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

"Don't give up on treatment, Captain Leng!"

"Okay, okay, how about you two are teammates? Hahahaha!"

"Congratulations, Captain Leng, you've finally found the right way to use Lucky Guy."

"Team Cold: Watching the show.jpg"

Of course, an explosion, especially at night, is like setting off fireworks, making it very conspicuous.

Leng Ruolan and Ou Yun were both able to see it.

The American athletes, who were preparing to launch their operation from the nearby hilltop, could naturally see it as well.

"Captain, look over there!"

"What's wrong? It's just an explosion. You've been in this forbidden area for so many days and haven't seen an explosion before?"

"Something about this explosion feels off...?"

"Something's not right! It would be strange if there wasn't an explosion!"

Jones didn't care at all.

"The cleanup will end tomorrow, and those who don't meet the standards will be punished. This is proof of the hard work of the other contestants."

He wiped his gun as he spoke.

"Didn't we go through the same thing?"

"Don't forget, half of our weapons also come from other players."

not to mention.

It's just an explosion, isn't it?

Isn't this exactly what they're about to do?

Who knows, maybe the other players in the forbidden area are also preparing to gang up on other players to get revenge and accumulate points?

That's making a fuss over nothing.

The remaining two people, upon hearing this, also felt that it made sense.

Business comes first!

"Captain, when do we begin our operation?"

"I think it's about time, let's do it now."

"Yes, sir!"

Brown and Miller checked their equipment and set off with high spirits.

Suddenly, their communication panel flashed.

The government is requesting a call.

"Pretty punctual, huh?"

Jones smiled and opened the panel.

I was originally thinking of turning off the live stream—but then I thought better of it. Even if they find out, what can they do?

They can only obediently let me blow them away!

As soon as the panel opened, an urgent voice came from the other end:

"Cease the attack on the Dragon Kingdom's camp!"

"What did you say? Stop?"

Jones frowned and glanced at the panel. This was definitely a dialogue box from the government, wasn't it? Why were they being told to evacuate when they were practically at their doorstep? Were they out of their minds?

"That explosion was caused by the Chinese athletes! Get out of there immediately!"

The American liaison officer on the other end sounded very urgent, almost shouting a warning to Jones.

Jones frowned even more deeply upon hearing this. "A Chinese athlete did this? I didn't see any weapons disappear from their camp. Besides, how could such a large-scale explosion be the work of a mere Chinese athlete?"

"If you insist on arguing with me about this, fine, I admit it. It wasn't the Chinese player who did it—it was the explosive button that the Chinese player found in the purple supply crate that did it!!!"

The liaison officer on the other end of the line was suddenly given the microphone when the president's voice burst out.

"You two idiots! Use teleportation to escape now! Otherwise, it'll be too late!"

Jones almost thought he was hallucinating.

"Explosion button?"

"Yes! It's the button that randomly delays the explosion when pressed!! The Chinese man deliberately destroyed the button; his mind is dangerous... no, he's dangerous as a whole. He must have sensed something to do this..."

"Our beautiful nation can no longer afford another punishment that shatters its national destiny!"

"Did you hear me! Get out of that dangerous place right now!"

Brown and Miller, who were preparing to take action, naturally heard the president's words.

Both of them looked somewhat terrified and simultaneously turned to look in the direction of the explosion.

"boom!"

"BOOM!!"

This explosion.

Well, how should I put it?

It's like a fighter jet formation is bombing the ground—just bombing everything in sight.

They fried it however they wanted!

Even, if you look closely, the location of the explosion...

Wait a minute, were they this close when they were looking at it before?

"..."

"..."

"..."

The three of them fell silent.

Jones, in particular, stared in the direction of the explosion, his eyes wide open, almost bloodshot.

Could this really have been done by people from China?

Are the people of China really that terrifying?

He could believe they had four off-road vehicles, since these things were just a means of transportation in this place, and not all roads in the wilderness were suitable for driving; there were still many restrictions.

He believed them when they said they had oil and various weapons; after all, the forbidden zone was a place where danger and opportunity coexisted. Whether it was oil or weapons, they would eventually have them—

But this thing.

Explosion button?

It will explode if you press it?

How did it explode?

Did it just explode like that?

Jones felt like he was living in a dream!

"Captain! Look!"

Miller was pointing frantically at a certain spot.

"The explosion is getting closer and closer!"

Jones looked on blankly.

Surely not.

The noise of the explosion was like flowers blooming on a mountain—big and small, light and bright—what mountain could withstand such a display?

The flowering rate was originally quite regular, blooming one bloom at a time.

But suddenly, for some reason, the speed suddenly increased.

"Boom boom boom boom boom—!"

Flowers bloomed all along the way.

It seems like these flowers are about to bloom right on their heads.

—This is actually the second stage of pressing the button for the European Games.

"……Oh shit."

Jones finally snapped and cursed.

As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn!

They still have less than half an hour to make a call, and they can still turn the tide!

But no sooner said than done.

The three of them hurriedly packed their things and prepared to run away.

"boom!!!"

An explosion occurred.

Jones's question, which had been puzzling him, was instantly answered—

Yes, that's right, it exploded like that.

Jones immediately felt an unprecedented tremor beneath his feet, as if something scalding hot was about to burst forth—

"boom!!!"

A loud bang.

People are flying in the sky.

The soul is chasing after it.

"Aaaaaahh ...

Three people from the US took off from the spot.

Jones turned around abruptly.

Look down below, the flames of the explosion are vividly chasing after them!

Damn it, is it just my imagination? Why does it feel like the fire from the explosion is aimed at them?

Wasn't it supposed to be a random explosion?

So that's how random it is?!

"..."

Oh shit!

As expected of the terrifying people of the Dragon Kingdom! They can even summon hellfire?!

Jones was really struggling, so he had no choice but to shout:

"Brothers! We have to teleport! Otherwise, it'll be too late!"

"Where to! Captain, name a place!"

The two men weren't as muscular as Jones; they were thrown into the air by the explosion and were spinning 360 degrees.

Jones immediately began brainstorming.

Since we're leaving, we definitely need to go somewhere safe, but all of a sudden, I can't think of a single safe place. And with everything around here destroyed, there's practically nowhere safe. Okay, then there's only one truth—

"Sing it to yourself, 'Go to the safest place in the forbidden area! Quickly!'"
