Webnovel Author In The Apocalypse World-Chapter 340 : Fuzzball’s Reign Begins

"You guessed wrong. What I mean is, the one who sent the Cryo Wolfs and the Starlight Armored Bug is none other than the Fuzzball who is currently nestled in your arms."

Kim Haru: "!"

"Are you sure?" Kim Haru couldn't believe what he was hearing.

The Ginseng Spirit nodded. "I'm sure. While I haven't fully become a spirit myself, I'm still fundamentally different from these mutated plants. In this area, there's no way I'd make a mistake. Your Fuzzball isn't as simple as she seems."

Kim Haru glanced down at the languid Fuzzball playing with her tail in his arms, his emotions a tangle of complexity.

He already knew Fuzzball wasn't ordinary.

If she were, she wouldn't have frightened the animals in the safe zone so thoroughly or terrified the Cryo Wolfs to that degree.

However, he had never imagined that Fuzzball was this extraordinary.

Gripping Fuzzball by her front armpits, Kim Haru lifted the fluffy little feline to eye level and locked gazes with her.

"Fuzzball, tell me, were you the one who sent those Cryo Wolfs?"

Suddenly hoisted into the air, the cat's hind legs flailed momentarily before giving up, dangling limp and soft.

Hearing her human's question, the cat nonchalantly meowed a few times in response.

The Ginseng Spirit translated, "She says she was."

Now Kim Haru was completely baffled.

"Fuzzball, you've known I was here all along? If you had the ability to send those Cryo Wolfs and Starlight Armored Bug, why didn't you come to find me earlier? Also, when exactly did you arrive? What's happened since you got here?"

His mind swirled with questions.

Fuzzball, far less thoughtful than her human, realized that the Ginseng Spirit could translate her words and immediately took an interest in the plant.

Stretching out her paws, she tried to drag the Ginseng Spirit closer to play.

Kim Haru intercepted her paws.

"Fuzzball, we're talking about something serious. Play later, okay? Be good."

Fuzzball let out a soft meow, followed by a long string of further meows.

Kim Haru immediately looked to the Ginseng Spirit for answers.

The Ginseng Spirit seemed momentarily taken aback. "...She says she didn't actually know you were here. She didn't just send those few Cryo Wolfs and Starlight Armored Bug."

Kim Haru froze. "What?"

"Fuzzball says that one day she suddenly felt you were here, but she couldn't figure out exactly where. So she sent out all kinds of animals in every direction to search for you. The Cryo Wolfs and Starlight Armored Bug you saw were just a fraction—she typically controls large groups of mutated creature at a time and letting them scatter randomly until they find you."

Fuzzball's abilities obviously went beyond immobilizing others.

Otherwise, she wouldn't exude such an overwhelming presence.

Implanting a sense of direction and purpose into the minds of these animals was a simple task for her.

Thus, wherever Fuzzball went, she commanded groups of animals to spread out and search.

When she noticed that animals sent in the direction of the Pyeongseong Safe Zone weren't returning, she started moving toward that area herself.

"And that's how she found you," the Ginseng Spirit explained, clearly impressed by Fuzzball's strategy. "In fact, she sent out many more animals, but either they weren't lucky enough to pass through the Pyeongseong Safe Zone, or they encountered people who didn't realize they were looking for you and didn't bring them to you."

In the end, only the Cryo Wolfs and the Starlight Armored Bug were fortunate enough to end up in Kim Haru's hands.

Listening to all this, Kim Haru felt his heart grow warm.

"Fuzzball, come here. Give Daddy your a kiss~"

Kim Haru hugged the cat tightly and planting a series of noisy kisses on her head.

He kissed her so enthusiastically that the cat who is overwhelmed, extended her two front paws to push against his mouth.

"Meow~"

Fuzzball called out incessantly.

Afraid of missing something, Kim Haru quickly turned to the Ginseng Spirit. "What did Fuzzball say this time?"

Surely, she was expressing her love for her dad, right?

The Ginseng Spirit barely suppressed laughter. "She said it was incredibly hard to find you, her litterbox cleaner. From now on, you'd better take good care of her."

With the addition of this new feline overlord, the small farm grew even livelier.

At first, Kim Haru and Fuzzball spent a few sticky, affectionate days together, making up for lost time.

However, as the cat became more familiar with her surroundings, her domineering personality began to shine through.

When leaving the house, Fuzzball no longer nestled in Kim Haru's arms.

Instead, it insisted on perching atop Snowball No. 1's head, precisely at the highest point between his two ears.

What could Snowball No. 1 do?

He couldn't fight back—he was no match for Fuzzball in combat and arguing was equally futile.

Despite his massive size, it was utterly useless against the commanding presence of a small cat.

And so, the proud Cryo Wolf was forced to suffer in silence as Fuzzball claimed the "high ground" of his head.

Even the leader of the Cryo Wolfs couldn't stand up to Fuzzball's dominance, so the other Cryo Wolfs didn't dare put up any resistance.

As for the two companions brought by Kang Hose—Luna and Cresent—they were even less formidable than the Cryo Wolfs.

Without needing any persuasion, these two creatures wisely acknowledged Fuzzball as their leader from the start.

Whatever Fuzzball instructed them to do, they did it without hesitation or complaint.

Fuzzball, in turn, exercised some restraint and refrained from oppressing them unnecessarily.

Seeing how quick they were to recognize her authority, Fuzzball accepted them as her subordinates with satisfaction.

The Starlight Armored Bug?

Those were tools Fuzzball had delivered herself.

Naturally, they were fully compliant with their tyrannical feline overlord.

Fuzzball didn't stop there—she even laid claim to the chicken coop, duck pen, and pigsty.

Visiting each area in turn, she asserted her dominance and proclaimed herself the boss of every corner of the farm.
