Surviving the Maze of National Destiny: Hints from the Chinese Characters I Understand

Victor Cromwell was arrogant, extremely arrogant. As explorers of the Free Nation, their ideas were completely different from those of the Dragon Nation explorers.

Dragon Kingdom explorers feel a heavy burden on their shoulders; behind them are billions of lives and the hope of everyone.

Western explorers, on the other hand, mostly enjoyed the privileges that came with being explorers. They did not feel any responsibility or burden, and even felt that others owed them food because they were the ones returning it.

More abstractly, Westerners admire strength, and even though Victor Cromwell was so arrogant, the comments section was still filled with people praising him.

[A Chinese netizen commented: "Huh? You're giving up already? I felt like we could still give it a shot. What if we won? Then we could save the national fortune points needed for resurrection!"]

[Free Nation Netizen: What do you know? Victor Cromwell only died once in his entire dungeon exploration career. Even if he's resurrected this time, it'll only cost 2 National Fortune Points. He's our Free Nation's strongest explorer. 2 National Fortune Points are enough for Victor Cromwell to figure out the depths of the dungeon; it's totally worth it.]

[A netizen from the Free Nation: You can't talk about ice with a summer insect. Why are you wasting your breath on them? Do you think they can understand this kind of advanced maneuvering?]

[A netizen from India: I hope nothing bad happens?]

[A netizen from the Kingdom of Rising Sun: What can you eat? Lord Victor Cromwell said before entering this place that he deliberately chose something a bit difficult to test his limits. Now that he has a general understanding of the situation, he'll just be more careful in the future.]

[Free Nation Netizen: Yeah, failure is the mother of success. There's no such thing as easy success. Keep it up, Lord Victor Cromwell!]

Not only do Free Nation netizens support Victor Cromwell, but even the Free Nation's evaluators think there's nothing wrong with Victor Cromwell; it was just a failed attempt, and the Free Nation can afford to give him 2 national fortune points.

Once Victor Cromwell awakens his multi-race bloodline, everything will be earned back many times over.

However, ideals are often far from reality, and reality is even more tragic.

With Victor Cromwell's defeat in the scene, humanity on Earth began to witness history.

The Free State appraiser immediately used 2 points of national fortune to resurrect Victor Cromwell.

The Free Nation has successfully resurrected Explorer Victor Cromwell using 2 points of national fortune. The Free Nation's current national fortune points: 49, national fortune index: 0.49.

A bold, red caption in the Earth's language scrolled across the live streams of explorers from all nations of Earth.

[Maze Game: Warning! Warning! Free Nation explorer Victor Cromwell has been killed by the level 24 maze monster, the Bloodthirsty Coyote. The Bloodthirsty Coyote will invade the Free Nation in 10 minutes at a rate of one ten-thousandth of the Free Nation's population, divided by the current national fortune index.]

[In actual statistics... The Free Nation currently has a population of 3.4 million. The initial number of Bloodthirsty Coyotes that have descended is one ten-thousandth of the population: 34000. Dividing this by the current national fortune index of 0.49, the actual number of descent is 69387, rounded up to 7.]

[Descent countdown: 9 minutes and 51 seconds. Free Nation, please make full preparations... Other nations need not panic; the descending monsters cannot cross the invisible wall.]

Stunned, dumbfounded, stunned, grinning, gloating... countless emotions surged among netizens around the world at this moment.

[A netizen from Pakistan: Holy crap, Lin Mo was right, monsters really are coming!]

[Chinese netizens: Lin Ge's prestige is still rising.]

[A netizen from India: Holy crap, guys from the Free Country, please take care of your bodies! Pshaw, take care of your health!]

[A netizen from Russia commented: "Hilarious! They even rounded it up and gave them a few hundred more. How thoughtful!"]

[A Chinese netizen commented: "We were just saying we didn't understand Victor Cromwell's sophisticated tactics, but now it seems I really didn't understand them either, hahaha!"]

[Free Nation Netizen: Laugh your ass! Just 7-odd bloodthirsty coyotes? Do you think our Free Nation's top military strength is just empty boasting?]

[A netizen from Pakistan commented: It's quite possible that this is just hype. You guys are only good at bullying third-rate countries. Have you ever fought a tough war? Didn't our big brother China scare you decades ago? In terms of conventional strength, mobilization capabilities, fighting resolve, and equipment production scale, it's really hard to guess who has the strongest military right now.]

[Free Nation Expert: Please do not panic. Our army has begun mobilization. 7 bloodthirsty coyotes cannot shake us.]

[A netizen from the Free Nation: 666, no wonder they're the world's leading military power.]

In the real Free Country, their command center was already overwhelmed with work, mobilizing various combat forces, but due to a year of neglected combat readiness, the efficiency was extremely low.

Many soldiers refused to return to their units, preferring to stay in their basements to avoid the danger. After all, 7 bloodthirsty coyotes were scattered throughout the Free Nation, so they might not be found, but they would definitely encounter them on the battlefield.

The 10-minute countdown quickly ended, and the ceremony began!

The maze game also thoughtfully projects the arrival scene above the Earth, just like playing a battle royale game. You can also choose to follow the perspective of any coyote.

Netizens around the world quickly selected their preferred perspective from the bloodthirsty coyote to watch the live stream.

Everyone, human or ghost, is showing off, while only the people of the Free Country are getting beaten up.

In the scene, 7 beams of light descend across the entire Free Nation, seemingly emanating from a labyrinth floating in the sky.

These bloodthirsty coyotes roam the suburbs, wilderness, and urban areas without any pattern; some even drift into lakes and remain stranded.

Helicopters and drones filled the sky searching for traces of coyotes, followed by heavy machine guns from the helicopters firing wildly. If the bloodthirsty coyotes were in an open area, the armed helicopters would even launch rockets.

The level 24 Bloodthirsty Coyotes are extremely fast and have good defense. After the large-caliber bullets hit the Bloodthirsty Coyotes, they staggered, but they immediately got up and continued to run wildly, with only a little blood flowing from their bodies.

These bloodthirsty coyotes possess a certain level of intelligence; they quickly seek cover to escape aerial pursuit, making suburban houses and urban high-rise buildings their preferred choices.

A bloodthirsty coyote being chased leaped more than 10 meters, smashing through the wooden door of a small villa and entering the inner room.

In the Free State, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and many suburban buildings are made of wood, which highlights the drawbacks of the situation.

The male owner picked up the AR-12 rifle and opened fire, but such a small-caliber rifle was too weak against the Bloodthirsty Coyote. The Bloodthirsty Coyote pounced and ended the male owner's piecemeal attack.

The pilot of the armed helicopter in the sky received the order: "Fire! Use rockets and airborne ground missiles."

Driver: "But the thermal imaging also shows a family hiding in the cellar."

"Open fire! That's an order. What does it matter if a few people die? Our mission is to eliminate the monsters, not to save lives."

The next second, flames shot into the sky, the house was blown to rubble, and neither the bloodthirsty coyote nor the people inside came out.

This time, even netizens in the Free Country were in an uproar.
