Lu Zixun, after bidding farewell to Lin Siyin, returned immediately to Demon Country.
At that moment, Demon Country was consolidating supplies, preparing to move to Zone 23, which had been thoroughly cleared by Sha Fei.
Walking among the crowd, Lu Zixun gazed at the happy smiles on the faces around him and took a deep breath.
For a moment, he felt somewhat bewildered.
Demon Country hadn’t revealed the real reason for leaving Zones 13 and 14.
Nevertheless, the citizens of Demon Country believed that the Human Gathering Place had recognized the Demon Clan; otherwise, how could they exchange four zones for two?
This was how misunderstandings were born.
And now was not the time to disclose the truth—perhaps they would never know the truth. At that time, if Demon Country really stood on the opposite side of humanity...
Lu Zixun didn’t know what kind of rhetoric would fill Demon Country.
Just as Lu Zixun intended to walk the streets before returning to Pan Building, a pair of leather shoes appeared in front of him.
Looking up, he saw a simple-looking man, likely of the Bull Clan, judging by his build.
He scratched the back of his head and smiled at Lu Zixun, "There have been quite a few humans entering Demon Country lately. If you’re not accompanied by family, you should be careful to avoid being taken away by humans."
Hearing this, Lu Zixun sighed inwardly and nodded in understanding.
However, it seemed the man was still worried. As he passed by Lu Zixun, he approached the Law Enforcement Team of Demon Country.
When the Law Enforcement Team saw that it was Lu Zixun, their lips twitched involuntarily.
Which human would dare capture Lord Xun? They must be tired of living.
Back in Pan Building, Lu Zixun saw Ling calculating the most cost-effective moving plan and suddenly a spark flashed in his eyes.
He looked up at the screen and softly asked, "Ling, do you think the ruins are suitable for living?"
"According to the data, it is feasible."
A massive amount of calculation data flashed on the computer screen, and after a while, Ling continued, "Although it is a ruin, it’s isolated from this world and capable of moving through the Void. If we don’t consider contact with the outside world, it’s suitable for living."
Taking a deep breath, Lu Zixun licked his front paw, "Are all ruins suitable for living?"
Ling’s chibi avatar appeared on the screen, shaking its little head, "According to my database, only large ruins are currently habitable, and not all large ruins are suitable. Much data analysis is required to confirm."
Pondering for a moment, Lu Zixun slightly squinted his eyes, seemingly knowing how to deal with the current situation.
Being able to move in the Void meant that these large ruins could be activated.
Demon Country could completely enter these ruins, becoming an existence hidden from the world.
Lu Zixun’s wild idea had inadvertently solved a significant problem.
He didn’t want to be the Witch Cat King, he just didn’t want Demon Country, a nation with kind intentions towards humanity, to eventually become bitterly hateful towards humans.
He called Ge Changming and instructed him to investigate the large ruins first, then Lu Zixun also informed him about Sha Fei’s questionable aspects regarding this plan.
Hearing this, Ge Changming remained silent for a long while before speaking, "Humans have never thought about making us underground allies. Once we stand against humanity, the agreements made now will be voided when the time comes."
"I don’t want to see this happen, we can pause the resource consolidation and moving," Lu Zixun said, lifting a paw to his face and sighing.
"For now, nothing will lead to an immediate war outbreak. During this time, we should focus on finding inhabitable large ruins."
Ge Changming nodded in understanding.
Lu Zixun sighed deeply, "I hope we can find a way to move the ruins in the Void this time, otherwise, even if we enter the ruins, we will inevitably be dragged into war."
Demon Country wasn’t afraid of war, but a war that was entirely meaningless,
A war just for internal consumption, Lu Zixun found utterly foolish.
"The pressure from Sha Fei is coming. Now, if Zhenfei wants to preserve itself, it can only join the integration,"
Gu Beihan’s aide sighed, somewhat helplessly reporting to Gu Beihan.
Based on the circumstances, Gu Beihan, who had anticipated this, waved his hand in acknowledgment, "How much power can Zhenfei still mobilize now?"
Gu Beihan had initially hoped to strike first, but now felt cornered by Sha Fei’s swift reaction.
Such rapid response gave Gu Beihan a bizarre thought.
It seemed as if Sha Fei had known from the beginning that the Insect Clan would disappear from the Crimson Land.
"Now we can only mobilize the forces from three zones, including the Three Prefectures, that makes four."
The aide sighed, "But now the Three Prefectures are each in its own predicament and likely won’t intervene."
"That can’t be said, if the Three Prefectures decide to push the Genetic Optimization Formula, they will never integrate with Sha Fei unless..."
Crossing his hands on the table, Gu Beihan’s expression turned serious, "Unless Sha Fei agrees."
"Sha Fei is unlikely to agree, or they wouldn’t have been silent on Night Talk..."
The aide suddenly fell silent mid-sentence.
Back then on the Night Language Forum, when the incident between the Hopeful People and the Micro-citizens broke out, it seemed Shai Fei hadn’t made any statements.
At that time, it appeared that Sha Fei was unwilling to meddle in their covert struggle with Demon Country.
Looking at it now, Sha Fei’s attitude seemed more like a test and observation.
If that’s the case, then Sha Fei... has played a big game.
"Now, who is the leading voice in Sha Fei, someone from the Yang Family or who?"
Not dwelling too deeply on this issue, Gu Beihan changed his line of questioning.
"It’s not someone from the Yang Family; the main authority in Sha Fei still rests with the Elder Council."
Hearing this, Gu Beihan let out a wry smile, shaking his head with a scoff, "What a clever ploy, the Elder Council, these old beasts, used me as their pawn for so long."
Now encountering the realization, Gu Beihan slumped into the sofa, looking deeply affected.
It was normal for Lu Zixun not to have noticed.
After all, the documents showed that Lu Zixun’s mental maturity was at most that of a 22-year-old young man.
But for Gu Beihan not to have noticed only meant that the Elder Council had hidden too well.
Within the entire Crimson Land, there was no trace of them.
But in every event, their maneuvering was evident.
