Webnovel Author In The Apocalypse World-Chapter 342 : Winter’s End

The Cryo Wolfs barked excitedly at Kim Haru.

Meanwhile, the Ginseng Spirit approached him early, not only translating the messages from the Unmelted Frost Bamboo Tree and the Cryo Wolfs but also sharing its own insights.

Fuzzball, with a paw pressed against Kim Haru's forehead, meowed incessantly to sound the alarm.

While these warnings weren't particularly useful to Kim Haru himself, they gave him plenty of time to inform the Pyeongseong Safe Zone.

As a result, when the storm finally passed, the safe zone—having prepared well in advance—emerged largely unscathed, experiencing little more than a heavy snowfall compared to the devastation of the first ice storm.

The Unmelted Frost Bamboo Tree employed by the Pyeongseong Safe Zone played a significant role, particularly in protecting the Greenhouse.

Not even the glass of the greenhouse, made by the Starlight Armored Bug, was shattered by the hardened ice and snow.

On one hand, the glass was exceptionally sturdy.

On the other hand, the Unmelted Frost Bamboo Tree actively mitigated the impact of the ice and snow.

By the time it fell onto the greenhouse glass, it had lost all its destructive force.

The buildings across the Pyeongseong Safe Zone had also undergone thorough repairs, thanks to everyone's collective efforts.

This time, the community weathered the ice storm with unprecedented ease.

After the storm subsided, Kim Haru visited the safe zone to check on the situation and received everyone's heartfelt gratitude once again.

The day after the storm, the sun rose early, and the following days were marked by clear skies and pleasant weather.

Kim Haru also received good news—his Greenhouse in the small farm had perfectly fulfilled its purpose, with all the various fruits and vegetables inside thriving and beginning to sprout tiny buds.

The Geenhouses in the Pyeongseong Safe Zone were built later than those in the small farm and didn't have the same high temperatures.

Therefore, the crops inside were not growing as quickly as those in Kim Haru's farm.

However, most of them were now about as tall as his calves and all of them were healthy.

One day, when Kim Haru opened the door to the cabin, he was startled by the large patch of green that had suddenly appeared around the farm.

"Where's the snow?" Kim Haru almost thought he had slept for many days.

He clearly remembered that the landscape around the farm was still covered in snow the night before.

Even Go Okrim had excitedly started a snowball fight with Luna and Cresent.

So why, when he woke up today, there is no snow anymore?

Fuzzball stretched it's body lazily, jumped down from the hanging basket on the ceiling and onto Kim Haru's shoulder.

It glanced outside the cabin, meowed nonchalantly, as if nothing were out of the ordinary.

Kim Haru understood now.

This must be the normal state of things in this world.

Sure enough, when Go Okrim and Kang Hose saw that Kim Haru's wooden cabin had stirred, they each brought a watering can and a bag of fertilizer and walked over from the greenhouse.

"Kim Haru-hyung, you're up? Winter's finally over, and it's already spring today. Should we let the ducks out?"

Kim Haru increasingly felt that only having received fragmented memories from the original owner was quite a disadvantage.

He had never realized that the transition from winter to spring could happen so drastically overnight.

Go Okrim and Kang Hose were still waiting for Kim Haru to make a decision.

Kim Haru felt the temperature in the air and nodded. "Open the doors to the chicken and duck houses, let them all out to stretch their legs. Just make sure they don't go into the Greenhouse. Let the ducks play by the pond."

Excited, Go Okrim pulled Kang Hose along to open the doors.

Without needing Kim Haru to say anything, Go Okrim had already planned on letting the little ducks play in the pond.

He had long wanted to see them swim around on such a large body of water and was also eager to test the results of him and Kang Hose teaching the ducks to swim.

Once Go Okrim and Kang Hose were gone, Kim Haru turned to the Ginseng Spirit and quietly asked, "What about the snow?"

The Ginseng Spirit was unconcerned by such a question.

It pointed to the sky and the ground. "Either it melted into the ground to become a water source, or it evaporated into the sky to prepare for rain."

Kim Haru looked up.

Sure enough, the sky was covered with dark clouds, low and heavy, as if a storm could break at any moment.

Even though he had received an answer, Kim Haru was still stunned by how quickly the snow had evaporated.

But then again, this was a post-apocalypse world, so perhaps it wasn't so strange that things didn't match what he knew.

Seeing that the others and the animals were fine, Kim Haru stopped dwelling on it.

Then, he noticed something odd.

"What about the Cryo Wolfs?"

Yes, aside from Fuzzball on his shoulder, Kim Haru couldn't see any Cryo Wolf at all.

Given the Cryo Wolfs' lively and playful personalities, they should have been wake up long before him and likely hopping around the small farm already.

But he didn't see them.

Suddenly, a memory about the Cryo Wolfs, introduced by Jang Dojang, popped into Kim Haru's mind.

He remembered Jang Dojang had once said, "The Cryo Wolf are a strange species. They only appear during winter and no one has ever seen them in other seasons. They're incredibly mysterious."

At the time, Kim Haru hadn't taken this seriously.

But now, thinking about it, he suddenly felt lost.

Could it be that the Cryo Wolfs were indeed only appeared in winter?

Now that winter was over, they had completely disappeared?

He hadn't even had a chance to say goodbye to them after spending the whole winter together.

This departure felt so sudden.

He wondered if they would return next winter.
