Sharp eyes, a chilling gaze, as cold as the gradually cooling night.
A chill came, and the young lad instinctively fell silent, looking in the direction of the gaze, but someone stopped him midway.
"Winsley Scott."
Rowdy Brightwill gave him a warning look, signaling him not to proceed any further.
Rowdy Brightwill, who had been an instructor in the rookie camp for a while, clearly understood the capabilities of the rookies. Although Janice Wood was not impressive, she was always amongst the top when it came to military skills. Plus, he had seen Flossie Wright’s target paper; her true strength was not as simple as it appeared on the surface.
Suddenly, Flossie Wright’s cold voice wafted over.
Winsley Scott was taken aback, realizing that she was responding to Rowdy Brightwill. But quickly, he showed a "it’s given" expression on his face. It was harder for him to believe these two women could slip safely into the mountains and take out the prisoners than to concede defeat to Glenn Hutchinson and the others.
At this moment, Flossie Wright turned her head towards Janice Wood, her eyebrows raised, the firelight flickering on her face, casting a vague shadow.
"Since the Marine Corps looks down on us rookies, why don’t you show them what you got?"
Janice Wood, who had been indifferent to Winsley Scott for a long time, did not hesitate. Without a second thought, she picked up her gun, aimed at Winsley Scott, and shot him after pulling the trigger, so fast no-one had a chance to stop her.
Terrifying.
Tension, shock, palpitations.
In an instant, even the air seemed to freeze. The cool evening breeze blew, raising goosebumps on everyone’s skin.
Winsley Scott was utterly stunned. His eyes were wide open, his pupils dilated, his face stupefied. A sensation of an airflow passing over his scalp remained. Shock and surprise slowly turned into fear and dread.
His heart was beating fiercely. He suddenly felt a bit parched.
However, not just him, even Rowdy Brightwill looked astonished. Janice Wood, in his memory, was a rule-abiding person. She had excellent grades but a low presence, the inconspicuous type in a crowd.
But now, she is determined and composed, confidence twinkling in her eyes. She started to shine when no one expected her to.
Rowdy Brightwill suddenly thought of Flossie Wright. Almost subconsciously, his gaze shifted onto the female soldier next to him.
She was sitting leisurely in her original spot. Her painted face was calm and collected, her eyes and brows revealed faint amusement. A dazzling light shone from her eyes, every gesture exuding relaxation and naturalness, as though she was very pleased with Janice’s shot, but what was more, was the confidence of having everything under control.
Yes, you are influenced by your company. Those close to ink get stained black.
After being in contact with someone as cocky as Flossie Wright for long, Janice’s change was inevitable.
"Impressive."
Willie Ash glanced approvingly towards Janice Wood, then nudged the sniper next to him with his hand.
To be honest, Janice Wood in their eyes, was nothing more than a green rookie. But their shooting skills were honed with bullets, shooting more bullets in one day than all the rookies did combined. So for these rookies, Janice’s shooting skills were indeed top-notch.
Moreover, she is a female soldier.
As for Glenn Hutchinson, from the beginning till the end, he kept his eyes straight, seemingly more tempted by the delicacies than a rising sharpshooter.
"How did you find it, still satisfied?" Flossie Wright looked at Winsley Scott, her expression indifferent.
Only after being asked by Flossie Wright, did Winsley Scott react from the shock. Yet, he did not feel any anger towards the bullet that flew over his head, instead, he felt an unexpected embarrassment.
