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

Inside the bus.

Jiang Chen and the girls watched everything that happened at Chuanbei Middle School through the screen.

They could even clearly see the situation of Xiang Xiaonan and Wang Jinchuan after they were trapped under the rubble.

It was as if the system was deliberately showing them that.

Meanwhile, the girls could see on the left side of the screen scenes of Xiang Xiaonan rescuing students one after another.

On the right side of the screen, only Zhang Zhengyang remains, gripping the broken fire axe, desperately fighting off zombies at the back gate of the school.

Even when Zhang Zhengyang was the only one left, he didn't let a single zombie set foot on campus!

Zhang Zhengyang stood on the ruins of the collapsed building at the back gate, looking down at the zombies slowly approaching.

Fine rain streamed down his cheeks, mingling with dark brown blood as it dripped onto the gravel at his feet.

He was covered in blood.

He ripped the sleeve off his left arm, tearing a large chunk of flesh from his upper arm, exposing the bloody bone.

The hem of his right calf was also torn in a large area, the wound was so deep that the bone was visible, and blood was flowing down the pant leg.

Zhang Zhengyang stood on a high place, leaning on a fire axe, looking down.

The open space in front of him was littered with the corpses of his comrades, many of whom were still being devoured by zombies.

Lin Wanfeng's body fell into the river and was instantly swept away.

Several comrades were bitten by zombies and, before they could commit suicide, they turned into zombies themselves, got up again, and staggered into the zombie horde.

However, Zhang Zhengyang and his team also killed quite a few zombies.

The bridge and the open space behind the gate were littered with the corpses of zombies.

Some heads were split open.

Some had their necks cut off.

Some were cut in half at the waist and were still crawling on the ground.

Among them was the corpse of a smoking zombie.

Dark brown and bright red blood covered the bridge surface and the open space behind the gate.

Washed by the rain, the water flows into the river, causing streaks of red to appear in the blue water as it is washed downstream.

Now, all that remains in front of Zhang Zhengyang are about ten zombies and a C-level Smoker.

The smoker coughed every now and then, exhaling a puff of black smoke.

What Zhang Zhengyang was most wary of was that B-level hunter.

Zhang Zhengyang knew that he couldn't hold off the zombies on his own.

So, he gripped the fire axe tightly in his right hand, raised his left hand, and pressed the talk button on the walkie-talkie:

"Abandon the rescue! Take everyone and leave the school! That's an order!"

"Repeat! Abandon the rescue! Take everyone and leave the school!"

But just as Zhang Zhengyang finished speaking, he heard a beast's growl.

Immediately afterwards, he looked up and saw a dark shadow leaping down from the tree toward him.

The walkie-talkie fell to the ground, and the voices of Xiang Xiaonan, Li Anmin, and Zhou Jichuan kept coming from it:

"receive!"

"Captain, what happened on your end?!"

"team leader?!"

Zhang Zhengyang was unable to respond.

Because the hunter zombie was pouncing on him, knocking him off the pile of rubble and crashing him to the ground.

Zhang Zhengyang's back slammed into the gravel due to inertia, causing him to feel dizzy and his vision to go black.

The hunter straddled him, his claws digging wildly at his chest.

Clothes were torn, flesh was ripped open, and blood was splattered everywhere.

Zhang Zhengyang's adrenaline surged to its peak.

He couldn't feel the pain, or rather, the pain had been overshadowed by his anger.

This monster killed his three brothers!

Kill his Feng'er!

Zhang Zhengyang roared:

"Go to hell! Give me back my brother's life! Give me back my wife's life!"

He gripped the fire axe in his right hand and swung it down hard at the hunter's head.

The axe blade cleaved into the hunter's skull.

The hunter screamed and clawed even harder.

Zhang Zhengyang gritted his teeth, pulled the axe outward, and chopped again.

It's practically a life-or-death battle...

Zhang Zhengyang was disemboweled by a hunter and died.

But he also showed the hunter what it meant for "a common man's anger to cause bloodshed within five steps".

Zhang Zhengyang smashed the head of this B-level hunter.

Inside the bus.

