Chapter 2657: Besides us! Who else can you guard against?

~7 min read 1,369 words

Setting aside why Wu Tianzhen was hiding his thoughts, let's talk about the matter of descending into the tomb itself. After tossing and turning all night yesterday, Wu Tianzhen had a new idea: if they left the others behind, it might very well trigger a crisis in this region surrounded by the three mountains.

The reason he thought this way was not a judgment made out of thin air, but based on previous experience; it had become relatively easier to trigger an avalanche here.

Because they had used directional blasting, the snow above had already become very loose. Under this premise, perhaps their best choice moving forward was to act as a whole, even if such an action would be accompanied by some sacrifices, it was still better than the people above being completely wiped out.

Conversely, Wang Cang was really not keen on Wu Tianzhen's reaction.

The next moment, Wang Cang said quite bluntly: "Team Leader Wu, actually my meaning is very simple. No matter how you want to do it, there is actually no problem at all. The key is that you must not hide your own thoughts! Although this cooperation is not built on a foundation of trust, you can hide your intentions from your own people regardless of the time, even if there is no risk later, it doesn't matter."

"But now you not only have to face the people under your command, but also the people on my side." Wang Cang paused here, and it was obvious from his state that he had a bunch of words waiting for Wu Tianzhen, and some words would be meaningless if spoken too thoroughly.

It would even cause the cooperation between the two sides to continue to waver. If Wang Canghai were to see the live broadcast of the First Archaeological Team at this moment, he would definitely show a triumphant smile.

The reason is very simple: what he wanted to see was this situation, where these people were increasingly left with no choice.

The more Wang Canghai could find opportunities in the cracks, the key was that these cracks had to be exposed. If the other party always acted in a watertight manner, then Wang Canghai naturally would have no loopholes to exploit.

In fact, Wang Canghai had originally determined it this way as well. At first, his observation of the First Archaeological Team was in the hope of being able to insert himself into the situation, but later Wang Canghai felt that since he had already placed his focus entirely on the Second Archaeological Team.

Then, at this moment, he absolutely could not put the cart before the horse. If the situation of shifting focus did not affect the matters on the Second Archaeological Team's side, then Wang Canghai would naturally make such a choice.

Perhaps in the past, Wang Canghai still felt that he was highly skilled and bold, capable of weighing all matters, but now this was absolutely unrealistic; his cognition was very clear.

It was precisely because of the urging of such thoughts that led Wang Canghai to no longer pay attention to the First Archaeological Team's live broadcast. At the same time, he was currently on the road and did not have the heart for it either. Before reaching the range of Mount Kelamier, Wang Canghai would only look at the live broadcast regarding the Second Archaeological Team.

To see what kind of situation was going on over there. And at this moment, Wang Canghai could actually do so, but he was full of sorrow, or rather, carrying this instinctive anxiety; he dared not look at the situation of the Second Archaeological Team, fearing that what was happening there was not something he could accept.

So now he could only focus on rushing forward. When he reached that edge and could still find a signal, he would have to pay attention to the situation of the Second Archaeological Team. In fact, Wang Canghai was still struggling with another point.

That was whether he should wait until Zhang Lin boarded the Crescent Hotel before tracing the tracks to the Second Archaeological Team, rather than rushing to find the other locations of the Ancient Lalo Silver Eyes on the map right now, and then opening up that path to head to the Kunlun Divine Palace.

Doing this seemingly could reach the Second Archaeological Team faster, but Wang Canghai had no confidence in his heart. He feared that this was another trap laid by Zhang Lin, because this time it seemed too smooth, and he even reaped surprises that were unexpected to him. This was a situation that had never appeared in the game of chess between Wang Canghai and Zhang Lin.

This time, if it weren't for the premise of Wang Canghai setting out in person, if someone else had encountered these things, then Wang Canghai could firmly believe that the other party had fallen into a pit dug by Zhang Lin.

Yet, he himself was still carrying that proud attitude, explaining in his heart that it was precisely because he had personally entered the field that led to Zhang Lin having no way to deal with this crisis.

That was why he could handle everything so handily. But Wang Canghai still told himself desperately in his heart that even if this matter were true, he could not be too inflated, as that would only make subsequent matters more troublesome.

Conversely, at this time, facing Wang Cang's questioning, Wu Tianzhen did not continue to remain silent, but instead patted the other party's shoulder.

He then said: "Wang Cang, actually, with your intelligence, you should be able to guess very quickly that what I am doing is nothing more than making preparations in advance. Of course, I swear that what I am guarding against is not you all."

Hearing these words, Wang Cang could not help but take a deep breath, and then said: "I don't understand, besides us, who else do you need to guard against?"

"That mysterious person is clearly heading to the Second Archaeological Team. The one who should be most worried right now is actually me. Don't forget that the reason I am cooperating with you all is entirely because of Su Nan. If it weren't for her, I would have chosen to perish together long ago; why waste time here?"

Hearing the other party say this, Wu Tianzhen was shocked. He thought to himself that Wang Cang was indeed a bit too anxious right now, otherwise he wouldn't have said such things.

It was obvious that once such words were spoken, the room for recovery would become smaller and smaller.

If Wu Tianzhen were the type of petty person, then just based on these words spoken by Wang Cang, he would have reason to suspect that the other party's cooperation with them did not carry any sincerity at all.

But facts proved that Wu Tianzhen was indeed not such a petty person. Taking a step back, even if Wu Tianzhen was indeed overly cautious, every time Wang Cang said something, he had to be suspicious.

But don't forget that there were still Fatty and Zhang Tianshi Zhang here to act as checks and balances. As long as they felt that what Wu Tianzhen was doing was absolutely wrong, they would come forward to stop him at the first opportunity.

There was only one reason for this: because this matter was arranged by Zhang Lin. Setting aside Zhang Tianshi Zhang, from Fatty's perspective, as long as it was arranged by Zhang Lin, it was 100% correct in his eyes, and there would absolutely not be any deviation.

And the next moment, Wu Tianzhen shook his head and said: "Wang Cang, there is no need for me to tell you the principle that haste makes waste. And what I am counting on right now is not that I can really accomplish many things by leading the team myself; the most critical thing is still..."

Before Wu Tianzhen could finish his words, Wang Cang preempted him: "You don't need to say it, I understand that you are still counting on Mr. Zhang from the Crescent Hotel, right?"
