Chapter 2479: The Wolf Is Coming! Do You Run or Face It?!

~7 min read 1,357 words

If they don't keep up this rhythm and continue onward, then for the time being it will certainly be incomparably easy for Archaeology Team Two.

But within Kunlun Divine Palace, including the end where Kunlun Divine Palace and Cloud Top Tiangong will very likely coordinate with each other at the same frequency.

In that kind of coordination, at most Zhang Lin can only tell them in advance what to do, but when facing this kind of crisis, if any accident occurs and their autonomous awareness runs into problems, there is absolutely no way to preserve their own lives.

Before this, Zhang Lin had already begun worrying about this point; including when Wang Canghai entered Archaeology Team Two, Zhang Lin had been troubled the whole time.

Afraid that these people couldn't survive in their own way—Wang Canghai is not the Cold Wind of before, and certainly not some random nobody to be looked down upon.

Even if Yang Lu adopts extreme measures and charges straight up, she is still no match for Wang Canghai; on this point Zhang Lin is more certain than anyone.

And what Zhang Lin has to do now is to seek fortune through danger. To those who don't understand, it looks like Zhang Lin is deliberately using Archaeology Team Two as bait, but Zhang Lin himself is very clear.

Even if Wang Canghai truly wants to kill Yang Lu, it won't be that simple; moreover, Zhang Lin has been keeping a close eye on this matter.

Right now Archaeology Team Two still has Xue Long; others may not recognize Wang Canghai, but Xue Long knows him perfectly well. Even after Wang Canghai disguises himself, Xue Long might still be able to see through it.

But before this, Zhang Lin will give Xue Long advance notice—he must keep a perfectly calm expression and maintain his best state in order to face all of this.

Now Zhang Lin also isn't sure whether Xue Long, upon hearing Wang Canghai's name and knowing he is coming to Archaeology Team Two, will become like a bird startled by the sound of a bow. Nevertheless, Zhang Lin must make this choice, otherwise many things afterward will become uncontrollable.

Thinking of all this, Zhang Lin suddenly opened his eyes, then sat up, picked up the phone by the bed, and first sent a message to Xue Long.

He felt this matter had to be done early so Xue Long would know, and they should find a place where others couldn't see them, then the two of them could talk it over—he wanted to give Xue Long a vaccination in advance.

It could also be considered the final test for the other party. If at this moment Xue Long, upon hearing the news that Wang Canghai was about to arrive at Archaeology Team Two, started jumping around and chose to leave directly—

Then Zhang Lin would give up on this person. He would hand over all subsequent matters entirely to Yang Lu. Although that would relatively raise the degree of danger, at least it would be better than entrusting everything to someone he completely didn't trust.

He didn't know whether Xue Long could react properly, but at the very least this probe was necessary.

Looking back at Archaeology Team Two at this moment, Xue Long had just received the text message and saw everyone patting their chests and making promises for Peter, while Yang Lu at this time also showed a bitter smile on her face.

Xue Long took advantage of them all discussing this matter and quietly walked toward the darkness, while Yang Lu caught a glimpse of all this from the corner of her eye. She knew Xue Long holding that phone must be in single-line contact with Zhang Lin, so at this moment Yang Lu had to be responsible for providing cover for Xue Long.

Although right now she couldn't trust Xue Long one hundred percent, once the other party walked out holding that phone, it meant Zhang Lin definitely had something to discuss with him. And according to Xue Long's usual habit, after he received a message, if that message was specifically meant for Archaeology Team Two,

Then Xue Long would definitely show it to everyone at the first opportunity. On the contrary, at this moment Xue Long took the phone and walked into the darkness, found a corner, and privately contacted Zhang Lin.

That meant Zhang Lin had a separate task to give Xue Long, and at this moment Yang Lu naturally wouldn't fuss over it too much.

She believed that afterward Xue Long would also tell her everything, unless Zhang Lin's side specifically instructed Xue Long that some things couldn't be let her know, because that would affect the rhythm of the matter itself—only then would Yang Lu not continue to insist.

The others hadn't noticed Xue Long's movements, because he had done very well along the way. Only when sending messages a few times did he hold up the phone and show it around; under the live broadcast camera, Xue Long didn't show off his own presence—he too had been trained by Wang Canghai.

Therefore, in many situations Xue Long wouldn't make too much of a fuss; he also understood what kind of response was needed under what circumstances, for instance the current situation.

Since he followed Archaeology Team Two as the middleman passing messages, although there hadn't been many transmissions, Xue Long's presence was also very faint.

But relatively speaking, Xue Long had done an excellent job positioning himself. At least at the critical moment, Xue Long's departure didn't draw anyone's attention. If he were really like Young Master Zhao at the beginning, reckless and showing off in front of the camera, then no matter what plan Zhang Lin had now, he probably wouldn't dare contact Xue Long.

Doing that would only cause the plan to be exposed prematurely, and Wang Canghai's side must have also noticed Xue Long's existence itself. Since this was his former lackey, after Wang Canghai entered Archaeology Team Two, in the form of disguise, the first breakthrough he chose was very likely Xue Long.

Precisely because Zhang Lin had noticed this point, he had to give Xue Long a heads-up.

Xue Long took out his phone and was even a little excited; he didn't know why Zhang Lin had specially contacted him—perhaps it was to help him remove those things on his body in advance.

It had to be said, Xue Long thinking this way right now was wishful thinking. If Zhang Lin really wanted to do that, it would mean everything was already over, with no need to worry about anything further. And Xue Long's performance had also been very good, which was why he would help the other party remove the corpse beetle pill's poison and all that series of things.

After the call connected, Zhang Lin pinched the bridge of his nose, then immediately said: "Xue Long, let me give you an analogy—if Wang Canghai comes to Archaeology Team Two now, what would you think?"

Upon hearing these words, Xue Long's heart skipped a beat, and for a moment he didn't know what to say. Zhang Lin's thinking was also very clear—he didn't want to beat around the bush with Xue Long, saying all that useless stuff.

Instead, right from the start he got straight to the point and told Xue Long what would happen afterward.

Although Zhang Lin's tone was that of giving an analogy, as long as one wasn't a fool, one should be very clear exactly what Zhang Lin was talking about. He was using this most direct method to tell Xue Long that this matter wasn't an "if" nor a simple conception, but something that would truly happen afterward.

After Xue Long paused for several seconds, he subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, grinned, and couldn't help saying: "Mr. Zhang, you're not joking with me, are you?"

After hearing this answer, Zhang Lin couldn't help feeling a bit disappointed. If at this moment Xue Long didn't maintain a cautious state, that would be wrong, but being too cautious was equally wrong.
