Chapter 173
About half an hour later.
In the temporary hideout of the blue side soldiers, nestled in the hillside.
Eight blue side soldiers impassively watched as Mr. Reed, with his hands tied behind his back, was escorted down with his head held low.

Eileen tossed Egbert into a corner and asked the squad leader, “Any problems?”
The squad leader couldn’t help but glance at Mr. Reed, her eyelid twitching incessantly.
After a moment of hesitation, she said, “No, no major issues, but the commander knows you went rogue and turned off your radio. She wants you to report to her when you get back.”
Eileen simply grunted in response.
She was about to turn on her radio when she suddenly noticed the enemy commander nearby.
Just to be safe, she stepped out of the hillside to talk on the radio outside.
As soon as Eileen left, the hillside became eerily quiet.
Eight pairs of eyes unanimously turned to Mr. Reed.
Eddie cautiously asked, ‘How were you captured?”
Egbert calmly looked at him and coolly replied, “I’m not as good as her.”
Eddie’s mouth twitched.
He thought to himself, weren’t your combat skills supposed to be superior to hers?
Just as he was about to say something, the squad leader patted Eddie, signalling him to keep quiet.
After a while, Eileen returned.
She put down her radio, sat in front of Egbert, and began to undress him.
Egbert was stunned.
So were the others!
Eddie quickly protested, “Isn’t this a bit too much? He’s our instructor, and we’ll still have to train under him after today. There’s no need to humiliate him like this, is there?”
Eileen frowned and said, “Aaron said that both commanders are equipped with special signal transmitters that can broadcast satellite positions.”
Colin gasped, “Does that mean our location has been exposed?”
Eileen replied, “No, his hands were tied all the way here, so the transmitter should still be off. I’m going to find it first.”
As she spoke, she had already taken off Egbert’s jacket, then checked the cuffs, collar, and all other places that could potentially hide a chip.
Finding nothing suspicious, she threw the jacket aside.
Then she began to unbuckle Egbert’s belt.
“The belt… probably doesn’t have it…” Eddie stammered.
Colin also quickly advised, “Mr. Reed, just hand over the transmitter, or else she might strip off your pants!”
Egbert sat there calmly, allowing Eileen to search him.
He lightly chuckled, “I don’t know.”
Mathway.
Eileen glanced at him and snorted, “I didn’t expect you to tell me anyway. I’ll find it myself.”
With that, she threw the checked belt aside.
Then she really began to undress Egbert’s pants.
A drone in the sky faithfully recorded the scene and transmitted it in real time to the official live broadcast room.
I can’t believe it!]
-[Oh, my God!]
-[Eileen, you dare to strip his pants off! Are you even a woman? Oh, you’re not a woman!]
fGod, this is too exciting, I’m going to die of excitement! Strip, hurry up and strip, I’ve already paid, I want to see the exclusive content for members!]
-[Audience in the front row, didn’t you forget to switch your account? Is this really what you should say as a fan of Egbert!]
Ah, I didn’t notice. I’ll switch account immediately. Nevermind, let me finish watching this first! Hurry up and strip!]
[Ah, is she really going to strip? I’m so shy!]
-[Eileen is too much, how can she strip someone else’s pants off, the transmitter could never be hidden in the pants. It must be in the underwear! Hurry up and strip off his underwear too, no censorship, or I’ll report your show!]
“Captain!” Eddie and Colin, terrified at Eileen’s outrageous action, were on the verge of tears.
Both of them rushed up to block Eileen’s hands and volunteered, “Let us do it, we’ll handle the rough work of frisking!”
Egbert looked displeased at the two people.
Eileen silently got up and stepped aside.
She never intended to strip Egbert’s pants off in front of everyone.
She was just trying to scare Egbert
She picked up the jacket from the ground and used it to cover Egbert’s body.
Eileen told Eddie and Colin, “Search thoroughly.”
Eddie swallowed hard and hesitantly reached out his hand, saying nervously, “Mr. Reed, sorry for the inconvenience…”
“Hold on.”
Egbert’s face had changed at this point.
He glanced at Eileen, who was standing nearby with a cold expression, and after a long pause, sighed and said, “The shoe sole.”
At his words, Eileen forcefully pushed Eddie and Colin aside.
She squatted down and indeed found a groove in the sole of Egbert’s right shoe.
A smile appeared on her face,
Eileen took off the shoe and used a small knife to pry open the area.
Inside, a small chip fell out.
Picking up the little thing, Eileen asked someone nearby, “Lighter.”
Someone handed her a lighter.
Eileen burnt the chip to ashes on the spot.
After stamping out the ashes, she got up, tossed the shoe, belt, and jacket to Eddie and Colin, and ordered them, “Put these back on him.”
Eddie and Colin were about to move.
Egbert said, “No need.”
Eileen snorted and didn’t look too pleased, “Suit yourself!”
With that, she walked over to the other side and started discussing something in whispers with the squad leader.
-[What?]
-[That’s it?]
-[I’ve taken off my pants, and this is all I get to see?]
-[That’s it? Eileen, are you a chicken! Keep stripping, I’m ready!]
-[I want to see that, please let me see that…]
-[Forget about that! God, what’s wrong with the comments? This pornographic live broadcast will be banned sooner or later!]
The time was now half past seven in the evening.
In the quiet mountains, the only sounds were the nocturnal sounds of insects.
Eileen spoke with the squad leader for a long time.
The situation was pretty straightforward now.
The red side had fifty people and had occupied the high ground.
If they could hold out until ten o’clock that night, when the contest ends, they would win without fighting.
The blue side, on the other hand, had only nine people left.
Three of them were celebrity guests who were out of energy and couldn’t fight.
Six were combat-ready personnel.
After a thorough analysis and discussion,
Eileen whipped out the defense combat map she’d snitched from Egbert.
She lit up the map with a flashlight, and told the squad leader, “Going in guns blazing is not an option, since we’re short on gear, supplies, and bodies. It’d be suicide. But if we slink in from the rear, take this route, we might just pull this off.”
The squad leader looked at the spot she was pointing at, and gave a nod.
Then she turned to Mr. Reed on the other side, and asked, “And what about Mr. Reed?”
“He’s our hostage.”
Eileen said, “At crunch time, we can use him to put the squeeze on the Reds.”
The squad leader felt a tad awkward, “Isn’t that kinda dirty?”
Eileen scoffed, “Oh, like they’re saints when they play double agents, pretend to be prisoners, and ambush our other squads? Let’s call a spade a spade, they’re into playing dirty, so can I. Or, to put it nicely, it’s all just tactics, If they can use tactics, why can’t we?”
The squad leader was at a loss for words, swayed by Eileen’s argument.
She resolutely said, “Alright!”
Eileen pointed again at the map, “You take the others and head this way, stick to the plan. I’ll take Egbert, we’ll loop around from this side, and meet up here in the
end.”
The squad leader agreed.
Before leaving, she asked with a hint of worry, “You sure you can handle Mr. Reed
Eileen suddenly chuckled, “You think be can slip out of my control?”
