"Don’t move."
With a warning, the Gun’s point was pointed at his temple.
The sniper’s black eyes subtly shifted to the corner, using his peripheral vision to look at the female soldier who stood by his side, unawares of when she arrived. Her refined face was painted with green and brown oils. The most eye-catching were those sharp, inky, and cold eyes. Its frightening sharpness shot straight to the heart, this random threat made the sniper rigid, daring not to move.
"You’re dead."
Flossie Wright looked at him indifferently, feinted a pull of the trigger, then retracted her Type 95 rifle.
The sniper was extremely dejected. If the few people who had just rushed up to hunt him, he might have felt better. However, what was deadly was that he was subdued by a female soldier he had completely underestimated.
"Where did you come from?"
With difficulty, he swallowed and asked weakly, then grabbed the brilliant crimson snake, sat up from the ground, and looked up at Flossie Wright standing in front of him.
"From below." Flossie Wright casually replied, jabbing the rifle in her hand into the pocket of the sniper’s clothes, calmly ordering, "Whatever you have on you, take it all out."
The sniper, whose heart was deeply wounded, couldn’t believe her. Not only was her answer insincere, but she even dared to rob him in broad daylight?
"You’re dead, all you have left is inheritance." Flossie Wright saw his reluctance, adding a touch of disgust to her expression, "Don’t make me strip you."
The pitiful sniper twitched at the corner of his mouth, cursed ’female hooligan’ to himself, and then, in front of Flossie Wright, gingerly emptied his pockets.
Since he came for a mission, what he could carry on his body wasn’t much. A lighter, a pack of cigarettes, a few packs of compressed biscuits, and a water bottle.

Flossie Wright accepted everything except for the useless pack of cigarettes, leaving the sniper infuriated, but helpless.
As Flossie Wright said, he was a "dead man". Being here for business, he had to play by the rules. Technically, Flossie Wright could strip him of his clothes if she pleased.
In two hidden locations unnoticed by Flossie Wright, two outsiders witnessed everything that occurred.
Deep, dark eyes reflected the shadow of falling leaves, capturing the images of the two individuals clearly. When Flossie Wright arrogantly demanded the "spoils of war", a trace of amusement emerged in their eyes.
"Captain, it turns out she’s a woman!" exclaimed a low voice in surprise over the earpiece, followed by a mutter, "No wonder there are queens in the navy over here, they’re all so fierce."
They had seen clearly how Flossie Wright had climbed undetected from below, holding a snake, and how she had crept up to the sniper. However, the speaker was initially focusing only on Flossie’s agility and hadn’t detected her gender.
Glenn Hutchinson remained silent, his eyes locked onto Flossie Wright as she "robbed" the sniper, who looked sickly. A hint of laughter passed through his eyes when she took the spare clip from him. It wasn’t until Flossie Wright arrogantly left with her spoils that he moved his headset slightly.
He quietly issued an order with a melodic voice, "Take action."
No sooner had his words fallen, than the sniper who had just gotten rid of the bad luck charm Flossie Wright barely had a chance to catch his breath. As he watched the shadow flying down, he was baffled. Before he could react, the person had already landed behind him. Two hands quickly grabbed his wrists from his shoulders, tying them behind his back. The sudden actions took the sniper aback. Just as he was about to remark that he was already dead, the man behind him covered his mouth.
