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

Jiang Chen has already deactivated all the active effects of his talents.

The black aura around him disappeared, and his pupils returned to normal.

Continuously activating all the active effects of your talents consumes a lot of mental energy.

Jiang Chen's anger had subsided considerably after the deaths of Li Cuilian and her son.

But the shield is still on your body, and it lasts for 5 minutes after it is released.

Even the girls had shields on them.

The SS-grade longsword - Calamity had dissipated. Jiang Chen, carrying the [Katana - Thunder], slowly walked towards the back door of the small truck.

He gave orders to the four zombie servants behind him who were well-fed and watered:

"This birth is auspicious."

The four zombie servants obediently surrounded Li Fan. They didn't understand what it meant to watch over him, so they just stood around Li Fan, looking down at him.

At that moment, Li Fan was so frightened that his legs went weak. He couldn't even stand up, let alone run away...

Jiang Chen had already roughly guessed the situation inside the carriage using the "Full Map Revealed" feature.

There are two zombies.

One of them is a D-rank [child zombie].

The other zombie made Jiang Chen frown slightly.

This was the first time Jiang Chen had ever seen a special mutated zombie; he guessed it was a variant of the witch.

【Name: The Baby-Holding Witch】

[Monster Type: Special Mutant Zombie]

[Grade: A]

【Core Attributes】

①Attack power: 120

② Physical condition: 80

③Defense: 60

④ Agility: 65

⑤ Mental Strength: 1 (Mental Breakdown)

⑥ Luck: 2

Weakness: Head

[Attack Method:]

1. Calm State: In this state, the baby-holding witch will only hold and comfort the infant zombies, and will not cry like a normal witch, nor will she attack proactively.

Even if you attack it, it won't attack you. But if you hurt the child zombie in its hands, it will enter a state of rage and let out a piercing scream.

2. Enraged State: Attack x2, Agility x2, locks onto the person attacking the child zombie and pursues them. The baby witch will not stop chasing unless the locked person dies.

[Method of elimination:]

1. Stealth Approach: Deals at least 140 damage to the head without being detected, potentially killing the target instantly, with a chance to trigger a critical hit.

2. Teamwork: One person attracts the enraged baby-holding witch's aggro and kites her, while the rest of the team focuses fire on her head.

3. Avoid attacking the infant zombies in the arms of the baby-holding witch in confined areas.

【describe:】

1. Before being infected, the baby-bearing witches are mostly women who have suffered severe psychological trauma or long-term mental depression, and who are extremely heartbroken to see their children turn into zombies.

2. The baby-bearing witch will only carry the infant zombies and walk aimlessly, comforting the infant zombies in her arms as she goes. As long as you don't attack the infant zombies in her arms, the baby-bearing witch is harmless.

3. The Baby-Holding Witch is a highly threatening, charging mutated zombie that the team must carefully avoid or prioritize targeting.

4. If you encounter a witch holding a baby, it is recommended to turn off all light sources and keep your distance to avoid her.

5. If you must kill it, make sure you don't hit the child zombie in its arms, then it won't attack you.

Jiang Chen thought this baby-bearing witch was a variant of witch.

He had previously encountered the mutated zombie [Witch] in the information about the A-level dungeon [Storm and Rain].

What puzzled Jiang Chen was that the mental strength of the zombies in the past was 0, but the mental strength of this witch holding a baby was 1.

Could it be that this zombie still retains a shred of humanity?

Jiang Chen shared the panel of the [Baby-Holding Witch] with the girls, including Wang Zhaodi.

He then walked to the back door of the truck, looked inside, and sure enough, it was just as he had expected.

The carriage was dark, with only light filtering through the cracks in the doors.

Liu Lan, now transformed into the Baby-Holding Witch, knelt on the cold sheet metal.

The baby-bearing witch had pale, inelastic skin, like a specimen that had been soaking for too long.

His black hair was disheveled and his eyes were scarlet.

Her fingernails suddenly turned into dark red claws, like ten rapiers glued to her fingers.

But she still wore that diamond wedding ring on the ring finger of her left hand.

Liu Lan was holding the infant zombie in her arms, gently rocking it, just like a mother lulling her child to sleep.

She was very careful, using only her palm to pat the baby each time, trying to avoid the dark red claws touching the child in her arms.

The infant zombie in her arms had two cute, crooked buns, and its hair was actually quite neat, obviously taken care of by someone.

What's shocking is that her hands and feet are gone.

Some of the breaks are very clean, as if they were cut by a sharp weapon.

Some of the fractures were jagged, with bone fragments exposed and dark red blood vessels dangling, clearly indicating that they had been forcibly twisted and torn off.

The child zombie was in Liu Lan's arms, biting directly at Liu Lan's chest.

From Jiang Chen and the girls' perspective outside the carriage, it looked like a child looking for its mother to nurse.

To the uninformed, one might mistake them for a loving mother and son.

Jiang Chen and the girl, who were in the nursing class, believed that the child zombie's hands and feet were man-made!

Moreover, Liu Lan's entire body was covered in purple bruises, with the most severe bruises on her face.

The bruises around her eyes were so bad that Liu Lan could barely open them.

