Webnovel Author In The Apocalypse World-Chapter 218: Joyful Chaos in the Breeze

As Kim Haru considered whether he should help rescue these plants, he suddenly heard the high-pitched "yi yi yi" sound—the voice of the mutated wheat, which was always pulling its roots out of the ground and wandering around.

At this moment, the mutated wheat had pulled its roots out again, its limp body swept up by the wild wind, floating in mid-air. It had only one leaf, which was wrapped around nearby plant branches to ensure it wouldn’t be blown too far away.

As for the "yi yi yi" sound, Kim Haru could detect a note of happiness in it.

Yes, the mutated wheat wasn’t frightened at all by being blown into the sky; in fact, it seemed quite thrilled, making sounds just like a person on a roller coaster at an amusement park, both scared and excited at the same time.

Kim Haru: "..."

Alright then, he had been projecting his own feelings onto the plants. It seemed these mutated plants weren’t distressed at all—in fact, they thought this was just a fun game.

Kim Haru didn’t bother trying to save the vines swaying in the wind. They definitely wouldn’t snap. He had tried to use them as ropes before, tugging and tying them into knots, and they hadn’t broken then. A mere gust of wind wasn’t going to do it.

Now, it was time to check if the wind had affected his farm in any way.

As Kim Haru checked on the chicken coop and pigpen, he listened to Go Okrim, who was explaining the situation with the wind.

"I was half asleep and felt like the zombies were acting weird. When I got up to check, I saw this crazy wind blowing." Go Okrim wasn’t sure what was happening either. "I almost thought it was a typhoon or a tornado!"

Seeing the situation, Go Okrim immediately rushed over to find Kim Haru.

"Are the zombies alright?" Kim Haru asked.

"It’s nothing serious, just went from standing to lying down after getting blown over."

"That’s good." These zombies were now part of the farm’s workforce, even getting the cow shed as their living quarters. Losing them would be a shame. "Go check on the orchard and see how things are over there."

Kim Haru instructed Go Okrim.

Go Okrim nodded and disappeared with a teleport.

Kim Haru braved the wind as he carefully inspected the chicken coop and pigpen, finding no major issues. Even the cow shed where the zombies lived, a structure provided by the system, was sturdy enough to withstand the storm. Not even the thatch on the chicken coop’s roof had been blown away. However, the commotion did frighten the animals inside.

Little Nugget and Sir Peckington decided to stay inside today, nesting quietly in the duck egg corner and leaning on each other to keep the eggs warm. With food and water readily available in the coop, they showed no interest in venturing out.

In the pigpen, Little Snort, now growing larger by the day, was unbothered by the wind. However, the newcomer, Big Snort, was spooked and turned aggressive, charging around the pen and even bumping into Little Snort multiple times.

Little Snort, clearly annoyed, decided to put Big Snort in its place.

With one hefty sit, Little Snort plopped down on Big Snort, pinning it firmly to the ground. No matter how much Big Snort struggled, kicking its legs, it couldn’t move. Finally, it gave up and calmed down.

After this little incident, Big Snort quickly adjusted to the storm. Wherever Little Snort went, Big Snort followed. When Little Snort got up, so did Big Snort. When Little Snort ate, Big Snort ate. When Little Snort drank water, Big Snort followed with loud gulps.

Seeing the two pigs getting along, Kim Haru felt relieved.

Little Oakie nearby, swayed happily in the wind. Its vibrant leaves fluttered rhythmically, making it clear it was in a good mood.

Satisfied with the scene, Kim Haru’s worries about the orchard eased.

Sure enough, when he arrived at the orchard, he found the fruit trees swaying joyfully in the breeze. Their rustling leaves and branches created a sound that almost formed a melody, harmonizing with the wind like a grand outdoor concert.

"You’re here, hyung!" Go Okrim greeted him casually, leaning against an orange tree while peeling an orange to eat.

Kim Haru nodded in acknowledgment. "How are things here?"

He didn’t really need Go Okrim’s response—the state of the orchard had already told him everything he needed to know.

As expected, Go Okrim shrugged. "Everything’s fine. These plants aren’t afraid of the wind at all. That cheeky orange tree even said it loves windy days the most. You don’t need to worry, hyung."

"Hmm." Kim Haru acknowledged with a nod. "What about Little Cinnamon and the apple tree?"

"Little Cinnamon isn’t scared either, but its small frame can’t handle such strong wind, so it’s already taken shelter in the hamster nest inside the apple tree. The apple tree is loving the wind as well—it’s even revealed its true form and is keeping rhythm with the nearby orange trees." Continue your journey with novelbuddy

Go Okrim was also someone who loved lively scenes. If he could understand the beat of the fruit trees, he’d probably already be joining in, singing and dancing along in complete chaos.

"But the old orange tree isn’t doing much. It even dropped a few leaves," Go Okrim added, observing closely.

He was well aware that the reason these mutated plants treated him normally was mostly thanks to Kim Haru. Older trees like the old orange tree or higher-level mutated plants wouldn’t usually bother with him unless necessary.

So Go Okrim didn’t push his luck, keeping his distance to avoid annoying them unnecessarily.

After hearing the report, Kim Haru approached the old orange tree to inspect it.

The old orange tree indeed didn’t care much for the wind and wasn’t swaying along with the other trees. When Kim Haru asked if it was cold, the tree responded that if possible, it wouldn’t mind wearing some clothes.
