Li Ranqiu looked at Feng Yue with pleading eyes, desperately trying to evoke the affection he once had for her. She even silently prayed in her heart, deciding that if Feng Yue would spare her, she would follow him closely and treat him well. However, she soon realized that this tactic was no longer effective on Feng Yue!
Feng Yue, who once loved her dearly, was now equally furious! If she had chosen not to deceive him in the beginning and had honestly admitted to having had a boyfriend and intimate encounters with him, even if Feng Yue felt disgusted, he would not have been so angry.
She had painstakingly created an image of a beautiful, pure, untouchable goddess for Feng Yue, and now she had shattered that image with her own hands. She revealed her promiscuity and shamelessness, and he learned of her initial deception, even discovering that the child in her womb was not his own. How could he not be angry? How could he possibly forgive her?
Feng Yue continued to increase the pressure on her with his foot, but he did not intend to kill Li Ranqiu or cause her severe injuries. This woman had deceived him for so long and had even made him a laughingstock in front of Bai Ye and his group! Letting her die would have been too easy on her!
Thinking this, Feng Yue withdrew his foot, stood beside Li Ranqiu, and as she sighed in relief and looked up hopefully, he crouched down and grabbed her chin, saying, "Did you think I didn’t know? The bastard in your belly is not mine! Didn’t you say I was your first man? Then how is this bastard already a month and a half old?"
Li Ranqiu’s face turned pale in an instant; she trembled and her now pale lips shook as she shook her head and defended herself, "No! It’s not like that! Brother Feng, listen to me, I really didn’t lie to you, this child is truly yours! It must be the doctor who made a mistake, you are my first man, how could I possibly be pregnant for a month and a half?"
"Not admitting it, huh? I knew you wouldn’t." Feng Yue scoffed coldly, then released Li Ranqiu’s chin, grabbed her hair, and pulled her up from the ground.
Her hair was dyed a beautiful coffee color, styled into large curls at the ends, and because it was well-maintained, not only was it smooth, it also shone brilliantly, complementing her pale skin and delicate oval face beautifully.
Feng Yue had once loved touching her hair and used to handle it very gently, afraid of hurting Li Ranqiu. But this time, he no longer had any of his past compassion and appreciation, he grabbed a handful of hair and yanked hard. Li Ranqiu cried in pain, reaching up with both hands to protect her scalp, and stood up from the ground of her own accord.
But before she could stabilize herself, Feng Yue roughly dragged her outside. She begged all along the way, but Feng Yue ignored her pleas, dragging her down the stairs and finally into the basement, where he threw her to the ground.
Li Ranqiu kept massaging her scalp because of the rough treatment by Feng Yue, which made her scalp hurt terribly. As she massaged, a lot of hair fell off. Some hair broke in the middle, while some was pulled out from the roots.
Li Ranqiu had never suffered such torture before. Watching her hair continuously fall, she screamed in fright, curling up on the ground and crying even more sorrowfully.
Feng Yue paid no attention to her and instead found a coil of coarse rope. He threaded one end through a hook in the ceiling, then forcefully pulled off her clothes, stripped her completely, and tied her up with the rope.
The rope, full of rough bristles, pricked Li Ranqiu’s tender skin, causing her great discomfort. She looked terrified, crying and struggling, continuously begging Feng Yue for mercy. She was just an Ordinary Person without Awakening, her strength nowhere near enough to break free from Feng Yue’s grip.
Feng Yue quickly tied her up, then pulled the rope, lifting her until only the tips of her toes could touch the ground, making it impossible for her to stand steadily.
After securing the rope at a suitable height, Feng Yue ignored Li Ranqiu’s pleas and violently raped her for the first time.
Watching Li Ranqiu faint from being unable to endure his brutal violation, Feng Yue’s gaze grew even colder. He would not kill this woman who dared to deceive him and make him a fool. He would keep her alive to continuously torture her, reminding himself how foolish he had once been!
Bai Ye and Fang Yuxin and others left the settlement behind after they departed. They did not specifically treat those infected with the Zombie Virus as they left the settlement. Fang Yuxin had done what she could to help; whether these people could survive depended on their own will to live.
