Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen

Chapter 83

The camera angle switched, and to everyone’s surprise, a bunch of native kids had captured Hubery and Hedy from team 06 and 07, both covered in dirt, and were leading them towards their camp.

The officer was shocked, “They’ve been nabbed? When did this happen?” The safety of the guests had him on edge instantly.

The soldier explained, “Hubery and Hedy have been together since they met yesterday afternoon. About half an hour ago, Hubery’s teammates heard gunshots. When they went to check it out, they found these native kids had ambushed them and captured them at their resting spot.”

The officer frowned, “Why are you just telling me this now? This is serious!”

The soldier was a bit embarrassed, he had just found out himself. After the gunshots, there were movements from Eileen’s side, so he shifted his focus there. It was more interesting over there, wasn’t it?

The officer thought for a moment, and then said, “Give Egbert the order to rescue Hubery and Hedy.”

The soldier asked, “Should I give the order now?”

The officer frowned, thought again and said, “Find the right time to give the order, keeping his identity a secret is the most important thing.”

The soldier acknowledged, “Yes, sir!”

Meanwhile, Eileen and Egbert were hiding behind a rock slope not far from the native camp.

Eileen anxiously asked Egbert, “Can we go now? They’ve let their guard down. I can sneak in, I won’t confront them! I know that according to humanitarian and primitive civilization protection principles, we’re not supposed to interact with natives and interfere with their culture. But they took my Second Chance Card, I need to get it back, it’s my Second Chance Card!”,

-[LOL, how did it become yours all of a sudden?]

-[You just saw it, it’s not yours yet.]

Egbert nodded, comforting Eileen, whispering, “I know it’s yours, just wait a bit longer, okay?”

-[Ugh, the current film emperor is losing his dignity just for a free meal.]

Eileen reluctantly continued to wait.

All of a sudden, the drone in the sky descended. Eileen, already in a bad mood, glared at it irritably! The drone quickly dodged her and whispered to Egbert, “Mr. Reed, can I have a word?”

Eileen immediately questioned, “Why do you need to step away to talk? Are you going to gossip about me?”

The drone was silent for a moment, discreetly floated behind Egbert, not daring to stick its head out. This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Egbert said, “Don’t scare it.”

Then he said, “I’ll be back soon.”

Eileen watched him step away sulkily.

Egbert was only gone for a moment, he returned quickly. As soon as he came back, the drone flew back up. Eileen curiously asked, “What did it say?”

Egbert shook his head.

Eileen huffed, “Fine, don’t tell me, I don’t want to know anyway.”

Egbert helplessly said, “You’ll know soon anyway.”

And soon enough, Eileen found out. Because she saw Hubery and Hedy, being dragged along by a group of naked children, looking like dumplings.

Eileen went silent. She looked at Egbert, then at the drone in the sky doing its best to stay hidden, then coldly asked, “They’re not going to…”

She didn’t finish her sentence, but her meaning was clear. They’re not going to ask us to rescue Hubery and Hedy, are they?!

Egbert nodded, “Yes.”

Eileen’s mood plummeted. The drone, scared, flew even further away.

Outside, a group of noisy children excitedly told their parents something, then pushed Hubery and Hedy towards them. Hubery and Hedy were terrified, screaming their heads off!

They looked up and shouted, “We quit. Come save us!”

The drone was secretly filming, and the natives had no idea what they were looking at. Some found them annoying and just shoved a

handful of dirt in their mouths.

Hubery and Hedy’s mouths were full of dirt. They were scared out of their minds and couldn’t even spit it out. The natives, however, burst into laughter.

Eileen finally let out a chuckle, she joined in the laughter. Egbert helplessly reminded her, “Keep it down.”

Eileen covered her mouth, but she was still laughing heartily.

The natives tied Hubery and Hedy up in a grass hut. Then a mischievous kid brought over a python and hung it from the hut’s frame. The python’s head was pointed directly at Hubery and Hedy’s faces. Hedy screamed then passed out. Hubery didn’t faint, but he was shaking all over.

A kid seemed to smell something, so he pinched his nose and went over, pointed at Hubery’s crotch and said something. Everyone else started laughing again.

Eileen was now doubled over with laughter, clutching her stomach, “He must have pissed his pants!”

Egbert, helpless, had to hold Eileen to keep her from falling over. There was a look of resignation in his eyes, but also a bit of indulgence.

The native woman who took the Second Chance Card gave it to a kid to play with. The kid had no idea what it was, looked at it for a while then threw it aside.

Normally, they would play with anything new for a long time, but today they had lots of new things. Like two scared outlanders, and two supply bags. Everything in the supply bags was new to them, like flasks, water bottles, and especially lighters, which could produce fire. It was simply magical!

Soon, everything in Hubery and Hedy’s supply bags were dumped out, the empty bags and the Second Chance Card were thrown into a

corner.

Eileen’s eyes lit up at this sight, she immediately looked at Egbert, who finally nodded, “Go, but be careful.”

Once she got the green light, Eileen immediately sprang into action. She took a wide detour and carefully stole the Second Chance Card and two empty bags.

Eileen came running back all hyped up, ready to pull Egbert away.

Egbert hesitated a bit, his gaze drifting towards Hubery and Hedy in the grass hut.

Eileen gave him a curious stare, innocently asking, “What are you looking at?”

Egbert replied, “They…”

Eileen blinked, “They? Who are they? Is there someone there?”

Egbert was taken aback. Eileen deliberately looked at the grass hut for a while, then turned to Egbert with a pitying look, “Poor thing, you’re so young and already your eyesight’s bad. There’s no one there, can you look again?”

Egbert suddenly broke into a smile. He reached out to pat Eileen’s head, gently saying, “Alright, there’s no one.”

Eileen also started chuckling.

Egbert then looked up at the puzzled drone in the sky and casually said, “Sorry, she’s not into it, can’t help you guys. After that, he grabbed Eileen’s hand and led her towards the back of the hill.
