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

Chen Hao also chimed in, "We're teammates now, so we can help each other out."

As she spoke, she deliberately glanced at Ou Yun, "Every time Big Brother and Captain Leng go out to jungle, I'm the only one guarding the fountain. You guys at least have some company, right?"

After some further arguing, the group ultimately decided against mentioning the Bear Kingdom.

Europe didn't try to keep them any longer.

"Alright, you can go now, but please help us carry some of our things before you leave."

Without even turning his head, Ou Yun pointed behind him with his thumb.

Alexander and the others looked in the direction that Europe was pointing.

Two large stacks of unprocessed mutated beast carcasses were piled up almost higher than the wall.

They suddenly discovered that the animal carcasses during the cleanup were decomposing very slowly—especially the mutated beasts. It seemed that as long as the skin tissue was not damaged, the corpses of these mutated beasts remained lifelike and in a state as if they had just died.

The smaller the size, the faster it rots.

They had already finished eating the smaller ones—but the larger ones made up the majority, and they were mostly lions, tigers, black panthers, brown bears, and the like.

The meat wasn't particularly tasty, but if you cook it carefully...

During that massive landslide, Ou Yun and Leng Ruolan couldn't offer much help in building the wooden house, so they went to collect the corpses of these mutated wild animals all over the mountains.

Although most of them were destroyed, quite a few survived and were brought back by the two of them.

They themselves couldn't remember how many trips they had made.

I remember that I went out after breakfast that day, and they were busy until the second shift of the secret sentry in Alexander before they were almost finished transporting the goods.

This is just the mountain next door.

"Brothers, you can see for yourselves that there's so much meat. We couldn't possibly finish it all, and that would be a waste."

"Take as much as you want, consider it a thank you gift!"

After Ou Yun said that, Alexander actually thought about it for a moment.

He turned around and discussed it with Ivan and Maxim, and made a decision.

Alexander held up two fingers. "Big brother, we have five purple supply crates. How about we trade one for two mutated beasts and another for 20 bottles of purified water?"

Ou Yun was taken aback for a moment, "I already told you it was a gift, we really can't finish it all!"

Alexander shook his head. "We brothers should keep clear accounts. We can't be greedy just because our elder brother has more things."

"If we find anything good or get any new information about the exit from the forbidden area, we'll come and let you know as soon as possible!"

"Oh, really, you don't need to..."

"Big brother! Here are two purple supply crates! Keep them safe!"

"Oh……"

I received two purple supply crates during the European tour, and then I thought about it.

(Please remember the website 202s.tw for the fastest chapter updates.)

"Well then, you can take another car and leave."

Ou Yun put the box down and clapped his hands.

"We have four vehicles, but there are only three of us. We have one extra one, so we'll give it to you."

"Holy crap..."

Alexander was almost speechless at that moment.

"That won't do! Brother! How can you just give away this vehicle to anyone?! No way! Absolutely not—"

"No—you should keep this car."

Ou Yun looked at him, shrugged, and said, "To be honest, there's not much gas left in this car, so it won't last much longer. We can't just keep adding petroleum to the tank, can we? Once it's out of gas, it's practically useless. You can just take it apart and use it for something else."

"this……"

It would be a lie to say I'm not tempted.

Wow, such an off-road vehicle!

Even if it can't be opened, each part can be used in its own way.

The tires are made of rubber, the body parts are made of metal, and there's a waterproof layer, the passenger compartment, the seats...

Mom!

A tough guy shed tears.

The three burly men from Xiongguo hugged and pleaded with Ou Yun, until Ou Yun finally couldn't take it anymore and told them to leave.

"Big brother! We'll come to visit you often!"

"Uh, is it not difficult to get there? We can just stop by and take a look."

"We'll often stop by to visit you!"

"..."

The people of Xiong Kingdom left.

The Dragon Kingdom camp became much quieter.

It happened to rain that day.

The three people sat in the small wooden house, watching the rain.

Once the rain stopped, the three of them started doing their own things.

Chen Hao guarded the trap, Leng Ruolan patrolled the mountain, and Ou Yun was pulled by Leng Ruolan to patrol the mountain.

Ou Yun never imagined that he would be living a simple, repetitive life even in the forbidden area.

Patrol the mountain, campsite, patrol the mountain, campsite.

Then every now and then they'll release something at a 10,000x multiplier to make everyone in China happy.

"I'm so bored, bro, why don't you open all the boxes?"

"No way, what if it's a limited-time item? I'd be at a huge loss!"

Ou Yun was a hundred times against it, saying, "These things can't be rushed, you have to be patient...you know, patient?"

Leng Ruolan glanced at him sideways. "Patience? Are you going to wait until the crisis arrives before you open your eyes?"

"That's roughly the idea."

"I understand."

Leng Ruolan stood up abruptly.

"Big brother, take the supply box, let's go patrol the mountain."

"Why are you even using rhyme—no, are you going on patrol again? How many times are you going to patrol?!"

"No, this time, let's go patrol the mountain next door!"

Leng Ruolan gave a wicked smile and pointed to the mountain next to her—

It's the mountain that was bombed and turned into a mess back then.

This mountain is terrible. Not only was it blasted apart, but it also caught fire. The mountain has collapsed into small mounds, still flaming up. It looks like it's about to be burned to the ground.

But surprisingly...

Three days later, the mountain miraculously recovered.

It still towers into the clouds, its peaks reaching the sky with barely an inch of height, and withered pines hanging upside down against the precipice.

The modeling is so new it's unbelievable, like a factory reset.

Leng Ruolan had wanted to go and take a look for a long time, and it just so happened that they had already patrolled the mountain almost completely—there were hardly any wild animals to be seen.

Perhaps because of their patrols, their scent permeated the entire area. The wild animals in this mountain had already accepted it as their territory and migrated to other mountains.

Recently, wild animal carcasses have been mysteriously appearing at the camp entrance.

At first, they thought it was just the cow kept at the gate that had gone out hunting.

But Chen Hao discovered that the marks on the surface were all bite marks from wild animals' sharp teeth—there were no signs of human intervention whatsoever.

Chen Hao then slapped his forehead, "Oh, so they've come to offer us tribute!"

Ou Yun thought to himself, "Wow, I'm a mountain king now, and even animals are offering me tributes."

But Leng Ruolan was unhappy.

"Eating, drinking, and relieving yourself are all readily available; otherwise, you'll become useless!"

She said that's how the tyrannical emperors in TV dramas came about.

The other two sighed and thought to themselves, "Is this even the same logic?"

However, after thinking about it for a moment, Ou Yun also felt that there were some things he needed to consider.

"Now that we have a campsite, it's time to move on to a new goal."

"Yes, that's called expanding one's sphere of influence."

Leng Ruolan laughed.

"Now that our kingdom is secure, it's time to expand our territory!"
