Snorts. Hooves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silas’s body stiffened, and in a low, commanding voice, he whispered,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hide. Everyone... behind the trees, now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without waiting for them to react, his arm instinctively reached for Ivy and pulled her behind the broadest trunk in sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His grip was firm but not rough, and for a second, Ivy’s breath hitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her heart thumped rapidly, not from fear, but from the heat of his touch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One by one, the rest quickly ducked behind the trees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rustling grew louder until a herd of boars burst into view, galloping westward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their tusks gleamed slightly under the patches of sunlight that slipped through the leaves. Dust and dried twigs flew into the air as their feet drummed the earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone held their breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, the herd vanished into the western woods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silas stepped out from behind the tree, scanning the surroundings. \"Boars,\" he muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s good. Let’s adjust the plan. Henry, Chloe, go to the right ridge. You’ll flank from above if they double back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amelia, go with Ivy and me... We’ll take the clear path. Boars usually stick to the lower terrain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each member reached for their weapon, a custom tranquilizer rifle designed for animals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn’t kill, but within seconds, it could knock out a mid-sized beast and keep it unconscious long enough for capture or relocation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy’s hands remained empty. She hadn’t received any.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she looked toward the others, unsure of what to do, Silas turned and handed her the spare rifle from his backpack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Here. Use mine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry’s face darkened. His voice trembled with barely restrained anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait... that one. You told me it was lost. You said you dropped it near the west fence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silas didn’t look at him. \"I did.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry’s jaw clenched, his pride wounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before the words could spill out, Amelia stepped in. She gently touched Henry’s elbow and whispered, \"Not now. Please.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry held his tongue, but his thoughts boiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Again. Again, he’s picking her. That manipulative girl. Doesn’t he see what she’s doing? She’s weak, she’s trouble. She doesn’t deserve that gun. I asked for it yesterday. My rifle’s jammed once already. He lied... just for her. Is he blind?!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at Amelia beside him, her eyes pleading silently. He sighed, forcing himself to stay quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the group split and ready, they advanced cautiously toward the sound trail left by the boars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn’t take long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They spotted the boars gathered near a dried-up stream, scavenging and digging at the earth for roots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following Silas’s signal, they raised their rifles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pfft. Pfft. Pfft.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each shot was clean. Silenced. Accurate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within seconds, three of the largest boars collapsed to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were still more than 10 or so boars left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silas moved forward, crouching behind a fallen log.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He peered at the remaining boars rummaging near the dried stream, then gave a quick signal with two fingers. It was time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another round of tranquilizer darts flew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe hit one in the shoulder. Henry grazed another, and it took a moment before it stumbled to the side, dizzy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Ivy...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy didn’t hesitate. She steadied her breathing, locked eyes on a boar charging slightly to the left, and pulled the trigger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pfft.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dart was embedded cleanly behind its ear. The beast didn’t even manage a grunt before its knees buckled and it slumped to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A second dart. A third. One aimed low beneath the ribs. Another across the snout. Every single shot—swift, silent, effective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In less than a minute, Ivy had downed four boars on her own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry stopped mid-reload, blinking in disbelief. \"Wait... did she just—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe lowered her rifle, watching Ivy’s movements closely. \"How...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Amelia was stunned. She’d seen Ivy flinch even at the sound of a footstep... but this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silas stood still, eyes trained on Ivy, who was calmly reloading her dart canister. No tremble in her fingers. No hint of panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was only quiet precision in her posture, as if her hands knew what to do long before her mind gave the command.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy finally noticed the silence. She looked up, confused. \"Why are you all looking at me like that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry:!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amelia:!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe:!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’She is a monster!’ They all thought simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>",734,"2026-06-05T15:12:36.528Z",1,"novelbin.me","a221e33b5a47e8f19699b3b4084478186e7ea49649dc146080092e35e7259771","zombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-chapter-14","zombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-chapter-12",706,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-cover.jpg"]
