100. Beautiful Wishes (Part 1)

  No matter how much Du Zexin de, reag his position as a male undoubtedly made him a sed-geion official.

  His arrival surprised Doctor Anna, because unless it was something very important, retives of these officials would not personally leave the political ter of Twin Star City.

  More importantly, he called her 'professor.'

  She hadn't mentiohe professor's death, but Frost-Pted not only knew about it, but also specifically sent Du Zexin to vey their gratutions on her new position.

  She specuted that this was Frost-Pted's way of sending a message:

  We only need an Abyss Humanitarian that tihe research; who leads Abyss Humanitarian is not important.

  Her heart tightened and then rexed.

  The tension came from knowing that her actal killing of the professor was known by Frost-Pted's rulers, indig that Abyss Humanitarian was not private or secure, and someone might already be the president's eyes watg her.

  But this wasn't worth fearing; the pany aerprises always had to follow the gover's orders.

  On the trary, Frost-Pted's attitude indicated their reition of Abyss Humanitarian. They didn't care about internal power struggles, as long as research results were provided, Frost-Pted would tiheir support.

  'Do you see, professor? This is the real world. You were immersed in the world of sce for too long and fot that people live iy!'

  Anna's thoughts ed:

  'You took the wrong path, professor. Abyss Humanitarian only tinue in my hands. Since we've already used so many human lives for experiments, why 't we push the boundary a little further?'

  'Although sce is people-oriented, some seed capital more.'

  'I will prove all of this. Without the Camity theory, the ercialization path of Abyss Humanitarian will be smoother. Frost-Pted needs not humanity but Abyss Humanitarian.'

  The goal the professor could never achieve in his lifetime—developing Abyss Humanitarian inte-scale anization—would be easily achieved under her leadership.

  Du Zexin handed Anna a list, then turned and walked into the armored train. Only then did Anna notice how terrifying this armored beast was.

  Thick alloy panels protected the train tightly, each carriage had six autonomous ons, and the front bore a red emblem of crossed hammer and wrench, symbolizing the Metro Brotherhood's reverence for teology and industry.

  This was an armored beast marked with numerous traces of the old era, trailing a 480mm train gun, fierd brutal, capable of evoking innate fear of war in any ordinary person.

  Before Du Zexin boarded, a man and a woman desded from the train. They wore thick leather jackets and meical exoskeletons, their cold appearances and pale skin indig their in from the ions.

  The man, the train driver, had a face like dark clouds, puffing a pipe, looked at Du Zexin coldly and said:

  "Frost-Pted people, you have 20 minutes. Not a seore."

  "Mr. Zhou Liefeng, didn't we agree on 50 minutes earlier?" Du Zexin frowned.

  "50 minutes was for normal transport, not for Abyss Humanitarian." Zhou Liefeng sneered, "If it weren't for the Brotherhood's cooperation agreement with you, you wouldn't even be qualified to step on this train."

  "Sihat's the case, shouldn't you honor the tract spirit..." Du Zexin's face darkened. It was obvious they were deliberately making things difficult.

  The materials brought by Law III were enormous; 20 minutes was far from enough to unload. To him, it seemed the Metro Brotherhood didn't want them to finish unloading at all.

  "No, no, you're wrong, sir. The tract states we bring you here, but we have the right to decide if we should bring you back safely if we enter danger."

  The female member of the Metro Brotherhood said with a smile:

  "I'm telling you now: there will be mutas attag the subway tracks ter. For your safety, 20 mio unload is the limit."

  "Serlia is right. This is for your safety." Zhou Liefeng squinted, adding mogly.

  Du Zexin was helpless.

  If it were anizations, with Frost-Pted's size, they would just crush through— but not with the Metro Brotherhood.

  As the rgest of the three majue anizations ier regions, with the most members and c a vast area, their mobilization and transport capabilities were very impressive.

  Frost-Pted, unlike Red Arrow and Zhengxu, had mediocre infrastructure. To quickly pee the ions, they had to rely oro Brotherhood's transport capabilities.

