Chapter 1941

Even if Yang Lu had thoughts of cooperating, at this moment she understood she had to play hard to get; otherwise the other side would likely seize control of the entire pace, and that was not the outcome Yang Lu wanted to see.

For him now, the most important thing was to use every advantage he had afterwards to get this Uncle Ming to follow the Second Archaeology Team; from the very first time she had contact with Uncle Ming, she had basically seen this point.

The other party had run into her and knew who she was; based on this point, what kind of intentions the other party had became very clear.

At this moment, Uncle Ming watched Yang Lu and the others walk back and drive off, and he could not help but let out a sigh.

Then he fell into thought. The bewitchingly dressed woman beside him not only jabbed Uncle Ming, but immediately said: "What? Saw a beauty and can't move anymore, huh?"

Uncle Ming directly pushed her hand away, then said: "What are you thinking? Do you know who she is?"

"I didn't expect to run into people from the Second Archaeology Team this time. If we can stay with them, this matter might go much more smoothly."

The woman rolled her eyes and said: "What are you thinking? They're exposed to the live broadcast cameras every moment. Don't forget what our real purpose is—going with them would be seeking death, wouldn't it?"

Uncle Ming chuckled and said: "We just want a corpse, that's all. This time we're after money, not lives. Even if the authorities find out, they'll weigh the pros and cons and won't do anything to us."

The woman glared at Uncle Ming again. She felt that Uncle Ming's thinking was definitely dancing on a knife's edge; saying it was like seeking the tiger's skin might not even be enough to describe Uncle Ming's crazy choice at this moment.

In her view, the Uncle Ming before her was a coward. The reason he was seeking the ruins in the Wheel of Samsara this time and trying to find that valuable corpse was solely to help his son pay off debts.

Uncle Ming was now in a state of being strong on the outside but hollow within, and he had poured all his money into this journey, hoping to use this chance to turn his fortunes around in one go.

As long as he found that corpse, it would not only help his son pay off debts but also let him return to his peak.

After all, that corpse was simply too valuable; the buyers had offered a high price. Under such circumstances, Uncle Ming naturally had to achieve his goal at any cost.

This was just as Yang Lu had anticipated—now it was a matter of letting the willing take the bait. Having these people along was the icing on the cake for Yang Lu, but definitely not a lifesaver in a blizzard, so at this moment Yang Lu calmly continued on her way without showing any reaction.

In the car, Wang Kaixuan could not help but scratch his head and ask: "Captain Yang, do we really not need to deal with these people in advance? If there's no other way, contact the officials and just have them persuaded to leave."

Yang Lu heard this and gave a slight smile, then shook her head and said: "If these people are willing to come with us, it will still be beneficial for our upcoming journey."

Everyone looked puzzled, and only Shen Qiong nodded at this moment—she thought the same way, after all they were now heading to the Wheel of Samsara Temple.

And what exactly awaited them at the Evil Luo Sea City they were headed to next was still unclear to everyone. Faced with such a baffling situation, since the other party wanted to actively cooperate with them, why not?

Although everyone didn't understand at first, they immediately thought of the group led by Ma Dagan they had encountered at the beginning in Dragon Ridge Labyrinth. The concept was actually the same. Thinking of this, everyone wore an expression of relief.

Wang Kaixuan could not help but say: "Captain Yang, if we really need them to serve as cannon fodder..."

Just as he said this, Hu Bayi glared at him and said: "What kind of talk is that? We didn't think of using them as cannon fodder—it's just that these people brought it on themselves."

Wang Kaixuan also realized he had said the wrong thing and kept nodding, thinking to himself that the Second Archaeology Team ultimately still represented the authorities.

If they casually thought of finding a group of cannon fodder to scout the way for them, that reputation wouldn't sound good if it got out. Yang Lu was making use of reasonable resources.

As that saying goes, if the other party didn't insist on following them, Yang Lu wouldn't force it; but if they really actively wanted to follow the Second Archaeology Team, Yang Lu would naturally accept it calmly.

The choice was entirely in the other party's hands, and Yang Lu would also emphasize to them beforehand just how dangerous the places they were about to go to were—that was the most important thing.

Although Yang Lu couldn't consider everything perfectly in everything she did, at least in the current situation, Yang Lu felt she had an obligation to educate them on some common sense.

And since these people knew who she was, they should know what the Second Archaeology Team had experienced before.
