National Survival: I Supported the Dragon Nation by Hunting Dinosaurs

Inside the cave, the campfire crackled and popped.

Zhang Li sat cross-legged by the fire, patting the dust off his hands: "Bring out today's harvest and see what we can offer as a sacrifice."

Wang Qiang and Li Yue exchanged a glance, then simultaneously reached out and pressed their hands into the void.

Two white lights flashed by.

Two golden-winged dragons, each the size of an ostrich, appeared out of nowhere in the center of the cave.

Its body was covered with fine feathers, and its sharp claws gleamed coldly in the firelight.

Wang Qiang touched one of the heads, his eyes filled with complex emotions: "Thanks to Zhang Li, otherwise we would both be done for today."

Li Yue nodded: "This thing is indeed very powerful in combat, and it can also cooperate as a team."

Huang Xiaoying looked at the two dinosaurs, somewhat at a loss. Wang Qiang and Li Yue had both brought out such heavyweight items, so what about Zhang Li?

His eyes immediately became fixed on Zhang Li, eagerly anticipating what prey Zhang Li would produce.

Zhang Li felt a little uncomfortable being stared at. He looked around and then said something indifferently.

"The space here is a bit small..."

Zhang Li walked a few steps deeper into the cave and found a more spacious place. He then waved his hand.

The massive carcass of a Triceratops crashed directly onto the cave floor!

The entire cave shook three times.

It was a sub-adult Triceratops, nearly five meters long, with its three sharp horns gleaming coldly in the firelight.

Holy crap!!!

Li Yue's eyes widened. "This...this is a Triceratops?!"

Wang Qiang was also stunned, his mouth agape wide enough to fit an egg.

Huang Xiaoying looked at Zhang Li in disbelief: "What did you do on this trip? You even brought back such a huge Triceratops!"

Zhang Li shrugged and said in a flat tone, "Just lucky."

……

The live stream room in China exploded instantly.

"This god-like figure is way too Versailles!!"

"A lucky break? You call that a lucky break?!"

"I suspect the word 'danger' doesn't exist in Li Shen's dictionary."

……

Inside the cave.

Zhang Li pointed to one of the dragons that resembled a golden-winged bird: "Let's sacrifice this golden-winged bird dragon."

"You guys handle the other one; it'll be an extra treat tonight."

Wang Qiang agreed, pulled a sharp military knife from his waist, and squatted down next to the dinosaur to begin processing it.

His movements were extremely professional.

First, they precisely cut open the dinosaur's abdomen, avoiding the internal organs, and then carefully removed the meat along the bone structure. Their technique was clean and efficient, with almost no meat wasted.

Li Yue stared in disbelief: "Brother Qiang, your technique... is even more professional than the butchers at the slaughterhouse!"

Huang Xiaoying was also curious: "What did you do before?"

Wang Qiang smiled, without stopping what he was doing: "Before I retired from the army, I was a reconnaissance soldier. During wilderness survival training, handling prey was a basic skill."

"After I was discharged from the military..." He paused, "I started an orphanage with my family, and there are thirty children in the center."

"I usually cook for the children, and the more I handle the ingredients, the more skilled I become."

Zhang Li paused slightly in his movements.

Li Yue's eyes widened in disbelief: "Thirty children?! Brother Qiang, how did you manage to feed all these children when resources were so scarce? That's incredible!"

Wang Qiang shook his head, his tone calm: "It's nothing great. I'm a soldier of China, and even after retiring, I just wanted to contribute to society. That's all."

"Of course, I couldn't do it on my own. Fortunately, my family and comrades helped me in every way. They saved every penny so that those children could have enough to eat."

At this point, a hint of nostalgia flashed in Wang Qiang's eyes.

"Speaking of which, I really miss them... I was suddenly chosen, and I wonder how they are doing now."

Inside the cave, the atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

The flickering firelight illuminated everyone's faces.

……

In the Dragon Kingdom's live stream, the chat was instantly flooded with tears.

"Brother Qiang..."

"In this era of dwindling resources, there are still people willing to adopt thirty children..."

"These are true soldiers of the Dragon Kingdom!"

Xiao Sa's voice choked up a little: "We... should pay more attention to the contestants' family situations."

