She could hear nothing but the sounds of her boots making contact with the wasteland ground.
Ritsuko could feel the immense heat radiating it almost made her sweat a little.

Donning a desert camoflauge uniform, the wasteland was nothing of the ordinary just the typical tumbleweed blowing in the wind with a few cactuses here and there.
Very few animals lived in these conditions besides scorpions and other insects but Ritsuko didn't care.

She had a look of determination besides it was the perfect place to perfect her combat abilities and get a feel of combat again after all she was itching to shoot something.

She decided to carry a small pouch consisting of water bottles, some food and her grenades. The grenades were kept in separate compartments so she wouldn't confuse the two; By manipulating the reishi within the air she created her trusty dragonov sniper rifle, weighing in at about nine pounds making it very easy to carry around the sniper also had a bipod to steady her weapon.

Ritsuko decided the best course of action would be to scout the surrounding area and find somewhere to camp out, after all you should always be careful anyone could pop out at any moment when her guard down.

A few minutes of walking and she eventually found a small hill to traverse in, the hill had a few places to hide and it had a few means of escape in case things get too hairy, one if the escape routes is running down the hill and making a sharp
left turn into a flat open area Although it's much quicker it doesn't have a lot of ground where she can properly hide.

She layed flat on the ground with her chest down and her back up.

Enabling her to create the ghillie suit, due to the surrounding area she made sure to camouflage correctly since the location is a barren wasteland it'd be appropriate to have a suit that matches the ground.

"And now we play the waiting game"
