Chapter 331 - 331: Signs of a Threat
An earthquake?!
Both Moon Baein and Kim Haru were stunned.
"Are you certain? All the animals are acting abnormally? Notify the patrol team to be on high alert immediately. Also, where is Director Do Seungjin?" Moon Baein demanded urgently.
The messenger shook his head. "Director Do is currently trying to calm the animals. The earthquake theory is his speculation—he's not entirely sure. Also, not all the animals are showing abnormal behavior. The black pigs, ducks, and some of the larger animals in the facility are reacting, but the mutated bugs are unaffected, and there's no unusual activity observed in the fish."
Kim Haru and Moon Baein exchanged glances, both breathing a small sigh of relief.
"Tell Director Do to note which direction the animals are reacting most strongly toward. This should be not an earthquake. I'll gather some people and bring Mr. Kim along shortly."
"Yes, Sir!"
The messenger immediately turned around and ran off.
Moon Baein turned to Kim Haru. "Based on the current situation, it's likely that some creature in a particular direction is causing these animals to feel threatened. See if you can get more details from your Cryo Wolf. I'll go and gather our team."
Kim Haru nodded. "All right, be quick. I'll wait for you here."
With that, Moon Baein hurried off.
Kim Haru turned back and
Thus, the group cautiously began moving southwest, using the research institute as their center point.
Moon Baein had already instructed the patrol team to alert the residents in the southwestern area to prepare for an enemy attack.
Those who could hide should hide, and those who could run should evacuate.
The residents near the city gates were immediately directed to the public shelter as per protocol.
As the group approached the western gate, the Cryo Wolf accompanying Kim Haru began circling in place and refused to move forward.
Kim Haru patted Snowball No. 1, the leader of the Cryo Wolf, and asked, "Don't you want revenge against it?"
The Cryo Wolf shook their heads in unison.
"Alright then, Snowball No. 1, take the others back to the small farm and stay there. If anything happens, find Little Oakie." Kim Haru didn't force them.
To his surprise, although the Cryo Wolf refused to continue forward, none of them wanted to leave.
They all sat down in place, transforming into fluffy snowballs, waiting right where they were.
Kim Haru chuckled, "Fine, wait for me here then."
After settling the Cryo Wolf, Kim Haru didn't delay it any longer and quickly caught up with Moon Baein and the others.
At the front of the group were the ability users, led by Chung Hwangeun.
Do Seungjin is a level 3 ability user and the director of the Animal Research Institute, he also took the lead.
Besides fighting, Do Seungjin was responsible for identifying the incoming threat and determining its species.
If there was any way to resolve the matter peacefully, that would undoubtedly be the best outcome.
Kim Haru and Moon Baein stayed at the back of the group.
