Most would only think about profit. Even if they discovered an antidote, they would never test it freely on people like us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lifted his head slightly, looking at her with deep respect. \"But you’re different.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint, almost reverent expression appeared on his face. \"You’re kind... truly kind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hesitated for a brief second before adding honestly, \"And... I want to follow you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a pause.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...There’s also a selfish reason,\" he admitted. \"From everything I’ve heard, you are someone worth trusting. If I stay under your protection, my family will never have to worry again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy frowned slightly, her gaze sharpening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"First of all,\" she said, her tone firm, \"stand up. Otherwise, I’ll feel like you’re trying to make me uncomfortable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mika immediately stood up. Seeing that, Ivy let out a faint sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for saving people and the antidote...\" she continued, her voice calm again, \"that’s nothing special. It’s simply what a representative of this base should do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she looked at him directly. \"Now tell me,\" she said, her tone carrying a clear hint, \"is there anything else?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mika straightened. \"Yes,\" he said seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He met her gaze without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Before I turned fully human... when I was still... a zombie...\" he paused briefly, choosing his words carefully, \"I heard something.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy’s expression subtly stiffened. \"What did you hear?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mika’s voice dropped. \"The Zombie King... is planning to march on the Silwee Base.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room fell silent. \"...What?\" Ivy’s pupils shrank slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He plans to bring hundreds... maybe thousands of zombies.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A heavy tension filled the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy frowned deeply. ’A large-scale attack...?’ she thought, her mind racing. She had expected trouble, but not something of this magnitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why?\" she asked, her voice colder now. \"Why would he target this base?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mika hesitated. \"That... I’m not completely sure,\" he admitted. \"But... I think it’s personal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy’s eyes narrowed slightly. \"Personal?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mika nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A few times, I heard him muttering...\" he said slowly, recalling those fragmented memories, \"that he wanted to destroy the SiIvy Base completely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused. \"It didn’t sound strategic... it sounded like a grudge.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy fell silent. ’A personal grudge against me...?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had never openly antagonized any Zombie King. At least... not directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then, a thought flashed through her mind. A faint smile slowly formed on her lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked at Mika. \"You’ve given me something very valuable,\" she said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mika blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As a reward,\" she continued, \"I’ll grant you and your family permanent housing within the base.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, Mika froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Permanent... housing?\" he repeated, almost unable to believe it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then his face lit up with uncontrollable excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By now, he understood what that meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Owning a house here was not just about safety; it was an investment in a future that was bound to prosper. Even though the apocalypse still lingered, this base was advancing rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’When everything ends... this place will become priceless...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His heart pounded with gratitude. He bowed deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you... thank you so much!\" he said repeatedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy simply waved her hand lightly. \"It’s fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Mika left, her expression immediately turned serious. She contacted Martha without delay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We need to prepare,\" she said. \"I’ll share the details.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plans began forming rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.........................\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, far away from the base...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silas was facing a completely different struggle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was making his way toward the cave location that the mysterious voice had told him about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, he had doubted it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This could be a trap...’ he had thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the moment he stood before the cave, his doubts shattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entrance looked exactly as described, dark, jagged, and ominous, as if it were swallowing the surrounding light itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...So it’s real,\" he murmured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped inside. The deeper he went, the heavier the air became.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then suddenly... A surge of power rushed into his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silas’s eyes widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His veins throbbed, his heartbeat accelerating violently as energy coursed through him like a raging river.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...What is this...?\" he whispered, both terrified and exhilarated. ’This... this is what I’ve been searching for...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just as quickly, realization struck him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There’s a condition...\" he muttered, his expression darkening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He needed to consume the vegetable grown in Ivy’s personal space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His jaw tightened. Since he had only come to confirm the cave’s existence this time, he didn’t hesitate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’re leaving,\" he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him stood his subordinate, along with Henry and his colleague.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They turned to exit the cave. But the moment Silas took a step forward...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The atmosphere changed. The temperature dropped abruptly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A chilling cold wrapped around them, seeping into their bones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry shivered violently, rubbing his hands together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why... is it getting colder?\" he muttered, his breath turning faintly visible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And something unseen... seemed to be watching them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Henry’s words, Amelia frowned slightly, her brows knitting together as a cold gust brushed past her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s strange...\" she murmured, her voice low and uncertain. \"From what I remember... when we left the base, the temperature wasn’t this unstable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hugged her arms unconsciously, trying to preserve what little warmth remained in her body. The air felt wrong, unnaturally sharp, as if tiny needles were pricking against her skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At first it was dropping... then suddenly it rose... and now it’s dropping again...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snow continued to fall, thick and relentless, covering the ground in a suffocating white blanket. Each step they took crunched loudly, the sound echoing eerily in the vast silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silas slowed down, his eyes scanning the surroundings carefully. Then they saw it. A shadow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It stood at a distance, faint and blurred through the falling snow, yet unmistakably watching them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, everyone froze. ’A survivor?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry’s expression softened almost immediately. Being the warm-hearted person he was, he raised his hand and called out loudly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey! If you’re trying to survive, come with us! You don’t have to stay out there alone!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice echoed into the snowy emptiness. But the shadow didn’t move. Not even a step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry frowned slightly. \"...That’s odd...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes narrowed as unease crept into his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>",1029,"2026-06-05T15:12:48.008Z",1,"novelbin.me","28928b4de91775f5ed2120235ecb7dd1529112ce18e4ca1181175a61190a5044","zombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-chapter-575","zombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-chapter-573",706,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-cover.jpg"]
