Chapter 2077

~7 min read 1,257 words

Mr. Wang has destroyed everything, so what should he do?

That is to say, in a situation where not a single clue can be found, the two teams currently sent out will both become isolated islands.

They can find neither the front nor the rear, and they do not even know what the things they have insisted on all along actually mean. Once the main commander flees, the team will naturally scatter.

If this reminder from Zhang Lin were taken to heart by Wang Cen, or even if he contacted Mr. Wang directly right now, perhaps his first thought would be that the authorities intercepted the signal in some way; even for satellite signals, the authorities have ways, and they control the source of signals in all general environments.

Based on this, he cannot be fooled, but sincerity is the best weapon; reality can crush the defenses in a person's heart better than any answer. If everything Zhang Lin said is true, then Wang Cen would not know how to persist, or even where to go next.

For Wang Cen, any matter loses its original reason for choosing to persist on this baseline, because his faith has collapsed!

Previously, whether it was Wang Canghai or Mr. Wang, everyone had thought that the collapse of faith was terrifying, and for someone like Wang Cen, the terror of such a faith collapse is even magnified many times over.

If Wang Canghai appears in time, he will hold a sharp blade capable of cutting through iron like mud in his hand; if Wang Canghai is unable to contact Wang Cen at the critical moment, then Wang Cen will be completely ruined.

Everything will then continue to develop according to the rhythm Zhang Lin envisioned; that is a result Wang Canghai would never want to see, but even so, Wang Canghai cannot stop shaking his head and sighing.

He understands that even if there are results he does not want to see, since reality has pushed to this situation, Wang Canghai understands that he has long had no other choice.

Just like the method he thought of an hour ago, the only thing he can do is hurry to the Wang family headquarters. No matter what situation reality has pushed to, at least if he arrives there, he can still think of a way based on his own abilities; it is better than just talking and feeling melancholy now.

Wang Canghai has lived for over three hundred years, and he swears he has never been so urgent, and all the current situations tell him of Zhang Lin's terror.

Even if he had such an awareness before, the degree of Zhang Lin's terror has been constantly intensifying; by the time Wang Canghai realized he had no way out, everything was basically already too late.

Thinking of this, Wang Canghai shook his head violently; he understands that he absolutely cannot continue to imagine further, because everything that follows is a dead end.

Wang Canghai understands this principle very well; if there had been hope at the beginning, he would not have fallen to today's end, and Wang Canghai is regretful in his heart.

He regrets not having fought this round, or rather every round, against Zhang Lin. He now has to admit that Zhang Lin was right before; that is, when the two of them really faced each other to discuss those situations, Wang Canghai suddenly realized that Zhang Lin's words had a mocking tone.

So at that time, no matter what Zhang Lin said, Wang Canghai did not take it to heart, but today, with all reality pushed to this node, Wang Canghai perhaps already understands very clearly that what Zhang Lin said was incredibly true.

But to continue to dwell on it, to imagine it, and to fill in the blanks of possible crises by oneself will lose all meaning.

Based on this, Wang Canghai now appears very calm, even so calm as if nothing had happened. Regardless of anyone's betrayal or anything happening on this level of reality, Wang Canghai firmly tells himself that dealing with it in a completely peaceful way is the right path.

If his spirit collapses first now, it will certainly not play any good role for subsequent matters. Having figured all this out, Wang Canghai restrained all his emotions.

Looking at the other side, Wu Tianzhen of the first archaeological team looked deeply at Wang Cen. Wu Tianzhen certainly would not believe what Wang Cen said. He originally thought that since he did not believe it, the other party would subconsciously blurt out what discoveries they had made.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Wang Cen actually started to be coy, as if they were old acquaintances.

The next moment, Wang Cen said with a half-smile: "Guess what I found?"

Wu Tianzhen frowned slightly. At this time, the other party deliberately being coy meant there might really be some incredible discovery. Having figured this out, Wu Tianzhen secretly pondered the situation that might arise next.

But Fatty did not have that much patience. After hearing this sentence, he said sternly: "What is wrong with you! If you have something to say, spit it out! Are you out of words?!"

Fatty is just such a person; he never gives his enemies a pleasant look. If it were not for Wu Tianzhen being there, or because he had received the message passed on by Zhang Lin earlier, in Fatty's view, he would absolutely not reach any cooperation intention with the other party.

Fatty does not want to do things like seeking skin from a tiger. Even if he is not afraid, some enemies are truly annoying, but relatively speaking, Fatty does not mind discussing cooperation with enemies worthy of respect.

But now it is very obvious that this definitely does not include the Wang family. Wang Cen still did not look at Fatty; for him, talking to Fatty now feels very demeaning.

Just as he was being coy, someone suddenly ran over from afar, with bandages wrapped around his hand, and Wu Tianzhen only glanced at this person once and inexplicably felt a bit strange.

This person did not come from the Wang family. When the Wang family first arrived here, they found a local guide who had been in the Wang family's team all along.

If a normal archaeological team or tourists were looking for a guide, it would be understandable, but for this group of Wang family members, anyone with a brain should be able to see that they are certainly not good people. Since that is the case, the fact that he still dared to be their guide shows that this guide himself is not a pushover either.

Therefore, Wu Tianzhen was on guard everywhere and paid attention to every step. He did not expect this guide to be injured at this moment. Wu Tianzhen is very curious about how he got injured.

Zhang Lin, who was above the Crescent Hotel, also noticed the wound on Shunzi's hand, and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl into a smile, but he said nothing. For him, although he had suspicions, the situation at the Heavenly Palace in the Clouds is different from other places, and he cannot directly state the things he suspects.

Even if some things are certain, Zhang Lin must find a way to hide these certain things under certain circumstances, because he has to face not only the two archaeological teams but also the situation of the Wang family members.
