Soap...?’ he wondered, disbelief flickering in his eyes. ’In a time like this...?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could process it further, his attention was drawn elsewhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivana’s group began setting up a tent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The material was sturdy, durable, far superior to anything commonly seen even before the apocalypse. Within minutes, it stood firmly in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then,they started unloading supplies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Food. Vegetables. Milk. Oil. Grains, fine white flour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Item after item was brought out and neatly arranged inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke’s eyes widened. His throat went dry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This... this much food...?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was an unimaginable sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his base, even a single piece of bread or a bottle of water was considered precious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But here...they were treating food like it was nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Luke didn’t know was that all of this had been carefully planned by Ivy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wanted expansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that the apocalypse was receding, she could extend her reach beyond Silvy Base. There was still land, still space, and more importantly...people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she could attract them, her base would grow stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so, she used the most effective bait, Food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke took a deep breath, steadying himself before walking toward Ivana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I...\" he hesitated slightly before continuing, \"I would like to purchase food.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivana turned to him, a faint smile on her lips. \"Of course.

Even five tons is difficult enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivana’s expression shifted slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is it a money issue?\" she asked calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke’s face turned red almost instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...That’s part of it,\" he admitted reluctantly. \"Right now, even a bottle of water or a piece of bread costs ten gram of gold.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The words carried exhaustion, frustration, and helplessness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivana frowned slightly before forcing a small smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At Silvy Base, a bottle of water and bread wouldn’t cost less than five hundred mud coins,\" she said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke stared at her, confusion filling his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Mud coins?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivana patiently explained the currency system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, Luke’s expression changed gradually, from confusion to shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One gram of gold... equals ten thousand mud coins?\" he muttered, his voice barely above a whisper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’That means... with one gram... we could feed so many people...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His heart pounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking a deep breath, he straightened and spoke firmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then I want to purchase fifty tons of food.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivana nodded without hesitation. \"Done.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.................\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>True to her word, within two days, fifty tons of food arrived at Spring Base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Luke saw it with his own eyes,he nearly broke down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tears welled up, his vision blurring as relief and disbelief crashed over him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’We’re... saved...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By then, he had already reported everything to the base leader, Tammy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A recently promoted female lieutenant, strong-willed and sharp-minded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she heard about the antidote and the overwhelming supply of food, even she was left stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’In just one year...’ she thought, her fingers tightening slightly. ’Someone managed to achieve all of this?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tammy did not hesitate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment she understood the scale of what was being offered, she immediately ordered the treasury to be opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gold, old reserves that had been preserved since before the apocalypse, was brought out, its dull metallic sheen reflecting under the dim lights.\u003C\u002Fp>",1003,"2026-06-05T15:12:50.241Z",1,"novelbin.me","1e756abf6a25fb0cd175922b8658ad46a8ae0c76a84b8294325633322e73f18f","zombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-chapter-641","zombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-chapter-639",706,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-cover.jpg"]
