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

More red flags fluttered on the hilltops.

The red flags unfurled in the torrential rain, fluttering in the wind.

Beneath the flag stood rows of People's Liberation Army soldiers.

The earthquake affected more than just Chuanbei Middle School.

All counties and cities in Sichuan were within the earthquake zone.

Countless people are buried under the rubble, waiting for rescue.

These People's Liberation Army soldiers, mobilized from all over China, desperately traversed the collapsed mountains and mudslides, rushing towards the towns and villages below.

Behind each red flag was a vertical flag with a red background and yellow lettering, on which were printed several large characters:

Chengdu Military Region Earthquake Rescue Team

Jinan Military Region Earthquake Relief Team

Lanzhou Military Region Earthquake Relief Team

Kyoto Military Region Earthquake Relief Team

Yangcheng Military Region Earthquake Relief Team

Marine Corps earthquake relief unit

Artillery Engineering Corps Earthquake Rescue Unit

and many more...

There were too many flags to count.

Teams of People's Liberation Army soldiers quickly headed to various disaster-stricken areas in Sixian to carry out rescue and relief operations.

Amidst torrential rain and howling winds, transport planes emerged one after another from the dark clouds.

The red flag on the belly of the plane was particularly eye-catching against the hazy sky.

The rear hatch was fully open.

Paratroopers jumped down one after another, seemingly without regard for their lives.

In addition, various relief supplies and medical equipment were also dropped down.

Black parachutes bloomed in the downpour, densely packed, obscuring half the sky.

They landed on mountaintops, on riverbanks, and beside ruins.

Some paratroopers began setting up communication equipment as soon as they landed.

Some carried medical equipment and ran frantically towards the nearest village.

Some paratroopers, armed with shovels and other tools, cleared a level ground for the air rescue operation.

Others were swept into the swift-flowing river by the strong winds, their fate unknown...

This incredibly moving scene was deeply etched in the hearts of Jiang Chen and the girls.

Only then did they understand what it meant:

Loyalty is revealed in times of crisis!

At this moment, braving the heavy rain and strong winds, the team that resolutely rushed towards Chuanbei Middle School was the earthquake relief team of the Chengdu Military Region.

On the playground of Chuanbei Middle School, all the teachers and students stood up.

Everyone is looking in the same direction.

Everyone was looking at the red flag that had appeared on the nearby hilltop, and the vertical flag with a red background and yellow lettering:

Chengdu Military Region Earthquake Rescue Team

Immediately afterwards, figures dressed in camouflage uniforms rushed down from the hilltop.

They climbed over fallen trees, stepped on loose rubble, and ran wildly towards Chuanbei Middle School in the pouring rain.

Many students and teachers who wear glasses doubted whether they were seeing things.

They vigorously rubbed the lenses with their school uniforms and the hems of their clothes, only to discover... after putting their glasses back on.

That red flag is real!

Someone shouted excitedly:

"The People's Liberation Army is here!"

These three words exploded like a bomb on the playground:

"They really are People's Liberation Army soldiers!"

"We're saved!"

"Waaaah... The People's Liberation Army is here!"

The students of Chuanbei Middle School embraced each other and wept, their fear completely replaced by hope and emotion.

The teachers' eyes also welled up with tears.

The principal, carrying a shovel, watched the approaching red flag and the figures in camouflage uniforms.

The elderly man, who had never shed a tear in front of his students and teachers, had tears of emotion welling up in his eyes, and even covered his eyes and choked up.

His hand gripping the shovel trembled violently, his lips quivered for a long time, and finally he could only utter a few words in a trembling voice:

"The People's Liberation Army is here..."

The most reassuring sentence in the world is:

The People's Liberation Army is here!

On the highway where the bus is located.

The girls all got off the bus and stood around Jiang Chen.

Everyone looked up at the sky obscured by parachutes and at the distant hilltops where figures in camouflage uniforms kept emerging.

Upon seeing the paratroopers and the People's Liberation Army, the atmosphere of despair and oppression among the girls was instantly replaced by reassurance, admiration, and emotion.

Many girls cried tears of joy.

Bai Nuonuo's droopy hair, which had been drooping because she was worried about the firefighters and the teachers and students of North Sichuan, suddenly stood up straight and kept swaying.

She gripped Jiang Chen's clothes tightly with her left hand, while holding the teddy bear in her right. Her big, round eyes were slightly red, filled with admiration.

She murmured this sentence:

"Is the person who was saved by Mom and Dad back then feeling the same way Nuonuo is now?"

Bai Nuonuo subconsciously moved closer to Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen looked down at Bai Nuonuo and nodded gently:

"Yes, your uncle and aunt are amazing!"

Bai Nuonuo hugged the teddy bear even tighter and nodded vigorously.

