Webnovel Author In The Apocalypse World-Chapter 401: Final Wave

Above the safe zone walls, a massive owl spread its wings, acting as a perfect aerial fortress.

On its back stood the leaders of various safe zones, including Moon Baein, the Pyeongseong Safe Zone Commander.

With Moon Baein at the center, all personnel movement and battle commands were coordinated from this vantage point.

The aerial perspective allowed for a full view of the battlefield, significantly reducing communication delays.

Beside the owl, a designated signaler rapidly waved the flags, ensuring that every command from above reached the ability users below without delay.

Kim Haru stood atop the central district's main building, gazing into the distance.

Everyone had urged him to remain in a safe location and insisting that even the owl's back was not a suitable place for him.

Kim Haru didn't argue at a time like this.

He quickly agreed and assured them that there was no need to assign guards for his protection—he had Fuzzball, and that was enough.

Although Fuzzball was originally part of Kim Haru's plan to help fight against the zombie horde, it knew better than anyone how ordinary its poop-shoveling human was.

No matter what, it refused to go and protect other unfamiliar two-legged creatures and clinging tightly to Kim Haru.

Understanding Fuzzball's feelings, Kim Haru naturally didn't force it.

The others also knew what this snow-white little cat truly was.

With it by Mr. Kim's side, they felt much more at ease about his safety.

At this moment, Kim Haru was holding the binoculars left behind by Moon Baein, observing the battlefield.

"It looks like something else is coming?"

At the far end of his vision, a dense black mass appeared once again, and this time, it was coming from the sky.

Kim Haru's heart tensed.

The white cat perched on his left shoulder glanced in that direction, flicking its tail and meowing.

On his right shoulder, the Ginseng Spirit, taking advantage of the fact that no other humans were around, openly sat on his shoulder.

"They're zombie birds," the Ginseng Spirit translated the white cat's words.

"Don't worry too much. That giant owl knows how to evade them," the Ginseng Spirit reassured him, sensing what Kim Haru was worried about.

It reached out a ginseng tendril and patted him lightly.

Indeed, Kim Haru was worried about the owl and the people riding on its back as it flew through the air.

However, they should have countermeasures in place, right?

Sure enough, Kim Haru soon saw through his binoculars that the owl had started moving.

It first delivered the people on its back to a designated building—an alternative command post near the safe zone walls.

Then, following human instructions, the owl swiftly flew around, carrying something in its claws and setting it up in the air.

Looking closely, Kim Haru realized it was an intricately woven net.

The net was made of the same ramie fibers he had previously used to weave fishing nets.

After successfully growing ramie on his small farm, Kim Haru had handed it over to the plant research institute to determine a reasonable planting area.

The plant's resilience was remarkable, and it absorbed fertilizer incredibly quickly, maturing wave after wave with an overwhelming yield.

Soon, the entire safe zone no longer had to worry about running out of rope.

Kim Haru hadn't paid much attention to the matter after that.

Seeing this massive net now, he felt much more at ease.

Even though he couldn't personally step onto the battlefield to help, everything he had cultivated and all the mutated plants and animals he had connected with were playing crucial roles in this battle.

As expected, the dense swarm of zombie birds crashed into the net.

Whatever had been installed in the net caused massive arcs of electricity to surge through it, zapping the zombie birds until they fell to the ground, unable to take flight again.

Waiting below the net were the people who are ready for the battle.

However, a single net wasn't enough to completely stop the entire zombie bird swarm.

"It looks like the already-mutated zombie animals are being drawn in too. The final wave of attacks will only get stronger," the Ginseng Spirit noted.

It didn't need binoculars to see the battlefield up ahead.

Kim Haru had already noticed that many ability users looked utterly exhausted.

This zombie horde had started its assault at dusk yesterday and had continued into the morning.

The ability users in the safe zone had rotated countless times, replenishing their energy only for it to be drained again, over and over.

He even overheard people in the logistics department worrying that some ability users' energy pathways might be in danger if this continued.

"Is there no way to completely put an end to this zombie horde?" Kim Haru asked.

The Ginseng Spirit didn't know much about zombies, so both he and Kim Haru turned to look at the white cat.

The white cat, which had always remained unbothered by these strange, rotten two-legged creatures, tilted its head and began to think.

After a long moment, Fuzzball finally meowed a few times.

The Ginseng Spirit translated: "Zombies are highly hierarchical. If you find and eliminate the highest-ranking one in this horde, the rest will fall."

Kim Haru fell into thought.

At the same time, this method was also brought up on Moon Baein's side.

As humans who had already fought off multiple zombie hordes, every safe zone was well aware of this tactic.

However, as the zombie horde grew fiercer, it became clear that merely defending was no longer a viable solution.

This strategy was quickly put on the table.

The question was—who would go?

Chung Hwangeun of Pyeongseong Safe Zone took the lead, and the other safe zones were just as generous, sending their strongest ability users to join the fight.

Since the start of this battle against the zombie horde, Pyeongseong Safe Zone and the other safe zones—excluding Haneulsae Safe Zone—had developed an increasingly seamless cooperation.

Though nothing was explicitly stated, everyone knew that the cooperation discussed earlier would no longer be a problem as long as they successfully repelled this wave of zombies.
