Outside the bus.

Five Class C wilderness treasure chests have already appeared in front of the vehicle, all thanks to Gatling Master.

After Wen Ruyan led the girls to carry the treasure chest back to the bus, Jiang Chen began directing the girls to fight off the zombies swarming in from all sides.

Jiang Chen divided the girls into four groups, each guarding one of the four directions of the bus.

At the front of the bus were my aunt and Bai Nuonuo.

On the right are Ying Feixue, Lan Xingyao, and Yun Qianqian.

On the left are Wen Ruyan, Lan Xingwan, and Yan Xiaonuo.

Behind them were Wu Maiduo, Wang Wushuang, and the little female ghost Ye Xiaoqi.

Lu Wanzhou remained hidden, overseeing the overall situation and ready to provide assistance in any emergencies.

The remaining 32 girls were divided into four groups, each guarding one of the four directions of the bus.

Jiang Chen sat on the roof of the car, watching the show and enjoying the spectacle.

Jiang Chen's arrangement made sense; each direction had at least one capable and powerful general stationed there.

Jiang Chen looked at the girls who had already lined up under the car and nodded slightly.

Their positions weren't random; those with strong combat power stood at the front.

Those with slightly weaker combat strength formed two or three teams, so that when one person went forward to kill zombies, the other teammates could watch the surroundings for her.

After the girl killed the zombie, her teammates took over, allowing her to catch her breath for a bit. Then, the task of keeping watch on the surroundings naturally fell to her.

In this way, two or three people take turns attacking the zombies, and the formation remains relatively intact. This is not only efficient, but also allows them to rest and be vigilant about their surroundings, which is much better than rushing forward to kill zombies all at once.

This is what Jiang Chen taught the girls. Through mutual practice and cooperation, they have developed a lot of tacit understanding. Even without the high core attributes that Jiang Chen gave them, they would have no problem facing two or three hundred zombies.

These girls are completely different from when they first crossed the road; they have fully adapted to life and the environment of surviving on the highway.

The girls held their weapons, waiting quietly for the zombies to approach. There was no fear in their eyes, but rather excitement and anticipation. They were all eager to try and show off in front of Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen sat leisurely on the roof of the car, idly twirling the Golden Desert Eagle in his hand.

At this moment, he was like an emperor surrounded by a group of top beauties.

All he needs to do is rest and slack off; beautiful women will take care of everything for him...

Beside him, a beautiful woman with white hair was also nestled.

Tang Yan, the little koi, nestled in Jiang Chen's arms like a kitten.

Jiang Chen jumped onto the car roof with her in his arms...

Although I can't participate in the training camp for the time being, it's always good to observe and learn from it.

It's not that Jiang Chen is lusting after Tang Yan's koi-like body again.

He also had to keep an eye on the girls, and absolutely could not let them play around on the car roof with Tang Yan, the little koi, at this time.

However, Jiang Chen felt that it might be the right thing for him and Tang Yan, the little koi, not to participate in the battle.

What if the zombies just got close to me and Tang Yan, the little koi, and then started committing suicide again?

Are the girls still going to go? Or should they just watch the zombies commit suicide?

At this moment, Tang Yan, the little koi fish, lay blushing and happy in Jiang Chen's arms.

She was incredibly grateful that she had just gained an attribute boost, so now she had an excuse to be all lovey-dovey with Brother Jiang Chen, right?

But she wasn't lying; her legs were indeed sore and tired...

(Those who frequently boost their stats know that girls get tired too...)

Outside the [Dawn Sanctuary], all was pitch black, with countless red dots floating up and down, like fireflies emitting red light, slowly approaching the [Dawn Sanctuary] as if attracted to light.

Several pairs of fireflies were moving very fast.

Jiang Chen thought that this was very likely a hunter zombie.

Suddenly! A rustling sound came from all around the bus, and the zombies were approaching by stepping on the nearby weeds.

Countless roars surged towards the girls like a tidal wave.

