I'm the Villainess in the Apocalypse-Chapter 566. Unwanted Encounter (3)

Even if the reality was telling them that it was useless, but they didn’t want to give up.

Perhaps, their action looked stupid.

But for some people, there were simply no other ways. They were fixated on the goal in front of them and couldn’t think of other ways.

Because they felt imbalance.

Others could do it, why couldn’t they?

Perhaps only when the world stabilized in the future would they understood that everyone’s fate was different. That they were not fated for the same thing and that they were destined not to be able to awaken their abilities.

But that was for the future.

Right now, many people were still betting with their lives for this very small chance.

Jake could see his parents had put down the ambitions.

He didn’t blame them.

But he himself couldn’t do it.

His ambition was big and he felt that after several years, he should be able to soar and become a powerful awakened. But the past year had already beaten him so badly that he was suspicious of life.

Right now, Jake even doubted that he would be able to catch up to the other awakened who were more powerful than him and had reached higher ranks.

"Are they... powerful?" Jake suddenly asked.

"Huh?"

The few people who were conversing turned their head to look at Jake in confusion.

"Don’t you know that Young Master Daniels and his wife is famous? The two of them are at least rank 4 because they can hunt a lot of big mutated animals."

"Yes, yes, whenever they come back, they always carry a lot of big mutated animals’ corpses."

"Even Captain Bobby has a good relationship with them and had a hut reserved for them when they come to this outpost."

Jake didn’t always come to this outpost. After all, he would go to where there were missions and it was not always this one outpost.

The result was naturally he didn’t know about Dylan and Anna’s matter at all.

In the past year, he had no time to take care of other people around him and didn’t pay attention to them. It was only this time that he started to calm down and listend to the gossips did he find out that these two were actually already so powerful.

Rank 4.

He himself was only rank 3 and still far from rank 4.

The resources he obtained from hunting those big mutated animals were barely enough for him to earn contribution points for living. In order to make sure that his progress didn’t stop, he could only buy the big mutated rat’s meat meal from the canteen.

The taste was not that bad.

But he had to try his best to forget that it was rats’ meat.

These big mutated rats were the most common big mutated animals around City A Base and perhaps also other bases. Thanks to that, City A Base was overflowed with their meat and corpses. The skin, bones, and some other parts could be used as fertilizer. But the meat would be a waste to be used as fertilizer. freёnovelkiss.com

Thus, the canteen always had abundant stocks.

The price was also very cheap.

Only some people could not overcome the psychological barrier of eating rats’ meat would choose to pick other meals.

The other poor awakened would grit their teeth and pick this meal in order to get stronger faster. Even if the improvement was only a little bit, but at least it was some improvement. In other words, it was better than nothing at all.

Jake listened as the people around him started to praise Dylan and Anna and felt his heart hurt.

This was the woman who used to love him.

Now, she was with someone else and her ability was already far better than him.

She was also living a much better life compared to him.

Jake felt the great imbalance in his heart and felt that it was unfair. How could their lives in the past two years after their separation become so different like this?

Shouldn’t he be the one standing at the top while she was at the bottom?

But aside from unwillingness, there was also regret.

Regret abandoning such a good woman.

Jake felt that if there was a chance in the future, he should come to her and...

Huh...

Isn’t the chance right in front of him?

Looking at the hut in front of him, Jake slowly made his way towards the hut. He didn’t know what he was thinking or what he wanted to achieve, but he wanted to express his regret to Anna and let her come back to him.

Because he’s unwilling.

The chance that should have been his was thrown away just like that.

Knock! Knock!

"Yes?" Anna and Dylan, who were resting in the hut, looked at the door. They naturally knew that there were other awakened around the area because this was beside the outpost.

Even though it would not be too fun to communicate with them, but it wouldn’t be too good to be too aloof either.

So they usually picked this place to stay.

"It’s me Anna."

It’s me?

Anna felt that the voice was unfamiliar, but the person knew her name, so she still walked to the door and opened the door slightly to show a gap. Through this small gap, she was able to see an orange red haired man standing in front of the door.

Orange red hair...

There was only one person whom she knew had such unique hair color.

Jake Stafford.

Anna pursed her lips and only let the door opened slightly as she asked, "Why are you here, Jake?"

Hearing Anna’s cold tone, Dylan, who was staying behind Anna, stood up and walked to the door. He was naturally very familiar with the name of Anna’s former fiancé who was very annoying.

Kitty, who was playing with the wooden ball, also stopped and looked at the man in front of the door unkindly.
