Its milky eyes snapped toward them, nostrils flaring. Then, with a bone-chilling snarl, it lunged forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ember didn’t think. She threw the cardboard aside, grabbed the crowbar, and swung with all her strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The metal connected with a sickening crack, and the creature collapsed... but its scream had already drawn the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The distant groans turned into a chorus. Dozens of footsteps thundered closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy couldn’t see them, but she could hear everything: the heavy steps, the rasping breaths, and the wet dragging of limbs. Her hands clawed helplessly at the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ember! What’s happening?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stay down!\" Ember shouted, her voice raw with fear and resolve. \"Don’t move no matter what!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’No... Ember... let me move...’ Ivy thought desperately and tried to move, but her body refused to hear the command.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Growl!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A loud roar near Ivy’s ear made a chill break through her entire body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"NO!\" Ember yelled, and Ivy felt a warm body engulfing her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Usually, Ivy’s heart skipped a beat in joy whenever Ember hugged, but this time... she didn’t feel any joy. It was this very unfortunate moment that she lost one of her beloved ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And... this was the exact moment that made Ivy question her superpower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her superpower allowed her to hide her presence from the zombies... but whenever her jinx gets activated... the zombies surge toward her like a rabid dog.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahhhh!\" Ember’s anguished howl made Ivy tear up, and she let out a heartwrenching sob, \"Ember, move! Move! Let those bastards come for me...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Ember remained still, protecting Ivy’s frail body with her own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ember! Please! I beg you...ugh...please...ugh...\" Ivy sobbed and tried her best to push Ember away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many zombies had surged to their location and started to stack on Ivy and Ember.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed by, and due to suffocation, Ivy became unconscious. Before fainting, Ivy only had one thought... that if God was there, then... let her become a zombie too. She would rather not live.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet she heard Ember’s last sentence,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little sis, sorry for rescuing you so late. If I have another chance... I will find you earlier and protect you well. Never let Jay know that I loved him, even now. And make sure that he doesn’t wait for me. Tell him I ran off with someone else.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’No... please... no... God! Please don’t let anything happen to my sister... please! I beg you.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Ivy was awakened by the pitch-black scene again; only this time, the sound of her father’s and mother’s sobbing echoed in the abandoned factory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ember... our Ember... how did you turn into a half zombie...\" Helena’s trembling voice cracked, her words breaking apart into sobs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Victor knelt beside Ember’s slumped body, his trembling hands hovering over her, unsure whether to touch or recoil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ember’s breathing was ragged, too slow, and too unnatural.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her veins pulsed faintly with a dark hue beneath her pale skin, and her once bright eyes were now clouded with a faint, eerie silver sheen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dad... Mom...\" Ivy’s hoarse voice escaped her lips as she stirred awake, confusion flickering across her pale face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stench of blood and decay clung to the air, and when she reached forward blindly, her trembling fingers brushed something cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Ember’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ember?\" Ivy whispered. Her voice was soft, almost fragile. \"Ember, it’s me... It’s Ivy...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A low growl rumbled from Ember’s throat... animalistic yet restrained. Her head twitched toward Ivy, eyes flickering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She must have tried her best to resist the virus... hence she turned into a half zombie.\" Helena’s broken sob pierced Ivy’s heart like a knife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She murmured like a woman who had lost her senses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was because of me... she became like this while protecting me. I am cursed... I am a curse... Or else how can I stay unharmed, but my sister turned into half zombie? Silas died while protecting me, his friend died protecting me too, my best friend encountered a huge wave of a zombie horde and almost died too, my eldest brother sacrificed himself for me, and now... my second sister died too...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Helena and Victor froze mid-sobbing, their hearts sinking, before they hugged Ivy and sobbed, \"Baby, it’s not your mistake, you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Ivy pushed them and stumbled far away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t come near me... I caused everything... I might kill both of you, too!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her lifeless eyes were slowly filled with blood tears, the sight so ghastly that Helena and Victor’s hearts leaped out of their chests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ivy! Stop thinking! Stop speaking!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No! No! Ember... Ember became a half zombie. My sister... the only sister who loved me... she became a zombie. How helpless must she have felt? She was trembling with fear, and yet she protected me... she wanted to live, yet... because of me... she became a corpse... just kill me too! I don’t want to live!\" Ivy yelled; the repeated death had severely affected her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Helena and Victor could react, she tried to slam her head on the ground, but the next second, someone knocked her out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister... rest a little.\" The voice was laced with tiredness and sounded a little broken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Please... I don’t want to watch this dream... can someone end this dream... I can’t...’ Ivy thought as a familiar wave of helplessness washed over her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the luck wasn’t on her side, because the next second, she woke up again to the familiar pitch blackness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scorching heat in the air told Ivy that it was only morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mind was disoriented, and she heard the faint discussion between Helena, Victor, and Felix.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If he comes, we will tell him that it was an accident.\" Helena’s voice was laced with fatigue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes. Otherwise... he might hate Ivy.\" Victor sighed helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He dares! How is this even Ivy’s mistake?\" Felix growled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy knew who they were talking about... Jay, Ember’s lover and longtime boyfriend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, the sound of footsteps echoed in the abandoned factory. And it was only then that Ivy realized that Jay had arrived long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>",1007,"2026-06-05T15:12:36.807Z",1,"novelbin.me","893e372d138efe057bf3e01fdbbc67f648cdeeaa6fe4d43a01ad5bc7c5f7bd11","zombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-chapter-249","zombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-chapter-100",706,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-cover.jpg"]
