Chapter 2711: Rushing Off to Die? Absolutely Not!

~7 min read 1,358 words

Only, how long such confidence could be sustained, Wang Wang Canghai himself did not know, and at the same time he was not that optimistic either, because from Wang Wang Canghai's perspective he was certain that Zhang Lin was utterly pervasive.

He would use every possible method to infiltrate from within, then throw the entire team into chaos, and at that point he himself would once again be back in that previous state of having no choice.

But for Wang Wang Canghai, having something was better than having nothing; since things had already reached this point, he might as well go with the flow. As for when these people would die, or in what manner they would die, Wang Wang Canghai had not yet considered it — everything would have to wait until he had truly entered the Second Archaeology Team before that answer could be obtained.

Right now Wang Wang Canghai had no way to calculate what would come after; at least within the present situation, one thing was very clear to him — he did not believe the Yanglusi Society would truly fear him in any meaningful way.

In other words, Yang Lu had very likely already received Zhang Lin's orders regarding this matter before he himself arrived, and this was also the main reason Wang Wang Canghai was not in such a hurry now.

At the same time, the fact that Zhang Lin had made this call also indirectly showed that his guess was entirely possible. Given that, Wang Wang Canghai had no intention of rushing off to his death; right now he was simply thinking along the way about his subsequent countermeasures, and at the same time he was also very clear about something.

If this matter could not get a clear answer, then all his previous efforts — including Wang Hu being able to stand on his side and everything else — would be nothing but an illusion, with no practical meaning whatsoever.

This was the situation Wang Wang Canghai had always worried about most. Since he did not want to see something like that happen, then throughout this process Wang Wang Canghai had to keep revising his previous plans.

If it were not for Zhang Lin's phone call just now, Wang Wang Canghai would still have stuck with his original idea of leading the team forward quickly and then finding that point.

Even if they entered from a distance, as long as they could find the corresponding entrance, at most it would just take some extra effort; he believed that everything afterward could be smoothly resolved.

But now Wang Wang Canghai felt that before approaching all of this, he had to think every matter through clearly; only then could he truly rest easy — yet he had never considered that his so-called resting easy.

Was nothing more than something deliberately engineered by Zhang Lin. If Wang Wang Canghai had even the slightest chance to settle all of this, or to make these matters be resolved in the most peaceful way from his own perspective, things would not have come to today's pass.

Such a simple truth — whether it was Wang Cen, or Mr. Wang, or Xue Long before them — had already been very clear about. This was perhaps also the main reason they chose to stand on Zhang Lin's side, yet Wang Wang Canghai remained stubbornly convinced that he could turn things around, and that looked utterly laughable.

Looking at Zhang Lin's side, he had not been paying attention to the situation of the Second Archaeology Team, because Wang Wang Canghai had not yet arrived. At the same time, he had not deliberately kept track of his phone's movements either. First, just as Wang Wang Canghai had thought, even if he really did call, Zhang Lin would not pay him any attention — that was the first point.

Second, Zhang Lin believed that even if Wang Wang Canghai were a fool, he still cared greatly about face. Under this premise, he should know that if he kept calling over and over, the loss of face would indeed be considerable.

At that time, if it were only Wang Wang Canghai alone, perhaps he could afford not to care about such things, but now what Wang Wang Canghai had to face was the Wang family members he had just reorganized, so this matter could no longer be handled lightly.

After clarifying this point, Zhang Lin next shifted his attention to the First Archaeology Team, because the situation the First Archaeology Team would subsequently face was even more tense, and at the same time this was also their first time making contact with the interior of Tiangong.

Regarding the matter of the Kunlun Embryo, actually at the beginning Zhang Lin had wanted to give them a proper explanation, precisely because once such an explanation was in place, it would allow them to proceed more smoothly afterward.

But after thinking it over and over, Zhang Lin ultimately still did not bring it up, because to make things clear through Wu Ya's side would require a great deal of time. If they were at the New Moon Restaurant, Zhang Lin naturally had that much time, but right now for the First Archaeology Team, what they lacked was time.

Zhang Lin hoped they would go down cleanly and find a suitable path, so that when he ascended the New Moon Restaurant that evening and they were truly on the same frequency, it would also be easier to direct them. As for the matter of the Kunlun Embryo, they could bring it up later — that was the best way to resolve things.

Zhang Lin was quite certain about this point. Given that, Zhang Lin directly made his decision, and at the same time he was convinced that this approach was the core of solving the problem. If another method were used instead, Zhang Lin did not know whether deviations would appear.

Right now, for Zhang Lin, the overall situation was also very tense. Given that, he would not approach it with a playful attitude. Perhaps before this Zhang Lin could more or less keep his mindset very calm, but things would always change — now what he had to guard against was not merely Wang Wang Canghai.

On the surface the Wang family's situation had already been resolved by Zhang Lin, but in reality new problems would keep popping up one after another. Regarding this point, Zhang Lin was clearer than anyone, and this so-called new problem was certainly the Wan Nu King — nothing else.

Since all of this had been made clear, Zhang Lin was very clear about his direction from then on.

And right now what the First Archaeology Team was doing also greatly satisfied Zhang Lin. Just now, regarding the internal stability of the team, Wang Cen had to make a choice, and this process was now over. Some people left, and naturally some people stayed by Wang Cen's side.

To those who left, Wang Cen did not say anything to them, just gave a nod — that meant they would never meet again. And for those who stayed, actually Wang Cen did not want to say much either.

He also just nodded at them, but his expression was completely different. The disparity conveyed by this emotion made those who had not yet gone far immediately sense something was off.

They turned their heads and saw Wang Cen's current expression, all shook their heads and let out a wistful sigh. In fact, right at the moment they had made their choice just now, their hearts had also been constantly torn over this matter.

They did not know whether this subjective choice was right or wrong. Perhaps none of it was as they imagined — only by following Wang Cen forward was there a way to live; if they gave up, then there would be no road left to walk.

But everyone had their own thoughts in their hearts. Even though they had thought of this point, the emphasis still fell on the selfish side, and that was why they would leave.
