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

[National Fortune Rewards are being drawn...]

[Infrastructure Maniac: Dragon Kingdom's infrastructure efficiency increased by 20%]

Upon seeing the reward, Leng Ruolan beamed with joy, "Infrastructure? That's awesome!"

Chen Hao nodded repeatedly, "Now is precisely the time when our Dragon Kingdom needs to begin development, and your reward has come at just the right time!"

Ou Yun didn't think too much about it. "As long as it's a national reward and it helps our country, that's fine."

The announcement of the national fortune reward once again caused a stir throughout the Dragon Kingdom.

"Hahaha, infrastructure construction maniac! How did Forbidden Land know that our country has recently started ground construction?"

"Awesome! You're such a lucky guy! Just like a pillow handed to someone who's about to fall asleep!"

"Hilarious! Our infrastructure development was already fast enough, and if we speed things up like this, we'll really become infrastructure maniacs!"

With the cleanup over, the Dragon Kingdom has dealt with a large number of contestants who harbored ill intentions towards them.

Although all of them came to us on their own.

But at least it showed everyone the true skills of the Chinese athletes—

Showing off will make you soar! Believe it or not!

Several countries that have been repeatedly mentioned have been terrified by China.

As soon as the reckoning was over, he immediately knelt down and apologized to Long Guo.

Big brother, you're my own brother! The matter of those forbidden zone contestants has nothing to do with our real world! Their targeting of your Dragon Kingdom contestants has absolutely nothing to do with us!

The Dragon Kingdom was already used to it and handled it with ease, dealing with people as needed while continuing to nurture the Gu with a combination of kindness and severity.

On the other hand, the United States, which was clearly instigated by the country to challenge the Chinese, remained silent and quiet even after being punished, just like a chicken.

The Dragon Kingdom thought it was a good thing; by not causing trouble, they wouldn't have to be distracted by dealing with others, leaving them no time for development.

Of course, barring any unforeseen circumstances, those in the forbidden area should be able to enjoy a period of peace and quiet.

Ou Yun even felt a little regretful, "I haven't even used teleportation yet, damn it, I've never had the chance!"

Leng Ruolan chuckled, "It's alright, you don't need to teleport. Wherever you want to go, the wild beasts in the forbidden area will naturally take you there."

Chen Hao said, "No, no, what are you setting? Our house isn't even finished yet!"

The three Bear Kingdom citizens said in unison, "Don't rush, didn't our leader just receive the national fortune reward? This Dragon Kingdom camp of ours is also part of the Dragon Kingdom's infrastructure!"

This was perfect timing; the cabin was built in a flurry of activity, and the progress was significantly accelerated.

With the foundation already laid, the framework was quickly finalized.

And just like that, a month passed by at a leisurely pace.

In the impregnable camp of the Dragon Kingdom, which resembled a city gate tower, a cozy yet impressive little wooden cabin was finally built!

It's not as good as what's shown in the documentary, after all, it doesn't have as many modern tools, only some very basic ones. It's still a miracle that it was completed smoothly and passed safety tests, even with the national fortunes boosting it.

There are two floors inside. The staircase is on the left, there is a chimney in the middle, and the bottom is connected to the closet.

Next to the closet is a table made from a tree stump, with pots, pans and other utensils on it.

The fatter man had a portable gas stove, lighter, lamp and other miscellaneous items on the ground.

The second floor is where we sleep; because everyone's abilities were limited, we only made simple partitions.

The walls on both the upper and lower floors were covered with guns, just in case—although Alexander thought there would be no need to use them.

—Because he recently discovered that his older brother likes the art of explosions.

The cabin is located at the back of the camp, backed by a mountain wall and surrounded by green trees. The back door leads to the oil field, and a path has been built around the monkey den.

With the blessing of the Dragon Kingdom's national fortune, the three from the Bear Kingdom reinforced the walls once again.

They even specially modified the muzzle for mounting rocket launchers.

—The 10 rocket launchers, each equipped with 20 rounds of ammunition, were obtained from 10 purple supply crates by the European team.

Ou Yun was puzzled, "How come there are exactly 10? They're just enough to circle the camp?"

Chen Hao wasn't surprised. "Keep driving, maybe we can trigger a few more explosion buttons."

Leng Ruolan said it was better to stop, "If this bombing continues, our mountain will be the only one that's safe."

The group thoroughly surveyed the surrounding area.

The camp is surrounded by cliffs, dense forests, and strange rocks for cover, and beyond these are traps set by Chen Hao and Ivan.

There were several hidden sentry posts set up by Leng Ruolan in the tree, as well as sentry towers specifically for Chen Hao to guard his home.

Chen Hao was utterly dumbfounded. "What, am I sitting in the fountain for special treatment?"

Leng Ruolan snorted, "This is much more comfortable than my hidden sentry's place. I specially had them set this up for you, so you should be grateful."

Chen Hao actually thought about it for a moment, "Captain Leng, do you dare let me go jungle with my brother just once?"

"Sure. Let's have a contest, and whoever wins gets to jungle with Big Brother, how about that?"

"..."

Chen Hao decided that a good man doesn't fight with a woman.

Ou Yun was increasingly satisfied with what he saw—this place looked much more comfortable than his real life!

"So, we finally have a safe place to live in this forbidden area?"

Chen Hao's glasses fogged up, so he took them off and wiped them, revealing a pair of bloodshot eyes.

Seeing this, Leng Ruolan immediately turned her face away, "I'm going to patrol the mountain!"

Then he ran away without looking back.

Ou Yun handed him a large dried fish that Leng Ruolan had just grilled. "Brother, this isn't a place for sentimentality, it's for enjoying yourself. Eat something and calm down."

Chen Hao chuckled, "No emotional appeal, it's just like getting dried fish in your eyes."

"This dried fish is so smoky, it made my eyes red."

After a few jokes, the three from Xiong Kingdom brought the topic back on track.

They felt they had finished their work and it was time to leave!

Ou Yun said, "No, we've been together for so long, haven't we already formed an alliance?"

Ivan looked regretful, but slowly shook his head.

Maxim remained silent, only looking up at the sky.

Alexander sighed, "Brother, you'll always be our dear brother..."

But even if they are the eldest brother, they should have some self-awareness.

Can I really follow my older brother for the rest of my life?

The rewards and resources in this forbidden area can be obtained by relying on the eldest brother.

Even if the eldest brother is kind-hearted, they still refuse.

"A real man has already done what he promised his elder brother, so he can't delay his future any further."

Alexander said in a very serious tone.

To be honest, ranking in the top 20 during the liquidation period was far beyond their expectations...

If we hadn't met our older brother and the others, our strength would probably have barely reached the passing grade.

Maxim went out with his older brother and Leng for a few days and amassed several hundred points just from that.

Not to mention they still have 5 purple supply crates.

This is already incredibly awesome!
