And then, another disaster struck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The food was stolen again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frank’s hands trembled as the realization hit him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His breath turned uneven, his vision blurring as he stood on the verge of breaking down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Why is it always like this?’ he thought bitterly. ’Every time I gain food... it disappears.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blinded by anger, he ordered an immediate investigation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet even as the orders left his mouth, he knew this path would take time... far too much time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That realization gnawed at him until his thoughts drifted toward an alternative.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Stephan...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The name surfaced like a thorn. Stephan was a Blackthorn too, someone who knew how to hide things in the shadows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frank’s eyes narrowed as suspicion crept in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’If anyone could stash away a quarter of resources without leaving a trace, it would be him,or his family.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with no records to support that doubt, Frank had no choice but to swallow his suspicion. ’Fine. If I can’t prove it, I’ll remove him instead.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That decision settled heavily in his chest, cold and final.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He seized the opportunity without hesitation, issuing quiet orders to his subordinates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Move discreetly,\" his voice carried low menace. \"Raid Stephan’s house.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within three days, the news reached him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stephan hadn’t hidden much food after all, but what he did possess made Frank pause.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deeds, valuables, gold, and assets are far more tempting than a mere quarter of supplies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frank’s lips curled slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’So that’s where your confidence came from.’ Without sparing a second thought, he gave another order. \"Take everything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Stephan finally returned, exhaustion clinging to his bones, an eerie silence greeted him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His chest tightened as panic crept in when he realized that his gold and other property deeds had been stolen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This isn’t right.’ He rushed to the property transfer office, hoping, desperately, that some copy of his original deeds still existed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The truth struck like a blunt blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every property was now registered under a single name: Sean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a heartbeat, Stephan felt the urge to hunt this Sean down, his pulse roaring in his ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the clerk’s next words crushed that hope. \"Sean left the military zone days ago.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rage exploded inside him. His hands shook as realization dawned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I’ve been played.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tried to use his connection to retrieve what he had lost and even told Silas everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result he understood that the person behind this chaos could only be... Frank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frank, meanwhile, allowed himself a rare laugh, low and satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every scrap of information had come together perfectly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Jade’s help, he now holds the property deals firmly in his grasp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet this time, he had no intention of storing food in his own compound. ’That would be foolish.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he leaned back and planned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’SiIvy Base.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would have his subordinates remain there, accumulate more properties under false names, and once the deals were concluded, all the food would be stored safely within SiIvy’s territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, he could shift there himself. As for the military base, he intended to convert it into nothing more than an asset, slowly extracting benefit until it no longer mattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that decision made, he raised the price of food within his base without a shred of hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The consequences were immediate and brutal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hunger hollowed people’s faces, desperation clung to the air like rot, and some began to die quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others recognized the truth, that the base had become a pit of exploitation. One by one, they left, carrying nothing but resentment and fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frank watched them go without remorse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I only need profit,’ he reminded himself coldly. ’Once I have enough, this place means nothing.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so he continued, squeezing every last drop from those who remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elsewhere, Ivy learned of this tangled web of greed and cruelty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the news reached her, she acted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, she expanded her base, the sound of construction filling the air day and night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had once wanted a marriage ceremony with Silas, a quiet moment of happiness amid chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now she shook her head, resolve hardening her gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This is not the time.’ What she saw instead was a golden opportunity to save more lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without regret, she abandoned the idea of marriage and focused entirely on expansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within a single week, everyone waiting in line found shelter inside her base, each given a place to sleep, a corner to call their own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy even allowed people to exchange gold and assets for food; her policies were firm yet compassionate.\u003C\u002Fp>",1032,"2026-06-05T15:12:36.807Z",1,"novelbin.me","054fb47520ca84885e95087a83fdca3755f55f9a93043c58608a407ea2a8ba8e","zombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-chapter-446","zombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-chapter-444",706,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-cover.jpg"]
