In her previous life, the cold drink Ember had given her. The so-called energy drink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cookies Talia had offered in this life, which she’d eaten without a second thought, unaware they contained milk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each time, her death frequency had been triggered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each time, people around her had been hurt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cold horror seeped into her bones. She looked at Helena, her voice barely audible. \"Mother...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Helena’s expression softened with pain as she spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"During our experiments, we discovered something else. That being could transfer energy to those on the verge of death.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her hands trembled as she continued. \"We extracted his DNA... and injected it into a fetus that was dying.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She met Ivy’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As a result,\" Helena said quietly, \"the fetus survived.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The footage on survival revealed something far more terrifying than mere endurance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those beings displayed intelligence far surpassing that of normal humans, and the sight of it tempted many.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them were parents who had already been cornered by despair, people who would do anything to save their children.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Helena’s voice trembled slightly as she continued, the air in the room growing thick and suffocating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a moment born from selfishness and desperation, mixed with a greed they didn’t dare deny, they made their choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, they extracted a small portion of DNA from the superior being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sterile room, the sharp smell of disinfectant, the faint hum of machines... all of it became the backdrop to a decision that would change everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They injected their own babies with the extracted DNA, clinging to the fragile hope that it would allow all of them to survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it did. Every single child lived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But during the process,\" Victor continued, his voice heavy and hoarse, \"someone made a mistake.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of that negligence, the being escaped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before leaving, however, it delivered a message that chilled everyone who heard it to the bone. It vowed revenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not someday in vague terms, but with certainty and cruelty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It declared that every hybrid beneath its level, every child injected with its blood, would have to die for its vengeance to be fulfilled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One day,\" Helena murmured, \"it promised it would return.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time Helena fell silent, Ivy found herself unable to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her throat felt tight, as though invisible hands were wrapped around it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It feels like I know everything... and yet nothing at all,’ she thought numbly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she forced herself to think more carefully, a slow, creeping premonition formed in her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She lifted her gaze, first to her mother, then to her father, whose shoulders were slumped as if defeat had finally crushed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Were there more children?\" Ivy asked softly. \"Other babies... who were injected too?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Helena nodded. \"Yes. All of them survived.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hesitated before adding,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was a strange coincidence. Many of the researchers involved either had weak children or were pregnant at the time. We never understood why. Maybe it was the higher-ups’ intention from the beginning. Or maybe it was just fate. We don’t know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy nodded slowly, her thoughts racing. Five percent, she recalled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The number echoed in her mind. There was a high chance that every child injected with the deity’s, or that being’s, DNA had undergone a complete genetic alteration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their DNA must have changed so profoundly that they became something entirely different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something unrecognizable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy closed her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, so many peculiar details made sense. Her uniquely pink hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her superpower. Even the way her abilities behaved now felt eerily logical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Maybe this apocalypse...’ her breath caught, ’maybe it’s his revenge.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that were true, then the blood flowing through her veins was also that being’s blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That explained why zombies couldn’t harm her. Why she could resist them. Why they instinctively stayed away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her thoughts leapt again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bella. Moona. Maxi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her chest tightened. They’re connected, she realized. All of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bella had been an orphan. Her parents were researchers who had died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moona and Maxi were orphans too. The pattern was too clear to ignore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The children injected with that DNA were either abandoned, kidnapped, or switched at birth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking a deep breath, Ivy looked at her parents, letting out a soft sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She understood their choices, yet remorse flooded her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’If they had told me the truth in my previous life...’ Her fingers curled slightly. ’So many deaths might have been avoided.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She lifted her head. \"Why are you telling me this now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Helena and Victor exchanged a glance before Helena spoke. \"Because we think you might soon transform completely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy frowned. \"What do you mean?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Helena reached for a report and handed it to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, Ivy barely reacted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Another DNA report,’ she thought flatly. But when her eyes landed on the percentage, her breath hitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had dropped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From five percent to four percent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her hands trembled. How can someone’s DNA change like this? For a moment, she couldn’t even find her voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, she whispered,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is the DNA inside me... awakening something? Is it turning me into something that’s no longer human?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Helena and Victor paused, then nodded, guilt and sorrow written plainly across their faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy pressed her lips together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’In my previous life, they never experimented on me,’ she thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Maybe because we were always on the run. Maybe she had been too broken for them to tell the truth. Or maybe they were simply afraid.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, staring at the evidence, she felt utterly speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I need time,\" Ivy said quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Helena nodded at once. \"We understand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they turned to leave, Ivy suddenly called out, \"Wait.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you decide to tell me because you know about my previous life?\" she asked softly.\u003C\u002Fp>",1039,"2026-06-05T15:12:36.807Z",1,"novelbin.me","ea3ed0fae0d634acbe97d5234653f1b29307e1a96cbdea248642bd69f4f67731","zombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-chapter-400","zombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-chapter-398",706,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-cover.jpg"]
