National Survival: I Supported the Dragon Nation by Hunting Dinosaurs

The drone camera slowly zoomed in under Leng Feng's control, revealing a gray-white cliff face.

The cliffs are over 300 meters high, with only a few drought-resistant shrubs growing tenaciously in the crevices.

This is an absolute no-go zone for land predators.

As the camera zooms in, a huge nest made of dead branches appears on a platform at the top of the cliff.

Scattered around the nest were white skeletons, including the remains of fish and small dinosaurs.

Two enormous creatures stood beside their nest, their wings folded.

His mere standing posture exudes a strong sense of oppression.

Zhang Li's eyes were strange. He remembered the three Quetzalcoatlus that were attracted by the red smoke from the airdrop that day. He killed one of them. He didn't expect that the other two were not far away. No wonder they were able to reach the airdrop gathering point so quickly!

Viewers in the live stream could only see the distant view transmitted back by the drone and did not see the close-up on the control terminal.

The comments section was filled with curiosity and anxiety.

"What exactly did Li Shen see?"

"Is there something on that cliff?"

"Stop keeping me in suspense! You're driving me crazy!"

Inside the camp, Leng Feng stared at the screen, his Adam's apple bobbing with difficulty.

He abruptly turned to look at Zhang Li, his eyes filled with disbelief: "You're insane... You're not thinking of using that chip on 'it,' are you?"

Zhang Li remained calm as he identified the largest one among them.

That's exactly what I was thinking.

Looking at Leng Feng's expression, Li Yue's curiosity was piqued.

She moved closer to the two of them, squeezing her head in front of the screen: "Hey, what kind of riddle are you two playing? Let me see..."

The next second, a national treasure exclaimed: "Holy crap! This... isn't that a Quetzalcoatlus?!"

As soon as Li Yue finished speaking, the live stream chat exploded.

"My God! Quetzalcoatlus?"

"A god wants to control this thing? That's even more absurd than riding a Tyrannosaurus Rex!"

"But the brain capacity of the Quetzalcoatlus was definitely among the top of all dinosaurs!"

A heated discussion broke out in the studio.

Coach Xu's eyes gleamed with fervor: "Genius! An absolute strategic genius!"

"If we can control the Quetzalcoatl, the Dragon Kingdom team will have air superiority in this world!"

"Reconnaissance, raids, airdrops of supplies, and even devastating attacks on the enemy!"

However, Academician Ma looked troubled and shook his head repeatedly: "Director Xu, I agree with you strategically, but in terms of scientific practice, this is practically a suicidal mission!"

"Although Quetzalcoatlus had a relatively large brain capacity, its skull structure was very special. Its bones were hollow and extremely fragile in order to reduce weight."

"Implanting a chip requires opening the skull, and the slightest mistake could puncture the brain."

"Moreover, the Quetzalcoatlus was a flying creature, and its balance sensory system was extremely sophisticated."

If the surgery causes even 0.1 millimeters of nerve damage, it may never be able to fly again, and the chip will be useless!

Instructor Xu retorted, "But risks and rewards go hand in hand! The seventeen-nation coalition is currently encircling us. If we don't gain the upper hand in this war, even building fortifications will only leave us vulnerable to attack!"

"Once the Quetzalcoatl is successfully controlled, it will be a Damocles' sword hanging over the enemy's head!"

Professor Li, who had been silent for a long time, then spoke.

"I also know a little about brain-computer interface technology. The brain size of the Quetzalcoatlus is equivalent to that of a low-level primate!"

"This research was originally based on targeted studies of modern primates!"

"I also think there's a good chance of successfully controlling the Quetzalcoatl!"

The viewers in the live broadcast room listened to the experts' debate and were divided into two camps.

"That's too risky! If it fails, the chip will be ruined, and we'll suffer a huge loss!"

"Fortune favors the bold! When has Li Shen ever let us down?"

The scene returns to the camp.

Leng Feng pointed out the most practical problem: "This thing lives on a cliff, how are we going to get up there?"

"And how do we capture and anesthetize this one without alerting the other two?"

Zhang Li pointed at the Quetzalcoatl on the screen: "What we want is not to go up, but to lure it down."

Li Yue looked at the silver-white tranquilizer gun: "But the instruction manual says that this gun only has a range of 50 meters."

"What if it misses, or the anesthesia takes too long to take effect..."

Everyone understood the consequences.

Zhang Li shook his head: "We won't give it a chance to react."

"I'll take care of drawing the nerve, and Leng Feng will take care of the tranquilizer gun. We only have one chance, and we must hit the carotid artery."

"The Quetzalcoatlus only weighs 200 to 300 kilograms! The anesthetic will take effect within thirty seconds!"

"During this time, we used ropes to control its wings to prevent it from flying away."

Li Yue was terrified: "What if it struggles? That strength..."

"That's why we need you." Zhang Li looked at her. "Your task is to use this the moment it falls."

He took out a specially made high-strength nylon rope from the airdrop crate.

"Set up trailer hooks in the trees around the target beforehand, and once it is anesthetized, immediately use a lasso to completely restrict its movement."

Leng Feng was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly laughed: "Okay, this plan is crazy enough, but it's definitely feasible."

"But the biggest problem is how to get him to come down..."

Zhang Li smiled mysteriously. This matter might be difficult for others, but for him, it was almost effortless!

Inside the camp, Leng Feng landed and retrieved the drone, and a detailed terrain map had already been generated on the control terminal.

"The surrounding terrain, water sources, and activity patterns of large creatures have all been marked." Leng Feng pointed to the densely packed markings on the screen. "This area has three natural passes; if the enemy wants to encircle us, they will have to pass through two of them."

Zhang Li stared at the map, his finger swiping across the screen: "We need to set up a trap at each of these two passes. We're short-handed right now, so it would be best to leave people to keep watch at these passes later!"

"Understood." Leng Feng nodded.

Li Yue was organizing the equipment on the side. She put the tranquilizer gun and nylon rope into her hands. Although her movements were clumsy, she was very serious.

"Li Shen, are we really going to catch those two pterosaurs?" Li Yue swallowed hard. "I have a feeling of unease."

Zhang Li glanced at her: "Scared?"

"It's not that I'm scared," Li Yue shook her head, "it's just that I think...it's too crazy."

"Only madness offers a way to survive," Zhang Li said calmly. "The Seventeen Nations Alliance won't give us much time."

Huang Xiaoying silently checked the strength of the rope. Her wound had scabbed over, and although it still hurt a little, it did not affect her movement.

"Let's go when we're ready." Zhang Li slung his crossbow over his shoulder. "Qiang-ge, leave this to Xiaoying. The three of us will go."

Huang Xiaoying looked up: "I can go too."

"You stay here," Zhang Li said firmly. "If Brother Qiang wakes up, he'll need someone to take care of him. Besides, the camp can't be left unattended."

Huang Xiaoying bit her lip and finally nodded.
