Calvin Ramos didn’t say anything, but a glimpse of suspicion flashed in his eyes.
Since the naval battle last night, Flossie Wright hasn’t been speaking much, although she used to be cold to everyone...
Not like it is now.
Flossie Wright decided not to go into the wooden house but instead lay down on the trunk of a relatively old tree nearby. In the gentle breeze that swept through the jungle, she slowly drifted off to sleep.
But this sleep wasn’t peaceful.
Blood, flames, cries, these images intertwined in her dreams and memories, bringing to light faces long forgotten.
A strong emotion began to build in her chest, causing her to furrow her brows uncomfortably in her sleep.
Suddenly, a chill wind blew in, rustling the leaves.
Then, she woke up abruptly.
Her dark eyes flared open, a flash of resentment apparent in their depths. It was so intense that it made her eyes seem even more profound, her killing intent rapidly spreading like it could engulf everything. The air seemed to freeze, the growing aura was terrifying.
But moments later, somewhat drained, she covered her eyes with her elbow. When she moved it away, only calm and indifference remained in her eyes. All the previous emotions were as if they never existed, vanishing without a trace.
With a slight frown, Flossie Wright rubbed her temples and sat up from the tree trunk.
Perhaps it was because she didn’t sleep well, she felt a bit groggy, even slightly dizzy.
"Glenn Hutchinson."
Catching a figure appearing in her line of sight, Flossie Wright furrowed her brows even more and called out his name with an icy tone.
In fact, Glenn Hutchinson was heading toward her. Hearing his name, he paused and looked at her with slight confusion.
The withered yellow leaves fluttered down from the trees. Some landed on his shoulder, only to fall once more under the breeze, gently swirling to the decayed ground and then becoming still.
After calling his name, Flossie Wright didn’t say anything else, instead fixed her gaze on him. She examined him carefully. However, this sudden examination was beyond anyone’s comprehension, indicating nothing about what she might be thinking.
Glenn Hutchinson stood quietly at his spot, lifting his gaze to meet hers, but he didn’t break the strange silence.
"When did you enlist?"

After a long while, Flossie Wright finally spoke, raising an unexpected question.
"Six years ago."
"When did you join the Forces?"
"Five years ago."
Glenn Hutchinson didn’t hide anything about this.
But he clearly saw a flicker in Flossie Wright’s eyes, and her vigilance noticeably decreasing.
Immediately after, Flossie Wright turned around and effortlessly jumped down from the tree.
"You’re leaving now, aren’t you?"
With slow steps, she reached Glenn Hutchinson’s front, gazed at him calmly and asked lightly.
Glenn Hutchinson looked at her solemnly, his instincts telling him something was off with Flossie Wright.
She seemed too cold.
"Take care."
With a slight nod, Flossie Wright uttered emotionlessly, walking directly past Glenn Hutchinson.
However, the moment she passed Glenn Hutchinson, she suddenly halted, turning her head to look at his profile. She spoke deliberately, "By the way, I still don’t like soldiers."