Jiang Chen wasn't worried at all, because Wu Maiduo had already shared her vision with him.

There are only about 200-300 zombies in the vicinity, including 10 C-level mutated zombies and only 4 B-level mutated zombies.

Most of them were old buddies; Jiang Chen hadn't seen the newly added [Clown] and [Spitter] yet.

If players from other teams heard Jiang Chen's heartfelt words, they would definitely turn their heads and give him a piece of their mind:

"No? What do you mean there are only 200-300 zombies?!"

"Translate this for me, what do you mean by only 200-300 zombies?!"

"Answer me! Hmm—?"

Jiang Chen ignored the group of players and gently patted the roof of the bus:

"Prepare for battle!"

"Now it's up to you guys; you won't be able to rest until 8 PM!"

"Good news! We can eat fruit at 9 o'clock!"

As soon as Jiang Chen finished speaking, the girls raised their weapons and cheered!

At this point, their strength far surpassed that of the zombies, so they no longer made a fuss about keeping quiet.

They wish there were more zombies so they could get more survival coins and wilderness treasure chests!

next moment!

Two fields are being developed simultaneously!

[Because I'm afraid of pain, I maxed out my defense], domain expanded!

[Winter Plum], the domain expands!

*Thud!*

*Thud!*

Ruan Ningshuang and Teacher Wen snapped their fingers at the same time.

A pale yellow shield suddenly appeared around Jiang Chen and the girls. This shield could withstand 181 points of damage!

Immediately afterwards, the temperature around us suddenly dropped significantly.

Snowflakes mixed with pale pink plum blossoms drifted down from the sky.

Jiang Chen and the girls' attack power instantly increased by 200!

Tang Yan's eyes lit up, and she suddenly stood up from Jiang Chen's arms.

She kept turning her head to look at the class representative standing on the right side of the bus and Teacher Wen on the left, clapping her hands and saying incredulously:

"I just can't understand how Teacher Wen and the class representative managed to choose to start working on their respective fields at the same time without any verbal communication whatsoever?"

As Tang Yan, the little koi fish, was talking, she suddenly started clapping along to the beat of "AIZO-KingGnu" and began singing a cappella:

"LUV ME~! LUV ME~!"

"HATE ME~! HATE ME~!"

As Tang Yan, the little koi, sang her beautiful a cappella, countless zombies began to step into Jiang Chen's domain—[Dawn Sanctuary]—from all directions through the darkness.

But as soon as the zombies stepped into the area, they all froze for a moment.

Because they saw this terrifying scene:

A menacing black steel behemoth was parked in the middle of the road.

Countless snowflakes and plum blossoms drifted around the black steel behemoth, while golden light shone upon it.

The black steel behemoth was surrounded by girls wielding weapons and wearing shields.

There was a red-haired girl with a high ponytail, leaning on an SS-class black greatsword and grinning as she looked at them.

There is a teacher who carries an adorable S-rank pink and blue round shield, yet is determined to protect his students even at the cost of his life.

He held an S-grade black and red spear, tilted his head back to look down on the zombies, and recalled the short-haired Valkyrie that Song An'an and the others had encountered.

There were also two blue-haired girls holding S-class scepters.

One of the blue-haired girls was carrying a scepter, her face full of excitement, like a wolf seeing a flock of sheep.

The other blue-haired girl instantly switched to a fighting expression, thinking about how to make a good impression on someone.

Not to mention the terrifying presence sitting casually on the roof of the car, who exudes the aura of a "Zombie King" and a "King of Life and Light"!

If zombies could talk, they'd probably point to their own noses, looking completely bewildered, and say:

"Wait a minute! No? Why does it have its own background music? How am I supposed to fight like this?"

"System, look! Look at them!!!"

"What? I dialed 43999?! Holy crap! System! You already matched me with someone!"

"I get it! Highway survival, highway survival, so...we're the ones who came to survive, right? Eight ducks~!!"
