"Flossie——"
Watching the black silhouette fall along the rope, Becca Reyes cried out in instinctive alarm.
Undeniably, reason told her that Flossie Wright wouldn’t do something so insane without reason. She must have had a plan. But such high-risk action, the falling figure like a cut kite, falling at an incredible speed without any drag, made her heart pound.
Just watching it made her heart race unexpectedly.
An incredible shock.
However, Flossie Wright, who was falling down the cliff with the broken end of the rope, suddenly raised her head in mid-air and made a gesture to her and Stuart Weston.
A clear gesture—firepower suppression!
The inexplicable action, the inexplicable gesture, froze Becca Reyes’ mind for two seconds. But Stuart Weston, beside her, reacted quickly. He immediately raised the submachine gun he had snatched, and without any warning, he started shooting at the enemy soldiers on the opposite side!
And then, Becca Reyes reacted too. She didn’t understand the situation, but she followed and began to fire at the enemy soldiers. The enemies, dumbstruck by surprise, were caught off guard and suffered substantial casualties in a short time. Only the fastest ones, while shooting back, hid in the bushes behind them.
"Shit! They’re crazy!"
"What the hell! What’s the situation with those two who fell?!"
"They’re so audacious, they must be insane..."
The enemy soldiers were utterly confused, complaining angrily along with the fleeing soldiers. They wanted to see if the opponents were driven mad by the excitement, or simply brainless, if not for the urgent situation at hand.
However, Becca Reyes and Stuart Weston were worried about their companions and had become reckless, oblivious to the danger. The submachine guns they had snatched the day before came in handy, and the bullets firing out were like a heavy rainstorm. Both the living and dead enemies were suppressed and couldn’t raise their heads.
Meanwhile——
Calvin Ramos, who was in a higher position, controlled his body well. After swinging over a twenty-meter distance, he gripped the protruding hard rock on the opposite cliff and came to a steady halt. As he finally steadied himself, he looked down instinctively and saw the figure dangling below. Flossie Wright pushed against the side of the cliff with her feet, and after some back and forth movement, she came to a halt beneath the cliff.
He let out a sigh of relief but before he could shift his gaze, he saw Flossie Wright swing the rope, like a trapeze artist, and brush past to a ledge nearby. She then let go of the rope, which was strong enough to support her climb.
In other words, she had cut off her only path up.
A strong shock and confusion lingered in his mind. Only then Calvin Ramos truly realized that Flossie Wright had been calm throughout. This was certainly not a hasty decision.
After all, even if they were captured by the enemy soldiers, they would only be removed from this exercise. But just now, they had risked their lives. So, Flossie Wright must have been absolutely confident to carry out such a crazy act.
"Meet at the seaside."
Flossie Wright suddenly looked up, but she was too far away and the gunfire too loud for her to be heard, so she mouthed the three words without making a sound.
Yes, she had no intention of climbing up.
It was too far and too physically demanding. The current situation wouldn’t allow for it.
