Chapter 176 Were all three who died boys?
Hearing Chen Yu's merciless words.
Sun Zhiyuan was stunned and opened his mouth, but having his attempt at moral kidnapping exposed, he found himself speechless for a moment.
Liu Manqing looked up and glanced at Chen Yu with a hint of gratitude.
Wang Mengmeng leaned into Li Mengyao's ear and lowered her voice, "Mengyao, how can this guy be like this? He's so clingy..."
Li Mengyao also whispered, "Sigh, he's always been like this in the troupe. When Aunt was rehearsing, he would stand by and watch, acting as if he were her boyfriend... Eventually, the whole troupe thought Aunt and him were together!"
Wang Mengmeng curled her lip. "Isn't that just harassment?"
Li Mengyao's lips quirked downward.
Wang Mengmeng leaned in even closer. "I think he just needs Brother Yu to teach him a lesson. There's no point in reasoning with people like him; you have to make him understand what it means to be afraid."
After she finished speaking, her eyes darted around.
Catching sight of Lu Xiaoyu shrinking beside Zuo Shi, she immediately hurried over.
She squatted in front of Lu Xiaoyu with a mysterious expression.
Zuo Shi was taken aback. "Mengmeng, what are you doing?"
"Hey Xiao Yu, look at that uncle. Is he a bad person?"
Wang Mengmeng gestured toward Sun Zhiyuan with her chin.
Lu Xiaoyu froze, her face turning bright red. Being asked so directly by Wang Mengmeng made her even more flustered.
"I... I... feel like he's... a bit sticky..."
Wang Mengmeng blinked. "Sticky? What do you mean? Is he sweating?"
Lu Xiaoyu shook her head, her face turning even redder. "Not that kind of sticky... It's... it's a feeling of stickiness... Like... like..."
She thought for a long time before blurting out, "Like white porridge spilled on the cafeteria floor that hasn't been cleaned up. It's the kind that's slimy when you step on it and you can't shake it off."
Wang Mengmeng was stunned for a moment before bursting into laughter. "Hahaha, spilled porridge on the floor?! Xiao Yu, what kind of analogy is that!"
Suddenly, it clicked for Wang Mengmeng—wasn't Sun Zhiyuan exactly a Clingy Spirit!
Now, when she looked at Lu Xiaoyu, there was a hint of admiration in her eyes!
After a long while...
Sun Zhiyuan finally continued, "Fine, fine, you kids really have grown up. But I must declare, I wasn't using moral kidnapping just now. Teacher Liu knows me best, right?"
Liu Manqing was somewhat helpless. "Deputy Commander Sun, I'll still stay with Mengyao. I feel more at ease this way."
Sun Zhiyuan nodded and said magnanimously, "Of course, of course, I wouldn't force anyone. We've known each other for so long, you know my character better than anyone..."
"Eh?"
He interrupted himself as his gaze drifted outside the carriage, where he saw dense spikes on both sides of the Vehicle's body glinting coldly in the torrential rain.
Further ahead, two thick alloy tusks protruded from the bumper at the front of the Vehicle.
"What's the deal with your Vehicle?"
"Those things outside... are they spikes? And tusks?"
Wang Mengmeng nodded and spoke proudly, "That's nothing. The internal facilities of our Baby Bus are much more impressive than the exterior! You just didn't get to see them!"
"Baby Bus? Hahahaha, what kind of name is—"
Sun Zhiyuan froze mid-laugh. "Wait, what did you say this Vehicle is called?"
Wang Mengmeng said seriously, "The Baby Bus."
The smile completely vanished from Sun Zhiyuan's face.
He hurriedly pulled up his personal panel and swiped his finger across the screen a few times.
Then, his face turned from red to white, and from white to a sickly green.
"Uncle Sun?"
Li Mengyao waved her hand. "Are you okay?"
Sun Zhiyuan didn't speak. He slowly sat back in his seat, no longer crossing his legs.
"Aunt, what's wrong with Uncle Sun?"
Li Mengyao asked, knowing the answer.
Liu Manqing shook her head. "To be honest, I couldn't believe it either—that Xiao Yu's Vehicle could actually become the tenth-ranked Star Vehicle. At first, I thought it was just a name coincidence, until I saw Haicheng Film Academy and was certain..."
