Chapter 1409: Yang Lu ordered everyone to leave! She would return shortly!

Zhang Lin never did anything superfluous; every word he spoke carried that kind of necessity.

If not for his words, these people from the Second Archaeological Team would never have made it to this day; they would have long since died somewhere unknown.

The members of the Second Archaeological Team had reached a tacit consensus on this point, and it was precisely because of this consensus that they were so incredibly firm about the path they were to take next.

However, Ma Dadan and his group had not been instilled with such ideas, and even though they saw this situation unfold, they still lacked any confidence.

Ma Dadan took a deep breath, repeatedly pondering Yang Lu's previous words.

At this moment, the camera pulled back bit by bit, the live-stream lens naturally focused on Yang Lu and the others.

They had heard the doubts raised by Ma Dadan, and the live-stream comments were filled with mockery.

【This Ma Dadan really doesn't know what's good for him. Team Leader Yang finally gave him a chance, and he doesn't even cherish it.】

【Actually, you can think about it if you set aside the premise that he is a tomb raider.】

【What do you mean set aside that premise? The authorities said he came out of the Longling Maze, and nothing is settled yet.】

【I mean he hasn't been exposed to live-streaming, and he doesn't know who Mr. Zhang is, so this is just instinct.】

【What instinct? The instinct of distrust? He doesn't trust that Mr. Zhang can bring him a chance at survival?】

【Even if he doesn't know who Mr. Zhang is, he has already seen Team Leader Yang's skills.】

【To put it bluntly, this person is just narrow-minded.】

【Stop blabbering, everyone. Ma Dadan's business isn't important at all. If the path ahead really couldn't be navigated without him, Mr. Zhang would have stated it clearly.】

【No argument there. If that were the case, it definitely wouldn't be such an ambiguous answer.】

This remark hit the nail on the head.

But at the Crescent Hotel, there were still people who were not quite sure about this answer.

Someone immediately raised their hand and asked: "Mr. Zhang, if Ma Dadan and his group really don't continue with Team Leader Yang and the others, will it affect the subsequent progress of the Second Archaeological Team?"

Zhang Lin nodded first, then shook his head and said: "There will certainly be an impact, but it won't be fatal. Even if some of the mechanisms ahead require more hands than they have, it will be nothing more than a bit of trouble."

"I have a way to help them solve this problem!"

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Zhang Lin had not disappointed them after all.

Everything had a solution; there were not as many desperate situations as they seemed. What appeared to be a dead end in the eyes of others...

... was always a place where Zhang Lin could find a way out. This was true ninety percent of the time.

This was why, when Zhang Lin had been pessimistic before, everyone felt despair.

It was precisely because they understood Zhang Lin so well; if he felt despair, it meant the turning point for the situation was truly slim.

But now, with Zhang Lin's words, everything naturally turned around. Everyone understood that the answer Zhang Lin gave now was the most certain one.

As long as they trusted Zhang Lin, all the crises of the Second Archaeological Team could be solved with ease, just like before.

Looking back at the Second Archaeological Team, when Yang Lu and the others had walked a hundred or two hundred meters, the sound of footsteps behind them gradually became hurried. None of the five looked back.

Ma Dadan and his men walked over, looking dejected.

When they arrived, five or six people were missing; it seemed some had not followed Ma Dadan's advice and had chosen to stay behind or turn back.

Yang Lu said nothing, and the group continued walking forward.

Less than two minutes later, countless screams and wails suddenly came from behind.

Yang Lu turned back abruptly, her eyes narrowing, and Ma Dadan realized something at that moment!

Although she only treated these people as her tools, and only a few had a very good relationship with her, watching them die right before her eyes was still very difficult for her to bear.

Ma Dadan couldn't help but say: "Didn't your Mr. Zhang say there was no more danger ahead? Why are they still dying while staying there?"

Before he could finish, Wang Kaixuan kicked him, not letting him continue to disturb Yang Lu's thoughts.

At this moment, everyone was caught in confusion, but Yang Lu immediately determined what was happening, thinking to herself that Master Brother was right.

Whether it was the judgment regarding the tomb or the nature of these outsiders, Zhang Lin's words were correct.

Yang Lu then said in a low voice: "It seems we must hurry forward; that group has likely already made their move."

Yang Lu's judgment as to why such screams were emitted was completely correct.

These people had no intention of giving the Second Archaeological Team any chance, simply because Wang Canghai had already given the order.

At this moment, Yang Lu suddenly said: "Shen Qiong, you take them and hurry forward. As soon as you encounter the spider nest, stop and wait. I will go back to check the situation and then rendezvous with you."

"No!" The four of them rejected Yang Lu's suggestion almost in unison.

Going back to look now seemed to have no meaning, because this group was destined to catch up.

But Yang Lu shook her head and said: "I must go back and check the situation. If this group catches up, we must set an ambush; perhaps we can even use the spiders to set a trap for them."

Even though Yang Lusi knew that someone was watching the live stream, and that the commander behind them was also using the live stream to discern the actions of the Second Archaeological Team, which was the only reason this group had managed to catch up.

Yet, Yang Lusi did not shy away from speaking such words right now. Although the others were puzzled, Wang Kaixuan immediately said, "Team Leader Yang, I'll go with you."

Yang Lusi gave him a hard shove, pushing him toward the front, and said, "None of you need to go; I won't let them discover me."

This statement could fool no one; their status was under the live stream, so how could it be possible not to be discovered?

And the moment Yang Lusi went back, she would certainly be caught red-handed, which was the main reason they were uneasy.

After hearing this decision from Yang Lusi, Zhang Lin could not help but curl his lips into a smile; he thought to himself that this was a classic open conspiracy!

If Wang Canghai were not in such an extreme environment and already struggling to suppress his own anger, perhaps such a method would not have had the corresponding effect.

But now, the situation had directly changed.

Someone in the Crescent Hotel hurriedly raised their hand and asked, "Mr. Zhang, is there some other reason for Leader Yang to do this?"

Zhang Lin smiled indifferently and did not offer any explanation, only saying, "Just keep watching."
