Only after the transmission was completed, Austin Shepherd tapped his earpiece, "How is the situation on the captain’s side?"
"No idea," The mention of this turned Nathan Foster’s tone a little sour, "Naval combat, anyway, we are not involved."
Since it was a large-scale drill, the Navy, Army, and Air Force’s joint operations were naturally to be carried out. They, being an amphibious reconnaissance team, could operate on land, but their main scope was in the maritime territory. Their matters had no direct relationship with the intense battle taking place on the coast.
However, thinking about this, Nathan Foster felt quite aggrieved. He should have been standing on a warship preparing for battle. Instead, he was wandering in the jungle due to the new recruits... it was a significant loss.
After a pause, Austin Shepherd suddenly said: "Right, that female soldier who jumped off the cliff, she insisted on leaving, right?"
Nathan Foster didn’t answer immediately. He fell silent for a moment before heavily responding: "She finished the discharge formalities yesterday, I guess she’s probably been sent away by now."
"Oh." Austin Shepherd nodded, and then thought for a moment again, "Do you blame her?"
If it wasn’t for that female soldier who jumped off the cliff, no matter how you put it, Nathan Foster would be the lead instructor and he, Austin Shepherd, would be the deputy instructor.
"Blame what ..." Nathan Foster’s voice abruptly halted, and after a long pause, it seemed like you could hear his sigh, "As long as she’s not dead."
Honor, position, achievement...it was all just an experience in the military for him. If anything actually happened to Janice Wood, even if he committed a serious mistake, once a person is dead, they are dead. There’s no chance for redemption.
In fact, Nathan Foster felt quite guilty since Janice’s mishap.
He and Winsley Scott were brothers, after all. If even the woman his brother wanted to protect couldn’t be kept safe...
On second thoughts, that was quite frustrating.
"I’ve talked to her, her mental condition has improved considerably, I don’t think she will have thoughts of suicide again. Also, she feels quite guilty about you."
"Why should she feel guilty, I am not dead ..."
Speaking halfway, Nathan Foster fell silent again.
In the pitter-patter of the rain, all words seemed to be drowned out.
After listening for a while, Austin Shepherd organized his notebook, "Give me your coordinates, I will come find you, we’ll talk later."
Dawn was breaking, the heavy rain had just stopped, and the night grew even darker.
The dense jungle, the covering branches, a lively target.
Flossie Wright was hiding well in the tree, her raincoat, useless in the heavy rain, had long been discarded. The training uniform with rain protection clung to her body, but it couldn’t ward off the spreading cold. The rain dripped from the brim of her hat onto her face painted with military camouflage, slowly sliding down her attractive contours. What she held in her hand was the 88 type sniper rifle she had just seized, water droplets hung on the gun barrel, dripping drop by drop, but the falling raindrops did not show the slightest sway.
The gun in her hand, was extremely steady.
The broadened field of vision, the target not hidden in the dark, clearly visible in the night vision goggles.
A smile curled at the corner of her mouth, her dark eyes seemed even more dazzling in the night. Her unhurried movements, as if waiting for the prey to send itself to her, an unquestionable confidence, her gaze was like a scorpion, accurately locking onto her prey.
"Bang bang bang——"
In the unexpected moment, three consecutive shots were fired. Amid the slight noise, the shadows in the distance paused abruptly, followed by blue smoke rising above their heads, symbolizing their demise.
At the same time, three figures suddenly darted out from the night. Before anyone could react, they had pounced on the three "dead" blue soldiers, pinning them to the ground.
