Webnovel Author In The Apocalypse World

Was death all that awaited them?

Despair washed over the seven.

No, they didn't want to die yet. Someone would come to save them, yes, yes, someone would definitely come to their rescue!

As a particular team flashed through their minds, a glimmer of hope sparked in their eyes.

Just then, someone spoke up to help them: "Hey, boss, in this apocalyptic world, we need to unite. There are already so few humans left; punishing them is one thing, but killing them isn't quite right, is it?"

Kim Haru turned his head to look.

The speaker was also part of a ability user team, and judging by their attire, they didn't seem to belong to the Pyeongseong Safe Zone.

Kim Haru had no intention of paying attention to irrelevant comments from outsiders.

The man wasn't angered by being ignored; instead, he introduced himself to Kim Haru and those around: "I'm Bae Dongshin, a member of the Draco Virtus Squad from the Haneulsae Safe Zone. The people beside me are also from the Draco Virtus Squad. This is our first time in Pyeongseong Safe Zone, and it truly lives up to its reputation."

As soon as the name of the Draco Virtus Squad from the Haneulsae Safe Zone was mentioned, others couldn't help but glance at them a few more times.

Noticing those gazes, the Draco Virtus Squad felt secretly pleased.

However, when they looked at Kim Haru, they all found that he was still staring intently into the distance, seemingly oblivious to their presence.

It was as if their large group didn't exist at all.

Bae Dongshin felt somewhat displeased.

However, saving the seven was the priority; everything else could wait.

"Mr. Kim, do you intend to violate the rules of the Safe Zone?"

Finally, Kim Haru gave them a glance.

He knew about those rules. When dealing with the previous owner's enemy, the Flamma Squad, Jang Dojang had explained to him why they didn't just kill people outright.

However, the rules were the rules of the Safe Zone; what did they have to do with him, a person living outside the Safe Zone?

Kim Haru remained unmoved.

Realizing this, the members of the Draco Virtus Squad suddenly grew serious: "Mr. Kim, by openly violating the rules like this, every ability user has the right to apprehend you. If you really make a move, don't blame us for being rude."

"Who are you going to be rude to?" A voice came from outside the crowd.@@novelbin@@

As the crowd parted to make way for the speaker, they lowered their heads in greeting.

"Safe Zone Commander."

"Greetings, Safe Zone Commander"

"Safe Zone Commander."

It was none other than the Pyeongseong Safe Zone Commander, accompanied by his aide Jang Dojang, the director of the Animal Research Institute Do Seungjin, the captain of the patrol team, and the other three ability user team.

Hwa Jian spotted Han Gwonhee beside the leader of thepatrol team, and his heart instantly felt lighter.

Bae Dongshin, of course, recognized the Pyeongseong Safe Zone Commander: "Haha, I didn't expect to have the honor of attracting your attention. It's not a big deal; this Mr. Kim here seems to want to take action against those seven people. We were just thinking about the rule that prohibits infighting, so we didn't want to see him punished for breaking the rules."

Bae Dongshin felt that the situation was turning unfavorable.

They had finally gathered intelligence through various channels about this shop that sold normal vegetables and fruits and had specifically sent their people to test the waters. If they succeeded, they would easily gain a valuable prize; if they failed, they could still find a way to strike back at Pyeongseong Safe Zone.

The Draco Virtus Squad members were also watching the situation closely.

However, they never expected to see such a one-sided scene.

The ones being dominated were their own people.

These seven were all Level 2 ability users, yet they had been beaten down without any chance to fight back. The person referred to as Mr. Kim, the shop owner, was truly unfathomable.

Realizing that their plan had completely failed, the group had no choice but to come out and clean up the mess.

They thought that with the rule against arbitrary killings in place, the rest of the situation wouldn't be difficult. As long as they rescued the people and administered a light punishment, it wouldn't be a big deal—there were plenty of hands that could be used.

However, not only was this Mr. Kim unpredictable, but he also managed to draw the Pyeongseong Safe Zone Commander over.

Now, things had become troublesome.

They could only hope that the Safe Zone Commander would spare the lives of these few people, considering the rules. It would be even better if he could give Mr. Kim a little punishment. It wouldn't be acceptable for him to shelter someone who openly declared their intent to violate the rules in front of the public, right? After all, the Pyeongseong Safe Zone had always hoped that the Haneulsae Safe Zone could offer food support; surely they had to give some face to the Draco Virtus Squad, right?

However, what Bae Dongshin did not expect was that the Safe Zone Commander not only refused to punish him but even publicly announced an appointment right in front of him!

"Punish? No one has the right to punish the Vice Safe Zones Commander of the Pyeongseong Safe Zone. Jang Dojang."

"Yes," Jang Dojang replied, holding a notice in his hands. After receiving the Safe Zone Commander's directive, he loudly read to all the onlookers, "It is hereby appointed that Kim Haru becomes the Vice Safe Zones Commander of the Pyeongseong Safe Zone, with no obligation to report to anyone and free to use the resources of the Safe Zone at will. All institutions within the Pyeongseong Safe Zone will unconditionally obey Vice Safe Zone Commander Kim Haru's orders. This appointment takes effect immediately."

This announcement caused an immediate uproar.
