National Survival: I Supported the Dragon Nation by Hunting Dinosaurs

This article uses science to create various things in the prehistoric world, taking ideal conditions into account.

Blue Star, 2124 AD.

The sky was a deathly gray, and the air smelled of sulfur after acid rain.

When resources are exhausted, civilization will die.

Just as all of humanity was fighting each other for the last sip of synthetic nutrient paste, a cold and majestic voice suddenly exploded in the minds of seven billion people.

[Warning! Earth's resources are running out; the civilization restart program has been activated.]

A survival game set in a prehistoric dinosaur world has arrived!

The rules are as follows:

[Part 1: 200 representatives from each of 197 countries worldwide were selected and transported to a prehistoric dinosaur world for an extreme survival challenge.]

[II. Players can "sacrifice" resources to the system once a day. The system will score and rank them. The top players will trigger the materialization of "hundred times" to "hundred thousand times" of resources and return them to their country.]

[III. Each player initially possesses a random melee weapon, combat uniform, and 1 cubic meter of storage space.]

[IV. The nation may airdrop supplies to athletes once every seven days.]

[5. If all athletes in a country die, that country will suffer a natural disaster that wipes out 99% of its population.]

The sound faded.

The world is in an uproar.

Countless beams of light shot into the sky, and the chosen ones were being marked.

Dragon Kingdom, River City.

In a cheap rental room, Zhang Lizheng squeezed the last bit of toothpaste-like green synthetic paste into his mouth.

It tastes like moldy sawdust.

But he swallowed it without expression.

A beam of light pierced through the yellowed ceiling and enveloped him.

Zhang Li wiped his mouth, his handsome, even sickly pale face showing no emotion.

He simply looked down at his thin wrist.

"Finally, I don't have to eat this stuff anymore."

He spoke so calmly, as if he were saying the weather was nice today.

At this moment, the global live stream begins.

Giant holographic screens float above major cities.

The lists of countries scrolled rapidly, and the barrage of comments exploded like a tsunami.

[The list of countries with the US military presence has been confirmed!]

LeBron James, former football legend, the pinnacle of human physical ability!

Stephen Gurry, three-time champion of the All-Eagle Shooting League!

[MacArthur, a five-star general and commentator!]

Will Smith, former Navy SEAL ace!

......

"This lineup... the US is going to sweep the field!"

"With seals, legendary athletes, and professional shooters, who can compete?"

List of countries on which the sun never sets

Bear Grylls, the legendary wilderness survival master, "the man at the top of the food chain!"

[Ed Stafford, the legendary wilderness survival master, once trekked across the Amazon in 860 days!]

......

"Holy crap! Bear Grylls and Ed Stafford were both chosen?"

"The UK, the land on which the sun never sets, is practically cheating!"

[List of countries with cherry blossoms]

[Umekawauchi is cool, Xiao Chundanzi]

.......

The camera then shifts to the Dragon Kingdom region.

[The roster of Chinese players is being confirmed...]

Leng Feng, a former ace special forces soldier, once single-handedly completed an evacuation mission from Africa!

Li Yue, a well-known female basketball player!

Huang Xiaoying, Captain of the Dragon Kingdom Women's Bodyguard Team!

Huang Guozhong, a renowned Bajiquan master!

Zhang Li is a current student at Jiangcheng University.

......

At this moment, viewers from other countries flooded into the Dragon Kingdom's live stream room.

Japan: "That fragile college student, I bet he won't survive the first second after landing!"

South Korea: "Look at that tiny body, thinking it can survive in the dinosaur world? We've selected only the absolute elite!"

The United States: "China's fate is sealed!"

Chinese netizens were outraged by the mockery from abroad.

"When is Mount Fuji going to erupt in Japan? Remember to livestream it!"

"What else can South Korea do besides stealing other people's culture? Are they going to claim they invented dinosaurs again?"

"Has the statistics on shootings in the US been released yet? Don't let your players start fighting amongst themselves!"

The global live stream is now in complete chaos.

Viewers from various countries engaged in a heated exchange, and the buzz skyrocketed.

No one knows what kind of soul sleeps beneath Zhang Li's frail body.

Zhang Li, an absolute ace special forces soldier from another world.

He is proficient in wilderness survival and science, and has mastered 137 killing techniques.

I died three years ago during a top-secret mission and was transported into this body.

Although bodily functions decline, those instincts etched into the bones never disappear.

[Teleportation countdown: 3...2...1...]

The white light engulfed everything.

When he opened his eyes again, he was surrounded by giant ferns that blotted out the sky.

Each leaf was bigger than him.

The tree canopy soars into the clouds, and sunlight can only manage to cast dappled, patchy rays.

The air is extremely fresh and has a very high oxygen content.

It was filled with the smell of rotting leaves, the fishy odor of damp earth, and a chilling, animalistic scent.

"boom--!"

A deafening roar came from afar.

Zhang Li did not panic; his body instinctively used the bushes for cover.

Through the gaps in the leaves, he witnessed a breathtaking scene.

Several kilometers away, a colossal beast, resembling a moving mountain, slowly passed by.

Its long neck pierces the clouds.

With each step, the ground trembled.

Brachiosaurus.

Zhang Li had seen the skeleton of this thing in a museum in his previous life, but seeing the real thing was a completely different experience.

The world is far more dangerous than we expected!

Humans only need weapons, tools, and shelter.

Relying solely on one's supposedly superior wisdom is laughably fragile in the face of an absolute power disparity.

He withdrew his gaze and began to observe his surroundings.

The vegetation density is extremely high, severely limiting visibility, and deadly threats may lurk in any direction.

Just then, a cold, mechanical voice rang in my mind.

[Host's environment detected...Prehistoric dinosaur world]

[The ultimate dinosaur hunting system is activated!]

[New player gift pack has been distributed: Dinosaur Hunting Roulette (not yet unlocked)]

[Unlock condition: Achieve the server-wide first kill!]

[The host will receive one chance to spin the roulette wheel each time they successfully hunt a new species of dinosaur!]

Zhang Li raised an eyebrow slightly.

system?

Dinosaur Hunting Roulette... First kill on the entire server...

He glanced at the system panel, then looked at the moving mountain in the distance—a Brachiosaurus was leisurely munching on the tender leaves on the treetop.

Then look down at the initial dagger in your hand.

The blade is no more than twenty centimeters long.

Piercing a human body is enough, but what about dealing with such a behemoth?

It's not even good enough to scratch its itch.

Is this a joke?

Zhang Li's lips twitched.

Is this stupid system trying to make me stab a Brachiosaurus's toes with a dagger?

Just as he was about to study the system's functions in detail, a line of golden text suddenly popped up on the panel.

[New user detected. One free chance to win a prize!]

[Dinosaur Hunting Roulette - Demo Version Now Available!]

Before Zhang Li's eyes, a giant, illusory roulette wheel appeared.

The roulette wheel is divided into six sections, each flashing with a different color of light.
