Chapter 3020: Death is fate! Living is luck!

If they had even the slightest ability, they wouldn't be counting on Zhang Lin inside the Crescent Moon Restaurant to do all this analysis and explanation.

Even though Zhang Lin is capable, the officials would still be too proud to let a storyteller like Zhang Lin intervene in all this.

And by letting all this happen now, these officials have openly admitted that no one on their side is a match for Zhang Lin — that even all of them combined don't possess as much knowledge as Zhang Lin controls.

Under this premise, one could say the officials have lost all shame, yet they decisively threw every problem to Zhang Lin.

Even if Zhang Lin has no such obligation and won't help the archaeology team solve every problem, he's still far better than the officials handling these inexplicable issues themselves.

Still under the live broadcast cameras, any slip by the officials would draw the condemnation of millions, even tens of millions or more — these burdens, blame, and pressure of public opinion are more than the officials can bear.

This kind of evasion on their part hasn't gone uncriticized, but as time has passed, everyone has grown used to the officials using this method to deal with the archaeology team's crises.

Perhaps in their eyes this is also a good thing — at least when the officials don't understand, they don't issue blind commands; that's a blessing in disguise.

In the Second Archaeology Team, everyone's expression turned solemn after seeing those four words. Zhang Lin may have turned off the broadcast precisely because he didn't want to see that solemn, tense mood.

Staying vigilant in your heart is right, but if you're at the point of seeing threats in every shadow and treating everything as a phantom menace, it certainly won't do any good for what they have to do next.

But right now Zhang Lin has no choice — he must continue using this method to let things go on, which in a way is also helping the archaeology team.

If everything collapsed just because of those four words, Zhang Lin was certain that was absolutely impossible. If it really were that way, besides saving Yang Lu alone, Zhang Lin wouldn't care about anyone else's feelings.

Because in that situation, he would be utterly disappointed in everyone in the Second Archaeology Team except Yang Lu.

Fortunately reality didn't play out as Zhang Lin imagined — especially Wang Kaixuan, whose solemn mood lasted only a few seconds before he broke into a wide grin.

He then said loudly: "Captain Yang, we've all strapped our lives to our belts. Anyway, if we make it out alive this time, it's luck; if we die, we won't complain."

Hearing this, Yang Lu strode forward, raised her hand, and slapped Wang Kaixuan right on the head — an action that left everyone dumbfounded.

But soon they also realized why Yang Lu had made that choice.

The reason was simple — Wang Kaixuan's words were far too defeatist!

Even if it only concerned himself and didn't drag others in, Yang Lu absolutely would not allow it.

Wang Kaixuan showed no unusual reaction; after being slapped, he instead laughed even more shamelessly.

He went on: "Captain Yang, I know you're worried about us, but we don't want to be a burden either. I think even if only one person in the end breaks the curse, for us that's still a success, isn't it? All of this is my own choice, nothing to do with anyone else."

This time it was Yang Lu who was stunned, and everyone else instinctively nodded as well.

That was a tacit agreement with Wang Kaixuan's words — he was right, all of this was their own choice, and had nothing to do with anyone else.

Looking at the newer members of the archaeology team, Chuyi, and Ake at this moment, their emotions were all different.

But in the short time after, they too were infected by this atmosphere surrounding the matter.

There was also Su Nan — for the first time she felt such a longing for a team like this, which was also related to her having grown up in the Wang family.

If this situation were within the Wang family, the Wang family people certainly wouldn't maintain such unity and keep going.

They would only keep killing each other along the way, even believing that not everyone could break the curse in the end, so the fewer people alive, the more it would help them break the curse.

Looking at the Second Archaeology Team, it seemed everyone hoped the person beside them would break the curse rather than themselves — they wanted their will carried on by someone else, and that was what mattered most. This also reflected, from another angle, the cohesion of this team and the precious quality of each person.

The old Su Nan, even if she had seen or heard of this, would absolutely never have believed it.
