Chapter 227: From Arrogance to Wagging for Mercy
He Juan and the other women were immediately startled, their faces turning pale. However, quickly regaining her composure, the cunning He Juan put on a charming smile and said, "Oh, Captain, why are you in such a hurry? We're all hungry now. Give us something to eat, and we'll have the energy! Besides, being so rough won't win the sincere hearts of us women. What's the point?"
Other women echoed in agreement:
"Captain, even though it's the apocalypse, you should respect us a bit!"
"How can you be so rude? Don't you understand cherishing and respecting women?"
"At the very least, you should seek our consent, right?"
"Yeah, yeah! How can you be so overbearing? You should give us some benefits!"
"Bullying women, what kind of skill is that? Captain, you're supposed to be a real man, but treating women like this, are you still considered one?"
These women were accustomed to controlling men using such tactics, assuming that these newcomers would be as obedient to them as their husbands. Each one acted increasingly arrogant and demanded more.
Dong Hezhi coldly smirked as he watched these women acting arrogantly and haughtily. Suddenly, he burst into laughter, finding these women incredibly naive.
"Slap!" A heavy slap rang out.
Dong Hezhi fiercely slapped He Juan and sneered, "What if I don't give you food? What if I am this rude? Sincere hearts? Damn, that's hilarious. What would I do with the sincere hearts of you bastards?"
With that, Dong Hezhi kicked He Juan to the ground with force. "You, with your kind of attitude, want to seduce me? Look at your own virtue! Someone, get these women for me and deliver them to Lord Evilwhale!"
He Juan's husband, Wang Chao, who had initially been timidly hiding in the crowd, witnessed his wife being beaten. Suddenly, he bravely stepped forward, angrily standing in front of He Juan, and defiantly declared, "How can you hit a woman?! We came here in good faith to join you. What's the meaning of this? Is there no justice?
Today, you won't lay a finger on my wife unless you step over my dead body!"
He Juan stared in disbelief at her husband. This man, who was too timid to even admit her infidelity, was now bravely standing in front of her against these bullies and gun barrels!
In this moment, He Juan's eyes welled up slightly, but it was fleeting.
"Bang!" A gunshot rang out, and Wang Chao's head was instantly blown apart.
Dong Hezhi laughed heartily, stepping on Wang Chao's corpse, and walked back to He Juan. He delivered a ruthless kick to her stomach, saying, "You scumbag! Trying to seduce me right in front of your beloved? Shameless!"
"Wang Chao!" He Juan cried out in horror, looking at Dong Hezhi with fear. She desperately shook her head, pleadingly gazing at the pretty boy who had sworn to protect her for a lifetime.
At this moment, He Juan still clung to the hope that her pretty boy would step forward for her. However, including the pretty boy, none of the men she had relations with came forward. Their faces showed nothing but fear, contempt, and disgust towards He Juan. Read additional content at m-vl-em|p-yr
By now, He Juan finally understood that the sweet words her pretty boy had spoken before were all lies! Their relationship was nothing but a performance!
It was just a ploy to deceive her into getting food from her husband! The only one who, despite being weak and incompetent, had consistently kept his promise and used his life to protect her was her husband.
There was a moment when He Juan considered fighting back, choosing to die together with her husband. However, that thought was fleeting.
Soon, He Juan knelt down, bowing before Dong Hezhi, and begged, "My lord! I am willing to be your dog. I am willing to do anything for you, to obey your every command! Please, spare my life!"
Other women sensed the gravity of the situation and attempted to seek refuge behind their men, hoping for their protection.
At this moment, only the two men with wives stepped forward, enduring their fear as they shielded their wives. The other women, who had roamed between men without husbands, were completely abandoned.
When the women tried to hide behind their men, the men, as if avoiding a plague, immediately stepped back. The pretty boy, in particular, scared off two women seeking his protection by forcefully kicking them away.
Alex, watching everything unfold through binoculars, couldn't help but shake his head slightly. He had learned about their situation from Hong beside him.
Hong watched everything happening inside the Oceanarium Shelter from a distance and couldn't help but let out a cynical laugh.
"Serves them right! These women! They totally deserve it!!" Hong expressed his resentment.
Alex nodded in agreement. These foolish women not only disgusted Alex but also disrupted his plans! Now, Alex's plan to swiftly resolve the shelter by cutting off the women was facing complications.
While Alex was contemplating, a series of gunshots echoed again from inside the Oceanarium Shelter.
Dong Hezhi wasn't a soft-hearted man or a saintly figure. He was a true embodiment of male chauvinism. After witnessing the various despicable acts of women during the apocalypse, Dong Hezhi regarded women as no different from dogs, or even more debased than dogs. The cowardly men around them earned Dong Hezhi's disdain.
Originally, he planned to keep these men as slaves, but he suddenly changed his mind. As the gunshots rang out, the other men also fell into a pool of blood.
The women screamed in terror, cowering on the ground, afraid to lift their heads. Faced with Dong Hezhi's ruthless dominance, these female fighters for women's rights instantly lost their previous arrogance. They no longer spoke of cherishing women or prioritizing ladies. The notion of genuine feelings or equal exchange also became irrelevant.
One by one, they meekly trembled on the ground like dogs, wagging their tails in supplication towards Dong Hezhi.
At this moment, the true nature of these women surfaced. Unfortunately, their husbands, who had died trying to protect them, lay lifeless in the pool of blood.