The girls could see through the screen that countless roars came from the back gate of Chuanbei Middle School, and five or six zombies and a C-level Smoker surrounded Zhang Zhengyang's corpse, while the rest of the zombies slowly poured into Chuanbei Middle School.

Seeing the scenes at Chuanbei Middle School, they were already in tears.

Bai Nuonuo hugged the teddy bear, curled up in Jiang Chen's arms, and buried her face in his chest.

Her thin shoulders trembled violently, but she bit her lip tightly, afraid to cry out.

She dared not look at the screen, because every time she looked up, she saw an even more distressing scene.

Jiang Chen could feel his clothes on his chest being quickly soaked with the little girl's warm liquid.

Tang Yan had long since lost interest in opening treasure chests.

She stood blankly in front of the D-grade treasure chest, her hands covering her mouth, her blue pupils filled with tears, her vision blurring again and again, only to clear again by blinking hard repeatedly.

Tears streamed down her cheeks, forming droplets on her chin.

Lan Xingyao lost her usual playful smile and stopped making lewd jokes.

She hugged her younger sister, Lan Xingwan, tightly, resting her chin on the top of Lan Xingwan's head.

The two sisters huddled together, neither of them speaking, silently watching the horrific scene on the screen.

But Lan Xingwan's tears soaked Lan Xingyao's thin halter top.

Ying Feixue and Ruan Ningshuang sat together, neither of the two icy beauties saying much, just silently watching the screen.

Sakura Hiyuki gripped the hilt of her katana tightly, while her other hand unconsciously twisted the hem of her red horse-face skirt.

Ruan Ningshuang gripped her cheongsam tightly with her fingertips, and her usually aloof eyes were now misty with tears.

Wen Ruyan walked back and forth in the corridor, constantly comforting the girls who were crying uncontrollably, and gently patting their backs in a very gentle voice.

Sometimes, while I was comforting her, she would start to choke up herself.

The girls would also comfort her and wipe away her tears.

When Wen Ruyan saw the scene of the bespectacled male teacher shielding four students with his body, she was deeply moved.

She felt a soreness and stiffness in her throat, and wanted to cry, but she forced back her tears.

She didn't want to cry in front of her students; if she couldn't hold back, her students would be even less likely to.

When Wu Maiduo saw a teacher sacrifice herself for her students, she almost couldn't hold back her tears, but she still comforted the girl sitting next to her.

After experiencing the pain of losing a student, this once cheerful Tibetan girl has unknowingly become the most reliable confidante in the team.

The girls also really liked this sister who was very good at comforting people.

Lu Wanzhou stood beside Jiang Chen, her eyes red beneath her short pink hair, yet she stubbornly bit her lip, refusing to shed a tear.

"Xiao Chen! Is there really... nothing we can do?!"

"If you can't do anything about it, why make us see all this..."

"We were too young during that big earthquake, and there was nothing we could do except donate some pocket money. But what about now?"

As Lu Wanzhou spoke, she clenched her small fists, and tears of resentment still slid down her cheeks.

Bai Nuonuo sniffed her pink little nose, obediently propped herself up, wiped her eyes with her little hands, and then left Jiang Chen's arms.

She knew she couldn't monopolize Jiang Chen for too long; Wan Zhou also needed Jiang Chen.

Bai Nuonuo thoughtfully straightened the wrinkled corner of Jiang Chen's clothes and whispered:

"Brother Jiang Chen, why don't you comfort Sister Wanzhou? Nuonuo is fine."

After saying that, she hugged the teddy bear and stepped aside, her tuft of hair hanging limply on her head.

Jiang Chen stood up and pulled the tense Lu Wanzhou into his arms. He gently stroked her pink head with his right hand, his fingers sliding from the top of her head to the ends, one stroke at a time, while softly comforting her:

"I promise you, I will do my best whenever I have the chance."

"It's not just you, we all want to do our part and don't want Captain Zhang and the others to sacrifice themselves."

Lu Wanzhou nodded slightly in Jiang Chen's arms, her fingers gripping his clothes tightly.

The next moment, both screens flashed, all live stream footage disappeared, and the background returned to white.

The system notification sounded in Jiang Chen's and the girls' minds, and also appeared on the two huge screens:
