Chapter 597

~8 min read 1,440 words

Everyone understood that even if Zhang Lin told them, they definitely wouldn't understand!

The knowledge involved here was too complex.

Now everyone was pursuing a result, an answer.

But they could only be clear about one point: all of this was entirely due to Zhang Lin's news.

After receiving this news, the official personnel didn't have any hesitation and directly transmitted it back to the archaeological team.

Hearing the information coming from the walkie-talkie, Yang Lusi was full of excitement.

She had long been completely convinced by this senior brother of hers, and even more so at this moment.

She wouldn't doubt his words at all, while Young Master Zhao narrowed his eyes at this time.

Regarding the compass Zhang Lin gave him, he still had a fresh memory of it.

He thought to himself that if it weren't for this compass, he wouldn't have attracted everyone's eye-rolls. Such thoughts had already been established in his bones.

But on second thought, since Zhang Lin said the compass could play a role, maybe he could try it too.

Just when everyone was waiting for the people above to send down the order diagram.

Young Master Zhao quietly climbed up, took out the compass he carried with him, and walked into the cell, looking at the direction the needle was rotating.

At this time, everyone was looking at the water surface, expecting that order diagram to be sent over quickly so they could open that door.

To see what kind of treasures and information were contained in this tomb.

And the live stream chat went crazy in an instant because someone noticed Young Master Zhao in the corner.

Seeing him enter the cell.

This wasn't the most important thing; he was also holding that compass in his hand. Now, both the members of the Second Archaeological Team and these netizens had reached a consensus.

It was fine that Young Master Zhao didn't use his brain when speaking, but when he picked up the compass, nothing good ever happened; who knows what kind of disaster he might bring to everyone.

【It's over, it's over. Look at Young Master Zhao, he entered the cell. Isn't he courting death?】

【Talking nonsense, why care about him? If he wants to die, let him go. Such a person is a scourge even while alive.】

【Didn't they say before that he's suitable to be cannon fodder? Now that he's willing to test the waters, let him go.】

【You all think of the problem too simply. Mr. Zhang said that if you try rashly, danger will definitely occur, and this kind of danger might not just be brought to him alone.】

At this time, everyone also understood that the reason Young Master Zhao took out the compass must be because he received the news from over there.

Chapter 287: Calling to Heaven and Earth for No Response! Hit Him!

Because Young Master Zhao also heard the news, he had the idea to try it.

【Miss Yang! Turn your head quickly, something happened again!】

【Damn, stop this stupid pig!】

【Can't stand it, holding a compass and starting to show off. Is this person a pig-brained?】

After the reminders in the chat before, those who were waiting to see Young Master Zhao die reacted one after another.

Knowing that Yang Lusi couldn't see these comments, they still couldn't stop reminding her.

It didn't matter if Young Master Zhao died alone, but if he brought danger to everyone, that would be a huge trouble.

The Second Archaeological Team being wiped out because of one brain-dead person wouldn't sound good if it got out.

Not to mention that even if it didn't affect the safety of these people, if he easily turned a certain cage without following the order given by Zhang Lin, it might lead to other things happening.

Under the premise of danger, it might trigger the self-destruct program of the tomb below in advance, and then all previous efforts would be wasted.

On the other side, Young Master Zhao, holding the compass, had already walked into the depths. He walked past every cage quietly.

Then, looking at the direction the compass needle changed, he suddenly felt he had grasped some kind of logic.

Because when passing each cage, the speed and direction of the needle's rotation were different.

At some cage positions, the needle even stopped directly.

Young Master Zhao's eyes lit up instantly, "I understand."

The order must be correct, that's it, Young Master Zhao thought to himself.

All crises come from self-righteousness; Young Master Zhao was just like that!

When no one was paying attention to him, he confirmed the order himself and then found the cage he thought should be turned first.

He put his hand on it and, without hesitation, used all his strength to turn it counter-clockwise.

Gada, gada...

One could clearly hear the sound of gears.

These cages hadn't been turned for who knows how many years, yet they hadn't rusted.

However, the sound was indeed a bit loud; this sound carried the traces of the passage of time.

Outside the door, Yang Lusi turned her head in astonishment, thinking that her senior brother's deduction shouldn't be wrong.

How could there be sound inside when they hadn't triggered the mechanism?

But when Yang Lusi's peripheral vision swept to the place where Young Master Zhao was lying just now, she found that the person was already gone.

Looking at the footprints on the ground, Yang Lusi's pupils shrank suddenly.

She walked quickly to the tomb chamber entrance; there was light inside.

It was precisely the light from Young Master Zhao's headlamp.

"Damn it!!!" Wang Kaixuan cursed loudly.

At this moment, the flashlights converged, and they saw Young Master Zhao manipulating one of the cages, turning it bit by bit.

No one present knew if the first cage Young Master Zhao turned was right or wrong.

Except for those watching the live stream and those present.

But one thing could be determined: even if it were right, Young Master Zhao definitely guessed it.

They had already obtained the confirmed answer, but this answer was still on the way.

So Young Master Zhao gambling like this was clearly courting death!

And he would implicate everyone in the crisis.

The audience in the live stream had their "heavenly eyes" open; they had already determined the answer.

After comparing it with the screenshots of the live stream footage just now, everyone gasped.

Young Master Zhao guessed wrong!!!

This cage was the second one that needed to be turned.

This also proved that a crisis was coming soon.

Yang Lusi naturally wouldn't take Young Master Zhao's answer as the final result of the game.

After Wang Kaixuan cursed, he was about to rush in to drag Young Master Zhao out, but at this moment, Yang Lusi pushed him away.

"Everyone, don't move."

After saying this, Yang Lusi dashed in herself.

She was still barefoot; the new shoes would be sent down along with the order diagram just now, but she couldn't care about that right now.

Yang Lusi ran over at the fastest speed. During the run, her ears moved slightly.

Her heart skipped a beat.

That was the sound of the sleeve-arrow mechanism.

Only hearing two "sou, sou" sounds, accompanied by a scream.

Just at this moment, Yang Lusi ran to Young Master Zhao, grabbed his neck, and dragged him while running backward.

At the moment of leaving, countless sleeve-arrows shot toward the original cage.

Sou, sou, sou, sou, the sleeve-arrows were as dense as rain.

The originally mottled bones had already been pierced into powder by the sleeve-arrows.

And Young Master Zhao was hit by two arrows on his lower leg, right on target.

He kept wailing. Those sleeve-arrows didn't seem to intend to let the two go, shooting all the way along the trajectory of their escape.

Whether it was those watching the live stream at the Crescent Hotel, those watching at home, or those at the entrance, their hearts were in their throats at this moment.

They knew that if Yang Lusi were even a step slower, she might have been shot into a sieve.

Most importantly, Yang Lusi wasn't just by herself; she was also dragging someone.

At this moment, the strength she used was even greater than the umbrella tip that pressed down like Mount Tai just now.

Was it compassion after all?

Even though this Young Master Zhao made such a stupid decision, she still pulled the other party out.

Because she had pushed her body to the limit during the brief time just now, Yang Lusi threw Young Master Zhao aside again.
