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

"..."

Whether something has really happened or not, it's still uncertain.

Leng Ruolan glanced in the direction Chen Hao was pointing.

Let's go!

She then plunged headfirst into the bushes.

Chen Hao took a deep breath and forced himself to follow.

*

"Do you want to eat this?"

"..."

"What about this one?"

"..."

"Hey, eat more, so I don't have to dig a hole to bury you."

"..."

At this time, Europe...

With no worries about food and drink, they started wasting their time.

A cow, a cow with hard, muscular bodies that bullets can't penetrate.

A cow that was pushed off a cliff by logs and boulders, but not only escaped unharmed, it was able to return to the same spot.

"So you're a mutant too, right?"

Ou Yun smiled and patted the cow.

"I'm not eating meat for free, you have to do me a favor too, let's reciprocate!"

"..."

The ox didn't speak, but it didn't leave either.

It simply lay on the ground, quietly eating its meat, its body bulging with muscles.

It eats whatever you feed it.

From plastic bottles to leftover animal bones.

While eating, he kept glancing at Europe.

Eyes don't move, mouth does.

While cleaning his sniper rifle, Ou Yun asked, "By the way, do you know how to farm?"

They didn't care whether the cow spoke or not.

"If you know how to farm, that would be even better. Then I can go out and see if there are any wild vegetables..."

But he doesn't seem to know how to grow vegetables...

Moreover, not all fields can be plowed by oxen...

And this isn't just any ordinary cow...

"never mind."

Besides being used for plowing fields, oxen can also be ridden.

Ou Yun leaned against this cow, and wow, he felt quite safe.

Well, I've got nothing better to do anyway.

Why don't we see if we can train this cow?

Just like training a dog, it's a simple and brutal food incentive.

As soon as Ou Yun stood up, he took a long tree branch in his left hand and a piece of meat in his right.

"Come here!

O used a tree branch to symbolically tap the ground.

"..."

The ox actually glanced at him—or rather, its gaze remained fixed on him the entire time.

The cow glanced at the branch that Ou Yun was waving around in his hand, and slowly stood up.

Despite its massive size, it remained perfectly still and steady as it moved toward Europe.

"...Okay, stop!"

Listen to Europe's advice, and it stopped.

Then his gaze shifted from Ou Yun's face to Ou Yun's hand.

Ou Yun threw the meat at its face.

The cow tilted its head back and caught it, chewing and chewing.

Ou Yun immediately laughed and vigorously patted the bull's head, which was as hard as iron.

"Great!"

"..."

*

So the next day.

at the foot of the mountain.

To be precise, it was at the bottom of a cliff—

The European Union shaved off the cliffs of the Mediterranean, leaving only the walls.

"So, therefore..."

"This...this is the mountain we saw earlier, the landslide, right?"

Chen Hao was covered in sweat and panting heavily.

He leaned against the tree, looking up at what was in front of him.

The cliff is so high that you can't see the top at all—because there's a thin mist in between.

Then the ground was covered with broken branches, scattered everywhere, even more scattered than in the evening.

Ever since Leng Ruolan told them to increase their speed several times, they started traveling non-stop.

We only took a break to replenish our energy...

If they hadn't prepared water in advance, they probably would have died of thirst on the way there.

Although I've finished drinking it now, I'm still feeling very thirsty.

"A landslide..."

Leng Ruolan looked tired as she examined the large stain on the ground.

There was bloodstains, quite a lot, and some fabric that looked like it had been torn, but it was a common material and we couldn't determine any useful information from it.

The expected corpse did not appear, but there were many messy footprints.

Leng Ruolan narrowed her eyes.

The footprints were scattered, some deep and some shallow, suggesting an injury.

But upon closer inspection, Leng Ruolan discovered that there were more than one person's footprints.

And it looks like... one person is helping another person walk.

"Two people..."

It seems unlikely to be one of their own teammates.

Leng Ruolan breathed a slight sigh of relief.

There are only three athletes in a country. Now that the other two are here, only the one named Ou Yun is left.

Then, judging from the footprints, since someone was seriously injured—if these two were a team from two different countries, the one with minor injuries would most likely have abandoned the one with serious injuries.

After all, in this kind of environment, without any support, being seriously injured is not much different from dying directly.

Therefore, it is very likely that these two are teammates.

Now it depends on which country it is from.

But clearly, athletes from any country are enemies.

"Looks like...boot footprints?"

Chen Hao, who had finally caught his breath, also came over.

Leng Ruolan remained silent, squatting down to carefully examine the footprints.

"This person must be very tall."

Leng Ruolan's eyes sharpened.

Chen Hao said "Oh," and then it's not the Japanese and Korean players.

"It could be the Bear Country or the Beautiful Country... never mind, it doesn't matter."

Leng Ruolan looked in the direction where the footprints disappeared.

Chen Hao also looked on, "Fell from such a height and still not dead? That's a strong will to survive."

"It might not have fallen directly. It's possible it hit a tree, and then the tree broke..."

As she spoke, Leng Ruolan prepared to chase after them again.

"They might not have gone far. Let's go check it out."

*

forest.

As the section with the richest resources, many players felt very lucky to land in this location for the first time.

But some people felt extremely unlucky.

For example, the players from the country with small days.

"Damn it, one died on the first day, and another one died yesterday..."

Taro Abiko, a contestant from Japan, leaned against a tree, dressed in rags, with a thick beard and a fierce look in his eyes.

But his small stature made him look somewhat comical, like a helpless, furious groundhog.

"Don't be upset yet. As long as we can survive, our country will not be punished."

Another player, Mitarai Machi, had just returned from fetching water from the stream. Seeing his teammate looking completely useless, he had to offer a few words of comfort.

"Our new teammates won't be arriving until tomorrow... Right now, it's just the two of us, and I'm afraid things are going to turn out badly."

Dalang stood up and spat out a mouthful of saliva.

"There's no other way. Just try to live."

Maji, on the other hand, seemed calm, after all, he had come in as a supplementary player.

As a supplementary player, they still have a slight advantage over those who entered for the first time—

It was information he obtained while he was still in the real world.

"The player currently recognized as number one is from China."

Maji calmly analyzed the situation while drinking water.

"He's very strong; he killed a black panther as soon as he entered this place..."

"Not to mention that they also killed a black bear and a red python later on."

"Even if there's just one of these beasts, with the two of us and our two dead teammates, we probably wouldn't be able to take it down."
