Chapter 2492: The Bold Plan to Split the Team! Stabilizing Morale!

~7 min read 1,246 words

They'll talk once they're on the plane and have reached Sichuan-Tibet. If there really are usable people over on the Sichuan-Tibet side, and these people haven't watched the archaeology team's livestream and only yield to profit—

Then with enough money to lure them in, there won't be the slightest problem. But Wang Wang Canghai also knows this hope isn't great, and it would waste a lot of time. Right now his only focus is watching Archaeology Team Two's livestream; he hasn't even rested.

At first he'd planned to close the livestream and rest for the night, then deal with things tomorrow during the day. Even when Zhang Lin was ascending the New Moon Restaurant, he wanted to reach Archaeology Team Two's side while staying in sync.

Still, Wang Wang Canghai was also full of worry about this. After all, once Zhang Lin ascended the New Moon Restaurant, there was an enormous amount of information he needed to glean from it.

But if he entered Archaeology Team Two's area and had no signal, he wouldn't be able to watch the livestream—that was Wang Wang Canghai's second worry.

Yet carrying so many worries, he was destined not to get far. After much thought, Wang Wang Canghai decided today he'd only do one thing: keep watching Archaeology Team Two's livestream the whole time.

When all of them rested, he'd rest too. Only that way could he truly stay on the same frequency.

Within Archaeology Team Two, everyone had more or less accepted the look Yang Lu had just passed along. At the same time, Xue Long gave Yang Lu a slight nod—he was sincerely grateful that Captain Yang had helped him out of a tight spot.

If these people still clung to such stubborn ideas, then for Xue Long's part, he couldn't stay silent any longer. Some things were right before his eyes, leaving no room for him to deny them.

Right now, avoiding this matter was fundamentally about fulfilling Mr. Zhang's commission. If Mr. Zhang hadn't given any related instructions, Xue Long wouldn't want to work so hard for such little thanks—especially with so many people waiting on him eagerly.

Or rather, whether Yang Lu would reveal the answer, what Zhang Lin's next arrangement was. And Yang Lu, by not saying, actually knew that even her own heart was drumming with uncertainty, let alone the others.

Whether it was Hu Hu Bayi, Wang Wang Kaixuan, or Shen Qiong, they would all keep muttering in their hearts—what on earth had happened to make them like this. The emotions Yang Lu read on their faces were exactly that.

The next moment, Yang Lu couldn't help but shake her head. She knew that if she didn't say something more, this atmosphere would spread bit by bit, and that would do Archaeology Team Two's upcoming journey no good at all.

Having thought this through, Yang Lu at once declared in a clear voice: "Everyone, stop overthinking. What specific arrangements Mr. Zhang has is Mr. Zhang's business. All we have to do is carry out that order!"

"As for what the order is right now, there's a reason it's not being told to everyone. But always remember—belief is more important than anything. Don't forget that without Mr. Zhang directing us from above in the book, we couldn't have gotten this far at all, let alone broken the curse."

Though everyone understood this reasoning, hearing it from Yang Lu's own mouth, they instinctively nodded along, thinking to themselves that Captain Yang was right.

Without Zhang Lin, they really wouldn't have been able to reach where they were today so smoothly. Besides, their goal was to break the curse—no need to think about all that messy stuff.

Hearing those words, Wang Wang Canghai's brow lifted. His reaction was definitely different from everyone else's. And right now, for Wang Wang Canghai, Archaeology Team Two's cohesion being slowly dismantled was the best possible news.

Just now Wang Wang Canghai had still been holding onto hope that he could use this matter to infiltrate Archaeology Team Two directly. But now, hearing what Yang Lu said and seeing the state she displayed, Wang Wang Canghai knew his idea probably wasn't going to work.

Still, having seen this sign, Wang Wang Canghai wouldn't give up easily—at the very least he could make some attempts first. Of course, all of this still depended on him reaching Archaeology Team Two first. If he hadn't gotten there before then, everything was just empty fantasy and could never be achieved.

Now Wang Wang Canghai was more of a man of action, because he could no longer rely on anyone else to do these things for him—everything had to depend on himself.

So rather than overthinking, it was better to just go act. Using this approach, he could also get the best result—at least that answer would be right before his eyes from the first moment, rather than being used as bait by his opponent Zhang Lin to lure him into a new pit.

That was the last thing Wang Wang Canghai wanted to see.

Everyone in Archaeology Team Two had calmed down. Meanwhile, Archaeology Team One was facing a choice of its own. Earlier, Wang Wang Canghai had been surprised by what Wu Tianzhen of Archaeology Team One had discovered.

But later he suddenly returned to a calm state, because in Wang Wang Canghai's view, even if those things had been discovered, it meant nothing—in the end they were just bubbles of illusion.

The remaining matters Archaeology Team One had to handle on its own. Watching Zhang Lin give fewer and fewer instructions to Archaeology Team One, and considering that a few hours earlier, when Zhang Lin ascended the New Moon Restaurant, he hadn't given either archaeology team any proper explanation—on this premise, he firmly believed Zhang Lin must have a new plan.

But along with this new plan, it would inevitably affect everyone's judgment. Once their judgment was affected, Zhang Lin's authority would also take a hit. This was Zhang Lin's subjective choice, and at the same time Wang Wang Canghai deemed it one of the rare mistakes the other had made.

So later Wang Wang Canghai stopped watching Archaeology Team One's livestream too. On one hand, he believed all of this was a deviation in Zhang Lin's choices—but Wang Wang Canghai hadn't failed to consider another possibility.

Namely, that Zhang Lin was deliberately using such a deviation to lure him toward Archaeology Team One, not Archaeology Team Two. But Wang Wang Canghai definitely wouldn't fall for that. Right now, although he was worried about the situation with the Wanlo King—

If he entered Archaeology Team One and could prevent the Wanlo King's appearance or stop Archaeology Team One from further exploration, that would be fine.

But if Zhang Lin, through various means, actually let them out, and then through Archaeology Team One learned even more things, then for Wang Wang Canghai it would basically be a losing game already decided.

He'd even lose his last chance to turn things around. Clearly, Wang Wang Canghai absolutely wouldn't do that. He'd worked so hard for so long precisely hoping to bury all these things.

If things continued to develop along the lines of Zhang Lin's thinking, then all of Wang Wang Canghai's previous efforts would dissolve into bubbles.

Therefore, Wang Wang Canghai actually stopped watching that livestream. In his current understanding, watching these livestreams would only cause greater deviation to his own judgment.
