All Chapters of Betrayal In The Zombie Apocalypse: Chapter 1 - Chapter 7

"Jessica, will you marry me?" I got down on one knee, holding a huge bouquet of flowers in one hand and a diamond ring the size of a pigeon's egg in the other.The crowd cheered.A big screen played the video of how I raided for supplies in the wild and climbed to the top of the base's leaderboard.My scarred face looked up, eagerly waiting for my girlfriend of three years, Jessica Bates, to respond.She took the bouquet and, without warning, smashed it on my head.Petals fell before my eyes as I staggered and fell to the ground.Mocking words reached my ears."Swain Duncan, you're just a loser who stole someone else's superpower! You really think I would marry you? Stop dreaming! My dad's a member of the base's middle management; my family's rich enough to buy a hundred men like you!"Jessica turned to the crowd and said indignantly while pointing at me, "Everyone, this is Swain Duncan, a big fat liar! He told me he had spatial power and tricked me into dating him, but he does

Biological son?I frowned. So I wasn't their biological son.But what they said next stunned me even more."Of course we'll help you. You're our son. We only adopted Swain because he already had a superpower at a young age!" My mother complained but still lovingly stroked Chris' head. She then poured a white powder into the wine with shaking hands."We went out of our way to obtain this drug. After consuming it, a person will lose their superpower, no matter how strong it is. When the superpower sharing system completely shuts down, the spatial power will belong only to you."I gasped in shock. I had thought that even though they favored Chris, they still raised me, so they must love me too. I didn't know that they merely raised me to steal my power for their useless son.In the past, whenever I had delicious food, my parents always made me give it to Chris, saying that I should take care of him because I'm older.When the base was in danger and required every household to provi

"Hmph, Swain is a nobody. He likes to pretend to be a big shot even though he has no superpower. He's probably so ashamed now that he wants to kill himself. A trash like him will just waste resources. He should just die."Hearing them insulting me, I intensified my control over my spatial power.Although I had removed Chris' sharing privileges, I would still share some of my power with him every day to give him the illusion that he had already obtained my power.Before the base competition, there was a contestant meetup, and I decided to attend with my parents because I had no reason to fear anything.When we arrived in a Cadillac that my parents specifically prepared for the occasion, I ran into Chris and Jessica.Chris looked shocked. He blurted out, "Aren't you supposed to be…?"Then, realizing what he was saying, he quickly composed himself. "Swain, what are you doing here, you fraud? You're not actually attending the meetup, are you?" He sized me up. "I've already revoked th

Their words carried the accusations that I was heartless and ungrateful.Right then, the big screen suddenly played the video of the Duncans drugging me. My biological parents spat in disgust."You took away our son and abused him! He was kind enough to share his power with your son, but you still tried to harm him and steal his power! You're the ones who should be ashamed! Jessica Bates, you vain woman, my son treated you sincerely, but all you wanted was to cling to a powerful man! Now, you'll end up with nothing!"The crowd gasped. Everyone was starting to figure out the truth."What? So Swain's not actually Chris' biological brother? No wonder Chris was ruthless enough to steal Swain's girlfriend. He fabricated that whole story about Swain stealing his power!""I see. Jessica wanted to marry a powerful guy with spatial power, so she used Swain as a backup while looking for something better. Little did she know, she mistook a fish eye for a pearl. It's karma.""The Duncans are
