Chapter 3178: Done already? Isn't that way too fast?!
Without Zhang Lin, given her own situation, Wu Ya could never have returned to Archaeology Team One, and Wu Ya believed that Zhang Lin had arranged for her to return to Archaeology Team One precisely because she, in the guise of Regarding Lou Wan, had already built up a corresponding tacit understanding within the team.
Although this tacit understanding might cause Wu Ya to be exposed ahead of time, and might even bring danger upon herself, fundamentally speaking, Zhang Lin's art of disguise truly concealed everything.
Unless Wang Canghai turned his gun around and actually came to Archaeology Team One to interfere with everything here, no one else could possibly see through Wu Ya's identity.
Even if they had their suspicions, they could not seize upon any evidence, which is also why the three-person group of Archaeology Team One personally escorted Regarding Lou Wan to Zhang Lin's side, and in the end, that very act dispelled all their doubts.
Because they were also very clear that in this world, suspicion is probably the most useless thing of all; all they had to do was trust Zhang Lin—nothing else.
It was the same logic as the question Wu Tianzhen had just asked Wu Ya—Wu Ya appeared not to have given Wu Tianzhen an answer, but in fact, that was the best response.
She used this very method to tell Wu Tianzhen to stop thinking about all that messy stuff; dealing properly with what was right in front of him was what he truly needed to do.
Once the explosives were bought, it became a situation where sticking your neck out meant the blade and pulling it in meant the blade just the same—someone needed the courage to press the button and see what was buried down below.
Wu Ya believed that at this moment, not only herself and the viewers in the livestream, but even Zhang Tianshi within Archaeology Team One, should all be extremely curious about what was inside.
On a smaller scale, this was because of the mission assigned by the authorities—this couldn't be denied, after all, they were still an official archaeological team, not merely needing to obey Zhang Lin's orders, though of course that was just one way of putting it.
At least now, the reality was indeed that they only obeyed Zhang Lin's orders; moreover, the authorities wouldn't issue blind commands, which was what had allowed things to reach their current state—at least developing in a good direction.
Taking a step back, if the authorities hadn't been so tactful, Wang Canghai might have had his way long ago, and by then Zhang Lin would probably have stopped caring about all this messy business.
On a larger scale, the layers involved were far too broad—the first thing to consider was Tiangong itself, followed by Wang Canghai's situation, but fundamentally, nine times out of ten, all of this would still connect back to the Wan Nu King.
Whenever these matters involved the Wan Nu King, they were more dangerous than Wang Canghai—this was a fact acknowledged by everyone, and didn't even need Zhang Lin to emphasize it specially.
Because previously at the New Moon Hotel, Zhang Lin had subtly made these people understand this principle, and since they were clear on this point, they shouldn't keep dwelling on other matters.
Wu Tianzhen put himself in the calmest state possible; even though Wu Ya hadn't given him a concrete explanation just now, Wu Tianzhen knew it clearly in his own heart.
If he kept obsessing over these things, there would definitely be no good outcome, and seeing Wu Tianzhen's expression at this moment, Wu Ya also breathed a sigh of relief.
In truth, Wu Ya had also been quietly mulling it over just now—if Wu Tianzhen had been too hung up on these things, how should she have responded?
Should she really have called Zhang Lin to ask what exactly was going on? Now all of this was Archaeology Team One's own choice, which was understandable, so they couldn't go bothering Zhang Lin again—this was also what Wu Tianzhen himself had said earlier.
Since that was the case, they couldn't slap themselves in the face so quickly, and right now what they most needed to focus on, in the final analysis, was still whether Fatty could blast that opening open.
If this went smoothly, then everything would proceed without the slightest impact; all they needed to consider was how to get in through that opening and then downward.
But that was the most optimistic way of thinking—even though Wu Tianzhen was sure this method was correct, the dosage of the explosives themselves and the skill level of these few people were all problems.
The key was still this awkward situation now—no one could guarantee they had a hundred percent certainty of handling everything properly, and Wu Tianzhen was absolutely sure of this.
Given that, his mindset would definitely be completely different from before, and while the three of them were busily arranging things down below, Wu Tianzhen had thought he'd have to wait a while longer.
He didn't expect that after another two minutes, Fatty came up first, followed by that Wang family member, and finally the person in charge of blasting brought by Archaeology Team Two; the three exchanged glances and smiles, saying nothing.
Fatty hurried over and said, "Tianzhen, it's done!"
Wu Tianzhen couldn't help but be dumbfounded, then shook his head and said, "Done already? You guys…"
At this point, Wu Tianzhen's words trailed off; he didn't want to question anything right now, but at least given the current situation, these people had wrapped everything up in no time at all, which was rather baffling.
Actually, Wu Tianzhen's reaction wasn't surprising—because this kind of thing, from the very start, should have gone through endless deliberation and second-guessing, yet they seemed to have no hesitation at all; this was also Wu Tianzhen not understanding how professionals talk.
Anyone who knew a thing or two about directional blasting should understand that, given this angle, there was really only one way to set up the explosives—because the space itself was narrow, and within that small space, the pressure could only be channeled downward, not upward.
Even so, it would still trigger some chain reactions, and what they needed to do was control those chain reactions so they wouldn't spread too far—if it reached the mountaintop, the resulting avalanche would be the outcome no one wanted to see from the start.
Seeing Wu Tianzhen's reaction at this moment, Fatty didn't need the other to say anything to know that Wu Tianzhen must have his doubts about the matter, and Fatty grinned.
He said right away, "Tianzhen, you still don't trust me? This is the result of the three of us discussing it—I won't say it's a hundred percent right, but at least here, no one can offer a better suggestion."
It had to be said, Fatty's way of speaking at the critical moment was quite interesting—at least this manner of talking was acceptable to everyone.
Fatty didn't claim he was absolutely right, and he left room for error in their three-person discussion; if he had thumped his chest and guaranteed there was no mistake at all, then if they actually did make some mistakes, it would only invite criticism from the others.
