Chapter 2732

The approaching footsteps that had been drawing closer suddenly vanished, and on top of that baseline tension, everyone grew even more nervous. Now all of them leaned toward the belief that this group had come to cause trouble and had absolutely nothing to do with the Wang family; even Wang Cen showed wariness in his eyes.

At the very beginning he had no such feelings at all. He had been certain that even if something unexpected really happened, Archaeology Team One could handle it completely, but all things fear this kind of unknown territory.

Once these matters all become unknown, their subsequent choices will grow fewer and fewer, and they may even find it very hard to weather this crisis itself — clearly that is not the outcome Wang Cen wants to face.

This time Wang Cen felt Wu Tianzhen's vigilance was not at all wrong. At the very least, if this group truly meant well, they would never have let their footsteps suddenly vanish, and the current situation boiled down to two possibilities.

Either this group ran into some unexpected situation that caused their footsteps to break off suddenly, so they failed to give advance notice and thus drew such suspicion; or another possibility — the group they were wary of might not come from any particular place, and was trying to interfere with Archaeology Team One's subsequent actions.

But precisely because of this, the wariness in Wu Tianzhen's heart actually relaxed a few degrees. Just as they had thought before, apart from the Wang family people and that mysterious person, who else could target the archaeology team with such things? Even if they had eaten a bear's heart and leopard's gall, they still wouldn't dare.

Because their own strength was an uncrossable chasm; for this group to attempt such a thing was a complete fantasy.

On this premise, they should not have made their current choice — unless they were truly tired of living. Taking this into account, Wu Tianzhen's mindset settled into a very calm state.

Fatty, seeing the change in Wu Tianzhen's expression at this moment, could not help but give him a hard slap. Wu Tianzhen winced and bared his teeth; he knew Fatty was doing this now purely to get even.

The earlier matter clearly had not yet come to an end. If this group had not shown up, Fatty could have made full use of the pretext.

He told Wu Tianzhen that since a group of people was watching them with predatory intent, and now had not yet shown themselves, yet they still needed to keep the internal situation stable — they could not pretend they hadn't noticed.

In other words, what they needed to do now was not at all to descend into the tomb. Clearly they also didn't need anyone to scout the way; the only thing they needed to do was guard against the people who would appear next.

But if Zhang Lin knew, he would definitely be very disappointed at Fatty's current way of thinking. First, a crisis of that sort absolutely would not appear now, because Zhang Lin had already made things very clear before — the mysterious person had already gone to Archaeology Team Two.

On the contrary, the crises Archaeology Team One needed to face were few and far between; the key still lay in the matter inside Tiangong. Why was it that Zhang Lin was so eager to have them move quickly and reach the interior of Tiangong?

No matter where this place was, as long as they took the first step, then even if the road ahead was not that simple, at the very least this journey would be set in motion.

Rather than wandering around in circles here at the present spot, which would only make subsequent matters more and more complicated — of this, Zhang Lin was more certain than anyone.

But unfortunately Archaeology Team One had not realized any of this at all right now, or rather only a few people had realized it; the majority still did not understand the stakes involved, and this was what worried Zhang Lin most.

Now Zhang Lin, watching the Archaeology Team One livestream, frowned more and more deeply. As for the footsteps suddenly vanishing, it was nothing to Zhang Lin; even though through the livestream camera he could not hear those faint sounds, the wariness appearing at this moment was still wrong.

Because Zhang Lin had previously told Wu Tianzhen that another group of Wang family people would arrive here. No matter what intentions these people harbored, at the very least they would absolutely not defy Zhang Lin's orders.

Because Mr. Wang and Zhang Lin had already negotiated the deal very clearly. As for Wang Hu and his group, that was a complete accident within an accident, because no one had expected Wang Wang Canghai to suddenly bump into Wang Hu's group.

At the very beginning, when Zhang Lin wanted to use these Wang family people to accomplish these things, he had already anticipated that Wang Wang Canghai would definitely intervene in the matter.

But for Zhang Lin, even if Wang Wang Canghai truly went to that extent in some matters, it would not matter much.

This was not Zhang Lin being overconfident; these things were indeed laid out before everyone's eyes, leaving no room for anyone to refute, and this was the mindset Zhang Lin had always held.

He felt that no one could truly interfere with the things he wanted to do afterward.
