Iron could be used to make weapons, so Shin Woncheon, who had a Metal-type ability, picked it up without much thought.

That single action was like poking a hornet's nest.

"Run!"

The previously motionless glowing bugs suddenly went berserk, swarming straight toward them! Their attack method wasn't hallucinations or toxins but pure physical force.

When one of these tiny bugs hit a person, it felt as hard as a rock, leaving the team members yelping in pain.

With wings that made them exceptionally agile and their overwhelming numbers, the serene "starry sky" turned into a meteor shower crashing down on them. Only Ra Jinho fared slightly better, but even he lasted just a second longer than the rest.

What made matters worse was that the bugs ignored all forms of ability user defenses. No matter what barriers or shields abilities they used, the bugs passed right through as if they weren't there.

For the first time, the group was left trembling from the onslaught. They couldn't even stand and could only lie dazed in the snowy night.

The iron chunk Shin Woncheon had picked up rolled away, and only then did the bugs begin to calm down. They stopped attacking and simply hovered around the iron, fixated on it.

This reaction gave the team the courage to speculate that the creatures might indeed be Starlight Armored Bugs.

Subsequently, in order to verify their speculation, the group painstakingly got back on their feet and began

Hearing about such miraculous creatures, Kim Haru couldn't help but marvel at the strange wonders of the post-apocalypse world. At the same time, a thought flashed through his mind: *It looks like the greenhouse glass project might actually work.*

Now, all he needed was to find suitable sand. If the bugs could consume the sand, they would excrete glass. After a little bit of processing, the glass could be used for building the greenhouse. There would be no need for him to laboriously figure out how to produce coal or manually fire glass.

"You've all worked hard," Kim Haru said quickly, ushering the group into the wooden cabin to rest. "I really like this gift."

He left the box and the bugs inside as they were for now, and hurried back to the kitchen to prepare a meal.

In the kitchen, Kim Haru had a dual-section hot pot, which could simply be placed on the dining table and plugged in. Without a rich bone broth on hand, he added a mix of spices and poured in plain water. For the spicy base, he blended chili peppers, oil, and various seasonings to make a fragrant hot pot broth, which he poured into one side of the pot.

He arranged thinly sliced meat on plates and set them out on the table. Meanwhile, Go Okrim had already washed a large variety of vegetables, which now filled the table with vibrant colors and freshness.

As the hot pot began to boil, the enticing aroma spread through the cabin. The Cyro Wolf that had been running around outside caught the scent and trotted over, wagging their tails and barking at Kim Haru in a hopeful and endearing way.

"It smells good, doesn't it? But you can't eat this," Kim Haru said, shaking his head. Instead, he prepared a separate meal for the Cyro Wolf—one without any seasoning.
