National Survival: I Supported the Dragon Nation by Hunting Dinosaurs

When that coordinate message was forcibly imprinted in the minds of every Chinese player.

Zhang Li's position became the only beacon in the Dragon Kingdom.

This was not a blind choice.

After analysis, the Dragon Kingdom Command Center determined that the temperate jungle zone where Zhang Li was located was precisely at the "geometric center" of the distribution map of the two hundred Dragon Kingdom contestants.

However, their opponents were not idle either.

The seventeen-nation alliance led by the United States also bared its fangs in the dead of night.

Instead of choosing a single center, they divided the area into dozens of "hunting zones" with a radius of "500 kilometers".

Their goal was clear: group up nearby and then... devour all the lone individuals within their area.

……

Dragon Kingdom, official broadcasting studio.

Xiao Sa has replaced He Jiong.

Sitting in the center of the expert panel was a middle-aged man with a resolute face.

"Dear viewers, although it is the early hours of the morning, our live stream viewership has still exceeded 1 million."

Xiao Sa was extremely excited. "We've invited Professor Xu Zhiping, a top military strategy expert from the Changshan War Academy!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the live chat exploded, even overshadowing the discussion about Zhang Li.

"Holy crap? Changshan War Academy? Is that the legendary place?"

"If you don't understand, just ask. Is this college really that prestigious?"

"Hey upstairs, I suggest you look up the history of Africa. Eight out of ten of the warlords and presidents there graduated from this school!"

"Hilarious! Apparently, during a war over there, the two commanders made a phone call: 'What year are you from?' 'I'm from the class of '85.' 'Hello, senior! Well then, I won't stand on ceremony!' — That's the mark of a distinguished graduate!"

Xu Zhiping looked at the teasing comments on the screen, and a slight smile appeared on his serious face.

"Professor Xu," Xiao Sa said, pointing to the large screen displaying a dynamic strategic map.

"The situation is now very clear: the United States is employing a 'wolf pack tactic,' building small bases everywhere. Meanwhile, our China is on a 'long march,' sending everyone to assemble at Zhang Li's location."

Which of these two strategies is better?

Xu Zhiping's eyes were sharp and his voice was steady.

"This is not just a difference in tactics, but a contest of civilizations."

He picked up the laser pointer and drew several circles around the gathering points of the United States on the screen.

"The US's approach is a typical example of 'pirate logic,' or what we would call 'short-term speculation.'"

"A radius of 500 kilometers does indeed allow them to quickly establish a local numerical advantage. For example, if three or five strong men gather together, and they have numbers, what do they do next?"

Xu Zhiping sneered, "In this early stage of resource scarcity, they have no productivity. The only thing they can do is plunder and eliminate those who disagree with them."

"This alliance looks fierce, but it's extremely fragile because there's no trust between them, only interests."

Then, Xu Zhiping pointed to the red dot in the center of the map.

"Our Dragon Nation has chosen 'long-term developmentism'."

"To gather two hundred people from all over the country into one place is very difficult, and it could even be described as a life-or-death situation."

"But as long as we succeed!"

"We can establish a powerful defense system instantly!"

"The core of this tactic is national cohesion."

The entire room fell silent.

The screen was then filled with red comments like "Tears in my eyes" and "Long live the Chinese nation."

Xiao Sa calmed his excited emotions.

"But Professor Xu, this is too difficult. Our contestants are scattered in various places, some even thousands of kilometers away..."

……

The scene changes.

The far north ice sheet.

The camera lens captured a blindingly white expanse of ice.

It was the middle of the night, and the sun hung palely on the horizon, never setting, yet it did not bring enough warmth.

"Snap!"

A crisp sound broke the silence.

A young man wrapped in a thick, frost-proof cotton coat was lying next to an ice hole.

He held a harpoon in his hand and plunged it into the water.

Water splashes.

A prehistoric lungfish covered in hard scales was speared up and thrashed wildly on the ice.

Huo Wuji.

A descendant of an ancient martial arts family in the Dragon Kingdom, he started with a harpoon and managed to survive in the polar region where the temperature was minus thirty degrees Celsius.

"Which way should I go...?"

Huo Wuji looked around in confusion.

The sky and earth were all one color, all white.

Without any reference points... these past few days, he felt like he was going around in circles.

If it weren't for his profound internal martial arts skills, he would have frozen to death from hypothermia long ago.

"If this continues, we will surely die when the polar night arrives."

Huo Wuji's eyes dimmed.

Just then.

[Dragon Kingdom Communications has been connected! Coordinates updated!]

A red arrow appeared in his mind, pointing straight south.

That's the direction of my comrades and home!

Huo Wuji was stunned. His eyes, which had been numb from the wind and snow, suddenly burst forth with an astonishing light.

"Zhang Li... Latitude: 39°54′N..."

next second.

He grabbed the fish from the ground and, without any hesitation, took his first step in the direction the arrow indicated.

The wind and snow were howling, but he resolutely plunged into the vast snowfield.

"With a direction, nothing can stop the people of the Dragon Kingdom."

In the live broadcast room, Xu Zhiping watched this scene and said softly.

……

In another instance, Leng Feng, as a former special forces ace, was in a much better condition than Huo Wuji.

He received those coordinates just now too.

"Zhang Liyao..."

Leng Feng smiled warmly. "Three days on the leaderboard, sacrificing the Wind God Pteranodon. This kid is interesting."

As a top soldier, he possessed absolute arrogance.

But he has absolute respect for the strong.

"It's about 200 kilometers away from me."

He had no attachment whatsoever to the comfortable shelter he had built for himself.

Leng Feng's figure disappeared into the bushes...

Compared to Huo Wuji's desperate struggle for survival and Leng Feng's long-distance raid.

Wang Qiang and Li Yue felt like they had won the lottery.

"Fifteen kilometers?!"

Wang Qiang looked at the coordinates in his mind, then turned to look at Li Yue, who was equally shocked, beside him:

"Li Yue! We've hit the jackpot! Li Shen lives right next door!"

Fifteen kilometers!

In modern society, it's just a matter of stepping on the gas.

Even in this primeval jungle, if you're careful, you can get through in a day!

"That's great... Waaah..." Li Yue cried with joy.

She'd had enough of being chased and hiding from dinosaurs these past few days.

Knowing that the legendary master who could "kill dinosaurs like chickens" was nearby gave me an indescribable sense of security.

"Let's go! Let's go now!"

……

however.

Roland hid in his semi-subterranean shelter.

Only those eyes burned with hatred.

"Zhang Li..."

Just now, he received a message from the Supreme Command of the United States.

[Lord Roland, your area has been designated as the core assembly point for the 'A1 War Zone'.]

[A total of 150 contestants from 17 countries, including Japan, South Korea, and France, are gradually joining you.]

[You have only one mission: to command this allied force before Zhang Li reunites with the other Chinese players...]

Hunt him down!

Roland looked at the message and a slow smile spread across his face.

"Zhang Li, enjoy your last moments."

"When the pack of wolves gathers, that's when the tiger falls!"
