And among everyone she knew, Grace stood out the most.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’After all,’ Ivy thought, her eyes darkening slightly, ’Grace possesses the power of teleportation.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Martha looked at Ivy with obvious worry clouding her face. Her eyes lingered on Ivy’s frame a little too long before she finally spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You look like you’ve lost a lot of weight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy instinctively glanced down at herself, brushing her hands over her clothes as if checking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s not true,\" she replied calmly. \"I’ve actually gained weight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even as she said it, a flicker of doubt crossed her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Have I?’ She thought about it for a moment before realization struck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah... it must be the clothes.\" The loose fabric did make her look thinner than she really was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve gained three pounds,\" Ivy added, flashing a small smile as if to reassure her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Martha returned a weak smile, though concern still lingered in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From her perspective, Ivy still looked fragile, almost too light for someone carrying so much responsibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But compared to what she had feared earlier, Ivy did seem a little better. ’Maybe I’m just overthinking,’ Martha told herself, finally nodding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy stood up and headed back to her room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once inside, she closed the door and took a slow look around. The room was quiet, the air still. Even though she missed Silas, she knew that he had gone out because of base matters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, though Silas took a resignation from his duty, he was protecting the base with his utmost sincerity since it belonged to Ivy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about his promise of spending an entire week with her later on, Ivy felt her heart brimming with joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This is perfect,’ she thought. ’I should cultivate.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She sat down and began to cultivate, her breathing gradually steadying as energy flowed through her body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, she felt it, the familiar pressure, the invisible wall pressing against her power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’A bottleneck,’ she thought calmly. ’I assumed it would take at least another month.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to her surprise, her energy surged faster than expected, rushing through her meridians like a raging tide. Her heart pounded as the pressure intensified, and then... something snapped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She broke through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reaching Level 3, Ivy felt her power expand outward, warm and overwhelming, until her vision brightened slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Wow... this amazing,’ she thought, awe stirring in her chest. She was rapidly approaching the peak she had reached in her previous life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, she had achieved her Safe Zone superpower’s Level 3 within just eight months of the apocalypse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’At this rate,’ she calculated, ’I could reach Level 6 within a year.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thought made her smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she began checking her surroundings, a mechanical voice echoed in her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Temporal storage update condition detected. Condition fulfilled. Would you like to upgrade?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy’s eyes widened. \"Upgrade!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Beginning the upgrade, temporal storage will be inaccessible during the upgrade.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Curiosity bubbled inside her. ’What kind of enhancement will it be this time?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, an intense itch spread across her palm. Ivy frowned, staring at her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Now?’ The sensation grew sharper, almost irritating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This is bad,’ she thought. ’If I’d known activation would begin immediately, I would’ve waited.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no stopping it now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She closed her eyes, trying to think of a location, but her mind remained blank. No images surfaced, no familiar places appeared. It felt as if the power itself was forcing her to decide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’So it’s like this,’ she mused. ’Then I should give it a try, what if my instincts are indeed true?Then... I choose the location I am standing now...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment that thought formed, a translucent timer appeared in midair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Ivy opened her eyes, the numbers were already counting down, forty minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her breath hitched in excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked down and froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the ground lay a massive spread of meat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thick, marbled steaks glistened under the light, fresh and tempting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was beef with rich red fibers, tender mutton, juicy lamb cuts, slabs of pork, strips of venison, and even neatly packed poultry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The faint scent of raw meat filled the air, clean and mouthwatering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy didn’t hesitate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She immediately began collecting everything, touching each piece and mentally commanding the temporal storage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One by one, the meats vanished the moment her fingers brushed them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fact that she could still access the storage space during the upgrade filled her with relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She worked quickly, storing as much as she could, her movements efficient and precise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time she finally stopped, the timer had already run out, and every remaining item on the floor disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She exhaled slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I can’t check the storage yet,’ she thought, mentally counting instead. When she finished estimating, her eyes widened in surprise. ’This is at least twice the harvest compared to the vegetables.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It finally clicked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Because I’m only touching and storing,’ she realized. ’No extra movements.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as she placed her hand on an object and thought of the temporal storage, it would be absorbed instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a single second, she could touch more than ten items, allowing her to store massive quantities at incredible speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking a deep breath, Ivy narrowed her eyes. ’Let’s test something else.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wanted to see how much her physical strength had improved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earlier, she hadn’t noticed much change and had assumed her body hadn’t progressed much. But now she understood... each rise in her superpower also enhanced her physical strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She exited her room and entered the training hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bricks and gym equipment filled the space, items she had salvaged over time. Looking around, Ivy felt a surge of gratitude toward her past self. ’Exchanging food for resources was the right decision.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She walked toward a pile of bricks without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>",1028,"2026-06-05T15:12:36.808Z",1,"novelbin.me","0b0d554d4c160ef2bdfcebea1bcdd552ad13dd248a62c93f7046d27680eadd02","zombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-chapter-481","zombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-chapter-479",706,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-cover.jpg"]
