Raymond’s lips curved into a wide grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he opened the bag and counted the contents, his hands trembled slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zombie crystals gleamed back at him, cold and heavy. When he finished counting, his breath caught.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearly five million zombie crystals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enough to live inside the base without worry for a very long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a satisfied smile, Raymond gathered the bag and left. Dragging it, however, proved far more difficult than he had anticipated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The weight pulled at his arms, and sweat quickly soaked his clothes as he struggled across the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Martha watched him silently. She did not offer help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes were cold and unreadable as Raymond disappeared from sight, burdened by the very wealth he had just obtained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For now, she made no move. She simply waited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She waited for Ivy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Ivy returned, Martha immediately presented the transfer documents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Raymond had bothered to look carefully, he would have noticed something strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The name on the deed was not the old man’s. It was Ivy’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy glanced at the documents, her lips curving into a faint, satisfied smile. She put them away calmly, her mind already racing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She thought about how many criminals were hidden throughout the base and how staggering the amount of real estate, gold, and precious items they might be holding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A slow smirk appeared on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It’s time to reap some benefits. And only after gaining the benefits, I will kick them out.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zombie crystals would eventually lose their value once the antidote appeared. Tangible assets, however, would not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lost in thought, Ivy noticed Martha watching her with a worried expression. Ivy immediately smiled and spoke gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don’t need to worry. I know exactly what I’m doing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She paused, then added thoughtfully,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You should also take this opportunity to hoard some real estate, gold, and jewelry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Martha frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Right now, everything is in chaos. No one knows how long the apocalypse will last. Isn’t it a waste to accumulate things like that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy considered her words before replying calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I remember a time in Country C when private businesses were illegal. Back then, gold prices crashed, and even jade was treated like worthless stone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked straight at Martha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Later, when policies relaxed, those same items became priceless. People who hoarded them became millionaires overnight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice softened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The apocalypse will end someday. Even if you can’t use those assets yourself, your children or grandchildren will.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Martha fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more she thought about it, the more Ivy’s words made sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy continued,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Right now, there are almost no investment opportunities. Everyone is focused on survival. If you seize this moment, you’ll gain more than most people can even imagine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Martha nodded slowly, a thoughtful smile forming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You really are smart,\" she said sincerely. \"Thank you for thinking so far ahead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy nodded, then hesitated slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her thoughts drifted to her brother, and she looked back at Martha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There’s something else I want to talk about,\" she said softly. \"Only if you’re not uncomfortable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Martha paused, then replied gently,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As long as you want to talk about it, I won’t feel awkward.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From Martha’s perspective, Ivy was someone who had given her a stable life in the middle of chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A good home, enough food, and work that wasn’t crushing. Compared to her past, it felt almost unreal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was genuinely grateful. Ivy spoke quietly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Give my foolish brother a chance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Martha stiffened, horror flashing across her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you talking about Kael?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Ivy nodded, Martha immediately shook her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can’t. Kael hates me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy interrupted calmly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He doesn’t hate you at all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She paused before adding,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There are things I can’t reveal, but I’m certain of one thing. Kael likes you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Martha froze. She stared at Ivy as if she had heard something impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy smiled softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It may shock you, but the other day, Kael approached you because he wanted to tell you the truth about his feelings.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Martha’s breath caught. Ivy sighed lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My brother is a blockhead. He deserves to suffer for it, and I’m not asking you to forgive him immediately.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her tone turned sincere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All I’m asking for is one chance. If he still doesn’t change, you have every right to ignore him forever.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Martha stayed silent for a long moment, then laughed weakly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You must have misunderstood. Kael would never like me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before she could continue, Ivy cut in gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know because my eldest brother told me himself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Martha froze again. Slowly, she lowered her head and murmured,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How is that possible? I’m not someone anyone could like.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy frowned. \"What are you talking about?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Martha smiled faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know what kind of person I am. I’m too independent. Men don’t like women like that. And it doesn’t matter anyway.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She shrugged lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve never been good at attracting anyone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy looked at her for a long moment, then sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you know how many people have asked me about you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Martha shook her head in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy continued,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"From my perspective, you’re an independent woman who shines wherever you stand. There’s almost nothing you can’t do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice softened further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What amazes me even more is how beautiful you are.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Martha’s cheeks slowly turned red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"An independent woman like you is incredibly charming. People in higher circles would do almost anything just to chase you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing those words, Martha let out a self-deprecating laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound was light, but there was a faint bitterness underneath, like something carefully hidden for years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then why am I still single?\" she murmured, rubbing her fingers together unconsciously. \"If I’m really as you say.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you saying? Don’t you have a boyfriend?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1018,"2026-06-05T15:12:36.807Z",1,"novelbin.me","7972e9d4bec9d704e18d48ad3dc4ac00191f398f6cf1d2f186afe4635506c8d0","zombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-chapter-385","zombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-chapter-383",706,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-cover.jpg"]
