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

Taro had heard some of what Maji had said before.

He survived a single death, but his teammates have already been replaced twice.

One died from a fall, and another died from eating a poisonous mushroom.

Hopefully, this person can hold on a little longer.

Taro had heard these details from his two previous teammates, but this was the latest version—

A player from China named Ou Yun killed a black bear and multiplied it ten thousand times in the real world.

When Maji heard the news, he thought he was living in a dream.

Black bear?

In the real world, it would take a dozen fully armed people to kill a black bear.

Now one person has killed him?

It also triggered a delivery?

Is that correct?

But it was okay, Taro quickly got over it.

None of this matters.

Taro, somewhat impatient, flung his hand away.

"The important thing is, that guy has an overpowered skill: he can summon pure water indefinitely..."

"That's right, the water source..."

Maji stared at the water he had just fetched from the stream.

They didn't have any tools to hold water, so boiling for disinfection was out of the question.

The current filtration is just the most basic filtration – the water is the same before filtration and the same after filtration.

"The good news is, however, that he is alone now."

"If we were to encounter him, it would be a piece of cake for us to take on two against one."

"He can summon pure water indefinitely, so all we need to do is tie him up and treat him like a dog."

"That way, we'll have unlimited water resources. If we ever have the chance to bring him back to the real world... hehe."

Maji's thinking was very simple.

It's too much trouble for them to develop on their own.

It's really troublesome. Collecting resources is already a lot of work, and then you have to manage it too.

Not to mention that they are only half-baked at wilderness survival; it's a miracle that Taro has survived this long.

In that case, why not just steal from someone else?

He'd seen this Chinese player named Ou Yun in the Chinese livestream before.

So what if you were just a little lucky?

From the beginning until now, what has he accomplished on his own?

Can luck feed you?

In a place like this, the slightest relaxation could mean certain death.

That guy didn't run into them.

Otherwise, they would be the ones with unlimited access to water resources right now!

"It's fine if we don't encounter him. If there are players from other countries, we can handle them just the same."

Although Taro looked resentful, he didn't really have any objection to what Machi said.

After all, the tools they have right now are for stealing other players' items!

As for which country it is from...

Oh dear, there were so many contestants who tried to snag the prizes, I can't even remember them all anymore.

Maggie nodded. "Alright, let's go see what we can find from the surrounding traps."

Taro got up, and the two men, their faces grim, seemed to be discussing something. They left the camp carrying torches.

Outside the camp.

Two people lurking in the bushes—

Did you hear me?

"I heard you clearly."

"Did you understand?"

"no."

Leng Ruolan and Chen Hao.

You look at me, I look at you.

They looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Why are you looking at me? I don't understand Japanese either," Leng Ruolan said coldly.

Chen Hao sighed, "Wait, shouldn't a special unit like yours... be able to speak a little bit of every language?"

"You're overthinking it."

Leng Ruolan smiled mysteriously.

"The orders I received most often were: kill anyone from the Little Days Kingdom you encounter, no matter what they say."

"..."

Chen Hao fell silent for a moment.

"So, are we going to carry out our mission now—?"

When I turned around again, Leng Ruolan was gone.

A familiar voice urged from ahead, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up!"

Chen Hao thought to himself, "I'll just consider this as ridding the people of a scourge."

They did indeed follow those footprints.

He and Leng Ruolan had both confirmed that the owner of the footprints was very tall, and definitely not a Chinese person.

However, they lost track of them, and the footprints disappeared into the grass.

Unexpectedly, even though the footprints were lost, there was still a new discovery!

then.

The two hid behind and quietly followed.

As for their own players tracking other players, Chinese viewers were more than supportive:

"Shh, sneak into the village, don't fire!"

"Great! I love scenes like this where people are hacking each other to pieces!"

"Oh dear, is it just my imagination? I feel like these two will be joining up with the Lucky Guy soon!"

"That's great news! Everyone will soon be living a better life!"

"Hilarious, isn't this progress a bit too fast?"

"Otherwise, how could it be said to be the will of Heaven?"

Everyone was having a great time discussing it, completely oblivious to the fact that their own player harbored ill intentions towards the other players.

Viewers from other countries, of course, couldn't stand it anymore:

"Hey! Your contestants are clearly targeting our contestants! They're obviously up to no good!"

"You guys actually have the nerve to discuss other things? Have you no humanity at all?!"

"The people are just like the athletes!"

"..."

The audience in China laughed as soon as they saw it:

"They've gone too far, yet they're being accused of having ill intentions by the common people? They're turning against the Heavenly Gang!"

"Look, he gets upset when he's being messed with; he's the worst kind of animal ever!"

"Yeah, look at your dad, it's a miracle he's still alive. You guys better surpass him, hahaha!"

"..."

The two young players went to check the traps.

Judging from the location of the trap and the results, these two guys are pretty good at it.

There were rabbits, squirrels, and two mice in the trap.

Although they are all small animals, it's good that the two of them aren't very tall, so this is enough for them to eat.

Even Chen Hao couldn't help but exclaim, "This is all the food we have for a day? It's not even as good as what we ate in a whole day..."

Leng Ruolan didn't reply; she was clutching a military dagger—the one she'd picked up while looting a bag on the street. She stared motionlessly at the two small figures.

Taro and Machi were so happy to see the huge harvest from the trap that they were dancing around with joy, completely unaware of their surroundings.

"Hey, this stuff should last us two days, right?"

"No, we still have some wild fruit, and this meat will last us seven days."

"Seven days it is! We're sure we can catch even more tomorrow!"

"..."

The two packed up and were about to head back.

Chen Hao then whispered, "You go ahead, I'll cheer you on from behind."

Leng Ruolan didn't move. "Now is not the time."

"Is now not the right time?"

Leng Ruolan looked around, her eyes more serious than ever before.

"Look at the ground, besides us, there are other creatures!"

"What...!"

Chen Hao was startled and quickly looked down.

really!

The ground was wet, and the footprints were very obvious.

Besides the few human footprints, there were also several... what appeared to be canine footprints.

Leng Ruolan immediately lowered Chen Hao's shoulder.

Shh...it's a hyena.

She had already seen several furry heads flash by.

It was obvious that this was a premeditated ambush.

Hyena packs are very intelligent... plus this is a forbidden wilderness.

They probably look down on what's in the traps these days, so they're just waiting here for prey.

They probably only wanted to catch the owner of the trap, but they didn't expect the two of them to walk right into it.

Leng Ruolan immediately rubbed her forehead.

So now we're surrounded and trapped like dumplings by a pack of hyenas!

"..."

Chen Hao was immediately horrified.

Good heavens, a hyena.

This thing might be relatively ordinary when it's alone, but it lives in groups!

They are very good at fighting in groups, and even in coordinated group fights.

Lions and tigers are nothing but prey to be slaughtered in front of a pack of hyenas.

Not to mention the two skinny, scrawny people in front of us.

Even...the two of them might be in danger!
