Chapter 2513: No Matter What! Execute Without Question!

~6 min read 1,179 words

This kind of falseness being so brand-new shows that before they arrived there was likely some unknown entity that altered the mural as a whole, which is why the paint is still fresh — but who could this person be?

Wu Ya was stunned for quite a while, and by the time she came back to her senses, Zhang Lin had already hung up the phone. At this moment she was pondering, and Zhang Lin was also considering — seeing through the surface of this matter is simple enough, but the hard part is seeing the essence beneath the phenomenon.

Zhang Lin had to admit that this time even he was stumped. Part of the mural itself being concealed is something Zhang Lin can understand, and the other party's purpose is no secret to Zhang Lin either — the key is that this method of theirs is simply too foolish.

Someone who could paint such an exquisite mural should not be a fool, so there is only one possibility — perhaps he simply isn't human, and this is the focus of Zhang Lin's thinking right now.

But the moment he thought this far it was like hitting a dead end. Zhang Lin sighed helplessly, and simply didn't close the livestream, quietly watching how things would unfold next.

Since this order has been issued, Archaeology Team One will soon act according to it — Zhang Lin doesn't doubt this in the slightest. In fact, Zhang Lin himself is now curious about what exactly is hidden beneath the mural, but the hot spring water is the key point, even though he didn't deliberately emphasize this matter to them.

But he believes that with Wu Ya's intelligence she should be able to grasp the key point within it; otherwise Zhang Lin would never have specifically emphasized using the hot spring water — the answer to these two things was unified from the start.

After confirming this point, Zhang Lin slowly nodded. Now it was time to wait for that answer, to see what exactly lay beneath the paint.

In fact, Wang Canghai had been watching the livestream on this side ever since hanging up the phone earlier. He was watching even more carefully than the others, and was also curious what kind of instructions Wu Ya would receive from Zhang Lin at this moment — he was very much looking forward to it.

If Zhang Lin were to handle this matter as a trivial little thing according to his own imagination, Wang Canghai would absolutely be overjoyed.

But even with such thoughts, Wang Canghai soon shook his head to himself — after all, this time he was facing Zhang Lin, completely different from those opponents of the past, and it also wasn't three hundred years ago; he had the Wan Nu King as his backing.

Now everything had changed, and he had to rely on his own strength to play a round against Zhang Lin. This meant Wang Canghai had to summon all his focus, absolutely unable to harbor any hopes of a fluke.

So how could Zhang Lin possibly overlook these things? He would certainly be more serious than anyone, and might even see the most realistic essence within this matter through it.

Based on this point, Wang Canghai couldn't help but sigh, and now that the other party had already hung up the phone, Wang Canghai raised an eyebrow. He watched the livestream footage with full concentration, hoping Wu Ya would quickly say what kind of arrangement Zhang Lin had.

Wang Canghai wasn't the least surprised that Zhang Lin would give instructions — if Zhang Lin had remained silent, that would be what Wang Canghai found truly hard to accept.

Now it wasn't just Wang Canghai; Wu Ya could be said to be the focus of everyone's attention. Everyone knew that the instructions had come from Zhang Lin's side, and her making this call could only be for that one purpose, nothing else — so now Wu Ya was even more nervous than before.

But soon this nervous emotion dissipated, and with a troubled look in her eyes — Wu Tianzhen's eyes went wide, for he knew that once Wu Ya reacted this way, it meant the things involved in this matter were truly shocking.

Based on this point, even Wu Tianzhen himself took a deep breath, then said: "Wu Ya, just say it. No matter what arrangements Mr. Zhang has on his side, we just need to carry out his orders one hundred percent."

Wu Tianzhen spoke these words without the slightest hesitation at this moment, with a look of resolve in his eyes, and wouldn't allow anyone to question it. In his view, this matter was a settled fact, and absolutely no accidents would occur.

Wu Ya also slowly nodded. She knew that what Wu Tianzhen had just said was absolutely not empty platitudes — right now the priority was to stabilize morale first.

But at the same time Wu Ya was also considering other circumstances. She was afraid that if this matter was spoken aloud directly in front of everyone, it might travel through the livestream into Wang Canghai's ears.

And cause them trouble when the time came.

But soon Wu Ya realized she was overthinking it, because this matter was told to her by Mr. Zhang, and Mr. Zhang's side had also taken the initiative to hang up the phone without any other reminders — this showed that everything in that previous sentence had already conveyed all the key points.

Which meant this matter didn't need to be concealed from Wang Canghai who was watching the livestream. At the same time, it was possible that what Wang Canghai was truly focused on right now was still the livestream of Archaeology Team Two, and he didn't care at all about the situation of Archaeology Team One.

After figuring this out, Wu Ya secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then said: "Mr. Zhang says the key point is the hot spring water. Now release the hot spring water and pour it directly onto the mural. After washing away that fresh paint, we'll be able to see the corresponding answer."

Upon hearing these words, everyone was so shocked they nearly fell to the ground — this was an answer none of them could have imagined even in their wildest dreams, and the mural itself carried history.

Regardless of whether this mural had been affected by water vapor, thus making the paint look so fresh, at the very least they probably shouldn't rashly decide to destroy the mural itself right now.

If this matter hadn't been raised by Zhang Lin, then everyone would probably have slammed the table and risen up, immediately voicing that kind of opposition, convinced that such a thing was completely illogical — and they would also criticize and even curse the person who gave this suggestion.

But Zhang Lin was precisely the authority right now; everything he said was grounded, and no one could raise corresponding doubts — they just needed to obediently follow his orders.
