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

Jiang Chen stopped and gently tightened his grip on the katana with his left hand as he looked at the elderly people and children who had gathered around.

But he wasn't too worried.

The system says we can't harm NPCs, so does that mean these NPCs don't have any ill intentions towards us or the girls?

Otherwise, if the NPC really launches an attack, wouldn't we be left with no choice but to passively take the hits?

Jiang Chen felt that the system wouldn't be so unreasonable.

Despite thinking this way, Jiang Chen still didn't let his guard down.

That's why he gripped the katana tightly, ready to act at any moment.

While you can't harm NPCs, you can still block their attacks.

Moreover, none of these NPCs have a core attribute score of more than 20, and even the children's scores are less than 10.

Jiang Chen's shield can withstand 446 points of damage, so he's really not afraid of these NPCs doing anything outrageous.

It has to be said that Jiang Chen's shield is really quite reassuring.

Although the group of elderly people and children surrounded Jiang Chen and his group, they stood at a distance and did not rush forward.

The elderly are all native Chinese, while the children are of mixed race or Chinese descent.

The elderly people were whispering, their voices choked with sobs. They were speaking Persian, but when it reached Jiang Chen and his group, the system translated it into Chinese.

"Honey... my eyesight isn't very good, but are those 'People's Players' signs above the players' heads?"

"Yes...yes, it's 'The People's Player'!"

"Those young people sent by China left less than two months ago, right? I didn't expect... to see that title again so soon!"

"Quick! Get all the food out! These kids must be starving!"

The elderly people suddenly scattered in a swarm; some pushed open the wooden doors of the building and slowly went inside, while others walked away with faltering steps.

Now only the children are left...

Most of the children are of Chinese descent, with a small number being of mixed Chinese and Chinese descent.

The children didn't seem afraid of Jiang Chen and his group of strangers; in fact, they smiled at them.

One by one, the white doves landed back on the cement ground, landing on the children's shoulders.

The white doves didn't seem afraid of children and the elderly, but they kept a distance from Jiang Chen and his group.

The girls were all a little stunned when they saw this:

"Those elderly people... just left like that? And... just left these lovely children alone like that? Aren't they afraid we're bad people?"

"The old folks seem to be saying...they're going back to get food? Are they trying to sell us food because they see we're players?"

"That's possible! And they seem to have a really strong reaction to our nickname..."

Jiang Chen looked at the children who were standing there grinning at him, and gently touched his chin.

Lu Wanzhou's delicate rose scent, mixed with her gentle breath, drifted softly to Jiang Chen's ear.

Jiang Chen's ears were itchy...

Haji's voice rang in Jiang Chen's ears:

"Xiao Chen, I checked. The elderly people have all gone back into their houses. It seems they're all packing up food or something..."

Jiang Chen nodded:

"They're probably preparing to make a deal with us."

Ruan Ningshuang walked towards Jiang Chen.

A white dove landed on her right arm, and she walked to Jiang Chen's side holding the dove.

The girls stared wide-eyed, envious at the white dove on Ruan Ningshuang's arm.

They wanted to touch it, but were afraid of scaring the white dove away...

Especially Bai Nuonuo, who was in the encirclement, would have followed Ning Shuang's footsteps if Jiang Chen hadn't told her not to wander around. She would have gently touched the white dove's feathers as she walked.

Wang Wushuang stood beside Jiang Chen, gazing intently at the pure white dove.

She couldn't resist and reached out to touch it twice.

This white dove seemed unafraid of people at all, allowing Wang Wushuang to stroke it and even rubbing against his palm.

Ruan Ningshuang felt her arm was a little tired, so she tilted her arm slightly toward Wang Wushuang's palm.

The white dove then landed on Wang Wushuang's palm.

Ruan Ningshuang then crossed her arms over her chest, the slit in her cheongsam swaying slightly with her movements, revealing her white thighs.

As Ruan Ningshuang and Jiang Chen analyzed the situation, their tone remained icy:

"Sports Commission, this city is a bit strange..."

"There are no young or middle-aged men here..."

Jiang Chen stroked his chin and nodded slightly.

He had just discovered through Wu Maiduo's "Full Vision" that from the moment he entered White Dove City until now, surrounded by old people and children, he had not seen a single young or middle-aged man.

Even young and middle-aged women were not seen.

We can't all just stand there on the overpass, can we?

Suddenly, a little girl mustered her courage and, with her short legs, walked towards Jiang Chen.

She had her hair in two buns, wore a cute pink dress, and had white doves perched on both shoulders.

Not only her, but all the children had one or two white doves perched on their shoulders.

Seeing that Jiang Chen and the others meant no harm, the white doves flew back, leaving the children's feet surrounded by white doves.

The white pigeons were pecking at some scraps.

These scraps were torn off by the children from a piece of white steamed bun.

Some children even feed the pigeons dried corn.

It seems that humans and white doves can now coexist peacefully in White Dove City.

Hazard must have put in a lot of effort!

A little girl in a pink dress walked up to Jiang Chen, tilted her head up, and timidly spoke:

"Big...big brother...is my older brother...coming back today?"

As soon as the little girl spoke, the surrounding children could no longer contain themselves and began to ask questions one after another:

"Brother and sister, has the zombie horde been dealt with?"

"Brothers and sisters, is our father on his way home?"

"Brother and sister, do you want some steamed buns? Here, Grandma said you're good people."

The children's voices did not frighten the white doves on the ground.

The white doves continued to search for crumbs of steamed buns, corn kernels, and grains.

The girls looked at the group of children who had gathered around them and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Moreover, they couldn't answer any of the questions the children asked.

But Jiang Chen had already sensed that something was wrong.

A horde of zombies, a woman in a red wedding dress, a city of white doves devoid of young and strong men, and the expectant eyes of children.

He turned his head and looked through the fully open city wall and gate at the group of women in red at the entrance of the overpass.

They remained standing there quietly, watching the white mist.

The red dress fluttered in the wind, revealing a plain white dress underneath.

Jiang Chen suddenly had a bad feeling, and a strange sadness welled up in his heart.

These children look somewhat like Hazard and his teammates when they were young.

Fortunately, the children all had their limbs intact, and their clothes were clean.

next moment!

A small flock of white doves took flight from all around.

The sound of hurried footsteps rang out.

The elderly people, carrying steamed buns, rice noodles, corn, and other food, walked unsteadily toward Jiang Chen and the girls.

Their wrinkled faces were full of gratitude and smiles.

Many elderly people even had tears welling up in their cloudy eyes...
