Flossie Wright blocked them.
Casually dressed, Flossie strode to the stretcher’s side and, looking at the two stretcher-bearers, calmly said, "Send the person back, don’t delay."
The two military stretcher-bearers glanced at her, looked at each other, and quickly made up their minds.
Carrying the stretcher, they walked away.
"How dare you leave!" Seeing this, the woman became anxious, raised her hand pointing at them, and threatened, "If my daughter isn’t rescued, do you believe I can ruin your future?"
Their steps faltered, then two seconds later, they quickened their pace.
Without turning back.
Hah, future?
The leg of a comrade, a comrade’s whole life, was that less important than their future?
Meanwhile, Willie Ash clenched his fists tightly, and upon seeing the woman’s expression, he couldn’t restrain himself. His fist targeted her face.
Midway, his arm was grabbed.
"Give her to me."
Flossie Wright came to his side, her voice unbelievably cold.
Willie Ash turned his head to look at her and calmed down slightly. The force with which he had been gripping the woman’s collar loosened, and in that instant, the woman was already in Flossie’s grasp.
"Heh, ruin a career, is that it?" Flossie curled her lips into a smirk, her eyes chilling as she said each word distinctly, "I’m telling you now, if that person, the one who was just injured, if he has any complications, I will ruin your entire life!"
Each word, crystal clear, made one’s spine tingle with dread.
Her piercing voice seemed to carry a power that forced the men nearby not to move a muscle.
As her last word fell,
Flossie, gripping her collar, threw a right hook that struck the woman’s jaw!
The woman’s cries of agony rang out.
Her head jerked to the right, and she immediately tasted the blood that filled her mouth.
The woman looked at Flossie furiously, her mouth opening to speak, but blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.
A muffled sound.
Flossie’s fist hit the same spot again.
The woman’s head jerked violently to the right, and with the powerful blow, blood sprayed from her mouth.
The intensity of the blows made the onlookers’ hearts clench, leaving them trembling with fear and chill.
The bystanders were stunned.
Clearly, nobody had expected Flossie Wright to strike so fiercely.
Even Willie Ash, who had been feeling vindicated earlier, was now overtaken by surprise, staring open-mouthed.
In two moves.
The woman could no longer speak.
Intense pain spread from her jaw, leaving her limbs weak. It felt as though her jaw was dislocated, and even a slight movement caused such agony that her eyes rolled back in her head.
"Let her go!"
At this moment, her man finally reacted, walked over with a stern face, and roared at Flossie.
He clenched his fists tightly, as if he was ready to strike at Flossie if she made no move.
"F*ck! Let go of what?"
An irritated voice came from above.
It belonged to a strong-looking man, probably in his mid-twenties, holding a half-smoked cigarette, puffing smoke, and with a stern face, he slid down the rubble.
Appearing at such a moment, all eyes gathered on him.
Frowning, Flossie looked at him a few times, then suddenly she laughed.
"I’ve been annoyed with this woman for a while, nagging incessantly, as if the whole world owes her millions."
Speaking unhappily, the man’s voice was rough and powerful, and no one dared to respond.
He wasn’t in uniform; he wasn’t a soldier.
Apart from Flossie and Willie Ash, everyone knew him—
The parent of a trapped child.
No, to be precise, the child’s uncle.
"Girl, you did a good job. I’ve always detested this kind of woman," he said to Flossie, then he glared at the other parents with a grim face, "Damn, most of you must be intellectuals, right? Even a rough guy like me knows that these people..."
He pointed toward the soldiers, his voice growing more solemn, "These soldiers! They have parents, loved ones. When they come to our place, don’t you think their families worry about them? Do you think you’re the only parents in the world?! Did they all spring from stones?!"
"They have nothing to do with us. Nobody owes us a thing! A soldier’s salary isn’t high; who the hell cares about your little bit of taxes? Think about it, how many people in the world would, without any personal ties, risk their lives to come to our rescue?!"
His crude words left the group of parents dumbfounded.

They felt guilty.
Just now, while the woman condemned the soldiers, they had not intervened because subconsciously, they believed that these soldiers would definitely help them.
They were too anxious, too concerned about their own children.
Doesn’t everyone have a family, loved ones, someone to worry about?
Hearts are made of flesh. These soldiers fought selflessly, and while not all may put their whole heart into it, those who came here risked their lives...
What were they doing just now?
Watching coldly, even, taking pleasure in it!
Even the woman’s husband fell silent, his head bowed, with nothing to say for a moment.
Suddenly, the soldiers nearby, with tight faces, had tears swirling in their eyes.
Even Willie Ash felt warmth in his eyes.
Watching this scene, Flossie Wright’s eyes narrowed slightly, a trace of a smile flickering across them.
Following this—
Off in the distance, a flash of white light caught her attention.
Her gaze grew cold, and turning her head, Flossie scanned a collapsed building.
"Come out!"
Her voice was decisive, each word as if striking against ice.
Shivering, it chilled one to the bone.
