Chapter 2857: Footsteps in the Darkness! Is it the Wang Family Again?
Now the two need to do is to wait for the arrival of the others from Archaeological Team Two. Yang Lusi's shout just now had already announced to everyone that she was safe.
And under this situation, the choice everyone made at the first moment was to hurry down and meet up with her, nothing else.
Yang Lusi saw that A-Xiang's emotions were gradually stabilizing, and began to observe the surrounding situation. Just as Zhang Lin thought, at this current juncture, what Yang Lusi needs to do is to determine the safety of the location they are currently in.
As long as she can ensure that this place is relatively safe, then Yang Lusi can cast aside all thoughts, just choose to rest here and wait for Zhang Lin to board the Crescent Hotel.
As for wanting to prove her own subjective intentions, they will all be restrained.
In fact, Yang Lusi is not that she doesn't want to be a hands-off leader, but whether as the team leader of Archaeological Team Two or Zhang Lin's junior sister, all realistic identities do not allow her to do so. She must shoulder the responsibilities she should fulfill. Facing this kind of responsibility that cannot be jumped out of, Yang Lusi's awareness is much higher than anyone else's.
Although Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan occasionally want to stop Yang Lusi from doing some dangerous behaviors in their cognition.
But in most situations, they ultimately cannot stop the other party. This is not that Yang Lusi wants to be arrogant; after all, besides her, no one else can do those things.
Even if Yang Lusi is really that kind of ruthless team leader, choosing to let Wang Kaixuan and Hu Bayi take risks, what is the meaning of that?
The two are destined to return in failure. Being able to leave a life can already be considered very lucky. As long as they want to continue to move forward later, then all of this still has to rely on herself.
So Yang Lusi chose to do it herself directly, not making any probes, so that she could solve the problem more quickly, and they could also walk forward smoothly all the way.
After a moment of exploration, Yang Lusi nodded slowly, determining that this place was indeed safe, so there was nothing to worry about.
But just at this moment, she heard footsteps coming from afar.
Yang Lusi was stunned at first, and after confirmation, she determined that this came from afar, not from above.
Now the others from Archaeological Team Two are coming down from above, so if footsteps came from the trestle path that could not be seen.
Then Yang Lusi would not be the slightest bit surprised; that was precisely the others from Archaeological Team Two listening to her current order and choosing to come down to meet up with her.
But this sound came from afar, so Yang Lusi had to raise her spirits to the twelfth degree. She took A-Xiang to one side and let the other party hide in a corner first.
And Yang Lusi picked up the Vajra Umbrella and touched over from the side. In fact, Yang Lusi's best choice was to hide like A-Xiang.
Quietly waiting for the change in the situation, and then acting after seeing who the person coming was, this way she could also wait for her team members to come and converge, and their grasp would be greater.
But Yang Lusi instinctively had a suspicion, just like the Wang family members who caused them trouble before—it was the same principle.
Although in intuition, she leaned more toward the Wang family not following Archaeological Team Two anymore, she also knew that perhaps this possibility was not great. The Wang family has existed for so many years; never underestimate their persistence.
Not to mention that there is still a person behind the scenes commanding the Wang family. Under the prompting of this situation, there will always be those who are stubborn and cannot suppress their greed, not to mention that the person behind this has been coveting the Dust-Bead for more than a day or two.
After opening the mechanism just now, Yang Lusi immediately took back the Dust-Bead. Now she has also done a better job in protecting the Dust-Bead.
If it were really the arrival of the main force of the Wang family, the only purpose of Yang Lusi making this choice was to let the others of Archaeological Team Two not come down.
Then she would lead the Wang family members away by herself. Even if the Dust-Bead is still on her person now, Yang Lusi still has a great grasp of escaping from the siege of the other party.
Regarding lifting the curse, they can even deliberate in the long run. Now Yang Lusi has already realized very clearly that if they don't kill all the Wang family members, they are destined to have no way to continue to move forward comfortably. Since this is the case, what is there to agonize over? Even if she didn't seek Zhang Lin's opinion on this matter.
But Yang Lusi also determined that even if she acted on her own initiative to cooperate with Zhang Lin from the side, the other party would definitely not feel troubled by the decision she made.
After all, everything before basically verified this point. Only after figuring all this out would Yang Lusi be so unhesitating.
It was just that for her at the moment, the most awkward thing was that she couldn't very intuitively send a signal to the people above, as that might alert the enemy, because the footsteps from afar had already come over, so Yang Lusi had to go over and check the situation first.
After the situation is confirmed, it won't be too late to make a choice.
In the dark corner, A-Xiang, who was curled up there, was full of confusion. She also heard the footsteps, but A-Xiang's ability to distinguish positions by sound was not that strong, so she had no suspicion and determined that the footsteps were made by their own people.
At this time, she was thinking in her heart: didn't Yang Lusi already say how to choose regarding similar situations before? Why was the other party more nervous than anyone else when their own people came down?
Yang Lusi didn't have time to explain so much to A-Xiang, only letting the other party act according to her orders.
She walked forward alone for tens of meters, treading softly, deliberately hiding her own footsteps, until the footsteps on the opposite side became more and more heavy, and Yang Lusi found a dark corner to hide.
Now she didn't want to agonize over those anymore. If the other party was really the Wang family, then she would act directly, and wouldn't even have the slightest hesitation.
Holding such thoughts, Yang Lusi gripped the Vajra Umbrella in her hand tightly. Just at this moment, the faint light of a flashlight came over.
At first, that group of people on the opposite side was in a cave at a corner, and only footsteps could be heard, and the light of the flashlight couldn't be seen at all. And this light shining over was considered to have sent a signal to Yang Lusi.
Yang Lusi took a deep breath. If it were normal times, she wouldn't need to be so nervous; fundamentally speaking, all of this was still mastered in her own rhythm.
But now the realistic situation told Yang Lusi that she couldn't be too dilatory.
Relying solely on her personal strength, she indeed couldn't solve all problems.
But Yang Lusi was acting more resolute now.
It is uncertain if she doesn't need to really take the Dust-Bead to lead everyone away, find an opportunity to give the Dust-Bead to Shen Qiong, and let them continue to move forward, thereby lifting the curse.
