Chapter 95
This night seemed to stretch on forever.
Eileen was carefully tending to the campfire, stealing glances at Egbert from the corner of her eye.
Ever since she had spilled her guts to him earlier, Egbert had been wearing a serious expression.
Feeling on edge, Eileen attempted to distract him, “Want some snacks?”
Egbert didn’t respond.
Eileen went into the tent and fetched a food box filled with leftover roast mushrooms and bugs.
She opened the lid, found the fattest bug and held it out to Egbert’s mouth, “Eat up.”
Egbert glanced at her and, in the end, opened his mouth to eat the bug.
Seeing him willing to eat, Eileen let out a sigh of relief and quickly held out another one.
Egbert only ate those two, then he closed the lid of the box.
Eileen asked, “Not hungry?”
Egbert set the box aside and calmly said, “I’m saving some for you.”
Eileen hurriedly said, “You can eat as much as you want, it’s not a big deal!”
Egbert looked at her, “Why?”
Eileen replied, “Because you’re different.”
Egbert scoffed, “Why am I different? Is it because you’re trying to ditch me and now you’re trying to
make it up to me?7
Eileen quickly denied, “No, it’s not like that. I’m nice to you because…”
She suddenly stopped.
Egbert looked at her, “Because what?”
Eileen shook her head.
Egbert frowned, “Spill it.”
Eileen carefully said, “You have to promise not to get mad if I tell you.”
Egbert suddenly didn’t want to know.
[Stop asking, really, I’m a bit scared.]

In the end, Egbert decided to trust Eileen again and calmly said, “I won’t get mad, tell me.”
Hearing this, Eileen felt relieved.
She blurted out, “Because you’re a minority, being nice to you might help me score some brownie
points for my military academy reapplication next year.” Egbert was lost for words.
[I told you to stop asking…Wait, did she mention military academy???]
[Oh my god, Eileen attended the military academy?]
Egbert held his forehead, feeling a sudden headache.
Eileen immediately said, “You promised you wouldn’t get mad.”
Egbert looked at her helplessly, “I’m not mad.”
Eileen thought Egbert was pretty chill. She picked up the food box, opened the lid and kindly said,
“Then keep eating.”
The next morning, Eddie got up to wash up and saw two figures sitting close together by the now
extinguished fire.
From the back, it looked like a man and a woman.
He didn’t think much of it, assuming it was Burton and Elaine.
But when he got a closer look, he nearly jumped up.
It was Eileen and Egbert!
Eileen was sleeping with her head on Egbert’s shoulder, while Egbert was wide awake, looking at
Eddie.
Eddie was so scared he almost screamed.
Egbert glanced at Eddie, then at Eileen sleeping on his shoulder. He gestured for Eddie to keep quiet.
Eileen woke up, sat up and rubbed her neck.
Egbert looked at her, “Are you good?”
Eileen said, “I’m good.”
She yawned and glanced at Eddie, “What’s up with you?”
Eddie wanted to speak, but was met with Egbert’s cold gaze. He quickly shook his head and said,
“Nothing, nothing.”
Eileen didn’t pay it any mind. She turned to Egbert and asked, “When did I fall asleep?”
Egbert said, “I don’t remember.”
Eileen nodded, stood up and called out to the tent, “Everyone, wake up.”
Eddie watched them act like it was no big deal and couldn’t help but wonder if he was overreacting.
After everyone had breakfast, they set off again.
Soon, they found the circular pool.
Everyone was thrilled.
“We’re almost there,” Burton sighed. He was a bit reluctant to leave, the survival trip was actually quite
fun.
At that moment, Elaine tugged at his clothes.
Burton looked at her, “What’s up?”
Elaine pulled him aside and whispered, “We still haven’t gotten Eileen’s blood.”
Burton was stunned, then remembered they still had that mission.
He asked, “What do we do now?”
Elaine said, “We’ve done so much, climbed mountains, swam in rivers, but Eileen hasn’t even had a
single scratch. I’m worried we might not be able to complete the mission…”
“What are you guys doing? Hurry up,” Eileen’s voice suddenly came from ahead.
Elaine and Burton had no choice but to catch up.
They continued on their journey.
According to the information, they crossed a banana grove, walked a bit further and really found the
snake’s den.
“Hiss.” Before they could approach the snake’s den, a large python roared from a tree.
Burton and Lucas moved to the front, cautiously protecting everyone.
Lucas said, “This snake is poisonous…”
Before he could finish, a figure jumped out.
It was obviously Eileen
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLucas shouted, “That snake is poisonous!”
But Eileen had already reached the tree and was facing the python.
The python opened its mouth and attacked Eileen!
Eileen dodged the snake’s attack. As the python flew past her, she grabbed its midsection with one
hand and quickly caught its head with the other.
The white snake showed its sharp fangs.
Eileen’s hands quickly closed together. With a twist of her wrist, she easily secured the python to the
tree, even tying it into a bow.
Lucas was shocked.
Everyone else was speechless too.
After doing all that, Eileen dusted off her hands, walked to the front of the tree hole, peeked inside, then
took out a map.
She didn’t bother to look at the map in detail and simply handed it to Egbert.
Egbert took the map, first glanced at Eileen’s carefree expression, then started to examine the map.
The markings on the map were super tricky.
After a while, Egbert looked up and said, “The exit is close by.”
The exit is close by, which meant time was running out!
Elaine didn’t have time to think too much.
If the python couldn’t harm Eileen, then they had to resort to the last resort!
Elaine gritted her teeth, took big strides forward, held a knife, and rushed towards Eileen.
Burton was taken aback!
Although if it was for a drop of blood, but they shouldn’t hurt Eileen!
Elaine rushed to Eileen, raised the knife high, and shouted, “Eileen, are you willing to make a blood
pact with me and share the future together? From now on, we’ll share our joys and sorrows together!
It’s not about being born on the same day, but dying on the same day!”
Burton was speechless.
Eileen was also stunned, looking at Elaine in front of her.
At this time, Egbert walked over, he stood in front of Eileen, and took the knife from Elaine’s hand..
He said with annoyance, “She’s won’t.”
