Webnovel Author In The Apocalypse World-Chapter 227: Snowball Squad Moves In

Kim Haru pressed his hand to his forehead.

He had once taken care of a friend’s husky for a couple of weeks. In that time, he’d felt like his nerves were constantly on edge. Every morning, he woke up wanting to roast the dog for breakfast and begged his friend to return sooner and take their house destroyer creatures back.

Now, looking at this pack of mutated huskies, he couldn’t help but wonder if taking them in was even an option.

While he and Moon Baein were talking, the group of Cryo Wolfs with Husky hearts and Samoyed exteriors began to grow restless.

Kim Haru quickly called them out, "Sit still. Don’t move."

The Cryo Wolf promptly sat upright again and lined up neatly.

See? When huskies were obedient, they could be downright angelic.

Kim Haru asked them, "Are you here to follow me?"

The Cryo Wolf responded with a single bark.

Alright then.

It looked like he’d been adopted by a pack of huskies.

Kim Haru thought for a moment and decided to take them back to his little farm.

At least the abundance of mutated plants there might limit the damage this house destroyer could cause.

When the Pyeongseong Safe Zone Commander heard Kim Haru was planning to take them back to his farm, he let out a small sigh of relief.

"If you need anything, just let us know. If they eat too much, we can send regular supplies of meat. And if you ever decide to…" Pyeongseong Safe Zone Commander made a throat-slitting gesture. "We can help with that too."

After all, by taking in the Cryo Wolf, Kim Haru was resolving a crisis for the Pyeongseong Safe Zone. Naturally, Moon Baein wasn’t going to leave him to manage them alone.

Kim Haru nodded his head in understanding.

At the east gate, he switched to a vehicle driven by the Delta Squad.

The Cryo Wolf chased the car all the way, showing no signs of fatigue.

In fact, they seemed to be enjoying themselves.

They looked around curiously and occasionally stopped for a while to sniff the flowers or explore the area. Their ease at keeping pace was evident.

The window by Kim Haru’s seat remained open the entire journey so the Cryo Wolf could see he was still there.

Through the window, Kim Haru watched the Cryo Wolf frolicking in the snow. Suddenly, he remembered the sled he was working on.

Wasn’t there a ready-made team of sled pullers right in front of him?

His plans for snow transportation were sorted.

Kim Haru was a man of action. As soon as he returned to the farm, he lined up the Cryo Wolf in front of the cabin and began to put the collars and leashes around their necks one by one.

"You didn’t come here for free food and lodging," he told the Cryo Wolf while patting their heads. "From today, you’re on my draft team. The sled isn’t ready yet, so for now, you’ll wear these to get used to them. If anyone loses their leash, you’ll miss a meal. One leash lost, one meal gone."

The Cryo Wolf bounced around cheerfully, clearly not taking his words seriously.

Kim Haru didn’t mind. They’d understand when it was time to eat.

To better differentiate between the Cryo Wolf, Kim Haru gave each one a name. Staying true to his usual style, he decided to number them based on their status within the group: Snowball No. 1, Snowball No. 2, Snowball No. 3, and so on, up to Snowball No. 11.

He also grabbed a pair of scissors and gave the Cryo Wolf a makeover.

He trimmed their fur to expose their eyes, noses, and mouths and added a visible line around their necks for clarity. As for their limbs—well, his grooming skills weren’t up to the task, so he left those alone.

In the end, the eleven Cryo Wolfs now looked like a combination of big and small snowmen. If they stood upright, added hats and scarves, and stuck in some tree branches, they could easily pass for snowmen.

The ones with patterns on their fur were washed clean, and each dog had its number—er, name—written on it.

Finally, Kim Haru let the pack of these house destroyers roam free.

After all, there was no way they could tear down an entire forest.

After the Cryo Wolf disappeared into the forest, Go Okrim curiously walked over and asked, "Kim Haru-hyung, are they going to live here from now on?"

"Yes." Kim Haru nodded. "They’ll help us pull carts in the future. They’re a breed suited for snow-covered terrains. Can you look for a suitable spot for them to stay?"

Kim Haru had noticed the option for doghouses in the system’s building menu. When the Cryo Wolf arrived, the icon immediately lit up, confirming its availability. After all, having a few dogs on a farm—whether for guarding or herding—was only natural, and a doghouse was a logical addition.

The only question was whether the system’s doghouses would be large enough to accommodate so many big dogs.

In the end, Kim Haru and Go Okrim decided to place them near the unused plot of land by the pond. During the winter, that area remained unplanted, and the snow was left untouched, making it an ideal playground for the dogs.

Their small farm didn’t really need guard dogs anyway.

As expected, the system’s doghouses couldn’t fit all eleven Cryo Wolfs. However, they weren’t too small either—each doghouse could comfortably house two Cryo Wolfs. Kim Haru built an entire row of six doghouses, spending 12,000 gold coins and 600 units of wood. The leader of the Cryo Wolf, Snowball No. 1, claimed a house all to himself, while the others paired up.

Having spent such a significant amount, Kim Haru was already brainstorming how to utilize the Cryo Wolf’s labor to generate profit.

At the very least, he needed to earn back that 12,000 gold coins!

The Cryo Wolf adapted well to the cold winter.
