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

Zhou Weiguo snapped out of his thoughts and turned his gaze back to the bus.

As he approached the bus, he quickly assessed the situation in his mind.

If this vehicle is assigned to the nearest West Gate, its firepower is more than enough to defend it; only a certain number of people need to be assigned to guard it.

The personnel originally in charge of the West Gate could be redeployed to the South Gate and East Gate, or reassigned to carry out assassination missions against Japanese residents.

Zhou Weiguo slowed his pace as the bus door opened and a boy holding a katana stepped off.

The boy was wearing a black short-sleeved shirt and white sweatpants. He held a white katana in his left hand, with purple flame-shaped patterns on the scabbard, while his right hand was casually tucked into his pocket.

After getting off the bus, the boy simply stood by the door and turned his head slightly to look at Zhou Weiguo.

The moment Zhou Weiguo saw the boy, he immediately stopped in his tracks!

He served in the army for several years and encountered all sorts of people, including many skilled players and awakened individuals.

But he rarely saw anyone who could bring such a heavy sense of oppression to this veteran just by standing there!

Zhou Weiguo felt as if he were facing not a human, but a demon that had casually glanced at him, like a deer coming to drink at the riverbank being glanced at by a giant python hidden in the water.

Zhou Weiguo broke out in a cold sweat.

Gu Yu was already the most powerful player among the tenth batch of players Zhou Weiguo had encountered, but the sense of pressure Gu Yu brought him was less than one-tenth of that of this boy!

Jiang Chen slowly walked towards Zhou Weiguo.

After seeing the title "People's Player" above Jiang Chen's head, Zhou Weiguo felt much more at ease.

Players who possess this title must have made outstanding contributions to the nation of China.

Including the first nine batches of players, there are currently no more than 10 teams that hold this title.

Of course, if you can get a title after surviving the highway, then the Special Forces - Awakeners Squad can all get this title.

Players who possess this title have a very high level of prestige in China and deserve the respect of the People's Liberation Army.

Therefore, Zhou Weiguo chose to believe Jiang Chen, and even his eyes showed more respect.

Jiang Chen and Zhou Weiguo approached each other and made face-to-face contact, while the girls remained in the car.

Zhou Weiguo held the rifle diagonally in his left hand, saluted Jiang Chen with his right hand, and introduced himself at the same time.

Jiang Chen nodded, briefly introduced himself, and quickly got straight to the point:

"Team Leader Zhou, tell me about the current situation first."

Jiang Chen could have addressed Zhou Weiguo as Squad Leader Zhou, but he preferred to call him "Team Leader Zhou," and Zhou Weiguo was indeed the captain of this makeshift three-person team.

Captain Zhou quickly explained to Jiang Chen:

"The Japanese chose December 13th to besiege Jinlin City in an attempt to recreate the major event of that year."

"Currently, there are [6-level zombie hordes] in all four directions of Golden Scale City, and these zombie hordes all come from the six teleportation portals in each direction."

"The second awakened squad from nearby has arrived, and we need to hold out until around 11 a.m.

Jiang Chen raised his question:

Is there any way to close the portal?

After hearing Jiang Chen's words, Zhou Weiguo nodded, but his brows furrowed.

"It is indeed possible to turn it off."

"Lieutenant Colonel Li deduced that the Japanese residents who summoned these portals probably also lacked mental energy. Currently, the 24 portals are maintained based on the mental energy of the other residents, so as long as we kill the residents in each direction, we can close the portals."

"But this mission is too difficult. Not only do we have to find the residents hiding near the portal, but we also have to kill them."

Jiang Chen understood. Although he didn't know how the other Japanese residents helped Kuroki Yuto maintain the portal, he only needed to kill the residents to close the portal.

That makes it simple.

Jiang Chen knew nothing about fighting, but when it came to killing zombies and civilians, he was an expert!

Zhou Weiguo's expression suddenly turned serious:

"Jiang Chen, this dungeon might be too difficult for you."

"We don't expect you to defend all the city gates; you only need to guard the west gate. As for the rest... just trust the soldiers of China!"

"I will report your situation. I believe that once the division commander learns of your strength, he will definitely send a large force to protect you."

"Of course, if you can leave this instance, we would also suggest that you do so, after all..."

Zhou Weiguo looked at the roof of the bus behind Jiang Chen:

"You have this strength on the third day. You should be given more time to grow. If you were to sacrifice yourself here, it would be a huge loss for China."

Jiang Chen did not answer Zhou Weiguo's question, but simply said:

"We will defend the west gate."

Zhou Weiguo was clearly taken aback.

He smiled slightly, glanced at the title "People's Player" above Jiang Chen's head, and then solemnly saluted Jiang Chen and the girl on the bus once again.

Zhou Weiguo handed Jiang Chen a black walkie-talkie:

"This has already been calibrated and can directly connect to Lieutenant Colonel Li."

"She is also an Awakened One. You can follow her arrangements. It's easier for you Awakened Ones to communicate with each other than with us ordinary people."

After Zhou Weiguo briefly taught Jiang Chen how to use the walkie-talkie, he handed Jiang Chen a map of Jinlin City, on which the four city gates of Jinlin City were clearly marked with four red circles:

"This is a map of Golden Scale City."

As Zhou Weiguo spoke, he pointed to the right side of the city wall:

"Just drive along this road directly to the West Gate. There are a lot of zombies there, it's very conspicuous."

"The warriors on the city walls will also protect you."

"Do you understand everything?"

Jiang Chen nodded.

What Zhou Weiguo said was actually very simple: just drive the bus to the West Gate and guard it.

But Jiang Chen was thinking about how to wipe out the residents of the four city gates.

Zhou Weiguo patted Jiang Chen on the shoulder heavily:

"You young people haven't disgraced China, I'm counting on you!"

After saying this, Zhou Weiguo quickly led his two teammates to run down to the city gate.

The three continued to advance using a three-on-three tactic, but the two veterans, Zhou Weiguo and Zhao Tiezhu, were clearly protecting the new recruits behind them, intentionally or unintentionally.

The three of them had another task: to help Li Xiaoyao find the Japanese resident hiding near the North Gate.

Zhou Weiguo and his two companions planned to climb back up the city wall using ropes.

Actually, they don't need to climb the whole way on their own; teammates on the city wall will help pull them up.

Jiang Chen watched Zhou Weiguo, Lin Xiaobei, and Zhao Tiezhu's retreating figures, a look of respect appearing in his eyes.

"It is thanks to the efforts and sacrifices of countless ordinary people that China is what it is today!"

"Whether it's China before or after the time travel."

Jiang Chen raised his hand and saluted the backs of Zhou Weiguo and the other two before turning and walking back to the bus.

He was about to kill the Japanese residents from all four directions of Golden Scale City!

Soon, they will no longer be able to swagger across the land of China!
