320: Chapter 320 Shock (Third Update) 320: Chapter 320 Shock (Third Update) “Sigh, I can only take some photos now.
Dad, come on, take a few for me.” Zhang Fan tossed his phone to his dad, then immediately lay down beside the ravine that the black storm had ravaged, striking a pose.
“This kid…”
The group from Varidas was at a loss for words.
But looking at those deep ravines, they were breaking out in a cold sweat.
They were only two hundred meters away, damn it, if the tornado within the black storm had swept towards them, would they have any way out?
“Right, call for help!” Varidas instantly ran over to Zhang Dongyang and asked, “Any signal?”
Zhang Dongyang lowered his phone, and when Varidas saw “No Service” on it, he completely deflated.
“Didn’t you guys bring a satellite phone?” Zhang Dongyang asked.
Varidas shrugged and said, “We did, but not anymore.”
Zhang Dongyang, too, shook his head helplessly; he had also lost his satellite phone.
Otherwise, he would have called for help long ago.
With a seven-day journey, along with the food and water they carried, he and Zhang Fan were confident about getting out of the Gobi, but it wasn’t a safe bet for the rest of the group.
Meanwhile, news about the black storm was spreading online.
Seeing the sky full of yellow sand, the group was incredibly shocked and immediately thought of Zhang Fan, who had posted photos on Weibo two months earlier.
On Weibo, the major influencer Yi Shuihan tagged Zhang Fan’s ID; he had indeed been attracted by Zhang Fan’s Gobi dusk photo two months ago.
As an outdoor tycoon, he had never had the courage to challenge the scenes of the Gobi.
Seeing that Zhang Fan hadn’t updated his Weibo in two months, combined with the current black storm, he became noticeably unsettled.
“Bro, are you still alive?
If you are, give us a sign, and while you’re at it, post the Gobi photos.”
This tag from Yi Shuihan set Weibo abuzz.
“What’s going on?
Yi Shuihan rarely tags anyone.
What’s the situation with this June Snow?
“I remember now, didn’t June Snow post a Gobi selfie two months ago?
Could it be…”
“Crap, a Gobi black storm.”
“What!
A black storm?”
At that moment, another Weibo influencer Desert Camel also spoke up, tagging Zhang Fan’s ID.
“Bro, our Desert Love Group is always keeping an eye on you.
If you’re alive, give us a sign.”
The two influencers’ tags suddenly drew everyone’s attention to the ID June Snow.
The topic of discussion immediately heated up.
“That guy, he should have left the Gobi a long time ago, right?
It’s been two months.”
“Exactly, it’s said that the black storm covered a vast area, and several camel teams have gone missing.”
“Isn’t that terrifying?”
“Heh, you try it and see.”
Before long, this news reached the ears of everyone in the Smack Talk Group.
“Crap, Brother Fan couldn’t still be in the Gobi, right?
I saw two influencers tag him, and he hasn’t replied.”
“Damn, the Gobi?
Didn’t that just have a black storm?”
“Quick, contact Brother Fan!
Yang Haochen, Yang Haochen, get out here!”
“What’s up?” Yang Haochen asked, looking confused.
“Where’s Brother Fan?
Has he returned to Capital City?”
“No, Brother Fan topped the nation with perfect scores; our Capital City has been buzzing, and there are still reporters camped out at Brother Fan’s house.
If he had come back, the whole city would know,” Yang Haochen said.
“This is bad, Brother Fan must still be in the Gobi, he hasn’t been online for two months.”
“Quick, call the police, call the police!”
“I’m on my way, you guys hurry and check with my sisters-in-law to confirm the news,”
“What happened?” Yang Haochen asked.
“A black storm just hit the Gobi,”
“Damn!” Yang Haochen rushed out, wearing slippers, running all the way to the police station.
“I need to report an emergency!”
“What’s up?
Were you robbed?”
“No, no, Zhang Fan is still in the Gobi, the black storm, the black storm, send someone to rescue him quickly!” Yang Haochen’s frantic words made the policemen frown.
“Gobi?
Black storm?
Zhang Fan?
Who is that?”
“Zhang Fan, from our city, the national top student in science!” Yang Haochen roared.
“Zhang Fan?
Damn, Zhang Fan?” The crowd immediately panicked.
“Go call Chief Ding!”
Ding Yang quickly contacted the police on the Gobi side, but after getting the news, his face turned pale.
The black storm was ravaging the entire Gobi, and with the Gobi being so vast, how could they find anyone?
“Is there a distress signal?” Ding Yang asked.
“No, after the black storm hit, even our signals here are bad, not to mention in the Gobi,” replied the Gobi side.
“Is there any way to send a helicopter rescue?
Inside there could be a national top student in science, and another used to be a member of the Dragon Group!”
“What?
National top student in science?
Dragon Group member?” The people on the Gobi side were incredulously shocked.
“Yes, is there any way to send a helicopter rescue?” Ding Yang asked again.
“The entire airspace over the Gobi is filled with sand and dust, helicopters simply can’t get through,” replied the other side.
“And, we don’t know their whereabouts, there’s just no way to conduct a rescue.”
“I understand, sorry to bother you.” Ding Yang hung up the phone, pondered for a moment, and then reported directly to the higher-ups.
Upon seeing Zhang Dongyang’s information, the news quickly spread within Hidden Dragon.
“What, Gecko went into the Gobi and lost contact?”
“Map, map of the Gobi, where did Gecko enter the Gobi!” A middle-aged man immediately roared, a scar crossing his forehead and his nose looking like a centipede, utterly terrifying.
He is now the chief of Hidden Dragon, code name, Black Shark!
“Gobi Town, this is the starting point, did the news come from S city that he was taking his son for training?” Black Shark asked.
“Yes, Captain, here’s all the information on Gecko and his son.” A person handed over a stack of documents.
“Received a third-class merit?
National top student in science?”
“If our younger sister hears this news, she’d definitely be delighted,” Black Shark remarked thoughtfully.
“Have Quicksand calculate, from June 9 to August 20, the possible routes to traverse the Gobi on foot.
Get the helicopters ready, within twenty minutes, I want to see all the ‘Red’ members!” Black Shark’s voice thundered.
“Yes!”
Ten minutes later, including Black Shark, a total of eight people boarded the helicopter.
“Target, Black Rock Town!
Mission, find Gecko!”
“Yes!”
With thunderous voices, they were all members of Hidden Dragon from Zhang Dongyang’s generation, and now, only they were still in service.
In a conference room in an office building in Capital City, everyone stared in horror at Ye Jingtian.
“Whatever method, you must find them for me,” Ye Jingtian’s voice mixed with immense anger.
At the Ouyang household, Ouyang Feng stared at the map of the Gobi on his computer, his eyes flickering.
“Start from Black Rock Town, move toward Gobi Town to search, find them, ten million.”
