Webnovel Author In The Apocalypse World

Surprisingly, the human who had been bitten and spat out was still alive, though barely conscious.

Initially horrified by being "eaten," their heart had nearly stopped.

Then, being thrown onto the hard, icy ground had left their body in unbearable pain.

Unable to move or even groan, he could only scream internally in silent agony.

Fortunately, someone noticed the situation and quickly dragged the unfortunate person away.

The realization that the human bitten by the Cryo Wolf had survived helped calm the others slightly.

However, not everyone recovered quickly—some still couldn't suppress their screams.

Whenever someone screamed the loudest, and if they happened to be near the Cryo Wolf, they'd quickly find themselves in the jaws of a Cryo Wolf, only to be spat out moments later.

After such treatment, no one dared scream again.

The Cryo Wolf found this method highly effective.

However, some humans had managed to flee quite far.

Not wanting to stray too far from "the nice-smelling human", the Cryo Wolf couldn't deal with these distant screamers directly.

Instead, they let out low, warning growls.

Worried about waking up "the nice-smelling human", the Cryo Wolf kept their growls deliberately quiet.

Before long, the humans began to notice a pattern.

"Stay quiet! Don't shout or scream!" someone quickly advised. "As long as we stay silent, they won't harm us!"

Sure enough, when everyone around stopped shouting and screaming, no more humans were bitten or growled at.

Occasionally, someone would lose control and let out a yell, only to be met with an immediate growl from the Cryo Wolf.

"It's like these Cryo Wolf are guarding something here," someone observed.

"Didn't they say these Cryo Wolf belong to someone? Maybe they're protecting something for their owner."

"But why won't they let us make noise? Could it be that whatever's inside is alive?"

"Could their owner actually be here?"

"But these Cryo Wolf have been here all night, haven't they? Could anyone really stay outside in weather like this all night?"

Most of them dismissed this idea.

As they pointed out, it was hard to believe anyone could survive outdoors under such conditions, even with Cryo Wolf for protection.

The Cryo Wolf could provide safety, but they couldn't provide warmth.

So, when someone spotted a person among the Cryo Wolf, they were utterly stunned, their disbelief quickly turning into screams.

Kim Haru frowned deeply, clearly annoyed by the noise.

The Cryo Wolf noticed"*the nice-smelling human's" displeased expression and immediately became indignant.

See? See? These strangers are so noisy they've upset the nice-smelling human"!

Before, they had hesitated to leave "the nice-smelling human" while he was sleeping, but now things were different.

He was awake.

Immediately, the Cryo Wolf, except for Snowball No. 1, who stayed firmly by Kim Haru's side, bolted like lightning.

Snowball No. 2 through Snowoball No. 11 charged at the humans who were shouting the loudest, each opening their jaws wide and biting down indiscriminately.

This time, it wasn't one bite per person.

Some Cryo Wolf managed to grab multiple people at once, giving these noisy and bothersome humans a quick "bitting."

They spat them out before rushing off to bite the next group.

The humans, who could never have anticipated such a scene, burst into screams and scattered in all directions.

However, how could two-legged humans outrun four-legged Cryo Wolf, especially in this freezing, snow-covered landscape?

With their bodies chilled and sluggish, the humans didn't stand a chance.

In the end, every single onlooker was given their turn in the Cryo Wolf's mouths, not a single person left out.

The Cryo Wolf moved so fast that Kim Haru didn't even have time to react.

By the time he realized what had happened, the snow was littered with humans who had all been through a Cryo Wolf's mouth.

Finally, there were no more screams.

Silence returned to the area.

The Cryo Wolf with their tongues lolling out and looking pleased with themselves, returned to Kim Haru's side, gazing up at him with eager expressions.

Kim Haru: "..."

He could only laugh wryly.

In the end, Kim Haru still praised the Cryo Wolf for a job well done.

Honestly, he himself didn't like these overly nosy onlookers either.

It was at this moment that the Caeruleus Draco Squad's ability users finally arrived, albeit belatedly.

The Caeruleus Draco Squad was led by Song Hayoon.

Normally, their reaction times wouldn't have been this slow.

It was just that when they first heard about the Cryo Wolf being spotted, they knew the Cryo Wolf belonged to someone from the Pyeongseong Saze Zone and assumed there wouldn't be any problems.

Who could've guessed it would escalate into such a scene?

Now that the Caeruleus Draco Squad was here, they were at a loss for words as they took in the aftermath.

Shin Woncheon and the others also hurried over.

In the end, the whole matter was dropped as if nothing had happened.

After all, this was undeniably the Bangnang Safe Zone's fault.

Kim Haru's Cryo Wolf had already been merciful, merely scaring the humans without causing any injuries, let alone fatalities.

If the Caeruleus Draco Squad dared to make a fuss about this, they'd have no leg to stand on.

What was more, they were still hoping to obtain supplies from Pyeongseong.

No, it wasn't just about supplies anymore.

Song Hayoon and the Caeruleus Draco Squad members exchanged glances.

As they entered the room to negotiate supply prices, Song Hayoon suddenly turned to Shin Woncheon.

"I heard Pyeongseong Safe Zone's comprehensive strength has always ranked at the bottom. Would you be interested in making a deal with us?"

"What kind of deal?" Shin Woncheon asked.

"Who's in charge here?" Song Hayoon glanced at Shin Woncheon and Jo Sungmo before her gaze settled on Kim Haru.

Kim Haru hadn't expected to be involved at all.

He thought he was just here to accompany the rescue mission.

...

The pyeongseong rescue team and resource searching team members went out to prepare food.

After a long night, it was time to eat something.
