Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen

Chapter 93

For the next three days, Lucas and Eddie had been with Eileen’s crew.

By day four, Eddie was used to this lifestyle.

Whenever it’s time for a meal, he’d be right there with bowl in hand.

At first, Lucas was a bit of a tough nut to crack.

But, before he knew it, he’d given up resisting and was just going with the flow.

On the evening of the fourth day, Lucas did a quick tally of their spending.

He looked at Eddie, who was picking his teeth, with a worried look, “We’ve burned through nearly fifty grand.”

Eddie was taken aback, scratching his head looking at the figures on the ground, “Did we really spend that much? I didn’t notice.”

Lucas was bummed, “We gotta at least make it to third place, or we’re gonna be broke.”

Eddie gave him a pat on the shoulder, “No worries, I’ve got this. Plus, the third-place prize is thirty grand each. That’s sixty grand for the two of us. So, we’ve only spent less than fifty grand. We’ve still got some left.”

Lucas thought Eddie was just too extravagant.

In the last few days, Eileen and her group had gathered a bunch of info, which they had also bought.

The clues on the map were now all laid out.

These clues connect as follows: Head southeast, encounter a circular pond, turn left at the first corner, pass through a grove of banana trees, continue for half an hour, and you’ll reach a snake-shaped cave where the map is located.

But after two days of walking, they still hadn’t come across the circular pond, nor seen any other teams.

Lucas started to think they might have taken a wrong turn.

He took his doubts to Eileen’s group for a chat.

As he walked over, he saw Eileen and Elaine lying side by side in the tent.

Eileen cracked an eyelid at the sound of his approach, glanced outside the tent and asked in a raspy voice, “What’s up?”

Lucas said, “twanted to talk about our route.”

Eileen waved him off, “Talk to Egbert, he’s got this. Not my department.”

So, Lucas had no choice but to go to Egbert.

After a half-hour chat with Egbert, he went back to his tent.
