Survival in the Class: I'm the Only Boy on the Bus

Before Zhang Zhengyang even reached the bus, the door opened.

Jiang Chen stepped out of the car, carrying an unsheathed katana in his left hand and the Golden Desert Eagle tucked into his waistband.

He carried weapons to ensure the safety of the girls.

Although the map was fully revealed and showed that there were no zombies in this instance and the death rate was zero, Jiang Chen wouldn't gamble with the girls' safety; it was always better to be cautious.

As for personally getting out of the car to greet them, it was Jiang Chen's way of showing respect for the firefighters.

Jiang Chen stepped onto the cement road and looked up at the two people walking towards him.

Zhang Zhengyang and Lin Wanfeng walked side by side, their steps steady and their backs straight.

Jiang Chen looked at the two of them and the other firefighters behind them. Although he didn't know them, he felt a strange sense of familiarity with them, probably because of their uniforms.

Not only Jiang Chen, but even the girls on the bus felt a sense of warmth and respect upon seeing that navy blue color.

At this moment, all the girls crowded to the window, watching the two firefighters slowly walk in:

Wow! Those two female firefighters are so cool!

"Their presence and muscular physique are absolutely on par with the male firefighters!"

"She's so beautiful and cool!"

"These are the stars we should be idolizing!"

The girls started chattering away, their eyes shining, as they watched the two female firefighters.

Lu Wanzhou's beautiful eyes were also filled with respect:

"These are the stars we should be idolizing!"

The other girls all nodded in agreement.

The six seats in the front row were already empty; the girls had voluntarily vacated them without Jiang Chen having to say anything.

In addition, a bottle of water was placed on each seat, neatly arranged.

Wu Maiduo, who made way for the firefighters, is standing next to Bai Nuonuo.

She suddenly realized that Bai Nuonuo was acting strangely.

Bai Nuonuo kept watching the two firefighters, a married couple, slowly walking towards them from a distance, and she had lost her usual liveliness.

She buried her face in the teddy bear, leaving only her two big, round eyes peeking out as she stared at the firefighter couple.

Even the ahoge (cowlick) was drooping listlessly.

Wu Maiduo raised her hand and waved it in front of Bai Nuonuo's eyes:

"Nuonuo, what's wrong?"

Bai Nuonuo shook her head, hugged the teddy bear even tighter, and said in a muffled, nasal voice:

"No...it's okay...Sister Maiduo...Nuonuo just...misses her mom and dad a little..."

As she spoke, Bai Nuonuo lowered her head and quickly wiped her eyes with her sleeve.

When Bai Nuonuo saw Zhang Zhengyang and Lin Wanfeng, she immediately thought of her parents, who were firefighters.

When I first got into Tsinghua or Peking University and went to take a photo with them, my parents were also wearing the same navy blue casual clothes and walking towards me with smiles.

Wu Maiduo gently reached out and rubbed Bai Nuonuo's head.

The girls also gathered around, some patting her head, some offering her snacks, and some even pulling Bai Nuonuo into their arms:

"Nuonuo's okay, come to your big sister for a hug!"

"Don't cry, Nuonuo, don't cry, your older sisters are all here..."

"We're here for you, Nuonuo isn't alone."

Seeing so many girls comforting Bai Nuonuo, Lan Xingyao didn't go over, afraid she wouldn't be able to handle the scene.

Lan Xingyao was leaning back in her chair with her arms crossed, then patted Wu Maiduo on the shoulder.

Her voice was noticeably gentler when she stopped making lewd jokes.

"Every time Nuonuo sees firefighters, she thinks of her parents."

Wu Maiduo looked at Bai Nuonuo, who was surrounded by the girls, and sighed softly.

She understands that feeling very well.

Her parents also died in an earthquake, leaving her an orphan.

But Wu Maiduo never hated them; in fact, she was proud of them.

That's why she resolutely returned to the elementary school in the post-disaster reconstruction area to become a student teacher.

Otherwise, with her resume, she could definitely find a good job in a big city.

Moreover, as a reserve member of the Red Army, Wu Maiduo must go where the people need her.

At the same time, outside the bus, Jiang Chen walked towards Zhang Zhengyang and Lin Wanfeng.

The two sides are getting closer and closer.

Jiang Chen's gaze passed over Zhang Zhengyang's shoulder and looked at the two fire trucks behind them.

Then he froze on the spot, his pupils suddenly contracting.

Because he saw that familiar red flag on the fire truck...

Just then, a ray of sunlight pierced through the dark clouds, crossed the mountaintop, and shone directly on the red flag.

At this moment, the red flag fluttered in the sultry wind, standing out prominently against the backdrop of green hills and clear waters.

Jiang Chen never expected that in addition to organizations like firefighters, this world also had this red flag. Does that mean that China might also exist?

He recalled the transport planes he had seen in the city of peace, with eagle heads printed on their fuselages—the symbol of the Eagle Nation.

If the United States exists, then what about China?

Jiang Chen felt that there was a high probability that the country of China existed in this world!

But then another question arises: have these players traveled to the future, or to a parallel world?

If the country of China really exists, how would they view these players who have traveled from another world?

One question after another popped into Jiang Chen's head, and he couldn't stop thinking about them.

Zhang Zhengyang saw Jiang Chen staring blankly at the red flag from afar.

He saw Jiang Chen's expression clearly.

Zhang Zhengyang glanced at his wife beside him.

Lin Wanfeng nodded slightly, and the two exchanged a glance.

Zhang Zhengyang leaned close to Lin Wanfeng's ear and whispered:

"Feng'er, remember to watch your words. Don't say things you shouldn't..."

Before Zhang Zhengyang could finish speaking, Lin Wanfeng raised her index finger and pressed it against his lips.

Lin Wanfeng shook her head, signaling him to stop talking.

Zhang Zhengyang nodded, indicating that he understood.

Lin Wanfeng then removed her fingers.

The two walked up to Jiang Chen and stood in front of him.

Zhang Zhengyang looked Jiang Chen up and down, somewhat shocked.

This young man was tall and sturdy, and his weapons were quite impressive.

Moreover, his aura and sense of oppression clearly indicate that his strength is extraordinary.

This tenth batch of players has only been in the game for two days, and this young man is already this powerful?!

Zhang Zhengyang also noticed that although Jiang Chen was young, he gave people a very reliable and steady feeling.

Zhang Zhengyang extended his hand to Jiang Chen, a serious expression appearing on his square face:

"Young comrades, thank you for your trouble."

When Jiang Chen heard the word "comrade," his pupils dilated in shock.

Jiang Chen quickly came to his senses and reached out to gently hold Zhang Zhengyang's hand.

He could feel that Zhang Zhengyang's palms were covered with calluses, especially at the joints where his fingers and palms connected, where a thick layer of calluses had formed.

Lin Wanfeng stood next to Zhang Zhengyang, nodded slightly to Jiang Chen, and had a gentle smile on his lips.

Just then, the sound of an engine came from around the bend, rumbling loudly.

Everyone turned to look.

A white van slowly drove out from around the bend in the mountainside.

Another team has arrived...
