National Survival: I Supported the Dragon Nation by Hunting Dinosaurs

Chapter 96 A desperate gamble, awakening the maternal instinct deep within our genes.

The all-seeing eye didn't even have time to plan an evasion route.

Fortunately, Zhang Li was already on guard and twisted his body to the side on the ground, rolling away close to the ground.

"BOOM!!!"

Jagged rocks pierced the sky, and dust rose in all directions.

The spot where Zhang Li had just been standing has now become a pit more than one meter in diameter.

The monster's long beak was deeply embedded in the incredibly hard rock, like a hot knife cutting into butter.

Zhang Li glanced at the deep pit, his eyes twitching violently.

He had just experienced the hardness of this rock firsthand; even an entrenching tool required considerable effort to break it open.

And this guy only used one peck?

If this were to stab someone...

They couldn't even leave behind a complete corpse!

Amidst the smoke and dust, the blue-blooded monster slowly pulled out its long beak with effortless ease, then turned its head and locked onto Zhang Li once more.

"Since you want to die, then don't blame me."

Zhang Li spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva, his eyes instantly turning cold.

The moment he rolled to his feet, the crossbow in his hand was already raised.

Distance: 15 meters.

At this distance, the kinetic energy of the crossbow is enough to penetrate the outer shell of a light armored vehicle.

Target: Eyes.

That is the weakness of all living things.

The sound of the bowstring vibrating echoed on the mountaintop.

The alloy crossbow bolt transformed into a streak of light, accurately striking the monster's right eye, which glowed with blue light.

With this arrow, Zhang Li gambled all his predictions and experience.

It's guaranteed to win!

However, the crisp metallic clang sent a chill down Zhang Li's spine.

The monster didn't even try to dodge.

It merely closed its eyelids very casually.

The crossbow bolt, powerful enough to pierce a steel plate, was deflected the moment it struck its eyelid, much like a toothpick hitting tank armor. It was sent flying, spinning in the air before falling to the ground.

There wasn't even a white mark left on its eyelids.

"My God..."

In the military strategy room of the United States, researchers closely monitoring Zhang Li shouted with delight.

"Physical immunity... Unless heavy weapons are used, individual combat equipment is completely ineffective against it!"

"Zhang Li, he's really going to die this time."

On the battlefield.

Zhang Li watched the crossbow bolt bounce away, and his heart sank to the bottom.

Physical methods are ineffective.

This monster's defenses are beyond the capabilities of melee weapons...

The monster was clearly enraged by the attack.

It emitted a low growl from deep within its throat, and the blue light on its neck suddenly brightened, as if some high-energy reaction was brewing.

Is it going to unleash energy? Or a more ferocious melee?

Neither way is it right now, Zhang Li can't handle it.

run?

At that speed, running away is tantamount to handing your back to death.

A true dead end.

Just as the monster opened its massive beak, preparing to launch a fatal attack, at the critical moment...

Zhang Li's mind was racing amidst extreme calm.

That leaves only one last path—

Biological instinct.

Although this thing has mutated, its underlying genetic logic remains.

Every living thing has weaknesses.

Zhang Li did not retreat, but instead took a step forward.

He pulled something out of the space with his left hand.

It was a giant, pale blue egg.

He had stolen it from the lair earlier.

One of the two Quetzalcoatlus eggs...

Zhang Li held the dragon egg high with one hand.

He gathered his strength in his dantian and roared at the enraged beast:

Look here!!!

This roar exploded on the deathly silent mountaintop.

The blue-blooded monster, which was about to charge, suddenly stopped.

Those blue vertical pupils, which were originally filled with a bloodlust, contracted violently the moment they saw the pale blue giant egg.

That is... the continuation of bloodline.

Even if its genes have been rewritten by the 40th chromosome, even if it has become a different organism.

But deep within that mind, overwhelmed by a violent consciousness, the instincts of reproduction and protecting one's offspring remain ironclad laws etched into the genes.

Its head, which had been held high, showed a hint of hesitation.

That aura, capable of tearing everything apart, actually cracked at this moment.

It is struggling.

On one hand, there is the bloodlust brought about by genetic mutation; on the other hand, there is the deep-rooted maternal instinct.

Two opposing forces collided violently in its brain...

It's now!

Zhang Li astutely seized this fleeting opportunity.

He neither took the opportunity to escape nor attempted to attack.

He risked his life, approaching the monster step by step.

As he walked, he subtly adjusted the controller mode with his left hand.

The treatment has been changed from "electric shock punishment" to "microcurrent soothing".

At the same time, he activated the [Pheromone Release] skill.

A friendly emanation, unique to the Quetzalcoatl, emanated from Zhang Li...

"Calm down, Cang Yu..."

Zhang Li's voice seemed to have a magical quality!

He's gambling.

A mother's love can overcome her animalistic instincts.

The blue light in the blue-blooded monster's eyes began to flicker violently, sometimes bright and sometimes dim.

Its nostrils twitched wildly as it greedily inhaled the scent of a "cub" in the air.

Microcurrents flowed through the chip's brain, slowly calming its agitated nerves.

Zhang Li had slowly walked up to the monster.

If that behemoth had the slightest thought, it could have crushed his head like a watermelon.

But he didn't stop.

He gently placed the dragon egg at the monster's feet.

Then, he stretched out his hand, palm up, making a completely unguarded move.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment.

Billions of viewers worldwide forgot to breathe.

at last.

The ferocious blue light in the monster's eyes gradually faded, returning to its deep and cold azure hue.

The murderous intent to destroy everything vanished.

It lowered its head and gently touched the dragon egg on the ground with its huge beak.

The movements were as gentle as touching a fragile bubble.

Confirmed.

"call--"

Two streams of white, hot air shot out from its nostrils.

It slowly folded its wings, which were as strong as cast steel, and used its huge beak to push the dragon egg toward Zhang Li.

It felt like a mother entrusting her child to someone she trusts!

Zhang Li finally breathed a sigh of relief, although he knew that Cang Yu's goodwill towards him stemmed entirely from the chip's control.

He reached out and touched the other's wings, feeling the sensation in his palm. Cold sweat instantly soaked his clothes.

"Don't worry! We'll take good care of your child!"
