National Survival: I Supported the Dragon Nation by Hunting Dinosaurs

In the live stream room dedicated to Japan, the barrage of comments was like a waterfall, filled with nothing but praise and celebration.

"Yosh! Matsushita-kun, as expected of a descendant of ninjas!"

"At his speed, he'll reach the assembly point of the Seventeen-Nation Alliance!"

On the screen, Matsushita Satoru, dressed in a ghillie suit, wore a smug grin.

However, a whooshing sound suddenly tore through the air without warning.

A crossbow bolt struck Matsushita Sateru with perfect accuracy in his left buttock.

"ah--!!!"

Matsushita Sateru let out a scream and rolled around on the ground, clutching his buttocks.

In the live stream room of Japan, countless angry comments erupted.

"Baka! Who is that?!"

"A sneak attack! This is a shameless sneak attack!"

"I just came from Zhang Li's live stream in China! It's that damn Zhang Li!"

"It's him again! First Yamamoto, now Matsushita! Damn it!"

At this moment, Zhang Li did not stop at all, activating his optical adaptive camouflage and sprinting towards the flank.

The Tyrannosaurus Rex smashed through countless dead trees and rushed into the open space.

Its vertical pupils, filled with savagery, scanned its surroundings.

A bizarre scene unfolded.

The Tyrannosaurus Rex's massive head suddenly turned and locked onto Matsushita Satoru.

They even completely ignored the direction Zhang Li fled in.

Academician Ma looked bewildered: "This... doesn't make biological sense! Tarbosaurus had very strong dynamic vision, so why didn't it chase Zhang Li, but instead stared at a stationary target?"

"Could it be because of... the smell of blood on Sakura?"

In the jungle.

Matsushita Sateru didn't even have time to pull out the arrow; a stench assaulted his nostrils.

He looked up in horror.

What came into view was a gaping maw filled with sharp teeth and amber-colored beastly eyes.

The Tyrannosaurus Rex lowered its head, and the heavy breaths coming out of its nostrils made the ghillie suit on Matsushita Satsuki's face tremble.

In its eyes, this little thing exuded a defiant aura.

"roar--!!!"

The Tyrannosaurus Rex let out a deafening roar.

"Na...Nani..."

Matsushita Satoru waved his hands futilely in the air: "Yamete! Don't come any closer..."

"Snap!"

His response was the sound of bones cracking.

In the live stream from Japan, the screen instantly turned gray.

[Announcement: Japanese athlete Satsuki Matsushita has been confirmed dead.]

[Cause of death: Damage from a Tarbosaurus rex.]

[Survival time: 3 days, 14 hours, and 23 minutes]

……

Two kilometers away, in a rocky depression.

Zhang Li leaned against the stone wall, panting heavily.

Running at top speed, coupled with the continuous use of [All-Seeing Eye] and [Pheromone Release], takes a huge toll on physical and mental energy.

"call……"

Zhang Li took out dinosaur jerky from his storage space and took a big bite.

The rough texture of the meat melted in his mouth, quickly replenishing his strength.

"System, open the roulette wheel."

Zhang Li silently recited it in his mind.

[Congratulations, host, on completing the hunt!]

[Target: Garuda-like creature.]

[Hunting Method: Kill with a powerful composite crossbow!]

Overall rating: C!

"Rank C..."

Although his rating wasn't high, his main goal was to become a master of defense construction!

As long as you can spin the wheel, you have a chance.

[The roulette wheel is now open...]

[1. Arm strength +3kg]

[2. Core and abdominal strength +5]

[3. Defense Construction Master (Locked): Proficient in the site selection and construction of various bunkers, fortresses, and defensive works. Grants the host a top-level understanding of civil engineering.]

Zhang Li nodded; sure enough, this skill was still intact...

However, when his gaze fell on the fourth option.

He was completely stunned.

4. Fighter Jet Piloting Skills (Master Level): Proficient in piloting, air combat, and ground attack techniques for all fifth-generation fighter jets, including the F-22, Su-57, and J-20.

"Cough cough cough..."

