Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen novel Chapter 68

--【What a hit! I was so bloody pissed off before!】

--【Who's that chick? I don't know her, and I thought all the folks coming were celebs. Where did this normal person come from?】

--【Eileen is the absolute best!】

--【Eileen is really something. She dared to go hand-to-hand with that wolf and took on three at once! She's incredible!】

--【I had to go back and watch it again. If I'm not mistaken, it was Egbert's thrown knife that hit the wolves' hind legs at the same time as Eileen's. Did I see that right?】

--【You're not wrong. It was Egbert's throw. I really didn't expect him to be that good.】

--【What the hell is Eileen talking about?】

----【I went back to look at how Egbert climbed the tree. He got up a four-meter tree in two seconds. That speed is not human!】

--【I tell you, that speed is special forces level.】

--【Special forces?】

--【Could it be that rumor is true? When Egbert first entered the entertainment industry, there was a rumor that his father was a high-ranking military officer and that he grew up in the army, but then all the news was cleared.】

--【Huh? The gossip I heard was that Egbert's family was in business and they were rich.】

--【There are too many rumors; don't believe everything. Just watch the show.】

The rugged and winding mountain road at night was quite a challenge for an injured man and two helpless ordinary people.

Eileen deliberately didn't walk fast, and she led the way.

Egbert was helping the wounded soldier, walking behind her.

At the very back, following them was Hedy, whose cheeks were swollen like bread.

Soon, a fire appeared ahead.

Eileen walked quickly for a few steps, returned to her makeshift camp, took off her backpack, and threw it into the small house.

Then she sit on the ground and told the two men behind her, "Sit wherever you want."

Egbert glanced at her makeshift house and raised an eyebrow.

The soldier also noticed and couldn't help but comment, "Impressive! The house looks simple, but it's insect-proof, disaster-proof, and rain-proof, and it's so complete. But how did you chop down those tree trunks? They're so big, you need an axe, right? There's no big tools in the supply pack, is there?"

Eileen glanced at him and said, "Your compliments are useless. I won't let you stay."

The soldier hurriedly said, "I didn't mean it."

"You need to go to the hospital." A cool man's voice suddenly sounded.

The soldier was stunned, looked at Egbert, and lowered his head to look at his wounded leg in the firelight.

There was a large bloodstain and a bite wound.

His face was pale, but he said, "No, I can hold on."

Eileen poked at the dying fire with a stick, adding some firewood, and said disdainfully, "Are all you rookies like this, putting on a brave face? Don't care about your body?"

The soldier was stunned, looking at Eileen, and said defiantly, "Aren't you a rookie too?"

There were ten rookies and ten celebrities in this show. Although this female soldier was very powerful, she couldn't possibly be a veteran.

"I know who you are." The soldier said softly, "You're Elaine from Military Base No.5, right? I heard you're the rookie king of this class, and you've won a combat championship. But even though you're good, I'm not bad either."

"Elaine is the rookie king?" Eileen leaned back on the rock behind her, crossing her legs, and suddenly chuckled, "She won a combat championship with her childish and ridiculous moves?"

The soldier looked at her confusedly, "Aren't you Elaine?"

Eileen scratched her neck with a stick, smiling, "Who told you I'm Elaine?"

The soldier said uncertainly, "You're beautiful, and you can fight amongst the female soldiers, besides Elaine from Military Base No.5."

"Who told you I'm a female soldier?" Eileen tilted her head.

The soldier was completely stunned, "So you're a male soldier?"

Eileen was speechless.

Eileen casually waved her hand and said, "Although it's a shame to withdraw from the game, health is the most important thing. Your wound needs stitches. It's best to go to the hospital for treatment. Otherwise, it might get infected, and the consequences would be serious."

The soldier frowned, staring at his hand and leg, not saying a word.

This was his decision, after all, and Eileen didn't say anything more.

She asked Egbert again, "How did you get separated from your teammate?"

Egbert hesitated for a while, seeming a bit unsure.

Finally, he said, "He climbed a tree to get bananas and ended up poking a wasp nest. Got chased by the wasps until he was out of sight."

Eileen was a bit surprised, then couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Hahaha, is he a bit of a numbskull?"

Watching her laugh, Egbert’s stern face softened, "Yes, he's a bit of a numbskull."

In the end, the soldier decided to drop out of the competition, valuing his life more.

He summoned the drone above his head and volunteered to quit the game. In less than ten minutes, a military helicopter flew overhead.

Descending from the rope ladder were several medics.

Just then, Hedy suddenly ran out from a corner, shouting, "I want to quit too!"

She really couldn't stand this dangerous place, and she really didn't want to stay for a minute longer!

The medic glanced at her and said coldly. "You're not injured. You don't meet the conditions to quit the game early." They then boarded the helicopter.

Hedy shouted from below, but the helicopter had already flown away.

Hedy was furious. How could she possibly survive in the jungle without anyone protecting her?

And besides, Eileen was still here!

Hedy pondered for a while, and then suddenly, she had an idea.

She slowly walked over to Egbert, squatted down, looked pitifully at his handsome profile, and cooed, "Mr. Reed, I'm really scared."
