Webnovel Author In The Apocalypse World

His face darkened. "I've already eaten so much meat earlier. You couldn't snatch it from me back then, and I know I was wrong. I apologize. Since you say this brains is so good, I won't fight you for it. Go ahead and eat more."

Go Okrim: "..."

The surrounding people watched as the two of them pushed the brains back and forth, neither of them willing to eat it.

Of course, the others didn't dare touch it either. They quietly looked away, focusing on their own business. Even when picking food from the pot, they moved cautiously, afraid to draw attention and have the brain flower pushed in their direction.

Only Kim Haru calmly extended his bowl. "If you don't eat it soon, it'll fall apart."

Ryu Hyunwoo and Go Okrim watched in stunned silence as Kim Haru scooped the entire brain into his bowl and asked, "Does anyone want it?"

Both of them shook their heads vigorously. When his gaze shifted to the others, they also shook their heads just as quickly.

Thus, Kim Haru ate it himself.

He even added some chili oil from the condiment bowl, drizzling it over the brain flower before taking a bite.

The others silently watched as he ate with an unchanged expression, even showing a hint of enjoyment as he chewed. Their respect for him grew even stronger.

The boiled brains that was looked even whiter now, topped with bright red chili oil. It resembled…

As expected of Mr. Kim!

After the "brains incident," Ryu Hyunwoo never dared to eat mindlessly again. No matter what anyone added to the pot, he scrutinized it carefully to ensure nothing bizarre ended up on his plate.

Fortunately, there were no more surprises.

After the meal, everyone naturally insisted Kim Haru shouldn't wash the dishes. They competed to gather them and take them to the kitchen. At first, they didn't notice the dishwasher and ended up crowding the kitchen, discussing dishwashing techniques. Someone even sighed, "This feels like life before the apocalypse—washing dishes at home."

It wasn't until Kim Haru noticed their prolonged absence and sent Ryu Hyunwoo to check that the dishes were finally loaded into the dishwasher.

The group was then in awe of Kim Haru's kitchen setup.

Members of the Delta Squad were especially impressed. "Mr. Kim's home has changed so much since last time. From the outside, it looks the same, but inside, it's so spacious, and the furnishings and facilities are incredible. Truly worthy of being Mr. Kim's handiwork."

Even if he had Space-type abilities, this wooden cabin seemed almost supernatural.

The group became increasingly convinced they were witnessing divine craftsmanship.

After tidying the dining area, they followed Kim Haru on a stroll around the area, their amazement growing with every step.

What were they seeing? All these plants were mutated plants! Previously obscured by snow and the speed of the Cyro Wolf pulling their sleds, they hadn't noticed. Now, upon closer inspection, they realized these were famous mutated plants that was listed in the mutated plants rankings list!

"Mr. Kim… have you always lived so close to these things?" Even Moon Baein couldn't stay calm. He had never imagined he'd be this close to such mutated plants, and yet they weren't attacking him.

Especially when Kim Haru casually touched one of them and even tried to pluck a leaf to show them. Moon Baein tensed up completely. Find more to read at My Virtual Library Empire

Hwa Jian and Han Gwonhee were equally on edge, their vigilance spilling over into their aura.

Kim Haru laughed at them. "Relax. If they were going to attack, wouldn't they have done it long before you got this close?"

The Delta Squad, having had a prior scare, fared slightly better than the others and tried to reassure them. "Don't worry. With Mr. Kim here, theseutated plants wouldn't dare act up."

Hearing this, everyone's respect for Kim Haru deepened.

Later, Kim Haru took them to see the reclaimed land on the other side of the pond. Although most of it was buried under snow, their reverence for the land remained unshaken. They even silently bowed to it.

In the courtyard, Kim Haru led them to peek inside an Igloo.

The sight of the thriving white radishes inside the Igloo made them envious. Growing fresh vegetables in such harsh winter conditions made them marvel even more at Mr. Kim's abilities.

Kim Haru didn't explain that the radishes were cultivated by a ginseng spirit. As far as he was concerned, the ginseng spirit stayed and planted radishes because of Kim Haru's influence. So, saying they were his didn't feel wrong at all.

Upon feeling the warmer temperature inside the Igloo compared to the outside, Moon Baein decided to replicate it in the safe zone. He planned to suggest building igloo to provide warmth before repairing homes.

They also enthusiastically explored the heated pigpen and chicken coop. Seeing more and more ducklings hatching in the coop, the group became increasingly excited at the thought that, when the spring come, the safe zone might have a whole flock of ducks to raise.

Of course, as they opened the coop door, everyone inevitably got pecked on the head by Sir Peckington. Apart from Ra Jinho, whose head seemed particularly tough, everyone else ended up with a small red mark on their foreheads after pulling their heads back.

No one paid much attention to such minor injuries. Compared to the wounds they'd sustained while battling mutated animals, these pecks were trivial.

The group exchanged glances and burst out laughing.

"If it weren't winter, I could take you all to the orchard for a walk," said Kim Haru. "The orchard is even larger than this area. You'd be able to pick the freshest fruit right off the trees. But don't worry; you can visit again later. By then, there might be even more fruit trees, not just oranges and apples."

Kim Haru, knowing that everyone present had signed the same confidentiality agreement with him, didn't mind sharing everything about the small farm with them.
