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

Jiang Chen nodded slightly, without urging him.

He also wanted to know how Hazar and his men had built White Dove City.

Hazar crouched down, picked up a roll of red silk, and walked towards the wooden poles as she spoke, with pigeons following her steps.

Under each wooden pole, an extra roll of white silk was prepared.

Throughout the entire conversation, Azar spoke in a cheerful tone, sharing with Jiang Chen and the others the interesting stories that occurred during the period when the City of Ceasefire was transformed into the City of White Doves.

She hid all the sad things in it.

The white doves obediently hung the red ribbons one by one on the wooden poles.

Jiang Chen and the girls listened quietly the whole time.

After Jiang Chen and the others left, Azar and his group began to move the rubble and build their own little home on the city of peace.

It was around that time that Hazard found a talent awakening book in the arms of a corpse and awakened the talent [Peace Dove].

Soon, news spread that the city was free of zombies and untouched by artillery fire, and civilians from all around flocked to it. Under the leadership of Azar and his men, they began to unite.

Afterwards, China dispatched peacekeeping troops and volunteers to help rebuild homes and brought more civilians to White Dove City for refuge.

The civilians, together with the troops and volunteers sent by China, worked together to rebuild their homes, and White Dove City was rebuilt in just two months.

The Chinese peacekeeping force still has missions to fulfill and has to leave.

Among the volunteers, most developed an affection for White Dove City and stayed to protect it.

They stayed there for five years, and many of them got married and had children in the city.

Not long after, a million-strong zombie horde broke out on the Langyi border. The men in the city went to the front line without hesitation, because if the zombie horde broke through the defense line, then White Dove City, which was close to the border, would not be able to be defended.

The men would be gone for a whole year.

Today is the day we agreed upon to return to the city from the front lines and rest for a day.

This explains the scene of women throughout the city wearing red wedding dresses, going out to welcome their beloved or husband home.

Hazard briefly recounted her experience, maintaining a smile throughout and speaking in a cheerful tone.

Jiang Chen watched Hazard's changing expressions intently throughout.

Jiang Chen could see that although Hazard was talking happily and her story was very interesting, he still caught the sadness in her eyes.

Moreover, before Hazard awakened her talent, her lips would curl into a wide smile when she talked about the other children's funny stories.

However, in the stories after she awakened her talent, we no longer heard her mention the children. Although she still maintained a smile, the corners of her mouth drooped slightly...

Jiang Chen had already guessed what was going on; the children were probably all gone...

The pregnant woman wasn't mentioned by Hazard at all during the entire interview, presumably because...

The girls also pursed their lips. Looking at Hazard's happy expression, they suddenly felt a pang of heartache.

Bai Nuonuo hugged the teddy bear even tighter.

Wu Maiduo gripped the gun barrel tightly.

Tang Yan gently wiped the corner of her eye.

Hazard seemed to sense that something was wrong.

She stood by the city wall, gently touching the fattest white dove with her left hand.

Below the city wall are the only remaining elderly people and children in White Dove City.

The group of elderly people and children all looked at the woman in red at the entrance of the overpass.

White doves covered the black overpass and landed beside the woman in red.

Hazard turned around with a smile, extending his left arm in front of Jiang Chen.

She lowered her head and bit her sleeve, slowly pulling it up to reveal her full name.

Hazard loosened his sleeves, took a deep breath, and said with a smile:

Are Jiang Chen's brothers and sisters worried about them?

"It's okay, they're all free now, they don't have to worry about never growing up anymore..."

When Hazard said this, his smile became more pronounced, but it was a forced smile.

Her eyes were clearly glistening with tears, her throat was sore and her voice was choked with sobs, but she managed to suppress them by sniffling.

But when the girls heard this news, they all fell silent.

They dared not imagine how difficult Hazard's journey had been, nor could they understand why he could still maintain a smile when recalling this sad period.

Because when people are extremely sad, they often can't cry, and might even laugh...

But the happier he laughed, the sadder he felt inside.

next moment!

A yellow light appeared in the gray-white mist in the distance beyond the viaduct.

Jiang Chen and the girls all looked over.

Although no one knew these men heading to the border, that didn't stop everyone from hoping they would return safely.

Upon seeing this, the children at the city gate raised countless little hands and waved towards the light.

They jumped and shouted with joy:

"Look, look! Those are car headlights, right?!"

"My dad's coming home!"

"My older brother must be there too!!!"

At the entrance to the overpass, the woman in red stood quietly, her eyes fixed on the light that was getting closer and closer through the mist.

They had waited a whole year for this moment!

Today, they also wore this red dress that symbolizes joy, just like they did a year ago when they were sent to the front lines.

Soon, more and more vehicle lights appeared in the fog, and the outlines of the troop carriers became increasingly clear in the gray-white fog. The roar of engines and the sound of wheels rubbing against the ground gradually rose up.

But as the first troop carrier burst out of the fog, there was no father or brother on board, only a vehicle full of corpses wrapped in white cloth.

More and more troop carriers emerged from the fog, and more and more corpses wrapped in white cloth came into view.

There was no father or brother left; all the troop transports were carrying corpses wrapped in white sheets.

The children's cheers stopped.

The cooing of the pigeons also stopped.

Even the wind has disappeared.

The red ribbon thus fell down.

Tears welled up in the woman's eyes, streamed down her cheeks, gathered at the tip of her chin, and then dripped to the ground, splashing up like a transparent flower.

The scene was just like the farewell to the men who went to the front lines a year ago; the woman in the red dress was also covered in tears.

The difference is that last time it was worry, but this time it's grief.
