Having expressed her intention, Flossie Wright never stopped for a moment. She promptly began to descend the cliff by means of the protruding rocks and shrubs growing on it.
Simultaneously, Becca Reyes had just completed a shooting cycle and paused for a moment. Barely looking down the hill, she almost fell her balance and fell off the cliff.
What the hell is she up to again?!
Just after calling out, Calvin Ramos who was not far below lifted his head towards her. She slightly furrowed her brows, raised her voice a bit, and asked: "What is she trying to do?"
After a brief hesitation, Calvin Ramos no longer stood still. He moved his brows slightly and his steady voice quickly fell into Becca Reyes’ ears -

"Meet at the seaside!"
The moment the words left his lips, Calvin Ramos raised his foot, wrapped the rope around a few times to increase the friction. He then briskly moved downhill. His speed was suicidally fast. In a blink of an eye, he had descended into a small dark spot. This speed was truly astounding.
What the hell?!
Becca Reyes watched them bewilderingly move downhill one after another. However, somehow she understood what Calvin meant. Once that was clear, she immediately picked up her submachine gun, grabbed the collar of Stuart Weston who was still firing, and hid in the jungle behind them.
The gunfire was still ongoing. Becca Reyes and Stuart Weston had practically met all the bullets. But even while covering for Flossie and Calvin, they had to try their best to stay alive!
"Where are they?"
Hiding behind the trees, Stuart randomly fired bullets, while asking Becca Reyes cluelessly.
"They both went down," Becca Reyes paused for a moment before adding, "to the seaside."
Stuart nodded thoughtfully, surprisingly not too shocked.
After all, Flossie was capable of doing crazy things like severing her own rope, so no matter what else she did... well, he was numb to it.
A towering cliff, steep terrain, and perhaps a four or five hundred meter drop.
The rope was hanging in the middle of the cliff. One could not rely on it completely, but had to climb down half the way by hand. The nearly vertical cliff pose a severe challenge to anyone. The slightest mistake could lead to death, Fortunately, they had rock climbing training in their basic training. Although going down was more difficult than going up, they could still manage it as long as they were careful. This wouldn’t pose much of a problem.
Because time was of the essence, Flossie, while ensuring stability, also had to maintain a certain speed. The distance from the point where she had released the rope to the land was about one hundred meters. Her movements were high-risk but efficient. She was essentially treading where others would tremble with fear. Yet, it still took her more than ten minutes.
Calvin Ramos was obviously not falling behind. Relying on the power of the rope, he slid down to the place where Flossie was previously, and then descended in nearly the same dangerous manner. They were only five minutes apart when he finally set foot on the solid land.
"What are you doing here?"
Flossie stood by the river bank, watching the situation on the water’s surface from a distance of about twenty meters. When Calvin touched down, she never turned her head. Her voice camouflaged the usual coldness.
Calvin took a few steps forward. He glanced at the situation direction of the cliff, and saw the figures swaying. Finally, he lowered his head to look at Flossie, and calmly responded: "The two of them can look out for each other."
Turning her head slightly towards him, Flossie said frankly: "To me, you’re a burden."
