I’ll never find peace.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The younger Jade took a shaky breath, his chest rising and falling unevenly before he slowly nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Jade opened his eyes again...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything was normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or at least... it appeared that way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their current place...bought with Frank’s wealth...was quiet, almost peaceful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jade had been living here for a while now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frank often found himself staring at the ceiling, lost in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But over time, the heaviness inside him began to fade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He started searching for something new.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something grounding. Recently, he had taken up pottery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One by one, he began creating small pieces, each one slightly better than the last.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, General Frank’s wife had also found her own rhythm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had taken to knitting, a passion she wanted to follow during her childhood, but never got the chance to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, she even set up a small stall in the market, displaying her creations with quiet pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frank himself had invested heavily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Properties, shops, land...he had secured assets everywhere, ensuring a steady stream of income. Rent flowed in consistently, and the future seemed... stable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’At least Jade won’t have to struggle,’ Frank often thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Days blended into each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until one day... Jade requested a private meeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frank had laughed at first, waving it off casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why so serious?\" he teased, leaning back comfortably. \"If you want more money or a bigger share of the property, just say it. I’ll figure something out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Jade didn’t smile. And that... made Frank pause.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the meeting ended, the atmosphere in the room turned cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frank’s face had turned completely red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His chest rose and fell heavily, his breath uneven, almost trembling with restrained fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No!\" he snapped. \"I won’t agree to this... not in a million years!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jade stood still, his expression calm yet firm, but that very calmness only fueled Frank’s anger further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you even understand what you’re asking?\" Frank continued, his tone rising with every word. \"This isn’t some childish decision you can just take lightly!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jade didn’t back down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the breaking point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a sharp turn, Frank stormed out of the house. That argument... didn’t end there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It stretched on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One day turned into two... then three... and before either of them realized it, nearly a week had passed without resolution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Frank finally returned, exhaustion clung to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’He must have cooled down by now,’ he thought, trying to convince himself. ’Jade will understand... he always does.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the moment his eyes fell upon the scene inside...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything had already been prepared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Equipment, arrangements, plans... all meticulously set in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jade hadn’t changed his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not even slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something inside Frank broke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His anger dissolved instantly, replaced by something far heavier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes reddened, his vision blurring as tears began to form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You...\" his voice faltered, barely audible. \"You really decided to go through with this...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jade didn’t speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t need to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frank lowered his head, his shoulders trembling faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, slowly, he wiped his tears and let out a shaky breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re... just like me,\" he muttered, a bitter smile forming. \"Too stubborn to turn back once you’ve decided something.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long pause, he stepped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine,\" he said quietly. \"If you’re going to do this... then I’ll help you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>..........\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unaware of everything unfolding on Jade’s side, Ivy had already begun setting her own plan into motion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A trap. One she believed was flawless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Ariana had grown increasingly restless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The silence from Robert and Ian had stretched too long, gnawing at her instincts. Then suddenly... he contacted her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Robert told her how he was going to escape today and asked her to meet near SiIvy base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment she heard that, her body reacted before her thoughts could catch up. She rushed toward Ivy’s base without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And there... she saw him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half of his face had mutated grotesquely, his skin twisted into something resembling a zombie’s decay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His movements were unsteady, his body clearly injured as he staggered away from the base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ariana froze for a split second, her instincts clashing with suspicion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Robert!\" she called out. \"What happened to you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Robert’s breathing was ragged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It... wasn’t easy,\" he muttered, his voice hoarse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I had to pretend... pretend I had turned into a zombie.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His lips curled slightly in exhaustion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even when Bella tried to command me... I acted like I was under her control.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He swallowed hard before continuing. \"Once they moved me out of the prison area... I took the chance and ran.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ariana’s gaze softened slightly, though suspicion still lingered faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I thought I’d never make it out,\" Robert admitted, a shaky laugh escaping him. \"But somehow... I did.