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

Gu Yu drove the small truck across the finish line with great speed, but the speed did not decrease at all. Instead, it continued to rush towards the wooden crates in the distance.

The system notification sounded in Gu Yu and Li Muqing's minds:

Team 00520, driving a Tier 1 vehicle - the Wuling pickup truck, has cleared the dungeon and is ranked third!

The dungeon has been cleared, and the [Rank C Treasure Chest] has been delivered to your inventory.

Gu Yu doesn't care about C-grade treasure chests at all now!

He just wanted Mu Qing to be well.

Immediately afterwards, the system notification sounded again:

Team 56547, driving a Tier 1 vehicle - a black Cadillac sedan, has cleared the dungeon and is ranked fourth!

Gu Yu slammed on the brakes, and the small truck came to a sudden stop three or four meters in front of the wooden box. The tires screeched against the ground, making a piercing, sharp sound, like scraping glass with the tip of a key, and a burnt smell wafted up.

Before the car had even come to a complete stop, he unbuckled his seatbelt, yanked open the car door, and jumped out. He stumbled as his feet landed and fell flat on his face.

Gu Yu scrambled to his feet and rushed toward the wooden crate.

Li Muqing was completely weak at this moment, and could only watch with blurry eyes as Yu Ge anxiously ran towards the wooden box. She was as if she had become nearsighted.

As soon as Gu Yu approached the wooden box, he saw the tube of emerald green serum lying on top of it.

Gu Yu grabbed the serum in his hand and turned to run towards Li Muqing's car door.

He screamed wildly in his heart:

I got it.

I finally got it.

Mu Qing is saved!

But the next moment! Gu Yu saw the black sedan brake abruptly behind the truck, accompanied by a screeching sound.

All three doors of the car were smashed open at the same time.

Brother Dao, the second brother, and the third brother headed straight for Gu Yu.

Gu Yu couldn't worry about anything else; he just injected Mu Qing with the serum first.

He ran straight to Li Muqing's car door.

As soon as Gu Yu put his left hand on the handlebars, he felt dizzy and then his head started to ache.

He then realized that he had been tackled.

The person pressing down on him was Brother Dao.

The second and third brothers flanked Gu Yu from both sides, pinning him down as he tried to resist.

Feeling himself being held down, Gu Yu gripped the serum tightly with both hands, protecting it in his arms, and roared:

"Get the fuck out of here!!"

The three men, including Dao Ge, did not intend to harm Gu Yu; they simply wanted to steal the serum.

After the second and third brothers had pinned Gu Yu down, Brother Dao reached out and grabbed Gu Yu's fingers, trying to pry them open.

"Brother, I'm sorry."

"We brothers are counting on this to save our lives. We owe you a favor, and we'll pay you back however many survival coins you need later!"

Li Muqing saw Yu Ge being pressed to the ground in the car, and her left hand trembled as she reached for the seatbelt buckle.

The zombie virus had already eroded her vision; things in front of her were flashing in and out of focus, and her trembling hands couldn't press the right button no matter how many times she tried.

Gu Yu, pinned to the ground, gritted his teeth and remained silent, the veins on his forearms bulging as he gripped the syringe tightly.

He just won't let go, he won't let go even if it kills him!

This is Mu Qing's fate.

I'll fight anyone who messes with me!

The second brother was sweating profusely with anxiety. He glanced back at the fourth brother, who was lying unconscious in the car with his eyes closed, and shouted to Brother Dao:

"Brother Dao! There's really no time!"

"The fourth one is almost silent!"

Dao Ge stared at Gu Yu's clenched fists, his brows furrowed, his eyes widened suddenly, and a murderous intent flashed in them:

"Brother, I'm sorry!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Brother Dao grabbed Gu Yu's fingers and twisted them with all his might.

*Snap!*

"Well--!"

Gu Yu groaned, his face turning pale instantly, his brows furrowing as excruciating pain shot through his fractured fingers.

But he clenched his other fingers even tighter.

His body struggled incessantly, his face contorted in rage, his eyes bloodshot, as he roared in fury:

"Fuck your mother!!"

At this moment, Gu Yu's expression was that of a trapped beast driven to the brink of despair.

It's like the expression on Eren's face before he transformed into a Titan when he was trapped under the rubble in the first season of Attack on Titan.

All that's missing is a bright yellow lightning bolt falling from the sky!

The second and third brothers gritted their teeth, and could only barely hold down the frantically struggling Gu Yu by using their body weight.

They had no idea where this seemingly thin boy got his strength from, that even the two strong men could barely hold him down.

This kid seems even more ruthless than those born in prison!

Dao Ge continued to break Gu Yu's fingers.

Gu Yu wasn't idle either; he bit Dao Ge's arm directly.

Blood splattered onto Gu Yu's face instantly, making him look even more ferocious and terrifying.

But Brother Dao was no pushover either. He let Gu Yu bite him without uttering a sound and continued to break off the remaining fingers of Gu Yu.

Every finger is connected to the heart, and with each finger broken, Gu Yu let out a suppressed groan of pain.

The two sides remained deadlocked.

Only by completely breaking Gu Yu's fingers can this stalemate be broken, and only then can Brother Dao steal the serum.

After finally managing to unbuckle her seatbelt, Li Muqing could make out through her blurry eyes that Gu Yu was being pinned down by three prisoners, and she could hear the sounds of bones cracking and Gu Yu's muffled groans.

Li Muqing's eyes instantly reddened, she gritted her teeth, pushed open the car door, and tumbled out of the car.

She didn't want Yu Ge to get hurt because of her, a girl who couldn't take care of herself.

She would rather get hurt herself than let Yu Ge get hurt.

She didn't want Yu Ge to be bullied.

As long as I don't need the serum anymore, then Brother Yu won't be bullied!

Gu Yu and Dao Ge were locked in a stalemate when a muffled thud suddenly came from behind them.

Gu Yu was startled, his pupils contracted, and he looked sharply at Li Muqing's car door.

Dao Ge and the others were also taken aback and turned to look behind them.

Li Muqing pushed open the car door at some point, rolled off the seat, and fell heavily to the ground.

She has no legs and can't even stand up; she can only lie on the ground.

The fall caused the skin on the palms of the hands that were supporting the ground to be scraped raw, and the wounds were filled with sand and gravel.

Despite the pain in her hands, Li Muqing, whose body was ice-cold, struggled to sit up and sit on the ground.

Her bloodshot eyes vaguely made out the figures of Brother Dao and the others.

Because she couldn't see the things in front of her clearly, she could only judge that Brother Yu was there from among a group of people.

Li Muqing burst into tears, enduring the sharp pain in her throat, and managed to utter a few words:

"Yu... Brother Yu..."

"I...no...I don't want it anymore..."

After saying that, she raised her hands with trembling hands, straightened her fingers, and slowly touched the pads of her ten fingers together in front of her chest, forming the shape of a small house.

Li Muqing cried out in sign language, tears streaming down her face and gathering at her chin.

"I...I..."

"I want to...go home..."

"Home!"

This is the sign language for "home" that Yu Ge taught her.

She remembers it very clearly.

Gu Yu's tears fell on the spot.

Self-blame, anger, helplessness, and regret constantly shifted across his face.

His bloodshot eyes were fixed on the 'house' in front of Li Muqing.

That was their little home...

A happy little family...
