Chapter 3181: A Muffled Boom! Everyone, Stop Talking!

If it were really like that, the Wang family would not be the only ones looking down on him right now—he himself would look down on himself.

There was also the fact that Zhang Lin might end up deeply disappointed in him. Once Wu Tianzhen thought this through, he drew a deep breath, immediately steadied his mindset, and stopped thinking about all that messy nonsense.

Of everything that had just happened, the one he feared most was still Zhang Lin. If Zhang Lin was dissatisfied with his performance, Wu Tianzhen was absolutely certain of that.

Zhang Lin might very well give up on Archaeology Team One afterward, and that would be a consequence caused entirely by him alone. Wu Tianzhen would rather die than see that kind of situation.

Of course, the reason he was thinking this way now was because he vaguely guessed that Yang Lu from Archaeology Team Two and Zhang Lin from the New Moon Restaurant absolutely had an unusually close relationship.

In fact, this answer had already been indirectly confirmed countless times, but not a single person had any proof. What they saw was Zhang Lin indulging Yang Lu again and again.

No matter what wrong choice she made, Zhang Lin would correct it in time. If Yang Lu stubbornly insisted, Zhang Lin would even gently guide her from the side, telling her that some things truly could not be done that way.

And under that kind of skillful guidance, Yang Lu would also accept Zhang Lin's claim. This was enough to make everyone harbor that kind of doubt, but correspondingly they also formed a tacit understanding and no longer used this method to question Zhang Lin about anything. Perhaps it was also because of the appearance of the mysterious person that they figured out the stakes involved.

Once they still clung to such thoughts, it might really bring Yang Lu some kind of trouble. Under this premise, they naturally didn't have the nerve to keep gossiping about it.

And Zhang Lin also showed himself to be thoroughly magnanimous. He understood that perhaps everyone has a gossiping heart, but this kind of thing only needed to be kept within a certain range—absolutely not taken too far!

If it went too far, it would only drag himself and others into a certain extreme situation, and at that point Zhang Lin might not be able to fully regain control of the original rhythm.

Zhang Lin was doing his utmost in these matters because he hoped these people could understand the stakes involved. At first, Zhang Lin actually didn't hold out too much hope, but as things changed later, Zhang Lin knew his understanding of these people was fairly accurate—at the very least, their choices hadn't disappointed him too much.

Since these onlookers were all so sensible as to let these matters go, if Wu Tianzhen brought this matter up again, or used it as an analogy with Archaeology Team One to question Zhang Lin's unfairness, then he would simply be seeking his own death.

And just at this moment, Fatty was about to press the detonator. Wu Ya suddenly gave Wu Tianzhen a slight smile. The meaning of that smile was very simple—it told him to relax. In Wu Ya's view, the snow accumulated above wasn't much of a problem. First of all, the power of this kind of directional blasting wasn't all that great.

Based on this, even if there was an avalanche above, the first one wouldn't be too severe, and in fact the first two times there wouldn't be any problem at all.

Of course, if they failed to cherish these two opportunities and completely squandered them, then there would be no third chance—or even if there was, the third time would become a death sentence. Wu Ya naturally didn't want to see that kind of outcome.

But this was only the first time. As an expert in directional blasting, every experiment was bound to bring back corresponding experimental data. She believed that the second time, by making that kind of dosage compensation, they would definitely be able to solve all the problems.

This wasn't Wu Ya being blindly optimistic—reality really had given everyone many chances within this range. Wu Ya believed she definitely hadn't misjudged.

The main thing was trusting Mr. Zhang. After all, Zhang Lin had used that method to subtly pass the message to Archaeology Team One, letting them make their own choices.

That proved Zhang Lin fully recognized the abilities of the three-person core of Archaeology Team One, and by extension also recognized the abilities of the other members of Archaeology Team One. Under this kind of coordinated cooperation, Archaeology Team One could absolutely solve far more problems than they themselves imagined or knew.

At first, what Wu Tianzhen had fallen into was that misconception. He was terrified that anything he did would affect the overall rhythm of the archaeology team, so he had always been timid and overcautious.

But Zhang Lin wanted to use the most realistic words to tell him there was no need to worry about all that messy nonsense—just keep moving forward. Excessive worry would only drag him into endless mental exhaustion.

That would have no meaning whatsoever for the archaeology team's later development. In fact, Zhang Lin couldn't bring up Wang Canghai at this moment, because the vast majority of people didn't know Wang Canghai was still alive. Otherwise, Zhang Lin would have unhesitatingly used Wang Canghai as an example.

Because Wang Canghai's contest with him had fallen into exactly that kind of indecision, so the other side kept making corresponding choices nonstop, thinking about which choice was most beneficial to himself. Yet at every step, the time he spent acting was always less than the time he spent choosing.

This was absolutely a very tragic thing. From the perspective of an opponent, Zhang Lin believed that the other side choosing in this way was simply giving him too many opportunities. Of course, Wu Tianzhen of Archaeology Team One was now carrying the same mindset, and for Zhang Lin that was definitely not good news.

Looking back at Archaeology Team One at this moment, Fatty didn't bother with any of that. One-third of a second later, he pressed the button, and a muffled boom rang out.

Although they needed to blast open a gap, the amount of explosives used here certainly couldn't produce visible fire or that kind of bang—that would be pure suicide!

Anyone who knew the slightest bit about explosives would never do that. Based on this, they naturally kept the dosage within the most reasonable Fan Chou.

The instant the explosion happened, everyone held their breath and focused.

Wang Cang didn't look at the two people from Archaeology Team One. He looked at the one under him who was in charge of blasting. The three of them had discussed it thoroughly, so the answer now should be very clear. The man under him nodded heavily—definitely no problem.

And then the very next moment, a rumbling roar came from above. This roar was intermittent—very faint at first, then slowly growing louder. The more it was like this, the more pressure it brought.

Everyone drew in a sharp breath. They all knew very clearly that this sound represented only one thing—the avalanche had really come.

And the choices they could make were very few. At this moment, it was still Wu Tianzhen who hurriedly lowered his voice and said: "Everyone, stop talking!"