Wang Mengmeng leaned over. "Yeah, Aunt! The passengers on our bus have very comprehensive skills. We have someone who produces water, someone who produces rice, someone who produces crayfish, and even someone for massages!"
Liu Manqing nodded. "Yes, those are all very impressive Talents!"
Wang Mengmeng chuckled. "Of course, otherwise how could we be ranked tenth..."
Chen Yu scanned the people in the carriage. "Alright, let's get down to business. Road to Survival didn't want to give us prep time and directly locked our backpacks. There's nothing we can do about that."
His voice wasn't loud, but it carried great weight. Everyone looked at him.
Chen Yu stood up and walked to the middle of the carriage. "Even though the backpacks are locked, it doesn't mean we have nothing. Everyone, check... are there any supplies left around you?"
Zhang Wanyue bent down to rummage through the storage box next to the driver's seat.
"Let me see. When we upgraded earlier, a few bottles of water were placed under the seat and weren't put into the backpack."
Yang Kexin also squatted down to look through the toolbox under the driver's seat.
Deng Y Xin rummaged through the mesh pocket behind the seat. "There's a pack of compressed biscuits, leftovers from last time I forgot to put away."
Wang Mengmeng lay on the floor and reached under the seat. "I have... half a bag of beef jerky here!"
Shortly after, Chen Yu squatted down and gathered everything everyone had found.
In reality, the only meaningful items were a few bottles of water, some packs of compressed biscuits, and half a bag of beef jerky.
Wang Mengmeng looked at the small pile of items. "Just this? Who is this enough for..."
Chen Yu spoke in a low voice, "There must be resources on the island—water, food, everything. Otherwise, this mission would be impossible. Road to Survival wouldn't design an unwinnable situation."
Everyone silently agreed, assuming this was the future Chen Yu had seen.
"Wait a minute, why weren't we given a map for this station?"
Zhang Wanyue suddenly realized a problem.
At the same moment the question arose, Yang Kexin, who was driving, cried out, "Such thick fog!!!"
"Fog???"
Everyone was slightly stunned and looked out the front windshield in unison!
A patch of white fog had appeared on the road ahead at some point!
It was like a wall spanning across, connecting the sky above and the ground below, completely blocking the path ahead! When the headlights hit it, the light was swallowed without even a reflection, as if shining into a ball of cotton.
Wang Mengmeng pressed her face against the glass, her eyes wide. "What kind of fog is this? Why is it like a wall?"
Yang Kexin gripped the steering wheel; the car had slowed down, but she still didn't dare to stop.
"I can't see the road. Should I stop?"
Chen Yu stared at the white fog ahead. "Don't stop. Drive in."
"Ah?"
Yang Kexin was taken aback.
"Drive in. This fog is part of the station. We can't go around it."
Yang Kexin gritted her teeth and stepped on the gas.
The Baby Bus plunged headlong into the white fog.
At that moment, everyone felt like the Vehicle had been swallowed by something.
Everything in every direction was white; nothing could be seen outside the windows, and even the hood became blurred.
Wang Mengmeng screamed, "I can't see anything! Brother Yu!"
Chen Yu's lip twitched. "I know..."
Yang Kexin gripped the steering wheel tightly. "I can't see the road! How do I drive now?"
Zhang Wanyue leaned forward from the passenger seat. "Slow down! Don't panic! Keep the steering steady! Don't let your hands shake!"
Liu Manqing held Li Mengyao's hand, and Li Mengyao squeezed back.
"Mengyao, it seems there are many reliable people on your bus."
Liu Manqing's voice was soft and gentle.
Li Mengyao nodded. "Yeah, everyone is very united! Since the survival game started, only three boys have died in total!"
Liu Manqing was stunned. "The three who died were all boys?"
Li Mengyao said with a hint of pride, "That's right!"
Liu Manqing frowned, as if thinking of something, and subconsciously looked at Sun Zhiyuan sitting nearby.
Sun Zhiyuan was craning his neck to look at the fog ahead.
He felt Liu Manqing's gaze and turned his head. He was stunned at first, but then a smile slowly spread across his face.
'Teacher Liu still cares about me.'