Not to mention that leg that was hung up like a piece of cured meat...

Furthermore, given that Li Fan mentioned his wife was in the carriage, anyone with half a brain would know that Liu Lan had been sexually assaulted...

As Liu Lan gently patted her daughter's back, she managed to squeeze out a soft, yet hesitant, voice:

"Xixi...don't be afraid...you're hungry, aren't you? Come to Mommy..."

"Mom's here..."

"Mom...is always here!"

Liu Lan had only recently mutated and could still speak a little.

She seemed to notice the carriage door opening, and instinctively pulled Xi Xi into her arms, curling up in the darkest corner of the carriage.

Liu Lan turned around, using her thin back to block everyone's view and shield Xi Xi beneath her.

She turned her head, staring intently at everyone outside the car door with her scarlet eyes, letting out a hissing warning and intermittently pleading:

"Honey, please...please stop hitting me..."

"I was wrong... I was really wrong..."

"Hit me... but don't hit Xixi..."

"Don't hit me... Xixi..."

She is afraid.

A mother who has turned into a zombie is afraid that others will hurt her child.

And it's clear that Liu Lan is finding it increasingly difficult to speak in complete sentences.

The girls, standing outside the carriage, witnessed this scene and were both shocked and furious upon learning about the witch holding the baby's panel.

Shockingly, even after this mother became a zombie, her maternal love remained ingrained in her very being...

Protecting her daughter also became her instinct.

She won't attack you as long as you don't attack her daughter.

The zombie virus could infect her, but it could not erase her instincts as a mother.

What angered the girls was that Li Fan's birth not only exacerbated Liu Lan's anger, but he also didn't spare his own flesh and blood!

After realizing that no one had hurt her daughter, Liu Lan calmed down again and gently patted Xi Xi's back once more.

"Hoo... Hee hee... Hoo... Mom's here... Hehehe!"

Liu Lan wanted to say more comforting words, but all she could hear when she opened her mouth was a scream.

Wen Ruyan frowned upon seeing this scene.

She gripped the hem of her blue stepmother's dress tightly with her left hand, pressed her right hand against her chest, feeling as if her heart was being gripped by a hand, her eyes filled with unbearable pain and heartache.

Bai Nuonuo tightly hugged the teddy bear in her arms with her left hand, and gently tugged at Jiang Chen's clothes with her right hand. Her round eyes instantly filled with tears.

Looking at Liu Lan, who was covered in wounds but still gently protecting her daughter, she felt a lump in her throat, pursed her lips, and let her tuft of hair on her head droop listlessly.

Wang Zhaodi covered her mouth tightly with both hands.

She was deeply moved as she looked at the mother in front of her, who, even after turning into a zombie, was still doing everything she could to protect her daughter.

Growing up in a family that favored sons over daughters, she knew what it felt like to be beaten, and she often saw Li Cuilian being "exposed".

She knew all too well how much pain Liu Lan had endured that most people couldn't even imagine.

Even after turning into a zombie, the mother did not attack anyone; she simply instinctively held her daughter in her arms.

Wang Zhaodi had never experienced this kind of maternal love.

Her mother only beat her, scolded her, and treated her as a tool to make money.

But now, she has seen it with her own eyes and has been moved by it.

So... this is what a mother is like.

Even if Mom turns into a zombie, she'll still recognize you and protect you...

Lu Wanzhou's short pink hair fluttered slightly in the wind. She took deep breaths, and anger instantly ignited in her eyes.

She didn't say a word, but simply gripped the dagger in her hand tightly.

She was waiting for Xiao Chen's orders.

Jiang Chen glanced at Liu Lan's healed right leg wound and then recalled Li Fan's talent [Healing].

Jiang Chen guessed that Li Fan had cut off and torn off his daughter's hands and feet at birth, and also cut off Liu Lan's right leg, just so he could have a bite of meat.

Furthermore, Li Fan used his talent [Healing] to heal Liu Lan's wounds, preventing Liu Lan from bleeding to death and then having no meat to eat.

But he only healed Liu Lan, completely ignoring Xi Xi and letting her bleed to death.

Jiang Chen finally understood why Li Fan had hung two living zombies on either side of the truck.

This person was born to cover up the smell of blood in the carriage with the smell of zombies!

It seems that Li Fan is even older than Li Cuilian and her son!

Ruan Ningshuang crossed her arms with her right hand and gripped her traditional Chinese cheongsam tightly with her left. Her usually cold eyes were now filled with a rare hint of anger.

She shared the same thoughts as Jiang Chen and explained her analysis to the girls in detail.

After she finished speaking, she looked at Jiang Chen, wanting to hear his judgment.

Jiang Chen nodded expressionlessly and shared Li Fan's talent with the girls:

"This birth is like a cannibalistic act, devouring one's own family members."

As soon as Jiang Chen said this, the girls all gasped.

They had seen bloody scenes before and were used to them.

The fact that they could eat people... was still something they couldn't accept...

How wicked must one be to choose to eat their own family members?!

Lan Xingyao took several deep breaths:

"I'm completely numb! Another damn zombie disguised as a human!"

