[Yes.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy froze. \"...You’re kidding me. Why didn’t you tell me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice continued calmly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You often complain that I overcharge you. This function is... expensive. So I chose not to mention it.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy blinked, then suddenly clapped her hands once, half amused and half exasperated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You really know how to play me...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking a deep breath, her expression turned serious. \"I want to know the truth about this apocalypse.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a brief pause. [That will require 10 billion points.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy’s eyes widened instantly. \"You’re robbing me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[That] the voice replied calmly, [is exactly what I was referring to. You accuse me unfairly... even when I am telling the truth.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy clenched her teeth slightly. \"No discount?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reply came without hesitation. [I have already given a discounted price. You won’t get such a chance again.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy hesitated. Just as she was about to agree... a hand tapped her shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She snapped out of her thoughts and turned to look at Silas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you get an answer?\" he asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy quickly told him everything. Silas listened... and then chuckled. \"Give me your hand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy frowned slightly but still reached out. The moment their hands touched...the world around them warped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next second, both of them stood inside Ivy’s Temporal Storage. Silas looked upward, his gaze sharp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Five billion points,\" he said firmly. \"Not a single point more.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence. No response came. It was as if the Temporal Storage didn’t even acknowledge his existence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy tugged his sleeve lightly, whispering, \"You can’t bargain with it...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silas smirked faintly. \"Of course I can.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his voice slightly. \"Mine agreed to 5.1 billion points for this kind of information.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy’s eyes widened. \"Wait... really?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, the Temporal Storage’s voice snapped back...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[He’s lying.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its tone carried a rare trace of irritation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[How could I agree to such a low price? That wouldn’t even cover the cost.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy crossed her arms slightly, narrowing her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’So it was asking for a huge profit...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine,\" she said firmly. \"5.2 billion points. Not a single point more.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence fell again. A long one. Then...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[...Deal.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy blinked. She hadn’t expected it to agree so quickly. Silas glanced at her, a faint victorious smile on his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Too easy.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The transaction completed instantly. Five point two billion points vanished from Ivy’s account like sand slipping through her fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her balance dropped sharply...down to just 4.8 billion KB points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, her heart tightened. But then...notifications flooded in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people she had helped... the lives she had saved...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within just an hour, her balance surged back. 4.8 billion to 4.802 billion!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy didn’t even react. Her attention was fixed entirely on the letter that appeared before her. It hovered silently in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Waiting. She inhaled deeply before reaching out. Her fingers trembled slightly as she opened it. The words unfolded before her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She read again and again until the very last line. Silence followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A heavy, suffocating silence. Her face lost all expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ivy...?\" Silas called softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t respond. \"Ivy... what happened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly, she lifted her head. Her eyes were no longer the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What if...\" she began, her voice quiet yet steady,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...humanity itself is responsible for this apocalypse?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silas fell silent for a moment, his gaze lowered, before he finally spoke in a low, steady tone, \"... I believe you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy didn’t respond immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, she slowly sank down onto the ground, the cold surface pressing faintly against her palms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The apocalypse didn’t just happen out of nowhere...\" she murmured, her voice distant, almost hollow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It might seem unrelated at first... but the timing of everything... it’s too strange.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She lifted her head slightly, her eyes unfocused as if looking through layers of memory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Extreme heat... extreme cold... extreme rain... all of it began when humanity started interfering too much with nature.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her fingers curled slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They tried to create artificial rain... tried to control the weather... even attempted to strengthen Earth’s protective layers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bitter smile flickered across her lips. \"And yet... they never stopped launching rockets into space.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice hardened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They kept piercing through the atmosphere... creating damage... and now they’re desperately trying to fix the ozone layer as if nothing happened.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She let out a slow breath. \"They don’t even realize how much damage they’ve already caused...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without another word, she handed the letter to Silas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silas took it, his fingers brushing against hers briefly before he began to read.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his eyes moved across the lines, his expression gradually darkened. By the time he reached the end, he lowered the letter slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Humanity isn’t innocent,\" he said quietly. \"Not entirely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy nodded faintly. \"It looks like progress on the surface... but underneath, it’s destruction. All in the name of curiosity.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silas’ grip on the letter tightened slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And it says...\" he continued, his voice turning colder, \"that repeated experiments... along with the interference of some superior beings... triggered these disasters one after another.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heat... cold... rain...\" he murmured. \"And who knows what comes next.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy’s gaze sharpened. \"But we can’t ignore one thing,\" she said firmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silas looked at her. \"There’s someone behind all of this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pause. \"...Jeff.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silas’ eyes narrowed. Ivy continued, her voice steady but heavy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He came to Earth long before everything began. He was part of international research teams... pushing forward extreme experiments.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her fingers trembled slightly, though she didn’t notice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He encouraged dangerous ideas... oversaw rocket launches... manipulated decisions...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice dropped to almost a whisper. \"He was waiting... like a hunter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silas exhaled slowly. \"And when everything was ready...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy finished the sentence. \"He released the final piece... the zombie virus.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence fell. A suffocating, heavy silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That virus...\" Ivy continued, her brows tightening, \"it’s not even something extraordinary in his world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silas looked at her sharply. \"It’s just... a dog virus.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The words felt absurd... yet horrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But on Earth...\" she added, \"it turned into something catastrophic.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1008,"2026-06-05T15:12:50.241Z",1,"novelbin.me","f502c604b8c3816b04309a6e079957cd3220f5a75e83653e399cdef65f3fe4a8","zombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-chapter-612","zombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-chapter-610",706,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-cover.jpg"]
