Chapter 913: One hundred percent unable to pass?

~7 min read 1,340 words

Zhang Lin's estimation was correct; at a glance, Zhao Young Master's weight couldn't possibly exceed one hundred and twenty jin—he was thin and gaunt—whereas everyone else was quite heavy, even Xu Lang weighing over one hundred and forty jin.

Given this premise, he was the only one suitable!

No one asked for details regarding this weight or how exactly Zhang Lin had calculated the gravity mechanism, because they felt it wasn't important.

As long as Zhang Lin could see it, it was undeniably real; not a single person would even raise the slightest doubt.

Zhang Lin had previously explained things like the Luo Pan mechanisms to them, and they understood that they couldn't comprehend it at all, so they felt that asking was not as good as carefully observing how much room reality would give them to walk out of here.

The final mechanism was indeed not simple, even though Zhang Lin had said that as soon as the first key was removed, the entire suspension bridge would collapse.

However, there would still be a time lag; Yang Lu did not need Zhang Lin to tell her this, as she could guess it herself.

What they needed to utilize was not just the remaining three minutes, but the impact caused by this time lag to complete what followed.

Among the three, it was certain that Yang Lu would be the first to act, and then they would see when Shen Qiong needed to move based on the specific situation.

Yang Lu would have to be the first to run over at that moment, and what she would strive for was those three to five seconds; as long as she could, she would be able to run an extra dozen meters or so.

Under this premise, the chance of survival would be even greater!

Yang Lu had already roughly calculated in her heart that when the group quickly passed the first marker, after they ran onto that intersection and reached the opposite side following the correct route, they would have at most a minute and a half left.

In this situation, she had to run over four hundred meters, and it was a distance that required constant maneuvering.

Only by joining forces could the three of them get out together.

Right now, the time had to be calculated with extreme precision; Zhang Lin did not do this for them, also understanding that Yang Lu would certainly be able to take it into account, not to mention doing everything thoroughly.

At the very least, in such a critical moment, they would not continue to procrastinate.

Moreover, Yang Lu did not have such a habit anyway.

And upon hearing that this decision was made by Zhang Lin, no one raised any further objections.

Except for Yang Lu, they all looked at Zhao Young Master in unison. At this moment, Wang Kaixuan suddenly asked: "Zhao Young Master, can you tell me why you suddenly stepped forward to make such a decision? You should know that Mr. Zhang didn't say you were destined to be that third person just now."

Hearing this question, Zhao Young Master let out a sigh and immediately said: "Wang Kaixuan, actually, I didn't think much at all. In that situation at the time, I just wanted to prove myself, and having walked this path, I also understand that the chance of us surviving is really small."

Upon hearing this, Wang Kaixuan was immediately about to strike him, but in the end, even though Yang Lu did not stop him in time, he held back.

Because even if Zhao Young Master suffered a minor injury now, it would have a profound impact on what they needed to do later.

Even though Wang Kaixuan was furious, he told himself in his heart that he absolutely could not do that!

But this did not prevent Wang Kaixuan from saying some harsh words. He pointed at Zhao Young Master's nose and cursed angrily: "You damn bastard! If you say such defeatist nonsense again, I definitely won't let you off!"

Zhao Young Master shook his head helplessly. At this moment, he had indeed undergone a change in personality; in fact, this was also because, having walked this path, various kinds of dangers had caused his nerves to collapse time and time again.

Amidst countless collapses, one would only go to two extremes: either go insane, or face reality calmly and become incredibly depressed.

The current Zhao Young Master could be said to be another Xu Lang, but their despondency was not the same.

Xu Lang himself was full of confidence in the road ahead, but had no confidence in his own condition.

But what Zhao Young Master thought was that the chance of all of them surviving was likely not great; these two different outcomes led to different choices.

Xu Lang did not say a word to fight for that third spot, also because he felt that the changes brought about by his body would very likely lead to the failure of the mission, ultimately affecting everyone.

After everything was ready, Yang Lu gave them ten minutes to familiarize themselves with the route, and this was also to use these ten minutes to see if there were any new developments from Zhang Lin at the Crescent Hotel.

With no further questions, once everyone memorized the route, they could begin their action.

Everyone in the Second Archaeological Team was preparing, and inside the Crescent Hotel, they could not remain silent forever.

Zhang Lin had two choices: one was to let everyone rest for another ten minutes, and the other was to introduce a new topic, or have someone ask a question for him to answer accordingly.

But introducing a new topic at this time would carry the suspicion of spoilers; if no one asked, Zhang Lin would simply rest for another ten minutes.

But just at this moment, someone suddenly raised their hand and asked: "Mr. Zhang, actually, the Second Archaeological Team only has a minute and a half left. On this basis, can they really run such a long distance?"

Everything was arranged by Zhang Lin and guided by Zhang Lin, and according to everyone's understanding of Zhang Lin, as long as he still maintained this calm and composed expression, it meant that the success rate of the Second Archaeological Team was definitely over eighty percent.

This was exactly the same as before!

But the problem was that they had calculated the detailed time and felt it was not particularly optimistic.

Right now, this suspension bridge, according to Zhang Lin, carried three mechanisms, all left behind by Wang Canghai.

It was just to create massive trouble for those who came later.

And upon hearing this question, the corners of Zhang Lin's mouth curled into a smile; in fact, only he understood that the key point lay with Yang Lu and Shen Qiong.

The hardest part was Yang Lu, and she certainly couldn't use this time to run down the suspension bridge!

Immediately, Zhang Lin said without hesitation: "Actually, as the leader of the Mountain-Moving Sect, Team Leader Yang naturally possesses her own unique skills. However, you are right; at the current point in time, she is one hundred percent unable to run to a safe place before the suspension bridge collapses."

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other; in fact, they naturally thought the same thing in their minds.

However, after Zhang Lin gave the answer, the reason they were puzzled was that since she couldn't run out, why could he still maintain this calm and composed state?

And upon hearing this, the netizens watching the live stream also became restless!

【Does Mr. Zhang have some hidden meaning?】

【He definitely does, otherwise how could he have this expression right now?】

【I feel like his understanding of Team Leader Yang is deeper than anyone else's.】

【What's so strange about that? After all, Team Leader Yang is the leader of the Mountain-Moving Sect; Mr. Zhang naturally has to know a bit more.】
