Chapter 2545: The scent of bronze fragments! A chance encounter at the train station!

~7 min read 1,275 words

The next moment, Fatty curled his lip and said, "Tianzhen, it's not that I'm picking on you, but you're getting more and more pessimistic. You weren't like this before."

Wu Tianzhen shook his head. He understood that Fatty's questioning was valid, and he also felt his own changes, but as events unfolded, the crisis was constantly intensifying.

If not for Zhang Lin's instructions, Wu Tianzhen believed that if he had to command the First Archaeological Team on his own, they would be facing a situation many times more dangerous than the current one.

It was precisely because he understood this that Wu Tianzhen was so cautious.

Wang Canghai's expression was uncertain at this moment. One had to know that Fatty had voiced his thoughts to everyone in front of the live-streaming camera; it was clear he didn't take Wang Canghai seriously at all.

Even if they didn't know of his own existence, they knew of the mysterious person he was disguised as. Since that was the case, there had to be some restraint—this was Wang Canghai's understanding.

Yet now, Wang Canghai was not only being scorned by Zhang Lin, who acted as if he didn't exist, but it seemed the First Archaeological Team felt the same way.

Admittedly, Wang Canghai had already effectively exposed his goal, but for him, as long as he was still alive, Wang Cang should understand that he would not let the matter rest.

And if, after reaching the Second Archaeological Team, some problems remained unresolved, Wang Canghai might even turn his guns directly toward the First Archaeological Team; all of this was possible.

Even Zhang Lin could not be certain of this now. Why were these people from the First Archaeological Team talking to themselves here, as if there was nothing to guard against?

Actually, there was a reason Wang Canghai thought this way. Even though the Wang family had disbanded, as long as Wang Cang and Su Nan were still around, the two archaeological teams were constantly on guard on that basis.

Now, only the Second Archaeological Team was in that state of alertness, while the First Archaeological Team was quite relaxed. Wang Canghai originally had no one to use, but now that he was personally taking the field, he felt that some things could still be resolved.

Moreover, these people should be feeling immense fear; after all, his own actions were not on the same level as the petty squabbles of that group. But now, it was completely different from what Wang Canghai had imagined, which was like a basin of cold water poured directly over his head. Wang Canghai could not accept this fact no matter what.

His breathing gradually became rapid, and then the train came to a stop. Only then did Wang Canghai realize he had reached the city where he could transfer to a plane.

When he was at the Wang family, Wang Canghai had brought nothing, which was because the available resources had been taken away by Mr. Wang, leaving basically nothing.

But Wang Canghai did not care about these things. Even if those resources were still there, Wang Canghai wouldn't even glance at them; this was the bearing or habit he had formed over time.

In any case, he had seen all sorts of good things. Relatively speaking, only those things that truly concerned him and could help him achieve his subsequent goal were what he truly needed to obtain.

And he would spare no cost. For example, the Dust-Exterminating Bead was like that. At first, Wang Canghai didn't think it would be so difficult to obtain the Dust-Exterminating Bead, but in the end, reality slapped him in the face more times than he could count.

Wang Canghai had learned his lesson this time. Perhaps if he had acted personally from the beginning, things wouldn't have become so complicated. Now he had to enter the fray himself, and in the process, he didn't even forget to use this method to mock Zhang Lin.

But he hadn't expected Zhang Lin to not care about this at all, as if these things hadn't happened. This might also be the most important reason for Wang Canghai's anger. Wang Canghai got off the train, traveling light with no luggage, looking at the hurried pedestrians in the early morning.

He felt a bit emotional: when had he also become this state of being exhausted by running around?

Originally, he disdained to associate with ordinary people, and even the dogs he raised could do nothing but wag their tails in front of him; otherwise, they would die without a burial place.

At this moment, Wang Canghai also woke up to some extent, as if his original methods had been too extreme, leaving his subordinates with no choice, which led to the current situation.

Thinking of this, Wang Canghai couldn't help but take a deep breath, then shook his head and walked quickly forward. Now he couldn't let these things disturb his mind.

After walking less than a hundred meters, Wang Canghai's footsteps suddenly stopped. He deliberately lowered his hat and looked to the left. Dozens of meters away, a group of people were quickly exiting the train station; they had come off another train.

These people were dressed very ordinarily and were not conspicuous in the crowd, yet they were discovered by Wang Canghai. This came from Wang Canghai's intuition and the aura emanating from these people.

Even from dozens of meters away, Wang Canghai smelled a different scent—that was the special scent of soil.

In other words, these people must be related to the tomb itself; they might even be tomb raiders. But the next moment, Wang Canghai's eyes widened, and his brows arched.

Although their pace was not uniform, Wang Canghai felt that these people were strictly trained and definitely not a ragtag group.

So, subconsciously, Wang Canghai walked closer. When he was three to five meters away, the other party was queuing to wait to exit the station, and Wang Canghai smelled the scent of bronze.

This scent of bronze was extremely special. Wang Canghai's hair stood on end because the last time he smelled this special scent must have been over three hundred years ago.

Ever since he took the bronze door fragments and placed them in the Wang family, he had not gone to the Wang family headquarters again, and he didn't even want to touch the bronze door fragments anymore.

As for that Bronze-Eyed Fox Corpse, it didn't matter; as long as Wang Canghai was willing to search, he could always find such a special existence. Moreover, that thing didn't actually help Wang Canghai much. The key was that the Wang family's computing department needed the bronze door fragments and the Bronze-Eyed Fox Corpse to work in coordination, and now the identity of this group of people was also revealed.

Wang Canghai narrowed his eyes. His shock lasted only for a moment, but then he secretly calculated in his heart what he should do next.

But thinking was thinking; Wang Canghai still had one biggest question: why would this group of people appear here? If Mr. Wang was taking people to flee, then starting from the Wang family headquarters...

He definitely wouldn't be heading inland; that would be pure suicide. His best choice would be to go as far as possible, heading outward, so as to avoid his own retaliation.

Of course, this was only a certain probability. If Wang Canghai didn't die in the end, or if he could achieve a brief victory over Zhang Lin, then his first priority would definitely be to consolidate the Wang family's existing resources.
