Three hours later, Zhang Fan just felt like he was being roasted on the fire.
Hot, very hot.
Long shirts, trousers, and masks made the temperature extremely high.
Even if the wind blows, it is still a heat wave.
Coupled with the weight of more than 50kg on his body, Zhang Fan instantly realized how difficult the next two months of the journey would be.
"Drink water!"
Zhang Dongyang stopped, opened the kettle, took a sip, and handed the kettle to Zhang Fan.
Zhang Fan really wanted to take out the ice cubes and feel refreshed, but when he thought that this was penance, he immediately put away this idea.
After drinking water, Zhang Fan and Zhang Dongyang continued on their way.
At this time, Varidas and a group of people also found Zhang Fan and the others.
"Boss, what do you think they are doing? Hiking across the Gobi? Isn't this an act of seeking death?" a blond foreigner asked, speaking in suppressed Chinese.
"I have to say that the Chinese people are really courageous. Let's take action when they can't hold on any longer." Varidas sat on the camel and looked at the two Zhang Fans who were walking forward with a telescope, a look on his face.
He also showed a faint smile.
Even mercenaries like them don't dare to cross the Gobi on foot. There is always fatal danger in the Gobi.
The setting sun hung in the sky, and its faint afterglow turned the entire Gobi desert into a golden color. Zhang Fan also took out his mobile phone, took a few photos of his father, and then asked his father to take several photos of himself.
"Set up camp."
Zhang Dongyang put his backpack on the ground.
Looking at the strange things, Zhang Fan also became interested.
"Dad, what is this for?"
Zhang Fan started playing with two one-meter-long metal rods. At one end of the metal rods, eight long claws looked like tentacles.
"A support for sleeping!" Zhang Dongyang said, then buried the metal rod on the ground, and tied a hammock to both ends of the metal frame.
"Are we going to sleep here tonight?" Zhang Fan asked differently.
Zhang Dongyang shook his head: "The temperature difference between day and night in the Gobi is huge. Sleeping like this is completely courting death. I have to prepare a sleeping bag."
With that said, Zhang Dongyang took out the sleeping bag and put it on the hammock. After doing this, Zhang Dongyang took out a small bag from Zhang Fan's bag and set up a hammock again.
Later, Zhang Fan saw his father take out a small black package from his bag and tie it under the hammock.
"There are desert snakes and some venomous scorpions in the Gobi. There are things like this. There are no such things in a five-meter radius." Zhang Dongyang explained, and then tied a few thumb-thick things to the metal frame.
"This is a bagpipe to prevent sandstorms. Once this thing sounds, it means that a sandstorm is coming."
"You're quite knowledgeable." Zhang Fan was also speechless.
"If you don't make any preparations and cross the Gobi on foot, you will die." Zhang Dongyang said.
Zhang Fan rolled his eyes, he was well prepared, he had a warehouse of water, a warehouse of ice, a warehouse of beef jerky, and a warehouse of snacks.
Looking at the sun on the horizon, Zhang Fan took a few more photos, ate something, and sent two text messages to Ye Xuan and Zhang Xiaoyuan.
"Everything is fine on the first day, don't worry, the signal is unstable, I guess I won't be able to contact you in the following days."
At the same time, Zhang Fan also posted the photo on Weibo.
The next second, the person who slapped the face became restless.
"Hey, Brother Fan went to the desert?"
"Wori, this is the first day after the college entrance examination, and Brother Fan is going on a trip. He really won't be idle for a moment."
"It's so beautiful. I want to go to the desert to play."
"No, why didn't you see the camel caravan?"
"Brother Fan, do you want to cross the desert on foot? Damn it, you are a role model for us."
Soon, Zhang Fan’s Weibo exploded.
The reply instantly exceeded 100, and it increased in a straight line.
Breaking a thousand, breaking ten thousand!
It even became popular!
"Hey, this guy is quite brave."
"Wow, the desert scenery is so desolate."
“The sunset is so beautiful!”
"Be careful and wait for you to come back."
Weng Shuang also sent a message to Zhang Fan.
Hua Ling: "Boy, I hope you die in the desert, and there will be one less pervert in this world."
Ouyang Feng: "I'll wait for you in Kyoto. I'll ask you for the big sword when I come back!"
Qin Shuang: "Xiaofan, if you need help, call for help. Someone will come to save you. By the way, help me scold Zhang Dongyang, you bastard!"
Ye Jingtian: "Don't get too tanned, be careful we don't recognize you when you come back."
After reading the text messages, Zhang Fan also felt warm. He ate some beef jerky, then got into his sleeping bag, looked at the stars in the sky, and fell asleep.
The next day, Zhang Fan was woken up by his father at only five o'clock.
"Eat something and hit the road." Zhang Dongyang said, and then checked his backpack.
"Check for vipers and venomous scorpions. I don't want to carry these things on the road."
Zhang Fan also felt his scalp numb and immediately checked his backpack.
Fortunately, I didn't find anything strange.
"Where are the people?"
Varigus was holding a telescope, his eyes almost popping out of his head.
People are missing?
"Get up, get up," Variggs urged.
"Boss, it's only seven o'clock." A group of people yawned and said.
"Get up, I'll give you thirty seconds to pack your things and get on the camel!" Varigus said.
An hour later, they saw Zhang Fan and Zhang Dongyang again.
"Boss, let's make a bet to see how many days these two can last."
"I bet on four days!"
"I bet for seven days."
"Ten days at most, no more."
A group of people started to cheer.
Tired, hot, dry mouth, and the occasional wind and sand made the day miserable.
If he hadn't been wearing goggles, Zhang Fan could have sworn that he would have gone blind.
Move forward, move forward silently.
In the first three days, Zhang Fan could still contact Ye Xuan and the others, but after that, there was no signal at all.
Day five.
Zhang Fan felt like a savage, his whole body was so stiff, sweat and sand mingled together, making his whole body uncomfortable.
On the tenth day, Zhang Fan felt that everything he looked at was golden. At this moment, he realized how comfortable he had been in the past.
However, Varigus and the others were completely shocked.
Ten days, ten whole days, Zhang Fan and Zhang Dongyang's speed did not slow down at all.
Day 20!
Zhang Fan felt like he was going crazy.
Walking around, not knowing when it will end, it seems that the whole world has nothing to do with me, lonely and boring, as if it is a nightmare that can swallow me at any time.
"Boss, they've been gone for twenty days, twenty days," a foreigner said to Variggs.
Day 30! Varigus and his group are going crazy.
Zhang Fan encountered a storm for the first time. At this time, he finally knew what the legendary sandstorm looked like.
For two whole hours, it was difficult to move even an inch. Even with a mask on, he could feel that he had eaten a lot of sand!
Day 40!
Zhang Fan was dizzy and confused. If he hadn't looked at his father's figure, he would have thought he was dead.
The sixtieth day!
Zhang Fan's eyes were shining, and those eyes were like the eyes of an eagle, extremely sharp.
Day 65!
Zhang Dongyang stopped and looked at Zhang Fan with long hair, a look of relief on his face.
However, at this time, the edge of the sky was covered with yellow sand like ocean waves, covering the entire sky.
"Run, throw away everything except food and water." Zhang Dongyang's face changed drastically.
"What's wrong, dad!" Zhang Fan's voice was extremely hoarse.
