National Survival: I Supported the Dragon Nation by Hunting Dinosaurs
Chapter 22 The Dragon Breaks Free from its Shackles, and a Heroic Farewell Under the Sunset
United States Headquarters.
After the Indian representative put forward that groundbreaking proposal, the entire meeting room fell silent.
Should the permanent seats of the Dragon Kingdom be revoked?
Should the veto power be revoked?
This is tantamount to trying to pull out a dragon's teeth in front of the whole world.
A look of ecstatic joy flashed in the eyes of the representative from the Sakura Kingdom, who was the first to second the motion: "I agree! The Dragon Kingdom's veto power has become a stumbling block to the development of 'freedom' in the world!"
Immediately afterwards, representatives from more than a dozen small countries that were allied with the United States raised their hands and cast their votes in favor.
The representative from Wildebeest Kingdom was so excited that his face turned red.
However, the most bizarre scene unfolded...
The representative from the Dragon Kingdom remained calm and composed throughout, even sporting a faint smile on his face.
He did not refute it, nor did he even look at the veto button that symbolized ultimate power.
He acquiesced.
The smile on the face of the American representative froze instantly.
Cold sweat beaded on his forehead, and his heart pounded wildly.
madman!
Those Indian idiots are crazy!
Don't they understand?
Once the proposal is passed, the Dragon Kingdom will no longer be bound by any rules.
Who will be the first dragon to be torn to pieces after it has broken free of all its shackles?
The answer is self-evident.
"I object!"
To everyone's astonishment, the representative of the United States slammed his hand on the table and pressed his own veto button!
"absurd!"
He spoke with righteous indignation, as if he were the embodiment of justice.
"The athletes' individual actions represent their personal will and should not be elevated to the national level! Competition is a reasonable reflection of the survival philosophy in the dinosaur world, and we should have faith in our athletes!"
A series of combined punches left the representatives from India and Wildebeest Country completely bewildered and seeing stars.
big brother...
That's not how the script goes!
End of the meeting.
The representative from the Dragon Kingdom slowly rose to his feet, his steady figure, as solid as a mountain, bringing a tremendous sense of pressure to the entire audience.
His gaze didn't linger on anyone, but when he passed the representatives of the Wildebeest Kingdom, he paused slightly, his eyes sweeping over them like a sharp blade.
Just one glance.
The Wildebeest Kingdom representative felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, his whole body stiffening.
The Dragon Kingdom representative withdrew his gaze, said nothing, and left without a word.
But everyone knows that some things have changed.
Without the constraints of law and morality, the dinosaur world, driven entirely by individual will and desire, would be in turmoil.
……
The cave was filled with a fragrant aroma.
Zhang Lizheng was focused on his dinner.
He tore off a piece of roasted, golden-brown scallop leg and put it in his mouth.
It wasn't as tender and juicy as I had imagined; instead, it had a wild, firm texture and was very chewy.
"Does diet determine meat quality...?"
Ornithopterus is omnivorous, and its meat is relatively tender.
Compsognathus was an all-carnivorous animal, and its muscle fibers were more developed.
Without a pressure cooker, it's not easy to stew it until it's tender.
But when the tip of the tongue touches those tiny, glistening grains of salt, everything changes.
The saltiness instantly ignites the umami flavor deep within the meat, perfectly blending with the rendered fat, creating a primal meaty aroma that explodes in your mouth.
It tastes even better than the meat of the bird-eating dinosaur!
Zhang Li leaned against the cave entrance, enjoying his food while watching the sunset.
The orange-red glow dyed the sky red, reflecting on the boundless primeval forest below.
The air is fresh, and every breath feels like a cleansing of the lungs.
At that moment, he suddenly felt that this world, fraught with danger, was not as bad as he had imagined.
At least, the scenery before their eyes and the roasted dinosaur meat in their mouths were luxuries that the resource-depleted blue planet could not afford.
A crazy idea quietly sprouted in his mind.
Now that we're here, we can't just think about surviving.
……
Dragon Kingdom Live Stream Room.
Countless viewers, gazing at the magnificent sunset, were captivated along with Zhang Li.
In the live chat, a centenarian, tears streaming down his face, trembled as he said, "I was born in 2010, and the sky was just as blue back then..."
"Now, there isn't a single decent forest left on Earth! Everywhere you look, there's only yellow sand and gray skyscrapers!"
"If only our Dragon Kingdom could have scenery like this..."
A feeling of sadness is spreading...
At this moment, Academician Ma, who was on the expert panel, spoke again.
According to paleontological research, the Earth experiences a major mass extinction on average every 6500 million years. Before us, there were five (Ordovician, Devonian, Permian, Triassic, and Cretaceous).
"The most recent Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event occurred 6600 million years ago."
He looked around and spoke slowly and deliberately.
"We are on the path to the sixth mass extinction! And this time, it's because of humanity itself. Habitat destruction, environmental pollution, resource depletion... This is the only mass extinction led by a single species."
"Perhaps..." Academician Ma looked at the young man on the screen who had ignited the flame of civilization in the prehistoric world, his eyes filled with a mixture of awe and hope, "This struggle for survival of the dinosaur nation is the last hope that the will of Earth has left for humanity!"
……
Under the same sunset.
In a crevice in the rocks, Huang Xiaoying was also watching the blood-red sunset.
Her face was pale.
His right hand was hastily bandaged with the torn half of his sleeve, but the blood had already soaked through the fabric, staining most of his body red.
That crossbow bolt almost destroyed her entire right arm.
In this primeval jungle, losing a dominant hand is almost tantamount to death.
It's only a matter of time before the wound gets infected.
She took out the last remaining food from her storage space—a small handful of golden sea buckthorn berries.
This is what she reaped from her afternoon's work; it's rich in vitamins and the best choice to replenish her energy.
She ate a few, but then stopped what she was doing.
The sunset was beautiful.
But her chances of survival are already very slim.
Huang Xiaoying gazed at the horizon, her once spirited eyes now filled only with endless weariness and a resolute air.
She sighed softly.
"Perhaps... we should save it as a sacrifice for our motherland."
She carefully placed the handful of life-sustaining fruit back into her storage space.
"Having come into this world, I should always make some contribution to everyone... I have failed the Dragon Kingdom, and I have failed myself..."
This scene was clearly broadcast live throughout the entire Dragon Kingdom.
In the live stream, the viewers who were just drooling over Zhang Li's food suddenly fell silent.
"No...no! Captain Yellow! Eat it! Live on!"
"Holy crap! I can't stand it anymore! She's giving up on herself!"
"She could eat! Eating would give her the strength to live! Why?!"
Dragon Kingdom Command Center.
He Jiong's eyes were bloodshot, and his fists were clenched tightly.
Academician Ma, Professor Li, Professor Wang... all the experts beside him stood up.
They looked at the lonely, thin, yet incredibly strong figure on the screen, and slowly raised their right hand to give a standard and solemn military salute!
At this moment, countless viewers in China were moved to tears.
They finally understood what a hero is!
Just then, the system's voice sounded again.
[Day 2 of survival has ended.]
Now, all contestants, please offer your sacrifices!
