National Survival: I Supported the Dragon Nation by Hunting Dinosaurs

In the early morning, the air in the cave was filled with the faint smell of disinfectant and the aroma of roasted meat.

The surgery was successful, and Wang Qiang was still fast asleep because the effects of propofol hadn't worn off.

He was huddled in his sleeping bag, his brow furrowed, muttering incoherently.

"Father...Mother...I'm not in pain..."

"I didn't bring shame to the Wang family... I didn't bring shame to the army..."

Li Yue was holding a damp cotton swab to moisten his lips when she paused.

Wang Qiang suddenly murmured in a Henan accent.

"Hey you... Little Stone, Ni'er, don't fight over it... There's enough for everyone... The Dean brought you some goodies... Everyone will have new clothes for the New Year..."

At that moment, Leng Feng, who was munching on compressed biscuits, stopped chewing.

Huang Xiaoying turned her head and pretended to tidy up the firewood.

The chat room, which had been discussing surgical techniques, suddenly fell silent.

Moments later, the screen was flooded with comments.

"Brothers, I'm still feeling the effects of the general anesthesia. Brother Qiang is still thinking about the children at the orphanage."

"I saw an insider online saying that he spent all his retirement pension on it and he doesn't even buy himself clothes."

"Little Stone and Ni'er are watching the live stream, Qiang Ge, wake up!"

The atmosphere inside the cave was somewhat somber.

Li Yue sniffed, gently rested her head on Huang Xiaoying's shoulder, and said in a tearful voice, "Sister Xiaoying, I'm a little homesick."

"I wonder if my parents will be worried sick if they see me like this... I miss them."

Huang Xiaoying gently patted her back, her eyes tender yet firm: "Don't cry, they're definitely watching us. Besides, we won first place this time, and the nation has sent down a life-saving rain."

"Just think about it, in China today, the sky must be blue and the water must be sweet."

"We're working so hard here so that they can have a better life over there, right?"

These words were like a pebble thrown into a calm lake.

In the Dragon Kingdom's live broadcast room, countless viewers broke down in tears.

"Li Yue, don't cry! We're doing great now!"

"The Pearl River is clear now, I'm kowtowing to you on the riverbank!"

"The black soil of Beidacang has come alive again! Next year we'll be able to eat new rice! It's all thanks to you who risked your lives!"

"You are heroes! Living legends!"

Although they couldn't see the comments, the palpitations of kinship made everyone in the cave fall silent.

Zhang Li sat in the corner, his eyes deep and thoughtful.

Family?

In that parallel world, he was an orphan, a sharpened blade of the nation.

The original owner of this body was also an orphan.

He had no ties on Earth.

If there is anything, it is this land that gave him birth and nurtured him, and that bright red flag.

Regardless of time or place, loyalty is etched into my very bones.

"Alright."

Zhang Li stood up, breaking the slightly somber atmosphere.

He offered no comfort, because in this dog-eat-dog world, tears are the cheapest liquid.

"It's okay to miss home, but you have to stay alive before you can go home."

He walked to the cave entrance and looked at the surging sea of ​​clouds in the distance.

"The spies from the Seventeen-Nation Alliance are probably already on their way. Although our location is well-hidden, it's only a matter of time before we're exposed as our activities expand."

"This place must become an impregnable steel fortress before they can encircle it."

Leng Feng brushed the debris off his hands, his eyes regaining the sharpness of a special forces soldier: "Whatever you say, we'll do."

……

The division of labor is very clear.

Wang Qiang was still unconscious. Li Yue, being a girl, had been on guard all night and was exhausted. Zhang Li arranged for her to stay and take care of Wang Qiang, and also to sort out the supplies in the airdrop.

Huang Xiaoying's injuries have improved considerably after these past few days of recovery.

Thus, Zhang Li, Leng Feng, and Huang Xiaoying formed a temporary "infrastructure commando team".

Target: Granite.

Although Wang Qiang mined a lot yesterday, most of it was scattered in the quarry and was not transported back.

With Leng Feng's help, the three of them quickly completed the transportation using the space, and with Zhang Li's BUG-level talent as a defense construction master, they quickly completed the construction of the bunker.

Meanwhile, Li Yue was fiddling with the generator, looking somewhat troubled: "How do I use this thing?"

"Don't assemble the generator yet."

Zhang Li pointed to the depths of the cave, "Once Brother Qiang is feeling better, we'll build a waterwheel. With this underground river, we can achieve electricity freedom."

……

Dragon Kingdom Live Stream Room.

It was almost noon, and the professors and He Jiong had already returned to the studio.

He Jiong asked, "Professors, Coach Xu, the infrastructure is taking shape. What do you think Zhang Li's next step is?"

Coach Xu picked up his thermos and smiled.

As the ancients said: "In all battles, one engages with the orthodox and wins with the unorthodox. Only by knowing oneself and one's enemy can one be invincible in every battle."

Xu Zhiping's voice was calm and powerful: "To establish a long-term presence in a place, the most important things are intelligence and maps!"

"Furthermore, I don't believe that contestant Zhang Li has absolutely no interest in controlling dinosaurs!"

"Therefore, he must have used military-grade reconnaissance drones to thoroughly understand the surrounding environment and create tactical maps!"

"Finally, we decided which dinosaur we wanted to control."

The voice just fell.

On the screen, Leng Feng took the remote control terminal; he was the most knowledgeable about drones in the team.

"Battery voltage checked, normal."

"The image transmission link connection is stable."

Leng Feng's fingers flew across the control panel.

"take off."

With a gentle push of the joystick with your thumb.

The quadcopter emitted a low buzzing sound, stirring up fallen leaves and dust from the ground.

The black war eagle soared vertically into the sky, piercing the misty air of the prehistoric jungle.

Height 50 meters... 100 meters... 300 meters!

The live stream feed switched instantly.

The oppressive perspective that was originally confined to the interior of the jungle suddenly opened up!

At that moment, all of humanity held its breath.

This is the first time that humanity has examined this cruel yet magnificent prehistoric world from an overhead perspective.

On the screen, the green forest undulates like waves, stretching endlessly.

Huge cycads and ferns spread across the land like a carpet.

A wide, turbid river meanders through the jungle, reflecting a dazzling golden light in the sunlight.

The camera zooms in.

Those colossal creatures that once struck fear into the hearts of humankind are now nothing more than tiny black dots like ants on the screen.

A group of enormous Brachiosaurus were strolling on the riverbank;

Along the riverbank, the broad back of the prehistoric Deinosuchus can be faintly seen;

"So beautiful..."

"Is this the blue planet from 200 million years ago?"

Countless viewers were captivated by this magnificent painting.

However, Leng Feng's eyes remained completely unmoved.

He stared at the control panel in his hand, his fingers constantly swiping across the screen, quickly scanning and recording the surrounding 3D terrain map in the built-in system.

Terrain data has been imported...

[Water source marking complete...]

[Trajectory marking of large organisms...]

Sudden.

Zhang Li's eyes suddenly lit up as he looked at the images transmitted back by the drone!

"Quick! Zoom in on that valley cliff to the southeast!"

"That is..."
