Capturing them alive was not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hunters struggled. Transporting even one struggling corpse-like creature required coordination, restraints, and risk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was, however, until a strange ability appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A man named Eli awakened an unusual superpower, the ability to knock a zombie unconscious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, the ability had seemed useless. Even if he could render a zombie unconscious, his physical strength was too weak to destroy it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had always required others to finish the job, which made his power seem laughable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But once the new rule took effect, Eli’s ability became invaluable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He began developing what people soon called zombie bombs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These devices, when thrown, released a pulse that instantly incapacitated nearby zombies without killing them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The creatures would collapse into a motionless state, allowing teams to bind them safely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first time one detonated, the dull thud echoed across the ruins, followed by the eerie sight of multiple zombies dropping simultaneously like puppets with cut strings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, transport vehicles began arriving in large numbers at the western side of the base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A separate containment zone was constructed there, reinforced with layered barriers, insulated cages, and mechanical restraints designed to ensure no zombie could ever escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surveillance systems monitored every movement. Locks were checked repeatedly. Armed patrols rotated constantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The security was so tight that even a fly would not have been able to slip inside unnoticed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With these developments, even Ivy’s way of dealing with zombies had changed long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead of eliminating them, she began storing them within Silas’s temporal storage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The storage system did not erase contamination or freeze existence as some assumed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It created isolated partitions, completely separated spaces that functioned independently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Ivy asked whether zombies could be stored safely, Silas agreed, adapting the structure to prevent cross-interference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, an enormous number of zombies were quietly relocated into those sealed partitions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To outsiders, it appeared as if the western containment zone held them all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In reality, much of the load had already been transferred into Silas’s temporal storage, hidden behind what looked like ordinary logistical operations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The arrangement functioned almost like an artificial illusion layered over reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, not everyone could afford the new zombie bombs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this limitation, Ivy devised another idea: expand the wall perimeter and involve ordinary citizens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the defensive walls were extended, even untrained individuals were allowed to participate from safe positions atop the barricades.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using modified crossbows, they could launch zombie bombs at distant targets. After firing their assigned quota, they would leave the cleanup to specialized teams waiting below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The system created an unexpected surge of employment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some people handled bomb loading. Others specialized in retrieval and binding of unconscious zombies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Transport crews moved restrained bodies. Maintenance teams repaired equipment. Entire work divisions formed around what had once been simple hunting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was, in an ironic way, the birth of a new economy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Ivy felt a rare sense of satisfaction watching it unfold. ’If survival must continue, then it must continue with structure.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet while Ivy focused on building a future, someone else sensed that her own power might soon become crucial to the base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For days, she had felt an unfamiliar pressure building within her body, like energy pressing against an invisible barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, she assumed it would take another month to stabilize.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the sensation intensified rapidly. Her pulse grew louder in her ears. The air around her seemed to hum faintly whenever she moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, far sooner than expected...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She broke through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Alana began testing her healing powers again, she immediately sensed that something had changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The energy flowing through her palms no longer felt like a gentle stream. It was stronger now, deeper, like a warm current rising from the earth itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she placed her hand over a wounded volunteer, she could feel more than just the injury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could sense disturbances inside the body, imbalances, weaknesses, things that were not visible to the eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her breath caught. ’This... this isn’t just healing wounds anymore.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She tried again, focusing carefully, guiding the warmth outward. And that was when she realized... She could now cure diseases.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The discovery left Ivy stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Alana reported the results, Ivy’s first reaction was disbelief, but that disbelief quickly turned into urgency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recently, Ember’s health had been deteriorating, something Ivy had only begun to notice through small, worrying details recorded by the household logs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ember had started complaining of stomach pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, everyone dismissed it as menstrual cramps. It seemed ordinary, harmless even. But when the pain did not subside, they conducted a thorough medical examination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The results revealed something far more serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tumor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The word alone filled the room with suffocating silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was worried. Even Ivy, who had faced countless horrors without flinching, felt a chill crawl down her spine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had never known about this in her previous life. Or perhaps... she had simply never noticed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking back carefully, Ivy recalled many moments when Ember had quietly refrained from eating in her previous life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She would refuse expired food no matter how hungry she was, even during times when they had nothing else left. Ivy had once thought her sister was simply being picky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now she understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’She wasn’t being difficult. She was in pain.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if the tumor had once been treated, it must have left hidden complications that were never fully resolved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But regret was useless now. What mattered was finding a cure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that was precisely when Alana arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alana walked into Ivy’s office with a calm but excited expression. \"My power has upgraded. I think... I can cure diseases now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy studied her for a moment, skepticism flickering across her face. Powers evolving so suddenly were never something to trust blindly.\u003C\u002Fp>",1007,"2026-06-05T15:12:45.860Z",1,"novelbin.me","0b7990553fa4c62406ae492d1e43b1464e8b3ac9a7da08967fd18ca5b73c9a2c","zombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-chapter-535","zombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-chapter-533",706,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-cover.jpg"]
