Intelligence. Information. Control. That was where its true strength lay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Joel did not care when people left his base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who departed rarely made it far.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Intercepted midway and dragged back in chains, they became experimental rats, bait placed on the chopping board, waiting to be slaughtered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of its prime location, Moon Base never lacked visitors. Food was abundant. Security was calculated. Everything was under control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were only a few loyal soldiers left under his command, men he had hired long before the apocalypse ever began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, they stood as the final human wall between Moon Base and the endless tide of zombies outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their boots were always stained with dried blood, the air around them reeking of gun oil and decay, yet they remained unmoving, like rusted nails hammered into the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that was how Joey’s determination to get Ivy into his base never wavered. He was assured that he had people to protect him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hannah, however, felt a sharp sting of disbelief coil in her chest. She let out a quiet scoff, her fingers tightening against the armrest as she leaned forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you even hear yourself?\" she said, her voice carrying a restrained edge. \"There are countless people protecting her. Kidnapping Ivy isn’t bravery. It’s stupidity.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Joey did not look offended. Instead, a slow smile crept across his lips, the kind that made Hannah’s skin prickle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As long as you can move the follower you already have,\" he said calmly, \"the rest becomes simple. Provoke Ivy. Draw her out. Once she’s isolated, taking her will be effortless.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hannah froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The meaning behind his words sank in like cold water poured down her spine. ’Arthur.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was suggesting using Arthur as bait, slowly leading Ivy away from the base’s protection. Once Ivy stood alone, vulnerable, everything would end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes flickered, a storm of emotions churning beneath the surface. It wasn’t that she wanted to protect Ivy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quite the opposite. Hatred had been etched into her bones since their college days. Ivy had always stood higher, brighter, untouchable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’She took everything from me.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So when Joey revealed that he shared the same goal, capturing Ivy and experimenting on her, Hannah felt a twisted sense of satisfaction bloom in her chest. Still, her survival instincts screamed warnings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This plan is full of holes,\" Hannah said sharply, shaking her head. \"It won’t work so easily.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She paused, then added more slowly, \"Unless... Arthur is involved.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Joey’s eyes gleamed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The real problem,\" Hannah continued, her brows knitting together, \"is how to lure Ivy to Arthur alone. He can’t just stroll up to the base and demand a meeting. There has to be something Arthur has... something Ivy wants badly enough to take the risk.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she voiced her thoughts, Joey’s smile widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She really is sharp,\" he murmured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reached into his coat and pulled out a folded sheet of paper, placing it on the table with deliberate care, as though he were unveiling a priceless treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hannah’s gaze dropped to it instantly. \"What’s this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"While investigating Ivy,\" Joey said smoothly, \"I learned something interesting. Ivy extremely curious about a man named Damien.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hannah’s eyes narrowed. \"Go on.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ivy isn’t just curious,\" Joey continued. \"She’s hunting him. She wants him dead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That revelation made Hannah’s breath hitch. Still, confusion lingered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And?\" she pressed. \"What does that have to do with us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Joey chuckled softly. \"You already have someone close to you who’s connected to Damien.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realization struck like lightning. ’Arthur...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before she could speak, Joey added, \"Angelina, Arthur’s sister, was Damien’s fiancée.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything snapped into place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If Arthur appears to know Damien’s whereabouts,\" Joey said, his tone almost casual, \"then Ivy will come. Alone. Because Angelina’s connection makes it believable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hannah felt a chill creep along her arms. This man had anticipated every angle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And what makes you so sure she’ll agree?\" Hannah asked, forcing her voice to remain steady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Joey laughed lightly. \"If you have a better plan, I’m listening.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence stretched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hannah finally shook her head. \"I don’t.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, she was already halfway convinced. Rationally, she knew provoking Ivy was like touching a dead fish, dangerous and pointless. Yet hatred drowned out logic. She had despised Ivy since college, ever since she realized Arthur loved Ivy and would never love her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That resentment had only deepened when Hannah discovered how far above her Ivy truly stood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, an opportunity lay right in front of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Even if this alliance doesn’t last,’ she thought coldly, ’as long as Ivy falls... it’s enough.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hannah turned slightly. \"Alright, let’s go with your plan. But let me be clear: if I sense danger I will back out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Joel smirked and immediately stepped forward, scanning through the plan Hannah had finished reviewing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes widened briefly before she looked up at Joey with clear admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This plan... it’s solid,\" Hannah said. \"I’ll cooperate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Joel nodded in satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hannah stood up, the chair scraping softly against the floor. \"I have to leave now. If we delay, this won’t be executed by tomorrow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Joel inclined his head. \"As long as this succeeds,\" he said, his gaze lingering on her, \"I won’t forget your contribution.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hannah gave a faint nod and walked out without looking back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the door closed, Joel’s expression hardened. His gaze lingered where Hannah had stood moments earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She’s dangerous,\" he murmured. \"Like a fox.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From everything he had observed, Hannah possessed a seductive power that felt unnatural, almost like a fusion between a human and a mutated fox.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a brief moment, the thought of experimenting on her crossed his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Later,’ he decided. ’Ivy is worth far more.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as Ivy remained under his control, he could even blackmail SiIvy base for additional food and resources. The possibilities were endless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His thoughts shifted again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Silas...’\u003C\u002Fp>",1029,"2026-06-05T15:12:36.807Z",1,"novelbin.me","0b2b36d1a7b7da3d429d708353a26bcacbcfd5b3a07dad622bad22f1b5af31b7","zombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-chapter-398","zombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-chapter-396",706,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-cover.jpg"]
