Otherwise, I can become far more ruthless than this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing those words, Ariana’s anger instantly weakened beneath her fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Consuming powdered gold causes extreme drowsiness,\" Ariana admitted quietly. \"After that, intense pain and discomfort spread throughout the body. Sometimes people even become extremely violent during the process.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, Ivy nodded thoughtfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ariana continued speaking nervously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That only happens because the metals here are impure compared to the materials from our world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment she heard that statement, Ivy immediately caught the important detail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The metals?\" Ivy repeated sharply while narrowing her eyes. \"Are you saying superior beings consume other types of metals as well?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ariana glanced faintly at Ivy before finally nodding weakly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes,\" Ariana admitted quietly. \"Metals contain minerals that are extremely important for our bodies.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, Ivy slowly narrowed her eyes in understanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, many things were beginning to make sense to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The so-called superior beings clearly did not possess abundant food resources in their own world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whatever resources their ancestors had left behind would eventually run out, especially for beings who constantly consumed enormous amounts of energy simply to survive and cultivate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By consuming metals and extracting minerals from them, they were essentially creating an alternative food source for themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the very least, it allowed them to survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking directly at Ariana, Ivy calmly asked,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wouldn’t that create problems with lifespan eventually?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment she heard that question, Ariana suddenly chuckled weakly despite her miserable condition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lifespan?\" Ariana muttered as though the concept itself amused her. \"That is something we rarely worry about.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy remained silent while listening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ariana continued speaking slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In our world, there are beasts filled with essence energy. After killing those beasts, we obtain their essence cores. Once we absorb those cores, our cultivation increases.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, a faint trace of pride unconsciously appeared in her eyes again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And as cultivation increases,\" Ariana continued softly, \"our lifespan increases too. So lifespan was never really considered a major problem for us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that explanation, Ivy finally understood why these superior beings treated human life so lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their perception of time and death was completely different from ordinary humans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So...\" she asked. \"What about the portal? Has it already been opened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment that question was asked, Ivy instantly noticed the subtle guilt flashing across Ariana’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ariana quickly looked away before muttering softly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No... the portal hasn’t opened yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second the word \"yet\" left Ariana’s mouth, Ivy immediately caught onto it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her sharp eyes narrowed dangerously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yet?\" Ivy repeated slowly. \"Does that mean someone has already been instructed to open it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ariana immediately shook her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this time her reaction came slightly too quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few seconds later, she sighed helplessly, clearly realizing she had already exposed something important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Ivy instantly understood that something was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking back carefully, Aunt June was already completely under their control. That meant Ariana could not possibly rely on her to open the portal anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that possibility was eliminated, then only one explanation remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy slowly stared at Ariana with an increasingly cold gaze before asking calmly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can this portal open automatically at a specific time interval? Or can you set the timing for when the portal is to be opened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment that question entered Ariana’s ears, her eyes widened with genuine shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time, she truly understood why Ivy absolutely needed to die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This woman was terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Ariana’s eyes, Ivy resembled the royal strategists from their own world. She possessed the same terrifying sharpness, the same ruthless decisiveness, and perhaps even greater cruelty than the royalty themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most importantly, Ivy was intelligent enough to uncover critical truths from the smallest details.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If someone like her remained alive, then the royal family itself could eventually fall into danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if the royalty became threatened, then their entire world would become vulnerable as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about that terrifying possibility, Ariana slowly closed her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Ivy merely chuckled softly after seeing Ariana’s reaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second... smack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her palm struck Ariana’s face hard once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ariana instantly opened her eyes and glared at Ivy furiously. Veins bulged across her neck as she began struggling violently against the restraints.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The metal cuffs rattled loudly against the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Once I get out of here,\" Ariana shouted hoarsely, \"I will definitely make you regret this! You bitch!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy looked at her calmly without the slightest fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You need to survive first,\" Ivy replied coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, without hesitation, she picked up another syringe filled with the strange milk-like liquid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Ariana saw it, all the anger on her face instantly collapsed into fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"N-No...\" Ariana whispered shakily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately for her, Ivy had already pushed the needle into her arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The liquid entered her bloodstream almost immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within seconds, Ariana’s entire body began convulsing violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A burning sensation exploded through her veins like molten fire spreading beneath her skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahhhh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A broken scream escaped her lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tears instantly gathered in her eyes as her body trembled uncontrollably against the restraints.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Ariana truly regretted everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her condition, even Paris and Siya could not help feeling slightly uncomfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Ivy felt almost no sympathy toward her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, this woman had personally participated in the deaths of more than five hundred humans. Not to mention Robert and Ian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to those countless victims, Ariana’s suffering meant very little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing the injection, Ivy prepared to leave the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Paris suddenly spoke up. \"There is something I want to ask.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy paused before turning around slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Paris looked directly at her before asking carefully,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why are you torturing us this much?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Siya quietly looked toward Ivy at that moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Paris hesitated briefly before continuing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There must be a reason, right? Otherwise... this level of torture feels almost inhuman. You’re nearly killing her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment everyone fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>",1002,"2026-06-05T15:12:51.769Z",1,"novelbin.me","1fd8ffba12f1b9e661d5bfab56c076f57aed9671bcd3f6a814bca59423c84133","zombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-chapter-683","zombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-chapter-681",706,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-cover.jpg"]
