National Survival: I Supported the Dragon Nation by Hunting Dinosaurs

The night faded away.

The first rays of dawn tore through the darkness of the prehistoric jungle.

Deep in the jungle, a figure darted out and silently lurked behind a bush.

Ichiro Yamamoto, a player from the Sakura Country.

He licked the blade, his gaze sweeping over the massive metal box in the distance.

Almost simultaneously, Roland, the player from the United States, also arrived at the edge of the battlefield.

He didn't approach, but instead immediately chose a spot behind a rock with an excellent view to hide.

His field of vision was a thermal image composed of different color temperatures.

Seven!

In his field of vision, around the airdrop crate, there were seven clearly visible humanoid heat sources.

Two of the heat sources are holding clearly visible, elongated, low-temperature objects – long-range weapons!

The uneven distribution of body temperature due to a heat source resulted in a high-temperature inflammatory response in the right arm.

"One wounded soldier, two marksmen with ranged weapons..."

Roland's mind raced, and he instantly devised a hunting plan.

Prioritize taking out the two ranged shooters and seizing their weapons!

With thermal imaging goggles and long-range weapons, he's a god in this jungle!

……

On the other side.

Zhang Li's figure quietly blended into the canopy of a giant tree.

The number on the airdrop crate has jumped to [10/11].

"Buzz—"

He activated "Optical Adaptive Camouflage" and simultaneously activated "Omniscient Eye" to begin scanning the entire battlefield.

10 people.

Including himself, there are 10 in total.

Everyone was experienced and chose to lie low, waiting for the best opportunity to strike.

A figure caught his eye and made him focus.

It was the very person who confronted him in the canyon!

At that moment, the man was silently moving toward a contestant wielding a crossbow while holding the enormous hand axe.

"This guy... has a very clear goal."

Zhang Li understood.

His gaze shifted to the airdrop crate, attempting to use his "all-knowing eye" to see inside.

However, there was no feedback whatsoever.

[Airdrop container: The main body is made of lead plate, which has extremely high density and can effectively block X-rays and similar detection methods.]

"So the all-seeing eye works on a principle similar to X-rays...?"

Zhang Li seemed to be deep in thought.

He did not rush into action.

Roland was only two hundred meters away from that unfortunate fellow, but more than three hundred meters away from himself.

At this distance, the power of the composite crossbow will be greatly reduced, and if it misses, it will completely expose the user.

The best strategy is to watch from the sidelines and reap the benefits without lifting a finger.

He began to investigate each "player" on the battlefield one by one.

His expression froze slightly when his gaze fell on a figure huddled in the bushes.

That pale face, due to blood loss, was a typical East Asian feature.

Her right arm was pierced by a crossbow bolt, and the wound had become infected and turned black.

"A Chinese from the Dragon Kingdom?"

Zhang Li frowned slightly.

He wasn't sure of the other person's nationality, but the sense of kinship made him subconsciously more cautious.

Just then!

"drop--!"

The screen on top of the airdrop crate emitted a crisp sound, and the numbers suddenly changed!

Number of people within 1 kilometer: 11/11

[The conditions for opening have been met; the airdrop crate is no longer locked!]

Everyone's breath seemed to freeze in that instant.

The box can be opened!

But no one moved.

Whoever rushes out first will become the target of everyone's attacks and be riddled with bullets in an instant!

……

Beside the mud pit.

Sang Biao licked his chapped lips, his eyes gleaming with greed.

Instead of rushing towards the core area, he chose to circle around the edge to find a better sniping spot.

In his view, the crossbow in his hand was the biggest trump card on the field at this moment!

"roar--!"

Just then, two enormous ornithopods came galloping from the distant jungle, one after the other, kicking up clouds of dust!

They were also attracted by the red smoke, and the route they rushed along was exactly where Huang Xiaoying was hiding in the bushes!

Huang Xiaoying's expression changed drastically.

Her remaining strength in her left arm was insufficient to support her climbing the tree quickly.

The only option is to roll to the side!

"Boom!"

Just as the Iguanodon's massive foot was about to stomp down, Huang Xiaoying rolled to the side, narrowly avoiding it.

But this violent movement also caused a noticeable disturbance in the bushes!

Inside the Dragon Kingdom's live stream room, He Jiong's heart jumped into his throat!

"Captain Huang has been exposed! With so many athletes from different countries gathered around, she's revealed her position!"

Geologist Professor Chen's expression turned grave: "This is a classic case of the Dark Forest theory. In this unknown hunting ground, any act of revealing one's existence is tantamount to calling for death. Huang Xiaoying... is in danger!"

"We still have Li Shen! Li Shen is nearby! He will definitely save Captain Huang!"

The screen was instantly flooded with comments, as everyone pinned their hopes on the figure lurking in the treetops.

……

On the battlefield.

Huang Xiaoying's rolling around aggravated the wound on her right arm, and the intense pain caused cold sweat to instantly break out on her forehead.

But the physical pain is nothing compared to the coldness in one's heart.

She knew she was finished.

really!

Almost the next second after she was exposed.

About 150 meters away from her, in a patch of grass, a blond, blue-eyed man slowly raised the crossbow in his hand.

Carmelo Anthony, the Australian athlete!

He located Huang Xiaoying's position, a cruel smile flashing in his eyes.

Eliminating one competitor first would be perfect!

He drew back the bowstring and aimed the crossbow at Huang Xiaoying's position.

However, he did not notice.

A shadow had silently descended upon him.

It was Roland!

Anthony is about to pull the trigger.

In that very instant!

"call--!"

The sound of wind breaking rang out.

Anthony felt a chill on his neck, and the world before him began to spin.

The last thing he saw was his own headless body and a man holding a hand axe with an expressionless gaze.

Pfft!

His head hit the ground.

First Blood!

In the global live stream, all viewers who witnessed this scene felt a chill run down their spines.

In the live stream room in Australia, a chorus of wails erupted instantly!

Their star player... just like that, dead?

On the treetop, Zhang Li's pupils suddenly contracted.

Wow, so fast! So decisive!

This person showed no hesitation or discomfort in committing murder.

He's a born killer!

"This bloody contest has truly begun from this moment on," Zhang Li thought to himself.

Roland ignored the corpse on the ground, picked up the crossbow, and disappeared back into the shadows.

Meanwhile, another figure was taking advantage of the chaos to stealthily make its way towards the spot where Huang Xiaoying had been exposed.

It's Sang Biao!

He was closest to Huang Xiaoying!

When he parted the bushes and saw the pale-faced woman clutching her injured arm, his expression instantly turned ferocious and twisted!

"Truly blessed by the god of the grasslands!"

He slowly raised the crossbow in his hand, the dark muzzle aimed at Huang Xiaoying's forehead.

"Damn Chinese women...we meet again."
