323: Chapter 323: Towering Waves (Second Update) 323: Chapter 323: Towering Waves (Second Update) Four hours had passed, and Zhang Dongyang looked in the direction Zhang Fan had gone, his eyes flashing with worry.
He could be said to have run for two hours, yet he hadn’t found even a bit of anything green.
Looking at Varidas and his group’s expectant expressions, Zhang Dongyang sighed.
He wondered how many of this group would remain once they set out.
A group of people sat on a small sand dune, their gaze lingering in the direction Zhang Fan had taken.
Soon, Zhang Dongyang stood up.
The person sprinting with a backpack in tow, if not Zhang Fan, then who?
But the next moment, seeing the figure behind Zhang Fan, Zhang Dongyang drew his Military Dagger and dashed towards Zhang Fan.
“Dad, run fast, a herd of beasts is coming, their Combat Power is through the roof.” Zhang Fan shouted.
Zhang Dongyang’s eyes glinted with a dangerous light, and as he finally got a clear view of Black Shark following behind, he fiercely rubbed his eyes.
Zhang Dongyang’s body trembled slightly, looking at the centipede-like scar on Black Shark’s nose, his eyes misted over.
He still remembered that was from their first mission, where out of the twelve brothers who went, only ten returned; the scar on Black Shark’s face was also because he had saved him.
“Dad, why are you standing there stunned?
There are five of them, and I can’t take them all down by myself,” Zhang Fan hurriedly turned back and stood by his father’s side.
“Five more?” Zhang Dongyang got thoroughly excited.
“Yes!” Zhang Fan nodded.
“Could it be that Second Brother and the others have arrived?” Zhang Dongyang’s voice shook.
“Huh?” Zhang Fan looked confused!
But the next moment, Zhang Fan glared at Varidas and his group and roared, “Are you just going to watch the show?
Come help out; there’s trouble, and let me tell you, those who don’t come down don’t get any water.”
Seeing the heavy backpack in Zhang Fan’s hand, Varidas and his group grew excited.
Had Zhang Fan really found water?
The next moment, twenty people charged down as if they had gone mad.
“Did you really find water?” Varidas grabbed Zhang Fan’s shoulder, shaking him vigorously.
He was aware of their team’s condition; without water, they definitely wouldn’t make it out of the Gobi.
“Never mind the damn water, let’s deal with this guy first,” Zhang Fan pointed at Black Shark approaching from a short distance.
Varidas and his group immediately looked over, their hands itching for action.
“Don’t worry, leave him to us!”
“Little Brother, long time no see!”
Black Shark stood twenty meters away, that smile on his face sending chills down Zhang Fan’s spine.
Wait, Little Brother?
Shit, does he know my dad?
“Boss, long time no see!” Zhang Dongyang dropped his Military Dagger and ran over.
Watching the two big men embrace, everyone was flabbergasted!
Weren’t they supposed to take that man down?
How did it turn into a hug?
Varidas looked on with a wry smile: “Kid, are you playing with us?
Zhang Fan’s mouth hung open: “Damn it, if you knew each other, say so sooner.
I almost got killed.”
“Kid, come here, this is your Uncle Black Shark!” Zhang Dongyang wiped the corner of his eye, then beckoned Zhang Fan over.
Zhang Fan rolled his eyes and slowly walked over: “Hello Uncle Black Shark, you should have said you knew me sooner; you chased me for ten kilometers, I almost ran my legs off.”
Black Shark burst into hearty laughter, looking at Zhang Fan as if he were a treasure: “Seeing you and Second Brother fighting so fiercely, I just wanted to test your abilities.”
Zhang Fan immediately widened his eyes, “Happy with the beating?
I almost got killed, you know.”
“What happened?” Zhang Dongyang also felt a surge of fear.
Of course, he knew who Old Second was—the crow, the second-ranked expert in Hidden Dragon.
Zhang Fan had fought with Old Second?
“Well, after I found a water source, I sat down to rest.
Then this fierce-looking guy with a Military Dagger suddenly came up to me.
I thought he was some mercenary, so I went for him.
Turns out, I couldn’t beat him,” Zhang Fan said with a shrug.
“Who asked you to go off-script?” Black Shark couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the explanation.
If the mighty Old Second of Hidden Dragon was taken down by you, could Dragon Group still be called the strongest special forces in Huaxia?
But immediately, Black Shark’s eyes started to twinkle.
He had witnessed Zhang Fan’s strength firsthand.
Being able to fight more than ten rounds with the crow was almost comparable to the Dragon Group’s reserves.
Soon, he reacted and stared at Zhang Dongyang, saying immediately, “Are you thinking of getting him into the military?”
Zhang Dongyang nodded, “He’s idle anyway, might as well give his willpower a workout.”
Hearing Zhang Dongyang’s response, Black Shark burst into laughter, “Good, good, good, not bad.
This kid—I indeed have a place for him to go.”
Zhang Dongyang quickly asked, “Where?”
Black Shark smiled, glanced at Varidas and his group not far away, and slowly said, “I’ll tell you afterward.”
Soon, the Crow and the other four also came over.
When they saw Zhang Dongyang, they were all very excited.
The five of them threw their backpacks on the ground and rushed over.
Seeing his father’s excited look, Zhang Fan also felt quite envious.
Is this what comrades-in-arms are like?
“Hey, kid, why aren’t you running now?” Crow looked at Zhang Fan with a thick teasing expression on his face.
Zhang Fan, this is your Uncle Crow!” Zhang Dongyang quickly waved his hand and said.
Youngest, is this your son?”
The other four exclaimed simultaneously.
However, the Crow’s eyes bulged out like a bull’s.
“This is your son?” He looked at Zhang Dongyang incredulously, then glared fiercely at Zhang Fan.
Damn it, the person he had been fighting with all out for more than ten rounds was Zhang Dongyang’s son?
At this moment, Crow just wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
How embarrassing, how embarrassing!
Zhang Fan muttered, “Since when do elders demand the life of a junior on first meeting?”
Hearing Zhang Fan’s voice, Crow felt even more unable to show his face, but then he murmured, “It was you who pulled the knife first, okay?”
Black Shark and the others couldn’t contain their laughter.
“Enough already, Old Second, stop embarrassing yourself,” said Black Shark, and then he turned to Zhang Dongyang, “Let’s hurry out.”
“Alright!” Zhang Dongyang nodded, picked up the backpacks from the ground, and said to Varidas and his group, “Let’s go.”
Just then, Black Shark’s gaze froze, staring at Zhang Dongyang’s arm with disbelief.
“Youngest, your hand is healed?” Black Shark exclaimed.
“Huh?” Zhang Dongyang was startled for a moment but then nodded his head.
“Damn, Youngest, your hand has healed,” the Crow and the others also shouted excitedly.
Zhang Dongyang’s retirement was due to the problem with his hand.
They remembered this clearly.
“What’s the big deal,” Zhang Fan rolled his eyes.
“What do you know, if it weren’t for your dad’s hand injury, how could he have been defeated by the Bai Family, otherwise, how would your mom…”
Zhang Dongyang and Black Shark both scolded Crow at the same time.
“My mom?” Zhang Fan felt as if struck by lightning, his eyes dead fixed on Crow, that strange yet familiar term stirring up a massive wave in his heart.
