Chapter 3164: The Search Method Is Too Clumsy

It wasn't that they were allergic to romance, but that they had to respect reality—whatever they did from then on, if it strayed from the practical, they'd only be making trouble for themselves.

Every member of the archaeological team told themselves one thing: they were here for archaeology, for exploration, not to be poets.

Because at every turn they saw scenery that couldn't be found anywhere else, and if they kept getting swept up in that sentimental mood each time, they had no idea how many times they'd end up dead.

Since they couldn't dwell too much on illusory things, what they had to consider now was the practical problem. Now that they'd reached this place, Fatty and Wu Tianzhen exchanged a glance—there was no need for further deliberation; between them, they'd basically already set the plan.

At this moment Zhang Tianshi also walked over. Wu Tianzhen's final glance fell on Wu Ya, and he couldn't help asking, "Setting aside your suggestion, should we act now, or wait until Mr. Zhang has boarded the New Moon Restaurant before we make our move?"

Wu Tianzhen was also endlessly uncertain about what to do next—or rather, even though his mindset had already been firmly set before, for Wu Tianzhen, at the final moment he needed someone to drive the point home.

And right now that person had become Wu Ya. After all, Wu Ya was now Zhang Lin's spokesperson within Archaeological Team One, so what she said became what Zhang Lin said. If Wu Ya really were the scheming sort, Archaeological Team One would very likely have been led completely off course by him.

But the fact that she could become an assistant under Zhang Lin proved Wu Ya's heart was absolutely sound. Moreover, Wu Ya had now proven her abilities, and the most important point was that she had always handled everything with an especially high EQ.

In other words, even if she spotted something fishy in this matter, or had a different opinion, Wu Ya's final choice would absolutely be to stay perfectly composed—she wouldn't draw anyone's attention.

Actually, as long as it wasn't a matter of life and death, Wu Ya wouldn't object. Even if Wu Tianzhen's decision was wrong, in the end it would all lead to the same result, so there was nothing to say.

But if Wu Tianzhen failed to grasp Zhang Lin's intention, and things grew increasingly complicated afterward, then under that premise Wu Ya had to say something.

So the fact that Wu Ya now said nothing meant she also considered Wu Tianzhen's earlier decision correct.

Or rather, even if it were wrong, there was no need to stop it—one of those two outcomes was bound to hold. So the next moment Wu Ya gave a faint smile, shook her head, and didn't even speak.

She simply used that mood to express her thoughts. Wu Tianzhen didn't press Wu Ya to state her position either, because from her mood he basically figured out at once what was on her mind, so at that moment Wu Tianzhen unconsciously let out a breath of relief.

He felt he didn't need to agonize over so much messy stuff. At the very least, Wu Ya's most direct reaction gave him the strongest psychological anchor, and even Fatty breathed a quiet sigh of relief at this point.

Because no matter how certain Fatty had been before, when it came to the critical moment, he still didn't have a hundred percent confidence in handling everything perfectly—after all, he wasn't Zhang Lin.

And even with Zhang Tianshi present, Fatty still didn't dare make such a guarantee. To put it plainly, all of this still rested on Wu Tianzhen.

Without the other man around, Fatty might well have collapsed long ago. But talking about all this now was pointless—in any case, sticking your neck out gets the blade and pulling it back gets the blade too, and Wu Ya had already agreed.

So what else was there to say?

In the past, Archaeological Team One's choices had all leaned toward Zhang Lin's side—that is, if Zhang Lin wasn't on the New Moon Restaurant, they would still press forward.

But instinctively they would also factor in Zhang Lin's position. Yet since Zhang Lin had subtly hinted before that they could think outside the box on this matter, these people simply let go of all those old reservations and stopped worrying about the messy stuff.

Once everything was settled, the three exchanged another look, and then Wu Tianzhen said, "Let's try searching—sweep the whole area, then find a spot to drive the shovel in and dig straight down!"

This was the best way to look for an entrance. Since they couldn't lock onto the right point, they might as well try their luck.

Find a place that looks about right, then dig. That way it could lay the groundwork for what came before—even if the first spot was wrong, at least they could find a second or a third.

As long as they saw something embedded in the ice layer, they might just find the right path. Although this method was clumsy, they had to admit that in the end it all relied on themselves, not on Zhang Lin or anyone else. As long as that condition was met, they hadn't let Zhang Lin down.

Now Wu Tianzhen had completely understood the hidden meaning behind Zhang Lin's words, so he wouldn't hesitate for an instant. Everything had to follow Zhang Lin's earlier orders, then make the corresponding choices.

On Wang Canghai's side, Wang Hu, who was watching the livestream, couldn't help laughing.

Then he couldn't help saying, "Using such a clumsy method—only they could think of it. And they call themselves an archaeological team? Is this all the official side's got?"

Wang Canghai gave him a long look, then asked, "If it were you, what would you choose?"

Wang Hu suddenly turned serious, even a little nervous. This was the first time Wang Canghai had asked him a question, and he knew that if he answered wrong, everything he'd accumulated before might vanish into thin air.

Judging by this, Wang Hu wasn't completely stupid—at least he'd figured out a basic part of Wang Canghai's character.

The man was someone who, in the absolute sense, never left any room for his subordinates. If not for the current tense situation and tight schedule, Wang Hu was absolutely certain that someone like Wang Canghai would never allow a person of his intelligence to serve under him.

So from start to finish, Wang Hu felt he was very lucky to have gained a master like Wang Canghai, someone who could lead him toward true light.

Wang Hu thought it over for a long time, and just as he was about to speak, Wang Canghai—perhaps afraid of hearing too foolish an answer—waved his hand and stopped him from continuing.

Then he went on by himself: "From now on, when you follow me, try to use your brain when thinking about problems. Since you yourself said they're an archaeological team, and those three are each more formidable than the last, they can't possibly be that stupid."
