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

The moment they pressed the button, the two subconsciously looked around.

"..."

"..."

Calm and peaceful, nothing happened, and life was good.

Nothing's wrong!

The two looked at each other.

"Nothing happened?"

"Then why can't I press it?"

"Well……"

The two of them subconsciously shifted their gaze to the button.

Ou Yun paused for a moment.

"Click-click-click—"

I used both hands together and pressed down hard dozens of times.

Leng Ruolan was shocked. "No, why are you pressing it so many times?!"

"Isn't there no reaction at all?"

"What if there's a delay?"

"Delay?"

While looking into Leng Ruolan's eyes, Ou Yun continued to frantically press the buttons on his phone.

Click click click click click—

"That latency is a bit high."

"ha……"

As she spoke, Leng Ruolan looked around again.

Ten minutes later.

The moon is very bright.

Even the night breeze is bright.

The grass is very green.

Nothing happened.

"..."

Even Leng Ruolan was uncertain now.

"Forget it, it's probably just a piece of junk."

Leng Ruolan thought to herself, "Damn it, am I really that unlucky?"

But this thing was discovered by Europe, and they won't even give me a grenade?!

Sigh, another mentally exhausting day...

Then there was a "crack" sound.

In Ou Yun's hand, the large red button that had been frantically pressed instantly cracked and shattered into two pieces.

It turned into dust and scattered.

Ou Yun looked at the button ash in his hand: "..."

Looking at Leng Ruolan, who was observing Ou Yun, she thought, "..."

A night breeze blew, ruffling their bangs.

Ou Yun suddenly stretched out his right hand and rubbed his eyes.

Sand got in my eye...

Nothing happened.

This rare scene was finally captured by the American viewers who were lying in wait in the Dragon Kingdom's live stream:

"Ha! Ha! Ha! I knew it! Heaven has eyes! Heaven has eyes!"

"See? I knew it! Luck can't put food on the table! Your good days are over!"

"Even purple supply crates yield this kind of garbage? I think the heavens are going to destroy your Dragon Kingdom."

"Surrender, Dragon Kingdom! Your players are no longer up to par!"

"This time, the forbidden area is on our side! Say goodbye to your entire clan!"

The audience from China burst into laughter in anger upon seeing this:

"Damn it, those American scum are here again."

"No, how did you come to the misconception that our Dragon Kingdom's backwardness means yours can progress?"

"You **** beautiful country, I **** you ****!!"

The barrage of comments reignited the battle to protect the clan.

*

The two stared at the button for a long time.

Leng Ruolan wondered why this was going to drag on; it was probably just a con artist trying to fool people.

"Forget it, let's get down to business."

"Alright."

Ou washed his hands with water and left, one after the other, with Leng Ruolan.

"By the way, Captain Leng, do you really think the forbidden area would provide such a boring button?"

"Hard to say."

"Haha, it can't be some kind of doomsday detonation button, can it?"

"That's impossible. If there were such a terrifying button, how could you have discovered it so easily and let us activate it?"

"That's true, hahaha!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

*

night, deeper.

Tonight, I'm destined to have a sleepless night.

[Congratulations to the Dragon Kingdom for successfully defeating the mutated porcupine!]

[10,000x Increase in Deployment: Mutant Porcupine!]

[The Chinese athlete has earned 20 points in the European Games.]

[Personal accumulated points: 201.]

[Currently, the Dragon Kingdom's accumulated points are: 383.]

【…】

"Tomorrow is the last day, isn't it?"

"Damn it, how come there's such a big difference?"

At the end of the settlement period, all players can see the settlement rankings.

The United States remains in the top spot, with a score of 506.

Although their points are increasing, the US's are also rising.

Ou Yun couldn't help but curse, "Tsk, America is this awful no matter which world it is..."

Leng Ruolan felt the same way as Ou Yun, but she was more reserved:

"Okay, we have less than two days left. Let's go back and tell Chen Hao, get all the equipment, and bring two Xiongguo people. Then we'll go all over the mountains and kill all the beautiful Chinese people, how about that?"

As she spoke, she laughed sweetly, "That way, all their points will be ours. It seems unlikely that America will ever be able to turn things around..."

Ou Yun really thought about it seriously for a while—but still shook his head.

"Sigh, that's unrealistic. We don't even know their location. Wouldn't that be like searching for headless flies?"

"No, I'm better at tracking targets."

Leng Ruolan shrugged.

"Otherwise, how do you think I found you? And after searching so many times?"

"Oh……"

Ou Yun thought to himself, "Isn't that all thanks to my three good punches, like a farmer?"

"Is this the only porcupine around here?"

"Let's go for a walk around the area again."

"Chen Hao's traps have yielded quite a few results, I think we should set up a few traps too? Just for one use."

"That works too. Didn't we catch two contestants last time? They didn't score much... but they were practically as good as a mutated beast."

"Is it the Kingdom of the Sun Never Rises or the Kingdom of Gallic Rooster? Anyway, they don't have any good intentions, so let them be."

Chen Hao would have forgotten about it if Alexander hadn't brought it up.

After all, they've been in this forbidden area for so long, and they've been targeted countless times even before they had a camp...

It won't make a difference if we do it once or twice more.

As they spoke, the two began to prepare to set some traps in the vicinity.

All that could be seen was the distance.

"Boom..."

A muffled thud.

The two looked in the direction of the sound.

In the distance, far away, a burst of light faintly erupted.

You can also see birds startled and scattering.

"I guess the other players are doing the work."

"Judging from the noise, it might be a fire."

"Alright, let's get back to work."

After all, they often hear the sound of explosions.

Now that so much time has passed, it's quite normal for everyone to have a few high-explosive grenades, rocket launchers, mortars, and the like.

It's perfectly normal to use mortars to bombard wild boars.

It's quite normal to exchange fire with other competitors using rocket launchers.

The two lowered their heads and continued working.

"Boom..."

Another explosion was heard.

It seems a little closer.

The two looked again and saw another flame in the distance, which seemed to be a little bigger than the previous one.

Ou Yun remarked, "It seems everyone is under a lot of pressure right now, busy accumulating points."

Leng Ruolan agreed, "After all, those who are ranked last will be punished; those who don't have enough points will be eliminated on the spot."

Keep working.

"Boom..."

"Rumble..."

"Rumble..."

Neither of them looked up; one was whittling wood, the other was braiding rope.

He would occasionally utter a few words of complaint:

"Ugh! We should have just gotten what Brother Chen had made. Were we wasting our time for nothing?"

"I didn't expect there wouldn't be much profit to be made around here..."

"well……"

"well……"

At this time.

"Boom!"

The sound of the explosion seemed much closer.
