I'm the Villainess in the Apocalypse-Chapter 498. Rank 5

They all looked at each other, not answering the questions but instead simply stared. Usually, one would not notice other people’s strength without them using their ability. But for those who were strong enough, there were some kind of pressure that would be generated around them.

This would allow them to understand that the opponents in front of them were really strong.

"I think that I should be the one asking that question." Dylan stepped forward, letting Anna stayed behind him.

The man looked at the two of them and thought that he wouldn’t be able to beat the two of them anyway. It wouldn’t do them any good to go into a fight.

Besides...

Looking at the extremely large mutated animal’s corpse behind the couple, he could guess one or two things from them. One was that these two people were definitely the two people who defeated the extremely large mutated animal not long ago.

He was asked to come here to take a look at the extremely large mutated animal, but he had told them that he had no guarantee that he would be able to defeat the extremely large mutated animal. Even if he was one of the strongest few from his family, he was not that strong to the point of overlooking the world.

So he only planned to take a look.

Who would have thought that the extremely large mutated animal has been defeated by others when he came here?

"I’m Aaron," the young man said. "I come from City D Base." freewёbnoνel.com

City D Base.

Anna glanced at the extremely large mutated animal’s corpse behind her and seemed to understand why Aaron was here. He was estimated to be the person the officials from City D Base sent to deal with the extremely large mutated animal.

"You’re alone?" Dylan asked.

Aaron shrugged his hand. "It’s not like there’s anyone stronger than me. The extremely large mutated animal’s evaluation is rank 5 and I happen to reach rank 5 early not long ago, so they sent me."

Considering both Dylan and Anna were stronger than him, he didn’t think there would be any use hiding this kind of information. It would be better for him to just expose this fact and used it to gain friendship with these two.

Anyway, as long as they didn’t have any conflict with each other, no one was stupid enough to make enemies out of nowhere with so many big mutated animals in this period of time.

"Aaron?" Anna felt this name was familiar as if she had heard it before, but she didn’t remember where. Was there any of her classmates with this name? But even if there was one, they would be in City A Base rather than City D Base that was miles away from City A Base.

"I see." Dylan nodded.

His uncle said that the strongest from City D Base was only rank 4, but from Aaron’s words, he could guess that this young man should be the hole card that City D Base hide.

After all, if there were powerful awakened who could possibly deal with the extremely large mutated animal, the base might not want to expose it. What if these awakened were poached by other bases?

Then they wouldn’t know where to cry.

After all, some of these awakened simply didn’t have any ties to the base itself.

They had to use some other means to keep these awakened in their base. The example of those people who were leaving from City A Base some time ago was already a very good example.

They didn’t have much sense of belongings to City A Base, so they had no qualms leaving the base in the end.

Though, the ending was not good.

After all, they underestimated the big mutated animals out there and tried to travel such a long distance. These big mutated animals were naturally not going to leave the prey that appeared in front of them and targeted these people who came out.

The prolonged battle ended in their loss.

And the officials in City A Base could do nothing about it.

It was their decision, so they had to be ready to face the consequences.

"You two are from City A Base?" Aaron asked, looking at these two people carefully. Internally, he clicked his tongue and felt that those old fogey really knew how to hide themselves.

There should be more powerful people in each base whom they didn’t report.

In order to make sure that they were able to live well and still had a hole card against the big mutated animals and other bases, they covered up the information.

Oh well.

It didn’t matter.

His own base also hid the fact that he had reached rank 5 in order to give surprise to some people in the future.

After all, aside from the threat of these big mutated animals, there were also the threat from fellow human beings.

It was annoying, but it was also the truth.

Aaron understood this very well, so he didn’t care about what his base decided.

"Yes." Dylan nodded. "I’m Dylan and this is Anna."

Anna nodded at Aaron.

"Anna?" Aaron looked at Anna with a strange expression and then shook his head.

"Do I know you?" Anna asked in confusion.

"Ah, no, my cousin’s name is Anna, so I subconsciously thought about her," Aaron replied.

Cousin?

Anna blinked her eyes and then recalled that her mother’s family seemed to be in City D or somewhere near there. She didn’t pay that much attention when her mother mentioned it back then because she had no intention to go to them.

Even if she couldn’t face her annoying father, she didn’t plan to ask for help from the people whom she had never met either.

"Uhm, Aaron River?" Anna asked tentatively.

Aaron’s eyes widened. "You missed my middle name, but that’s my last name.... Anna Williams?"

Anna was speechless.

Aaron was speechless.

Dylan was also speechless.

So it turned out that they could also meet with relatives at such a place?
