Area 11. Machine City.
After reconnecting with Fang Cheng, Kanzaki Rin felt at ease and continued making preparations in an orderly fashion.
The important supplies and personnel had all been moved aboard the spaceship. The interns had also been vaccinated in batches, and once they had adjusted, they would become a powerful force.
