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

"..."

Leng Ruolan thought to herself, "Good heavens, so all these people have been living in fear and trepidation here every day, and this person doesn't even know what they look like!"

Chen Hao was more excited; he went up and gave Ou Yun a bear hug.

"Teammates! We've finally met!"

"Do you know how far we traveled to find you...?"

"Hey teammate, teammate, how are you?"

"Are you eating well? Are you sleeping well?"

"You look even fatter than in the photos!"

"..."

The three of them are reunited here.

On the other side, the lone, solitary buddy, who was hiding in a tree, was so angry he was almost about to bite the tree trunk.

"damn it……"

Maji climbed down from the tree and threw a punch at the trunk in a fit of impotent rage.

Why is this happening!

The three of them were reunited!

No, why didn't those hyenas kill those two people?

What the hell is this?

What was that thing that fell from the sky?

Is it awesome?

No, no, no, a pack of hyenas can't beat a bull, can they?

Damn it...

My buddy was so angry his head was practically steaming.

I hate it so much! But I still have to live on...!

Currently, three athletes from the Little Days Country have died...

Perhaps the real world has already punished them!

He absolutely has to hold on!

Maji glared venomously at the three contestants who had reunited not far away before turning and leaving.

however.

In the instant he turned his head.

A fishy smell wafted over me—

A hyena, without him even noticing, had already appeared in front of him.

The hyena was less than half a meter away, almost touching his face.

She stared straight at him.

His face was still stained with blood.

He knew this; it was the blood that splattered after the hyena leader was crushed to death by the bull—a lot of it had splattered on the hyena's face at the time.

Now, the hyena reappeared before him like a ghost.

"..."

Maggie's body instinctively held its breath for a split second, as if doing so would prevent her from being detected by danger—

The hyena looked at him and tilted its head.

He looked him up, down, left, and right.

They seem to be wondering.

That's strange, it clearly didn't catch up before, did it?

How did I end up here again?

This is truly bizarre!

Several more howls came from behind it, as if urging it on.

The hyena snorted and said, "Never mind, I can't be bothered to think about it."

He glanced at his best friend in front of him.

This one is a bit short, but it'll do!

It opened its blood-red maw and bit down on Machi's throat.

"Ugh—"

Maji's scream pierced through the bushes and reached the foreheads of the three Dragon Kingdom members.

"Oh no, those hyenas haven't left yet!"

Chen Hao jumped in surprise and quickly looked around. "Let's hurry up and leave!"

Ou Yun was even more stunned, "What?! There are hyenas around here?!"

Leng Ruolan had already grabbed her entrenching tool and was ready for action. "It's alright, we can leave here now."

He then patted Ou Yun on the shoulder, asking, "Your camp is around here, right?"

Ou Yun said he was there.

Leng Ruolan said, "Then hurry up and lead the way."

Ou Yun said "Oh," and added, "Wait a minute."

Then he took a piece of meat out of his pocket and pointed it at the cow.

"Hey! Let's go!"

The cow, who had just been ignoring everyone, suddenly brightened up.

It came towards Ouyun while wagging its tail.

Ou Yun stuffed the meat into the cow's mouth.

"Alright, let's go!"

Turning around, I was stunned to see my two teammates.

"Oh, what's wrong?"

"Well……"

Chen Hao glanced at Leng Ruolan subconsciously.

Wait, what's going on? I've never seen this before!

Are people raising cattle in a forbidden area of ​​the wilderness?

Let alone a forbidden wilderness, even a wilderness.

You're barely surviving, how come you've started keeping pets?

Besides, is this the kind of pet a human can keep?!

Some contestants live a life worse than pets!

Chen Hao frantically requested in-team voice chat from Leng Ruolan.

The man didn't look at him; his gaze was fixed on Niu and Ou Yun.

"Do you raise this cow?"

"Barely."

Ou Yun thought to himself, "I feed it three meals a day, how can that not be considered raising it?"

Leng Ruolan was stunned for a moment. "No way, this guy's skin is so tough, even bullets can't penetrate it!"

"Yes, that's right, I've tried it myself."

Ou Yun drew a pistol from his waist and shrugged.

"But I have no choice, I can't get rid of them, so I can only keep them here."

Then he took out another piece of meat and waved it at the cow.

The ox bellowed and followed closely behind Ou Yun, displaying a deep bond between master and servant.

"Fortunately, this guy is fairly obedient."

Ou Yun chuckled.

"..."

Even Leng Ruolan was speechless.

obedient?

Listen to me... This is a cow from the forbidden wilderness, a wild beast that is completely beyond human common sense, yet it obeys me?

Is this guy living in a dream?

No, if they hadn't listened to him, would that cow have come to save them?

Is it just a coincidence?

She has faced countless life-or-death situations, but she has never believed in coincidences.

Wait, on another note—

Leng Ruolan carefully examined Ou Yun.

This guy's physique and demeanor... are completely different from the photos of his teammates who teleported them from the forbidden area at the beginning!

The photo shows him to be just an ordinary, burly man.

Now, this guy's demeanor...

Leng Ruolan was shocked.

He's an incredibly strong and imposing man!

Ou Yun was a little embarrassed. "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

No, there's nothing on your face.

Leng Ruolan shook her head.

This guy's got something.

"Let's go back to camp first."

Since I'm the one who's powerful, I don't need to be afraid of those hyenas.

Leng Ruolan simply put away the entrenching tool.

*

The three returned to the camp.

On the way, the system notified the player that "Little Days" had died:

[The list of the dead is now being published.]

[Indian athlete Chunja Lakitzde was attacked by a pack of wild animals and has been confirmed dead.]

[Korean athlete Park Jin-sung wandered into a wild animal's den and has been confirmed dead.]

【…】

【…】

[Taro Abiko, a Japanese athlete, was attacked by a wild animal and has been confirmed dead.]

[Kenjin Machi, a Japanese athlete, was attacked by a wild animal and has been confirmed dead.]

The Wilderness Forbidden Zone has been open for more than half a month now, and there have been more death notices.

I used to listen to Ou Yun every day, and at first I was deeply moved, but now it's like listening to someone sharpening scissors or knives—I feel nothing.

Leng Ruolan and Chen Hao, upon hearing the announcement, remarked, "What, you two are just being lazy?"

"Yeah, I remember one of them ran away? Am I mistaken?"

Chen Hao was too lazy to even think about it. "Never mind, one or two are all the same."

"Too."

As they spoke, the three arrived at the European Games camp.

Ou Yun even went so far as to say, "Hey, I don't have much experience in wilderness survival, so please don't mind."

"It's alright, it's alright. Just being alive is already amazing."

The two men responded and looked up at the camp.

Good heavens—

On the left are two rows of shelves, one with bear skins and the other with leopard skins.

On the right are three rows of shelves: one for bear meat, one for black leopard meat, and one for red python meat.

Next to it is a tent, a super high-end tent. If Bear Grylls came, he would definitely give it a thumbs up.

In the middle was a campfire, with a pot on top, and something was cooking in the pot, smelling incredibly delicious.

Next to it were several bottles of Nongfu Spring mineral water.

The cow came from behind, moving with practiced ease, as if it were returning home. It lay down and went to sleep in a clearly constructed grass hut next to the tent.

Leng Ruolan: ...

Chen Hao: ...

You call this wilderness survival?

You've come here to camp?!
