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

then.

When Chen Hao and Leng Ruolan arrived at the scene, they were greeted by a scene that could be described as a world-famous painting—

The bear king's corpse lay at the foot of the mountain, its head smashed open, utterly dead.

Ou Yun sat on the bear's belly, his legs dangling in the air, slowly chewing a piece of jerky, looking completely relaxed and content.

Nanbei lay beside him, covered in dirt, her ears drooping, with an expression that said, "I just got beaten up, but I don't want to talk about it."

The white fox lay sprawled on the grass not far away, its tongue lolling out from its mouth, still dizzy.

Beside the bear king's corpse, the three Pakistani contestants stood with their heads tilted back, still like human wooden stakes, their movements perfectly synchronized, as if they were visiting something extraordinary.

Upon seeing the two, Ou Yun immediately waved the dried meat in his hand at them, "Yo, you're here!"

His tone was so flat, as if he were just saying the weather was nice today.

Leng Ruolan looked at the bear king's corpse, then at Ou Yun.

I looked at the bear king's corpse, and then at the white fox that was still unconscious.

Look left, look right, look up, look down.

"Big brother."

She took a deep breath. "I only have one question."

"ask."

"Is it comfortable to be carried like a princess?"

"..."

Ou Yun almost choked to death on dried meat.

Chen Hao suppressed a laugh.

While suppressing a laugh, he walked towards the bear king and circled its corpse.

Goodness gracious, this head has been opened up so much it's practically turned into tofu pudding; you can't even tell what it originally was!

Leng Ruolan did notice Nanbei.

The lynx looked listless, its ears drooping. Even when it saw her coming, it only weakly raised the tip of its tail.

"What's wrong?"

Leng Ruolan scratched Nanbei's chin. "Who bullied you?"

Nanbei glanced sideways in the direction of the white fox and let out a howl.

Leng Ruolan followed its gaze and chuckled.

"I understand, I understand. You failed to win his favor, right?"

Nanbei meowed again and buried its face in its paws.

At this moment, the white fox finally woke up slowly.

It sniffed, then suddenly opened its eyes and leaped up with a somersault.

It looked around and saw that Ou Yun was sitting safely on the bear's belly, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he saw Nanbei, and his expression instantly became subtle.

The white fox straightened its fur, shook off the dust, and then walked gracefully to Ou Yun.

Then it stood upright on its two hind legs, put its two front paws behind its back, and nodded slightly.

So elegant, so incredibly elegant!

Then, it pulled out a wildflower from somewhere, held it in its mouth, and looked at Ou Yun with deep affection.

European Express: ...

"..."

Leng Ruolan turned to Chen Hao expressionlessly.

"Am I hallucinating? Why am I seeing a fox flirting with my older brother?"

Chen Hao pushed up his glasses with his middle finger. "Calm down, Captain Leng, calm down. We've been hanging out with our boss in this restricted area for so long, what outrageous things haven't we seen?"

Leng Ruolan sighed, "I've seen outrageous things, but I've never seen anything this outrageous."

The chat in the Dragon Kingdom's live stream was in an uproar:

"Haha, I screenshotted Cold Team's expression! Best of the year!"

White Fox: Surprised? Unexpected? Did you miss me?!

"North and South, you better stand up for yourself! Your position is about to be taken away!"

The three Pakistani soldiers finally recovered from the shock.

Hassan walked up to EuroWay, his voice trembling:

"Brother Ouyun, that cannonball you just fired..."

Ou Yun knew he was going to ask, "Oh, that one? It was from the gold supply crate."

"Oh... a golden supply crate?"

Haishan's eyes widened. "It's that...that..."

"Yes, that one."

"You just opened it like that?"

"Otherwise what?"

Ou Yun looked completely at ease, and yawned as he said, "Wasn't it about to charge at us?"

Farhan tilted his head back and let out a breath that reached his heels. "For us, being able to get a decent machete is already a blessing from our ancestors."

"Dude, are you really that unlucky?"

"That's just how it is."

Leng Ruolan added detachedly from the side, "It's okay, you'll get used to it. We're all used to it."

Chen Hao had already begun to carefully examine the bear king's corpse.

Although the bear's head was blown up in a spectacular fashion, its fur was still relatively intact.

He patted the bear skin, then turned to Ou Yun and shouted, "Brother! This bear skin can be skinned; we can make several bearskin coats when we get back!"

"Okay."

Ou Yun jumped off the bear's belly.

"But we'll talk about it when we get back. We need to handle this bear skin carefully and not ruin it."

Okay, so here's the question.

This bear king must weigh at least several tons. How are we going to move it?

Several people circled around the bear king.

Leng Ruolan looked at Chen Hao, Chen Hao looked at Leng Ruolan, and then the two of them looked at Ou Yun at the same time.

"What, are you all looking at me? Do you think I can carry it back by hand?"

Ou Yun shrugged, "Don't we have transportation?"

"The car can't get in."

Leng Ruolan looked around and said, "The trees here are too dense; off-road vehicles can't get here."

"Well……"

The group of people immediately fell into deep thought.

At this point, Hassan spoke up: "Um, we can help you transport it back...?"

Ou Yun looked at him: "Do you have a solution?"

Hassan nodded: "Our camp has special vine rigging for dragging heavy objects. We made it ourselves, and it's very sturdy! And with the three of us and the three of you, six people working together should be able to pull it."

"And what about your camp over there—"

"It's okay."

Hassan waved his hand.

"Our camp isn't too far from here. We'll go get the vines and come back. We should be able to get the bear to your camp's vicinity before dark."

"However, you'll have to rely on your car to figure out how to get to the rest of the way."

Ou Yun thought for a moment, "Okay, then I'll leave it to you."

"No trouble at all."

Hassan's eyes were clear, and his tone was earnest. "You saved the three of our lives. It's nothing, just the least I could do!"

And so the action plan was decided.

The three Pakistani soldiers returned to their camp to retrieve the vines, while the three European soldiers first cleared the surrounding battlefield—mainly to check if there were any other surviving mutated black bears.

Judging from the situation, they've probably all run away by now.

They either ran away or they all died.

Meanwhile, both North and South finally recovered from the blows they had suffered.

It shook its fur and restarted.

It circled the bear king's corpse several times, sniffing it every now and then.

Then it dug a hole in the ground with its paws, rolled around in it twice, as if marking it: This bear also deserves some credit!

The white fox sat gracefully to one side, looking at Ou Yun with an almost loving gaze.

"..."

I'm speechless after seeing this.