Zhang Li coughed violently, his face turning bright red.

"System, you son of a bitch!"

"Are you messing with me?!"

Zhang Li pointed at the glittering golden option, his lips twitching wildly.

"This is the world of dinosaurs!"

"What good is it to give me the skill to fly a fighter jet?"

"Or are you suggesting you airdrop a J-20 down here? Even if you have the plane, does this crappy place have a runway? Does it have aviation kerosene?"

"Don't get infected! Please don't get infected!"

Zhang Li clasped his hands together, not even wanting to look at the roulette wheel.

If I were to actually draw this skill, it would be the biggest dark comedy of my life.

"Turn!"

The cursor trembled as it moved toward the golden [Fighter Jet Piloting Technology] icon.

Zhang Li's heart was in his throat.

"Stop it...stop it..."

Just as the pointer was about to touch that awful option.

Perhaps the "lock" function came into play.

The cursor seemed to have gained its own consciousness and abruptly stopped at the previous position.

[Congratulations, host, you have acquired the skill: Master of Defense Repair!]

Zhang Li collapsed to the ground, as if he had just finished a tough battle.

"Thank goodness... thank goodness it's civil engineering."

next second.

A massive flow of information brutally poured into Zhang Li's brain.

Trench digging angles, crossfire point placement, load-bearing calculations for permanent fortifications, and coordinated layout of traps and defensive towers...

Even the design drawings of ancient barbicans and the construction principles of modern reverse slope positions.

Countless pieces of knowledge exploded and reorganized in my mind.

Zhang Li stood up, dusted himself off, and by then it was already getting dark.

"It's time to go back."

……

The atmosphere at the camp was terrifyingly oppressive.

Huang Xiaoying sat by the fire, clutching the crossbow tightly in her hand.

"It's been three hours."

Li Yue's voice was choked with sobs, her eyes swollen like walnuts, "It's completely dark, Zhang Li... what if he..."

"Shut up!"

Wang Qiang roared, interrupting her.

He was sharpening his military knife with a stone. "That's Zhang Li! The number one player in the entire server, Zhang Li! A Tyrannosaurus Rex is nothing!"

As a veteran, he knew better than anyone else.

In the primeval jungle at night, the chance of survival when facing a top predator alone is almost zero.

"I'm going to find him."

Huang Xiaoying suddenly stood up, picked up the crossbow, and was about to walk out.

"stop!"

Wang Qiang abruptly stood up, blocking her path like a wall. "Are you crazy? In your current physical condition, going out would be like delivering midnight snacks to dinosaurs!"

"That's still better than just waiting here!"

Huang Xiaoying's usual composure vanished completely. "He lured the dinosaurs away to save you! If he doesn't come back, I have no face to live on!"

"If anyone's going, it should be me!"

Wang Qiang snatched the crossbow from her hand. "I'm a man, and a former reconnaissance soldier, I'll go!"

"I'm going too!" Li Yue wiped away her tears and picked up a sharpened wooden stick.

Just then.

The camouflage vines at the entrance of the cave were suddenly lifted by a hand.

A cold wind rushed in, and the flames flickered violently.

Six eyes were fixed intently on the cave entrance.

A thin figure, carrying a crossbow, walked in under the moonlight.

His combat uniform was covered in mud and grass clippings, and there was a bloody scratch on his face from a tree branch.

Zhang Li stared at his three teammates for a moment, stunned.

Then, a very warm smile appeared on his usually stern face.

"What's all the noise about so late at night?"

That instant.

The two girls couldn't hold back anymore, and Wang Qiang came up and punched Zhang Li hard in the chest.

"You little rascal...it's good that you're back!"

Zhang Li patted Wang Qiang on the shoulder as well, his gaze sweeping over the two newcomers.

Welcome home.

Get a good rest tonight.

"We're going to be busy starting tomorrow!"

He digested the burning knowledge base of [Defense Construction Master] and [Trap Master] in his mind, a proud smile appearing on his lips.

"A seventeen-nation coalition wants to encircle and annihilate us?"

"Then I'll show them what true crushing is right here in this jungle!"
