National Survival: I Supported the Dragon Nation by Hunting Dinosaurs

Three o'clock in the morning.

Central Square, Tianfu Region, Longguo (Dragon Kingdom).

In this era of depleted resources, the city's night sky is no longer illuminated by neon lights; electricity is a luxury and must be prioritized for industry and scientific research.

But tonight, the whole city is brightly lit.

Dozens of searchlights illuminated the square, where tens of thousands of citizens spontaneously gathered in an orderly manner.

They are waiting for a gift from ancient times.

"They're here!"

Someone in the crowd shouted.

Suddenly, violent ripples appeared in the huge open space reserved in the center of the square.

Immediately afterwards, a primal aura swept across the entire area.

"boom--!!!"

The earth trembled as the heavy object hit the ground.

A "mountain of flesh" appeared out of nowhere.

It was an adult swamp dinosaur, over two meters long.

The iconic, thick skull looked ferocious and imposing under the searchlight.

Then came the second one, the third one...

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The continuous thuds of the impact were like the beating of war drums.

On the other side, an even more shocking scene unfolded.

The corpses of hundreds of Quetzalcoatlus were piled together. Even though they were dead, their huge skeletons with wingspans of over ten meters still exuded the aura of former rulers of the sky.

In just a few minutes, Tianfu Square was filled with two towering "mountains of corpses".

In an era where even synthetic proteins are rationed, the visual and emotional impact of such a large quantity of real meat is akin to a nuclear explosion.

"Meat...it's meat!"

A little boy pointed at the huge dinosaur leg, his mouth instantly watering. "Dad, can we really eat that?"

The father's eyes were already brimming with tears: "We can eat! That's what our Dragon Country athletes risked their lives to get! It's the food that Li Shen and Team Huang earned for us!"

"Long live the Dragon Kingdom!"

The cheers erupted like a tsunami, the sound almost lifting the sky.

But this is just the beginning.

"Attention all units! Proceed to the scene immediately!"

The voice of the on-site commander came over the loudspeaker.

The special police, who were already on high alert, quickly set up a cordon. Then, a team dressed in special suits and carrying specially made alloy knives ran into the scene.

They are not soldiers, but they have the discipline of soldiers.

They are 500 "master chefs" urgently recruited from major slaughterhouses and meat processing plants in the Tianfu area.

Wang Dachui stared at the enormous, swollen-headed dragon before him, his hand gripping the knife trembling slightly.

It wasn't fear, it was excitement.

He spent his whole life slaughtering pigs and butchering cows, never dreaming that he would be able to butcher dinosaurs in this lifetime!

"This skin... it's fucking tough!"

With a single strike of Wang Dachui's blade, sparks flew everywhere.

The skin of the swollen dragon is covered with bony nodules, making it impossible to cut with ordinary knives.

"Get the chainsaw! Avoid the bone, dissect the thigh first!"

The technical advisor next to him shouted loudly.

"Sizzle sizzle—"

The ear-piercing sound of cutting echoed throughout the square.

Wang Dachui switched to a handheld cutting machine and cut along the muscle fibers.

One after another, refrigerated trucks painted as heavy-duty trucks drove into the square...

This is the speed of China.

From the moment the meat was manifested until the first piece was loaded onto the truck, it took less than fifteen minutes.

We ensure that every ounce of meat is delivered fresh to everyone's table!

……

Two hundred thousand dinosaurs.

It sounds like an astronomical figure, but when divided among the people of China, it's actually not much.

But its symbolic meaning far outweighs its actual ability to satisfy hunger.

This is hope.

It is the first ray of light shining into the cracks in a hopeless apocalypse.

……

Two hours later.

An old residential community in the Tianfu area.

Dozens of large iron pots were set up on the open ground downstairs, and firewood was burning brightly.

Although the official recommendation was to distribute the food to households, the enthusiastic people of Chengdu couldn't wait any longer and started a feast!

"Here it comes! Dinosaur meat hot pot!"

Aunt Li, carrying a bowl of freshly sliced ​​meat, squeezed into the crowd with a radiant face.

The meat slices had clear textures, and even before they were cooked, they looked incredibly chewy.

"This is the tendon meat of a baleen-headed dinosaur! I heard from the experts that this thing bangs its head against the ground every day, so its whole body is full of fresh flesh, a million times better than that Wagyu beef!"

