National Survival: I Supported the Dragon Nation by Hunting Dinosaurs

The breaths of seven billion people around the world are synchronized at this moment.

The list flashed by quickly, and Li Yue and Huang Xiaoying each contributed a prehistoric lungfish, unsurprisingly securing a ranking of over two hundredth again.

Although they didn't rank high, both of them had smiles on their faces.

In this apocalyptic world where starvation is rampant, even a single fish, after being multiplied a hundredfold, is enough to save a neighborhood on the verge of starvation.

The list keeps rolling, and the real battle for the top ten is yet to come...

When the fourth person appeared, the holographic screen suddenly stopped, and a golden light flashed.

[Fourth Place: Jason from Canada. Contribution: Utah Velociraptor x1]

The live stream from Canada instantly went wild!

"God bless! It's Jason! That's dinosaur meat!"

"He is our hero! That shotgun is God's salvation for us!"

In the video, Jason is carrying a shotgun and has a big smile on his face.

He enjoys this feeling, and even through the screen, he can imagine the cheers of the people.

However, the screen did not display the third place as expected!

[Second Place: Dragon Kingdom, Zhang Li. Contribution: Fear of Dragons x1]

In the Dragon Kingdom's live stream room, the cheers had barely begun when they were drowned out by jeers.

American netizens flooded the live stream, spamming the chat.

"Hahaha! Is this all the Chinese people are like?"

"That's hilarious! Your Zhang Li only came in second place?"

"Just watch! First place will definitely go to our Captain Roland!"

"The giant duck-dragon that Captain Roland hunted weighed more than a dreadnought! That's a crushing defeat due to its sheer size!"

The seventeen-nation alliance is already popping champagne, celebrating their victory ahead of schedule.

Inside the semi-subterranean camp.

The campfire illuminated Roland's arrogant face.

He looked at Zhang Li's name and gave a contemptuous smile.

"Second place... Hmph, Zhang Li, I admit you're a very strong opponent!"

"But that's not enough!"

Roland turned to Jason beside him: "My brother, thanks to your shotgun. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to take down that giant duck dragon so easily."

Jason whistled smugly: "You're too kind, Roland! The Maple Leaf Country and the Eagle Country will always be brothers!"

Just when everyone thought the dust had settled, the top spot was finally revealed.

The voice of the Blue Star's will resounded like thunder.

[First Place: Dragon Kingdom, Wang Qiang.]

[Contributed Item: Rare earth metal ore (containing multiple rare earth elements), Volume: 1 cubic meter.]

Roland's smile froze, becoming both comical and stiff.

"Wang Qiang? Who's that?"

"Where did this guy come from?!"

"Stones? A bunch of stones can get first place?"

Before Roland could even react, the system's voice, like a finishing blow, rang out again.

[Third Place: United States of America, Roland. Contribution: Big Duck Dragon x1]

"Fuck!!!"

Roland suddenly stood up and kicked over the campfire in front of him.

"Why?! Why am I third?! I killed dinosaurs! Tons of meat!!"

His roar echoed through the valley, sounding pale and powerless.

Inside the cave camp.

Wang Qiang stared blankly at his own name.

"Am I seeing things? I'm number one?"

Zhang Li remained unusually calm; he had anticipated all of this.

He patted Wang Qiang on the shoulder: "Brother Qiang, congratulations."

Wang Qiang was still puzzled. "That's meat! The whole world is short of food right now. It's worth more than stones, isn't it?"

Zhang Li walked to the cave entrance, his voice deep and powerful.

"Brother Qiang, remember this."

"For someone who is starving to death, a steamed bun is indeed more important than gold."

"But for the will of Earth to save itself, non-renewable resources are even more important!"

"Moreover, for China, without rare earth elements, missiles cannot fly accurately, radar cannot see far, and chips cannot be manufactured."

Just then, the voice of the Blue Star's will rang out once again.

[Wang Qiang, a contestant from China, has been detected as contributing rare strategic-grade mineral resources for the first time.]

[Hidden rule triggered.]

[The amount of supplies available this time will be increased tenfold from the original "100,000 times"!]

[Final realization multiplier: One million times!]

This caused an uproar not only in the live broadcast room, but also in the highest command headquarters of various countries.

The highest command center of the Dragon Kingdom.

The decision-maker's eyes were filled with tears of excitement.

"One million times..."

"One million cubic meters of rare earth ore!!"

The Pentagon of the United States.

A group of gray-haired generals and congressmen slumped in their chairs.

"It's over..."

"One million cubic meters of high-purity rare earth elements..."

Someone trembled as they took off their glasses: "China's technology is already advanced! If it weren't for the depletion of resources, we would have already started interstellar migration long ago!"

This million cubic meters of rare earth resources is enough for China's military technology to undergo multiple iterations!

Just as the Western world was wailing.

The red phone on the Dragon Kingdom's external dedicated line suddenly rang.

The operator's voice was excited: "The decision-maker! This is the hotline for the decision-makers of the Bear Kingdom!"

The decision-maker in the Dragon Kingdom calmed himself down and picked up the receiver.

On the other end of the phone came the other person's signature strong voice, tinged with urgency.

"Hello, old friend from the East."

"I saw the live stream. Congratulations, it's simply a miracle."

The decision-maker from Xiong Kingdom paused for a moment, then got straight to the point: "I'm not going to mince words."

"Bear Country's industry has been stagnant for too long. We need rare earth elements, we desperately need them."

"I am willing to trade the Styx Dragon flesh that our contestants have materialized back with you."

The leader remained silent for a moment.

Rare earth elements are strategic resources, and in the past, they would never have been easily exported.

But now it's the end of the world. Although the Dragon Kingdom has mines, it lacks protein to keep its people alive.

"My friend," the decision-maker said calmly, "we both know the value of rare earth elements. But since this is a request from an ally..."

"One cubic meter of rare earth ore can be exchanged for the clean flesh of ten Styx Dragons."

There was a full five seconds of silence on the other end of the phone.

This is a high price.

But the decision-maker from Xiong Guo gritted his teeth and said, "Deal! We'll exchange 100 cubic meters first!"

……

Dragon Kingdom, Bohai Bay.

This place was once the busiest military port in the Dragon Kingdom, but now it is deserted.

Under a gloomy sky, the waves crashed against the shore.

Three steel behemoths stand silently on the bay.

Those are the three aircraft carriers of the Dragon Kingdom—Fengtian, Qilu, and Bamin.

Once a dominant force that commanded respect across the seas, the ship is now covered in rust, its radar has stopped working, and its deck is empty.

In the past fifty years of resource depletion, due to the lack of key rare earth elements to replace precision electronic components, their hearts have long since stopped beating.

An elderly man, dressed in a faded naval combat uniform, was hunched over wiping the mooring bollards on the dock.

He is the last guardian of this place.

He has stayed for fifty years, watching these old buddies grow old day by day.

Suddenly, a trembling command came from the old-fashioned walkie-talkie he was carrying:

"Attention, Sentry Post 01! Attention, Sentry Post 01!"

"The rare earth resources are on their way; we need to get them repaired!"

"The motherland's warships... are about to set sail!!"

The rag in the old man's hand fell to the ground.

He turned around shakily to face the three aircraft carriers that were as large as mountains.

The sea breeze tousled his white hair, but it couldn't extinguish the flame in his eyes.

He slowly straightened his back, which had been bent by the weight of time, raised his right hand, and gave a standard military salute.

Tears streamed down her deeply lined face.

"Old buddies..."

"We... can set sail again!"
