Webnovel Author In The Apocalypse World

As they looked at Kim Haru and the imposing figure of Jang Dojang standing behind him, the group shrank back a bit. Despite their excitement over being selected, they kept quiet and dared not speak too much.

Kim Haru, faced with so many strangers at once, felt a little overwhelmed. But seeing that none of them were particularly talkative, he relaxed.

"Alright, let's go."

Thinking of the harvest waiting for him at home, Kim Haru didn't bother to leave the safe zone first and then use his teleportation device. He handed two of the teleportation devices to two of the group members, keeping one for himself, and simply instructed them on how to activate it.

In an instant, the three figures disappeared.

The four people left behind, along with Jang Dojang, were completely dumbfounded.

What kind of miraculous skill was that?

In just a short while, Kim Haru reappeared.

He took back the teleportation devices from the two people who had already reached the farm and handed them to the next two. Before pressing the activation button this time, he remembered to explain to Jang Dojang, "This is a skill of one of my followers."

Under Jang Dojang's envious, curious gaze, Kim Haru went back and forth three times, transporting each pair of the six people to the farm.

On the final trip, Kim Haru told Jang Dojang to head back first since he had nothing else to do in the safe zone.

Jang Dojang, still captivated by the teleportation skill, began to imagine the possibilities. If such an ability could be made common, wouldn't it make so many things so much more convenient? For a moment, Jang Dojang's mind wandered far and wide with possibilities.

Just as he got in his vehicle to drive off and report the day's events to the Safe Zone Commander, someone stopped him.

It was a familiar face: Do Seungjin, the director of the Animal Research Institute.

"Director Do, what brings you here?"

"Where is he?" Do Seungjin anxiously peered into Jang Dojang's vehicle, not finding the person he was looking for. He immediately gave Jang Dojang a hard stare. "Where's Mr. Kim? I have an urgent matter to discuss with him!"

"Mr. Kim just left, Director Do. You missed him by a moment."

Do Seungjin: "…"

Damn it, how could he be this unlucky? He'd rushed over the moment he got the news First, he'd gone to Kim Haru's Green Basket Vegetable Shop only to find he wasn't there. Then, hearing that he'd gone to the Fourth District, he had hurried over. But he was still too late!@@novelbin@@

Could this be karma, punishing him for being neglectful toward Mr. Kim in the past?

Oh no, Mr. Kim, please come back! I was wrong! I just want to know if you really raising animals!

"Did he mention when he'd be back?"

"No, Mr. Kim is rather spontaneous." And now, with someone by his side who could teleport, tracking his whereabouts would be even more unpredictable.

Do Seungjin: "…"

Maybe… it was time to prepare for the "thirty visits" strategy. Perhaps on the first visit, he could bring some pigweed? If Mr. Kim had livestock, he might appreciate it… right?

In the blink of an eye, the six people who had accepted the mission found themselves transported from the Ability User Center to an unfamiliar place. They were all instantly tense, their bodies rigid as they warily scanned their surroundings.

"You're here," said Go Okrim, who had already sensed someone arriving the moment the teleportation device was activated. Standing nearby, he added, "Follow me. There's a lot of work for you to do, so don't slack off."

The six of them jumped in surprise, only now noticing someone standing there.

One of them, a taller man with a bit more courage, asked Go Okrim, "Could you explain what just happened? What was that?"

Go Okrim wasn't particularly patient with these people—his patience was reserved solely for Kim Haru. However, since these six were brought in by Kim Haru to help out, he refrained from showing them any displeasure.

Pointing to a nearby field that needed harvesting, Go Okrim said, "That was just my ability; no need to make a fuss. It's simply a faster way to get you here. If you had driven all the way, who knows how long it would have taken."

"That's where you'll be working for the next few days. You'll need to harvest the soybeans and potatoes there. Since you were chosen, none of you should have any problem with this, right?"

The six looked in the direction Go Okrim was pointing and were instantly wide-eyed.

What was that?!

They finally noticed the green crops stretching neatly across the brown soil on the other side of the pond, lined up like soldiers. The pods were plump, and the potato leaves were fresh and green, each plant swaying gently in the breeze.

There were no odd mutated colors or vicious-looking appendages.

For a fleeting moment, the sight in front of them made them feel like they were coming back to the world before the apocalypse when fields like this were a common comforting sight.

At this moment, any concern for their own safety faded completely.

Why worry? Someone that was capable of growing all this wouldn't have any reason to harm a handful of powerless people with no special abilities. In this post-apocalyptic world, human life could be both precious and utterly expendable.

With that thought, the six of them relaxed, their questions silenced. The tall man who had dared to ask questions even offered Go Okrim a sheepish apology, chuckling at his own nervousness.

Go Okrim didn't care; he was about to take the six people directly to the fields to harvest the soybeans and potatoes when he heard a noise from the teleportation device.

Kim Haru was back.

A genuine smile spread across Go Okrim's face.

The other six people noticed Go Okrim's expression and understood that Kim Haru was their true employer, making them even more respectful.
