Moon Baein was on high alert, his entire body tense.

According to frontline reports, this zombie horde was massive.

The number of zombies already identified was at least twice the total population of the Pyeongseong Safe Zone!

This count includes ordinary people.

If only the ability users are counted, the number is more than ten times greater!

Moreover, the zombie horde wouldn't just come in a single wave.

As more and more zombies swarmed forward, the ones behind would continue to follow.

No one knew how many were still coming, or how many high-level zombies were mixed in with the horde.

This was going to be a brutal battle.

If they failed...

No!

The zombies hadn't arrived yet, so how could he already be losing hope?

This trade gathering had been organized by

Pyeongseong Safe Zone, and he had to make sure that everyone who came could leave safely!

It was just a zombie horde—this wasn't the first time Pyeongseong Safe Zone had faced one!

Moon Baein spread out a map of the area surrounding the safe zone, marking each piece of reported information on it one by one.

This zombie horde was approaching from the southeast.

Considering the spread of the horde, they would need to reinforce the defenses on both the southern and eastern fronts as well...

Shit!

Moon Baein suddenly remembered something.

The ever-composed Safe Zone Commander couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"Someone! Send people immediately to notify Mr. Kim!" Moon Baein shouted.

He had been so shocked by the news of the zombie horde that he had completely forgotten—Kim Haru wasn't inside the safe zone!

His small farm was located to the east, and just his luck, it happened to be right next to the path of the incoming zombie horde.

If he was lucky and managed to avoid the wave, that would be great, but if he wasn't...

If Kim Haru didn't receive the news and had no time to prepare—!

The very thought made Moon Baein clench his fists tightly.

No, impossible.

Mr. Kim wasn't an ordinary person.

He had visited the small farm before—wasn't it surrounded by countless mutated plants?

Those plants would definitely be able to hold off a mere zombie horde!

Yes, Kim Haru's farm was definitely safer than Pyeongseong Safe Zone.

Before Moon Baein could even finish reassuring himself, he heard footsteps at the entrance.

The subordinate he had just sent out had returned—with a familiar figure in tow.

"Safe Zone Commander, do you need any help?"

It was none other than the person Moon Baein had been worrying about—Kim Haru.

"Mr. Kim! Why are you here in the safe zone?!" Moon Baein was immediately flustered.

He had just been convincing himself that the farm was safer than Pyeongseong Safe Zone, only to find that Kim Haru had come to the more dangerous place instead.

He panicked and urged, "The zombie horde will be here soon! Your farm is far safer than this place. You should go back immediately."

Moon Baein knew Kim Haru was powerful, but he couldn't gamble with his safety.

What if something went wrong?

Kim Haru understood Moon Baein's concerns.

He had absolute confidence in the system's protective barrier and the Farm's Blessing, but that didn't mean he intended to fight on the front lines.

Regardless of his combat experience or Pyeongseong Safe Zone's overall strategy, he would prioritize protecting himself.

But that didn't mean he could only sit idly at the farm and wait.

The animals and plants on the farm had become restless, and from the Ginseng Spirit, Kim Haru learned that a zombie horde was approaching.

He had originally planned to rush straight to the safe zone, but Kang Hose stopped him, telling him to first consider how he could contribute and to bring everything he might need so he wouldn't have to make multiple trips.

This was Kim Haru's first time experiencing a zombie horde.

The original owner of this body had been through one, but the lingering memories were long gone, leaving nothing useful for Kim Haru to reference.

Other than that, he had only seen zombie hordes in movies, TV shows, novels, and games.

At first, Kim Haru panicked for a moment.

However, when his gaze fell on the surrounding mutated plants, Fuzzball in his arms, and the virtual farm system screen that only he could see, he quickly calmed down.

If there was any place that could be considered the safest when the zombie tide arrived, it would undoubtedly be his small farm.

Knowing this, Kim Haru felt even less anxious.

First, he sent Kang Hose, who would only panic needlessly if he stayed on the farm, to the safe zone so he could fight alongside his former teammates.

Then, he left Go Okrim, who could only control zombies and had no other abilities aside from the enhanced physical fitness of an ability user, to stay behind and guard the farm.

Next, Kim Haru called over the Ginseng Spirit and began systematically questioning and soothing the surrounding mutated plants one by one.

Those with area-of-effect attack skills, preferably ones that could distinguish between friend and foe.

Those that could move independently from the soil.

Those that did not reject being in areas with large gatherings of humans.

Those with strong vitality that were difficult to kill.

And so on.

Any mutated plant suitable for taking to the safe zone to fight zombies was promised a large supply of "food."

As long as they were willing, Kim Haru quickly gathered a formidable fighting force.

The harvest from the orchard was also substantial.

Although the fruit trees themselves did not go with Kim Haru, they eagerly stuffed him with a massive pile of fruit.

Naturally, these were not ordinary fruits meant for human consumption—their most basic function was to make explosion over a large area.

Finally, after bringing along the suitable combat animals, Kim Haru pressed the teleportation device and instantly appeared in the central district of Pyeongseong Safe Zone.
