Chapter 2721

It's just that in this world there is no such thing as a regret pill, and yet nothing can truly make Fatty turn back—he is simply so stubbornly lost in his folly.

Unless Zhang Lin can contact the other party right away and tell him those things in person, or unless Team One of the archaeological expedition still doesn't act, and when the time comes to open the book, Zhang Lin gives the corresponding answer.

At the same time, let Fatty see that Zhang Lin is no longer speaking in such an ambiguous way, and they can continue with the kind of thinking they had before—at that point Fatty would also truly heave a sigh of relief.

Now Fatty is not only thinking for himself, but also for everyone. Of course, this is Fatty's own inner thought; he didn't say it out loud, but this perception was seen through clearly by Wu Tianzhen.

This is also the reason Wu Tianzhen is quite emotional. Each of the three members of Team One of the archaeological expedition wants to maintain the internal balance of the team. Perhaps only now does Wu Tianzhen realize that he shouldn't have brought so many people here—it would only hold them back.

It makes it very difficult for the remaining people to choose, and once these matters reach that point, some people, even if they don't want to choose, must choose—this is the most helpless part.

Thinking of this, Wu Tianzhen let out a heavy sigh. He knew that pondering these things now was meaningless; the most important thing was still to get Fatty to turn back quickly.

If Zhang Lin were to see this matter itself, Wu Tianzhen didn't know what would happen. With Zhang Lin's cleverness, he would surely see through the phenomenon to the most essential core at the first moment—one must know that Fatty wouldn't have made this kind of choice before.

And the root cause of making this kind of choice now is also obvious. Under this premise, it is very likely that Zhang Lin's subsequent command over the archaeological team will also decrease. This is what Wu Tianzhen was most worried about from the start, which is why he wanted to do everything in his power to prevent this from happening.

At first he had assumed it would be other members of Team One of the archaeological expedition who would pull this kind of stunt, but he didn't expect that this person was precisely Fatty, whom he trusted the most. Wu Tianzhen knew that no matter what he said, Fatty would argue back. The next moment, he simply lost his patience.

"Have you made enough of a fuss?! This matter ends here. Stop being so stubbornly lost in your folly. You should understand now that Zhang Tianshi is the most suitable candidate."

And before his words were finished, Fatty forcefully cut him off, the suppressed fury in his tone even greater than Wu Tianzhen's.

"Do you really think I want to go? I just know for certain that something will happen next. If Zhang Tianshi were to disappear here, then we'd have lost another backbone—how would we choose then? Better to let me go down and take a look first."

Wu Tianzhen couldn't help but be stunned. He had to admit that what Fatty said did make sense. If one starts from a single point, one can only feel that Fatty is too narrow-minded.

After all, the matter hasn't reached that point yet, and besides, Zhang Lin hasn't said anything beyond redemption. Under this premise, they still have many options; there's no need to head toward such an extreme situation.

But now the matter has undergone a fundamental change. Fatty's starting point is absolutely good, and besides, he has already said things to this extent. Yet Wu Tianzhen still cannot watch his own brother fall into such a dangerous situation.

And just as he was about to speak, Zhang Tianshi's ear moved. Half a second later, both of their ears twitched at the same time.

They saw a person walking over from afar—it was Wang Cen.

When Fatty saw Wang Cen at this moment, he was very displeased and immediately let out a cold snort. It wasn't that Wang Cen had done anything during this period, but rather that his appearing at this moment was so ill-timed, causing Fatty to want to vent all his previous fury onto this person's head.

Just as Fatty was about to speak, Wang Chen raised his hand and laughed.

"Stop arguing, both of you. I understand what you mean—let me go down! I think my skills, if not above Zhang Tianshi's, are at least enough to scout this path."

As the three exchanged glances, Zhang Tianshi's expression recovered the fastest, while Fatty and Wu Tianzhen's expressions were very strange. From their current expressions, one could tell they seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world.

They felt this kind of thing simply shouldn't happen. Standing opposite them was Wang Cen, the most selfish of the Wang family.

And someone who would never consider others. Yet precisely at this moment, he interpreted everything in his own way—he was thinking of everyone.

Before Fatty could react, Wu Tianzhen suddenly laughed, then shook his head. At this moment Wu Tianzhen realized why the other party had chosen to step forward and do this for Team One of the archaeological expedition.

One must know that the fates of both sides are now bound together. Of course, this is secondary. Given the other party's personality, Wu Tianzhen understood clearly.

He would not, just because of their bound fates, truly stand together with Team One of the archaeological expedition, and making such a sacrifice is completely unrealistic. This is a transaction proposed by Wang Cen in a roundabout way.

The more he gives, the safer Sun Nan's side will be. This is the most basic bargaining chip of the transaction, and also what Wang Cen must do. Wang Cen knows that there is a very high chance he will die inside Tiangong.

And Team One of the archaeological expedition will also step over his corpse to reach the true destination. As for these things, Wang Cen no longer cares now. At least he can hand in a satisfactory answer sheet for himself, rather than constantly considering those messy things and letting his mindset crumble further.

Wang Cen is truly a bit tired. The things he pursues now have completely changed, and he also tells himself inwardly that this feeling is actually quite nice—at least he no longer has to be constantly on the run.
