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

To the right of the bus, in the direction of the west gate of Jinlin City, came the sounds of bombs exploding and faint shouts.

The shouts are the roars of the People's Liberation Army soldiers as they sacrifice themselves; they are basically shouting out their names and household registration information.

They are protecting Golden Scale City with their own flesh and blood.

They are putting their actions into strict adherence to two words: "defend to the death!"

The Gatling gunner occasionally fired a few short bursts, the gunshots sharp and crisp. A few survival coins flew in a golden arc from the grass and hillside towards the bus.

Jiang Chen returned to the bus while listening to the explosions, the roars of zombies, and the angry shouts of the People's Liberation Army soldiers.

As soon as he boarded the bus, the girls looked at him.

Just now, Jiang Chen was still a bit far from the bus, and the girls couldn't hear his conversation with Zhou Weiguo very clearly.

The girls looked anxious, after all, Jinlin City was in great danger, and the People's Liberation Army might sacrifice themselves every second.

But they also understood that this couldn't be rushed. They needed to understand the situation before setting off, otherwise they wouldn't be able to help the People's Liberation Army, and they themselves might even suffer casualties.

Lu Wanzhou was already waiting for Jiang Chen by the car door.

As soon as she saw Jiang Chen get into the car, she immediately leaned over, her tone noticeably faster; even this big sister seemed a bit anxious.

"Xiao Chen, what's the situation now?"

Jiang Chen pinched Lu Wanzhou's cheek and gave her a look that indicated she shouldn't panic.

Upon seeing Jiang Chen's look, Lu Wanzhou immediately understood and relaxed.

While pinching Haji's cheek, Jiang Chen briefly explained the situation in Golden Scale City and how the portal could only be closed by killing the Japanese residents.

During this time, Jiang Chen kept kneading Lu Wanzhou's face.

Lu Wanzhou merely glared at him slightly, a glare that carried little intimidating power.

Lu Wanzhou only expressed her useless protest in front of the girls, but did not dodge, letting Jiang Chen play with her face.

Lu Wanzhou had gotten used to being kissed, touched, and lifted up by Jiang Chen in front of the girls, so she wasn't shy anymore.

Because Lu Wanzhou has already been transformed into Xiao Chen's appearance by Jiang Chen!

Ruan Ningshuang stood by Jiang Chen's side the whole time.

While Jiang Chen and Zhou Weiguo were talking, she waited by the door for her master... no! for Jiang Chen to come back.

Ruan Ningshuang listened carefully to Jiang Chen's story.

She crossed her left arm over her chest, gently tapped her chin with her right fingers, and after thinking for a moment, offered her suggestion:

"The situation is urgent, and the best solution is to split up into two groups."

"Let's go to the nearest West Gate and South Gate first."

"Jiang Chen, what are your plans?"

After Ruan Ningshuang finished speaking, she looked at Jiang Chen, waiting for his opinion.

She knew that Jiang Chen already had his own ideas.

Ruan Ningshuang will unconditionally trust Jiang Chen's arrangements, but she will also make minor adjustments and additions to the details.

Jiang Chen took out the folded map of Golden Scale City from his pocket and unfolded it on the back of his seat.

(Readers listening to the audiobook can refer to the original text, which includes a simple map.)

On the map, Jinlin City is quite different from the Jinlin City before the transmigration. The Jinlin City in this world is surrounded by high walls and resembles a rounded parallelogram.

The most prominent rounded corners are located in the four cardinal directions: east, west, south, and north.

Jiang Chen and his group were near the West Gate, which was closest to the North and South Gates, but the route to the East Gate was the furthest, requiring them to traverse a large area of ​​Jinlin City to reach it.

Jiang Chen pointed to the west gate, north gate, and south gate circled in red and began to make arrangements.

As he made the arrangements, he swiped his finger across the map:

"We are closest to the West Gate, North Gate, and South Gate."

Jiang Chen pointed to the North Gate, where the [100,000-level zombie horde] was located, and the situation there was the most severe.

"Li Xiaoyao is guarding the North Gate. You can take the bus along the city wall to the South Gate and collect some Survival Coins along the way."

"I drove my aunt's sports car to the nearest West Gate."

Jiang Chen was speaking when he looked down at Xiao Cui, who was rubbing against his leg.

Jiang Chen gently tapped Xiao Cui's forehead with his fingertip.

Xiao Cui felt her little head being touched. She tilted her head back, her cute, pale blue vertical pupils widening, completely lacking the majesty one would expect from a dragon...

Jiang Chen really liked this little cutie:

"As for the East Gate, let Xiao Cui take my zombie servants there."

