Looking at his hands full of prey, Lu Fan smiled wryly and said, "This is truly a happy problem. I should have brought several super-large bags, preferably the kind that can hold the entire zoo!"
An Lan shook her head, looking helpless: "There's nothing we can do, let's go back first. Next time we'll have to make sure our equipment is properly prepared."
So, the three of them could only return to the villa with their bountiful harvest, looking back every few steps, reluctant to leave.
The other surviving contestants, like them, were also immersed in the joy of their victory.
Even those who were the unluckiest had a few birds in their hands, their faces beaming with satisfaction, muttering to themselves, "Now we have something to eat! My luck has finally turned around. It seems that God is still looking out for me!"
When Lu Fan and the other two returned to the villa, they were panting heavily, like three noodles that had been drained of their muscles and bones.
They stuffed all the prey into the storage room at once, and the storage room was instantly filled to the brim.
After a short rest, Lu Fan, holding Da Jiao's hand, and Ling Yue, riding their somewhat worn but still "powerful" bike, set off again with high spirits.
This time, they changed their strategy and no longer focused solely on picking up large prey.
As they walked, Lu Fan suggested, "We don't lack food now. Collecting more different kinds of animals would be a great benefit to the development of biodiversity in China. Let's build a mobile animal treasure trove for our motherland!"
An Lan's eyes lit up, and she nodded repeatedly: "Yes, it feels like opening a blind box, you might find some rare animal!"
The three of them then began their "picking and choosing" process.
"Um, is this stuff rotten?"
"Is this the smell of your feet?"
...
"Is this a golden pheasant? I wonder what it tastes like?"
"Try it tonight."
...
"Holy crap, there's a snake!!"
...
"Haha, there's a baby crocodile here. Let's catch it and raise it."
...

Live broadcast room.
"666, so many animals!"
"Luckily there is a storage facility, otherwise we wouldn't know where to put these animals, which cost hundreds of millions of yuan."
"I don't recognize many of these animals."
"Things you don't know are the most precious."
Time flies, the sun gradually sets in the west, and a magnificent sunset appears on the horizon, like a spilled palette of paints, red, orange, and purple, intertwined together, a breathtaking sight.
The three men, laden with their prey, returned to their shelter, completely satisfied.
Big Black appeared out of nowhere, circling around them happily, making "woof woof" sounds, as if welcoming their triumphant return.
Back at the villa, looking at the day's fruitful results, the three of them smiled at each other. Although they were physically exhausted, they felt as sweet as if they had eaten honey, and were filled with a sense of accomplishment.
As night fell, Lu Fan meticulously prepared a red-bellied pheasant, arranging it in the style of poached chicken.
"Hmm, the taste is just so-so."
As Lu Fan tasted it, he made his comments in a leisurely manner.
"It's good enough to have something to eat, why be so picky?" An Lan couldn't help but complain.
Just as the three were enjoying this moment of joy, a wilderness survival announcement suddenly sounded.
[Wilderness Survival Announcement]
[Dear survivors, congratulations on your tenacious perseverance until now. This challenging wilderness survival game is about to end.]
Since the start of the survival journey, 591 contestants from 197 countries have participated, but as of now, only 163 contestants have survived, meaning that three-fifths of the countries have lost their chance to continue the struggle.
The remaining contestants all brought about tremendous changes to their countries, altering the fate of their respective nations.
Based on the performance of each survival player, the rankings for each country are as follows.
[First Place: China]
Second Place: White Bear Kingdom

[Fourth Place: America]
...
Based on this ranking, the rewards are as follows.

Beautiful Country
[Terrestrial ecosystems have recovered by 20%, marine ecosystems by 20%, abundant resources have been obtained, and technological achievements have surpassed current levels by 10 years]
...
As the announcement of the wilderness survival challenge faded into the air, the live stream chat instantly exploded like a powder keg.
The barrage of comments scrolled wildly like a surging tide, densely covering the entire screen and dazzling the viewer.
"What's going on?! Am I seeing things? The challenge is over!"
"Is this reward for real? China is invincible!"
"100% ecological restoration, and resources that will never run dry!!"
"The most amazing thing is that technological achievement, which is 100 years ahead of the current level of technology!! It's simply unimaginable!"
"This is too sudden. Great God Lu Fan hasn't even found the dinosaur yet."
"Dinosaur, you son of a bitch."
Compared to the jubilation in the Chinese livestream rooms, other countries didn't seem as happy.
Especially the United States, seeing that their country was only ranked fourth, people in the live broadcast room were furious and cursed the American players as useless, for letting China take first place.
The angry barrage of bullets was like a machine gun.
"These good-for-nothings always brag like crazy, but they always let us down when it matters!"
"Why did China take first place? There must be something fishy going on!"
The American leadership fell into a long silence, the atmosphere in the meeting room so oppressive it felt like you could wring water out of it.
Those politicians who were usually so arrogant were now all black-faced and silent, their usual arrogance completely extinguished.
As soon as the announcement was made, the world changed immediately, especially in China.
On land, countless plants seemed to hear the bugle call to charge, and sprang up from the ground in a flash.
The once boundless desert, filled with yellow sand, was instantly covered by lush greenery, as if someone had taken an oversized green paintbrush and quickly changed the earth's clothes.
The once wounded land has been restored to life, and lively animals have emerged from the mountains, forests and grasslands, as if by magic. The entire ecosystem is recovering rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
