(First update) 326: Chapter 326: Am I that scary?
(First update) Looking at the replies from the brothers and sisters of the Face-Slapping Group, a smile also appeared on the corners of Zhang Fan’s mouth.
Opening the notifications that mentioned him, Zhang Fan replied with three words each to Yisuihan and Desert Camel.
Squeak Squeak Squeak!
However, just at the next moment, Yisuihan sent a message back.
“Brother, you’ve got quite the toughness.”
Zhang Fan replied, “A mere desert land, how could it trap us?”
Yisuihan took a screenshot of Zhang Fan’s reply and then posted a Weibo.
“This is the most arrogant person I’ve ever seen, bar none, but, I like it.”
As soon as Yisuihan’s Weibo was posted, the entire Weibo community was stirred up.
“Damn, is this that June Snowflakes Yisuihan mentioned?”
“Holy, did this guy really walk out of the Gobi alive?”
“This couldn’t be a publicity stunt, could it?”
However, just as Zhang Fan released all the photos from the desert, a bunch of people were dumbfounded.
“F*ck, is this really the Gobi?”
“Wow, is this the majestic scenery of the Gobi?
So beautiful.”
“Damn it, were these gullies left by the black storm?”
“Heavens, the destructive power is just too shocking.”
In ten minutes, Zhang Fan’s Weibo followers skyrocketed, fifty thousand, a hundred thousand!
Meanwhile, Zhang Fan’s photos were being shared by a group of people.
That sunset, that sunrise, those golden dunes, simply too beautiful for words.
At this moment, Desert Camel replied to Zhang Fan as well.
“Brother, can I borrow a few photos to use?”
“Help yourself!” Zhang Fan replied, and immediately turned off his phone.
“The photos are beautiful, but for the photography skills, I can only give one point.”
Comments were flying all over Weibo.
“Master, you’re an expert in Gobi studies, looking at these pictures, could they be photoshopped?”
Some people harbored deep skepticism about Zhang Fan’s journey on foot.
After all, that was the Gobi, and, on top of that, there had been a black storm.
“The photos are real, but as for whether the person in the pictures truly went through over two months of trekking on foot, that still needs to be investigated.”
Some big shots who study the Gobi have spoken out as well.
They were not quite convinced about Zhang Fan and Zhang Dongyang trekking through the Gobi on foot.
“Damn it, if anyone dares to say our Brother Fan’s trek through the Gobi is fake, brothers, let’s go, smack them down!”
The next moment, countless armies from the Face-Slapping Group directly assaulted that expert’s Weibo.
“I think you’ve not only never eaten pork, but also have never seen a pig run; if you’re so great, why don’t you take a walk in the Gobi yourself?”
“Hmph, what kind of crap Gobi expert are you, just a brick layer right?”
“Haha, if I don’t flood your Weibo today, then I’m damn well not the deputy leader.”
“Hey hey hey, you up there, come here, stretch your head over, if I don’t beat you to death, deputy leader, I’m yours.”
In just half an hour, that expert’s Weibo completely exploded.
Soon after, series by series of photos of Zhang Fan and Zhang Dongyang setting out on foot from the Gobi were uploaded by people.
“June the ninth, I remember that day well; taking this photo, to be honest, I initially did it with a mindset of watching a show.
After all, no one has ever dared to enter the Gobi without a caravan of camels.”
When people saw this photo, the excitement erupted once again.
“Looking at the timestamp on the photo, it’s June 9th, and I’ve already verified it, definitely not photoshopped.”
“Wow, damn, is this actually real?”
Following that, photos from Black Rock Town were also shared around.
Over eighty people, a massive team, slowly emerged from the Gobi.
As they looked at Zhang Fan leading at the front, everyone was simply in awe.
“Damn, how did so many people suddenly show up?”
“See, I told you it was fake.”
However, at that moment, the person who posted the photo replied dismissively, “A bunch of idiots, these people are a rescue team, that photo was taken three days ago when they entered the Gobi from Black Rock Town.”
Immediately after, someone posted the pictures of the four teams entering the Gobi again.
“Damn, I’m convinced!
I’m truly convinced!”
“Hahaha, who’s up for a trip to the Gobi?”
“Idiot, I sure as hell don’t feel like dying.
I never want to go to the Gobi in my life!”
However, ten minutes after Black Shark’s photos appeared, all the photos related to Black Shark mysteriously disappeared!
Nevertheless, this did nothing to affect the matter’s popularity.
In the early morning, Zhang Fan looked at Weng Shuang, who was still sound asleep, bent down, and gently kissed her forehead before carefully getting dressed and stepping out the door.
The moment he closed the door, Weng Shuang opened her eyes.
Thinking about the previous day’s madness, her pretty face blushed pink.
With his stuff packed and accompanied by his father, Zhang Fan arrived at the Armed Department.
“Yo, yo, yo, our little perv is finally off to torment others,” Hua Ling and the others teased him.
“Make it good.
If you don’t become a Special Soldier, I’ll look down on you,” Hua Ling said, patting Zhang Fan’s shoulder.
To that, Zhang Fan just flipped his middle finger, “If I don’t become a king of soldiers, I’d look down on myself.”
“Stop the nonsense, take this,” Zhang Dongyang handed over a pocket watch to Zhang Fan.
Zhang Fan took the pocket watch, opened it to glimpse at his mother’s face, then slipped it into his pocket, carefully stowing it in the warehouse.
“Dad, don’t worry.
I’ll take care of mom’s matters,” Zhang Fan said solemnly, his words echoing like a vow.
“Do your best, don’t stress yourself out too much.
You’re still young, you’ve got plenty of time,” Zhang Dongyang patted Zhang Fan’s shoulder.
“Alright, get in the car,” Ding Yang urged.
Zhang Fan, with his bag on his back, jumped onto the military vehicle, waving his hand to his father and the others.
From the corner of his eye, he saw Weng Shuang standing in the distance.
Her lips moved slightly as if she were saying—
I’ll wait for you!
Meanwhile, the group undergoing a physical examination at the Armed Department stared at Zhang Fan with widened eyes.
“Wow, isn’t enlistment supposed to start on September 1st?
How come Zhang Fan is leaving now?”
Somewhat confused, they carried on.
“I’m saying, this speed is just too slow, let me drive,” Zhang Fan could hardly stand the snail’s pace of the vehicle and turned to speak to the driver.
“Brother, stop kidding.
If we let you drive, we’d probably make the front page.
Sit tight, we’re off to pick someone up in City B and then head directly to the rendezvous point.”
Slow?
The speed was nearly a hundred miles an hour, mind you.
“Pick up someone?
Are there more people?” Zhang Fan asked.
“Yeah, there are only three of us from SC province, and you know the other two,” the driver said.
“I know them?
Who are they?”
“Li Yu, Han Xu!”
“Ah?
Them?
They’re not cut out for it, they’re too weak,” Zhang Fan said with a smack of his lips.
The driver rolled his eyes.
Weak?
It’s just that you’re too strong, alright.
Especially Li Yu.
That guy has been practicing martial arts since childhood, and you made him cry.
It must have been so frustrating.
But the driver’s face was also lit up with a bright smile; he was eager to see the expression on Li Yu’s face when he saw Zhang Fan.
The vehicle raced along rapidly, and when Li Yu and Han Xu hopped aboard, seeing Zhang Fan’s faintly smiling face, their legs gave out and they collapsed onto the vehicle.
“Bro, give me a break, am I that scary?” Zhang Fan teased.
