I'm the Villainess in the Apocalypse-Chapter 557. Time Skip (2)

City A Base would not force Center Base to become part of them.

After all, the people in Center Base had also worked hard to maintain the base and made it a livable place. Even if there were some lacking, but it was still pretty good in overall.

Besides, the rest of the people who had no work then moved to City A Base and competed for various job opening.

The problem was that price increased.

These big mutated animals still appeared in large number and with the larger City A Base, they had to pay attention to larger area. Thus, there were more and more big mutated animals coming to an area not far from City A Base.

In order to make sure these big mutated animals would not attack them, they had to be killed first.

It would be too much for the military to manage such a large area.

And they also couldn’t afford to expand the military too much because the resources would be too large.

So the next strategy would be to post mission and used it in order to make sure that these people would be able to work hard and eliminate these big mutated animals. In any case, City A Base didn’t really care how they eliminated these big mutated animals as long as they could be killed.

The most important matter was the safety of City A Base.

Naturally, these missions also gave out reward such as contribution points and so on. The price for the liquid from the research institute has become higher and higher as the research institute also made the better one.

The price for these liquid has long been standardized with the other bases.

In this way, even if they went to another base, it would be more or less the same.

The people felt that it was really difficult for ordinary people to collect enough contribution points. But those awakened who had ability could make a team and then come out to hunt big mutated animals.

And with this method of missions, it then slowly opened for other people to post missions too.

This was called as private missions.

There were many restaurants opened in City A Base, but if they were only selling ordinary dishes, it would not be popular. After all, for those who were poor, they would rather go to the canteen and those who had some ability would rather buy those with higher concentration of dull powder. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

Only in this way could they become stronger.

Ordinary food slowly become extinct.

Or rather, people chose to abandon it and refused to eat it unless they were ordinary humans. Even then, these people would only pick it if these foods were cheap because they couldn’t afford the expensive ones.

Another matter that was worth mentioning was that not everyone could become an awakened.

It made many people disappointed.

After there were several cases of ’forceful awakened,’ many people really wanted to try to become an awakened and worked hard to collect enough contribution points. Their goal was naturally to buy the higher concentration liquid in order to become an awakened.

They wanted to try.

Even if there was the risk of death... they still wanted to try it.

Because only awakened could become powerful and possibly fight for their lives in this world.

Without them being an awakened, they would not be able to even survive.

This was what many people thought.

And as long as they saved enough contribution points, they would be able to buy the lower concentration of the liquid.

That was when they were hit with crueler reality.

Not everyone who used the concentration liquid would be an awakened. As it turned out, even some of them who didn’t die after using it would not become an awakened and instead remained as an ordinary person.

Some people thought that it was because the concentration was too low.

So they worked hard to buy another one.

But the cruel reality was in front of them.

Their body couldn’t contain the dull powder inside and digested it. Instead, the dull powder was then washed out of their body.

For researchers, this opened up a new path for research.

For many people, this cut off the path for them to become an awakened for their entire life.

Because it meant that they would never be able to awaken any ability in their entire life.

They could only watch as others become a powerful awakened while they remained as ordinary humans without the hope to become an awakened in the slightest bit.

This had caused many people to despair.

They thought that it was possible for them to become an awakened and become powerful.

But the fact presented to them was the complete opposite.

How could it not make them desperate?

They were sad.

They were angry.

But no matter what they were feeling, it could not change the fact.

And the research institute could only add another project on their table in order to figure out if there was a way for them to become an awakened.

Many people fell into despair.

But there were also many others who accepted it.

Many of those who were older didn’t have much ambitions left. They were already half a step to the death door, who would have thought about practicing and so on. These people also had no interest to go and fight those big mutated animals.

But those who were younger were desperate.

Many of them felt the unfairness of the world and wanted to become an awakened.

At the same time, they also understood that the normal means couldn’t be used by them and some of them who forcefully try to use the higher concentration of the liquid dull powder ended up dying.

It was miserable.

But for the sake of power, many people were still willing to try it.

Some people were unwilling but amongst so many people, there would definitely those who would be willing to take this risk.

Even if they knew they might die.

They would still take this chance.
