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

The small trucks driving on the highway look brand new.

The bloodstains and scratches on the car were gone.

Even the broken car windows have been completely restored.

Li Muqing has already repaired the truck twice with survival coins.

They have used 10 of their survival coins, leaving them with only 13.

They have two more chances to repair the truck. If they use them all and haven't reached the finish line by then, they'll have to get out of the truck and run to the finish line.

With so many C-rank hunters chasing them, the consequences of losing their vehicles are predictable.

Gu Yu gripped the steering wheel tightly as C-rank hunters roared and pounced on him.

He saw in his rearview mirror that the black sedan was tailgating him, clearly trying to use the van to block the hunter zombies rushing towards them.

Gu Yu didn't have much of a solution; he couldn't exactly brake and slow down, could he?

Li Muqing's face grew paler and paler, and her chair was soaked in blood.

Although she casually swept most of the glass shards down with the curtains, a small portion remained embedded in the chair, which she had to remove one by one with her fingernails.

But she didn't have the time, because 16 C-rank hunters had gathered together and were launching attacks from all directions.

The small truck is about to merge into a U-shaped bend.

Gu Yu is already very skilled at maneuvering the small truck around corners.

Just as the small truck reached the middle of the U-turn and was about to exit the bend...

Li Muqing's ears suddenly twitched; she seemed to hear even more roars.

It seems to come from around the bend in the road.

As Li Muqing bled more and more, Gu Yu became enraged, his eyes bloodshot, wishing he could directly control the small truck to fly to the finish line.

Li Muqing suddenly shouted:

"Brother Yu! Be careful after you exit the bend! There might be more..."

Before she could finish speaking, just as the small truck rounded the bend, she saw about a dozen hunters rushing towards her on the straight road!

Gu Yu and Li Muqing's eyes widened in shock when they saw this.

Previously, only a few hunters would pounce at him sporadically, and Gu Yu could dodge them or simply run them over with his skills.

But now, 16 hunters are blocking the middle of the road. How are we supposed to get through?

Li Muqing clutched her five survival coins tightly and quickly reported the durability to Brother Yu:

"We still have 94 durability left!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yu slammed on the gas pedal and yelled at Li Muqing:

"Mu Qing! Hold on tight and protect your head!"

Upon hearing this, Li Muqing was worried about how Yu Ge, who was driving with both hands, would protect his head, but she instinctively chose to believe him.

Li Muqing used her left hand to protect her head and her right hand to grip the handle above her head.

Gu Yu felt it wasn't safe enough, so he grabbed the curtains he was using to cover Li Muqing and draped them over her.

The windshield might break later, and he wanted to avoid shards of glass cutting Mu Qing.

Gu Yu still wasn't satisfied.

He gripped the steering wheel with his left hand and stretched his right hand out in front of Li Muqing's head, spreading his five fingers and protecting her head with his palm facing outward.

Although not a large amount of glass shards would fly out after the windshield shattered, Gu Yu dared not gamble for safety reasons.

He would rather suffer more injuries himself than let Mu Qing suffer even the slightest harm!

His woman! He must protect her with all his might!

Gu Yu had a rough idea that these dozen or so hunters were the ones who came back to find him after the previous group of players had cleared the level.

He wanted to run them over at full speed.

The truck is still quite durable, and we have two more repair opportunities. We can make it through!

We have to pull through!

Once this wave is over, the hunters will only be able to chase from behind, and will no longer be able to surround and block them from the front.

The next moment! The 16 hunters in front of the road simultaneously let out a piercing roar.

Sixteen hunters pounced on the small truck together!

'Bang!'

*Pfft!*

*Snap!*

Some hunters were smashed directly into the windshield and thrown into the air.

Some were directly dragged under the car.

One of them lunged too hard and crashed directly into the car.

But there was a hunter lying on the roof of the pickup truck.

After a bumpy ride, the truck was covered in dark brown blood, as if it had just been driven out of a pool of blood.

Dark brown blood mixed with internal organs and limbs slid down.

In the driver's seat, the windshield, which Li Muqing had drawn with the word "home," developed cracks that stopped at the "small truck" and "two stick figures."

The wild chrysanthemums used for decoration have somehow fallen off.

The truck's durability instantly dropped to 11!

The moment the windshield cracked, Gu Yu only had time to turn his head to the side, his right hand protecting Li Muqing tensing instantly.

As a result, several shards of glass were embedded in his arms and face.

At first, all you could see from the scratched area was a white line.

But soon, the scratch turned pink, then bright red, as blood seeped out, staining the glass shards in the wound pink.

Gu Yu's adrenaline surged at this moment, and he was unusually excited because he could not feel any pain.

He gripped the constantly shaking steering wheel tightly once more.

As he tightened his grip on the steering wheel, more blood dripped from the glass shards embedded in his skin.

While stabilizing the small truck, Gu Yu shouted anxiously to Li Muqing twice:

"Mu Qing!"

"Mu Qing! Are you alright?!"

Li Muqing lifted the curtain, which contained only a few scattered shards of glass, and shook it; the glass shards slid off under the seat.

Her first instinct wasn't to check if she was alright, but to turn her head and look at Yu Ge.

With just one glance, her eyes reddened.

Because she saw blood instantly seep from the wound on Yu Ge's face, gathering and dripping from the tip of his chin.

Meanwhile, blood was dripping continuously from Yu Ge's left forearm.

Li Muqing's voice trembled slightly, her face filled with heartache and anxiety:

"Yu...Brother Yu, you're injured!"

Li Muqing immediately searched for fabric that could stop Gu Yu's bleeding.

Gu Yu turned his head and spat out a mouthful of blood that had fallen into his mouth:

"Pooh!"

"It's okay! We won't die! At least we made it through!"

"Quick! Fix it first, I can't see the road!"

He squinted, only able to make out the road conditions through the shattered glass.

Li Muqing's eyes were red as she prepared to repair the small truck.

The next moment! A C-level hunter leaped from the roof of the car onto the hood in front of Li Muqing.

Upon seeing this, Gu Yu and Li Muqing's pupils contracted sharply! Their breath caught in their throats!

The hunter raised its right claw and slammed it into the windshield.

A C-rank hunter has an attack power of 25 points, and with this one swipe, it punched a large hole in the windshield.

Broken glass was scattered directly inside the car.

Li Muqing's eyes widened, and she could see through the large hole in the windshield that the hunter's scarlet eyes were staring intently at her.

But the opening is not large enough for it to enter.

So the hunter put his hands into the hole and began to tear at it forcefully.

"Creak—!"

"Creak—!!"

It doesn't care even if shards of glass pierce its fingers.

Its sole purpose is to get rid of the two fresh-blooded people inside the car!

Gu Yu quickly grabbed the dagger beside him and anxiously asked Li Muqing:

"Can it be fixed?!"

Li Muqing suppressed her fear and quickly tried to repair the vehicle through the interface.

But the system kept telling me:

[A foreign object was detected in the windshield; repair is not possible!]

[A foreign object was detected in the windshield; repair is not possible!]

The hole in the windshield was being torn wider and wider by the hunter.

Li Muqing could already smell the stench of decay emanating from the hunter zombie:

"No, Brother Yu! It can't be fixed!"
