You can’t stay in the military base anymore. I’ll write a letter for you. Submit it at the front gate, and you’ll be allowed into the SiIvy base you saw earlier. Go there without hesitation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bella had blinked, confused and overwhelmed. \"Why help me...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dante’s expression remained heavy, but his tone softened ever so slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Once you enter the base, inform Ivy... the representative, about your power. She’ll understand your value and arrange a proper job for you. Surviving is your top priority. You’re important. Don’t forget that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bella had felt her throat tighten with emotion. \"You... you’re not using me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dante met her gaze steadily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I wanted to, I could have. I could’ve controlled you, exposed your ability, or forced you to work under me. But I didn’t. I’m sending you away because I know how dangerous the military has become.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Talia nodded, standing protectively near Bella.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Dante continued,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Once you enter the SiIvy base, do not tell anyone else about your power. Otherwise, people will panic, and someone might accuse you of being linked to the zombie virus.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bella understood immediately. If people knew she could influence zombies or make them listen, many would assume she was the cause of the outbreak itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only a few would believe it was simply a power she had gained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She clenched the letter tightly now, staring at the SiIvy base ahead of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I just have to survive... and I hope Miss Ivy will understand.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a deep breath, she began walking forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>................................\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bella finally shook herself out of her daze and handed the letter directly to the guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man took one glance at it, his brows pulling together sharply before he jerked the paper closer, eyes narrowing at the content.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he finished reading, he paused, looked up at her, and gestured toward a plastic chair beside the booth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sit down for a moment. I need to confirm something. It won’t take more than two minutes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bella stared at him, stunned by the sudden shift in tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Why... special treatment? Why me?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until now, she had watched how everyone else in the line was handled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People were constantly being herded forward to receive their rationed food or to buy whatever they could afford... usually nothing more than a handful of stale biscuits or a cup of weak broth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who couldn’t afford anything at all were given small freebies, barely enough to satisfy hunger but enough to keep them from collapsing on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each time someone approached the reception desk, the same routine occurred: a barrage of questions, suspicion-filled scrutiny, and long waiting periods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The interrogations lasted so long that five different receptionists had been stationed there just to prevent the crowd from turning into a stampede.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even then, the line stretched so far back that people had begun arguing and shoving each other just to secure a place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bella had already accepted that she would have to endure the same process... hours of questioning, judgmental stares, fear of being turned away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But instead, she was asked to sit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She waited quietly, hands resting on her knees, feeling dozens of restless bodies shifting in the crowded space around her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sweat and dust mixed in the hot air, sticking uncomfortably to her skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she looked around absently, her eyes suddenly met those of a girl standing far away from the line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl had pale black hair that hung neatly down her back, and she stood with three others: a middle-aged man, a woman, and a young man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment their gazes clashed, the girl’s eyes narrowed slightly, as if evaluating her... or targeting her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cold shiver crawled down Bella’s spine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Why is she looking at me like that...? It feels wrong... dangerous.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She forcibly looked away, fixing her gaze on her clasped fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a shadow loomed over her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bella jerked her head up and froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The same black-haired girl stood right in front of her, now wearing a sweet, almost saccharine smile that didn’t reach her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you here to enter the base?\" the girl asked gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bella nodded, unsure why the girl had approached her at all. Her body stiffened instinctively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black-haired girl smiled wider.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My name is Hannah. I used to live here. But... I offended someone I shouldn’t have, and they kicked me out. Now I have no choice but to camp outside. I’m hoping to meet the representative and explain everything. She’s very kind; everyone knows that. If someone gives me just one chance to enter, I’ll be eternally grateful. I can even pay their rent in the future, truly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bella nodded again, saying nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Why is she telling me all this? Why does it feel rehearsed?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hannah’s smile twitched when she saw Bella remain silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her fingers curled tightly, knuckles whitening before she forced her expression back into sweetness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aren’t you going to say anything?\" Hannah asked, her voice dipped in false warmth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bella hesitated, then responded softly, \"Your situation... is indeed very difficult.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hannah nearly choked on her own fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Difficult? Difficult?! Why didn’t she follow the script?! She’s supposed to offer to help me in! Why is this idiot not playing along?!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her nails dug into her palms, but she kept her face pitiful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As long as you can help me get inside, I... \"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bella lifted her hand immediately, stopping her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can’t,\" Bella said gently but firmly. \"I’m only entering because someone helped me. If I take risks for someone else... who knows what trouble I might cause? I really can’t.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hannah froze. She stared at Bella, disbelief twisting her expression before she let out a dramatic sob.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I only need a little help! Can’t you help me even a little? I’m so helpless right now... Someone kind needs to pull me out of this horrible situation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her pitiful cries stirred the crowd. A middle-aged man standing behind Bella, pot-bellied, tall, and carrying the air of someone who loved drama, looked moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can help you,\" he announced with righteous pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hannah turned toward him but shook her head slowly, pretending sorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>",1026,"2026-06-05T15:12:36.807Z",1,"novelbin.me","bda12ef762b06b9ddcb94b4044ba7e720e50f43657564a4bae7688b201702995","zombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-chapter-355","zombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-chapter-353",706,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-cover.jpg"]
