What exactly are you hiding from me?’ Ivy’s mind tightened around the thought like a fist closing around a knife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silas stepped forward, eyes burning with resolve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Should we continue investigating?\" he asked. His stare toward Helena and Victor was sharp, as if he was ready, more than ready, to dig into his in-laws’ secrets if Ivy only nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Helena and Victor held their breaths, their shoulders stiff with dread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy’s fingers curled slightly before she released a long breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She shook her head gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll accept this explanation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room went silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone understood instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy accepted it not because she believed it, but because she wanted to maintain the illusion of peace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Helena and Victor sighed in visible relief. Helena stepped forward, her voice soft but trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’ll tell you the truth when the time is right. Now... it just isn’t.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the family finally left, a heavy silence settled over the room, thick enough that Ivy felt she could almost touch it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silas wasted no time; he wrapped his arms around her with a force that revealed just how terrified he had been.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hold was warm and trembling slightly, as if he were trying to convince himself she was truly awake and not about to slip away again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His breath brushed against her hair as he muttered softly, voice cracking at the edges.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was really scared this time. You shouldn’t keep starving yourself like that, Ivy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy gently patted his back, feeling the tension in his muscles beneath her palms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His heart thudded against her chest, wild and uneven, and it created a strange ache inside her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wasn’t starving myself,\" she whispered. \"I honestly don’t know why I’m not gaining any weight at all. I’ve been eating so much these past few days.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn’t lying. Even though Silas had been consumed with responsibilities, her siblings had practically formed a rotation schedule to cook for her and make sure she ate every single meal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scent of warm broth and freshly cooked rice still lingered faintly in the room from earlier, a quiet reminder that she had been eating well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet her body remained stubbornly thin, almost fragile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It worried her. It embarrassed her. And on bad days, it made her feel unbearably small.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Everyone else looks healthy and radiant, but I still look like a fragile twig ready to snap... what if someone prettier appears one day? What if Silas notices her?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cold, ridiculous fear crawled up her spine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy quickly shook her head, chasing the thought away before it could bury its claws any deeper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last thing she needed was to allow insecurity to poison her sanity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pulled back slightly and looked up at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How are you feeling now? Have you eaten anything yet?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the question left her lips, Silas’s stomach growled loudly, so loud that the sound practically vibrated between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His ears reddened slightly, and he shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I haven’t eaten,\" he admitted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lifted a hand and made a smooth motion through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A warm, fragrant ball of soup materialized in front of them, steam curling upward like soft white ribbons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy blinked, her eyes widening in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you... really just do that now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silas nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy gaped, feeling a ripple of astonishment that washed her insecurities away for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When did you awaken a space superpower? In my previous life, you awakened a healing ability at this point, not space.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silas couldn’t stop the small chuckle that escaped him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I did awaken healing powers,\" he corrected. \"This isn’t a space power. It’s the Temporal Storage.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy’s eyes brightened instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Temporal storage?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silas nodded again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When you lost consciousness,\" he began, his voice low,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn’t panic at first. For two days, I forced myself to stay calm. But on the third day... something inside me snapped. I started investigating everything, anything. I even suspected the Temporal Storage itself somehow harmed you. So I contracted mine, thinking maybe it could help.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint tremble lingered in his words. Ivy imagined him pacing, sleepless, desperate, pulling at every possible thread as fear ate him alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But it didn’t make any difference,\" he continued. \"I even tried asking the Temporal Storage for information, but it stayed silent. Completely silent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the raw exhaustion and helplessness woven into his tone, Ivy felt her heart squeeze painfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She reached out and hugged him tightly, burying her face against his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His scent wrapped around her, grounding her far more than anything else could.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This silly man... from my previous life to this one, he loves me so fiercely that he forgets the world whenever something happens to me.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pulled back a little and met his eyes, curiosity blooming again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So what kind of ability did you actually awaken? How does your temporal storage work?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silas laughed, though a hint of embarrassment fluttered over his expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s nowhere near omnipotent like yours,\" he confessed. \"I really wanted to show it to you properly, but I can’t.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy leaned forward eagerly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you mean you can’t?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silas scratched the back of his neck and finally explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My temporal storage is a downgraded version of yours. Only I can enter. It doesn’t let anyone else inside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy startled at that. A memory flickered through her mind, her own temporal storage in the early days, allowing living beings inside for only five days before the system would attempt to expel them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She murmured, half to herself,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mine used to allow living beings inside for only five days. If yours doesn’t allow anyone except you, then... yes, it sounds like a downgraded version.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silas nodded with a sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s also simple. It doesn’t have a building function like yours. Or maybe it does, but it’s locked. And unlike yours, it doesn’t ask for zombie crystals at all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1044,"2026-06-05T15:12:36.807Z",1,"novelbin.me","28c258735e5314b9ef13d4b14668681d84f74b84dfb482803790ab9c76ad3a7a","zombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-chapter-373","zombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-chapter-371",706,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-cover.jpg"]
