Jaqueline was like a country bride abused by an evil old hag from the countryside.
She looked so pitiable.
After Eileen yelled at Jaqueline, she climbed back up the tree, gun in hand, threatening Jaqueline, "If you can't lure five people here within an hour, you won't get to eat today!"
Jaqueline was about to cry herself unconscious. She stared at the supply bag on Eileen's back, which was supposed to be hers.
The bag was hers, the gun parts and food supplies inside were all supposed to be hers.
Eileen said she was helping her carry it because it was too heavy for her.
But she never gave it back!
With no other choice, Jaqueline had to continue crying loudly towards the vast mountain in order to have food to eat later.
She cried her heart out.
An hour later, Eileen had taken down six pursuers.
But then, Eileen began to ponder.
These pursuers were scattered and didn't seem too bright.
She killed several of them without much effort, but how could it be so easy?
What was Egbert plotting?
Eileen was convinced that the pursuers were Egbert's men.
Thinking of Egbert's schemes and tactics during the military exercise competition, Eileen didn't dare to underestimate him. She felt she hadn't seen through Egbert's strategy.
At this point, Jaqueline had cried herself hoarse.
She turned around with red eyes and asked Eileen, "Can I have some water?"
Eileen, annoyed, yelled, "Where am I supposed to get you water from?"
Saying this, she took out an orange from her bag and threw it at Jaqueline, "Eat this!"
The orange was juicy and could moisten the throat, Eileen was using it to quench her own thirst.
Jaqueline thought of the bottle of water she had, but since Eileen wouldn't give it to her, she had no choice but to eat the orange.
As Jaqueline was eating the orange, Eileen was thinking deeply and decided it was time to take the initiative.
She climbed down from the tree and squatted next to Jaqueline.
She told her what was on her mind, "I know you think I'm mean, but it's for the sake of our team's victory. Think about it, I can take you and run, but what about the others? We're a team, comrades, we can't leave them behind. You're so selfish. You want to find your two fake friends, am I right?"
Jaqueline stared at Eileen with an air of resentment, "I’m not selfish! And they are not fake friends!"
Eileen waved her hand dismissively, "Don't get hung up on the details. The point is, we haven't seen the others yet. Maybe they've been captured."
Jaqueline was scared now, "Does that mean they'll lose points?"
Eileen nodded, "Most likely."
Jaqueline panicked, "What do we do?"
Eileen asked, "Have you heard of the strategy of using a beauty to lure others?"
Jaqueline was speechless.
Fifteen minutes later.
Jaqueline went from being a stationary bait tied up, to a moving bait, wearing a camouflage vest, revealing her slender figure, walking around trying to attract enemies.
A soldier noticed Jaqueline alone and approached her with a gun in his hand.
Jaqueline suddenly fell to the ground.
She looked at the pursuer and said in a pitiful tone, "Sir, could you not hurt me?"
The pursuer, not bewitched by her beauty, ordered sternly, "Hands up!"
Jaqueline obediently raised her hands and said, "I don't have a gun, I don't have anything."
She really didn't have anything. It was obvious from Jaqueline's current state, the pursuer didn't know how she'd lost her coat and supply bag.
The pursuer captured Jaqueline.
Jaqueline didn't resist at all and was taken to the base camp.
However, the place they went to wasn't the base camp. There was no commander there, just two other pursuers resting.
The two pursuers were surprised to see their teammate bring Jaqueline back and asked her, "Where's your gear?"
Jaqueline didn't answer, she just stood quietly in the corner.
The two pursuers quickly said, "Don't be so nervous, come and sit."
Jaqueline didn't move, she just stood in the corner.
She was afraid that blood would splash on her in a bit.
Five minutes later, Eileen killed all three guys in the rest area and then turned to glare at Jaqueline.
Jaqueline had lost the coquettish demeanor she'd had in front of the pursuers.
Under Eileen's threat, she said with a panic-stricken face, "I tried my best..."
