After what felt like an eternity, she finally lifted her gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then we can look at this from a positive angle.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jay turned sharply toward her, confusion flickering across his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy met his eyes, her voice steady but laced with something darker beneath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even though my sister has suffered so much... we have understood that a medium works both ways. We can send things from here to there, and Ember could feel pain... because of their control.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her fingers curled slightly at her sides as she continued, her tone lowering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But if we want that superior being to pay... we need to drag it into our base first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A chill crept into the room as her words settled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The only way is to lure it... through milk. Or we can find another weakness; we would need to ask my parents first...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She paused, her mind racing. ’Something is missing... something important.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her breath hitched suddenly, and she froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’The temporary storage...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A memory surfaced like a spark in the darkness. The voice from before echoed faintly in her mind: other than milk, superior beings had a weakness... food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her pupils shrank as realization struck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the crops grown inside her temporary storage... they were different. Better. Infused with something unnatural, kindness, energy, and something pure yet powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A slow smile crept onto her lips. \"There might be a way...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jay leaned forward slightly, tension tightening his shoulders. \"What way?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy tilted her head, her eyes gleaming with a dangerous idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For that... we’ll need a medium.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before she could elaborate further, Jay abruptly pointed toward the operating table, his hand trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The medium is already there... inside my wife’s stomach.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His teeth clenched so hard that his jaw trembled. ’I thought I was saving humanity... and yet my own wife...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His entire body began to shake, not just from rage, but from a fear so deep it seemed to hollow him out from within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He remembered how, in his previous life, he had lost Ember. He didn’t want to go through it again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If by chance... he wanted to keep her safe. But now history was repeating itself, and it was way more vicious than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Silas appeared with Helena, Victor, Felix, and Kael. All of them had a worried expression, and they asked,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How is she now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She has been in the emergency surgery department for the past 2 hours... we don’t know how much more time would be required,\" Ivy explained, and everyone fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time slipped by from 2 hours to 6 hours. By the 7th hour, the Nightbane family almost wanted to rush inside. However, they held themselves back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After 7 hours and 30 minutes, the doctor appeared. Ivy rushed over and held his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Doctor, how is she now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The doctor was flustered when Ivy held him. He had never in his wildest dreams thought that one day Ivy would look at him with such desperation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who was Ivy? She was the unofficial base leader. Though she had claimed that she was just a representative of the base leader, till now, no base leader had appeared, cementing the fact that she was the base leader.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just that... she loved to hide it. Hence, no one thought of exposing her, but they all, in their minds, had started to treat her with utmost respect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today his day was indeed a lucky one!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We found something...\" The doctor’s voice cracked. \"Something unrecognizable... inside her stomach.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He swallowed hard, his throat dry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...From the looks of it... It’s not a baby.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The words dropped like a stone into still water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone’s heart sank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until now, they had been almost certain that Ivy’s theory had to be right. That Ember had somehow consumed a medium, allowing those so-called superior beings to torment her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But hearing it confirmed...a suffocating fear spread through the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’If Ember can become a victim... then what about us?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’How easily could those things plant something inside our bodies... without us even knowing?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy narrowed her eyes again, forcing her thoughts into order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can we do a CT scan...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But midway through her sentence, she froze. Though she had tried to get as many machines as she could... There were still some that couldn’t be acquired in time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice was calm, but her fingers trembled faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If we had an MRI machine... we could scan everyone. Find out where the problem is.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the doctor left, silence returned, heavier than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy remained where she stood, her thoughts spiraling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’MRI... or...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mind suddenly shifted. ’Clairvoyance.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they could find someone with that ability, they wouldn’t need machines at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes flickered with determination as she turned slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’That’s faster... more efficient.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She told her idea to Silas\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Understanding her intent, Silas immediately moved, leaving without another word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the Nightbane family rushed into the room one after another, their footsteps hurried and uneven. They gathered around Ember, their faces pale, their eyes filled with heartbreak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ember lay there, her face drained of color, so pale that it almost resembled a drifting cloud, fragile, distant, and unreal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy stood at the edge, her chest tightening painfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’They’re after me...And yet... they’re hurting my family instead.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guilt clawed at her insides, sharp and relentless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Helena approached quietly, as if she had seen straight through Ivy’s thoughts. Without a word, she gently took Ivy’s hand, her touch warm and steady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s not your fault.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy’s breath faltered. For a moment, she couldn’t even respond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Isn’t it...?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Helena’s mind drifted back. The moment everything began: the cursed experiment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Night famibanely had never gotten involved... If she had never... She shut her eyes tightly, shaking her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If only we hadn’t participated in that cursed experiment... maybe things would have been different...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice was barely above a whisper. Ivy lowered her head, unable to agree... yet unable to deny it either.\u003C\u002Fp>",1016,"2026-06-05T15:12:50.241Z",1,"novelbin.me","9607237bab1c1d407dfdcd8400becac1ad348464a44e7fac4c180a1e75553933","zombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-chapter-622","zombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-chapter-620",706,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-cover.jpg"]
