[Bus Stop: Peace Convenience Store:
Difficulty: Medium-Low.
Resources: Food resources, water resources, iron ingot resources.
Note: There is a certain danger, two common low-grade zombies are hiding inside the convenience store. Being scratched by a zombie will infect you with the zombie virus!]
After reading the divine hint, Lin Qiunan said with lingering fear, "This bus stop is dangerous, there are those zombies from the movies! And there are two of them!"
Gu Pingsheng felt a chill in his heart after hearing this. It was as he expected. How could this survival game be so easy?
"Ah, zombies? Are they the kind that bite people and then infect them with a virus?"
"It seems so, but that shouldn't be possible... it doesn't make any scientific sense."
"Jiaxin, are you stupid? Our entire class was transported into a bus, does that make scientific sense?"
"True..."
The girls chattered nervously, their eyes filled with fear.
Gu Pingsheng quickly said, "Everyone, since Lin Qiunan's talent is an S-rank divine hint, we must not take it lightly. But we can't avoid going in, because we can't do without the supplies in the convenience store. There are 42 of us, and we need a lot of food and water every day!"
"Gu Pingsheng, you make it sound so easy. Why don't you go? You deal with those two zombies, and then we'll go down to move the resources, how about that?"
At this moment, a plain-looking girl with freckles on her face pointed at Gu Pingsheng's nose and shouted, "You're a boy, we're girls, aren't you supposed to protect us?"
Gu Pingsheng's mouth twitched. Seriously, why bring this up now? Besides, isn't he the only boy here?
This girl was named Huang Ting, ranking low in class performance points, often skipping classes. It was one thing to skip easy classes, but she even skipped major ones. Sometimes, when the major class teacher took attendance, they would ask Class Monitor Gu Pingsheng to call roll with the class list.
Gu Pingsheng couldn't cover for Huang Ting in front of the teacher, so he had to mark her absent. Honestly, if the teacher was lenient and just asked if anyone was absent, Gu Pingsheng could have covered for them or said he didn't know, and wouldn't have proactively pointed out that someone was missing. But when asked to call roll directly, with a fixed number of students in the class, how could he possibly cover for those who skipped?
Unless he didn't want to be class monitor anymore.
So, led by Huang Ting, a group of girls who often skipped classes disliked Gu Pingsheng very much.
Although Gu Pingsheng was the class monitor and handled things diligently, he couldn't make every classmate like him, only most of them.
Just as Gu Pingsheng was about to retort, Li Ruoyao pointed at Huang Ting's nose and angrily said, "What nonsense are you spouting, Huang Ting? Sending Gu Pingsheng alone to fight two zombies, are you trying to get him killed?"
"Are you suggesting we weak girls go fight zombies? If you want to go, go ahead, Study Commissioner. I'm not like you, with a talent!"
Huang Ting sneered.
"Of course, I'll go!"
Li Ruoyao glared at Huang Ting, shouting angrily, "Scavenging the convenience store's resources is a collective task for the whole class. I have a talent, so I can't not go!"
Currently, Li Ruoyao's combat power was high, with the tenfold constitution boost, she felt she could punch a cow to death now!
Moreover, she didn't want to see Gu Pingsheng get scratched by a zombie.
Zhang Keke looked at the two girls, her eyes firm, and then slowly said, "I'll go too. After all, I have a talent, I can't waste it, and I won't just sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor. You have to give to receive."
Zhang Keke's sarcastic tone made Huang Ting very unhappy.
Luo Xiaoxue jumped up and patted Gu Pingsheng's shoulder, "Count me in, Class Monitor. If you guys get bitten by zombies, maybe I can heal you with my Healing Art!"
Seeing so many pretty female classmates supporting Gu Pingsheng, Huang Ting's face twisted with anger, "Fine, you go. I'll come down when there's no danger!"
Several girls around Huang Ting also had similar thoughts. Going down was out of the question. What if they got bitten by a zombie?
Even though Luo Xiaoxue had some Healing Art, what if it didn't work on the zombie virus?
