Chang Chi didn't care what they thought. He turned to Chang San beside him and said, "I'll take two people with me. You follow Lin Wu and the others."

These words made Han Yuesong's expressions even darker.

Chang San frowned and said, "No, you promised me before you came here that I would go with you. If you want to go that way, I will go with you."

Chang Chi shook his head firmly and refused, calling the two remaining members of the Huo family and was about to leave.

Chang San grabbed his arm and spoke in a colder voice, bringing out an invisible sense of oppression: "Chang Chi!"

The atmosphere suddenly became a little tense.

Chang Chi couldn't help but get annoyed, and was about to shake him off when Lin Wu's voice rang out, "Why are you in such a hurry to separate?"

Everyone paused and looked at Lin Wu.

Lin Wu said calmly: "We reached a cooperation agreement before we came here, and the first priority is to help the archaeological team find people. Now that we have clues, what's the point of going our separate ways? Besides, Chang Chi, don't forget what Deputy Captain Jian said, we still have to rely on him to get out."

"Damn that guy? Why?" Ren Ke asked suddenly.

Jian Chonghe and Professor Zhang, who were watching from the sidelines, became nervous, and Han Yuesong and Gao Zhouwen also frowned.

Lin Wu said: "He brought us in. Is there any problem with following him out?"

Ren Ke said "oh" in an ambiguous tone.

Chang Chi in front shook off Chang San, turned back to look at them, and said, "No need, life and death are determined by fate, and I accept that I can't get out. I don't care about it myself, so don't worry about it, Miss Lin.

"But you want to go separately, will others agree? We are all gathered together temporarily, and to be honest, we are worried about each other. If you want to go alone, I'm afraid people will be even more worried and will not agree." Lin Wu said slowly.

Gao Zhouwen then stepped forward and said, "This place is dangerous, it's better for us to be together, so that we can take care of each other if something happens."

"What do you mean by care? Are you guys taking care of me while I'm still a hindrance?" Chang Chi sneered unceremoniously, "I'm not one of your team members. What's the use of your disagreement? Do you need to care? Besides, it seems more dangerous to be with you guys, right?"

Wang Lin couldn't help but said, "How can you say that? We didn't hold you back! Besides, do we want to be in danger? We don't want to be with you!"

"It's OK if you don't want to be together." Chang Chi instructed the two people who followed him, and then said: "Everyone has their own purpose, so don't pretend. It's better to be apart here. If we meet again in the future, it's fate. It's not a problem to be together then."

After saying that, he turned around and led his men to leave first.

Chang San wanted to follow him, but he heard Chang Chi say coldly: "If you come over again, don't blame me for taking action. It's not that I can't do anything to you."

Chang San didn't listen and continued moving forward.

However, the next moment Chang Chi suddenly turned around and looked at him, and he seemed to be fixed in place, unable to move.

Chang Chi turned around and walked away quickly.

This scene fell on the eyes of others, and no one found anything unusual. Professor Zhang even shouted to Chang Chi: "It's safer to go together! Mr. Chang, Chang Chi!"

Han Yuesong frowned and asked Lin Wu directly, "Ms. Lin, what do you say?"

"Me? He is not my man. If he insists on leaving, can I stop him? Captain Han, your question is really weird." Lin Wu said calmly.

Jian Chonghe said worriedly, "But if he just goes there, what if something goes wrong? What if he accidentally triggers something and it affects us on the other side? We don't know what to do. If it conflicts with what we are going to do, won't it be very troublesome? I think we can't let Mr. Chang take such a risk."

Seeing that Chang Chi had already led his men to the edge of the pond and walked over from a small path on the side, he suggested, "How about this, Captain Han, Captain Gao, I go with them? That's good... well, I can take care of them."

Ren Ke on the side sneered, "Look after? That sounds very high-sounding, but it's still surveillance."

Jian Chonghe pushed up his glasses and said sternly, "Ms. Ren, please be careful with your words."

Gao Zhouwen shook his head and refused: "Let them go, you are carrying...it's not a good idea to take risks with them."

"It's worth it for the archaeological team. I'm not afraid." Jian Chonghe opened his bag, took out the lotus walking stick wrapped in cloth, and handed it to him, "Captain Gao, please keep it safe."