After hearing Jiang Chen's arrangement, none of the girls objected; they all waited for Ruan Ningshuang to speak.

They all knew that when it came to using their brains, they shouldn't disturb the two smartest minds in the team while they were thinking; they, the less efficient CPUs, should just lie down.

Besides, the girls will definitely follow Jiang Chen and Ruan Ningshuang's arrangements; they're just a little reluctant to part with Jiang Chen.

However, they also knew that now was not the time for romance, and they would wait until they completed this S-rank hidden dungeon before indulging in any shameful behavior.

The girls are quite sensible; they know what they can do and when they can't.

Ruan Ningshuang looked at the unfolded map of Golden Scale City and nodded slightly:

"Jiang Chen's arrangement is very reasonable."

"We're going the furthest towards the East Gate. Even though the bus can go up to 160 km/h, there are all sorts of buildings in Jinlin City. Driving requires turning left and right, which slows us down. It's the fastest way for Xiao Cui to fly over from the sky."

"Moreover, with Jiang Chen's arrangement, Jinlin City can be covered by combat forces in three directions, which will greatly reduce the pressure on the People's Liberation Army."

"I'll have to trouble Xiao Cui to take the zombie servants from Flying Golden Scale City to the East Gate."

After hearing Ruan Ningshuang's complicated words, Xiao Cui's CPU was spinning wildly, almost smoking; her eyes started to bulge, and her tongue was practically sticking out...

She quickly shook her head, "I don't want to!"

She'll do whatever her master says! She can be resurrected, so what's there to be afraid of?

She does whatever her master tells her to do!

After Xiao Cui understood, her dizzy eyes brightened again, turning back into pale blue vertical pupils.

She released Jiang Chen's leg, looked up at Ruan Ningshuang with a smile, and then patted the pale green wing membranes that had been folded behind her:

"I'll do as Master says... Cui Cui can..."

Her pronunciation was smoother than before, but it was still a bit awkward.

Jiang Chen looked down at Xiao Cui, then reached out and patted her head.

Her hair was very soft, and the two small dragon horns on her head felt warm to the touch, like stones that had been exposed to the summer sun.

It has to be said that Jiang Chen really likes this obedient little dragon girl!

In fact, Zi Ying was quite obedient, but she made a mistake from the beginning, and coupled with her status as a Japanese woman, this created a distance between her and Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen began assigning tasks to the girls one by one.

Lu Wanzhou remained hidden in the shadows, responsible for secretly protecting the girls and killing high-threat zombies.

With Lu Wanzhou, an assassin who can become invisible and move at high speed, the girls not only feel safer, but are also the enemy's nightmare!

Wu Maiduo is responsible for having a comprehensive view of the entire battlefield through [Full Vision] and for guarding against enemies who may be invisible on the other side.

Ruan Ningshuang stayed on the bus, directing the battle and activating her domain to boost the girls' attack power.

Teacher Wen and Yan Xiaonuo are the team's shields.

Teacher Wen activated shields for the girls and mocked the zombies.

Yan Xiaonuo is responsible for purifying the girls' negative status and teleporting to their side to shield them from fatal damage.

Two tanky characters, one with a group taunt and the other with the ability to purify and block fatal damage, they're invincible!

Besides Jiang Chen, the most terrifying members of the team are the twin mages Xing Yao and Xing Wan.

One of them has high burst damage in an area, and the other has crowd control in an area. When combined with an attack module, they can show the Japanese what unlimited firepower is and what "fear of insufficient firepower" is!

Auntie and Ying Feixue led Wang Wushuang and the other girls to deal with the zombies near the city gate and the bus, but they had to stay away from the bus.

If they were to encounter residents, Auntie, who was a warrior, and Sakura Hiyuki would be the main force in resisting them head-on.

Bai Nuonuo stayed on the bus to treat the injured girls, while Tang Yan, the lucky koi, stayed by Bai Nuonuo's side, using her luck to protect this little nanny.

Ye Xiaoqi needs to conserve her mental energy to deal with any potential residents. If residents do appear, she will use her talent to weaken their attributes, so that the girls can then harm them.

It has to be said that even without Jiang Chen, the girls' lineup is still incredibly formidable.

It's like a heifer suddenly doing a split—absolutely amazing!

Even with this team configuration, Jiang Chen was still somewhat worried...

Jiang Chen was far too cautious. With a team of girls like that, plus the 18 S-class attack modules on the roof of the level 7 bus, if the Japanese residents dared to come, they would be blasted to smithereens...

Unless you encounter some really outrageous residents...
