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

Sakura Hiyuki gripped the crimson katana tightly in her left hand, her crimson pupils no longer cold, but burning with a fierce fighting spirit.

She always wanted to go up and slash at any powerful enemy she encountered...

She ran her fingertips along the crimson scabbard, longing to have a duel with Lu Yunzhou.

But she knew very well that she was no match for her at the moment.

But her hands were itching, so she turned to look at Jiang Chen with a questioning look in her eyes.

Jiang Chen naturally understood Ying Feixue's thoughts and gently shook his head.

Ying Feixue pursed her lips and suppressed her desire to compete with Lu Yunzhou.

After all, the master's words are absolute commands!

I am very obedient to my master.

In the evening, they still need to practice their "sword skills" with their master, so of course they have to be obedient.

After seeing that Ying Feixue had calmed down, Jiang Chen turned to look at Lu Yunzhou.

At this moment, Senior Lu was looking at the bus by herself.

Jiang Chen then noticed that Lu Yunzhou had a shield-shaped badge on the chest of his black combat uniform, with two lines of gilded characters engraved on it:

Special Forces

[The First Awakened Squad]

Previously, Lu Yunzhou had her back to the screen, so Jiang Chen and the others didn't see her badge clearly.

After learning that Lu Yunzhou was a member of the Chinese military, Jiang Chen and Ying Feixue relaxed their vigilance somewhat.

After all, given Lu Yunzhou's strength, if she really wanted to take action, she wouldn't need to waste time talking nonsense with them.

Lu Yunzhou nodded in satisfaction at Jiang Chen's four-story bus.

She pointed to the countdown on the screen, which showed only 70 seconds left, and said with a smile:

"The countdown is almost over, juniors, aren't you... leaving?"

Jiang Chen looked calmly at Lu Yunzhou:

"Senior Lu, I guess you have something to say to us."

Lu Yunzhou smiled slightly, tore open the Velcro on the pocket of her combat uniform, and took out a pure black card with a metallic sheen.

Jiang Chen immediately used the "Full Map" function to scan the area.

[Invincible Area Card] (SS Rank)

[Effect: Upon use, deploys a shield with a radius of 20 meters. The shield lasts for 10 seconds. Shield value: ∞. Cooldown: 24 hours.]

When Jiang Chen saw the effect of the [Invincible Range Card], his pupils suddenly contracted, and his face showed some shock.

It grants invincibility for 10 seconds!

It's still limited in scope!

Jiang Chen had already guessed what Lu Yunzhou was going to do.

Senior Lu is going to use this SS-rank item.

Make her temporarily invincible, and then tell yourself some things the system forbids you to say?

After all, Captain Zhang had mentioned before that he couldn't say too much.

Seeing the somewhat shocked look in Jiang Chen's eyes, Lu Yunzhou understood that her junior must have the same S-level detection ability as Mei Xue.

Lu Yunzhou took a deep breath and gently clenched her fists.

She looked down and, upon realizing she could see her toes, inwardly snorted.

Mei Xue's big waves are really awful!

I've had Lin Chen all to myself last night!

It has to be my turn tonight!

Hmph! All those with big waves are bad guys!

Thinking of this, Lu Yunzhou directly crushed the [Invincible Range Card] in his hand.

A black spherical shield instantly unfolded, directly protecting her, Jiang Chen, and the bus behind him.

Lu Yunzhou looked at Jiang Chen, her expression instantly turning serious:

"Remember what I'm about to say!"

Beware of residents from unofficial organizations.

"While residents cannot harm players, they have the authority to design a small number of dungeons."

"Senior Lin asked me to pass on a message to you: He's waiting for you to clear the game."

"Ask a question quickly! You have 7 seconds left!"

Every time Lu Yunzhou spoke, a beam of red light descended from the sky.

"Biu~! Biu~!"

The red beam pierced directly through the thick dark clouds, instantly vaporizing the rain along its path.

"Boom!" 』

The beam of light struck the black shield directly, blasting it into a shower of sparks, like iron flowers being struck, except these sparks were red.

But the black shield remained unmoved.

Jiang Chen immediately raised his question:

Why are you telling us so much?

Lu Yunzhou mentally calculated the remaining time and quickly replied:

"Because we want to test you."

"I designed this D-rank dungeon..."

"I simply set up a copy in this location; everything else is real..."

'Bang! Bang!'

As Lu Yunzhou spoke more and more, the red beams struck the black shield more and more frequently, and more ripples appeared on the surface of the shield.

Jiang Chen wanted to ask more questions.

But Lu Yunzhou smiled and shook her head at him:

"Junior...time's running out..."

The next moment, the pure black shield covering Jiang Chen's head exploded, turning into countless black fragments that dissipated in the air.

The red beam of light also stopped falling.

