148: Chapter 148 Everyone Panicked 148: Chapter 148 Everyone Panicked “Huff!
Huff!
Huff!”
All around, utter silence.
The heavy panting landed on everyone’s heart.
“Thump thump thump!”
The sound of disordered footsteps rose, and everyone watched the remaining two hundred meters with immense excitement.
“One hundred meters!”
“Fifty meters!”
“Ten meters!”
As Zhang Fan was only ten meters from the finish line, the roaring cheers erupted once again.
“It’s done, it’s done!”
Cheers resounded everywhere, both at the school and in the live stream rooms, instantly exploding into a frenzy.
Gao Qi, leading the others, ran straight towards the track.
However, Zhang Fan just waved at them.
He didn’t stop, but continued forward with heavy steps.
“Fanzi, you’ve already finished, why still run!”
Gao Qi screamed, his voice thundering like a roar.
“Yeah, Zhang Fan, you’re done!” a crowd also bellowed.
Zhang Fan nodded, not speaking, because at that moment, he couldn’t say anything.
He glanced at Wang Rui, who was wavering a bit behind him, clenched his teeth, and kept running forward.
Marathons are damn tough, if he could, he too would want to stop and have a nice sleep.
This is even harder than the ten-kilometer cross-country run this morning.
In the morning, only his legs had reached their limits, but now, every pore in his body had reached its limit.
But he dared not stop; Old Wang could at most hold out for one more lap.
If this marathon wasn’t completed, Old Wang would surely be left with a shadow in his heart.
“Thump thump thump.”
The determined footsteps made everyone hold their breath once more.
What is Zhang Fan trying to do?
Everyone could see that Zhang Fan had reached his limit.
The marathon was already finished, why the hell keep running?
“He’s leading Old Wang!”
Finally, someone caught on to the truth and screamed incredulously.
Immediately, a rustle swept through the crowd.
Damn, at this time, he’s still thinking of running with someone else?
Zhou Jie was excited, all the teachers and students of the school were excited, even Zhang Hua’s eyes widened in shock.
Dong Jian stood still, his eyes shining with admiring brilliance.
That’s the spirit of sports, that’s damn well it.
Ouyang Feng and Zhong Tianchen teared up.
Never abandon, never give up.
With teammates like this, what more could one ask for!
“Go Zhang Fan!”
Ouyang Feng screamed, his voice spreading across the entire school.
Immediately, everyone started shouting.
“Go Zhang Fan!”
“Go Zhang Fan!”
In the live stream room, people choked up watching this scene, and listening to the wave-like cheers, they couldn’t help but join in the shouting.
“Go Zhang Fan!”
The shouts rose up all over the country.
In a university classroom!
The professor was lecturing on a subject when suddenly, a scream pierced through from a corner.
Immediately, everyone’s eyes turned to see a guy clutching his phone with red eyes and trembling all over.
“Are you mad?
Damn!”
A curse sounded, but the guy in the corner didn’t stop, instead, he bellowed again.
“Go Zhang Fan!”
In the park!
At the company!
In the apartment!
At the amusement park!
In the internet café!
Screams echoed each other!
At that moment, they didn’t care anymore.
Getting fired, getting reprimanded, losing bonuses, or the strange glances of others – so what.
If they didn’t let this shout out, they’d suffocate.
“Eighty-five laps!”
“Eighty-seven laps!”
Whenever Zhang Fan crossed the finish line, someone would silently count in their minds.
Zhang Fan was ten laps ahead of Wang Rui.
Which means he had to complete ninety-four laps and an additional two hundred meters to stop.
Ten laps, five kilometers, would be nothing on a normal day.
But this was an extra five kilometers added after finishing a marathon.
47.192 kilometers!
The number beyond the marathon distance made everyone’s heart tremble.
Who is Zhang Fan?
Internet cafes, companies, classrooms, parks…
nobody understood.
People all around gathered their heads together, watching the trembling figures on the screen, not knowing what to make of it.
“It’s just running, right?
Who the hell are these people?”
