Chapter 65


    ine frowned, asking in confusion, “How did you?”


    “Prize money”” The girl opposite her suddenly rushed over, grabbing ine’s shoulder with a force that


    was somewhat terrifying. “There’s prize money? How much? How much? Tell me, how much is it?”

    ine was shaken until she felt dizzy, stammering out. First ce,one hundred thousand dors.”


    The shaking suddenly stopped


    ine, dizzy managed to stand up straight. When she lifted her eyes, she saw Eileen look at her with


    fierce anticipation.


    “We have toe first! If you mess me up and cost me the prize money. I’ll throw you to the wolves


    Eileen warned her


    ine was left totally clueless by the outburst.


    She angrily pushed Eileen’s hand away, heading straight forward. “I won’t mess you up. just don’t mess


    with me! I’m also aiming for first ce. If I can’t get first, then I might as well best. What are you


    doing?”


    ine was suddenly pulled back


    Turning to look, it was Eileen who had grabbed her backpack.


    Eileen quickly snatched ine’s backpack, slinging it over her own shoulders Tll carry the bag. Ill scout


    ahead, you just follow behind and don’tg For a hundred grand, I’m all in!”


    ine was stunned and wanted to reach for her bag, but a thin branch smacked her hand back. Her


    hand turned red instantly.


    Eileen turned to her with a fierce look, “Touch my stuff again, and I’ll smack you!”


    ine was speechless.


    The stuff in the bag belonged to both of them. And as a soldier, she would definitely prioritize a


    civilian’s needs. Was she worried ine would take the stuff for herself?


    ine’s face darkened, wondering what Mr. Reed saw in this girl.


    But as Eileen had already assumed the role of leader, ine decided not to argue and quietly followed


    behind.


    It was almost noon


    The sun above them felt like it was baking them alive.


    They had walked for a while, and the heat was getting worse.


    ine had already taken off her coat, revealing the camouge tank top underneath.


    Seeing Eileen still didn’t intend to stop, she couldn’t help but suggest, “Let’s take a break.”


    The girl in front turned around to give her a disdainful look.


    ine hesitated, then exined, “I’m not trying to ck off. It’s February now, and we’re in the


    southem hemisphere, in Brazil. It’s summer here, and the temperature in the rainforest can vary greatly


    between day and night. Right now, it’s the hottest point of the day. almost 40 degrees Celsius. If we


    keep going, we’ll get dehydrated.”


    Eileen saw that ine was indeed sweating a lot and said irritably, “Why are you so weak?”


    ine retorted, “I’m not weak” She hadn’t finished speaking when she saw Eileen’s sweat-free


    forehead and shut up.


    She was surprised. This girl had incredible stamina and physical strength


    Eileen finally stopped to amodate ine She opened the backpack to check their supplies.


    Aside from some necessary ropes, a lighter, a shlight, and othermon tools, there were only two


    bottles of water, two packs ofpressed biscuits, and two sleeping bags in the backpack


    Eileen was surprised. “Is that all?”


    ine wanted to grab a biscuit, but her hand was pped away just as it touched the food.


    ine withdrew her hand,ining. “Why did you hit me?”


    Eileen frowned, zipping up the backpack. “We can’t eat these. We have to save them!”


    ine frowned, “The biscuits and water are our food for the day We can set traps to hunt at night.


    There are wild chickens and other animals in the forest. We can get food by tomorrow morning”


    “What if there’s no food? Eileen looked around, finally pointing to arge tree not far away. “We can eat


    that”


    ine looked over, “Do you know what that is? The flora and fauna in the rainforest can be very


    dangerous. If you eat something


    “That’s an Ink Berry. It tastes sour, and the skin and seeds can be used as medicine. It’s amon


    herb, and edible, not poisonous,” Eileen cut her off


    ine was taken aback, looking at Eileen in confusion, “You can recognize herbs?”


    “I know a few” Eileen finished, slung the backpack over her shoulder, and started climbing the tree


    She climbed so nimbly that ine felt like she had blinked, and Eileen was already up the tree, shaking


    the branches.


    Soon a bunch of bernes fell from the tree


    A few minutester, Eileen decided she had enough and jumped down from the tree, which was three


    meters high


    ine’s eyes widened


    She could jump from such a height without needing to buffer the fall.


    Eileen picked up a whole fruit, wiped it with her sleeve, took a bite, and nodded, “Pretty good. It doesn’t


    taste sour”


    ine picked up a fruit, bit into it, and found it a little bitter and astringent


    It tasted awful


    ine didn’t really want to eat it, but when she looked up, she saw Eileen had already finished one and


    was picking up others.


    ine hesitated, then took another bite.


    Eileen collected all the Ink Bernes in her hat, found a big tree to sit under and started eating


    Eileen had eaten over a dozen and was almost full. Seeing ine hadn’t finished even one, she asked,


    “Do you feel a little numb in your mouth?


    ine immediately nodded, “I noticed it earlier!”


    Eileen said, That’s right, Ink Berries have a numbing effect.”


    ine stiffened, looking at the remaining fruit in her hand, almost ready to cry. “Why didn’t you say so


    earlier?”


    Eileen casually picked some small leaves from a nt by the road, bit off the tenderest part, and put it


    in her mouth.


    ine asked, “What are you eating now?”


    “Lemon Bar,” Eileen said, “It tastes sour, and the stem can be used as medicine. These leaves can


    relieve numbness and refresh your mind. Eat some, and your mouth will stop feeling numb.” She


    generously handed ine the leaves in her hand


    ine tentatively ate a piece, put it in her mouth, and after a while, she found that her mouth wasn’t as


    numb anymore.


    She eximed happily. “It really works!”


    Eileen shot her a nce, “What a dumbass.”


    ine was speechless. She didn’t know about medicine or these nts. What’s so weird about it?


    She turned her head, ignoring Eileen.


    But she got the point – Eileen wouldn’t let her eat thosepressed biscuits anymore. She reluctantly


    munched on the fruits and grass


    tps


    it felt kind of numb, then the numbness disappeared. She felt like she was eating poison and antidote


    back to back without knowing why


    When she no longer felt hungry, ine straightened her clothes, ready to tell Eileen to hit the road.


    But she saw Eileen climbing the tree again


    “What are you doing?”


    “I’m picking more fruits, so that we can eat themter, Eileen replied from the tree branch. She started


    shaking the branch, “Catch.”


    ine stood under the tree in disbelief


    What? Did she have to eat this for dinner too?


    I saw this show on Twitter is there really an Eileen?]


    [Poor ine! It reminded me of Egberts Nightmare biscuits and the four free sushi meals in Traveller

    [Eileen. As long as it’s free, I can keep eating Spend money on food? Use up supplies? Over my dead


    body.)


    [So annoying, I’m trying to sleep here. Seeing this reality show, are they trying to keep me up all night?