Lu Wanzhou stood on the other side of Jiang Chen, trying hard to hold back her reddened eyes.

She pursed her lips, watching the camouflage figures rushing towards Chuanbei Middle School.

She pursed her lips and then smiled.

This is a smile that comes from the bottom of one's heart, one of pride.

Jiang Chen turned to look at Lu Wanzhou, who was secretly wiping away tears while smiling, and gently opened his left arm.

Lu Wanzhou skillfully snuggled into Jiang Chen's arms, her lips curving into an even wider smile.

At that moment, her proud smile was tinged with happiness.

You little brat, you've got some sense.

Xiao Chen... understands me quite well.

I love Xiao Chen the most!

(✿˵• ᴗ •˵)

Ruan Ningshuang's tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed as she quietly looked up at the red flags on the nearby and distant hilltops.

A distinct smile appeared on that usually cold face.

She was genuinely happy to see the arrival of the People's Liberation Army.

Ruan Ningshuang's smile softened the coldness on her face, making her look more gentle.

Seeing the students smiling happily, Wen Ruyan let out a soft breath, her gentle eyes filled with relief and emotion.

She gently wiped away a tear from the corner of a girl's eye beside her, and sighed softly:

"With them around, the children in northern Sichuan no longer have to be afraid."

Wu Maiduo, leaning on her Liuhe rifle, watched without moving as the People's Liberation Army soldiers stormed into the North Sichuan Middle School.

The red tassel on the spear tip danced wildly in the rain.

Her eyes were unusually firm.

Wu Maiduo actually experienced the same massive earthquake on the day her parents sacrificed their lives.

But she was only four years old at the time, and didn't have many memories of it.

All I know is that on that day, my parents sacrificed themselves to protect the students.

Wu Maiduo now wants to remember this moment when the People's Liberation Army rescued the people.

This is the path her parents walked.

If she has the chance in the future, she will protect the people behind her just like her parents protect their students.

Lan Xingyao's light blue hair was blown by the wind.

She gazed solemnly at the People's Liberation Army troops rushing into the Chuanbei Middle School, her eyes filled with admiration.

Lan Xingwan stood next to her older sister, constantly wiping her eyes with her arm.

She had just finished wiping her eyes when she glanced at the People's Liberation Army soldiers, and her vision blurred again, so she had to wipe them all over again.

Lan Xingyao gently patted Lan Xingwan's back, her voice soothing:

"Don't cry, don't cry, I'm here..."

Lan Xingwan looked at her suddenly serious sister, and laughed out loud while wiping away her tears:

"Sis...you're suddenly so serious, I...I'm not used to it yet..."

Lan Xingyao rolled her eyes at her younger sister and suddenly said this:

"You look awful crying..."

Lan Xingwan: ? ? ?

Tang Yan kept staring at the girl on the screen who was wearing a red scarf and a black uniform.

Her blue eyes shone like stars, and she exclaimed softly in amazement:

"What a cool sister! That rescue was so amazing! I want to slap her! I have to slap her hard!"

"And... short hair + red scarf... are you Mikasa?!"

On the screen, the awakened one who descended from the sky was wielding two jet-black Tang swords with both hands.

As she slowly walked towards the horde of zombies, she twirled her wrists with two Tang-style swords.

Two jet-black Tang-style swords spun rapidly in her hands.

Rainwater was flung off the blade, tracing countless arcs in the air.

This stylish wrist corsage was taught to her by her childhood sweetheart.

Suddenly, she grasped the rapidly spinning Tang sword, holding it upright with her left hand and backwards with her right.

She slowly walked towards the horde of zombies, raising her twin knives to her chest.

The two knives were crossed in a cross shape. As she pulled them horizontally with force, the two black blades rubbed together, scattering a few sparks.

The next moment, crimson lightning and sparks exploded on the short sword.

The girl was dressed in a jet-black special combat suit, with a crimson scarf around her neck fluttering behind her, and she held a Tang-style horizontal sword that shimmered with crimson lightning in her hands.

This scene was deeply imprinted in Sakura Hiyuki's eyes.

Sakura Hiyuki tightened her grip on the crimson katana with her left hand.

His crimson pupils were fixed on the girl in the red scarf on the screen.

Her talent, "Severing the Cage," constantly sent her strong warnings: this girl is very strong!

Including Jiang Chen, [Severing the Cage] also issued a warning to him:

This girl is amazing!

Jiang Chen looked at the girl on the screen and murmured softly:

"Black Sheep Wall"

The next moment, the female swordswoman's profile appeared before Jiang Chen's eyes.

Jiang Chen's pupils suddenly contracted, and a storm raged in his heart.

Since he transmigrated, he has never seen such a terrifying control panel!
