Recalling what he had seen before, Chen Ziyan was suddenly filled with confusion.

If he remembered correctly, many people had jumped off the wrecked ships when they were facing the bombardment not long ago.

Now he was told that there were still other people left on the ship, which really surprised Chen Ziyan.

Especially the current situation is even more dangerous than before. No one can guarantee that those ships will not suddenly fall into the whirlpool.

Unless... there is some reason that I don't know about that requires the people from the Administration to stay on the ship.

Thinking of this possibility, Chen Ziyan's eyes became profound.

What could be the reason that could make the people in the Administration disregard their own safety?

Feeling the change in Chen Ziyan's eyes, the man knew he had to confess something.

But this is exactly what he wanted.

In fact, when he was in the water, he had already thought of asking for help, because the severity of the situation was beyond their expectations. It would be difficult to complete the task with the remaining manpower alone, so he wanted to rely on the help of Chen Ziyan and others.

After all, since setting out to sea, both they and the other teams have suffered heavy losses due to various accidents, except Chen Ziyan and his group, who were safe and sound.

This undoubtedly reveals a lot.

So the next moment I heard the man say: "It's those ships. We want to use the ships as a vehicle to enter the ancient ruins on the seabed."

Chen Ziyan immediately grasped the key point: "If that's the case, then you already knew what would happen here? And you also knew what was on the seabed?"

This answer was somewhat beyond his expectations, so much so that he subconsciously ignored the other party's excessive "frankness".

"I know a little bit. In addition to secretly helping Master Chen and you, the mission our team has received is to explore the ancient ruins on the seabed." The man nodded.

But what no one knew was that he had reversed the order of the tasks.

Secretly helping Chen Ziyan and the others was just a side job; their real goal of this trip was the underwater ruins.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be the only one here.

"What period do the underwater ruins belong to?" Hu Bayi suddenly asked.

When they were at the bottom of the sea just now, they had no time and energy to explore, so he was always confused. Now that he saw someone knew the inside story, he couldn't help but ask.

"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be from the Shang and Zhou dynasties," said the man.

From the speed with which he responded, it was clear that this answer had already been confirmed.

"Shang and Zhou?" Hu Bayi fell into thought.

Seeing him like this, Wang Kaixuan couldn't help but remind him: "Old Hu, don't act rashly. Shang Zhou's stuff is not worth the risk!"

As a bystander, he had already seen that the man had ulterior motives. Seeing that Hu Bayi was interested in this matter, he immediately planned to dispel his idea at the first opportunity.

If they were on their own, they might be able to do something, but if they were to work with the people from the Administration, there would be no chance of doing so.

He didn't want to do such a thankless and dangerous task.

Chen Ziyan also reacted at this time, and then said: "It's really not worth it."

Others may not know what they will encounter if they get involved in this matter, but how could he, who knows the plot, not know?

There are more than just deep-sea giant snakes at the bottom of the sea, and more dangerous things have not yet come out. Hearing Chen Ziyan say this, the man suddenly became anxious. He knew that Chen Ziyan was the leader of this group of people. If even he didn't want to get involved in this, then his idea would never be realized.

However, he did not show it on the surface, but instead glanced at Hu Bayi, who looked hesitant.

Hu Bayi actually knew this truth, but he had a vague premonition that the ruins on the seabed should not be easily missed.

But a premonition is something that is hard to convince myself of, let alone use as an excuse.

After thinking for a while, Hu Bayi threw the question back to the man: "Give us a reason to take action. I believe you are definitely not here to explore the ruins."

He couldn't think of any suitable words to say, so he just blurted it out.

Since the person in front of them wants to arouse their interest, they might as well ask him for a reason.

As for the reason of exploring the ruins, Hu Bayi didn't believe even a single punctuation mark.

He knew what the responsibilities of the Administration were, and they probably wouldn't even touch any serious archaeological tasks.

After hearing what Hu Bayi said, the man hesitated.

He knew that his intentions could not be hidden from these old hands, but he never intended to deceive Chen Ziyan and others in front of him. His real purpose was to arouse their curiosity.

As someone who often deals with these underground workers, he knows very well how curious these people are.

Once you are hooked, it is beyond description.

But he didn't intend to tell the real truth because it involved a confidential matter of the Administration.

But now the man was a little hesitant, because he had realized that if he didn't take out some hard stuff, he would not be able to achieve his goal.

The only person who is really interested now is Hu Bayi, but it is obvious that he cannot represent others.

This is why Hu Bayi made it clear. He was telling the man that his little thoughts had been seen through, and if he wanted to achieve his goal, he had to come up with something attractive first.

The man who was lost in thought did not notice that Chen Ziyan opposite him was looking at him with an inquiring look.

The reason why Chen Ziyan looked at him like this was because the man's words and behavior gave him a very abrupt sense of disharmony.

In other words, it's a bit too rough.

Among the people present, he could be said to be the one who dealt with the Administration the most, so he knew very well how the people in the Administration did things.

The feeling that this person in front of him gave him was not that he was different from the people in the Management Bureau that he had met before, but that there were limited similarities.

Not only was the strategy full of mistakes and omissions, but there was not even a bit of quick wit to deal with the situation.

Most importantly, what he talked about was completely inconsistent with the identity he presented.

It stands to reason that someone who knows so much inside information and can take the initiative to tell them must have a high status in the team.

But how could such a person take the initiative to monitor them?

Although the man did not say it explicitly, Chen Ziyan could tell that their main target was the underwater ruins, so he was the only one sent here.

Such a task would obviously not be assigned to the leader of the team, so there was an obvious contradiction between the two. In addition, this person's performance was very poor, so Chen Ziyan couldn't help but have some doubts.

He now seriously doubted whether the man in front of him was from the Administration! (End of this chapter)
