Chapter 3098: Awkward Atmosphere! Finding the Breakthrough Again!

~7 min read 1,226 words

If he were to make a move against the other party right away, Zhang Lin didn't even dare to imagine what would happen afterward.

But before that, Zhang Lin had already been calculating everything that would happen before and after in his mind, following Yang Lu's overall logic of action.

No matter how crazy she got, she wouldn't make that kind of extreme and brain-dead choice; after all, she had been the head of Moving Mountains for so long that certain things had already become habits in her heart.

So before defining any one person, Yang Lu would always leave some room in her intuition, and wouldn't think herself invincible in everything and then charge in mindlessly—Wang Canghai and the Wang family squad they had encountered before were simply not in the same league.

Once this point was made clear, Zhang Lin believed Yang Lu would know how to respond; once she saw the signs were wrong, he likewise believed Yang Lu would absolutely pull back at the first moment.

Restraining all her subjective emotions, then whether it was cooperating with Wang Canghai's actions or feigning agreement to his demands, there would be no problem at all.

As for the matter of the Muchen Zhu, Zhang Lin naturally had arrangements for later; if Wang Canghai used disguise to infiltrate Archaeology Team Two, as long as Yang Lu quietly saw through his identity, then all of this would be fine.

Even if Wang Canghai still used the identity of the mysterious person to do all this, Yang Lu wouldn't provoke him at the first moment.

Since Archaeology Team One could feign cooperation with Wang Cen at the start, Yang Lu could make the same choice—this was certain.

This was also the most crucial part of Zhang Lin's deployment of this plan; as long as Yang Lu used this approach, many subsequent choices would be on Archaeology Team Two's side.

Once that instrument was found, Wang Canghai would suddenly make his move, and during this process he would also give Yang Lu the relevant guidance.

Zhang Lin had already thought this through very clearly; moreover, after Wang Canghai infiltrated Archaeology Team Two, he would lose one of his greatest advantages.

He wasn't like the trio from Archaeology Team One who could steal the signal from New Moon Restaurant; that meant throughout the entire process, he could only analyze based on the answers transmitted via satellite communication from Yang Lu's side.

And at that moment, Wang Canghai would basically lose all initiative completely; right now at least, in certain matters, Wang Canghai could still actively make corresponding choices.

But once it reached that kind of situation, whatever Zhang Lin above New Moon Restaurant said would go; Wang Canghai had no way to use these methods to give the most reasonable analysis—this was the brilliance of Zhang Lin's plan.

Of course, throughout the entire process, Yang Lu did have to shoulder some risks, but these risks absolutely did not involve her life.

Once it came to a life-or-death situation, Zhang Lin wouldn't let Yang Lu make that kind of choice—this was certain; afterward, as long as Yang Lu could understand Zhang Lin's good intentions, there would be no problem.

And at this moment, Wang Canghai saw the tense and awkward atmosphere within Archaeology Team Two, and felt he could use this point later; but then Wang Canghai suddenly sighed—even if he saw through all this, so what?

He kept telling himself that the most important thing now was that his speed simply couldn't keep up; what he needed to do right now was hurry to Archaeology Team Two's current location, not get caught up in all this mess; once he arrived at the scene, no matter what method he used to respond, it would have its own logic.

But if up to now he still couldn't make contact with Archaeology Team Two's situation, everything would just be empty fantasy—Wang Canghai understood this more clearly than anyone.

Having thought this through, Wang Canghai simply closed his eyes again, resting his head on the chair back and resting with his eyes shut; but even so he didn't turn off the livestream. At this time, Wang Canghai's ear flaps would twitch from time to time, listening to what Archaeology Team Two was actually saying.

Looking back at Archaeology Team Two, Ake still seemed unwilling to discuss these things; the next moment Yang Lu shook her head and didn't persist on this issue, also because it was too late—she wanted everyone to rest quickly and not discuss anything further.

And if Ake hadn't changed his mind by tomorrow morning, even if she had to force him, she would make him say these things; or Yang Lu herself could drive the pace, letting him make the corresponding choice—that would also be fine.

After all, Yang Lu didn't want to watch this matter just go on like this, regardless of what she had previously thought about Zhang Lin's approach.

But at least in the past two days, Yang Lu had already seen that the other things Zhang Lin had done were meant to give Archaeology Team Two the right to choose for themselves, letting her decide the direction of certain matters.

Yang Lu also very naturally took on this kind of thing as her own mission; that is, in the current environment, Yang Lu felt she should guide according to the situation, only wanting the other party to speak their thoughts—this was what Yang Lu, as the leader, should do.

For a long time as leader, she had only thought of leading from the front; of course this thinking wasn't wrong, and this approach itself could be considered as preserving the lives of all the archaeological team's members.

If Yang Lu hadn't charged to the very front at every critical moment, they couldn't have repeatedly turned danger into safety; at some point in time, they might have lost their lives because of certain crises.

But now everyone was alive and well; however, Yang Lu also felt guilty because of the curse matter—in fact, the others hadn't thought this way at all.

Although Wang Kaixuan always got very excited once the curse was mentioned, he didn't dwell on this issue, and instead believed this was something they had to go through.

Since they were an archaeological team, this kind of risk had to be borne; no one really blamed Yang Lu—they only focused on surviving in their own way.

If Yang Lu didn't let them continue following the team onward, then they would harbor complaints.

But to really make that decision, there was one prerequisite: once Yang Lu learned that breaking the curse with the Muchen Zhu didn't require any ritual.

But rather, after obtaining the antidote through certain mechanisms, it would be fine; if it really were like that, Yang Lu would definitely set out on her own, one hundred percent, and then go look for that so-called antidote.

But right now it simply wasn't that kind of situation; before this, Zhang Lin had already analyzed it very clearly up at New Moon Restaurant—it was some instrument, some device, or something like an altar, just like the Black Tiger Xuan Altar they had seen before.

Only through this method could the curse be successfully broken; otherwise, any other method was a fantasy and simply unrealistic.
