Zombie Apocalypse: I Have Safe Zone Superpower

Chapter 566: Chapter 566: Captured Grace

Her eyes gradually turned colder, like frost spreading across still water, and she murmured quietly,

"So this entity is truly greedy... it actually wants to eat humans."

For a brief moment her gaze darkened, filled with a dangerous calm.

"Let’s see whether it even has the ability to do that."

With those words, she calmly laid out her plan.

Back in the present moment, as the group of humans slowly approached Roma, she initially smiled faintly.

However, the smile on her lips slowly froze. Something was wrong. Very wrong.

Her sharp eyes swept across the approaching group, carefully observing every small detail.

The way they walked, the tension in their muscles, the unnatural steadiness in their breathing.

Every single one of them looked incredibly powerful.

That alone was more than enough to trigger alarm bells in her mind.

’A trap...?’

The thought flashed through her head like lightning.

Without even hesitating for another second, Roma abruptly turned around and started running.

Grace, who had been standing nearby, stared at her in complete shock.

"What is going on?!"

Her voice echoed loudly as she watched Roma sprint away without explanation.

"Roma! Why are you running?!"

But it was already too late.

By the time the words left Grace’s mouth, Roma had already disappeared into the distance.

Seeing this, Grace instinctively wanted to follow her, but before she could take even a few steps, several figures surrounded her.

Hands grabbed her arms tightly.

"No, wait! Let go of me!"

Grace struggled desperately as she was restrained and dragged back toward the base.

"I am not the main target!" she shouted repeatedly, her voice filled with panic. "You are making a mistake!"

But none of them listened.

The moment Grace was dragged back inside the base, a cold realization slowly settled into her chest.

’I am finished...’

She knew exactly what would happen to her.

The entity that had once promised that it would protect her and take her away if things went wrong.

But now?

It had completely abandoned her.

Grace gritted her teeth and tried to activate her teleportation ability again and again. After all, it was her innate power. The familiar sensation of spatial distortion should have appeared around her.

But no matter how hard she tried, nothing happened.

Again. And again. And again.

Sweat slowly formed on her forehead as panic grew in her chest.

’Why isn’t it working...?’

It was only much later that Grace finally learned the truth.

After repeatedly watching criminals escape her grasp using various abilities, Ivy had once been filled with furious rage.

That frustration had eventually led her to create a new rule.

The rule was simple yet terrifying.

As long as an individual inside the base was identified as a criminal or someone with harmful intent, that person would be forcefully restrained within the base.

Escape would become impossible.

In other words, anyone who entered the base with malicious intent would have absolutely no way out.

Grace had unknowingly walked straight into that trap.

The moment Grace entered the base, Ivy was immediately notified.

Without wasting any time, she headed toward Grace’s location.

When Ivy finally arrived and saw Grace restrained and cuffed, she couldn’t help but smile faintly.

Because the vision shown by the Temporal Storage had already revealed something very important to her.

In her previous life, when Ivy had been blind, the person who had suddenly teleported her away from the main group and thrown her into a dangerous research group had been none other than Grace.

Grace had been jealous.

Jealous that Caleb had paid slightly more attention to Ivy.

That jealousy had turned into burning rage.

And in that moment of hatred, Grace had teleported Ivy far away from everyone else, leaving her alone and vulnerable.

The memories continued unfolding in Ivy’s mind.

She had also seen how, in that previous life, her closest friends had desperately searched for her everywhere.

But in the end... They had all died under Grace’s schemes.

Now, in this life, Ivy stood in front of Grace once again.

A soft smile slowly appeared on her lips.

Grace immediately felt a cold chill crawl down her spine.

Looking at Ivy with a wary expression, she spoke nervously.

"If you are thinking about harming me... you should forget about it. I have a superior being backing me."

The words had barely left her mouth when... SLAP!

A loud, sharp sound echoed across the room.

Ivy’s hand had struck Grace’s face with brutal force.

Grace’s head snapped to the side as her cheek burned painfully.

Her eyes widened in disbelief.

"You...!"

She pointed at Ivy with trembling fingers.

"You can’t just slap people like that! There is no law allowing that!"

Ivy chuckled softly, her laughter cold and mocking. "Law?"

She leaned slightly closer, her eyes filled with chilling calm. "Here... I am the law."

And with those words, the brutal interrogation began.

At first, Grace still had the strength to argue.

"You call yourself righteous?" she spat angrily. "You are nothing but a hypocrite!"

But as time passed, her resistance slowly crumbled.

Bruises formed around her eyes. Her lips split open.

There were countless marks across her face from punches, and several painful kicks had left her gasping for breath on the floor.

Grace was terrified now.

Her body trembled uncontrollably.

Ivy stared at her silently for a moment.

However, after realizing that she had still not obtained much useful information, Ivy made another decision.

She would hand Grace over to the research team.

In her previous life, Grace had delivered Ivy straight into the hands of researchers who had treated her like a test subject.

This time...

Grace would experience that same fate herself.

Without another word, Ivy turned and walked away.

While Ivy was dealing with issues in nearby villages, Alana was currently treating Ember.

Ember watched Alana with clear fascination in her eyes.

When Alana had first mentioned that she possessed healing powers capable of curing even incurable diseases, Ember had honestly not believed her.

But now...

As warmth slowly spread through her body and her painful condition gradually improved, Ember felt deeply moved.
