Chapter 593

The others who had retreated had no intention of pulling Young Master Zhao out; after all, he was already a pariah to the Second Archaeological Team.

Everyone looked at Yang Lusi with expressions of concern.

"Team Leader Yang?" Hu Bayi called out softly.

Yang Lusi scanned the surroundings and raised her hand, "You don't need to worry about me. No one is allowed to enter without my command."

Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan sighed, looked at each other, and saw a hint of helplessness and self-reproach in each other's eyes.

Even without an explanation, they understood why Yang Lusi said this: there might be danger inside.

Yet, as members of the archaeological team, they couldn't help with anything at the moment.

Young Master Zhao didn't take it seriously and ignored Yang Lusi's warning.

He walked up to Yang Lusi with a carefree, beaming face and said, "Team Leader Yang, that move of yours just now was so magnificent. Can you teach it to me?"

"It didn't look like it had much power, yet the entire cell shook along with it. With that kind of strength, I'm afraid even an elephant's head would be easily smashed through if it were in front of you."

Young Master Zhao's intention was to ease the relationship by flattering Yang Lusi.

After all, he still had to follow the archaeological team all the way; they hadn't even reached the heart of the desert yet, and there were already all kinds of dangers, so he had to cling to Yang Lusi's coattails.

If this strongest team leader stopped caring about him, then continuing forward might truly be courting death.

Facts proved that Young Master Zhao's words were ill-timed.

【Is this Young Master Zhao sick? Didn't he see that everyone was acting like they were facing a formidable enemy?】

【He probably thinks he's very humorous and wants to lighten the atmosphere.】

【This isn't humor; it's clearly brain-dead. He just did one good deed, and now he's ruining his reputation.】

【His skin is thick enough, I'm truly impressed!】

【Everyone, stop bashing him. After all, he's a second-generation heir who was spoiled by his family.】

【Then he should stay home honestly; why come here to join the fun?】

【Exactly, who has the time to play house with him? It's like he's here on a spring outing.】

Yang Lusi was indeed furious, and this time she didn't bother with Young Master Zhao.

She grabbed his collar with a backhand motion. Young Master Zhao was stunned and didn't react at all; his whole body lost its balance and was dragged outward just like that.

It had the visual effect of dragging a dead dog.

Regardless, Yang Lusi came out and threw Young Master Zhao onto the ground.

She then turned around, intending to return to the cell; after all, the matter hadn't been figured out yet.

The others, having calmed down, finally reacted, and Hu Bayi blocked Yang Lusi's path directly.

"Team Leader Yang, I have an immature suggestion."

"Speak."

"Why don't we wait for news from Mr. Zhang's side? Let's not act rashly."

Yang Lusi's expression darkened, and she sighed. She had to admit that Hu Bayi's suggestion was very good.

In the end, she still had to rely on her senior brother.

At this moment, Yang Lusi didn't insist on saving face; she pondered for a moment and nodded slowly.

Seeing this, Hu Bayi breathed a sigh of relief and asked softly, "Team Leader Yang, did you notice anything wrong just now? Is there some other mechanism in this tomb chamber?"

He had thought about it seriously just now and truly felt that what happened just then didn't make logical sense.

If it were said that Yang Lusi alone caused that kind of vibration, it was indeed quite unlikely.

Young Master Zhao was thrown on the ground like a dead dog, while Yang Lusi looked intently into that doorway without answering Hu Bayi's question.

She was just waiting quietly to see if there were any strange changes inside, or if the official side had obtained any news from the storytelling hall.

【Is Leader Yang being a bit too paranoid? I don't see any reaction.】

【What do you know? This is underground; every step must be cautious. No one knows whether the next second or an accident will arrive first.】

【If everyone were like Young Master Zhao, they would have died out long ago. If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. The person above is right.】

【Team Leader Yang is clearly afraid of implicating others. With her skills, these mechanisms certainly count for nothing.】

The live stream chat was chattering away, with everyone expressing their own subjective opinions.

Looking at Zhang Lin in the Crescent Hotel, he was also lost in deep thought.

As the saying goes, when things are abnormal, there must be demons. He was recalling the situation of the cage positions in the cell; it must have something to do with these things.

Seeing Zhang Lin fall silent, everyone didn't know whether they should speak for a while.

Yang Lusi's reaction meant nothing to them, but once Zhang Lin fell silent, it meant there were indeed some unpredictable things involved.

After a long while, Zhang Lin suddenly smiled and nodded slowly.

The listeners' eyes lit up, and they hurriedly asked, "Mr. Zhang, have you understood this mechanism? Tell us about it."

"That's right, Mr. Zhang, stop keeping us in suspense. Tell us quickly."

Zhang Lin looked around, smiled slightly at everyone's expectant and puzzled expressions.

"I won't say it this time. You can guess. Regarding this mechanism, it was actually mentioned before; the method to crack it lies within."

Someone couldn't help but scratch their head and said shyly, "Mr. Zhang, aren't you making things difficult for us? We don't understand tomb burial matters."

These people were, after all, just listeners. Many things were just for fun; they knew the general meaning, but if they were asked to deduce it, it was truly a bit difficult for them.

The saying "long-term illness makes a good doctor" might not apply in this line of work. It would be fine if they were tomb-raiding, but they were just watching a live stream.

"I didn't ask you to state the specific method. I said the answer is in the previous part. As long as you can say that keyword, there is a reward."

Zhang Lin simply turned it into an interactive quiz.

Hearing the word "reward," the audience's eyes lit up, even those who were not short of money.

After all, it was just for fun, and they couldn't miss such an interaction.

A pretty girl at a tea table in the middle row raised her hand and said loudly, "Mr. Zhang, what's the reward? If I guess correctly, can you go on a date with me?"

"Ooh—"

A group of men started to jeer at this moment.

"I think it's a deal."

"Hehe, Mr. Zhang, are you looking for a girlfriend?"

Many girls in the venue started to get eager.

The live stream chat, however, was full of sarcasm.

【Looking like that, with a face full of high-tech, how can she have the nerve to say that.】

【I'm truly speechless, wuwuwu!】

【Unfair, since it's a quiz, why don't we have a chance?】

【Upvoted, if I could go on a date with Mr. Zhang, I would also participate in the quiz, wuwuwu!】
