Chapter 3174: Once It's Settled, No More Hesitating! Let's Get to Work!

~7 min read 1,227 words

But from this point alone, they had thoroughly mixed up their own understanding with Zhang Lin's thinking — it was even the exact opposite.

The next moment, everyone nodded. Wang Wang Canghai narrowed his eyes slightly, and just as Wu Tianzhen of Archaeology Team One was finishing his preparations and rallying the troops, the plane was about to take off — five minutes early. It was this airline's trademark. Wang Wang Canghai had wanted to call a flight attendant over to give them a piece of his mind.

He hadn't expected that at this moment Wang Hu would say: "This airline is just like that, but they always arrive early. Being on time, for them, is the same as being late."

Hearing this, Wang Wang Canghai didn't blow up. If they could arrive early, it would at least let his mood settle down a little — after all, Archaeology Team One seemed to have already committed to that principle.

Then they, the Zhuding Society, would end up on the same wavelength as Archaeology Team Two — the result Wang Wang Canghai least wanted to see. But right now, every single thing was heading in that direction.

So Wang Wang Canghai couldn't afford to keep drifting; he had to reach Archaeology Team Two quickly, so his mind wouldn't be in such a mess.

Right now Wang Wang Canghai had a floaty feeling, as if he couldn't grasp anything. So he had to act fast — but he couldn't control the plane's speed. Still, since Wang Hu had said that, it meant he could reach Sichuan-Tibet and the location of Archaeology Team Two even sooner. This couldn't help but let Wang Wang Canghai breathe a sigh of relief.

And now that the plane had taken off, even if he couldn't watch the livestream, Wang Wang Canghai wasn't that anxious anymore. At this moment Wang Wang Canghai was also imagining what would happen next. For him, the most unacceptable outcome was nothing less than Archaeology Team One actually finding that entrance.

But after that, would Archaeology Team One really dare to go inside?

No matter how pessimistically Wang Wang Canghai thought about it, he was certain that was absolutely impossible. Even if he gave them eight hundred more guts, they wouldn't dare make that choice. And Wang Wang Canghai's confidence wasn't blind — the key was that beneath that place itself there was something else.

Breaking through the ice layer required taking a risk, but getting rid of that thing required more than just courage. It was like a mechanism — you always had to find the right method to clear it.

If they just charged forward blindly, it would only bring corresponding danger to themselves and others, regardless of whether Archaeology Team One had been like a horse that had slipped its reins the moment before, charging ahead without a care.

But at least the moment after he broke open that gap and saw what was inside, he would absolutely return to his former cautious state at the very first instant.

Wang Wang Canghai was more certain of this than anyone. So the next moment Wang Wang Canghai simply closed his eyes for real, thinking that when he opened them again, they'd be in Sichuan-Tibet and Zhang Lin would already be up.

He had called Zhang Lin countless times before. Back then, who knew — once Zhang Lin got news of Mr. Wang, he might be the first to lose his patience and reach out to him on his own.

With this thought, Wang Wang Canghai truly managed to calm his mind, at least for the moment.

Meanwhile, looking back at Archaeology Team One, Wu Tianzhen had already told everyone everything that needed to be said. At this point, to say they were fired up wouldn't be quite right, but at the very least they had made their attitude perfectly clear.

They wouldn't think about that messy stuff anymore. Bringing it up again would be not only disrespectful to their leader Wu Tianzhen, but also disrespectful to Zhang Lin above them at the New Moon Hotel.

Although Zhang Lin hadn't gone to the New Moon Hotel now, during that past stretch of time, if it weren't for Zhang Lin being with Archaeology Team One, they wouldn't have gotten any chance at all back in Wang Wang Canghai's undersea laboratory — that was the reality.

The cruelest part was that in the final moment, their escape depended entirely on Zhang Lin's instructions. Otherwise, there wouldn't have been the slightest chance.

Fatty saw that Wu Tianzhen had said about enough. At this point he walked over and stood beside Wu Tian, resting the shovel in his hand on his shoulder.

Then he declared loudly: "Since it's all settled, we've got nothing more to say — let's get to work!"

Fatty was the most practical man of action. Once he'd set his mind on something, he wouldn't dawdle — that was a fact everyone acknowledged. The others exchanged glances.

Though a wry smile tugged at their lips, they couldn't say anything. Now it all came down to where exactly to place the directional charge. They needed to pick a reasonable spot for the blast, not blunder around like headless flies.

This was completely different from the earlier carpet search — that had just been circling around here. Whether or not they found the entrance, even if they came up empty, it wouldn't cause any loss.

If they planted explosives recklessly now, it could easily cause resonance in the ground, or if the dosage was wrong, the sound waves would propagate layer by layer and trigger an avalanche — just like that Wang family member had said before. They'd be buried here forever.

But now a new problem had cropped up: who exactly should choose the precise location for the blast and the amount of explosives? This wasn't just one group anymore.

The Wang family side also had explosives experts, and Archaeology Team One had people like that too. Speaking from Archaeology Team One's perspective, naturally they wouldn't care what the Wang family people thought — they could just do things their own way.

But that was all before. If Wang Cen hadn't brought up genuine cooperation — giving up everything for Archaeology Team One for Su Nan's life —

naturally they wouldn't have needed to consider Wang Cen or the feelings of the Wang family people he had brought along. Now it was completely different. Wang Cen already suspected Wu Tianzhen didn't quite trust him, and was carrying certain emotions about it.

Although he hadn't made it explicit in his stated intentions, anyone with eyes could see that Wang Cen did harbor such thoughts. Given this premise, they couldn't treat it with a flippant attitude. So before taking action, Wu Tianzhen walked over to Wang Cen.

Then, with a faint smile, he asked: "Wang Cen, do you think your people should handle it, or ours?"

At this moment, the man in charge of explosives behind Wang Cen hurriedly stepped forward, but Wang Cen waved him back and said: "Let your people handle it. Ours will just watch."

"Boss!"

The man behind immediately protested — this was a matter of life and death. Although the people Wang Cen had brought weren't afraid to die, and they had long since written everything off,
