Chapter 3184: My Heart Nearly Leapt Out of My Chest! And This Is What You Show Me?
Perhaps going berserk at a critical moment is also a way to solve problems, but using such a method only makes things more extreme, and unless absolutely necessary, Wu Tianzhen would absolutely never make this kind of choice.
Of course, this also has a decisive connection to Zhang Lin of the New Moon Restaurant. If it weren't for Zhang Lin, Wu Tianzhen might have gone all-in countless times during the underwater tomb earlier.
No one's luck can reach that level—perhaps making random choices in extreme environments can win once or twice, but absolutely not every single time. In the end, one still has to rely on one's own corresponding experience and courage to make that relatively correct choice; that is the proper way.
Other methods are merely the haphazard responses of those without ability.
The heavy snow fell, and everyone's hearts leapt into their throats. What everyone was actually thinking was that the instant this snow fell, it would surely present a state of absolute silence, leaving no room for anyone to react—they would all be buried by the snow.
And the chance the crowd thought they could climb out depended on the premise that the snow layer wasn't very thick; naturally they could dig their way out. After all, being in archaeology sometimes shares the same brilliance as tomb raiding—both are good at digging holes. Take the Wang family, for instance; their tomb-raiding tunnels are absolutely first-rate.
Even if the others on Archaeology Team One couldn't, the Wang family could definitely climb out of the snow safely, just like digging a tomb-raiding tunnel.
But this time they were completely overthinking it. The actual scene was literally all thunder and no rain, exactly as Wu Ya had predicted.
The instant the snow fell, it didn't even pass the corner of the nest. Very thin accumulated snow slid down from above, and when it finally ended, the piled height didn't even reach one meter. Even Wu Tianzhen found the scene somewhat between tears and laughter.
He couldn't help but step out directly, looked up to confirm, he really thought he was hallucinating—perhaps the rumbling sound from the beginning itself was fake.
And the bullet comments instantly exploded. Although the number of people watching the livestream was still relatively few, because the overall viewer count was at a high level, there were naturally many night owls.
【My god, it didn't actually trigger an avalanche?!】
【Are you blind? What is this if not an avalanche?】
【Have you ever seen an avalanche with so little accumulated snow? What a joke!】
【I think you just have bad intentions, you really hope the archaeology team gets into trouble, don't you?】
【Don't go putting labels on me here, I'm just talking about the facts, what nonsense are you spouting!】
【Agreed, this is really all thunder and no rain, I was already ready to start crying.】
【You bunch of people who haven't seen the world, this is perfectly normal. The accumulated snow on the mountaintop doesn't all come down at once. Do you know why Captain Wu made the silencing gesture earlier?】
【I know, because in that instant, if even one more sound had been made, the result might not be what it is now.】
There were still capable people among the bullet comments; they immediately realized the stakes involved, and at the same time couldn't respond as casually as before. What they were thinking at first was actually the same as Fatty, but their starting points were completely different.
They wanted to see Archaeology Team One make choices as quickly as Archaeology Team Two—even resting was fine—but they just didn't want to watch Wu Tianzhen agonize the whole way. Making a lateral comparison, they naturally felt Wu Tianzhen was far too inferior to Yang Lu Si, but this was also understandable.
Because Yang Lu Si could get more support, and this support didn't come from the officials, but precisely only from Zhang Lin. For Yang Lu Si, this was a uniquely advantageous edge.
The amount of accumulated snow caused Fatty to grin again, but Wu Tianzhen glared at him fiercely. At this point Wu Tianzhen also understood that the outcome wasn't on Fatty—after all, the dosage of the explosives was something the three of them had discussed, and under this premise, he couldn't pin all the responsibility on Fatty.
But what Wu Tianzhen showed now was the emotional intelligence a leader should have. The reason he did it without hesitation was very simple: he hoped to use Fatty to deflect the matter. After all, even if the Wang family didn't think much of it, the explosives expert on their Archaeology Team One would definitely blame himself.
Besides, Wang Cen might overthink things because of this, and that wasn't the result Wu Tianzhen wanted to see. Wu Tianzhen's suspicion of the Wang family had now decreased considerably. Although what just happened was a matter of life and death—because before it happened, no one could truly be one hundred percent certain about the area of accumulated snow—
So this also became an indirect test. The Wang family didn't pull any tricks. One must know that in that instant, as long as someone stood up and shouted loudly, the accumulated snow above would probably all come crashing down, burying everyone directly underground.
At that time, even those with strong combat ability could survive, but essentially, those professional personnel represented by Archaeology Team One would all be buried here.
Based on this point, Wu Tianzhen considered himself to have killed two birds with one stone, thereby solving a more important problem.
At this moment, Wang Cen looked deeply at Wu Tianzhen, while the other two actually wanted to step forward and admit their mistakes. After all, Fatty was the least knowledgeable about explosives among the three of them—relatively speaking, of course—and in the end, the final decision was still made by the two of them.
Under this premise, the person who thought they knew best and gave the first suggestion naturally had to step forward and take all the responsibility. This had always been the Wang family's habit.
At the same time, once the Wang family stepped forward, Archaeology Team One naturally couldn't show weakness, and in the end, the two sides could each take fifty lashes and call it even.
Unexpectedly, the one who ended up bearing all this was Fatty. Relying on his tacit understanding with Wu Tianzhen, naturally he wouldn't say anything and instead played it off with a laugh.
"Don't worry, the first dosage was indeed a bit large, but that was for the sake of testing. Everything is within Fatty's expectations."
Fatty's words were obviously nonsense—everything about "within expectations" and the like was just an excuse he made up.
Of course, this kind of subjective excuse wasn't for himself, but for the others, so relatively speaking, most people could accept it. Since that was the case, everyone naturally remained silent and accepted this explanation.
Even Wu Tianzhen shook his head. Of course, this action of his was also for others to see. In Wu Tianzhen's view, everything needed some explanation rather than muddling along like this.
