She led specialized scavenger groups that searched hospitals, abandoned factories, and storage depots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Entire truckloads of machines had been transported back piece by piece.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of that foresight, the base now possessed enough diagnostic equipment to detect even complex illnesses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the humming scanners and blinking monitors, Ivy felt a surge of gratitude. ’If we hadn’t done this... we would never have known about Ember’s condition.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the results came out, everyone leaned forward anxiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tumor had shrunk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had not disappeared completely, but its size had reduced drastically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Relief washed over Ivy like a wave. It was proof that Alana’s ability was working.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She immediately turned to her. \"Continue the treatment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alana nodded without hesitation. \"I will.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While this small victory brought celebration to one side of the base, another part of the operation was facing a very different challenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jay stood inside the research wing, staring at the latest reports spread across the metal table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The full antidote for the zombie virus was nearing its final testing phase. Months of effort, failed trials, and dangerous experiments had led them here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when the latest results arrived, the atmosphere in the lab turned grim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had not created a complete cure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What they had produced instead was something... incomplete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pseudo-antidote.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was called \"pseudo\" for a reason. When administered to a zombie, it did not restore the body fully, nor did it reverse the infection entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For five minutes, the zombie regained rationality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five minutes of awareness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five minutes of humanity trapped inside a decaying body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though it was not a complete cure, it at least gave the researchers an opportunity to understand what the infected truly experienced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pseudo-antidote allowed a brief window of awareness, a fragile moment where the fog inside the zombies’ minds cleared just enough for communication.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To test it properly, the research team began controlled experiments using the zombies that had been captured and transported back to the base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The results were far more enlightening than anyone had expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They discovered that transformation into a zombie did not completely erase human consciousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was not like death, nor was it an endless blackout. Instead, awareness flickered irregularly, like a dying candle struggling against the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During most of their wandering, the infected existed in a hazy state, neither fully conscious nor entirely gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But whenever they saw a human, something twisted violently inside their perception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their instincts surged forward, overriding reason, and they began to view the person not as another human being, but as food, delicious, irresistible food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One restrained zombie, after receiving the pseudo-antidote, trembled as it spoke in a broken voice,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... I knew... but I couldn’t stop... everything smelled like meat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was not just one account.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many of the revived subjects described the same horrifying sensation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were aware at moments, trapped inside their own bodies, watching themselves hunt, unable to resist the overwhelming urge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The testimonies forced the entire research team to reconsider their understanding of the infection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The antidote was no longer just a medical goal. It had become something closer to liberation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the research continued and Ember underwent repeated treatments, Ivy turned her attention to something else, the upgraded temporal storage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wanted to see the changes herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment she entered, she stopped in her tracks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, the space had been bright, but now it was radiant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunlight filled the environment completely, bathing everything in a gentle spring glow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air carried a soft warmth, neither hot nor cold, and a faint fragrance like blooming flowers drifted through the breeze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt less like a storage dimension and more like stepping onto a peaceful island floating beneath a painted sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>White clouds moved lazily above, and an artificial sun illuminated everything, though the source of the light itself was nowhere to be seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This... is storage?’ Ivy thought, stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She tested the building function.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want to construct a structure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A response immediately echoed around her, calm and mechanical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[How many floors would you like to build?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy blinked. \"What is the current limit?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[There is no limit at this time.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, Ivy nearly jumped in surprise and excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just as quickly, the system added another clarification, and her enthusiasm deflated slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Only upto 10 floors though.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, it was still an enormous upgrade compared to before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trying to calm herself, she asked, \"What about multiplication capacity?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Items may now be multiplied up to one hundred and fifty times.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy nodded slowly, absorbing the information as she continued exploring. Then she asked, \"Are there any new features I should know about?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[There is a significant change. Previously, living creatures could not be raised within this space.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy immediately understood why that mattered. Before, even if fish were stored here, they would never reproduce. They could only be preserved and taken out. Growth had been impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You may breed living beings within the temporal storage. Agricultural cultivation is also permitted.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy’s eyes widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can grow vegetables here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Confirmed.]\u003C\u002Fp>",1000,"2026-06-05T15:12:45.860Z",1,"novelbin.me","caed7ee4f5eb7b97f263e84a5088f943492dfaab7db691d0dc46850b5588476b","zombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-chapter-536","zombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-chapter-534",706,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-cover.jpg"]
