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

Lu Wanzhou held the S-grade dagger in her hand, looking up at Jiang Chen with her eyes slightly red.

She noticed that Lan Xingyao and Lan Xingwan both had S-rank exclusive weapons, Teacher Wen also had an S-rank exclusive weapon, and even her aunt had an exclusive weapon that suited her very well.

To say that I am not envious is a lie.

But Lu Wanzhou kept her envy to herself and didn't say it aloud.

She knew that Xiao Chen was already exhausted from leading the girls to survive.

She also knew that as long as she asked, Xiao Chen would definitely try his best to get her a weapon that was at least S-grade.

Lu Wanzhou didn't want to cause trouble for Xiao Chen, so she didn't say anything and continued to use the C-grade weapon.

But now she sees that Xiao Chen has brought her back an S-grade dagger, and this dagger is really suitable for her.

The key point is that Xiao Chen didn't even discuss it with the girls before handing it to her right in front of them.

This shows that... Xiao Chen has always had her in his heart.

Lu Wanzhou suddenly felt a soreness and stiffness in her throat, and her vision became somewhat blurred because of the little pearl.

She quickly raised her hand and wiped the corner of her eye; it was so fast that only Jiang Chen and her aunt could see it clearly.

The girls only saw Lu Wanzhou's left hand tremble slightly.

Lu Wanzhou happily played with the new weapon in her hand, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up, and she smiled very happily.

Just like the last time Xiaochen signed her wish coupon, and just like every time Xiaochen gives her a gift.

Whether it's small candies or various stockings and panties, Lu Wanzhou likes them all very much, and even carefully collects them.

Jiang Chen gently brushed Lu Wanzhou's nose, his tone immediately softening:

"like?!"

If Zi Ying could hear Jiang Chen's tone at this moment, she would probably be somewhat surprised:

"Dog-Shu-Kin-sama~ The tone you used when you were talking to me was so cold... But now you're talking to this girl so gently, it feels like you're two different people..."

Upon hearing Jiang Chen's words, Lu Wanzhou instinctively raised his head proudly, turned around and walked towards the girl, brandishing the dagger in his hand with his back to Jiang Chen as he went, also as a way of showing off to the girl:

"Hmph! You did a good job, I really like your Sister Lu!"

After saying that, Lu Wanzhou covered her mouth and chuckled, muttering to herself:

"Xiao Chen is so sweet! She's always thinking of me~, then she's not just stinky Xiao Chen anymore~, she's practically pig-headed Xiao Chen!"

"I have to repay Xiao Chen properly tonight! Hehe!"

This was what she truly felt, but she was used to being a little arrogant in front of Jiang Chen.

Others might not understand, but Jiang Chen and Ha Jizhou were so close that he knew she was actually very happy just by listening to her words.

If Hagi's affection level isn't full, it should increase quite a bit.

The girls started churning when they saw it, their voices full of envy:

"Oh my! As expected of the Empress, the Sports Committee really treats you well!"

"Ugh! More dog food! I'm doomed! If dog food could be exchanged for survival coins, we could probably achieve survival coin freedom!"

Tang Yan, the little koi fish, touched Ye Xiaoqi's dazed little head with her left hand and her own chin with her right, and nodded:

"I hereby declare! This S-rank dagger is the squad leader's signature weapon!"

Qin Hongkou had already put the [Sword of Thunder and Crown] back on her back.

She watched as Lu Wanzhou remained the same as before, always happy for a long time no matter what Xiao Chen gave her.

Other people giving gifts to Lu Wanzhou might not have the same effect.

Qin Hongkou smiled like an aunt, and muttered to herself:

"Even after transmigrating here, my wife and Xiao Chen's relationship is still so good! That's really great!"

Jiang Chen watched Lu Wanzhou walk away towards the girls, and seeing the chattering girls, he slowly walked over, feeling a sense of感慨 (gan3kai3, a complex emotion encompassing both admiration and reflection).

"The most dangerous part of this dungeon should be over. Everyone's still here, Hazard's alright, and Auntie's here too. That's great..."

Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel that his efforts had not been in vain.

Jiang Chen walked towards Hazar, wanting to ask where the other seven children were buried in White Dove City.

If the children weren't in White Dove City, wouldn't he be unable to complete his S-rank mission of singing "Amani" for them and offering them an olive branch?

Jiang Chen didn't believe the system would assign a task that was impossible to complete.

The girls consciously made way for Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen walked up to Hazard and said gently:

"Are you alright now?"

Hazard smiled and shook his head:

"Thanks to Brother Jiang Chen, and thanks to the sisters..."

"Hazard... on behalf of the people of White Dove City, thank you..."

As he spoke, Hazard knelt down before Jiang Chen.

She knew very well that if she really died, without the protection of the talent [Peace Dove], Dove City would definitely be bombed by missiles within ten minutes.

After the bombing, the Eagle Kingdom will definitely let the zombies harvest the elderly and children who have survived.

In that case, the tragedy of the city that sought to end war would be repeated...

Wouldn't all the efforts of those heroic martyrs have been in vain?

Jiang Chen reacted swiftly, catching Hazard who was kneeling down. He said coldly:

"Stand up! No kneeling!"

Hazard stared blankly up at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen gently lifted Hazard to her feet, helping her to stand up straight again.

"I saved you not so you would kneel before me."

"I saved you so that you would protect everyone in White Dove City."

Jiang Chen pointed to the name on Hazard's left arm:

"I saved you because I didn't want to let down the children's sacrifice."

Jiang Chen then pointed to the entrance of the overpass:

"I don't want to let down those who bravely rushed to the front lines."

Jiang Chen patted Hazard on the shoulder:

"Remember this: even in homes ravaged by war, there will come a day when flocks of white doves will fly again—today, and tomorrow!"

"Let's keep leading everyone and live well!"

Upon hearing this, Hazard was taken aback, her pupils visibly contracting. She raised her left hand to wipe her eyes, then nodded emphatically.

"I'll remember that, Brother Jiang Chen!"

Seeing that Hazard had taken his words to heart, Jiang Chen resumed his gentle smile:

"Alright, are your friends buried in the city? Can you take me to see them?"
