087. The Abyss may deteriorate, but it will never close down.
"It's bad! Doctor Anna!"
Anna, who was inspecting the Calamity Armament production equipment on the third underground floor, looked up at the pink-haired girl running towards her.
"You are... Zexi? How come you're on the third floor?"
Zexi was taken aback: "Doctor Anna, I am the logistics personnel you sent to maintain the third floor earlier, did you forget?"
"Did I... I've been too busy, might have overlooked it."
She only remembered that this was Zexi from the logistics department— the professor said she secretly sold some supplies to warlords outside for personal gain.
But in reality, such black market traders exist everywhere, so the professor always turned a blind eye.
Anna didn't want to be too strict either, since this girl already had a ready-made network, she was most suitable for sales and external trade.
"Don't worry, Zexi, what's the matter, speak slowly."
Her tone was gentle, unconsciously adopting a manner similar to her teacher's.
"Doctor Anna, that Level 5 infected— Li Aozi!"
"Now I am the professor." Anna said lightly.
Zexi choked, thinking to herself that this was not the time to care about such things.
Vanity, pure vanity.
No wonder she wasn't as popular as Nurse Nordley. If the professor hadn't suddenly been killed and Nordley seriously injured, it wouldn't be her turn to succeed.
"—Professor Anna." She said, "Earlier, you sent Li Aozi to retrieve the medicine and medical equipment and to rescue the abducted doctors... that guy is back."
"Is that so, that's good." Anna nodded.
That guy Li Aozi was treated seriously by the professor, reportedly a 'Level 5 Calamity Virus infected', a unique case.
But in Anna's view, he was just an ordinary person who got lucky, and the so-called 'infection symptoms' were just some mental illnesses.
As for those strange phenomena... they were at most signs of Omega awakening.
Anna had never been interested in the professor's "Calamity Virus infection" theory— every elementary school student knows that the diameter of atoms generally ranges from 0.1 to 0.5 nanometers, yet the professor stubbornly believed that the Calamity Virus was smaller than an atom.
This was simply unreasonable, a claim that violated the laws of nature...
Anna naturally believed that this was just a pretext the professor used to maintain her power and prestige in the Abyss Humanitarian Relief Organization.
Because Anna was that kind of person.
Regarding Li Aozi's power, Anna was dismissive. If it weren't for Nordley's accident, this Omega user could have been easily handled.
It would be better to find an excuse to use his gratitude towards the Abyss and send him away.
In this way, within the Abyss Humanitarian Shelter, she alone would enjoy the highest prestige and strength.
Now, Li Aozi was back, probably with substantial gains, further proving her wise decision.
Thinking about it this way, she might even thank that Li Aozi—
