National Survival: I Supported the Dragon Nation by Hunting Dinosaurs

Inside the cave, the campfire crackled and popped.

Zhang Li stared at the announcement, his eyes gradually turning cold.

"Communication? Coordinates?"

"This is not a letter from home to let the athletes know they are safe; it is clearly the rallying cry for all-out war."

Huang Xiaoying was taken aback by Zhang Li's words: "What do you mean? If we can contact the government, we can get guidance from experts and gather everyone together, wouldn't our survival rate be higher?"

Zhang Li poked at the fire with his dagger, sending sparks flying.

"A set? Yes, it's a set."

"But what if they're gathered together not for survival, but for killing?"

Zhang Li looked up, his gaze deep and thoughtful...

"In this end times of depleted resources, the rise of one country is inevitably accompanied by the decline of others."

If all the competitors from other countries are killed, that country will suffer a natural disaster, its population will plummet, and the remaining resources... will naturally become ownerless.

"This is the true nature of this struggle for survival."

"Raising Gu poison."

Huang Xiaoying's body trembled involuntarily.

……

Dragon Kingdom, the highest strategic command center.

On the huge circular screen, the system announcement about "communication enabled" was displayed in the center.

"It seems Zhang Li has a very clear understanding."

Academician Ma's expression was solemn.

"The will of Earth has been revealed."

Professor Li took a deep breath, his voice hoarse: "First, they airdropped weapons, inciting infighting; now they've activated communication and location tracking. Don't they want more people to die already?"

"Since humanity took over the Earth, excessive exploitation has led to environmental collapse. The will of Blue Star has opened the dinosaur world this time not only for resource self-preservation."

Academician Ma continued, "The deeper purpose is to use conflicts between nations to kill others, thereby...reducing the human population!"

"It's like the famous 'Dark Forest Theory,' where every country is a hunter with a gun."

"And now, the will of Earth has given the hunters each other their coordinates."

The entire room fell silent.

After a long silence, host He Jiong finally broke the silence: "Then...then our contestants will become the target of everyone's criticism? After all, we are currently at the top of the leaderboard, and we are a resource-rich country..."

Academician Ma did not speak, but silently looked at the young figure on the screen.

Every husband is not guilty, and he is guilty of his crime.

In this dog-eat-dog arena, excellence is the original sin.

……

The United States of America.

The decision-maker leaned back in his leather chair, pressing down hard on the red button.

A moment later, the hot female secretary walked in carrying a silver tray with a glass of iced cola on it.

In this era of resource depletion, a glass of cola with ice is worth as much as a luxury car from the old days.

Only decision-makers can enjoy this privilege of unlimited supply.

"Slurp—"

The decision-maker took a big gulp, and the exhilarating sensation of the carbonated bubbles bursting in his mouth gave him great satisfaction.

Then, a sinister light flashed in his murky eyes.

"No one understands revenge better than me."

He stared at Zhang Li's photo on the screen, gritting his teeth.

Two elites, one gun, were slaughtered like chickens by a college student!

This is a disgrace!

It's making the great United States of America lose face in front of the whole world!

"Connect me to Gaul and Australia."

The decision-maker slammed his Coke cup on the table and roared, "Now! Immediately!"

……

Gaul.

The Gallic decision-maker stared blankly at the screen, his expression complex.

Just hours ago, his national hero had his head chopped off by Roland of the United States.

Public anger is so high it's about to lift the roof off the presidential palace, with protesters chanting "Punish the murderer!" on the Champs-Élysées.

"Mr. Decision Maker, the Black Palace's encryption is via this dedicated line." The assistant handed over the phone.

Mocaron's hand froze in mid-air.

Answer or not answer?

Reason told him that although France was one of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, it had long been subordinate to the United States.

Not accepting means a complete break.

Accepting it means kneeling down.

Finally, he sighed and took the phone.

"Your Mightiness."

"Oh, my dear Mocaron! My old friend!"

The decision-maker's exaggerated voice came from the other end of the phone.

"No one understands Gaul better than me. I know you're heartbroken right now, but listen, I have a crazy plan that can make us all great again!"

Mocaron's lips twitched, forcing back his nausea: "I'd like to hear more."

"Communication will be activated tomorrow morning."

The voices of American decision-makers turned sinister.

"I will unite all my allies to form a coalition army and conduct a...complete purge of the Dragon Kingdom's contestants in the dinosaur world!"

"China has one-fifth of the world's population. If all their athletes die, all their remaining resources will be ours!"

"This is much more worthwhile than killing one or two dinosaurs!"

Mocaron tightened his grip on the phone.

It's a big gamble.

It's blatant robbery logic!

But he was tempted.

Compared to the hatred stemming from the death of a player, the interests of the nation are clearly more important.

If the Dragon Kingdom is brought down, the Gallic Kingdom can get a share of the spoils and even alleviate its domestic resource crisis.

"……I see."

Mocaron closed his eyes and said in a low voice, "Gallic Kingdom, join us."

……

At the same time.

The land of cherry blossoms.

Cabinet members knelt on the ground, while the commander of the U.S. military stationed in Japan sat at the head of the table.

"That piece of trash named Yamamoto Ichiro has disgraced you all."

The commander sneered, "The decision-maker has ordered that all players from the Sakura Country assemble first thing tomorrow morning."

"Hi!"

The Japanese Prime Minister didn't dare raise his head, his forehead pressed to the ground. "For the revival of the empire, for the glory of the US, we are willing to be the vanguard!"

……

Australia, the land of kangaroos.

After finishing the phone call, their decision-maker wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"They've gone mad...they've all gone mad..."

Following the US and getting the soup is the wisest decision!

"Pass down the order: have all our men align themselves with the American players!"

……

That night, a hunting net targeting the Dragon Kingdom was being spread in the darkness.

In the north, in that vast country covered in ice and snow.

The decision-maker of the Bear Kingdom was shirtless, having just finished an ice bath, and exuded a wild aura.

"A message has come from our inside sources at the Black Palace."

The intelligence chief reported in a low voice, "The decision-makers in the United States have united seventeen countries and are preparing to launch an 'indiscriminate annihilation campaign' against the Chinese contestants once communications are activated."

The decision-maker of Xiong Guo picked up a glass of vodka and drank it all in one gulp.

The strong liquor went down his throat, but his eyes only grew brighter.

"If the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold."

"Those bandits have devoured the Dragon Kingdom; we're next."

He strode to the red telephone and dialed the mysterious number from the East.

……

Dragon Kingdom Command Center.

The operator's expression changed immediately after the call was connected, and he was immediately transferred to a higher-up.

A few minutes later, the senior executive put down the phone and looked at the thousands of experts below the stage.

"Just now, the decision-makers of the Xiong Kingdom sent a warning."

The voices of the Dragon Kingdom's top officials were calm, yet full of power.

"The Western alliance, led by the United States, has reached an agreement. Tomorrow, they will take action against our children."

"They want us to destroy our country."

The audience erupted in uproar.

"Quiet!"

The leader slammed his hand on the table, his gaze sharp as he swept across the room.

"What's the panic?!"

"For five thousand years, countless enemies have tried to destroy us. Where are they now? They're all in the dustbin of history!"

"If they want war, then let them fight!"

The executive turned around and looked at Zhang Li, who was resting with his eyes closed on the big screen.

"We have the best soldiers, the most united people, and you, the most brilliant minds!"

"Now, I need you to develop the most perfect strategic plan by 5 a.m.!"

"Tell Zhang Li, tell all the athletes from China."

"Don't be afraid."

"Behind you stand 1.6 billion Chinese people!"