However, they wouldn't speak up for Huang Ting either. They weren't foolish enough to let Gu Pingsheng go alone...
If there were more boys, it would be different, but there was only one boy. Weren't they just treating him like cannon fodder?
Just as the atmosphere grew tense, Gu Pingsheng slowly said, "As the class monitor and bus driver, I will definitely take the lead. There should be resources we need for survival at that bus stop. As for those who are afraid of danger, I have no objection to you staying on the bus. But the resources should be scavenged first by those who go down. After they've gathered enough, those who stayed can go down to scavenge. Do you have any objections?"
"Pingsheng is right. Those who want to go down, stand up now. The convenience store's resources might not be plentiful. We have 42 people here, and you've seen your personal inventory, right? Each person can carry at least 10 slots, which is 1,000 items."
The Study Commissioner, Li Ruoyao, chimed in.
Hearing Gu Pingsheng and Li Ruoyao's words, Huang Ting was left speechless. She wanted to argue, but it seemed most of the girls had accepted it.
Soon, a small group of girls began to stand up one after another.
Gu Pingsheng counted, besides himself, the Study Commissioner, Arts and Sports Commissioner, Life Commissioner, there was also the Youth League Secretary, and four other girls.
"Lin Qiunan, you don't have to go."
Gu Pingsheng thought for a moment and said, "After all, you just provided the bus stop hint, which is a contribution. Once we deal with the zombies, you can come down. Your talent is an important source of information for our class. If you're in danger, it would be a significant loss."
Lin Qiunan hesitated for a moment, then sat down with relief, "I'll leave it to you, Gu Pingsheng."
Although she felt a bit embarrassed, she was also reluctant to get off the bus. If she got bitten by a zombie, it would be over.
She had stood up earlier because she was a class committee member and felt responsible for her classmates.
But hearing Gu Pingsheng's words, Lin Qiunan felt justified in sitting down.
Apart from Huang Ting's group, the other girls weren't particularly upset. After all, Lin Qiunan's intelligence was indeed crucial. They would need her information later on.
A total of eight people were going down, and with Li Ruoyao's tenfold constitution, they should be able to handle two zombies, right?
...
Gu Pingsheng returned to the driver's seat and continued driving the bus.
Soon, a sign appeared in front of the bus on the right.
"Class Monitor, Study Commissioner, look, isn't that the bus stop?"
Luo Xiaoxue jumped up, pointing excitedly to the left front of the bus.
Following Luo Xiaoxue's finger, Gu Pingsheng saw a platform about 10 centimeters high suddenly appear in front of the bus.
Above the platform was a building resembling a convenience store, with a sign next to it displaying the words "Peace Convenience Store."
The bus slowly came to a stop next to the convenience store.
[Players, please note, the bus has arrived at the station. This station is an ordinary station.]
An ordinary station? Does that mean there will be special stations in the future...
Gu Pingsheng slowly said, "Everyone, those who want to go down, let's go."
"Pingsheng, I'll protect you."
Li Ruoyao stood beside Gu Pingsheng, speaking earnestly.
The two were childhood sweethearts, attending the same school and class throughout middle and high school, quite a coincidence.
In class, among all the female students, Li Ruoyao had the best relationship with Gu Pingsheng.
Earlier, she was the first to defend Gu Pingsheng.
Besides her, the other class committee members were also familiar with Gu Pingsheng due to working together.
"Let's go."
Gu Pingsheng pressed the door button.
Soon, the door next to the front passenger seat on the right side of the bus opened.
Gu Pingsheng swallowed hard.
To say he wasn't afraid would be a lie, but he had to bite the bullet now.
He was the first to lead the way down, followed by Li Ruoyao and the others.
As soon as they got off, they felt the strong wind, with sand blowing into their eyes.
Many female classmates looked at Gu Pingsheng and the others with concern.
Huang Ting, however, glared at them with resentment. These so-called class committee members had just sided with Gu Pingsheng, making her lose face.
"Stupid class committee, acting all high and mighty, just because they got lucky with a talent."
"I really hope you all die with the zombies."
