I'm the Villainess in the Apocalypse-Chapter 480. Comfort

Dylan and Anna didn’t care about these people.

They were walking on their way back to the base and Dylan could sense that Anna’s mood was not quite right.

Even though Anna hated the Williams Family, she didn’t exactly wish for their death. Not in the past and probably not now. What she wanted was for them to live without have any interaction whatsoever.

What was good from staining her own hands with their blood?

There was nothing good.

Dylan could feel the complicated feelings in Anna’s heart, so he was the one who made the last move. This way, the one who did it directly was not her but him.

After all, for Dylan the Williams Family was more of a stranger, so he didn’t have much feelings for them. Killing people who didn’t have any emotional bonds with them was much easier compared to killing people whom he knew and close with.

Call him cold blooded or anything.

But he would not put Anna in the dilemma that he could solve on his own.

Slowly, Dylan stretched his hand and grabbed Anna’s hand. He didn’t know what words to say to comfort Anna right now, so all he could do was to offer his presence and to tell her with action that no matter what, he would always be by her side.

Anna held Dylan’s hand tighter and the two of them continued to make their way back to the base.

No words were said.

But the company was already the greatest comfort.

Kitty followed behind the two of them and rubbed his body on Anna’s legs from time to time. He could sense that Anna felt a bit complicated, so he just wanted to offer his presence and to tell her that he will also on Anna’s side.

As a cat, he didn’t really understand the complicate feelings of human.

He only knew that Anna was in bad mood.

So he used his fluffy body to make sure that Anna could feel better.

...

The fire behind them spread for some time before it was extinguished.

When there was nothing to burn, the fire will naturally put out by itself. But at this time, the damage was done and the road was scorched black. No trace of the vines was left with the fire completely destroyed all kind of traces.

Even many furniture that were left in the buildings was completely burned until nothing was left.

It was completely gone.

The pile of ashes was all that was left on the place, seemingly to tell people that there were something that was burned down here. The most surprising was that these broken buildings were also burned.

Even if the buildings were not completely destroyed, but many of them were still made of wood and other flammable materials, so after this fire, they were only ruins with black ashes all over it.

Everywhere they see, it was completely black.

This kind of scene made people’s scalp numb when they saw it.

If they were to encounter such a fierce fire, it was estimated that they would not be able to escape safely and many of them would have to die.

This was what made many people feel rather desperate.

They didn’t want to die.

They still wanted to live!

Those awakened who thought that they were strong looked at the scene in front of them and felt that they were humbled. Because if they were to face such an attack, who could say for sure that they would be able to escape unscathed?

No one dared to say that.

The few people who passed by reported the incident to the base, which made people wonder and curious what actually happened there. They did find some bones from the unlucky big mutated animals that were burned. And from the way it looked like, there might be some unfortunate awakened too.

It was terrifying.

This fire come and goes suddenly, seemingly to tell them that there was someone who controlled the fire to the degree that there would not be anything left but ashes.

To be honest, many other fire elements have this ability.

The problem was the range.

Normal fire element wouldn’t be able to cause fire for a large area because their range was limited and their power was also limited. In order to achieve the degree of burning until nothing was left, it required a lot of power.

Or at least, they could use some combustible materials that could help with the fire to spread and maintain the heat.

The discussion between people were fierce.

However, the base was not too concerned.

Because no one was paying close attention to the wilderness and the awakened movements to hunt these big mutated animals out there. Even if they were to fight against these big mutated animals with fire and so on... no one would be surprised.

And some fire element awakened were indeed quite reckless and had already caused some small fires over the past few months.

So seeing this big fire, their thoughts were on some awakened who couldn’t control their fire well and ignited a large amount of flammable items. It was not impossible and no one would be surprised by this.

It was the most reasonable explanation.

But a small number of people were thinking about whether there were any awakened out there who were so powerful that they were able to do this kind of thing and cause such a great disaster.

They didn’t know who it might be.

And there was some speculation, but no one dared to go and confirm the truth. Because they knew that even if there were truly awakened who were so powerful, it was not their place to ask question.

All they could do was to work hard and try their best to catch up.

It was just that some people were concerned at how many flammable items were out there.

And some strange environmentalists were more worried about the pollution.

Uncle Darien looked at the report in front of him and his lips twitched. In this situation where their safety was threatened by big mutated animals, he felt that some people’s way of thinking was really strange.

They were concerned about the world’s well being.

Well, it was not that bad, but can you please not submit the petition to him? He had no time to care about it with the threat of these big mutated animals out there.

The environment situation was already very bad due to the changeable weather and seasons that was very strange recently. The world’s situation was really bad and what humans could do was to care about themselves first.

They couldn’t possibly care about the entire world first.

Not to mention....

There was a sighting of a powerful big mutated animal not far from their base. It has been sighted for some time, but at that time, it was closer to other bases and no one wanted to provoke strong big mutated animals.

Now, this strong big mutated animal had started to move.

And the direction was to the neighboring base not far from City A Base.

And when Uncle Darien was reviewing the matter and the map, he heard report about the strange big fire in City A.

"Strange big fire?" Uncle Darien looked at Lucas in front of him. He seriously wondered whether this brat had nothing else to do but to bother him here and whether those two people had no one else to be used to find him aside from Lucas.

Lucas nodded. "The fire is not natural and how the fire seems to spread at large area is also another question. Also, based on the shape of the fire... it’s a bit closer to a circle."

Circle?

Uncle Darien arched his eyebrows and looked at the projection in front of him that was sent by Second Uncle Kenan. When he saw the fire markings’ left, Uncle Darien had to admit that it seemed to be manmade.

The shape was closer to that of a circle, which was a bit strange considering that they were not purposely putting anything that was flammable in particular shape out there. And saying it was a coincidence...

It was a bit hard to believe.

The shape was too good.

And the possibility of making this big circle should have been the fire element awakened, but Uncle Darien felt that most fire element awakened were not so powerful. It was also possible that they used some materials to cause this effect, but it would also consume a lot of resources.

Uncle Darien looked at the picture for a while and then turned to look at Lucas. "What do you want to say?"

"Well, Second Uncle Kenan told me to ask for your help to find if there’s any fire element awakened who might be able to do this from our base." Lucas replied with a bitter smile.

Fire element?

"...The strongest fire element is Kenan, right?"
