Chapter 2737: Life Safety Is the Bottom Line! Don't Touch It!

At least Wu Ya was very smart; she stepped forward and clearly knew what she needed to do next. What Zhang Lin had to do now was simply sit back and watch the show.

He was very confident in Wu Ya's ability to handle the aftermath, and at the same time he was certain that since Wu Ya had stepped forward, she must have laid out all the logic clearly.

If all this logic were fully explained to Fatty and he still remained obstinately deluded, then no matter how unwilling Zhang Lin was to act, he would have to tell Archaeology Team One what to do at the first opportunity.

Because now things had reached the final step, and if this situation didn't exist, or if Wang Canghai's side simply wasn't interested in Archaeology Team One at all, then Zhang Lin wouldn't bother with their survival anymore. No matter how far things went, Zhang Lin could stay out of it.

But now it was completely different. Zhang Lin had no good way to handle it and could only let things continue. Now he was counting on Wu Ya's appearance to bring Fatty back from the brink. And at this moment, within Archaeology Team One, everyone's gaze had shifted.

Wu Tianzhen subconsciously nodded. He felt Wu Ya's stepping forward at this moment couldn't be more appropriate, because if she didn't come out and say something, things would only get more chaotic later—clearly not an outcome anyone wanted to see. Now that things had come to this, everyone had their own thoughts in their hearts, more or less.

And the usually quiet Wu Ya suddenly speaking up to advise Fatty at this moment showed that this matter was bigger than they had imagined, which was exactly what everyone feared most.

But what Fatty had just said, they felt, had some logic to it. The situation they now faced was troubles at home and abroad, and if they let down their guard, it could easily allow someone to take advantage and stab them in the back.

The others' thoughts were simple: perhaps the combat personnel of Archaeology Team One and the trio led by Wu Tianzhen would be on guard under these circumstances and nothing unexpected would happen.

But they were completely different—who would protect them? The answer was obviously blank; no one was truly willing to help or protect them.

Under this premise, they were also very worried, so they didn't dare speak now either, quietly watching the main figures, including Wang Cen.

Actually, when Wang Cen had previously come to the archaeology team and gotten involved in these situations, they had already felt very uneasy, and had assumed he might have ulterior motives, possibly coming to cause trouble. But since this order was issued by Zhang Lin, they couldn't say much and could only let things continue.

But now they had finally found a pretext to do this. If in the end they couldn't settle on a perfect plan, or if Zhang Lin didn't issue corresponding orders, they would also unite and stand together, affirming that Fatty's view was correct.

Don't go down there to die; stick with the previous thinking and just keep waiting.

If they actively went down to die now, it would only put them in an increasingly passive position. No one wanted to become that. Following the archaeology team wasn't out of faith.

Some people were just there to do a job. Of course, although they had shared hardships in the undersea laboratory before, this shared hardship always needed a major premise, or a bottom line.

Once that bottom line was crossed, afterward no one would be willing to let him take on this risk anymore. Wu Tianzhen was stunned when he saw the expressions of the others.

But immediately after, the corner of his mouth curved into an almost imperceptible arc. He hadn't expected that this matter would actually yield an unexpected gain.

But in an instant, a hint of disappointment also flashed through Wu Tianzhen's eyes, though this emotion truly vanished in a flash. Wu Tianzhen realized that perhaps he couldn't demand of everyone what he demanded of Fatty.

And the trio of Archaeology Team One was a relatively unique existence. Under this premise, Wu Tianzhen clearly understood what he had to face.
