From Prey to Predator: My Rise in the Zombie Apocalypse

Good news: While fleeing from zombies, I unexpectedly gained the ability to read minds. Bad news: This mind-reading ability seems to only work on my sister. It was then that I discovered my sister, who had always been closest to me, actually wanted to steal my destiny. Suddenly, I heard my sister’s thoughts. I was apparently the protagonist of this world, blessed with the protagonist’s luck. All the hardships I would endure were meant to be stepping stones for my future. My sister couldn’t accept it. We were born together, grew up together. Why was she just a supporting character while I was the protagonist? So, my sister activated a system to steal my destiny. If she managed to get me killed, she would replace me as the new protagonist of this world, gaining the extraordinary luck that others couldn’t match. At that moment, during our escape from the zombies, my sister was pushing me towards a group of ill-intentioned men. She pointed at three fierce-looking men sitting in a Jeep and said to me, “Emily, see those men? They have special abilities and food. If we go with them, we’ll have a good life.” But I heard her think, “Go on, once you’re tortured to death, your destiny will be mine.” I looked at the men who had just dragged a woman into their car. Screams were constantly coming from inside. My sister pulled me towards them without giving me a choice, pushing me forward, “This is my sister.” The man with a scar on his face looked at me with malicious intent, “Little girl, want to give it a try?” So, I stepped to the left, spread my hands, and pointed at my sister. “My sister likes you. She wants to have a good life with you.”

The air around us went silent for a few seconds. Scar Face probably didn’t expect someone to voluntarily offer themselves up like this. “Really?” he asked. I nodded, “Absolutely. My sister has been watching you guys for a long time, but she was too shy to approach you.” Sarah shook her head frantically, even calling out my full name, “Emily Hayes, what nonsense are you talking about!” I feigned confusion, “Sis, weren’t you telling me all along how great they were, how they had lots of food?” Sarah was at a loss for words, “I… I was telling you to…” I gestured towards Scar Face, “See, my sister is shy. Her face is all red.” Sarah’s face was indeed red, but from anger rather than embarrassment. Scar Face looked at me, then at my sister. At this moment, my protagonist’s luck worked its magic perfectly. In Scar Face’s eyes, I was barely noticeable. On the contrary, my sister appeared as a slender, long-legged beauty. His eyes gleamed with excitement as he hoisted my sister over his shoulder with one arm. Sarah struggled, hitting and scratching from behind, her eyes filled with murderous intent as she looked at me, “Emily Hayes!” I waved at her, “Brother-in-law, please be gentle with my sister.” As I turned away, I heard my sister’s terrifying screams behind me.

That night, I sat in a makeshift shelter of old rags, munching on a wafer cookie to stave off hunger. This cookie was found in my sister’s backpack. Sarah looked haggard, having changed into a new set of clothes. The old set was probably unwearable now. Her exposed skin was covered in bruises. As she walked towards me, her legs were shaking. “Emily, sis brought you some food,” Sarah said, handing me a piece of bread. Her voice was hoarse from crying, “Emily, why did you do that today? You knew…” I interrupted her, “Sis, we’re sisters. Mom and Dad are gone, leaving just the two of us to rely on each other. Of course, if there’s a good life to be had, I should let my sister have it first. How could I dare to compete?” Sarah’s mouth twitched a few times, clearly not expecting me to say this. After a while, she handed me the now misshapen bread, “Eat up. From now on, sis will give you a good life.” But I clearly heard my sister’s inner thoughts, “I’ll get my revenge sooner or later!” I ignored her, finished the bread alone, and turned to sleep. Let’s see what method she uses against me tomorrow.

Early the next morning, I was woken up by my sister. “Emily, quick, we’re going out to collect supplies today.” I frowned, watching her hurriedly pack things up. “What’s going on? Are we not coming back?” Our group of over thirty people had taken shelter in a bunker during our escape. There were few zombies inside, and it was hard for others to find. Except for the lack of food, it was a perfect natural shelter. Sarah pulled me aside, “Emily, your brother-in-law said it’s not safe here. We need to go to the big base.” I was surprised that my sister was already calling him “brother-in-law” so naturally. I guess she spent the whole night in that man’s car. The screams and noises had continued all night, never-ending. I wanted to ask Sarah more, but seeing my hesitation, she started crying, “Emily, why have you changed like this? You used to be so obedient, never questioning your sister…” How have I changed? I wanted to ask her the same thing, why she had become so heartless. If I hadn’t gained the ability to read minds, I’d probably be a corpse by now. We’re sisters by blood, yet she could harden her heart to harm me. We used to play together, cry together. The night before the apocalypse began, it was our 18th birthday. You wished to love your little sister forever. But now… I laughed bitterly to myself, “Sis, how could that be? You’re overthinking. If we’re going to the big base, then let’s go. I’ll do whatever you say.” Sarah smiled at me with satisfaction, but her heart was full of malice, “This time, I must steal all your luck, prevent you from reaching the big base, and keep you from meeting the male lead.” So that’s it. My sister wanted to get close to this world’s male protagonist. The male lead of this world, Aiden Moore. Born into a military family, he awakened three special abilities after the apocalypse. Among them, his lightning ability had already reached level five, the most powerful. Aiden Moore was a big shot in this apocalyptic world. Sister, so you want to latch onto the male lead. The migration of over thirty people wasn’t short, but it wasn’t too long either. The difficulty lay in snatching food from the jaws of death. For me, I not only had to guard against zombies but also my own sister. In just two short days, zombies mysteriously appeared in front of me once.
