Kim Haru noticed Moon Baein's concern, thought for a mont, and decided to offer a quiet reassurance: "What you're worried about won't happen, so don't stress over it."
At first, Moon Baein didn't fully grasp the aning.
A mont later, his heart tightened.
Could it be…?
Looking more closely at Mr. Kim's expression, Moon Baein beca increasingly convinced of his own suspicions.
Yes, this had to be Mr. Kim's doing!
However, since Mr. Kim didn't intend to reveal the details, Moon Baein was perceptive enough to keep his thoughts to himself.
After realizing that Mr. Kim was the one helping from the shadows, Moon Baein quickly deduced the source of this power.
Most people only knew of Dreamweaver's Osmanthus by na, thinking they would never encounter it in their lifeti, and even Moon Baein himself had taken a long ti after returning from the small farm to realize sothing was off.
Only then did he discover that there had been a highly dangerous mutated plant—one that had consistently ranked number one on the mutated plant ranking list—right there all along!
Even after learning this, he found himself inexplicably overlooking it in the days that followed.
If it weren't for how shocking this incident was, he might never have rembered.
As expected of Dreamweaver's Osmanthus!
As expected of Mr. Kim!
"I understand now. Thank you, Mr. Kim."
Moon Baein solemnly expressed his gratitude to Kim Haru.
Although, in Moon Baein's original plan, the ability users sent to Haneulsae Safe Zone could have still completed the mission, the damage and casualties were unpredictable.
But now, with Mr. Kim's secret assistance, the problem had been resolved at its root, greatly preserving the elite forces of the safe zones!
Mr. Kim didn't want recognition, but Moon Baein could never forget this act of help.
"Huh? Oh, well, as long as everything's fine, I'll be heading out then."
Kim Haru left with slight confusion.
Had he sohow unlocked a "comforting others" skill? How had just one sentence instantly put Moon Baein at ease? The man had been filled with anxiety just monts ago.
Oh well, it didn't matter.
As long as he wasn't worried anymore.
Kim Haru had little interest in the allocation of the Haneulsae Safe Zone's people and land—it was bound to be a ss of troubleso matters.
The only reason he ca to see Moon Baein this ti was to suggest taking in more people.
The Pyeongseong Safe Zone was no longer the struggling place that couldn't even store enough food for winter.
The harvest from the entire spring had been so bountiful that the warehouses were overflowing, and every resident of Pyeongseong Safe Zone had started digging underground cellars to store even more food.
Even the warehouses in Gokmul County had been completely renovated, now packed to the brim.
As for their cooperative partners—the Hamsters' cheek pouches—if they didn't need to reserve space for weapons and other supplies, they would have been stuffed with food by now.
Kim Haru also heard from the small warehouse that the hamsters had already spread the news using their unique communication thods and were calling on their fellow hamsters from other areas to co and work.
After all, who wouldn't love the feeling of stuffing their cheeks full of delicious food?
Even if not all of it was theirs, at least a portion of it would be!
Kim Haru naturally had no objections to the hamsters' actions.
In fact, he wholeheartedly welcod them.
When the others in the Pyeongseong Safe Zone heard about this, they were equally pleased and even put up notices at every entrance to the safe zone, stating that as long as the hamsters didn't initiate an attack, they were to be allowed in freely.
Not only was there plenty of food, but there was also a vast expanse of land in Biryong Plains waiting to be developed.
Now, with the Haneulsae Safe Zone added as a new acquisition, there was no way they had enough labor.
"Farming isn't sothing we need to worry about ourselves. Just leave it to Director Jang Dojung and the researchers at the Plant Research Institute. The next priority should be road construction."
Kim Haru muttered to himself, counting on his fingers.
The road from the small farm to the orchard wasn't the most urgent.
With so many mutated plants in the forest, anyone could lend a hand in clearing that path.
The main focus was the roads between Biryong Plains, the main city of the safe zone, Gokmul County, and now, the newly acquired forr Haneulsae Safe Zone territory.
Haneulsae Safe Zone had originally been an industrially developed area, with well-equipped factories and facilities, including cent plants.
Just last autumn, they had specifically traveled there for trade.
However, at present, aside from the cent factory, most of the other factories had long ceased operations and had been repurposed into residential areas.
Kim Haru wanted to restart so of the suitable factories.
At the very least, they needed factories for fertilizer production and agricultural tools.
When the crop yield increased, they couldn't rely solely on manual labor.
The plans for sugar production from beets, soy sauce from soybeans, and processing various other agricultural products would be far more efficient with the proper facilities.
All of this required manpower.
Kim Haru drafted a simple developnt plan.
It didn't follow any formal structure—just a list of things he planned to do.
Before he even had a chance to bring it to Moon Baein to discuss where to start, the latter had already given him a surprise.
"The nearby safe zones of Ahnhae Safe Zone and Bogang Safe Zone, as well as Geumryong Safe Zone and Cheongsan Safe Zone who are a little bit farther away, have all expressed interest in forming an alliance with the Pyeongseong Safe Zone as the center."
The idea of forming an alliance among several nearby safe zones wasn't unheard of.
However, apart from the one centered around Huimang Safe Zone, no other alliances had lasted long.
