Not in their current state.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her lips curled faintly. \"That’s why their stories matched... but not completely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Martha frowned. \"What do you mean?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy looked at her, her gaze piercing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They weren’t speaking naturally,\" she said. \"It was like... someone was forcing them to recall a memory that had been implanted into them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A heavy silence followed. Taking a deep breath, Ivy straightened slightly. \"At this point, we only have two choices.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Martha stiffened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Either we kill Pearl and Keith...\" Ivy said calmly, \"Or we eliminate Ferrero and Jeff’s consciousness from within them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Martha’s face paled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked at Ivy carefully now, noticing the dark circles under her eyes, the faint tremble in her fingers, and the exhaustion she had been hiding all this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy had been carrying too much. The rising flood caused by overpopulation... The threat of the superior beings... Her sister’s suffering...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything had piled onto her shoulders. It felt as though she were standing on the edge of collapse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, the door opened. Silas stepped in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Ivy saw him, her expression softened, though her smile was weak and tired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, Silas walked up to her and gently pulled her into his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m not listening to anything else,\" he said firmly. \"You need to sleep.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy let out a faint chuckle, her voice fragile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How can I sleep right now?\" she murmured. \"If I close my eyes...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silas cut her off, his tone steady. \"Trust me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She fell silent. \"You’ve already solved the hardest part,\" he continued. \"Leave the rest to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy hesitated before whispering. \"What about the population problem...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silas smiled lightly. \"I’ve already found a solution for that too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a quiet confidence in his voice. \"You can rest now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, Ivy simply looked at him. Then, slowly, she nodded. Her eyelids grew heavy, and within seconds, she slipped into a deep sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Martha, who had been watching silently, finally spoke. \"...Are you sure about this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silas carefully brought Ivy to the apartment, adjusting the blanket over her before turning toward Martha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course not,\" he said with a soft chuckle. \"If I hadn’t said that... she wouldn’t have slept at all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Martha blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll figure it out now,\" he added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stared at him for a moment before giving a small, approving nod. \"Good luck,\" she said, raising her thumb slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By early morning, Silas had found his answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he did, he immediately began making arrangements around Pearl’s and Keith’s house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Ferrero and Jeff had already sensed something was wrong. They knew they had been partially exposed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, they held onto hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’She won’t act immediately...’ they thought. ’And even if she does... she won’t find a solution so quickly.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they had underestimated one thing. Silas’s temporal storage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After spending a massive amount of accumulated points, Silas had accessed a solution, one that could directly target the foreign consciousness inside Pearl and Keith.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since those entities existed as consciousness rather than physical forms, normal attacks were useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless they were struck in their energy form... nothing would work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silas had realized something crucial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The energy in vegetables...\" he muttered, recalling the clues. \"People unknowingly pass their emotions into what they grow... resentment... negativity...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had got to know this from Ivy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By infusing vegetables with concentrated negative energy, resentment sharpened into a weapon; he created something subtle yet deadly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Pearl and Keith consumed those vegetables, the effect appeared harmless on the surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At most, it would cause minor physical discomfort, something like food poisoning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But internally...it was a different story. The negative energy bypassed the body and struck directly at the embedded consciousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Silas had predicted, the moment the energy took effect, Ferrero’s and Jeff’s consciousnesses recoiled violently within Pearl and Keith.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They tried to seize control. They tried to override the situation. But something stopped them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A barrier. An unseen, unbreakable confinement. And then they realized...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s... blocking us...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s that damned storage...!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was none other than Ivy’s temporal storage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Ivy and Silas realized that both of them possessed temporal storage, they had quietly come to an agreement. Without hesitation, they granted each other access.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That single decision... changed everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this very moment, Silas was using Ivy’s temporal storage, weaving its invisible threads with extreme precision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within Keith’s body, Jeff’s consciousness struggled. Within Pearl’s body... Ferrero’s fragmented will trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both of them panicked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They pushed, pulled, and lashed out desperately, trying to reconnect with their original selves, trying to regain control, but it was useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t feel anything beyond the suffocating barrier that had sealed them in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like screaming into a void that swallowed all sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ferrero clenched his fists, his expression darkening as he looked toward Jeff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We need another vessel,\" he muttered coldly. \"Take over another human... enter the base again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jeff gave a weak, bitter smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If it were that simple...\" he replied, his voice hollow. \"I would have left this body long ago and taken Marco instead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze hardened as realization dawned upon him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That temporal storage...\" he continued slowly, \"it’s not just blocking us... it’s tracing us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A chill ran through both of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jeff exhaled sharply, his jaw tightening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have no choice but to leave my consciousness here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even controlling Keith’s body from afar had now become impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grinding his teeth, he muttered. \"Ivy... she’s far too smart.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ferrero narrowed his eyes, a dangerous glint flashing within them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If we ever want to stand at the top of this world...\" he said coldly, \"then Ivy must be dealt with.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jeff gave a faint nod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, in the quiet living room, Silas stood still, watching Pearl and Keith.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both of them had fallen asleep, their breathing slow and uneven, their faces pale under the dim lighting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silas didn’t touch them. He simply waited. Time passed.\u003C\u002Fp>",1002,"2026-06-05T15:12:50.241Z",1,"novelbin.me","4db96de8ac8dce12a1335bce2d918272d622ee206a96600fc5da74db3aa34ce8","zombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-chapter-627","zombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-chapter-625",706,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-cover.jpg"]
