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

Jiang Chen looked at the huge screen that stretched across the middle of the road. The smile that had been on his lips slowly faded, and his expression gradually became calm.

No matter how much he joked around with the girls before, Jiang Chen would take things very seriously when faced with potentially dangerous situations like dungeons, trying his best to avoid making any mistakes.

This time, the mandatory dungeon at 7 o'clock was the same as the previous two days, with only one fork in the road. If Jiang Chen hadn't had the SSS-level skill [Full Map Reveal], he wouldn't have known what kind of dungeon it was.

The girls all quieted down.

Bai Nuonuo placed the teddy bear on her lap, her hands neatly resting on the bear's head, and her posture straightened up. Her tuft of hair stopped swaying and instead hung down in a demure arc.

Tang Yan, the little koi, immediately sat back down in her seat, waiting for Brother Jiang Chen to give her orders. She wondered if she could go on a date with Brother Jiang Chen this time too.

Lan Xingyao stopped making lewd jokes and suddenly became solemn; she was still very good at judging the occasion.

Lan Xingwan sat next to her, holding the scepter in both hands. She no longer lowered her head shyly and looked at Jiang Chen's back with a very serious gaze.

Wu Maiduo lightly gripped the folded [Six Harmonies Great Spear - Blood Demon] in her right hand. The smiling girl disappeared, and she instantly switched to a battle-ready expression.

Teacher Wen Ruyan remained elegant in her posture, but her gentle smile had faded. She simply watched Jiang Chen's back quietly, picking up the ["What the hell? Master March 7th's handmade, super cute ice-attribute shield!"] with her left hand.

The other girls all became serious.

Su Xiaotang also sheathed her longsword and looked at her senior brother's broad back.

She held the pale blue performance sword in her left hand, the blue Chinese knot hanging from the end of the hilt swaying gently in the wind blowing in from the car window.

The wind lifted her white-to-blue gradient pigtails and swayed the hem of her blue pleated skirt, like two blue lotus petals gently swaying in the wind.

The expression on her face also changed.

She put away her lively and playful laughter, and she also put away her excited fluttering around her senior brother.

Su Xiaotang lowered her eyebrows slightly and pursed her lips gently. Although her appearance hadn't changed much and she was still very beautiful, her aura seemed to have become sharper.

Su Xiaotang was like a longsword that hadn't been drawn from its sheath just moments before; now, she is a longsword that has completely left its scabbard and revealed its sharpness.

At that moment, she truly looked like a female knight-errant.

Su Xiaotang knew that bad things would happen every time she entered a dungeon.

The first time was when Teacher Fang left.

The second was the breakdown of Hazard's group of children.

The third was the earthquake at Chuanbei Middle School.

She hated tragedies, but this was a survival world, where tragedies were the last thing she needed...

She was there every time, and every time she saw Senior Brother Jiang Chen standing at the forefront, and every time she saw the senior sisters' eyes red with tears. She wondered what tragedy would unfold this time...

But she wasn't worried, because she often talked to herself in a soft, melodious voice:

"With my senior brother here, Xiaotang isn't afraid of anything!"

Su Xiaotang knew she wasn't strong enough; that performance sword couldn't kill any zombies. To kill zombies, she had to pick up that ugly crowbar.

But... at least she can avoid holding others back.

Su Xiaotang looked at Jiang Chen's back as he walked towards the driver's seat, his bright eyes reflecting his broad shoulders and hair fluttering in the wind.

Jiang Chen walked to the driver's seat, picked up the S-grade [Katana: Lightning: Guardian of the River of Oblivion] from the driver's seat with his left hand, and focused his gaze on the only fork in the road.

He read aloud:

"Black Sheep Wall".

Information from the system flooded my mind.

[Instance Type: Dual Team Instances]

[Dungeon Difficulty: Rank A]

[Weather: Sunny, Cold Winter]

[Date: October 13]

[Monster Type: Japanese Zombie x400]

[Supplies: No food, no clothing, no weapons, no escape route! A Grade B treasure chest will be awarded upon completion.]

[Team's estimated mortality rate: 0%]

[Instance Content: You have missed your first chance. Now, Golden Scale City is besieged by Japanese zombies, and only a small number of civilians have escaped.]

Each team can send at most one person. The two teams work together, with one team responsible for holding off the pursuing Japanese zombies and the other team escorting the civilians escaping from the city across the river and evacuating them to a designated location on the other side.

Jiang Chen's gaze lingered on the words "December 13th" and "Japanese zombies".

His brows furrowed slowly, his left hand gripping the hilt of the katana tightened, and his hair blocked the light, making his forehead appear as if it were covered with a layer of gloom.

Jiang Chen had already understood what this instance meant.

His face appeared calm, but the murderous intent in his eyes was surging like that of a mad wolf.

The girls could all feel the oppressive aura emanating from Jiang Chen's silence, as if it were compressing the surrounding air, and they suddenly felt that they couldn't breathe properly.

After Jiang Chen shared the information about this instance, the girls finally understood why he was so dignified and solemn.

The girls fell silent, their eyes filled with fighting spirit, wishing they could rush into the dungeon right now and slaughter the Japanese zombies without leaving a trace!

Tang Yan, the little koi, waved and shouted:

"What else is there to say! The S key is locked, it's a fight to the death!"

Lan Xingyao slung the Elemental Mage's Staff over her shoulder, looking like a street-smart young woman:

"Holy crap! Even without the reward, we're going to clear this dungeon!"

Ruan Ningshuang had already stood up from her seat. She walked to Jiang Chen's side in her high heels. The hem of her traditional Chinese cheongsam swayed gently with her steps, and her white leg rings were faintly visible on her thighs.

She stood beside Jiang Chen with her arms crossed, like a quiet, ancient-style screen:

"Jiang Chen, you'll probably be the one entering the dungeon again this time, but this dungeon isn't easy; there might be hidden quests."

Jiang Chen nodded:

"This time we are well prepared."

He turned to the side and looked at Wen Ruyan.

Wen Ruyan had already stood up, holding the [invincible gold wallet] in her hand.

Wen Ruyan handed the gleaming gold wallet to Jiang Chen and patiently explained:

"I've packed a lot of compressed biscuits, canned beef, and bottled water. Maybe when you enter the instance, you can even give some food to the starving people."

"Also, your Nokia phone and four location cards. In case you get trapped in the dungeon, you can use the location cards to get out."

I also put in 200 survival coins.

Jiang Chen took the wallet and was very satisfied with Teacher Wen's thoughtfulness. He had just been about to look for her when she had already packed the wallet for him.

Ruan Ningshuang stood beside Jiang Chen, looking at his profile.

The wind slipped in through the cracks in the car window, ruffling the hair on Jiang Chen's forehead.

His breathing was steady, and his chest didn't rise and fall much, but there was a murderous intent surging in his eyes.

Ruan Ningshuang could see that Jiang Chen was currently in a state of "having thunder in his heart but a calm face," a quality that those who achieve great things must possess.

This is one of the reasons why she likes Jiang Chen.

Although Jiang Chen has the advantage of being a show-off, when faced with a real problem, he will not only remain calm even if Mount Tai collapses in front of him, but will also do his best to get things done!

It makes people feel very safe!

The sound of hurried footsteps came from the stairwell.
