Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen by Lopez family's

Chapter 174

Nine folks split into two groups.

The squad leader took off with seven of them.

Eileen geared up, gave her weapon a check.

Then she grabbed Egbert by the collar, hoisted him up, and said, “Let’s roll.”

Egbert, hands tied behind his back, didn’t put up a fight, just followed her lead.

The mountain road at night was a bit tricky, so they also had to watch out for the red side’s patrolmen.

At nine o’clock, Eileen finally managed to sneak behind the Reds’ high ground.

The guard there was tighter than a drum.

Elaine Lopez and Lucas were on patrol.

Eileen turned to Egbert, asked, “Is Elaine the squad leader?”.

Egbert replied coolly, “No comment.”

Eileen pushed Egbert against a big tree, got in close and said, “You’re my prisoner! You best play ball.”

Egbert chuckled, his gaze fell on the girl’s beautiful eyes, whispered, “Getting info from a captive takes

finesse, didn’t they teach

Of course, Eileen had been taught.

But she wouldn’t resort to violence on Egbert.

After all, this was just a military exercise, not a real battlefield.

She let him go.

Then Egbert said, “Or, you could try to seduce me, I’d fall for that in a heartbeat.”

Eileen shot him a dirty look, then continued to survey the patrol area.

After a while, Egbert suddenly said, “Captain, ever consider trying to recruit me?”

Eileen was taken aback, turned to him, “Recruit you?”

Looking into Egbert’s gentle eyes, Eileen couldn’t help but burst out laughing, “What kind of trick are

you cooking up?”

Egbert feigned innocence, “What trick could I have? I’m all yours now.”

Eileen found his words a little odd.

So she asked, “You trying to run? You trying to set a trap?”

Egbert shook his head, started selling himself, “I’d be easily persuaded, just show me a little benefit, I’d

work loyally for you.”

“Enough.” Eileen didn’t trust Egbert one bit.

Given that he managed to wipe out forty-one of their blue side soldiers in just two hours, the guy was

sly as a fox.

He was absolutely not to be trusted.

Eileen firmly said, “I’m not falling for your tricks! Save your breath!”

Just then, a shift change for the patrol.

Elaine and Lucas were relieved.

When Eileen saw that Jaqueline took over, she couldn’t believe her luck!

But when she saw who else was taking over, she was gobsmacked.

“Burton Lopez is on the red side?” Eileen glared at Egbert, couldn’t believe her eyes.

She had no idea Burton was part of this military exercise.

Egbert raised an eyebrow, “Convinced yet, or…”

Before he could finish, Eileen covered his mouth.

Under Egbert’s amused gaze, she sternly warned him, “Say another word, and you’re going silent!”

Egbert finally shut up.

After a while, Eileen felt the time was right.

She quietly moved forward.

Jaqueline was struggling with her heavy rifle.

She used the gun as a crutch, couldn’t even lift it.

Burton noticed, said a bit annoyed, “A soldier’s life is his gun.”

you

that?”

Jaqueline was taken aback, looked up at the handsome young man, said in a whining voice, “I really

can’t carry it. Look at my hands, they’re red. It really hurts.”

She even walked a couple steps forward, so Burton could see her hands.

Burton didn’t like her too much, took a step back.

Jaqueline moved a step closer, gave a soft laugh, “Are you afraid of me? Are you shy…your clothes

are smoking…”

Burton froze.

He looked back in confusion, realized his laser sensor was triggered.

The smoke meant he was ‘out.”

But how did that happen?

At that moment, Eileen stepped out from behind Burton.

Jaqueline saw Eileen, was about to scream.

Eileen shot her down.

Now Jaqueline was out too.

/Jaqueline was speechless.

Burton saw Eileen, was dumbfounded.

Burton asked, “Auntie, what are you doing here…”

Eileen slapped Burton on the head, scolded him, “You’re dead, shut up!”

Burton sulked, hugged his gun, squatted on the ground.

Eileen turned to Jaqueline, “You squat too.”

Jaqueline knew the drill, out meant you squat, become a corpse.

She was unwilling, but she had no choice but to squat down.