Lu Yunzhou turned and walked towards Chuanbei Middle School. She waved to Jiang Chen with her back to him as she slowly passed through the invisible wall.

"Alright, there are still quite a few zombies around here, and I haven't finished my work yet."

Before she finished speaking, she transformed into a red blur and disappeared into the rain.

Jiang Chen stood there, looking at the plaque of Chuanbei Middle School, silently remembering what Senior Sister Lu had said.

He never expected that this D-level dungeon was designed by Senior Sister Lu.

To be precise, it was she who arranged the instance here.

Because regardless of whether this copy exists or not, the earthquake will still occur.

Most importantly, not all dungeons are provided by the system; there are even dungeons designed by the [Residents].

What restrictions are there when designing a copy of the [Resident] character?

Surely they wouldn't torture the players to death, would they?

Jiang Chen felt that there should be limitations on the dungeon designs created by residents, and the system should not allow residents to create a dungeon that is impossible to pass.

As Jiang Chen was lost in thought, he suddenly heard Ying Feixue's succubus whisper in his ear:

"Master~! It's almost time~!"

Jiang Chen looked at the screen; only 52 seconds remained.

He and Sakura Hiyuki turned and boarded the bus.

The bus was kept running, ready to be restarted at any time.

But shortly after the bus started moving, Captain Zhang led 11 firefighters out of the iron gate of Chuanbei Middle School.

Zhang Zhengyang looked at Jiang Chen standing in the bus, a kind smile spreading across his serious, square face, and nodded to Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen nodded slightly in response to Captain Zhang.

Sometimes, men don't need words.

With just a nod or a pat on the shoulder, they understood each other's meaning.

Wang Jinchuan held Xiang Xiaonan's hand tightly, smiling and waving at the bus.

Xiang Xiaonan had a gentle smile on her face.

She genuinely liked these girls and admired Jiang Chen, this young man who, despite his young age, could shoulder everything and lead the girls to survive well in the world of road survival.

Lin Wanfeng then took out the family photo and called out to Bai Nuonuo:

"Nuonuo! If you survive, I'll introduce you to my daughter!"

Bai Nuonuo rolled down the car window, waved her little hand vigorously, and the tuft of hair on her head swayed happily back and forth:

"Sister Wanfeng, Nuonuo remembers! If we survive, we will definitely come back to see you!"

Immediately afterwards, the principal and teachers came out, waving at the bus and shouting in heavy Wenchuan accents.

"Come back and visit often if you have the chance!"

"We, the entire staff of Chuanbei Middle School, will remember you!"

"If you come back, we'll treat you to the most authentic Mianchi tofu, potato cakes, and the Qiang people's bountiful harvest!"

Goodbye!

"Have a safe trip, kids!"...

As the girls looked at the firefighters and teachers at the school gate and listened to the teachers speaking with a Sichuan accent, they all leaned against the car windows and waved vigorously in response.

The girls' faces were full of happy and excited smiles, but of course, there was also a bit of reluctance.

At this moment, no one would think of the firefighters and the teachers and students of Chuanbei Middle School as cold, impersonal 'NPCs'.

They are all living, breathing people...

They are all Chinese compatriots born and raised on this land.

The bus drove into the red portal, which then closed completely and disappeared.

...

It was still that same highway, the sky was still clear, and the surrounding area was still deserted farmland.

A four-story bus is traveling on the highway.

The automatic Gatling gun on the roof immediately began firing at the surrounding zombies.

Survival coins flew towards the coin collector on the roof of the car with a "whoosh".

Inside the bus, the electronic clock displays the following time:

8:06

The lively atmosphere in the car returned.

Why do I say that?

Because Lan Xingyao made another lewd joke...

Lan Xingyao slumped into the chair and stretched out a big yawn:

"Ah~! It feels like this dungeon has been going on for ages, I've been holding back for so long... it's making me uncomfortable..."

"Without saying anything, I'll start by singing!"

"Digging and digging and digging in the little garden!"

*Smack!*

Lan Xingwan slapped her older sister on the head in annoyance:

"Hey sis... things had only just calmed down for a short while, and you're at it again?"

"You're such a pervert! The sports committee member is watching!"

Lan Xingyao's eyes lit up, and she grinned mischievously:

"Oh? That's great! I'm even happier!"

(✧▽✧)

Lan Xingwan: ? ? ?

Girls: ? ? ?

Jiang Chen: (⊙ˍ⊙)！ ！ ！

"Still Baihu..."

"Okay, okay!"

After Jiang Chen had seen enough, he clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention:

"Alright, stop fooling around. Everyone, put on the 'People's Player' title first."

"Next, get ready to open our D-rank and S-rank treasure chests!"

But as soon as Jiang Chen finished speaking, a server-wide announcement rang out.
