Chapter 2493: Overblown! Fatty Seems Unconvinced!

~6 min read 1,117 words

If it really were like that, it would be better to take the "out of sight, out of mind" approach; of course, the reason he thought this way was still because of the appearance of those murals.

The information recorded in the murals themselves was not problematic in any way. Although Wang Wang Canghai was also very curious about who had orchestrated all of this, he later realized that he had been putting the cart before the horse!

Rather than focusing on the situation of the murals, it would be better to focus on the current situation. If they couldn't formulate an effective response plan for the situation at that time, then no matter where Archaeology Team One went afterward, Wang Wang Canghai was destined to fail—this was certain.

Even if Wang Wang Canghai couldn't see the situation ahead clearly, he still carried that blind confidence. At the very least, he could see this outcome clearly, and perhaps this was the only thing about him worth mentioning.

And at this moment, Zhang Lin Has Already was meeting with the Duke of Zhou; he didn't care about any of this. In fact, if Wang Wang Canghai had realized this point, he would have been able to see through the entire situation directly.

At the very least, Zhang Lin's attitude had already conveyed everything to Wang Wang Canghai. After all, Zhang Lin's approach was truly one of not caring.

After all the plans were deployed, everything was handed over to the two archaeology teams. During the following twenty-plus hours, Zhang Lin no longer intervened in the details.

He would only answer the corresponding questions after he boarded the New Moon Restaurant, whether it was how Archaeology Team One should proceed to Three Sacred Mountains next.

Or whether the location where Archaeology Team Two currently was was truly their core going forward—Zhang Lin would patiently give everyone answers to all these matters.

And at this moment in Archaeology Team One, Fatty was completely baffled. Zhang Tianshi seemed not to care at all about what Wu Tianzhen had discovered.

However, anyone who understood Zhang Tianshi's character should know that as long as he hadn't voiced an opinion, it most likely meant he agreed with the other party's statement—especially when it came to things Wu Tianzhen said.

But Fatty was the type who had to get to the bottom of things. After all, this matter concerned everyone's survival, and he didn't want to just let the issue slide in total darkness.

For Fatty, that would absolutely be torture. If Fatty were in Archaeology Team Two, although his personality was very similar to Wang Wang Kaixuan's, he likewise wouldn't have followed the commands of Archaeology Team Two's leader Yang Lu like Wang Wang Kaixuan did.

Because Fatty's independence was simply too strong. And right now in Archaeology Team One, if it weren't for his relationship with Wu Tianzhen, who knows what might happen later.

But the situations each archaeology team faced were indeed different, and Fatty's personality was also tolerated by the other two members of the archaeology team trio.

The key was that they were the main part of the equation. Once this main part deviated, the entire archaeology team would head in the wrong direction—and that was an outcome no one wanted to see.

At this moment, Fatty scratched his head and asked very frankly: "Tianzhen, stop being cryptic. How does this become a map? A map naturally has a route, and I don't see any route laid out here either?"

This was Fatty's ingrained understanding—since it was a map, it should at least have a corresponding route. And if it was only under the premise of being a mural.

Even if the thing they were looking for was imprinted on the target point, what meaning would that have?

It would be nothing more than telling them that this place truly existed. In Fatty's view, this was just a useless statement.

The three red mountain peaks on the mural are the Three Sacred Mountains that Mr. Zhang mentioned at the beginning, which is also the entrance to Tiangong they were looking for. This matter had already been settled before; no one needed to nag them about it again—Fatty was very certain of this.

Since that was the case, the current situation became even more awkward. In Fatty's view, there was no need to say those useless things—they just needed to keep moving forward.

But Wu Tianzhen was particularly interested in the mural at this moment. The next instant, Wu Tianzhen gave Fatty a helpless look.

Then he said: "Didn't the news about Archaeology Team Two's livestream come through earlier? Combined with the mural here, didn't that give you any hint?"

Fatty couldn't help but be stunned. He didn't know why Wu Tianzhen had suddenly brought up the livestream about Archaeology Team Two at this moment—in essence, it didn't have much to do with them.

Even from an official standpoint, they could be called brother units, and Zhang Lin had subtly put both archaeology teams in a synchronized state during this final phase.

But right now no one had actually seen such a thing happen—it was only a sign. Besides, Zhang Lin was also deliberately concealing this fact.

Of course, this so-called concealment only came from their perception. In terms of subjective behavior, Zhang Lin hadn't uttered a single word carrying that kind of related logic—and this was the biggest discrepancy.

And precisely because of this discrepancy, the plan Zhang Lin deployed went even more smoothly. In fact, Zhang Lin himself hadn't been so clearly aware of this at the beginning.

But later, as he grew more adept at using this method, Zhang Lin became increasingly unrestrained. And this method was subtly influencing the archaeology teams.

Rather than directly giving them corresponding commands, doing so would actually be of no benefit to the archaeology teams—Zhang Lin's awareness of this was very clear.

It's just that no one else had noticed this until now. Perhaps Wang Wang Canghai had already seen this fact, but the situation he deduced from it was not as favorable to him as Wang Wang Canghai had imagined.

That's why Wang Wang Canghai would choose to burn his bridges or fight to the death. Even if he could bite off a piece of Zhang Lin's flesh before dying, Wang Wang Canghai felt it would be worth it.

Looking back at Archaeology Team One at this moment, Fatty simply hadn't understood what Wu Tianzhen had said.

The next instant, Wu Tianzhen immediately explained: "Just like the murals Archaeology Team Two saw in the Gumo Prince's Tomb—who would have thought those murals ultimately verified the map to the Ancient Jingjue City?"
