Webnovel Author In The Apocalypse World-Chapter 226: Fluffy Frenzy

Amid the cacophony of barking, Kim Haru could faintly hear the voices of the ability user squad outside trying to rescue them.

Kim Haru also tries to push the door open.

This movement was instantly noticed by the Cryo Wolf who was surrounding the vehicle.

The next moment, the previously jammed door was suddenly cleared of obstacles. Kim Haru even saw one particularly oval-shaped Cryo Wolf stick itself to the car door, and then slide down with a screech. With a single swipe, the sturdy car door was torn open, leaving a gaping hole.

The once-reinforced vehicle now seemed no sturdier than paper.

As the door was "opened." Kim Haru’s scent spread even further and the Cryo Wolf outside began bouncing excitedly in the snow.

Some even attempted to crawl through the newly formed hole in the door. Just as one of them made the slightest move, the other Cryo Wolf jumped and tackled it to the ground.

"Woof! Woof!"

The Cryo Wolf barked toward the car door.

Kim Haru inexplicably sensed that they were trying to tell him it was safe to come out.

He tentatively extended a hand toward the outside.

The Pyeongseong Safe Zone Commander immediately stopped him.

Moon Baein shook his head and said, "Mr. Kim, wait a moment. Be careful. Let me go first."

With that, Moon Baein reached out his hand, then his foot. The Cryo Wolf outside showed no reaction, so he cautiously leaned his whole body out. Finally, he stood completely outside the car.

Seeing that the Cryo Wolf remained calm, Kim Haru stepped out as well, only after receiving an approving nod from the Pyeongseong Safe Zone Commander.

As soon as Kim Haru was fully exposed outside the car, the pack of Cryo Wolf visibly grew more excited. They began bouncing energetically in the snow, jumping higher and higher before landing with heavy thuds that caused the ground to tremble.

At that moment, no one had any doubts that the Cryo Wolf was indeed here for Kim Haru.

"Mr. Kim, Safe Zone Commander, are you both alright?" Jang Dojang approached them with the ability users, his face filled with concern as he checked on the two of them.

"We’re fine," the Pyeongseong Safe Zone Commander replied.

Once they saw that both of them were unharmed and standing safely before them, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Their attention then shifted to the Cryo Wolf who was still joyfully bouncing in the snow.

"What should we do with them?" someone asked.

All eyes turned to Kim Haru.

To them, since the Cryo Wolf had come for him, Kim Haru must have some way of dealing with them, right?

Kim Haru, in fact, had no idea what to do. However, judging from the Cryo Wolf’s behavior, he thought it might be worth a try.

He slowly walked toward one of the Cryo Wolfs and said, "Come here."

The next moment, the Cryo Wolf, which had been enthusiastically hopping about, immediately stopped. It began rolling toward Kim Haru in small, hesitant movements. Watching its wobbly motions, Kim Haru couldn’t help but think it resembled a shy dog.

Kim Haru took a few more steps forward and tentatively reached out to touch the snow dog’s head.

In an instant, as his hand made contact, the Cryo Wolf’s fur immediately turned pink at the spot where he touched it.

Kim Haru was startled.

He instinctively withdrew his hand from the Cryo Wolf. But in the next moment, the Cryo Wolf pushed its head back against Kim Haru’s hand, the soft fur brushing against him again as it continued turning pink wherever they touched.

Before Kim Haru could react, he was suddenly surrounded by a flurry of pink Cryo Wolf. The other Cryo Wolf eagerly pressed against him, jostling to make contact with his hand. When they couldn’t reach his hands, they squeezed against his legs, waist, and back instead.

Despite the crowding, none of the Cryo Wolfs used excessive force. Their movements were surprisingly gentle, and Kim Haru didn’t feel the least bit uncomfortable.

Well, it was confirmed now—these dogs seemed looking for him.

Kim Haru cleared his throat and said, "Sit down."

Immediately, the oval-shaped Cryo Wolf lying horizontally shifted into slightly tilted ovals as they sat down obediently.

Now Kim Haru could finally distinguish which end was their head and which was their tail.

"Were you looking for me? If yes, bark once. If no, bark twice."

"Woof."

Alright, so they were indeed looking for him.

Kim Haru, now sure of this, felt a growing headache. He had so many questions he wanted to ask—why were they looking for him? How had they found him? And who had drawn that pattern? But how could he possibly get answers from a group of creatures whose only response was "woof"?

Turning his head to the Pyeongseong Safe Zone Commander, Kim Haru asked, "What kind of animal did Cryo Wolf mutate from?"

"If I’m not mistaken," Moon Baein replied with a slightly pained expression, "they’re a hybrid mutation of huskies and Samoyeds."

No one really knew why huskies and Samoyeds had mixed together and mutated after the apocalypse. Originally, people weren’t even sure what species these Cryo Wolf were. That changed when someone, out of sheer boredom, managed to capture one, shave all its fur off, and finally discover the truth.

This revelation wasn’t particularly useful when Cryo Wolf was considered an enemy of humanity. But what if they were becoming allies?

The Pyeongseong Safe Zone Commander couldn’t help but imagine these big mutated creatures entering the safe zone. If they started wreaking havoc in their homes…Well, the thought made him worry about the future of the Pyeongseong Safe Zone.

Kim Haru hadn’t expected the Cryo Wolf to be a hybrid of huskies and Samoyeds either. They looked nothing like either breed now. Well, not entirely—those fluffy white coats were reminiscent of Samoyeds, and their enthusiasm when pouncing on the car or bouncing around did have a certain husky-like energy.

Especially that moment when they tried to open the car door—yeah, that was pure husky.
