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

When Dao Ge and the other two saw Li Muqing lying on the ground with her trousers hanging down, they all froze on the spot.

No wonder this kid refused to let go, even at the cost of his life.

So it wasn't for himself, but for this girl who lost her legs...

Dao Ge and his two companions couldn't help but feel a sense of guilt and admiration for Gu Yu.

The air was silent for a few seconds, except for the howls of the hunter zombies at the finish line, one after another.

A white-haired girl with pigtails sat on a tree trunk in front of the finish line, her hands playfully propped up on either side of her, her fingertips pointing upwards.

The wide sleeves of the red magic coat hung down, fluttering in the wind along with her white twin ponytails.

A pair of bare feet were elegantly crossed, and the jade-like toes swayed back and forth joyfully.

She was very happy and excited because a great show was about to begin!

Beneath the red fox mask, the girl, who had initially been watching the drama unfold, stopped shaking her feet when she saw Li Muqing fall off the small truck and make the sign for "home" towards Gu Yu.

A tear slid down her cheek.

The girl suddenly remembered her deaf older sister.

That silly, clumsy older sister who always protected her.

The girl's lips curled up slightly.

But it's okay!

My older sister has become her own audience!

Dao Ge looked at Li Muqing sitting on the ground, and then at Gu Yu, who was clenching his teeth and had red eyes.

Brother Dao closed his eyes, took a deep breath, then suddenly opened them and roared:

"Stop fucking looking! Do it! Fourth Brother's about to die!"

"We're just a bunch of worthless lives, if we die, we die! But the fourth brother still has an old mother to support!"

The second and third brothers exchanged a glance, gritted their teeth, and increased the force in their hands again.

From the time they traveled back in time until now, the fourth brother has saved the lives of all three of them.

If it weren't for the fourth brother, who had served in the military, the three of them would have died long ago.

What's more, Dao Ge and his two companions have lost their families and have no ties, so they live one day at a time.

He's dead, so be it. He was a rotten person anyway.

But the fourth brother absolutely cannot die!

He was a man who served his country.

He still has his elderly mother waiting for him to return.

He must survive!!

Dao Ge broke off another of Gu Yu's fingers and spat out each word through gritted teeth:

"I'm so sorry! My brother can't die!!"

Gu Yu let out a furious roar:

"Fuck you!!"

"Your brother can't die, but my girlfriend deserves to die?!"

Gu Yu struggled frantically, tilting his head back to try and bite the hand that was pressing down on him.

But the third car thief had anticipated this and immediately pressed down on Gu Yu's head with one hand.

Seeing Gu Yu still struggling, Brother Dao gritted his teeth, raised his right hand high, his palm forming a knife, and aimed it directly at Gu Yu's throat.

He knew very well that this area was a lethal point. If he really smashed it down with all his might, Gu Yu would suffocate and faint within seconds, and if he hit it harder, he could die directly!

At this moment, Brother Dao's eyes widened, his pupils contracted slightly, and his lips tightened.

The second and third brothers sighed softly after seeing Dao Ge's expression.

They both knew that Brother Dao was about to kill them!

There was no other way; the fourth brother had already started convulsing, his hands and feet flailing wildly. If he wasn't injected with the serum soon, he would turn into a zombie.

In Li Muqing's blurred vision, she could only see the three burly men still pinning down Brother Yu.

She wanted to climb over to help Yu Ge.

If you can't beat them, bite them!

He could just let one of the burly men hit him, and that way, Brother Yu would get away with a beating.

Li Muqing gritted her teeth, enduring the coldness in her body and the stinging pain in her hands, and crawled over with both hands.

Every path she crawled on left a trail of blood.

But she was too late; Dao Ge's chop was definitely faster than Li Muqing could crawl over!

Just as Brother Dao was about to swing his right hand down...

Suddenly! A huge, golden clock phantom unfolded beneath everyone's feet.

It's like a projector is projecting this clock onto the ground.

The golden clock was enormous, with a radius of 50 meters, engulfing Li Muqing, Gu Yu, Dao Ge, and Lao Si in the car.

The next moment, a deep bass and electronic drumbeats began.

The iconic intro to "Sweet Dreams" begins from all around, followed by a cool female voice singing the song softly.

