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

[A netizen from the Free Nation: Are we taxpayers supporting a bunch of scumbags like this?]

[Chinese netizens: Holy crap, you guys are the real fighting nation! You don't hesitate to attack your own people.]

[A Pakistani netizen commented: "How dare you! I may not be able to eliminate the bloodthirsty coyotes, but I can certainly eliminate you!"]

[A netizen from Russia: Please help! Is there any risk of recovery?]

[Free Nation Netizen: It's all Victor Cromwell's fault! Why did he have to be so cocky and challenge a level 24 monster? Now he's having a good time? We're the ones who suffer.]

In the footage, bloodthirsty coyotes begin to invade suburban villas, cars on highways, and city streets...

The guards of various cities in the Free Nation are hunting down bloodthirsty coyotes everywhere, but the cost is extremely high.

Because the people of Free Nation love freedom, they have recently been protesting in the streets every day over food distribution issues, and the streets are full of people fleeing for their lives.

The military's approach is more direct: prioritizing the killing of bloodthirsty coyotes and ignoring collateral damage. Unless it's a wealthy area, in which case they will conduct ground rescue, they will simply bomb the rest of the area.

Seeing the lessons learned from the free nation, other countries around the world have all begun to prepare for war seriously.

The culprit, Victor Cromwell, was unaware of the disaster he had caused. He received a notification, but he didn't fully understand it. Seeing the number 7 and the words "Free Nation" in the divine text, he wondered if he had returned something to the Free Nation. He smiled slightly and said, "Everyone's benefited again. Thank me for my generosity."

[Chinese netizens: Hilarious! He even wants people to thank him.]

[A netizen from the Free Nation: Damn it, they've got no shame.]

However, the number of people attacked is ultimately small, and the level 24 coyotes on normal difficulty are indeed no match for the military. The 7 coyotes will be wiped out in no time.

Therefore, the vast majority of people still support Victor Cromwell.

[A netizen commented: What are you all arguing about? You can't even handle a little setback? Why were you silent when you were enjoying the food Victor Cromwell brought? It's just 700 dungeon monsters, not 7 million. I really don't understand why you're so ungrateful.]

[A netizen from the Free Nation: The problem is, I didn't get much food either! In China, everything is distributed equally, what about us? Oh… I know, you must be from a wealthy area or have a powerful family, you must have gotten a lot.]

[A netizen from the Free Nation: Stop arguing! Is it fun to make a fool of yourself? Can't you unite? This time it was too sudden; it won't happen again next time.]

[Chinese netizens: Sorry, we've seen enough.]

[A netizen from India: Is there a next time? When? I'm keeping an eye out.]

The Free State was in complete chaos today, and netizens were on tenterhooks watching the live stream, fearing that Victor Cromwell would cause trouble again.

The casualty figures for the Free State are not yet available, but people speculate that they must be substantial, given how sudden and widespread the casualties were.

…………

Lin Mo had no idea what was happening. After returning the 600 jin of meat and receiving his reward, he continued to look at the four passages around him.

Kabu was overjoyed because Lin Mo had passed one wind and one thunder elemental attack, bringing his total to 3 thunder and 1 wind, one step closer to having wings.

Lin Mo once said that if Kabu could fly, it would eat ant eggs upside down.

Lin Mo noticed a strange phenomenon: Kabu's weight was constantly increasing, but his body shape wasn't changing much, only getting a little bigger. Could it be that he'd become more muscular? Or that his body density had increased? 666!

[You are about to enter a huge military airfield, where 20 level 13 Big-Armed Bears and 20 level 13 Unicorn Pythons are entrenched. Now that there is no human presence here, they have started fighting for territory, and it is unclear what their motives are.]

You can find a silver chest in the hangar containing 6 fire elementals, 6 units of refined iron, and 6 units of wood.

Damn, 40 maze monsters! Lin Mo was really envious. How many beast cores and life essences could he get if he killed them all?

Just bear with it... let them be arrogant for one more day.

[You are about to reach an island in the distance, inhabited by over 200 powerful survivors. They are well-equipped with weapons and ammunition. Your reckless intrusion may result in a battle. You can find 30 kilograms of high-quality rice, 5000 milliliters of drinking water, and 20 high-quality potatoes in the warehouse.]

Hmm? This is the first time Lin Mo has encountered such strange terrain. There are no maze monsters, only humans, survivors?

No way, no way. Lin Mo had a natural awe of the unknown. He didn't care what these 200 people were doing; he was just ignoring them.

To your left lies a huge shopping mall, which has fallen and become the lair of 25 level 13 berserk apes. They are a group of very reasonable maze monsters. What kind of reasonable? Naturally, it's physical.

They are agile and ferocious, not easy to deal with. In the mall's underground parking garage, you can find 6 fire elementals, 6 units of refined iron, and 10 bottles of milk (1 jin each).

Cow... milk? Lin Mo and Kabu licked their lips at the same time, wanting to drink it, but they resisted.

A level 13 Nightmare-level monster isn't too much of a threat, but a level 25 monster with a speed frenzy is a much bigger threat.

[To your right lies a cave. Inside, there are 10 level 13 burrowing worms. They've dug up a large pile of refined iron, approximately 10 units, and a blueprint for a battle pet's excellent armor.]

"Lin Mo, this is great, this is great! I want a vest." Kabu jumped up and down happily, his round body swaying from side to side.

"Even in a vest, you're still a toad, hahaha!" Lin Mo laughed loudly.

"Looking down on a toad? Don't run away, Lin Mo, stop!" Kabu chased after him, but Lin Mo went straight into the right-hand passage.

This is indeed the best choice. After Kabu acquired his armor, Lin Mo couldn't even imagine how powerful he would become.

[Congratulations on reaching a new milestone! You have earned 3 maze points, bringing your current total to 15. Your progress on the second level of the maze is 25%. You will enter the fourth level after reaching 100%.]

Yes, yes, the first node has been achieved.

The man and the toad casually strolled into the cave, completely disregarding the ten level 13 burrowing worms inside.

Since Lin Mo is level 14 and Kabu is level 15, they are no longer the same fighters they were before. They can easily handle a mere 10 of them.

"Crack! Crack!" A familiar scene appeared: the floor of the cave began to crack, just like what had happened on the defensive wall before.

This time, however, Kabu and Lin Mo were different; they did not back down.

Kabu immediately brandished his claws and dug into the crack. "You like scaring people with cracked ground, huh? Let me see how much of a show-off you are. Come on, come on!"