  This was a long-term project, and Frost-Pted wouldn't fall out with the Metro Brotherhood over this small matter.

  "I'll report this truthfully." He could only say this.

  "19 minutes," Zhou Liefeng said leisurely.

  "Yoing too far."

  "18 minutes," Serlia ughed, "What did you just say?"

  Du Zexin turned and started direg people to move the materials.

  Anna watched this se.

  'It seems this Frost-Pted sed-geion official is nothing special.' Anna thought, 'He looks too young, inexperienced in dealing with people, be drawn in.'

  Abyss Humanitarian, under her leadership, was to move towards ercialization. Therefore, having some es in the capital was beneficial. Any slight disturbance, and she could be informed in time.

  Having made up her mind, Anna approached Du Zexin, unsciously showing a smile identical to the professor's:

  "Is this your first time ier regions?"

  Du Zexin didn't respond to her.

  Anna wasn't annoyed, g the list and tablet, and casually brought up:

  "Abyss Humanitaria have a good reputation among the ions' people. They have many misuandings about our work."

  Du Zexin g her, his eyes momentarily filled with a 'are you serious?' look. If it weren't for his training, he would have ughed out loud.

  Saying the ions' people misuood Abyss Humanitarian's 'work' was like a capitalist g poverty, a bit self-deceiving.

  "You fool us, but don't fool yourself."

  Du Zexin said casually:

  "Your existence here is because Frost-Pted reizes Abyss Humanitarian. Don't waste taxpayers' hard-earned money."

  "Rest assured." Anna smiled, "The professor focused most of his efforts on the Camity Virus theory, which added a burden to Frost-Pted's people. I assure you and the Frost-Pted Republic behind you: Abyss Humanitarian's experiments will enhance Frost-Pted people's sense of security. And the greatest security es from strength."

  "I hope so." Du Zexin said ftly.

  Anna's words suddenly sparked his i.

  Although Frost-Pted knew Abyss Humanitarian ducted some unspeakable experiments, as it was uhe guise of humanitarianism, they could only apply military-grade Camity Armaments and psioniunication in practice.

  What else?

  Du Zexin's curiosity was uandable—after all, the materials and manpower he transported, just the various drugs alone weighed five tons, enough to support a local warlord.

  Anyone who had been to a researstitutiohat projects could easily bee a way for academibezzle funds and enrich themselves.

  But Abyss Humanitarian was different.

  Professor Anna only wanted materials, firearms, drugs, equipment, and manpower, without mentioning mo all.

  Even in Frost-Pted, such sincere researstitutions were rare.

  If it were only these two secret ons, the women in high pces in Frost-Pted wouldn't be so determio pay such a high price to support a researstitution.

  'Is this woman hiding some research projects? Or do the bigwigs value Abyss Humanitarian for other reasons?'

  Du Zexin olitiovice, but he had indeed worked his from the grassroots, quickly sensing something unusual about Abyss Humanitarian.

  While Anna was still figuring out how to build a retionship, Du Zexin suddenly said:

  "Time is tight. I want to take a brief tour of Abyss Humanitarian's enviro. Is that ve?"

  "Well..."

  Anna g the tablet. In the surveilnce footage, Li Aozi and his team had already reached the third underground level, starting to search for the entrao the subway station.

  That woman, Zexi, was really useless—Anna thought with a tsk, also puzzled—how was Li Aozi so powerful?

  Just as Du Zexin asked, Anna's mind shifted, deliberately asking:

  "May I ask—what tier are you?"

  Du Zexin g her, his gaze cold.

  "Abyss Humanitarian is g in bat power," Anna expined, "If you suddenly release your aura without warning, I'm afraid you might scare the nurses. It's best to give a heads-up..."

  Anna had a point. Superhumans usually didn't hide their strength, but hiding it would cause more trouble.

  Generally, Alpha tier (α, the first Greek letter) and above superhumans would notify when iing with ordinary people.

  "I'm a Beta tier 【Meic】 (β, the sed Greek letter)." Du Zexin said ftly, "Is that suffit?"