Then he zipped up his pants and walked towards Chang Chi and the other two resolutely.

Professor Zhang shouted, "Xiao Jian, it's really more dangerous for you to follow them. No one will protect you!"

Jian Chonghe waved his hands to indicate that everything was fine.

Qiu Mei hurriedly said, "Brother Luan, it's not possible. It's very risky to follow them..."

Luan Zhi interrupted her: "Besides my uncle, it was Deputy Captain Jian who took the best care of me. I should protect him even more, no matter what dangers he encounters."

He nodded to Gao Zhouwen and Han Yuesong, and quickly followed Jian Chonghe.

Luan Zhiben was not completely a member of the archaeological team, and Han Yuesong and the others couldn't control him, so they didn't say anything.

When Jian Chonghe turned around and saw Luan Zhi, he scolded him for his nonsense and then tacitly agreed.

After a while, the ordinary people walked to the other side of the lake. When they saw someone following them, they cursed impatiently and didn't want them to follow.

But Jian Chonghe tried to persuade Chang Chi in various ways, but Chang Chi became annoyed by his nagging and turned around and left without looking back, leading his men into the cave.

Jian Chonghe and Luan Zhi really followed them, but Chang Chi didn't seem to care about their lives.

They walked quickly, and the atmosphere among the remaining people became even more tense.

Lin Wu exchanged glances with Bai Jing and Bo Ning and said, "Interesting, we've just reached a certain point and you're already parting ways. If we stay with you, wouldn't it seem like we're not as frank and honest as them, as if we're staring at you with ulterior motives?"

"Ms. Lin, what are you talking about? We have great trust in the character of Miss Lin and your friends, and we very much hope to continue working with you." Gao Zhouwen spoke immediately.

Professor Zhang had been saved by Lin Wu before, so he had a lot of trust in Lin Wu. He said hurriedly, "Yes, yes, it's safer with more people. Miss Lin, don't learn from them!"

"It's better to learn from them and separate. Who knows what their purpose will be when they come together and when they will take action." Qiu Mei and Wang Lin muttered.

"Did you hear that?" Lin Wu said with a smile.

Gao Zhouwen immediately scolded the two of them, "Shut up!"

Wang Lin and Qiu Mei lowered their heads in frustration.

Gao Zhouwen said, "Please don't blame me, Miss Lin. If they disrespect you again, I will punish them severely."

"Don't do that." Ren Ke looked at Wang Lin and Qiu Mei who dared to be angry but not to speak, and sneered: "If you punish them, they will definitely hold a grudge against us because they are narrow-minded. Why should we be with people who affect our mood like this? We are not kind people, and we may kill them at any time. Lin Wu, listen to me, separate."

"Ms. Lin!"

Han Yuesong and Gao Zhouwen both looked a little anxious.

Lin Wu glanced at Bai Jing.

Bai Jing stepped forward at the right time and said, "It is still necessary to go separately. There are three roads here, and it is not certain which one is safe and can be walked all the way. Separate and go one by one. If any road is not passable, just return in time to inform others."

"Yes, if any of the roads are dangerous, we should withdraw in time and take another one. If we take a new road, the people ahead will have explored the way in advance, and any problems should have been resolved first, so the people behind can walk more safely and smoothly." Bai Ning added slowly.

When Han Yuesong and the others heard this, they were immediately interested.

Lin Wu pulled the corner of his mouth, and finally said: "Well, I think you will not be at ease, so I will let Bai Jing and Bai Ning bring people to follow you and protect you. I will only bring Ren Ke, and -"

She looked at Chang San in front of her.

Han Yuesong and his companions finally felt relieved.

They all saw how close Lin Wu and Bai Jing were. With Bai Jing around, Lin Wu would never ignore her.

They said, "Okay, let's follow Miss Lin's."

Bai Jing looked at Lin Wu, raised his hand and patted her shoulder, "Be careful."

Lin Wu nodded and said meaningfully: "You too. Remember to take good care of Professor Zhang and the others, and don't let them get into any danger."

Bai Jing hummed in understanding.

Ren Ke rolled her eyes and said, "Moji, if someone doesn't know, I would think you are exchanging secret signals. Let's go, finish it sooner and leave sooner. I've had enough of staying here."
