Chapter 2468: Hiding in the Sewer! That's the Safest!
Actually, from another angle, it can also prove that Wang Canghai's thinking does have some merit—at least at this moment Zhang Lin has to be on guard, guarding against any possible change in Wang Canghai.
Also, in his understanding, this change in Wang Canghai is basically the greatest pressure ever placed on Archaeology Team Two.
If they can bear such pressure, then anything that comes after will be nothing before Archaeology Team Two; conversely, Archaeology Team Two may face the crisis of total annihilation.
Perhaps Zhang Lin can use his own way to keep Yang Lu safe alone, but whether the others survive will depend on their luck. This deliberate arrangement by Zhang Lin is, on one hand, for those things he had foreseen before.
On the other hand, he wants the later members of Archaeology Team Two to also form a situation similar to a three-person group, truly able to help Yang Lu solve many problems.
And such real-combat experience is extremely rare; as long as they pull through, they can be completely transformed—including Yang Lu.
And that altar can do far too many things for Archaeology Team Two; it's just that over the years the people of Archaeology Team Two still don't know this, and only Zhang Lin is clear about it.
In this world only he knows exactly how that altar should be used. Based on this, Zhang Lin is naturally at ease letting Archaeology Team Two keep going. Yet while he can control the plan itself and the pace, he cannot control the abilities of those people in Archaeology Team Two.
At the truly life-or-death stage, what one relies on is human potential!
If they can burn their bridges and burst out with such potential, they will naturally achieve something for themselves; otherwise they can only stay in the tomb and be buried with the Demon Kingdom.
Perhaps this is also why Zhang Lin closed the livestream and stopped watching—he needs rest. But what will happen tonight, Zhang Lin knows more clearly than anyone.
Some things, if they can get answers through their own analysis, that's naturally good; if not, Zhang Lin can watch the replay tomorrow morning, and then at the Crescent Restaurant that evening tell everyone about these matters.
Archaeology Team Two's progress within the Demon Kingdom's range may be ending soon, but Archaeology Team One hasn't even started. If one wants to forcibly pull the pace of these two archaeology teams together, that will take some thought—this is also what Zhang Lin has been worrying about all along.
But with Wang Cen and Su Nan thoroughly turning from darkness to light, the things Zhang Lin needs to worry about are now fewer and fewer; he can just focus single-mindedly on controlling the pace. Directly going against Wang Canghai is better than letting Wang Canghai stir up trouble in the shadows.
What Wang Canghai doesn't understand is that he has directly given up his greatest advantage. He could have waited a few days, even organized some ragtag people to probe again.
Once inside the two archaeology teams, as long as he gives them enough benefits, someone will surely take the job. As long as he creates an impact on the archaeology teams, Wang Canghai can seize the opportunity to slip in.
Rather than charging in himself all at once. Perhaps this time Wang Canghai won't even find anyone to recruit for him; he'll only go to the tomb alone, because he has absolute confidence.
Just like Zhang Tianshi—if he hadn't followed the archaeology team, when he went to the tomb he was also alone.
It may be exactly this kind of confidence that in the end will harm Wang Canghai. But right now Wang Canghai isn't very clear on this point; he is more anxious than anyone.
Or rather, in this pressing mood there is mixed a kind of excitement, and this excitement naturally comes from the fact that as long as he enters the archaeology team and, according to his own thinking, he believes he can snatch the Muchen Zhu in an instant.
As long as Zhang Lin doesn't personally intervene. Actually, Wang Canghai has no certainty in his heart right now either; he doesn't know whether the things Zhang Lin said in the earlier phone call were deliberately leading him on.
He hopes that Zhang Lin personally stepping in is certainly false, and that it was also a side probe to test whether Zhang Lin truly has such an intention—coming directly to Archaeology Team Two to target him.
At first Wang Canghai also judged that the reason Zhang Lin didn't act directly was because he still didn't know which archaeology team Wang Canghai was going to. But after that phone call and discussion just now, he believes that even though he didn't give a clear answer, Zhang Lin should have already guessed.
Wang Canghai has not failed to consider that perhaps his own choice was also under Zhang Lin's guidance—that Zhang Lin deliberately made him choose Archaeology Team Two because there he could better control everything.
But Wang Canghai no longer cares about any of this. The result is right there in front of him; under a situation already fated, he believes he can carry these things out to perfection—and this is Wang Canghai's last bit of confidence.
If he doesn't even have this bit of confidence, then Wang Canghai feels that even being alive has no meaning at all.
So he hopes that what Zhang Lin said to him before is true—that the other party won't interfere with Archaeology Team Two. It's also because of his contempt for Wang Canghai that Zhang Lin would never personally step in to join this battle, but would only tell Archaeology Team Two in the form of guidance how to deal with him.
As long as it's like this, Wang Canghai has a hundred percent certainty of seizing the initiative in everything, and in the end he won't directly kill Yang Lu.
Instead, he'll use Yang Lu to coerce Zhang Lin into revealing how to use the altar or the instrument. At that point Wang Canghai can truly stand in an invincible position.
As long as he can complete the great enterprise of becoming an immortal, any Wan Nu Wang or Zhang Lin himself can be cast aside. After that, these people or matters, Wang Canghai is confident that as long as he lifts one little finger he can easily settle them all—and this is the hope he clings to at the end.
But if it really still fails, Wang Canghai has also thought about how he should conduct himself afterward. Perhaps it really would be, just as Zhang Lin said before, hiding in a filthy, stinking sewer and never coming out for the rest of his life. Perhaps that is also a way to live, but Wang Canghai would rather die than accept it.
If he could accept all that, things wouldn't have come to today's state. Zhang Lin gave Wang Canghai this kind of reasoning from the very beginning.
If he could make such a choice, he would have done it long ago—he'd even be in the sewer right now, and Zhang Lin wouldn't be threatening his life. Even when Wan Nu Wang comes out and wants to find him, it might take a very long time.
Actually, Wang Canghai is very clear about one logic: the reason Zhang Lin said that wasn't because he truly wanted to wipe him out completely or deliberately humiliate him.
Rather, once Wan Nu Wang comes, the first thing he'll do is find Wang Canghai. If those secrets are told to Zhang Lin on the premise that Wang Canghai tells them, Zhang Lin would instead protect Wang Canghai even better.
From this one can see that hiding in that sewer is the safest thing!