...

"Sweet dreams are made of this~"

"Who am I to disagree~?"

...

Dao Ge's downward karate chop suddenly stopped in mid-air.

Inside the car, Lao Si's wildly waving hands and feet froze.

Because of his excessive struggle, shards of glass embedded themselves in Gu Yu's cheek, and the newly flowing drops of blood stopped on his cheek and did not slide down.

Except for Li Muqing, everyone's movements froze at this moment, as if they had been instantly frozen.

Even the hunter zombies gathered at the finish line froze in place, their mouths agape, still roaring.

You can clearly see the blackened fleshy strands between the teeth, and the white, lifeless worms in the mouth.

Li Muqing was stunned.

Because she discovered that all sound disappeared in that instant.

Even the blurry figures in front of them stopped moving.

It's a bit like a movie where time stands still...

"Oh dear! This crying and wailing is so boring!"

A crisp and playful voice suddenly drifted from behind Li Muqing.

Li Muqing turned her head with difficulty. Through her blurry vision, she could vaguely make out a girl with pigtails walking towards her with her hands behind her back.

Watching her nimble leap, it was like she was playing hopscotch.

She had long, white pigtails, a red fox mask on her face, and was hopping barefoot across the road, her pink toenails gleaming brightly in the sunlight.

The girl hopped on one foot, her unsteady body swaying, and landed right in front of Li Muqing.

She squatted down with her legs together, her toes playfully tapping the ground in time with the drumbeats.

She rested her chin on her right hand and held a gold chain in her left, from which a gold pocket watch swayed back and forth.

The girl looked down at Li Muqing, who was lying on the ground, and clicked her tongue twice:

"Your boyfriend is going to die~..."

"You're almost at your breaking point too~"

"Sister, you're so pitiful..."

"However, I bought you 30 seconds from death."

As she spoke, the girl flicked her left fingertips upwards, tossing the golden pocket watch into the air, where it was then firmly grasped by her left hand.

The girl flicked her left hand and opened the pocket watch with a "click".

The pocket watch contained only a single, ticking second hand.

Tick-tock—!

Tick-tock—!

[Time Slower] (Rank S)

[Active Effect: Consumes mental energy to temporarily slow down time by four weeks. The more mental energy consumed, the larger the area affected. The maximum duration is 30 seconds. The greater the difference in agility between the user and the target, the stronger the slowing effect. If the user's agility is less than or equal to the target's agility, the time slowing is ineffective.]

Upon hearing the girl's words, Li Muqing, who was lying on the ground, suddenly contracted her reddened pupils.

Tears continued to well up in my eyes, but instead of falling, they gathered in front of my eyes.

She suddenly looked up at the masked girl in front of her.

Li Muqing knew that this girl must have the ability to save Yu Ge, otherwise she wouldn't have taken action for her.

Although Li Muqing had never come into contact with any high-level props, she knew very well that this girl must be very powerful to be able to use a prop that could stop time!

Without the slightest hesitation, Li Muqing immediately pleaded:

"I'll do anything to keep Yu-ge alive!"

The girl with pigtails chuckled, gently lifting Li Muqing's chin with her right hand, her thumb and forefinger playfully pinching Li Muqing's cheek:

"Sister~! Really... you'll do anything~?!"

Hehe~!

"Oh my gosh! You're so beautiful, sister!"

"Even though I have injuries on my face and physical disabilities, I like it even more!! Hahahaha~!"

What Li Muqing didn't see was that a blush had appeared on the girl's cheeks under the fox mask.

Li Muqing shook her head and shook off the girl's hand. She forced herself to sit up, her hands supporting her body. Two bright red handprints were left on the road.

She gritted her teeth, squinted to see the girl in front of her clearly, and said urgently with a serious expression.

"Hurry up!!"

The girl was pleased with Li Muqing's expression. She reached behind her and casually tossed the contract and zombie serum in front of Li Muqing.

"Here you go! Just sign your name!"

"You used serum too!"

The girl rested her chin on her right hand and gently tucked a stray strand of Li Muqing's hair behind her ear with her left:

"Relax~ Beautiful older sister~".

"I'll help you keep your little boyfriend~"

Without a second thought, Li Muqing grabbed the contract.
