Chapter 2704: The Two Who Volunteer! Rejected Again!

After that, no matter what Zhang Lin said, it would not affect the overall progress of Archaeology Team Two, and it could also draw a considerable amount of Wang Canghai's attention away.

And there's no telling what the situation is like for Archaeology Team One right now; the impact of what they're facing is far smaller than what Team One is dealing with. Yang Lu is very clear on this. Although Zhang Lin didn't specifically point out the situation, everyone understood it without saying a word.

The group's emotions stabilized once more, and Wang Kaixuan and Hu Bayi walked up to Yang Lu at this moment.

Wang Kaixuan couldn't help scratching his head and said, "Captain Yang, are we just going to wait like this? Should Old Hu and I go scout ahead first?"

Wang Kaixuan still hadn't given up on this idea, and this time Hu Bayi also stood by Wang Kaixuan's side—the two of them had united their front.

Hu Bayi felt that if certain things weren't done now, it might be too late when the time came. This was, in the true sense, an extension of Zhang Lin's way of thinking.

Of course, this was all his subjective opinion and hadn't been confirmed by reality. But since Wang Kaixuan had brought this matter up, as his brother Hu Bayi also felt there was some reason to it, so the two of them would naturally unite their front.

However, they weren't so reckless as to just go do it on their own. Both of them were very clear that if they chose to handle things this way without reporting first, it would only cause trouble for Archaeology Team Two, and might even cause Yang Lu's authority to be affected along with it.

As two of the most loyal members of Archaeology Team Two, it was obvious they would never make such a choice no matter what. Since that was the case, they would naturally seek Yang Lu's opinion first thing. If she agreed, they would of course go along with it; if she disagreed, they could only heave a sigh and quietly back off.

What they could do next was adjust their mindset—nothing else.

In truth, both Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan were quite helpless about this, but reality was what it was and left no room for other thoughts. Still, at this moment both of them were holding onto a sliver of hope.

They hoped to do something for Archaeology Team Two, and neither of them felt this went against Captain Yang's intentions, or Zhang Lin's ideas.

So Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan looked at Yang Lu full of expectation, wholeheartedly hoping their idea would get her approval—but the next moment, Yang Lu smiled and shook her head.

Actually, she was already used to it. After all, this wasn't the first time—similar things had happened more than once before. She understood that whether it was the impulsive Wang Kaixuan or the relatively calm Hu Bayi, the reason they put forward such ideas was nothing else.

It was purely to do something for Archaeology Team Two. After all, coming this far, their presence had grown relatively weaker, so they had to Try Every Possible Way to do something.

This could also be seen as not betraying Yang Lu's trust in them. To put it bluntly, it was that guilty feeling in their hearts at work, which was why they held such an attitude.

Seeing Yang Lu shake her head, the hope in their hearts instantly shattered, but at the same time they weren't really surprised, because it had always been like this.

Whenever certain dangerous things were about to happen, Yang Lu would absolutely stop them at the first moment. This wasn't because Yang Lu was overconfident, but because she was very clear that there were some things they could charge into—for instance, when dealing with those evil wolves, Yang Lu was at ease letting them go fight.

But relatively speaking, in some particularly bizarre situations, Yang Lu was very clear that they couldn't do anything at all. And if she didn't think it through and let the two of them act on their own, that would be harming them. Yang Lu's awareness of this was extremely clear, so she would never make that kind of choice.

The two of them did indeed sigh and shake their heads, and this time Yang Lu, because there was still time, patiently explained.

She explained: "I understand what you two mean, but now isn't the time to rush. I've already made myself very clear before—Mr. Zhang must have his own arrangements. I don't need to say this again, do I?"

Hearing this, the two of them exchanged a glance and subconsciously nodded. They had to admit Yang Lu was right, and if they kept insisting—

Not only would it make them look brainless, it would also spark some unnecessary conflict. No one had brought up the situation with Archaeology Team One, but Yang Lu, whether intentionally or not, wanted them to understand one thing.

The matter with Archaeology Team One had already been relayed over, and every one of them already knew about Fatty and Wu Tianzhen nearly coming to blows. Their principles might differ, but they were members of the same team after all—if they came to blows in a situation like that, it would do their subsequent progress no good at all.

And this kind of thing, placed in any team, would trigger earth-shaking upheaval. Only Archaeology Team One hadn't had something like that happen, and the reason wasn't some tacit understanding they'd formed before, but because Fatty and Wu Tianzhen were two special existences—they'd known each other for far more than a day or two.

That kind of tacit understanding takes three to five years to form, and the two of them had known each other longer than that. Based on this, they were able to turn hostility into friendship at the first moment. Without that time as a foundation, no matter how stupid Fatty was, he wouldn't have made such a choice.

It was the same with Archaeology Team Two. Facing the current situation, they actually had plenty of options—at least it wouldn't be like this now. If Wang Kaixuan also imitated Fatty and openly questioned Yang Lu, then this matter would really become a spectacle.

They absolutely wouldn't resolve it as easily as Archaeology Team One did. After Yang Lu's reminder, the two of them also understood at once that they absolutely could not do such a thing.

Besides, that mysterious person was about to reach Archaeology Team Two. If Archaeology Team Two were to have a similar internal conflict, it was obvious that mysterious person would take advantage of the opening.

Others might not understand the stakes involved, but Yang Lu was very clear: once the situation turned into that, Archaeology Team Two's room to maneuver afterward would grow smaller and smaller.

Yang Lu would never let something like that happen. Even when truly angered, those who knew Yang Lu understood she rarely lost her temper, but when she did, it was always over something major—and if such matters didn't draw blood, there was simply no way to resolve them. That was Yang Lu's character.

Now that things had come to this, both of them were very clear on what they should do next. Without saying much more, they went straight back to start preparing.