“Heh, running?
The one who has already finished the marathon and is still persisting in leading his teammates forward, you go try it, dammit!”
A young man in the internet cafe stood up, his gaze fiery as if he wanted to beat the person who spoke to death.
Similar situations were happening all over the country.
“Holy shit, momma, I gotta go watch that livestream.”
“Damn, lower your phone a bit, I can’t freaking see.”
“Son of a bitch, that asshole is squeezing my boob!”
The number of people in the livestream room soared from sixty thousand, to eighty thousand, a hundred thousand, a hundred and fifty thousand…
Gao Yuan watched Zhang Fan’s figure with extreme concern.
“He’s gone beyond human limits already, Zhang Fan’s steps are getting unsteady, if this goes on, he’ll definitely get dehydrated and pass out.”
“An ambulance, go call an ambulance!”
Gao Yuan’s voice was incredibly anxious.
“The eighty-ninth lap!”
“Zhang Fan, keep it up!”
“Old Wang, hang in there, don’t drag Zhang Fan down.”
Seeing Wang Rui’s figure that was almost collapsing, the faces of a crowd of people changed drastically.
Wang Rui’s father was blank, stars shimmered before his eyes, and dimly, he could make out a blurry figure up ahead.
The buzzing in his ears filled the air.
What else is there to say?
Dragging Zhang Fan down?
What happened?
Wang Rui didn’t know, he only knew that the figure ahead was Zhang Fan; if this kid could keep going, why couldn’t he?
Run, keep running, running with clenched teeth!
Losing to a student, if word got out, wouldn’t he be the laughingstock!
“The ninetieth lap!”
The number of people in the livestream room was still increasing, and at this point, there were already two hundred thousand watching!
“Ninety-first lap!”
“Where’s the fucking ambulance, how come it’s not here yet.”
Gao Yuan cursed in desperation, as the doctors nearby quickly tried to soothe him: “Gao Lao, don’t worry, it’s coming right away.”
Before his words ended, an ambulance drove slowly into the school.
The medical staff hurriedly got out of the ambulance, with stretchers and all sorts of equipment ready to go.
“Thump!”
Qi Lin, who had completed eighty-two laps, collapsed.
With no one to lead him, he was like a lost lamb; at this moment, he finally couldn’t hold on any longer.
“Quickly, go to him!”
Gao Yuan and a group of medical staff lifted Qi Lin down.
Yet, nobody paid attention to this scene.
Everyone’s eyes were on Zhang Fan, trembling with each step he took.
“Ninety-third lap!
Just one more lap left, keep it up!”
A group of people shouted anxiously in their hearts; they dared not make a sound, afraid of startling Zhang Fan.
“Old Wang, hang in there, just one more lap, just one more lap.” Zhang Fan’s voice was extremely weak, but at that moment, it could be heard clearly.
Some people’s eyes moistened.
This staccato voice, like a knife, cut into the hearts of all who listened.
“Tat-tat-tat!”
A group of people began to circle the track around Zhang Fan, watching his figure that looked like it could collapse at any moment, filled with worry.
Ninety-three laps, that’s more than four kilometers beyond a marathon.
“Come on!
Come on!”
A low shadow rustled.
“Ninety-four laps!”
Some people started to choke up.
“Keep it up, one more step, take another step!”
Zhang Fan only felt a void before him, at this moment, he saw nothing at all, he only listened to the rustling sounds beside his ear, he knew, just a little more, just a little more.
“Fifty meters!”
“Ten meters!”
“One meter!”
“One step!”
“It’s over, it’s over, Old Wang finished, Zhang Fan, you stop already.”
As Wang Rui took his final step, a crowd of people rushed forward to embrace Zhang Fan.
At this moment, Zhang Fan passed out.
“Doctor, come quickly.”
Panicked voices rose.
At this moment, everyone watching the livestream around the world panicked.
“Where is he?
How is Zhang Fan doing?”
“Fuck, will the host fucking speak up, you’re killing me here.”
“Damn, I’m going to take a taxi to S City!”
