Chapter 2162: The corpse disappeared inexplicably
Of course, if Yang Lusi really couldn't analyze the subsequent matters according to her own imagination, then Zhang Lin would also fulfill his obligation.
Helping them guide the subsequent matters to a positive result—this was certain.
When Archaeological Team 2 woke up, Mr. Ming and his group also followed them out of the tents simultaneously. For Mr. Ming, the most important thing now was to follow Archaeological Team 2 closely.
Because what had happened before had already far exceeded Mr. Ming's cognition. At first, in Mr. Ming's mind, he didn't think this matter would be pushed infinitely in this direction; he himself was still holding onto that naive idea.
Perhaps it was precisely this naivety that harmed Mr. Ming, and he also concluded that such an idea had no problems.
But now, if he still held onto such a way to imagine the subsequent problems, then the result was destined to be something Mr. Ming could not accept; this was indisputable.
Therefore, Mr. Ming had become much more honest for the time being, unless he discovered certain crises, from the angle Mr. Ming determined.
Under the condition that it would definitely pose a threat to his life, perhaps he would abandon this posture he had originally maintained and continue to bicker with the examiner about the subsequent situation.
Even now, from Mr. Ming's perspective, he had already begun to question Zhang Lin, although he had raised such doubts in words before.
But deep down, he still trusted Zhang Lin, and he had followed Archaeological Team 2 in the first place not because of how Yang Lusi was.
It was entirely because Zhang Lin behind her could help Archaeological Team 2 point out a clear direction, and besides, this kind of thing had not happened for the first time.
Previously, Zhang Lin had already been constantly guiding Archaeological Team 2 on how to face the situation from his own perspective. With these premises as a baseline, Mr. Ming would choose to follow Archaeological Team 2 without hesitation.
Even when Yang Lusi didn't want to agree at the time, he would rather be thick-skinned and make the other party agree to them quickly.
Of course, if it weren't for the scripture scrolls later, it would have been impossible for Yang Lusi to let them follow her.
Facts proved that the scripture scrolls did indeed play a role. Of course, Mr. Ming did not distinguish this; he only thought that the Ancient Lalo Silver Eye pointed to by the scripture scrolls was just a coincidence.
Even if they didn't have the scripture scrolls, they might have been able to find this map, so Mr. Ming did not brag about how much contribution he had made to the archaeological team.
From this point, it could be seen even more that Mr. Ming's so-called cleverness was indeed not used in the right place; he could think of consuming Sister Hong's death, but he couldn't think of consuming the residual value brought by these scripture scrolls.
Waking up from a sleep, the sadness in Mr. Ming's eyes seemed to have disappeared.
It could be said that he accepted reality very quickly, or it could be said that this person simply had no real feelings.
And the things he showed during the time he was crying on the corpse were all fake, but others didn't care about these anymore.
Just at this moment, Peter ran over busily. He suddenly pointed to the blanket covering Sister Hong's corpse and said busily: "Boss, something happened!"
Mr. Ming's heart skipped a beat. He didn't care at all where Peter was pointing; he looked around with some vigilance. Now, for him, these few words were the most unacceptable.
If something really happened, then the subsequent result would be that he would continue to run around in exhaustion, and even the entire Archaeological Team 2 would have to follow along.
Mr. Ming didn't want his people to cause any more trouble. Now Archaeological Team 2 had issued an ultimatum, and Mr. Ming believed that Yang Lusi was not joking.
If he caused any more trouble later, it might lead to Archaeological Team 2 simply ignoring him anymore.
Instead, they would continue to do their own things, and it would be absolutely impossible for Mr. Ming and his group to continue following.
Mr. Ming knew very well that Archaeological Team 2 let him follow, so he could follow. If the other party firmly resisted this behavior, they might directly bury traps on the subsequent road, causing them to fall into the traps after walking over, and then die.
Yang Lusi said that as long as Mr. Ming caused any more trouble, she would definitely not let him off, but this "not letting off" from some angles would also derive different results.
Mr. Ming saw this very clearly. Now Yang Lusi didn't need to kill him herself; in that case, it wouldn't cause any public opinion from the official side.
She only needed to let them stay here. Later, the Wang family members might come. Under this premise, Mr. Ming might choose to be their lackey, and in the end, he would naturally be condemned by everyone; this was a matter of course.
And the reason why Mr. Ming was briefly quiet now was precisely because he saw this reality. Based on this reality, he showed sufficient nervousness about what Peter said.
The next moment, Peter's words made Mr. Ming's nervous mood slightly better.
"Sister Hong is gone!"
Mr. Ming was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.
"How could a dead person disappear?"
Peter didn't want to continue bickering with Mr. Ming anymore. Even if they were at odds with Archaeological Team 2 now, Peter still ran toward Yang Lusi's side.
He said immediately: "Team Leader Yang, Sister Hong's corpse is gone, it seems something happened!"
Yang Lusi raised her eyebrows upon hearing this. In fact, Peter was not making a mountain out of a molehill at all, although they had been resting all night.
However, Yang Lusi's habit was to keep one eye open when sleeping in such a place. Once any unexpected situation appeared, Yang Lusi could react at the first moment.
So Sister Hong's corpse was gone, and it was not far away, yet she didn't hear any movement. This matter could be big or small. For Yang Lusi, if she didn't take it seriously, it might lead to their subsequent plans collapsing together.
Yang Lusi, who thought this through, ran quickly toward the place where Sister Hong's corpse was placed. Wang Kaixuan and Fatty also hurried to follow.
For them, this matter didn't seem to be a big deal. Perhaps from their perspective, Sister Hong's corpse disappeared, at most it was dragged away by wolves.
Wang Kaixuan saw this scene and immediately said: "Team Leader Yang, maybe wolves came in the middle of the night and dragged it away. These wolves don't know how long they have been hungry."
Yang Lusi hadn't spoken yet, Chu Yi shook his head directly and said: "Since the corpses of the wolves are all around, and there is blood, it couldn't be those wolves. Besides, there are no wolf footprints around at all."
Wang Kaixuan obviously didn't agree with Chu Yi's idea. He said bluntly: "Chu Yi, it's not that I'm questioning the effectiveness of your defensive measures!"
