I'm the Villainess in the Apocalypse-Chapter 565. Unwanted Encounter (2)

The familiar name triggered his long buried memory.

How many years has it passed ever since they all gathered together and all?

In the past year, everyone was working hard for themselves, trying to survive and made sure that they were able to do everything by themselves.

But it was only now they realized that it was far from easy.

These big mutated animals prevented them from doing anything reckless because those who dared to challenge these big mutated animals might die without any burial place. Only if they were strong enough to challenge these big mutated animals would it be possible for them to survive.

And among these people, Jake has been trying to survive hard.

He signed with the Davis Family back then, gaining some advantage in order to be able to hunt these big mutated animals out there.

But when the Davis Family fell, he was implicated.

Most of his contribution points were taken away and Jake could only work hard in order to get back the contribution points and go out to hunt these big mutated animals again.

But this time, things were far from easy.

Previously, everyone gathered because they were all signed to the Davis Family and had received enough supplies that would allow them to grow stronger and had weapons. But after the Davis Family’s fall, their weapons were all confiscated and then their contribution points were deducted.

Many of them even had negative balance and had to pay the debt within a period of time.

Some of the desperate ones try to go out and hunt those big mutated animals again, but without proper weapon and equipment this time, many of them couldn’t survive.

It was a bloody road.

In the end, many of these people gave up and chose to pick the honest job.

Even though they wouldn’t be able to earn contribution points quickly, but at the very least, they didn’t have to worry about losing their lives. They had already lost a lot before and now, all they could do was to try making up for it.

Thankfully, many of them had reached rank 3, which would make it easier for them to get the job.

The stable job was not bad.

But the rate of improvement for their abilities became slower.

For some of them, it was unacceptable and thus, they go out to hunt those big mutated animals once again.

But for most of them, they simply accepted the reality.

At the very least, they had already reached rank 3 and no longer at the bottom. Even if it was not very satisfactory, but the payment for those rank 3 awakened was higher than those who were at rank 1. freeweɓnovel.cøm

This would help them to cover up their debt faster.

Even though it was difficult, but it was not that bad.

Jake was one of the few who refused to give in and had been rushing out to fight these big mutated animals again and again. The problem was that it was not easy to gather people to hunt together because his interpersonal relationship was not good.

So, Jake could only take other menial jobs when he failed to gather a team or join in other team.

In the past year, he couldn’t come out to the wilderness often.

And his progress had naturally fallen behind.

Many of the awakened in City A Base had reached rank 4, but Jake was still only a rank 3 awakened and couldn’t see any hope of advancing in the past year. It was cruel, but the advancement from rank 3 to rank 4 required a lot of resources.

Just depending on his lousy talent, who knew what year would he reach rank 4.

Jake felt desperate.

He muddled through and there were still his parents whom he had to take care. But the two people couldn’t help him much and could only take ordinary jobs, become the ordinary among the ordinary.

Their ambitions had long been beaten back by the reality.

They knew very well that there was little hope for them to successfully become rich and powerful like how it used to be before there were any awakened.

Neither Mr. Stafford or Mrs. Stafford was willing to take the risk and become an awakened. They were far older than Jake because they had their children when they were in their thirties.

Now that Jake was already in his twenties, they were already more than fifties.

The risk was too great.

Even though there was jealousy in their hearts, but they choose to accept this fate and work honestly.

It was not very satisfying.

But at the very least, they were able to live well.

Now, in this outpost, Jake suddenly heard the two familiar names that he hadn’t heard in a long time. With Dylan and Anna busy with their own affairs and rarely came out, not many people saw them.

Even if they did, how many of them dared to step forward and greet Dylan and Anna?

They didn’t dare.

It was precisely because they didn’t dare that they could only talk about it when they saw and then put the matter behind.

The gap in their identities were really big.

Jake was at loss and looked at the small hut in the distance.

He and Anna used to be same young master and young misses. But he eventually become a small awakened who barely improve in the past year while Anna was living a good life in the Daniels Family.

Fate played a joke on them.

She should have been with him, staying beside him and taking care of him, yet she was now staying with another man who was already her husband.

Jake felt pain in his heart.

The past year was full of bitterness and loneliness for him.

Betty and the Williams Family no longer pestered him. They had seen his situation and knew that they couldn’t climb through him, so they were trying to use other ways to rise up.

Those people never thought of giving up.