Each and every one of them is the pillar of their family.

Xu Zhiping nodded emphatically: "They are protecting the fate of our nation, and we must never allow the families of these heroes to suffer any injustice!"

Academician Ma pushed up his glasses, his eyes slightly red.

"The families of all Chinese athletes should be included in the national welfare system!"

The barrage of comments exploded instantly.

"We must support this!"

"Heroes cannot shed blood and tears!"

……

Inside the cave.

Zhang Li looked at Wang Qiang, remained silent for a moment, then took out refined salt from his storage space and handed it to him.

"It will taste better with this."

Wang Qiang took the salt bag, his eyes filled with complex emotions: "You kid... you really know everything."

Soon, under Wang Qiang's professional skill, half of the dragon resembling a golden-winged bird was placed on the fire and slowly rotated like a whole roasted lamb.

Sprinkle fine salt evenly on the surface of the meat.

sizzle-

Golden oil dripped into the flames, making an enticing sound.

The rich aroma of meat wafted through the air, mixed with the wild scent unique to prehistoric creatures, making one's mouth water.

Huang Xiaoying swallowed hard: "This taste... is amazing."

Li Yue couldn't help but move closer: "I've almost forgotten what meat tastes like."

Wang Qiang skillfully flipped the grill and said with a smile, "Almost done, just five more minutes."

……

Five minutes later.

The four sat around the fire, each holding a large piece of golden-brown roasted dinosaur meat.

Zhang Li took a bite; the meat was firm and had a slightly salty and savory flavor.

"Yes, it's a bit lacking in cumin..."

Li Yue ate with gusto, her mouth brimming with oil: "It's so delicious! A hundred times better than the synthetic meat on Earth!"

Huang Xiaoying rarely smiled, saying, "This is real meat..."

Wang Qiang watched as the group ate happily, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

The atmosphere inside the cave was warm and harmonious.

……

at the same time.

It is 25 kilometers away from the Dragon Kingdom camp.

Inside a secluded semi-subterranean shelter.

Seven burly men sat around a campfire, but the atmosphere was completely different.

Roland sat in the center, expressionlessly wiping the tactical axe in his hand.

To his left were two wildebeest racers, dark-skinned and wary-looking.

On the right, there is a South Korean player and a Japanese player, who are arguing in hushed tones.

"Baka! You Koreans are all brainless!"

"What did you say?! Do you believe I'll kill you right now?!"

"That's enough!"

Roland spoke coldly, his voice not loud, but full of pressure.

The two immediately shut up.

Roland raised his head, his gaze sweeping over everyone present: "I hope you can put aside your prejudices for now."

"Our main mission is the Dragon Kingdom."

"Once all the Chinese players are eliminated, your Korean and Japanese countries can plunder their resources."

"They make up nearly one-fifth of the world's population, and their extinction will provide more living space for all of us."

Upon hearing this, both of their eyes lit up.

Roland truly lives up to his reputation as a top player in the United States. In just a few words, he considered both the interests of the alliance and the selfish motives of various countries.

He turned to the two Wildebeest Nation contestants (Black Egg and Enzo): "As a nation of the African savanna, you have ample experience in wilderness survival. Starting tomorrow, you will primarily be responsible for reconnaissance."

"Remember, if you spot a Chinese player, especially a thin young man, don't attack him directly. Report to us first."

"Zhang Li from the Dragon Kingdom has special methods; only an infrared detector can guarantee his death."

Just then, Jason from Maple Leaf Country brandished his shotgun: "Oh? Why don't you let me go scout! Just a few Chinese, they're nothing, I can take them out."

His tone was full of arrogance.

Everyone else looked at the gun in Jason's hand with apprehension.

It was a shotgun obtained from an airdrop, equipped with two large box rounds.

Roland's eyes turned cold: "You'd better not underestimate Zhang Li. He's definitely not an ordinary person."

"Besides, you're the only one among us with firearms, so you have to come with us on the hunt."

"Remember, our primary task is to acquire sufficient resources for our country!"

Jason pursed his lips and said nothing more.

After all, on Earth, Canada will always be America's backyard.

Just then.

A grand sound resounded throughout the prehistoric world.

[Day 4 of survival has ended.]

[The offering of supplies is now beginning.]