Then Eileen said to the back, “Come out.”

Burton and Jaqueline thought it was her soldier of the blue army.

But when they saw who it was, they were stunned.

“Mr. Reed…”

Egbert looked at Burton, said leisurely, “You’re dead, shut up.”

Burton was speechless.

The solid defense had a crack.

The sneak attack was half successful.

The high ground was vast.

Fifty field soldiers seemed plenty, but covering the entire area, the defense couldn’t be 100% tight.

In the next half hour.

Eileen, with Egbert, like a termite, gnawed from the periphery to the enemy’s inner circle.

However, their good run didn’t last, they were discovered.

Eileen immediately pushed Egbert in front to shield bullets.

The Reds, seeing their commander, didn’t dare to fire.

A stalemate ensued.

Then, Elaine pointed her gun at Eileen’s direction, said, “Auntie… I mean, enemy, just give up. Your

people, they’re all captured!”

She waved her hand.

Then, eight people, including the squad leader, were brought over.

The squad leader saw Eileen, gave her a wink.

Eileen caught his signal, nodded slightly.

Surrendering weapons meant becoming a captive.

So the eight were captives, not killed.

This was something Eileen had agreed with the squad leader beforehand.

At this moment, Elaine said, “Free our commander!”.

Eileen remained silent.

Yet, Egbert suddenly spoke up, “Just shoot them.”

Everyone was stunned.

Elaine didn’t follow the order, but just stared at their commander.

Egbert frowned and ordered again, “Shoot!”

The red side soldiers looked at each other, unable to pull the trigger.

Suddenly, Lucas pointed his gun at Eddie’s head, saying, “Release our commander, or we’ll take

action!”

Eddie was stunned, “Oh my God, are you going to kill me?”

Lucas didn’t answer Eddie’s question, he just stared at Eileen.

Eddie was deeply hurt, almost going mad.

“How could you kill me?” He shouted, broke free and lunged at Lucas.

He yelled at Eileen, “Run!”

Without hesitation, Lucas shot Eddie.

Smoke started to rise from Eddie’s clothes.

Eddie was defeated, devastated.

He looked at Eileen standing still, disappointedly said, “Why didn’t you run?”

Eileen thought Eddie was a fool.

She said, “Why should I run?”

Eddie felt his sacrifice was in vain, he was about to cry.

He glared at Lucas, cursed, “You wait, you’re not gonna sleep tonight!”

Lucas calmly put away his gun, said, “You’re dead, you can’t talk.”

Elaine spoke to Eileen again, “Drop your weapon, and release our commander! Or other blue soldiers

will die too!”

Eileen just sneered.

Shehid more carefully behind Egbert, then started to count down, “Five, four, three, two…”

The red side didn’t know what she meant.

“One…”

At the end of her count, there was a huge explosion.

The whole hilltop erupted with a massive blast!

They were divided into two teams, nine people walked throughout the entire hilltop just to plant bombs.

The bombs were stolen by Eileen from the red side’s armory before Egbert was captured.

The scene was immediately filled with smoke!

The red side was thrown into chaos.

“What the hell!”

“What happened?”

“Why is my detector smoking?”

The squad leader of blue side took advantage of the situation to lead the remaining people to quickly

evacuate.

Eileen also pulled Egbert and quickly retreated.

Five minutes later, the high ground returned to calm.

The eight blue soldiers, who had put on their bomb suits in advance, walked in leisurely with the red

side’s commander.

The smoke gradually dispersed.

The red side was covered in dust.

Everyone was full of grief and indignation, “dying” on the spot.

Eileen walked past them.

Then she turned to ask Egbert, “Mr. Reed, what do you have to say about the complete defeat of your

team?”

Egbert looked into Eileen’s eyes, said softly, “I’m too soft-hearted, and you’re way more badass. I’ve

got nothing to say.”

Eileen chuckled.

At that moment, Colin asked, “So, how should we deal with Mr. Reed?”

Eileen turned and walked in front of Egbert.

She raised the corners of his mouth with two fingers.

Then she said with a grin, “He’s my spoils of war, I’m taking him with me.”
