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

17:50 PM.

Jiang Chen gently pushed open his bedroom door.

Tang Yan, the little koi fish, hadn't woken up yet; she didn't know when she had moved from one end of the bed to the other.

Her little white head drooped down from the foot of the bed.

She had already kicked the blanket off the bed.

She used the pillow as a blanket, tucking it between her legs...

The crucial point is that Tang Yan's koi fish clothes are still on the bedside table...

Tang Yan, the little koi fish, drooled as she happily talked in her sleep:

"Brother Jiang Chen...hehe, I...hehehe..."

"Treasure chest...hehehe..."

"108 wives...hehehe..."

As soon as Jiang Chen entered the room, he saw Tang Yan's bizarre sleeping posture and shook his head with a wry smile.

Do girls always move around a lot while sleeping?

Haji Zhou is a real troublemaker. Not only does she put her hands around randomly, but she also often hogs Jiang Chen's spot, leaving the tall Jiang Chen, who is over 1.8 meters tall, to huddle in the corner.

That wretched Haji-joo, she's definitely going to get a good beating tonight!

Jiang Chen gently placed their dinner on the bedside table, then lightly patted the little koi fish.

*Thud!*

Tang Yan, the little koi fish, didn't wake up. She scratched herself with her hand, turned over, and continued sleeping...

Jiang Chen had no other choice but to use the same method Ruan Ningshuang used to wake him up to wake Tang Yan, the little koi fish...

A moment later...

Tang Yan, the little koi, suddenly widened her eyes. She was surprised at first, but when she saw that it was Brother Jiang Chen, she breathed a sigh of relief. Then, she gave Brother Jiang Chen a small punch, feeling both angry and embarrassed.

Jiang Chen stood back by the bed, smiling as he looked at Tang Yan, the little koi fish:

"Awake? Then wash up and have dinner first. We'll be getting off the bus to fight zombies later, and you'll come with us."

Although Tang Yan, the little koi, couldn't speak, she quickly propped herself up and ran to the bathroom to wash up.

Jiang Chen stroked his chin, looking at the bathroom door:

"It seems that Little Koi is not a little foodie, but Hajizhou, Hajixue, and Ningshuang are all little foodies."

"And Teacher Wen is a huge foodie..."

"I wonder what kind of foodie my aunt is? After all, girls all love to snack..."

If Haji Zhou had heard Jiang Chen say this, Jiang Chen would definitely have gotten a beating for pulling his ear.

Hajiju would definitely curse while breathing heavily:

"You little brat, Xiao Chen! You're always looking for something better than what you have!"

Tang Yan, nicknamed "Little Koi," opened the bathroom door, her bare feet, not wearing white stockings, gently touching the floor. She shyly covered her body.

Jiang Chen picked up the Fufu cosplay outfit from the bedside table and handed it to the little red koi fish whose face was flushed:

"Wear this..."

Tang Yan, the little koi fish, took the clothes handed to her by Brother Jiang Chen and was about to turn around and go into the bathroom.

Jiang Chen sat on the bed and coughed softly a few times.

Tang Yan, the little koi, gently closed the bathroom door, clutching the clothes in her hands, completely unable to look at Jiang Chen.

Without a second thought, she put on the Fufu cosplay outfit right in front of Jiang Chen.

After all, she believed that this was her special CG, and showing it to Brother Jiang Chen would definitely be fine...

After Tang Yan finished dressing, Jiang Chen turned to look at the pillow that was half-soaked with Tang Yan's saliva and the blanket that Tang Yan had kicked to the ground.

Tang Yan, already dressed, followed Jiang Chen's gaze and looked around. She immediately touched her nose awkwardly, her bare feet, clad in white stockings, rolled up awkwardly on the floor.

"Brother Jiang Chen... um... can what I just did be considered compensation?"

Jiang Chen gently patted the side next to him:

"It's alright, would you like to sit down?"

Tang Yan, the little koi, immediately covered her face with her hands, her light blue eyes peeking at Jiang Chen through her fingers, and stammered an agreement:

"Do!"

Jiang Chen looked utterly bewildered: ???

He patted the mattress next to him again, this time with much more force, both amused and exasperated.

"Tang Yan...you're the whitest little koi in the whole car, please don't turn into the yellowest little koi..."

Tang Yan, the little koi, then realized she had misunderstood...

But I can't blame myself... After all, I had only recently increased my attributes, and then Xiao Chen woke me up...

Tang Yan, the little koi fish, sat near the bedside table, still a little disappointed, her lips slightly pouting:

"Okay... alright..."

Tang Yan, the little koi, has truly fallen in love with increasing her attributes.

Previously, she could only watch from obscure game sites, experiencing it firsthand without any real understanding. Now that she has, she understands:

"The real world is so much better!"

While lost in thought, Tang Yan, the little koi fish, picked up a can of beef. To avoid spilling the juices, she carefully opened the can and began feeding her brother Jiang Chen...

Jiang Chen also enjoyed being fed by Tang Yan, the little koi fish. Besides canned beef, there were also soft, fragrant little cakes—the kind that the guys on the Zhouba forum love the most...

But girls won't get to witness this display of affection.

...

Jiang Chen and Tang Yan had both eaten dinner. During the meal, Jiang Chen gave Tang Yan an extra meal, mainly to prevent her from consuming too much energy and to help her replenish her protein.

The time has come to 18:00

The system notification sounded precisely in all players' minds:

Night mode has arrived.

The number of zombies has increased significantly, and the probability of mutated zombies appearing has also increased.

[New mutant zombie - Jockey, new mutant zombie - Spitter.]

[New Mechanism: Players with talents and skills have a chance to mutate into [Awakened Zombies] upon death, randomly retaining their talents and skills.]

Between 18:00 PM and 20:00 PM, killing mutated zombies has a chance to spawn corresponding level wilderness chests on the road, unguarded by any zombies.

The speed of the million-strong zombie horde has increased to 20 km/h.

Players, please try your best to survive the night!

The sky on the horizon faded from orange-red to gray-blue, until only a thin, dark gold line struggled to remain, like the world slowly closing its eyes.

But as soon as the system notification sound ended, the last glimmer of light vanished, leaving only a thick, inky night.

The bus headlights, like lightsabers, pierced through the darkness, illuminating the road ahead.

Tonight was different from the night before; there were no fireflies emitting red light around, only complete darkness.

Only the two Gatling guns on the roof of the bus were frantically spitting out red flame bullets, the flashes of fire illuminating the surrounding grass and bushes.

Bullets rained down, tracing arcs through the air and landing around the bus.

Survival coins, glowing a crimson gold in the firelight, were flying rapidly towards the coin collector on the roof of the bus.

After the night mode was introduced, the number of survival coins increased significantly, several times more than the previous night. This should be due to the effectiveness of the "Money Piggy" mod.

Soon, due to the large number of zombies, the third Gatling gunner was also forced to work overtime.

More survival coins flew to the roof of the bus.

The bus stopped in place, and suddenly a C-level wilderness treasure chest appeared in front of it, followed by a second and a third.

Upon hearing the system's notification, Jiang Chen immediately decided to get out of the car and kill zombies. He wanted the girls to kill as many mutated zombies as possible before 20:00 PM.

Jiang Chen got up from the driver's seat and stood in front of the eager girls.

He directly activated the SS-level skill of the King of Life and Light, Dawn Sanctuary.
