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

Leng Ruolan then asked Chen Hao, "Can you understand it?"

Chen Hao held the sheepskin blueprint and pondered it for a long time before shaking his head.

"I have a vague understanding of it."

"..."

Ou Yunxin said, "It's rare to receive such a great reward, yet no one seems to understand it."

However, Chen Hao thought it wasn't that simple. "Since we defeated such an outrageous monster, the reward must be just as outrageous as the monster itself..."

Chen Hao stroked his chin. "I probably can't succeed by myself. We need to brainstorm together."

Leng Ruolan said "Oh," and then said, "I'll write a letter and have Green Bean send it to those people in Pakistan."

Ou Yun also thought of this, "Why not just call those guys from Xiong Guo too? More people means more work."

"Alright."

Leng Ruolan smiled and said, "I'll leave this matter to Nanbei."

Nanbei, who was licking his bald patch, heard the older guys mention him and looked up in confusion, but still meowed.

*

Calling for reinforcements is easy. Nanbei is the king of lynxes, and there are countless lynxes in these mountains.

That afternoon, the lynxes that had previously offered tribute to the camp all arrived, numbering about a dozen.

Ou Yun and his companions wrote more than a dozen letters using charcoal and rags, and distributed them to the lynxes one by one.

"Oh dear, we can find the people from Pakistan, but I wonder if we can find the people from Xiong Kingdom."

Chen Hao watched as Leng Ruolan held a mobilization meeting for the lynxes, and stood aside talking to Ou Yun.

"It's alright, it's just scent tracking. These Hakimi guys are professionals."

Ou Yun laughed and said, "I'm more worried about whether they can understand whether the letter was given by us."

Chen Hao, however, said there was no need to worry about that, "We're probably the only ones in the entire forbidden area who can get wild beasts to carry messages..."

"Oh...that seems so."

*

An hour later, the lynxes, with letters hanging around their necks, set off in different directions.

The lynxes were incredibly fast, disappearing into the grass in a flash.

However, to Europe's surprise, the Xiong Kingdom people, whom they initially thought would arrive last, turned out to be the first to arrive—

"Big brother! We're coming!!"

People from the Bear Kingdom appeared at the foot of the mountain, speaking with a familiar accent—even though the mountain had almost completely collapsed.

The three of them turned their heads in unison to look in the direction from which the sound came.

An SUV was bumping down the mountain road, and a strong arm was sticking out of the window, waving vigorously at them.

Who else could it be but Alexander?

The three from the Bear Kingdom got off the car at lightning speed and, after a brief reunion with the three from the Dragon Kingdom, got down to business.

Ou Yun exclaimed, "Wow, this car still has gas? It's been so long!"

Alexander sighed, "We were all reluctant to leave, but we rushed over because we saw something terrible had happened to our brother. We didn't expect to run into Big Cat, who was delivering a message to our brother, on the way. What a coincidence..."

The blond lynx that delivered the message meowed behind Alexander, and Chen Hao dug out a bear paw from the underground warehouse and threw it to him.

The yellow-haired lynx jumped up and snatched it in its mouth, then rubbed against Nanbei before hopping away.

Ivan was surveying the Dragon Kingdom camp—good heavens, this was no longer a camp at all; it was completely different from when they left!

Maxim was also shocked. "This monster... is it really that terrifying?"

At that time, they were quite far apart, separated by several mountain peaks.

Even so, they were almost hit by the bursts of flames and the shockwaves of the explosion.

Fortunately, they escaped by hiding in the depression.

And after going through all of this.

For some reason, they subconsciously thought of the Dragon Kingdom's elder brother.

"Something must have happened to my older brother and the others!"

"Yeah, only the eldest brother could explode about something this outrageous."

"Uh, is this some kind of forbidden zone unspoken rule...?"

"What used to be an unspoken rule is now an explicit rule."

"That's true."

So the three of them waited until the explosion and flames subsided before heading towards the Dragon Kingdom camp.

Just then, they encountered a lynx that came to deliver a message, which made them quicken their pace and hurry towards their elder brother.

The car was piled high with goods.

Ivan considered that with such a large-scale energy explosion, the camp must have suffered significant damage and be missing many supplies.

So they simply brought all their equipment, just like last time, to help their older brother rebuild the camp!

After a friendly conversation, the pressure of rebuilding the camp was instantly relieved.

Ivan had already run to the edge of the crater and was looking down, exclaiming in amazement, "It's so big! How did you manage to destroy it? Bro, did you get a new weapon?"

"That's right, a new weapon."

Leng Ruolan flexed her wrist. "Use this."

"???"

"Oh, it's not all about fists. My older brother is providing support from a distance."

"Remote assistance...what does that mean?"

"Well—"

Ou Yun hesitated for a moment, then said, "It's not easy to explain, but basically we used a rather special method to enhance Leng's abilities, allowing her to confront that monster head-on."

"A special method..."

Head-on confrontation...

Are they filming tokusatsu here...?

Alexander nodded as if he understood, but his expression clearly showed he still didn't get it.

But after all, I've known my older brother for so long, and it's not like I've just been wondering about his affairs for a while now.

"So, how can we help?"

He patted his chest. "We brought a lot of things this time, originally intending to replenish your supplies. But seeing the current situation, it seems we should help you rebuild your camp first, shall we?"

Ou Yun didn't stand on ceremony and chuckled twice, "That's exactly what I was thinking."

Ivan pushed the cart over, and Maxim began to clear away the vines.

The handcart also contained several large bundles of processed vines, several sacks of wild fruit, and some simple tools.

Upon seeing that these tools were clearly made by Pakistan, Chen Hao asked a few more questions out of curiosity.

Alexander said yes, and laughed, "These vines are what those three from Pakistan taught us to deal with last time. We met them on the road, and they told us to come over first."

Hassan from Pakistan was nearby—Hassan and his group were always very vigilant, and they sensed something was wrong when the monster appeared.

Only after the monster disappeared and they encountered Alexander and his group did they learn that something had happened in the Dragon Kingdom.

Alexander said that these people would come to help as soon as they finished what they were doing.

"Okay, either way is fine."

Ou Yun waved his hand, "Now that everyone's here, let's take stock of what's left and then start rebuilding."

The arrival of the Xiong Kingdom people immediately enlivened the scene.

Chen Hao took out the book "Tales of Forbidden Lands," turned to a blank page, and began to record the losses suffered by the camp.

The cabin—completely destroyed.

The watchtower was completely destroyed.

The warehouse collapsed, but some of the stored supplies should still be salvageable.

The wall is mostly damaged, but the main structure is still intact and can be repaired.

The rocket launcher muzzle—three were melted down, and only one was still usable.

Leng Ruolan went to inspect the underground meat cellar.

Although the ground was scorched by the flames, the underground part was mostly undamaged because it was buried deep.

She opened the cellar lid, confirmed that the meat inside was still good, and turned back to give Ou Yun a thumbs up.

Ou Yun breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as the meat (meat) is still there, the basic foundation is stable.

The next step is reconstruction.
