s the situation?"
The voice from the earpiece belonged to Nathan Foster.
In this drill, these more than 400 people were all under their charge.
The headquarters was where they communicated. After all, this drill was not specifically designed for them. After multiple discussions and plans, the current scheme was developed. If all went as planned, they were not expected to participate in the core of this drill. In simple terms, they were like cannon fodder, wandering in the peripheral areas, and to have one-fourth of these 400 people survive till the end, was good enough.
"Not too bad, I will send you the data."
Austin Shepherd’s fingers were quickly working on the keyboard, sending over the details of all the rookies who had been "killed" so far. At the same time, he roughly estimated the whereabouts of the other rookies through their location but the specifics were still to be verified.
