When she opened her eyes again, there was a sharpness within them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stand up,\" she commanded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy didn’t move. She simply stared at Bella, completely unaffected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few seconds passed before Bella sighed softly, the tension leaving her shoulders. \"See? It doesn’t work.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy shook her head immediately. \"No,\" she said. \"We need more tests. Let’s try on Moona and Maxi.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bella frowned slightly before replying, \"They’ve been turned into zombies once. If my theory is correct, my ability should work on them without resistance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, they proceeded. When Bella stood before Moona and Maxi, she repeated the command. \"Sit down.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost instantly, both of them complied without hesitation, their movements smooth and natural, as if the command had been their own thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy’s eyes lit up, and she gave Bella a thumbs-up, a faint smile forming on her lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But behind that smile, her mind was already racing. ’Another method... to deal with superior beings...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until now, she had identified four weaknesses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Milk, vegetables, and red items. And finally... the zombie virus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’If a superior being is infected with the virus... and Bella can control them...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her thoughts immediately drifted to one person. Silas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But almost instantly, she dismissed the idea. ’I don’t want him to feel like he’s being controlled...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, she chose someone else. Jade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Ivy went to meet him, she noticed the change immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had become quieter, more reserved, his presence calmer than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he saw Ivy, a small, genuine smile appeared on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I’ve let go...’ his expression seemed to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy did not waste time. She explained everything to him in detail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she finished, Jade nodded without hesitation. \"I’ll participate,\" he said calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Bella stood before him. She closed her eyes, focusing once more, then opened them sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stand up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a split second Jade’s body twitched. He almost moved. But then he stopped himself, remaining seated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy’s eyes narrowed slightly as she observed carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jade blinked, confusion flickering across his face. \"That was... strange,\" he muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bella turned toward Ivy with a small smile. \"See? It doesn’t work on real superior beings.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Ivy shook her head and stepped closer to Jade. \"Tell me exactly what you felt,\" she said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jade frowned slightly, thinking. \"It felt like... something was trying to command me,\" he said slowly. \"And for a moment, I almost obeyed it. But I stopped myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Ivy turned toward Bella.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bella’s eyes narrowed, a spark of interest igniting within them. \"Now that... is interesting,\" she murmured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’So he resisted because he was aware...? Or was it something else entirely...?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They decided to test again. Bella gave the same command.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stand up.\" This time nothing happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jade remained completely still, unaffected, as if the influence no longer existed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bella sighed softly, crossing her arms. \"Looks like we won’t get results this way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy nodded slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If only Silas could be included in the experiment.\" Bella murmured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Jade casually took out his phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Communication had recently been restored within Ivy’s base thanks to a group of skilled individuals who had reconstructed electrical systems using available materials, iron, wiring, and salvaged components.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Makeshift electric poles now stood across the area, humming faintly with power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He typed a short message to Silas, explaining what Ivy needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After about ten minutes, Silas arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Ivy saw him at the doorway, she blinked in surprise. \"You’re already here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silas shrugged lightly, a faint smile playing on his lips. \"Sounded urgent,\" he replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then his gaze shifted toward her, his tone turning slightly amused. \"I heard you need my cooperation for some kind of experiment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy glanced briefly at Jade, who simply closed his eyes as if uninvolved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking a quiet breath, Ivy turned back to Silas and explained everything in detail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she finished, Silas nodded without hesitation. \"Alright,\" he said calmly. \"Let’s do it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked over and sat down on the sofa, leaning back comfortably. Since he already knew a command would be used on him, he appeared completely relaxed, as if he were merely waiting for instructions rather than preparing for a test that could reveal something far more dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bella commanded him however Silas remained unmoved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I knew it...’ Bella thought to herself, her lashes trembling faintly. ’Commands like that were never going to work on him...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint silence lingered in the room, broken only by the soft rustle of clothing and the distant hum of activity within the base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bella let out a small breath before smiling lightly, though there was still curiosity in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She tilted her head and looked at Ivy. \"So... what do we do now?\" she asked, her tone gentle but probing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy opened her eyes again, her gaze thoughtful as she leaned back slightly. \"Maybe,\" she began slowly, choosing her words carefully, \"it’s because you haven’t fully awakened your power as a superhuman yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bella blinked, clearly intrigued. \"What do you mean?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy folded her arms loosely, her voice steady as she explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even hybrids... need to activate their abilities properly,\" she said. \"And the best way to do so is control.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, Jade, who had been quietly listening, lifted his head slightly, interest flickering across his otherwise calm face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That sounds interesting,\" he said. \"Does that mean... I can awaken something like that too?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1013,"2026-06-05T15:12:50.241Z",1,"novelbin.me","9c327ebe3629700c976a47c39197bec22b5931e235475c8c72085ed8567cf673","zombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-chapter-646","zombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-chapter-644",706,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-cover.jpg"]
