Isla’s words were poisonous, dripping with manipulation, twisting reality until Lina genuinely believed that beating Ivy was justified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so, Lina changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She began tormenting Ivy instead. Sometimes, she deliberately handed Ivy food infested with worms, watching with cold indifference as Ivy forced herself to swallow it just to survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy, isolated and powerless, resisted as much as she could, but there was only so much a child could endure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was when Ivy truly understood human nature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’People only act kindly when they think someone is watching.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment they realized no one was paying attention, their cruelty crawled out shamelessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lina was exactly that kind of person. Her initial sympathy toward Ivy had never been pure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was fueled by the belief that she would gain something in return: praise, recognition, a good name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once she realized no one would ever acknowledge her kindness, she discarded it without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, Ivy found the change strange and even tried to talk to Lina, clinging to the hope that things could return to how they were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But time passed, and understanding settled in. Ivy stopped trying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After transferring schools, she never saw Lina again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, hearing Lina’s name once more, Ivy could only think one thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Life is truly unpredictable.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had never met Lina again in her previous life, yet here they were in this one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Ivy entered the prison block and reached Lina’s cell, Lina rushed toward the iron bars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her face lit up with excitement as she slammed her palms against the cold metal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re finally here!\" Lina’s voice rang out eagerly. \"Ivy, get me out of here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She barely paused to breathe before launching into complaints.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This place is unbearable. It’s so hot I can’t sleep at all, and the food is disgusting. I can’t stay here another day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she leaned closer to the bars, eyes shining. \"You remember me, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy offered a faint smile, her gaze calm and distant. \"I remember a girl who used to give me food when we were children.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lina’s eyes brightened instantly, hope blooming across her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Ivy continued, her voice steady and emotionless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I also remember that same girl torturing me later, once she realized there was nothing to gain from helping me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The color drained from Lina’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a long moment, she stood there, staring at Ivy blankly, as if the memories had struck her all at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps she had buried those moments deep inside, clinging only to the fragments of kindness that suited her narrative.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that everything resurfaced, shame crept in. She clenched her fists, her expression twisted with embarrassment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy watched quietly, then smiled softly. \"If that’s everything, can I leave now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lina shook her head frantically. \"No, wait!\" Her voice wavered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m sorry... I’m sorry for everything I did to Martha. I’m willing to apologize properly. Just get me out of here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her desperation grew. \"I never thought I’d end up behind bars just for trying to kidnap her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy let out a short laugh. \"What exactly were you expecting?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lina hesitated, lips pressed tightly together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’So that’s what she thought,’ Ivy realized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She shook her head slowly and turned away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind her, Lina’s voice rose in panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At least give me some kindness in return! Don’t forget what I did for you when we were kids! Even if I turned bad later, I helped you once, didn’t I?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The words kept spilling out, one argument after another, but Ivy didn’t stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>None of it interested her anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had far more important things to focus on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recently, her base required further expansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its area was already nearing forty thousand square meters, yet it still wasn’t enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with new apartments and buildings going up constantly, there were endless lines of people waiting to get in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The extreme heat was approaching its peak, suffocating and relentless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Worry settled heavily in Ivy’s chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The base was stable for now, but she knew better than to relax.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After extreme heat would come another natural disaster. And before that, she wanted to resolve the zombie virus crisis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet a bitter thought surfaced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I can’t just magically eliminate a zombie virus.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For now, all those hopes remained dreams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dreams she could only chase one step at a time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as those thoughts were forming, hurried footsteps echoed through the corridor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A subordinate came rushing toward Ivy, his face drained of color, panic written clearly in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His breathing was uneven, his chest rising and falling rapidly, as if he had sprinted without stopping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Ivy...\" his voice trembled before he could finish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy frowned slightly, instinctively rubbing her temple as a familiar headache threatened to surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Calm down. What happened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He swallowed hard and forced out the words between deep breaths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There’s a fight at the entrance of the base. Two people... no, two groups are clashing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy let out a quiet sigh, fingers pressing against her forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s what the disciplinary team is for. Minor disputes don’t require my attention.\" Her tone carried mild irritation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You shouldn’t rush in here and worry me over something so small.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The subordinate shook his head vigorously, sweat beading along his hairline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This time, it’s different.\" He hesitated, then spoke carefully. \"The people involved are... very close to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Close to me?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without another word, she straightened and followed him, her footsteps quickening as unease crept into her chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A strange premonition tugged at her senses, whispering that this was not going to be simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment she reached the entrance, she almost wanted to bang her head against the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On one side stood members of her own family, the Nightbane family, their expressions tense and defensive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side were members of Silas’s family, their auras sharp and hostile, the air between them crackling with unspoken resentment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The atmosphere was suffocating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Voices overlapped, sharp and angry, until...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ivy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several voices called out at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Nightbane waved at her urgently, their eyes lighting up as if they had just spotted a savior descending from the heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>",1047,"2026-06-05T15:12:36.807Z",1,"novelbin.me","c60fa8417f9d99711f5af14d344f83cbd18ef74fa1bbae8a17bfb63cdadb23cd","zombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-chapter-422","zombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-chapter-420",706,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-cover.jpg"]
