Webnovel Author In The Apocalypse World

He realized, with a start, that he had crouched right next to one of the corpses, and if he had leaned in just a little further, he would have bitten into it.

Cold sweat ran down his forehead in terror!

Holy crap!

What was he just doing?!

Kim Haru swore that if he hadn't snapped out of it in time, and had actually taken a bite, he might never have come to his senses again.

Who knows when someone would have found him among the wandering hordes of zombies?

He quickly backed away several steps, putting as much distance as possible between himself and the corpses.

He didn't even have time to feel nauseous.

Although his mind had cleared up, the gnawing hunger in his stomach still wouldn't go away.

In fact, as time went on, he grew even hungrier.

His mind was filled with images of duck bulgogi, sweet crispy fried chicken, and stir-fried pork braised.

If it had been yesterday at this time, when he felt hungry, he could've just ordered delivery.

He could get anything he wanted.

But now, where could he even find a delivery service?

He was lucky if he wasn't delivering himself straight to the zombies!

Kim Haru didn't have time to worry about anything else or even where he was headed.

Finding something to eat was his top priority.

This street had clearly been searched by who knows how many people already.

Doors and windows were wide open, so Kim Haru didn't even have to worry about how to pick a lock.

He walked straight into a restaurant.

The tables and chairs inside were in disarray, and bowls and plates shattered across the floor.

At first glance, there was no food in sight.

Kim Haru wasn't discouraged, though.

He had expected the scene to look like this.

After all, this place had been looted multiple times, so there was no way food would be just sitting out in the open for him to find easily.

He wasn't hoping for much—just a little bit of something, anything, to ease his hunger.

Once he managed to take the edge off, he would have the strength to expand his search.

Kim Haru skipped over to the dining area and began carefully searching the cashier's counter first.

Based on his experience, places like cashier counters, which were easy to access, often had some food stashed away.

Since it wasn't out in plain sight, there was a chance the previous looters might've overlooked it.

Unfortunately, Kim Haru wasn't the only one with that idea.

The drawers of the cashier counter, both big and small, had already been rifled through.

Useless items like old account books were tossed aside, while anything of valuable had long since been taken away.

Other than a few stray pens, the drawers were completely empty.

Kim Haru rubbed his stomach, then casually pocketed one of the pens.

Who knows, it might come in handy.

Since the cashier's counter had yielded nothing, Kim Haru moved toward the kitchen.

Just like the front of the restaurant, the kitchen had also been thoroughly ransacked, even more so than the dining area.