"Damn zombies, why do they always like to disguise themselves as humans?!"

Jiang Chen gently patted Lu Wanzhou's shoulder, his tone icy:

"Drag that one over here!"

Lu Wanzhou nodded and disappeared again.

The next moment, Li Fan screamed in agony; he was so terrified by the four zombies that he wet himself.

He was dragged over by Lu Wanzhou, who grabbed his broken right hand.

Even if Lu Wanzhou doesn't go looking for him, he can't escape.

With Wu Maiduo standing on the roof of the bus, Li Fan had no chance to escape.

Not to mention, Wu Maiduo also shared Li Fan's every move with Jiang Chen.

At this moment, Li Fan, who was being dragged towards the small truck, struggled and shouted:

"Don't pull me over! Don't pull me!"

"All I did was hit my wife! What man doesn't hit his wife?!"

"You women don't understand! She deserves to be beaten when she does something wrong!"

"So what if I hit her?! She's my wife!"

After Li Fan was dragged into the van by Lu Wanzhou, he looked up and saw Jiang Chen looking down at him. His pupils constricted sharply, his face filled with terror, and he became incoherent.

"No...don't kill me...I'll give you anything you want...survival coins...I have survival coins in my car...you can have them all..."

Lan Xingyao couldn't hold back and kicked Li Fan directly...

The intense pain made Li Fan shut up instantly.

He was hunched over, clutching his groin and rolling around on the ground.

Lan Xingyao spat at Li Fan, her blue hair fluttering in the wind, her face full of disgust:

"Pah! You idiot!"

"Kill you, and these supplies will be ours too!"

Lan Xingwan nodded vigorously next to her older sister.

She felt incredibly relieved that her older sister had kicked her!

I have to say, when my older sister gets serious, she's pretty reliable.

It would be even better if they didn't make any lewd jokes...

Jiang Chen looked down at Li Fan, who was rolling on the ground, and sneered:

"Since you enjoy eating people so much, your wife and daughter must be hungry too."

"Let them have something to eat too."

Jiang Chen, this is a notification, not a request.

Feeling unsatisfied, Lan Xingyao kicked Li Fan again, breaking his ribs.

She brushed the blue strands of hair from her forehead back and said in somewhat broken Cantonese:

"The most important thing for a family is to be together."

(For a family, the most important thing is to be together, all together.)

Before Li Fan could answer, Jiang Chen broke Li Fan's other arms and legs.

The sound of bones breaking was crisp and loud.

Li Fan lay paralyzed on the ground like a fish out of water, only able to twitch his torso slightly.

His face was covered in tears, snot, and blood; his lips trembled in pain, and his body shook violently.

Jiang Chen ordered the zombies to throw Li Fan, who was as lifeless as a dead pig, into the carriage.

Li Fan struggled to crawl out of the carriage, but his arms and legs were broken, so he could only crawl on the ground.

The moment Liu Lan saw Li Fan, her whole body tensed up, and she instinctively hugged Xi Xi even tighter.

When she recognized the human before her as the murderer who had harmed her daughter, she opened her mouth and let out a heart-wrenching scream:

"Aaaaaahh ...

The sound was so sharp it was like scratching glass with a fingernail.

The system notification exploded in Jiang Chen's and all the girls' minds:

[Baby-cuddling witch: Scream!]

You have disturbed the baby-bearing witch!

With Xi Xi in her left arm, Liu Lan extended her dark red claws toward Li Fan, dragging her left leg as she slowly approached him in a kneeling position.

Liu Lan's severed right leg rubbed against the metal inside the carriage, leaving a long, dark brown bloodstain.

When Li Fan saw his wife turn into a zombie, he was terrified and twisted his body toward the door as fast as he could.

He wanted to escape, but saw Jiang Chen deliberately and slowly close the carriage door.

Li Fan completely broke down, tears and snot streaming down his face, and he hysterically roared at Jiang Chen:

"You fucking devil! You're not human!"

Jiang Chen's lips curled into a cold smile:

"To deal with someone like you, I wish I were more devilish than the devil himself!"

Jiang Chen closed the carriage door and locked the latch.

"bump--!"

Li Fan's heart-wrenching screams echoed from inside the carriage.

Then came a series of sharp claws tearing through flesh.

*Pfft!*

*Pfft!*

Then came the soft nibbling sound.

Li Fan's screams grew weaker and weaker, and a few seconds later, he fell completely silent.

The only sound coming from inside the carriage was the monotonous munching sound, which was particularly jarring on the quiet highway.

All members of Team 24587 are dead.

The team's supplies have become unclaimed.

[You can retrieve it from its vehicle.]

Jiang Chen turned to Lu Wanzhou and whispered:

"Wanzhou, you're fast, keep an eye on things. I'm not sure if the enraged Baby-Holding Witch will attack us."

Lu Wanzhou held the black dagger and nodded.

Although the mother and daughter were in a terrible situation, she would not hesitate to take action if they dared to harm Xiaochen or her sisters.

After confirming that everyone still had their shields, Jiang Chen slowly opened the door of the compartment a crack.

(This is a large chapter; two chapters are combined into one.)
