"Min Jinglan has confirmed her cooperation with us, willing to provide some conveniences for our future actions."

Sasa did not return directly to Crimson No.2, as it was late and there were no buses heading there.

She stayed overnight at Wang Lingyu's house, currently discussing the upcoming actions with Wu Zechuan.

[Great! Having the help of a committee member makes it much easier to eliminate the She Family!]

Even if Min Jinglan does nothing but watch from the sidelines, it can still apply pressure on the She Family.

The current United Government is essentially divided into cities, with each city's largest power structure being the 'Council.'

Each city's council consists of seven to fifteen members responsible for the city's governance, each wielding significant power.

For example, Min Jinglan, whose university major was in energy studies, is now in charge of the city's power supply system.

Of course, the management rights of the fusion reactor are not in her hands.

With a committee member joining them, this effectively boosts the confidence of other members in the cause to eliminate the Abyssal Believers.

The reason Min Jinglan decided to join was not due to Yan Luo's 'bribery,' but rather, she saw the potential in the spatial portal controlled by their alliance, leading to another world.

How much benefit could another world bring her?

Even Min Jinglan herself couldn't imagine!

Min Jinglan knows Yan Luo is someone unlikely to lie. The few times he has, it was to protect himself. Apart from that, Yan Luo is basically a 'real guy' who speaks his mind without any pretense.

So, Min Jinglan is willing to believe Yan Luo's words about truly controlling a spatial portal to another world.

Sasa has already given Wu Zechuan's contact information to Min Jinglan; the specifics of their cooperation will be handled by Wu Zechuan.

Wu Zechuan already bears many responsibilities, but he is eager to do so.

He has both money and power; if he wants, he can find any woman he desires, whether voluptuous or slender; carbon-based, silicon-based; male or androgynous.

Wu Zechuan now only lacks fame; he wants to go down in history.

Because of this, he is eager to take on more work to let future generations know the great achievements he made back then.

"Is there anything else I need to do?" Sasa asked Wu Zechuan.

Currently in Lingquan City, she could stay a few more days if Wu Zechuan had more tasks for her.

Sasa is now in a free state; Li Jiongming won't assign her any work unless she actively applies for it, in which case he would give her new research topics.

However, this doesn't mean that Li Jiongming dislikes her; he just hopes she will focus more on researching Yan Luo's physique.

Moreover, recently Yan Luo brought in some demon meat, which Sasa brought out from the Abyss, making Li Jiongming even happier.

Although Li Jiongming could tell that the meat was cut from an entire corpse, with obvious cut marks, he wouldn't concern himself with such details.

Attaining an entire demon corpse would be great, but having the cut-off meat is enough to support their research.

After all, it's free stuff; might as well take it.

Thanks to Yan Luo's 'sponsorship,' Sasa now has the liberty to allocate her time as she sees fit.

[There's nothing else needed for now; Ah Shan is still in Lingquan City. If anything comes up, I can let him handle it.]

With Wu Zechuan's response, Sasa slightly nodded. In this case, she could return to Crimson No.2 to continue her research.

Knock Knock!

Just after Sasa ended the call with Wu Zechuan, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

The door opened, and Wang Lingyu walked in.

Sasa was a bit surprised, "Lingyu, is there something you need?"

Wang Lingyu nodded and asked, "Senior Sister, I heard our department is preparing to move entirely to Crimson No.2, is that true?"

Sasa raised an eyebrow, as she did know some insider information about this.

With changes in the Abyss becoming more frequent, the personnel dispatched to Crimson No.2 by the Abyss Ecology Department were insufficient to support research on all the changes. Because of this, there had been discussions within Lingquan University about relocating all Abyss-related disciplines to Crimson No.2 to establish a semi-independent 'Abyss Academy.'

Previously, many teachers and board members opposed the move, but recently, for unknown reasons, their attitudes have softened considerably.

There is even a preliminary plan for the academy's relocation.

Although Li Jiongming is leading the group externally, he is a veteran of Lingquan University, having served as vice-principal before stepping down to focus solely on the Abyss Ecology Department's teaching.

On this matter, Li Jiongming and the teachers in the team have a say.

Moving the Abyss-related disciplines to Crimson No.2 might entail some risks, but compared to the potential benefits, those risks seem negligible.

Sasa nodded, "Indeed, this matter is being discussed, but we don't know when a decision will be made."

Preparing for the relocation of multiple disciplines certainly requires some advanced planning.

For instance, some students might not want to go to Crimson No.2 with us, so they might opt to stay in Lingquan City and take online courses, or they could request to transfer to another department.

But Wang Lingyu definitely wouldn't do that because she wants to go to Crimson No.2 to meet Yan Luo.

In the past, her mother would never have allowed her to go there.

But now, Crimson No.2, as the headquarters of the 'Anti-Abyss Believers Alliance,' is the safest place, with multiple Sequence Three Hunters near Sequence Two stationed there, making Abyssal Believers hesitant to act boldly.

"Thank you, Senior Sister!" Wang Lingyu said joyfully, expressing her gratitude to Sasa.

Just as Wang Lingyu was saying goodbye to Sasa and preparing to leave, Sasa suddenly called her back.

"Could you tell me about the time Yan Luo helped you and your mother? You must have started liking Yan Luo then, right?"

Wang Lingyu paused, hesitating slightly.

Then, Sasa dropped a bombshell that made Wang Lingyu decide firmly.

"Lingyu, did you know that there's a young lady at Crimson No.2 who also has a crush on Yan Luo?"

Wang Lingyu turned back to Sasa's bed, lay down on her side, and faced Sasa, "Senior Sister, let's have a late-night chat!"

Sasa chuckled secretly, cheerfully agreeing, "Sure!"

Although she felt a little sorry for Li Xinyue, there was no other way, as Wang Lingyu was also her friend.

And as a woman, she naturally had a penchant for gossip; Sasa was curious to see how Yan Luo would struggle between Wang Lingyu and Li Xinyue in the future.

Sasa and Wang Lingyu talked late into the night; eventually, Wang Lingyu simply stayed on the same bed.

The next day, when Sasa left, Wang Lingyu felt a bit reluctant.

Fortunately, in a few months, they might meet again at Crimson No.2, and the thought cheered Wang Lingyu up.

Sasa didn't take a bus but instead hitched a ride on a cargo truck owned by a company under the Retired Hunters' Pension Association, heading back to Crimson No.2.

Only a third of these trucks were actually transporting goods to the Abyss, officially registered as traveling through the Abyss to other places. In reality, they would meet with Yan Luo upon entering the Abyss and proceed together to the Elf World.

The remaining two-thirds were for transporting production equipment, aiming to establish production lines directly at Crimson No.2.

To bind everyone on Crimson No.2 to their cause, it was necessary to let them share in some benefits. This way, when they realized Wu Zechuan's group might be up to something unspeakable, they would keep their mouths shut.

Wu Zechuan didn't require them to keep a tight lip; after all, with over a hundred thousand people living on Crimson No.2, asking everyone to stay silent was impossible.

As long as they didn't stir up trouble, Wu Zechuan was willing to let some benefits trickle down through his fingers, letting them have their fill.

It was already afternoon by the time Sasa reached Crimson No.2.

Sasa got off the truck, said goodbye to the friendly truck driver, and was about to take a taxi back to her dormitory when she heard exclamations from the street.

Reacting to the sounds, Sasa instinctively looked up, only to see the originally blue sky gradually turning crimson.

A moon that shouldn't appear during the day obscured the sun, casting crimson moonlight onto the ground!

Gazing at the crimson moon, everyone stood there, stunned and speechless.
