Chapter 2388
Uncle Ming happened to break free from his restraints at this time and ran into the room without delay.
The moment the door opened, everyone smelled the aroma of stewed meat coming from the room, but Yang Lu frowned very deeply.
The ancient city had been sealed for who knows how many years. At this moment, it was deliberately under the golden light. The most critical thing was that there was no dust above, so Yang Lu had originally thought that there was a hidden murderous intent here.
Seeing the situation in the room at this moment, it was not just that. It seemed as if someone were living here. The stove fire in the room was burning, and a copper pot was placed on the stove, with beef stewing inside.
The scene was truly as strange as it could be!
Even if one didn't have a brain, one should understand that an inexplicable monster might jump out from somewhere at any time and take someone's life.
Yang Lu took a deep breath and didn't pay any attention to Uncle Ming.
Peter hurried to catch up. Uncle Ming had already grabbed a piece of meat from the pot. He didn't even mind that it was hot, and put it directly into his mouth.
At the Crescent Hotel, Zhang Lin raised a strange smile at the corner of his mouth and said immediately: "This makes it even harder for him to survive!"
Everyone looked at Zhang Lin suspiciously, and someone asked hurriedly: "Mr. Zhang, did you already see something earlier?"
Zhang Lin nodded without hesitation and said immediately: "In fact, if this old guy hadn't gone too far before, I might have mentioned it when I saw the situation and saved his life, but now I don't have the mood."
In fact, what Zhang Lin said also revealed some subtext: Yang Lu didn't do things to the extreme because she had concerns. After all, the other party was the leader of the archaeological team. Under this premise, she couldn't really go too far!
But Zhang Lin didn't have such scruples. Since some people didn't know whether they were living or dying, and used his things to threaten the Second Archaeological Team, then his only fate was to accept death, nothing else.
Zhang Lin was more certain of this than anyone else.
That was why Zhang Lin expressed such emotions at this moment.
After hearing Zhang Lin's explanation, everyone nodded. At the same time, many people showed bitter smiles. They knew that Zhang Lin definitely had a dark side.
But they didn't expect him to do things so imperceptibly, and none of them had reacted to it before this.
Zhang Lin wanted to use this way to teach Uncle Ming a lesson. Of course, looking at it now, it wasn't just a simple lesson. The key was that Uncle Ming should already be beyond saving.
Thinking of this, someone couldn't help but raise their hand and ask: "Mr. Zhang, is this Uncle Ming definitely beyond saving?"
Zhang Lin smiled indifferently: "Actually, not necessarily. There is still a glimmer of hope!"
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at each other. They didn't know whether the glimmer of hope Zhang Lin spoke of was a joke or real.
And this news was also directly transmitted to the Second Archaeological Team. Yang Lu couldn't help but shake her head helplessly as she looked at Uncle Ming. When she picked up the satellite communication, it was on speakerphone, and Peter also heard the news from the Crescent Hotel transmitted by the official side.
At this time, Peter tried his best to pull Uncle Ming away.
But Uncle Ming was still wolfing down the food. Zhang Lin didn't explain how Uncle Ming was poisoned, but since he was sure the other party was poisoned, it meant he had already seen through everything before this.
What a person like Zhang Lin says is absolutely a nail-in-the-coffin fact; no one can raise the slightest doubt.
But precisely because of this, the emotion in Peter's eyes became increasingly dim. It was clear that if things were allowed to go on like this, then Uncle Ming's final result would be a dead end.
He stopped trying to stop Uncle Ming. Anyway, the result was right there. The only person who could save Uncle Ming was Mr. Zhang from the Crescent Hotel.
As long as he could show mercy and tell the method of treatment, then Uncle Ming would definitely be able to turn danger into safety. So Peter didn't think much and immediately knelt down to Yang Lu.
Yang Lu had actually long expected that Peter would do this, because the previous events had already proven how loyal he was to Uncle Ming.
Thinking that this time would be no exception, Yang Lu shook her head helplessly and didn't go to help Peter up.
Instead, she looked at Uncle Ming. In fact, only Yang Lu understood the subtext Zhang Lin had just conveyed. Zhang Lin said there was a glimmer of hope, but this decision couldn't be made by him, but by herself.
If Yang Lu determined that Uncle Ming really deserved to die, then even if there were a way to save Uncle Ming, Zhang Lin wouldn't tell anyone.
Just letting Uncle Ming go on like this would be fine; there was no need to worry about those messy things at all. At this moment, Yang Lu was also struggling in her heart. They had come to this inexplicable place.
Experiencing these inexplicable things, many people would rather see the kind of fatal crisis from before than continue with this strange situation.
But in the final analysis, the space reality gave them was so narrow that they couldn't break free from the cruelty this situation brought to everyone.
Everyone also realized this and looked at Yang Lu subconsciously. If one were to say who most hoped that this Uncle Ming would lose his life immediately, it would definitely be Wang Kaixuan.
Not only because of the hatred she carried in her heart for A-Xiang, but also because of the things Uncle Ming had done before.
However, everyone in the Second Archaeological Team had long been disgusted with this Uncle Ming. Based on this, they hoped Yang Lu would make the most correct choice in her own cognition.
Yang Lu simply wasn't in a hurry at this time, because Zhang Lin at the Crescent Hotel doing this was, first, handing the choice to her, and second, deliberately slowing down the current rhythm.
This showed that the current situation wasn't very critical, and another most important point was that Zhang Lin wanted to adjust the rhythm of the two archaeological teams to be the same.
Although she didn't understand what deep meaning Zhang Lin had in doing this, Yang Lu firmly believed that as long as she responded according to Zhang Lin's method, it would be fine.
So Yang Lu looked at Peter and couldn't help but ask: "I didn't quite understand the question Wang Kaixuan asked you before. Why must you save him? If it were just one life, what you owe him should be more than that, right?"
This was a question from Yang Lu's instinct.
Facing this question, Peter smiled frankly and said immediately: "I understand that you all think I am stupid, and that saving this person has no meaning. But still, that same sentence: without him, I would have already died. So I have no choice but to make this choice. This is my own obsession and has nothing to do with anyone else. Team Leader Yang, can you understand if I say it like this?"
