Chapter 3180

The reason he still calls them the Wang family is simply because they share the surname Wang, nothing more; if it were the original Wang family, Archaeological Team One couldn't possibly negotiate this kind of cooperation with them either—Wang Cen understood this perfectly clearly, and given that, he wouldn't possibly say any more of that nonsense.

At the same time, he wouldn't let himself take that risk either, because there was simply no need—the outcome of the matter was right there in front of him; whether it succeeded or not, these crises and hidden dangers alike would all have to be borne by Wu Tianzhen alone.

The only thing he could do was lead these Wang family members to stand behind Wang Cen; once something happened, they would all be buried together. Actually, Wang Cen didn't voice his own opinion at this moment, but in his heart he was secretly grumbling that Archaeological Team One's courage was really far too small.

If he were leading Archaeological Team One, he would never let the other side be so timid at any moment, even with the premise that Zhang Lin existed.

What Wang Cen said now was indeed not without aim—the direction of reality was exactly so; even if he said it and others didn't agree, the truth was still the truth.

The reason the Wang family had this kind of worry, or could make this kind of choice, was not because they didn't value their own lives or the lives of their subordinates. On the contrary, from Gawa to Wang Cen and then to Leng Feng before, he actually didn't treat his team members' lives with such utter contempt.

It was just that the upper echelons of the Wang family treated these people like dirt. But the reason Wang Cen held such thoughts and had a real-world basis for them came from the fact that they had Mr. Wang as their guide before.

Relatively speaking, even though Mr. Wang or Wang Canghai didn't know as much as Zhang Lin, and couldn't express things so clearly, at least they could offer help on this level.

Unlike the official side with the archaeological team—every time something happened, the officials scurried about like headless chickens. Thinking of this, Wang Cen shrugged helplessly, then glanced at Wu Tianzhen and said nothing more.

Wu Tianzhen, at this moment, was actually more sensitive than the others; just before, he had already been able to sense what kind of deviation the impact of this matter would cause.

If the overall situation of Archaeological Team One had continued in the previous trend, then Wu Tianzhen naturally wouldn't need to care what kind of thoughts the Wang family held.

They could just continue following their own rhythm, but right now it偏偏 wasn't like that—the Wang family had their own choices, yet because of the matter with Su Nan, Wang Cen had his subordinates submit to Archaeological Team One to do these things.

This precisely caused Wang Cen's current criticism of Archaeological Team One's choice; if he weren't worried that the previous cooperation would be wasted entirely, Wang Cen would probably already be mocking Wu Tianzhen for such indecisiveness.

The next moment, Fatty gave Wu Tianzhen a push and glared fiercely at him; he knew Wu Tianzhen was fine in every other way, but at the critical moment this indecisive mentality would sooner or later be his undoing.

Then Wu Tianzhen steeled himself and nodded heavily, not wanting to say anything more; this wasn't because of Fatty's urging, nor because of Wang Cen's contempt—it was because he himself had figured it out.

Actually, he was exactly that kind of person: if it was something he himself couldn't figure out, no matter what attitude others used to criticize or urge him, Wu Tianzhen would never change his original idea.

Unless there was a corresponding reason for the matter, and the person advising him was more than one whole realm stronger than him—for example, Zhang Lin above the New Moon Restaurant using that kind of method to strategize and solve all problems.

Under this premise, Wu Tianzhen would naturally follow Zhang Lin's orders one hundred percent, but fundamentally Zhang Lin hadn't given the archaeological team any orders, and that was the main reason for the change in Wu Tianzhen's mentality. However, looking at the current situation, such a change was meaningless, and such inner conflict served no purpose either.

Having figured all this out, Wu Tianzhen made that nodding motion, and Fatty grinned again, threw his arm around Wu Tianzhen's shoulder, and everyone tacitly leaned against the cliff wall at this moment.

About ten-plus meters from that cave entrance—actually, the cave entrance itself wasn't the most dangerous part; the only reason they leaned against the cliff wall was to avoid the avalanche above.

Of course, all this was only temporary. If the collapsing avalanche above could pose an even more serious threat, based on this, the choices they made afterward would be more extreme than now—this was certain.

This was also why Wu Tianzhen had been worried before, because the probability of triggering an avalanche in this place was really far, far too high. Perhaps a good demolition expert could really solve the corresponding problem, but Wu Tianzhen was, after all, a layman.

He could trust Fatty wholeheartedly, or trust his own archaeological team members, but after all there was still a Wang family member here—Wu Tianzhen's mind grew increasingly chaotic.

At this point he simply stopped worrying about all this, and kept muttering to himself that some things were destined not to be ones he could participate in; as the leader of Archaeological Team One, he had to achieve macro-level coordination, not forever be tangled up in these detailed issues.
