Survival on the bus in class, I'm the only boy in the whole class.

BabyBus is less than 100 meters from the gas station.

Chen Qing activated his Sky Eye to examine the information at the gas station.

Rule-based ghosts are always tricky to deal with, as they are unpredictable and can lead to certain death if you break the rules.

Fortunately, Chen Qing possessed the ability to see clearly all the restrictions.

He looked at the people in the carriage and said, "There's a gas station up ahead, and there are twelve ghosts inside."

"Two of them are rule-based, with two rules: first, the word 'oil' is not allowed within the gas station area; second, smoking is prohibited."

Chen Qing paused, then added, "As long as you don't touch these two lines, those two things won't hurt you on their own."

"The remaining ten are ground squirrels."

"As long as you don't get out of the car and your feet don't touch the ground, they won't attack."

Everyone nodded.

Yan Xia leaned back in her seat, tapped her knee with her fingertips, and looked out the car window at the dilapidated gas station.

"We'll just wait for the bus behind us to catch up on its own."

"They don't know the rules, nor do they understand the weaknesses of rats. Once they get off the vehicle, they will surely die."

Chen Qing nodded, "Slow down, move closer slowly, and wait for the bus to come."

Han Qingxue nodded and slowed down as she drove toward the gas station.

The wind whipped up dust and sand across the road. The gas station sign hung crookedly on the steel frame, its paint peeling off to reveal the rusted metal underneath. The two characters "Star Shine" were missing half, making it look eerie and sinister.

The gas pump lay askew to one side, the fuel line dragging on the ground, covered in black ash, and the ground was riddled with cracks, as if it had been repeatedly gnawed by something.

About 100 meters behind, another bus roared to life and sped toward the gas station.

The vehicle bumped and rattled, the sheet metal creaked and groaned, and dust was kicked up by the wheels, leaving a long gray trail.

Zhang Zhijian sat in the passenger seat, staring intently at the BabyBus that had come to a complete stop in front of him.

He gripped the short stick at his waist, a sinister smile creeping across his lips. "They really don't want to give up this supply depot. A good opportunity."

The young man driving beside me craned his neck to look at the dilapidated gas station.

A crooked sign, a broken gas pump, and cracked pebbles scattered everywhere—all exuding a deathly stillness.

He felt uneasy, his brows furrowed, and he couldn't help but speak.

"Brother Zhang, this place is so dilapidated, is there really anything usable here? It looks terrifying."

Zhang Zhijian glanced at him sideways, his tone cold and hard, "Scary? No matter how scary it is, it's still a supply point. If they dare to stop here, it's an opportunity delivered to their doorstep."

"Stop talking nonsense, step on the gas, and drive over there quickly."

The driver didn't dare say anything, stepped on the gas, and the bus slowly drove into the vicinity of the gas station.

The gravel on the ground was crushed into fine pieces by the wheels, and everyone in the carriage was on edge, their eyes scanning their surroundings warily.

As soon as we pulled into the station, the driver complained, "This gas station is so run-down, do you even think they'll have any gas?"

The moment the words left his mouth, the air suddenly froze.

call--!

The once deserted gas station suddenly seemed to be turned on by a switch; a cold wind swept through, stirring up the dust on the ground.

A dark shadow suddenly darted out from behind the refueling machine, moving so fast that it was just a blur.

It was a monster that resembled a humanoid bat, with a shriveled body, wings covered in sticky black oil, and exposed sharp teeth, exuding a chilling ferocity.

The monster crashed straight into the windshield of the bus.

With a crisp "bang," the tempered glass shattered instantly, scattering shards everywhere.

Before the people inside the car could react, the monster's black claws grabbed the driver's neck with astonishing force.

Before the younger brother could even scream, he was violently dragged out of the car window and disappeared outside.

Click, click—!

There was a dull chewing sound, followed by silence.

The monster flapped its wings, which were covered in black oil, circled once in mid-air, and then turned into a black shadow, disappearing into the depths of the gas station ruins without a trace.

The bus fell into a deathly silence.

The remaining people remained frozen in their seats, their pupils contracting sharply, their bodies stiffening, and all color draining from their faces.

Some people's teeth chattered, while others covered their mouths tightly, not daring to breathe too heavily.

This sudden killing was clean, ruthless, and without warning, leaving everyone's minds blank.

Zhang Zhijian sat frozen in the passenger seat, staring blankly at the empty driver's seat, his throat bobbing, unable to utter a sound for a long time.

He trembled violently, his voice broken and hoarse, filled with extreme fear: "W-what's going on? What, what kind of monster is that...?"

Inside the baby bus ahead, everyone could see this scene clearly through the windows.

Wang Zihan's face turned deathly pale. She covered her mouth tightly with both hands to keep from making a sound, and her shoulders trembled uncontrollably.

She lowered her voice, her tone filled with fear: "Then, those are regular-type ghosts?"

Yan Xia stared at the broken window of the other bus, her eyes serious, her voice extremely low, reminding everyone in the carriage.

"Someone has triggered the rules. This ghost is even more ferocious and dangerous than the cashier ghost we encountered before."

"We all need to remember this: under no circumstances, not even a single word should be mentioned."

The people in the carriage nodded in agreement, barely daring to breathe, their eyes warily fixed on the depths of the gas station where the dark figure had disappeared.

That one word that just slipped out became a death sentence.

Under the rules, there is no room for luck.

This ghost is the Oil Ghost, a regular type of ghost. Within the gas station area, the word "oil" cannot be uttered.

The bus was deathly silent. Zhang Zhijian sat frozen in the passenger seat, his mind blank.

The image of his younger brother being dragged away and devoured was still vivid in his mind when he was gone, without warning, without any chance to resist, so fast that he couldn't even react.

He opened his mouth, but his throat tightened, and he couldn't utter a single word; his blood seemed to freeze.

The remaining passengers in the carriage were all pale-faced. Some huddled in the corner of their seats, while others stared intently out the window. Fear washed over the entire carriage like a tidal wave.

A girl in a light-colored coat couldn't hold on any longer. Her emotions collapsed instantly. Her face turned pale, and she gripped the edge of the seat with both hands, screaming out in a shrill voice.

"This gas station is haunted! Run! I don't want to die! I have to get out of here!"
