Chapter 2899

"I always say these arm-chair critics who don't feel the strain themselves should go try that kind of scene themselves if they want to see it."

"What kind of skill is it to sit in front of a camera and pass judgment! A bunch of keyboard warriors!"

"What's the rush?! Mr. Zhang is calm and composed — the Second Archaeology Team will definitely be fine."

"No one can guarantee that everyone in the Second Archaeology Team will survive. Please remember what I just said."

The reason some people spoke so cautiously was that they, too, feared being branded with the stigma of questioning Zhang Lin.

Now no one dared to question Zhang Lin, and of course no one had any such thought either. Everything Zhang Lin said was right — or at least leaned toward the right answer.

Whether it was the Second Archaeology Team or all the others watching the livestream, a latent habit had already formed: whenever they were unsure what to do, Zhang Lin's words would instead become everyone's beacon.

Driven by that beacon, they could see through everything. Presumably this time would be no exception — yet they had forgotten the key point Zhang Lin had made earlier.

What Zhang Lin said was to tell the Second Archaeology Team to move quickly. They had already rested for a while, and although Su Nan was now in an awkward position within the Second Archaeology Team—

—Yang Lu had already accepted this point. She was simply waiting for Zhang Lin's order. The officials could naturally discern what the key point of Zhang Lin's words was, so they immediately relayed the message back.

Zhang Lin, atop the New Moon Restaurant, began answering some trivial questions. This was a habit Zhang Lin had formed over his recent outings — he always had to fill the spare time with some idle chatter.

Otherwise the scene would go cold, and that was not his style. And right at that moment, the officials relayed the main message to the Second Archaeology Team.

Upon hearing this, Yang Lu hurriedly stood up and immediately said, "There's news from the New Moon Restaurant — we have to set out and move forward right now!"

No matter what they might encounter going forward, or whether there was any danger, these were not what Yang Lu needed to consider at the moment. As long as she acted according to Zhang Lin's orders, that was enough.

After all, they had already been through so many dangerous situations before, and besides, at this location it was simply impossible to truly settle down.

Zhang Lin had also expressed this idea from the side: all the ease and comfort at present was only temporary. Danger might come at any time. He could only guarantee that no problems would arise during this stretch, but what would happen afterward, no one could predict.

Of course, this kind of awareness posed no problem in ordinary times. Once Zhang Lin's prediction came down, no matter what he said, as long as he told them to leave this location and said to hurry up—

—then something dangerous was bound to happen afterward. So Yang Lu didn't even bother discussing it at length.

All of them had heard what message the officials had relayed, and instinctively began packing up their gear, preparing to set out.

Su Nan saw this scene and was immediately dumbfounded. Not far away, she had naturally also heard the voice that had just come through the satellite communication. And according to Su Nan's understanding, it was not strange that the Second Archaeology Team accepted Zhang Lin's orders — but she had never expected that the firmness with which they carried out those orders had already reached such a degree.

At this moment Su Nan could not help but show a bitter smile, and finally understood why she had ended up at such a disadvantage when negotiating with the First Archaeology Team earlier.

And also the reason the entire Wang family had ended up in its current state was really all because of Zhang Lin. If it had only been those two archaeology teams, then at least the Wang family would not have dissolved now. In fact, Su Nan's way of thinking was both right and wrong.
