Auntie!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They turned to see a young man rushing toward them, his uniform torn and soaked with blood. It was Axel... Mika’s best friend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Greta recognized him, her heart lurched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Axel?\" She grabbed his arm. \"Why are you here? Where’s Mika?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Axel’s face twisted, his lips trembling. He swallowed hard before speaking. \"Mika... he’s dead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tears welled up in Axel’s eyes as he continued, his voice hoarse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It happened ten minutes ago.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>................\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the battlefield, Mika had already known he wouldn’t survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The zombies were endless, their claws tearing through flesh and armor alike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood streamed down his face as he fought, each breath burning. ’So this is it,’ he thought bitterly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His sister’s voice echoed in his mind. ’You have to come back.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mother’s worried expression surfaced next. ’I have a bad feeling.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t want to die like this,\" he whispered to himself. \"Not without saying goodbye.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he fought, he spotted Axel nearby, struggling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mika forced his aching body forward and helped clear the path. Axel stared at him in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you doing here? You’re injured!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mika clenched his fist, blood dripping onto the ground. \"I need you to do something for me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Axel frowned. \"What are you talking about?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time Mika reached him, the scratch on his arm had already darkened. He could feel the change creeping in, cold and inevitable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go to my family,\" Mika said urgently. \"Tell them to leave the base. If they don’t leave, I won’t ever come looking for them even if I turn into a zombie.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Axel froze mid-fight, confusion flashing across his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he saw it... the unnatural stiffness in Mika’s movements, the dulling of his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You...\" Axel’s voice cracked. \"You’re turning.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mika smiled faintly. \"I’ll hold them back for now. Run.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Axel shook his head, tears streaming. \"Why? How did you even get hurt?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mika’s smile widened, bittersweet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you don’t leave now,\" he said softly, \"there’s a good chance I’ll become your enemy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Axel clenched his fists, then turned and ran, choking back sobs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>True to his word, Mika threw himself into the horde, making sure not a single zombie chased Axel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Axel reached the base and ran straight to Greta and her mother, delivering Mika’s final message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Greta heard the story she shook her head repeatedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s impossible,\" she cried. \"He promised me he’d come back. He swore it. How could he leave me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mother finally collapsed, sobs tearing from her chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was not just their tragedy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Across the entire base, similar scenes unfolded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People who had been talking, laughing, and hoping just hours earlier were now shambling corpses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One by one, humans lost their consciousness and became zombies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The undead pushed inward relentlessly, and terror spread like wildfire through the military base, swallowing everything in its path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the people were struggling desperately to survive the sudden onslaught, Frank stood inside the command hall with several generals gathered around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The generals’ voices overlapped, sharp and accusing, each one pressing him harder than the last.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You expelled all the strong soldiers. What were you even thinking when you raised the price?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You drove out the entire Blackthorn family its your mistake.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even Deputy Blackthorn resigned days ago.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that the Blackthorn family was completely gone, there was almost no one left capable of holding the base together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only at this moment did Frank truly realize how badly he had miscalculated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I was too arrogant,’ he admitted bitterly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had believed that even without the Blackthorns, the base could last at least six months.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Six months was more than enough time for him to drain every last bit of wealth from it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But reality was cruel. Not only had he failed to rule for six months, he hadn’t even lasted three weeks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in just those three weeks, chaos had erupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a fleeting moment, a dangerous thought crossed his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Could the Blackthorn family be behind this?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The idea made his spine go cold. Yet he dismissed it almost immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Blackthorns had truly wanted to destroy the base, they could have done so long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They would never have waited this long. That realization only deepened his regret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’They were powerful... far more powerful than I wanted to admit.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frank clenched his jaw, recalling how the Blackthorn family had once held back zombie hordes almost single-handedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’And I threw them out.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no time left for regret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He forced himself to focus on immediate damage control, on anything that might delay total collapse, even if only for a few minutes longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elsewhere, the remaining generals had broken off into hushed groups, their faces pale and grim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They whispered urgently, eyes darting toward the doors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’If Frank doesn’t come up with a solution soon, we’ll destroy him ourselves,’ some of them thought coldly. Survival had stripped away loyalty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frank was still scrambling for a plan when a subordinate burst into the room, breathless and trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The main fighting force has responded,\" he blurted out. \"They say evacuation must begin immediately. If we delay any longer, no one in the base will survive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frank’s heart sank. ’Evacuation... already?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had never imagined things would deteriorate to this extent. His vision blurred for a moment as panic clawed up his throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other generals’ faces turned ashen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a word, they scattered in different directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, none of them cared about the civilians anymore. ’To hell with duty,’ they thought. ’Our families come first.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frank was no different. The moment the thought formed, he turned and ran.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His boots pounded against the floor as he rushed toward his family’s mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once inside, he shouted urgently, his voice cracking. \"Pack everything. All the food. All the necessities. Now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His wife and Jade stared at him in shock, fear flickering across their faces as they scrambled to obey.\u003C\u002Fp>",1009,"2026-06-05T15:12:36.808Z",1,"novelbin.me","665cde7330caff8e0f1a4580f98e25d95aa66c2842d218e4bda9bed525168e9e","zombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-chapter-458","zombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-chapter-456",706,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-cover.jpg"]
