Chapter 2980: Turned to ashes! Atonement or deserved?
He was afraid that the other party would choose to make a sacrifice because of impulse or because of his own life; that was the result he least wanted to see.
Fortunately, at this moment, all of Uncle Ming's worries had been dispelled. After he said that sentence, he didn't have a moment's hesitation and immediately pulled the trigger of the pistol.
In an instant, sparks flew everywhere. On this point, Yang Lusi had indeed misjudged!
Uncle Ming's explosives had indeed undergone waterproof treatment. Yang Lusi couldn't help but sigh.
Because they were still relatively far away, no one dodged, and the aftermath of the explosion didn't cause them any impact either.
Yang Lusi couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Uncle Ming was a selfish person, that was true, but at the same time, he also proved his value with practical actions at the final moment.
The so-called "killing a person doesn't go beyond the head touching the ground"—this is exactly the principle now.
Zhang Lin, who was watching the live stream, couldn't help but smile bitterly, and then sighed. In fact, he hadn't expected this point either. He had to admit that Uncle Ming was really determined when he rushed out.
At the very least, at that time, he had already cast aside all scruples. Perhaps what made everyone sigh and feel moved the most was not Uncle Ming's choice itself.
Instead, it was the last words he left behind. Such a selfish person, in the end, didn't think of himself, but of Peter, who had been guarding his safety wholeheartedly. This point was truly not easy.
Only now did everyone understand why Peter remained loyal to Uncle Ming until that time node just now; this was probably the key. Uncle Ming's mistress had died, and he had only left a few crocodile tears. Although he was sad in the end, it was ultimately a bit insincere.
For Peter, it was even more so. At first, everyone thought Uncle Ming just treated Peter as a servant, relying on the fact that he had saved the other party's life to engage in infinite moral kidnapping. The most important thing was that Peter actually accepted these things willingly.
But in the end, Uncle Ming proved himself with practical actions. Perhaps he really wasn't that kind of person; at least, he wasn't now.
The one who was most surprised must be A-Xiang. Having followed Uncle Ming for so long, she knew Uncle Ming's character too well, so when she joined the Second Archaeological Team, she had developed that kind of deep disappointment toward Uncle Ming.
A-Xiang secretly told herself in her heart that at that moment, all the grievances between the two had ended. Everything she had done for so many years could be considered repaying Uncle Ming's upbringing, and she didn't owe the other party anything; the reverse was also true.
Since that was the case, A-Xiang really had nothing to struggle with at that time. She could happily join the Second Archaeological Team.
Only now, A-Xiang felt her heart twitch. Slowly, her eyes turned red, and she didn't even know when all this had happened.
A-Xiang subconsciously wiped her eyes, sniffed, and forcibly sucked the tears back.
It wasn't that A-Xiang was heartless; since the grievances had been settled, there was no need to be sentimental here. Following the Second Archaeological Team, her future would definitely undergo a qualitative change.
Whether it was good or bad, A-Xiang asked herself that she could accept it, but she didn't want to be used by others like before.
She bowed to the place where Uncle Ming had been blown into fragments; this could be considered A-Xiang's farewell.
Other members of the Second Archaeological Team also followed suit. This was the first time they had lost a member, although this person was not from the Second Archaeological Team.
Accompanying Uncle Ming's detonation of the bomb, that giant striped jiao changed from its ferocious appearance just now to lying limp on the ground.
Ake didn't think much, turning the prayer wheel in his hand that he had never put down, closing his eyes, and muttering in his mouth, performing a funeral rite for Uncle Ming again.
【Performing a funeral rite for such a person, it's really not worth it!】
【The dead are the greatest; keep some mouth virtue when speaking.】
【Don't pretend to be a saint here; have you all forgotten the things he did before?】
【His death helped the Second Archaeological Team solve this trouble; it can also be considered atonement.】
【Hehe! Don't tell me you still intend to sing praises for this Uncle Ming.】
【He is not a Wang family member after all; there is really no need to be so mean.】
【When this Uncle Ming did those things, he should have thought that he would end up like this.】
The barrage soon started arguing again. Everyone naturally divided into two factions: one part praised Uncle Ming, and the other part believed that this was deserved, and even the mistakes he had made before were simply unforgivable.
But these were no longer what the Second Archaeological Team cared about at the moment. Anyway, the person was already dead; saying other things had no meaning.
Everyone's mood adjusted very quickly, only Peter remained immersed in that kind of sadness.
Originally, even if Uncle Ming was bound to die, at the very least he could have left a whole corpse. Now, not even a bit of broken flesh could be found. Although he had been protecting Uncle Ming all the way, he ultimately didn't complete this last step, so saying anything was of no avail.
Peter just knelt on the ground, his head hanging low. He didn't cry, nor did he let out a roar, as if he was using this way to say a final farewell to Uncle Ming.
Only Su Nan's mood was different from everyone else's. From the beginning, she didn't feel anything else; instead, she felt that this Uncle Ming was truly a bit stupid. In her view, if the other party hadn't done this, at least there would have been a chance to survive, even if this probability was less than ten percent.
This wasn't that Su Nan didn't understand emotions. If she were really a cold-blooded animal, she wouldn't have made such a choice for Wang Cen. Through this point, it could also be proven that she wasn't a particularly pure Wang family member. Perhaps she was before, only now, if one were to look at the ratio, it should have already risen to an unbelievable level.
But in Su Nan's cognition, Uncle Ming was the person who deserved to die the most. She started from the perspective of the Second Archaeological Team to think about this problem, and in fact, it was also like this.
After all, she had also watched a lot of that live stream along the way and knew what kind of existence Uncle Ming was in the Second Archaeological Team, and she also secretly slandered in her heart: this was just because he had encountered the Second Archaeological Team led by Yang Lusi. If he had encountered her, she would have had many ways to make this Uncle Ming wish he were dead.
From this thought of hers, one could see that Su Nan actually didn't understand Yang Lusi, or rather, the Second Archaeological Team, at all.
For Yang Lusi, if she really wanted to take a ruthless hand, she wouldn't need to waste so much time at all. The key was that since they represented the official,
then they had to undertake a part of the responsibility belonging to the official. If they were always without scruples, even if the people watching the live stream didn't say anything, and Zhang Lin similarly didn't say anything, Yang Lusi herself would still feel bad.
After all, they were not bandits like the Wang family, doing things without any principles or bottom lines. They could represent the official, or rather, Yang Lusi could reach today's level in the Banshan lineage, because she had a bottom line.
If even the bottom line disappeared, Yang Lusi felt that even if the curse were solved, it would have no meaning. This was the real thought Yang Lusi held.
