Chapter 1831

On the contrary, Wang Wang Kaixuan and Hu Hu Bayi, who had been following Yang Lu for a longer time, stepped forward two paces directly. At this moment they were even closer to Yang Lu, and the look in both their eyes was exceptionally resolute.

They were also using this attitude to prove to Yang Lu that they were absolutely not cowards; under such circumstances, they could not simply abandon Yang Lu and choose to flee on their own.

What difference would that make from those despicable petty people?

Yang Lu watched their reaction and could not help but shake her head. In truth she also understood that these two meant well, and even though she had said such things earlier, they still would not listen to her.

Perhaps under many circumstances Wang Wang Kaixuan and Hu Hu Bayi would obey her orders one hundred percent, but this one hundred percent always carried a flaw.

And this flaw came from changes in subjective circumstances, because the decision Yang Lu had made now left them with no angle from which to obey.

This was the attitude expressed by Hu Hu Bayi and Wang Wang Kaixuan's wordless silence, and they were using this silence to express that they simply would not obey the order Yang Lu had just given.

The next moment, seeing that Yang Lu said nothing, Wang Wang Kaixuan instead grinned and said: "Team Leader Yang, you don't need to say any more. No matter what you say, Old Hu and I absolutely cannot leave."

After speaking, he patted Hu Hu Bayi once and continued: "Right, Old Hu?"

Hu Hu Bayi said nothing, only nodded.

Because right now Hu Hu Bayi understood better than Wang Wang Kaixuan that any words were no match for the most direct action, and if they truly wanted to help Yang Lu do something, they should not be giving her more trouble at this moment.

But if the way of not giving the other party trouble was for them to leave directly, this was something Hu Hu Bayi and Wang Wang Kaixuan absolutely would not agree to.

Even though they clearly knew that their leaving would be advantageous to the overall situation, because even if Yang Lu and Shen Qiong really died here, under such circumstances they could still form another Archaeology Team Two.

Even with one of Hu Hu Bayi or Wang Wang Kaixuan serving as team leader, and then continuing forward under Zhang Lin's guidance, they would still have a chance to break the curse.

Perhaps by then they would even use some other method to obtain the Muchen Pearl; this was what everyone could think of.

But on this point they were all wrong. Zhang Lin knew that no one in this world could replicate the Fuchen Pearl, and if by forceful means they went straight down from here and pierced through the belly of this monster.

And then obtained the Muchen Pearl and began exploring from the surface, if this place really were a sealed space and not a living thing.

Then they would certainly have a chance. But now such a chance was far too slim, and it was precisely because Zhang Lin understood this that he would not let Archaeology Team Two make such a choice.

The choice facing Archaeology Team Two now was only two paths. This was also why Zhang Lin had said all those previous words atop the New Moon Restaurant — having a choice was always better than having none.

For Zhang Lin this was indeed so, but this time Zhang Lin had overlooked one point: some people's standard for choice was not the same.

And for them, sometimes having no choice at all was better than any choice, because some people were simply born with this kind of choice-difficulty affliction. Precisely everyone in Archaeology Team Two except Yang Lu had it, while Yang Lu resolutely made this judgment.

Her decision was also the most optimistic one for the situation that followed.