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Ariana standing there, real and unharmed, a flicker of relief crossed his face. ’I made it... I actually made it,’ he thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ariana exhaled softly before asking, \"And that?\" She gestured toward his disfigured face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Robert quickly explained, weaving together the story of his escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time he finished, Ariana’s expression had darkened, anger flashing in her eyes. \"Those humans...\" she muttered, her voice cold. \"They truly are despicable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her lips curled into a faint, dangerous smile. \"Once more of our kind arrive... I’ll make sure they pay for this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Robert nodded immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ariana’s expression shifted again, this time carrying a hint of satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But none of that matters right now,\" she said lightly. \"I have good news for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Robert’s curiosity flickered...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before he could speak... a sharp beam of light sliced through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A laser shot past him in a blink, heading straight toward Ariana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her instincts kicked in instantly. She twisted her body, dodging...but not completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bullet struck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah...!\" Ariana screamed, the pain exploding through her body as the impact sent a shockwave through her senses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Robert’s eyes widened in horror as he spun around... and froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing behind him, was Ivy, and Silas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint, almost satisfied smile rested on their lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shit...\" Robert muttered under his breath, the realization crashing down on him. ’This... was all a trap.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything clicked into place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His \"escape.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lack of resistance. The ease of contact. It had all been orchestrated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could react, a sharp blow landed at the back of his neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Darkness swallowed him instantly. His final thought flickered through his mind like a dying spark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’We’re finished...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...........\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ariana, meanwhile, stared at the wound in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Human weapons shouldn’t have been able to harm her like this. At worst, they could pierce her skin temporarily...something she could easily recover from.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this... this was different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A terrifying weakness spread through her body. Her limbs grew heavy, her vision blurring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’What... is this...?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She tried to remove the embedded bullet, her fingers trembling...but it didn’t budge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her breathing became shallow. Her strength faded rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the last of her will, she pointed toward Ivy, her voice weak but filled with hatred. \"Just... you wait...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then everything went black.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.........\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she opened her eyes again... she found herself restrained to a chair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the surroundings... they were nothing like what she expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A vast field stretched around her, lush green grass swaying gently under a soft breeze. The sky above was clear, painted in calming hues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It should have felt peaceful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to Ariana... it felt like a prison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her body tensed as she tried to move, only to feel the tight restraints holding her in place. Just as frustration began to rise...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes shifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And froze. Not far from her... two familiar figures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Paris. Siya.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her pupils shrank instantly. ’No... that’s impossible...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Panic surged through her. ’If I’ve been captured... then they should be somewhere else... why are they here?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She tried to speak, but her mouth was gagged, her words reduced to muffled sounds of anger and disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Footsteps approached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ariana’s gaze snapped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy stepped into view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint smile curved on her lips as she looked directly at Ariana. \"So,\" she said calmly, \"how are you feeling?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ariana’s eyes burned with rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She tried to curse, to scream, to spit every ounce of hatred she felt...but the gag silenced her completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy chuckled softly. \"There’s no point in cursing me,\" she said, her tone almost light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even at your strongest... you wouldn’t be able to do anything to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ariana’s body trembled with fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’You’ll die...’ she thought viciously, her eyes blazing. ’You’ll die a horrible death.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy tilted her head slightly, as if she had heard every unspoken word. \"I’d love to see that,\" she replied casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, without hesitation, she stepped forward and removed the gag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ariana immediately inhaled sharply, her voice raw as she spat, \"Even if you kill me... I will never tell you anything!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy nodded, as if she had expected nothing less. \"I admire that,\" she said simply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then... she pulled out a syringe. Inside it was a pale, milky liquid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ariana’s eyes widened slightly... before Ivy drove the needle into her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Agh...!\" Ariana screamed, her body convulsing violently as the liquid surged through her veins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her head jerked back, her eyes rolling as unbearable pain coursed through her entire being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She struggled desperately.\u003C\u002Fp>",1538,"2026-06-05T15:12:51.769Z",1,"novelbin.me","5c5b7bd9794ac1f3fb3b843c0986664c0e595a3eac0175dca940594febd05fd6","zombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-chapter-681","zombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-chapter-679",706,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-cover.jpg"]
