Webnovel Author In The Apocalypse World

Seeing that Kim Haru was fine, Hwa Jian also bid farewell to Kim Haru and prepared to leave.

However, he was stopped by Kim Haru.

"Here are the vegetables for you." Kim Haru took out a cabbage, over ten potatoes, and a handful of soybeans from his system backpack. "Thank you."

"Ah, I—I can't accept this, Mr. Kim …" Hwa Jian immediately waved his hands in refusal. The quality of these vegetables was so high; how could he take them for free? Moreover, he hadn't helped at all. If he had genuinely contributed, he could have shamelessly accepted them.

Kim Haru didn't want to argue any further and pressed the vegetables into Hwa Jian's hands.

"Just take them. Thank you."

That thank you was also directed at Han Gwonhee.

He nodded his head slightly, as if acknowledging it.

The two socially anxious individuals exchanged glances, silently understanding each other's intentions, and instantly felt much more at ease.

Kim Haru paid no mind to Hwa Jian and Han Gwonhee and followed Shin Woncheon as he left.

Hwa Jian, who still wanted to return the precious vegetables, was stopped by Han Gwonhee. "Just take them; he doesn't need these. You have others at home to care for, and you can return the favor next time you get the chance."

With no other option, Hwa Jian could only gratefully accept them.

"Since you're here Gwonhee. Let's go to my house for dinner today. These vegetables are technically yours too. I'll whip up something special; it's been a long time since I've had vegetables of such quality."

"Sure."

As for Kim Haru, once he exited the patrol team building, he contemplated whether he should find another place to sell the remaining vegetables since he was already there.

Before he could bring it up, Shin Woncheon hesitated and asked, "Mr. Kim, what are your plans next?"

Kim Haru looked at him and replied, "Hmm?"

Seeing Shin Woncheon's expression, it seemed he had something to say.

As expected, Shin Woncheon proposed, "It's like this, Mr. Kim. The quality of your vegetables is exceptionally high and highly sought after in this post-apocalyptic world. So, I was wondering if you would be open to collaborating with others?"

"It's from the officials."

The Delta Squad brought someone responsible for logistics in the Second District, a capable and tall woman named Kang Yeongseok.

Kang Yeongseok was the head of logistics for the entire Second District. If someone came to her to discuss cooperation, she would usually make them meet her on their own terms; she would definitely throw a water balloon at their face and tell them to get lost as far away as possible.

But who could resist Shin Woncheon?

After listening to the Delta Squad's various assurances, especially with Shin Woncheon practically swearing on his life that he was telling the truth, she reluctantly followed them to the Fourth District, albeit with some skepticism.

"You guys better not joke around with me. I still have a ton of things to do and waiting for me to handle it in the district. If you dare to mess with me, every single one of you will end up working a month for the logistics department."

"Don't worry; who would dare to fool you! Besides, don't you know what kind of person our captain is? His words can't be false!" Ryu Hyunwoo continuously patted his chest to assure her. "Let me tell you, Noonim, if you see those ingredients Mr. Kim has, you'll be even more impressed than us. If you take a bite, you'll never forget that taste for the rest of your life!"

Gang Yuwon and Ra Jinho nodded their head vigorously in agreement.

And so, Kang Yeongseok arrived at the Fourth District.

She was decisive in her actions and didn't care for formalities. Hearing that Mr. Kim was in the patrol team's office, she directly used the patrol team's office to begin preliminary discussions.

When she saw Mr. Kim, Kang Yeongseok was taken aback.

"Kim Haru?"

Oh, this person recognizes the original owner.

As soon as Kim Haru saw Kang Yeongseok's reaction, he quickly understood.

"Who are you?" Kim Haru asked.

He flipped through the original owner's memories but had no impression of this woman.

Kim Haru wasn't worried about revealing any secrets; the original owner wasn't particularly lively or sociable. He believed he hadn't made enemies with anyone and certainly didn't have any special friendships.

That group of scoundrels had been wary of their long-desired villa falling into someone else's hands, so they overtly and covertly restricted the original owner from socializing too closely with others.

Sure enough, Kim Haru's straightforward inquiry didn't raise any suspicion from Kang Yeongseok. She observed the person in front of her and explained, "I'm the logistics director for the Second District. I came to verify some information at your house once before; it's normal that you don't remember me."

If it weren't for the fact that Kang Yeongseok's senses, including her vision, had greatly improved after awakening her ability, she wouldn't have dared to recognize that this person was indeed Kim Haru.

A regular person who hadn't awakened any ability and had no special skills owning a villa in the Second District left quite an impression. Almost everyone in the logistics department had heard of his name, and during idle times, they would occasionally place bets on how long he could keep his villa.

Even Kang Yeongseok had been called to participate in those bets. She remembered that she had seemingly bet on... very soon?

After all, in the eyes of most people, Kim Haru didn't have the capability to retain it. As for whose name was on the property deed? This was a post-apocalyptic world; how many people would still be willing to adhere to those rules?

Kang Yeongseok just couldn't believe what he was seeing—right here, standing before her, was none other than Kim Haru, the person everyone in the Delta Squad kept calling the master gardener!

"You've returned, so what's going on with your place? The Flamma Squad reported that you… disappeared while on a mission."
