Now that he has recovered his strength, he sent me here, into your base, with another mission.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked directly at Ivy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He wants me to get Arthur out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy frowned, her brows knitting together as a chill crept up her spine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why?\" she demanded, her voice tight with suspicion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Angelina paused before answering, her tone cautious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My parents refused to give him any more human meat unless Arthur appears in front of them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Angelina continued, her voice low, almost apologetic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And if Damien does not receive human meat, he will not be able to continue evolving. That is why he sent me here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy slowly shook her head, unease prickling across her skin like invisible thorns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No... something is wrong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From Angelina’s perspective, the truth had already begun to form like a storm cloud on the horizon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Damien... or whatever is inside Damien... has already taken over completely.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that was the case, him sending Angelina here made no sense at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rather, it felt deliberate, calculated, as if she had been placed here for an entirely different purpose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Angelina glanced at Ivy, curiosity mixing with dread, and soon realized that Ivy had reached the same conclusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, Damien no longer behaved like someone sharing a body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked like someone who had claimed it entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So why,\" Angelina murmured, more to herself than anyone else, \"would that superior being send me here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It certainly was not for something as trivial as human meat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more she thought about it, the heavier the air felt, pressing against her lungs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An inexplicable unease crawled through her chest, and without realizing it, she clasped her left hand tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy was about to speak when her gaze followed that small, unconscious motion. Her eyes narrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly, deliberately, she reached out and pried Angelina’s hand open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Ivy saw the mark etched into Angelina’s skin, her breath caught. Her eyes widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Angelina noticed the reaction immediately. \"What happened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy’s voice dropped to a whisper. \"You walked straight into Damien’s trap.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Confusion flickered across Angelina’s face. Ivy pointed at the mark, her expression grim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This,\" Ivy said, \"is most likely something Damien left on you. A way to control you... or monitor you from afar. By now, he must already know you betrayed him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Angelina’s entire body turned cold, as if icy water had been poured down her back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wanted to deny it, to laugh it off, yet deep inside she knew there was far too much truth in Ivy’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, far away from them, Isla sat upon her throne, issuing commands to the restless zombies that filled her domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chamber reeked of decay and damp stone, a suffocating mixture that had long since stopped bothering her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, she felt a connection snap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a brief moment she froze. Then her expression darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zuzu was dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Impossible...\" she muttered under her breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been one of her sharpest and strongest subordinates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his disguise, he would have appeared completely human, and she had personally devised a flawless method to let him infiltrate the base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no logical reason for his death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more she thought about it, the more suspicion gnawed at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did Ivy discover him?\" she whispered. \"Did she kill him directly?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that was the case, then Ivy was far more dangerous than she had anticipated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This Ivy... is smarter than I assumed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she was considering her next move, one of the zombies rushed forward and dropped to its knees before her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It growled urgently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ila growled back, irritation lacing her voice. \"What is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The zombie responded in broken sounds and gestures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isla deciphered quickly that a stranger was attempting to enter her domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A stranger?\" she repeated, eyes narrowing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The zombie growled again, explaining in its crude way that the intruder was human, yet possessed extraordinary abilities, inhuman strength, speed, teleportation, and even flight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isla was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A human... with so many powers?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was not merely unusual. That was alarming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She leaned forward. \"Does this human intend to attack us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The zombie shook its head, letting out another growl, indicating that the human did not appear hostile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he had spoken strange words... something about a king.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The zombie scratched its head, clearly confused by the concept.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isla, however, understood immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"An outsider,\" she murmured. \"He came to meet me... the zombie king.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who would willingly seek an audience with such a being?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Curiosity overtook caution. Isla rose and walked toward the tall window overlooking the wasteland outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gray light filtered through the cracked glass, painting everything in a lifeless hue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment she saw the figure standing there, her eyes widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damian...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was her brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A wave of joy surged through her, sharp and sudden, though not born from familial affection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She needed help, someone capable of strategizing with her to destroy Ivy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Damian felt like fate delivering her a weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She nearly rushed out to meet him, but then she remembered her current form. Her excitement withered instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’He will never recognize me like this.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her decayed hands trembled slightly. After a moment of thought, she calmed herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I will speak carefully. Ask questions. Give hints. He will realize who I am.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning to the nearby zombie, she ordered, \"Bring him inside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She returned to her throne and composed herself, trying to appear regal despite the grotesque body she inhabited.\u003C\u002Fp>",1016,"2026-06-05T15:12:45.860Z",1,"novelbin.me","75fb9ff746b89e35006aa5e4f1dac4267019d119cb0773fff34b3e1184fd9150","zombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-chapter-525","zombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-chapter-523",706,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-cover.jpg"]
