Survival of the Nation: My luck was a tiny bit worse.

however.

When Leng Ruolan arrived at the scene, this was what she saw—

A group of lions were wrestling and biting each other mercilessly, leaving them covered in wounds.

Ou Yun sat beside him, lying down, drinking water and munching on jerky.

"..."

Leng Ruolan paused for a moment—as if she subconsciously wanted to say something.

But he still didn't say it.

She then slowly walked over.

"Aren't you afraid of getting diarrhea from eating like that?"

"Hey, Captain Leng, you're here."

Ou Yun then sat up slightly, saying, "I won't get diarrhea, I eat like this every day—"

Leng Ruolan asked, "Big brother, what kind of supernatural power did you use this time?"

I also noticed that Ou Yun's backpack was empty.

Oh! That explains it!

Ou Yun explained, "It's nothing, I was just being chased by a group of lions... and now they've stopped chasing me, that's all."

Leng Ruolan looked at what was in front of her.

"roar--"

The lion pride was in high spirits and fought fiercely, with several lions already lying on the ground, panting heavily from exhaustion.

She understood it, yet she didn't quite get it.

"Then what are you doing here?"

"Wait."

Suddenly, Ou Yun was seen holding a large cleaver—

Leng Ruolan looks exactly like Maxim's back then, all shiny and bright. He wanted it but they wouldn't give it to him, and he actually gave it to Ouyun.

"What are you waiting for?"

"Let's finish them off once they're almost gone."

"It's no use. I even tried burning it with stones before, but that only buys time. It'll probably recover in no time."

Leng Ruolan shrugged.

"Hey, have you seen 'Oni X-Kimi'?"

"?"

"The ghosts inside also have self-healing abilities; they can recover from any wound, big or small, or even severed limbs."

Ou Yun flashed a warm, elder brother-like smile.

"Once their heads are cut off, they won't regenerate!"

"..."

Oh! That's a good idea! Worth a try—

Leng Ruolan slapped her forehead.

Ok?

Wait, there seems to be something she forgot to ask...

"With so many lions, why did they suddenly stop chasing you?"

"..."

However, as soon as the question was raised, Ou Yun's expression immediately turned sad.

"Ugh, don't even mention it, my golden supply crate... and all I got was this!"

Ou Yun slammed down the Supreme Deluxe Royal Unbeatable Ultimate Grilled Steak Family Pack, muttering and cursing under his breath.

"Although these lions did start fighting over the steak and lost interest in chasing me..."

"..."

If it weren't for the fact that this thing was emitting a faint golden light...

Leng Ruolan genuinely thought that Ou Yun was just teasing her again.

"Did you get this from a gold supply crate?"

After confirming it was true several times, Leng Ruolan was still a little hesitant to believe it.

Good heavens, she believed her older brother could get ridiculously expensive gadgets.

But that's perfectly normal—

No, that's not right, and it's not normal either; it's actually absurd on another level.

No...that's not right, steak is actually a normal prop, isn't it? Compared to leftover salt, it couldn't be more normal!

Oh wait, no, no, how could a steak come out of a golden supply crate? It's getting too big for its britches!

Oh right, right right, right. It was precisely because it came from the golden supply box that it helped distract the lion pride, wasn't it?

Leng Ruolan: Brainstorming.jpg

Even the Chinese audience found it hard to hold back:

"You mean this thing, right? It's just a steak..."

"What's wrong with the steak? This is the steak that saved Brother Lucky's life, it's not your ordinary steak!"

"Any steak I can't have is considered bad! Humph!"

Ou Yun glanced at Leng Ruolan and said, "Alright, Captain Leng, don't dwell on things you can't understand. I can't understand them either, so why are you doing this to yourself?"

Leng Ruolan's expression was extremely complicated. "Never mind. Big brother, what are the next instructions?"

"Didn't we say we'd harvest them after they were all used up?"

"I know that, I mean..."

Leng Ruolan pointed at the pride of lions.

"What if they realize they're not fighting over the steak but just plain brawling?"

Some of the lions in the pride have already realized what's happening.

One second it was frantically tearing at the hind legs of its own kind, the next second it suddenly realized what was happening and froze on the spot.

Who am I? Where am I? What am I supposed to do?

Why am I biting my brother's leg?

Although the taste is indeed good.

But weren't we fighting over something much tastier before?

It's an absolutely exquisite delicacy that no creature in the forbidden area can compare to!

Soon, more and more lions realized what was happening.

They glanced around and almost instantly spotted Ou Yun and Leng Ruolan sitting on the rock next to them.

Ou Yun chuckled, "It's all your fault, Captain Leng. The moment you arrived, they realized what was happening."

Leng Ruolan was stunned, then laughed in anger, not knowing how to reply for a moment—Damn it, I'm already being lenient by not complaining that you opened a golden supply box and got a golden, glowing steak that attracted the lions to fight each other and didn't chase you, and you're blaming me for that?!

Forget it, I'm a good woman and I don't argue with men.

Leng Ruolan had already seen a lion switch from its dazed state to its battle form, and she stood up as well. "Boss, what are the instructions?"

The European leader waved his hand, "No rush, let's play with them for a bit."

Leng Ruolan asked, "What are you playing? Are you going to let them play you, let them play you, let them play you?"

Ou Yun pulled her aside, saying, "Sit down first. I feel pressured if you stand."

"well……"

Leng Ruolan sat down as well.

At the same time, they saw one, two, and three lions charging toward them like starving ghosts.

Yes, it's true that even though I didn't get to eat any meat, I was still hungry, which brought me back to my senses!

"Brother, if I die like this, I will definitely go to the King of Hell to complain."

"Go ahead and do as you please. Who knows who the real King Yama is, me or the King Yama himself?"

"???"

A lion had already run up to them.

It has vertical pupils as red as agate, a small and exquisite blood-red mouth, and crystal-clear serrated teeth.

All Ou Yun had in his hand was a large, drool-covered steak.

I held the bag in one hand and was about to throw it when I realized it was a bit heavy and it was quite difficult to throw it with one hand.

So he handed the meat to Leng Ruolan.

"Captain Leng, it's up to you."

"..."

Leng Ruolan looked at her hand covered in drool.

me……

I will endure!

Leng Ruolan pinched her nose with one hand and tore the meat into the air like a frisbee with the other.

The ferocious-looking lion ran up to the two of them.

With a sudden push from its two hind legs, it raised its front paws and leaped high into the air.

"Awoo!"

He took a bite of the steak and ran away.

"..."

For a few seconds, all the lions fell silent, their eyes fixed on the lion that had stolen the steak.

"Roar—roar!"

The pride of lions reverted to their irrational state and went berserk again, launching another fierce battle to defend their steaks.
