Eating the fish leisurely, Flossie Wright replied with indifference.
After thinking for a moment, Devina Millet shrugged her shoulders and didn’t dwell on it further.
Although she was very suspicious that the golden eagle had come specifically to aid Flossie Wright, she couldn’t figure out how no matter how much she thought about it.
Back at Base, she had never seen a golden eagle, nor had she seen Flossie Wright accompanied by one. Even when Flossie Wright arrived, she hadn’t seen a golden eagle either.

If you were to say they got acquainted in the Jungle—
On one hand, Devina Millet didn’t know where this was, or if golden eagles even inhabited the area. On the other hand, even if there were many golden eagles residing here, was it plausible that they would befriend Flossie Wright at first sight?
She would never believe it even if someone beat her.
That was just too far-fetched.
So, after considering it from all angles, Devina Millet still felt that it was more believable that the golden eagle had come for the roasted fish in Bonnie Reyes’s hands.
After all, who’s to say some strange creature, tired of eating raw food, wouldn’t want to try some cooked food, right?
That point was far-fetched too.
Putting those thoughts aside, Devina Millet still suppressed her doubts and quietly ate her roasted fish.
Meanwhile, Cassie Ferguson, who was "protected" by Bonnie Reyes, had no intention of offering help. It was only after being annoyed by the incessant crying and whining that she finally stood up and walked over to extend a hand to Bonnie Reyes.
Bonnie Reyes, already tired from crying, only wanted a way out of the situation. Now that Cassie Ferguson had come over, she naturally followed the exit given to her gracefully.
Quiet was successfully restored.
A worse fate awaited her.
There were only four fish to begin with, and Cassie Ferguson, Flossie Wright, and Devina Millet each got one. The fish in her hands had been snatched by the golden eagle.
There was no more food left!
And neither Flossie Wright nor Devina Millet had any intention of sharing their food with her.
Bonnie Reyes felt aggrieved inside, and the tears returned to her eyes.
Cassie Ferguson furrowed her brows and passed over the fish she had barely eaten.
Looking up in surprise, Bonnie Reyes’s previous disappointment with Cassie Ferguson dissipated in the wake of this gesture.
Wiping the tears with her hand and choking back sobs, but with a joyful face, Bonnie Reyes said, "Let’s share it."
Cassie Ferguson glanced at her and did not refuse.
Being well-fed was essential for getting things done; there was no use in stubbornly trying to be strong.
Moreover, the reason she offered the fish was simply to avoid owing Bonnie Reyes a favor.
The two of them cut the fish in half and each ate a portion.
However, Flossie Wright and Devina Millet clearly felt that Bonnie Reyes’s gaze toward them was becoming increasingly filled with hostility and belligerence.
As if in her heart, the two of them had truly become outright villains.
If it wasn’t for their mutual desire not to engage with her, another fight would have been almost inevitable.
After eating the roasted fish and extinguishing the campfire, the four prepared to hit the Road again.
The light rain had stopped in the afternoon, but the path ahead became much harder to navigate.
Muddy roads, steep slopes, and dense shrubs.
Most of the time, there was no path ahead, and they had to rely on their own hands to forge one.
The machete cut through the vines and branches ahead time and time again, also depleting their strength.
The air was gloomy and humid, pervading every corner of the Jungle, making even breathing exceptionally difficult.
In the next five hours, the distance they walked was at best half of what they covered in the morning.
"I can’t go on," Devina Millet collapsed to the ground, exhaustion in every bone, and weakly asked Flossie Wright, "How much farther is it to the fourth point?"