"Glug glug—"

The red oil sizzled, and the aroma of Sichuan peppercorns and chili peppers enhanced the fragrance of the dinosaur meat.

Grandpa Zhang picked up a piece of scalding hot meat with his chopsticks, ignoring the heat, and stuffed it into his mouth.

Everyone was staring at him.

"How's it, Lao Zhang? What does it taste like?"

Grandpa Zhang closed his eyes and chewed twice.

Suddenly, two lines of clear tears streamed down his wrinkled cheeks.

"It smells so good..."

"This chewiness is like beef brisket, but with a hint of wild sweetness... Waaah, I've almost forgotten what meat tastes like."

With a roar, the crowd began to pick up their chopsticks.

"Delicious! So delicious!"

"Mom, I want to eat that big wing!"

"Those are the wings of a Quetzalcoatlus; those are cartilages, good for the child's calcium intake!"

That night, the air above the Dragon Kingdom was filled with the long-lost aroma of meat and the smell of cooking.

On the internet, it's even more like a Versailles literary award.

[Tianfu Area]: Ugh, the meat of this Quetzalcoatlus is a bit tough. It has to be braised before eating, otherwise it'll be hard on your teeth.

[Shandong Region]: That's because you don't know how to cook it! Here, we just roll dinosaur meat in scallions, that's the real deal!

[Baiyue Region]: The best soup is made with the skull of the giant dragon! Crack the skull and boil it to make soup; it's all bone marrow!

At this moment.

In the live streams on foreign websites, countless foreign netizens were green with envy as they watched the "dinosaur feast" posted on Chinese people's WeChat Moments.

Especially for those American netizens who are still eating expired canned food, their defenses crumbled in an instant.

"Fuck! Why? Why are they eating dinosaur hot pot?"

"My God, that piece of meat is still dripping oil! That's real animal fat!"

"I refuse to accept this! This is unfair! We must protest!"

"Protest my ass! Who told our players to be so disappointing? All they do is kill and fight amongst themselves. Look at Zhang Li from China, he supports an entire nation single-handedly!"

……

On the huge screen, the dynamics of athletes from all over the world are displayed in real time.

"Report! The distribution of supplies has reached 80%. It is expected that all physical supplies will be processed before dawn."

"it is good."

The high-ranking officials of the Dragon Kingdom nodded slightly, but their eyes never left the young figure in the center of the screen.

He knew that the revelry outside was short-lived.

The real storm is about to arrive in a few hours.

"Has the content of the communication been drafted?" the senior executive asked in a deep voice.

Word count is limited.

No nonsense, no sentimentality.

The most important intelligence and tactical instructions must be conveyed in the shortest possible space.

"It's been drafted."

"We intercepted encrypted frequency signals transmitted by the United States to its allies. Although we were unable to completely decipher them, based on intelligence from all sides, the 'encirclement and suppression' is a foregone conclusion."

Dinosaur World, Caves.

Zhang Li and Huang Xiaoying were awakened by the voice of the will of Blue Star...

[Attention! The Dragon Kingdom has sent you a communication!]

[Coordinates included! 116°23′E, 39°54′N]

Zhang Li's eyes narrowed, and he quickly activated the light screen.

[To the Chinese athletes: The situation is dire!]

[Seventeen countries, including the United States, France, Australia, South Korea, Japan, the Wildebeest, and the Banana, have united, and their commanders have deployed a kill order targeting our Chinese contestants!]

Other nations are plotting to destroy the Dragon Kingdom and plunder its remaining resources! You represent the fate of the nation; heroes, please be extremely careful!

[Immediate order: All personnel from the Dragon Kingdom, immediately assemble at the coordinates provided (Zhang Li and Huang Xiaoying's locations). If the locations are too far apart, proceed slowly and prioritize your own safety! Remember to be wary of hostile forces!]

[To contestant Zhang Li: Dominating the rankings for three consecutive days may attract special attention from hostile forces. Be careful, but don't hesitate to retaliate if necessary! 1.6 billion people are your support!]

Zhang Li stared at the words "all means" and a cold smile curved his lips.

A seventeen-nation coalition? An encirclement and suppression operation?

"Let's go then!"
