Webnovel Author In The Apocalypse World-Chapter 137: Animal Research Institute

"Moreover, the research institute has plenty of land suitable for studying crop growth. The researchers here would be willing to assist you."

This suggestion sounded as if the safe zone was trying to learn from him, and even with Jang Dojung’s authority, it felt a bit awkward to bring up.

Fortunately, Kim Haru, as he had hoped, didn’t take offense.

When it came to the conditions proposed by Jang Dojung, Kim Haru shook his head in refusal. "No, thank you."

Jang Dojang immediately felt anxious. "If you have any requests, please don’t hesitate to mention them! I believe both the Safe Zone Commander and everyone in the safe zone would be willing to help you out!"

"It’s not that issue," Kim Haru remained steadfast. "It’s that my abilities aren’t sufficient."

The farming system only existed within Kim Haru himself. There is things that still couldn’t be avoided with his direct involvement, and expanding it to cover the entire safe zone was something he simply couldn’t handle at the moment.

Jang Dojung and Jang Dojang felt a slight sense of disappointment.

Right, Mr. Kim’s crops are completely free of the mutagenic virus—such crops couldn’t be grown so easily. Mr. Kim must have made a crucial step in the process. And for him, that step surely wasn’t easy, so it’s not like he can just plant as much as they’d like.

However, Mr. Kim’s abilities will certainly continue to improve! Perhaps, one day, they might even see a time when the whole safe zone can be cultivated with virus-free produce!

The two quickly set aside their initial disappointment, and Jang Dojang stood by his promise to provide Mr. Kim with grain. After all, as a special consultant to the safe zone, Mr. Kim was entitled to his share—and with all the precious vegetables he’d contributed, he deserved it.

"When Hwa Jian’s supplies are ready, please take the grains with you as you head back. They’re already set aside in the logistics department," Jang Dojang said.

"Alright," Kim Haru replied.

He wasn’t going to turn down more grain.

The three of them continued chatting and wandering around the plant research institute. Mostly, it was Jang Dojung and Jang Dojang talking, with Kim Haru occasionally responding.

They reached the back door when Kim Haru heard a familiar sound.

"What’s over there?" he asked.

There was a series of loud grunts, rather distressing to hear. The sound was quite similar to that of Little Snort, the new member who had just joined the farm yesterday.

It’s just that compared to Little Snort, the sound he just heard was rougher and louder.

They were raising pigs here—he could definitely learn a thing or two from them!

"That’s the Animal Research Institute over there." Jang Dojung glanced outside. "Mr. Kim, are you interested in animals as well? Would you like to take a look?"

"Can I?" Kim Haru asked in surprise. Upon receiving confirmation, he eagerly agreed.

Jang Dojung suddenly had a bad feeling.

—He might end up competing with the Animal Research Institute, his old rival, for talent once again.

Regardless of his premonition, Jang Dojung still led Kim Haru over to the Animal Research Institute.

The land that was occupied by the Animal and Plant Research Institutes was adjacent, although their main entrances were built at a considerable distance from each other, practically back-to-back. However, the back door where Kim Haru and his companions were now led directly to the Animal Institute’s back entrance, making it the quickest route.

They soon reached the rear gate after passing through a small courtyard.

Jang Dojung that was familiar with the route, raised his hand and knocked. "Open up; we’re just here for a look around."

There was some movement on the other side of the door, and shortly after, it was opened by an assistant researcher tasked with miscellaneous duties, who was more than used to occasionally opening the back door.

"Oh, Director Jang, what brings you here? Are you looking for our director? He just caught a mutated black boar and is training it right now," the assistant chuckled as he let them in. "I’d say that boar’s got a nasty temper, and it’s even rubbed off on the director, making him a bit irritable too. You’d best be careful not to get into a spat!"

Jang Dojung pushed up his glasses. "Enough with the chatter."

The assistant only laughed, undeterred, and closed the door behind them, giving them directions.

Everyone in the safe zone knew about the rivalry between Director Jang of the Plant Research Institute and the Director of the Animal Research Institute. No one was quite sure why they didn’t get along with each other. They worked seamlessly together when dealing with outsiders—rumor had it they’d outsmarted other safe zones for countless valuable research assets in the past.

Yet, the moment they saw each other, they would start bickering, clearly irritated with each other. They really didn’t look like they got along at all.

Over time, the members of both research institutes got used to it. No one was quick to intervene or pull them apart anymore when the two directors looked on the verge of trading blows.

Some of the more lively researchers even when they heard that the two directors had crossed paths with each other again, they would came specifically to watch their quarrels for entertainment.

Kim Haru was unaware of all this, he only interested in the pigs. When the assistant mentioned the black boar, his eyes lit up.

After all, the little piglet back at his place was also has black color—maybe he could pick up a few tips on rearing it here!

Jang Dojung and Jang Dojang immediately recognized from Kim Haru’s expression that he wanted to see the black boar, so they headed directly to the destination without any delay.

As they got closer, the sound of the pig’s squeals grew louder.

When Kim Haru finally saw the enormous black boar that was nearly the size of half a house, he was taken aback.
