Chapter 192: Chapter 192 Unexpected Disaster
Inside the giant cruise ship, just as Count Dekla was complaining about the arrangements within the organization and cursing Simon, the impoverished nobleman who was even distantly related to him, a man nearly two meters tall walked into his office.
When the man saw Dekla, his face, as pale as a dead man, showed no expression, but he half-knelt down respectfully and said:
"Your Excellency, your promotion ceremony has been prepared, but some sacrifices are still missing."
"Bishop Sadler hopes that you can gather a hundred sacrifices as soon as possible. Otherwise, you will have to wait until the Holy Day in half a year to continue with the promotion ceremony."
Dekla frowned upon hearing this and asked:
"Ethan, didn't we capture over a hundred refugees last month? Why do we need them again now?"
The expression of the man named Ethan remained unchanged, but one could still see a hint of embarrassment and anger on his hairless face.
"My Lord, your servants no longer need normal food, so the guys who are watching over the refugees, use our food to feed them."
"Among the more than one hundred refugees, some starved to death, some committed suicide, and some died of illness after eating our food. The remaining thirty or so have gone crazy and can only be used as the lowest level of sacrifice."
Hearing the answer from his capable subordinate Ethan, Draco suppressed his anger and slammed the table in frustration. To be honest, this was also his mistake.
As people infected with parasites, they really no longer need normal food, or they have lost their sense of taste, so it doesn't matter what they eat. Even if they don't eat, there will be no problem as long as they are in a place with high virus and radiation concentrations.
Hearing this voice, Ethan, whose eyes had been transformed by special parasites and could adapt to dark environments better than ordinary people, looked up.
He saw a tall, sturdy man holding a submachine gun, pointing it at them, less than forty or fifty meters away from them.
"According to the intelligence from the organization, there is a large human organization in Florida, and there should be many survivors in it."
He was extremely fast and huge, and when he collided, he was like a speeding truck.
Obviously, before they could implement the strategy of catching the turtle in the jar, their actions had already been noticed by the other party.
At night, in a holiday villa by the beach.
Rick and a few other old guys took Carl and the other young guys with them and spent two hours clearing out several habitable areas inside the villa. Then after discussion, everyone decided to hold a small barbecue party in the yard of the villa.
"Hurry, it's too late. If we go together, they must not be our people. I have never heard of such soldiers."
As Rick and Sean hurried down, seeing their serious faces, the others also realized that something was wrong.
"Don't be suspicious and disturb everyone's good mood."
And usually, the earl's punishment was either death or a sacrifice even more miserable than death.
"I'll take someone over to take a look."
"Are you sure, Rick?"
They must bring back one hundred living sacrifices within five days, otherwise they will definitely face punishment from the count.
......
Soon, as the bullets ran out, the range of movement became smaller and smaller. Facing the siege, fractures, collisions, scratches, internal injuries, all kinds of injuries appeared on these people's bodies.
Unfortunately, there was no response to his orders. In the team of dozens of people, he was the only one who still had the ability to think and communicate. The others, whether they were elite knights in steel armor or low-level servants who looked like corpses, had been completely transformed and controlled by the parasites and turned into puppets that could only accept orders.
Ethan's hoarse voice spread among the team.
"You'd better go down and inform everyone, prepare weapons, and let the women and children hide."
"I will take your knight with me and act together."
Clementine and the others were not idle either. Some helped to process the wood, some were preparing drinks, and some were on the rooftop of the villa, keeping an eye on the surrounding situation.
However, before he could give the order to his soldiers to attack, the people on the opposite side seemed to have realized that they were not friendly and opened fire without any warning.
Not far from the man, there were four or five human figures, holding guns, hiding in bunkers, waiting for orders at any time.
Next to the couple, Carl brought his sister Judith. The two siblings, one big and one small, worked as coolies under Sean's command and learned how to grill meat with charcoal.
Ethan bowed his head respectfully to Draco and said:
"As you command, my Lord."
But the enemy obviously underestimated the defense of the elite knights. The rifle bullets hit their silver-white armor, leaving only a series of dents and failing to penetrate the armor directly.
However, there were only six people after all, and when his elite knights and a large number of servants surrounded them, they could no longer resist the attack.
This group of people were obviously different from ordinary survivors. Even when facing an enemy like him who could withstand rifle attacks, they did not panic and continued to cooperate tacitly in the counterattack.
However, Ethan, who had little human emotion left, did not feel frustrated. He led this group of silent soldiers and slowly walked towards the light.
"What's up, bro?"
Sean burped and asked with some confusion:
"Did you find anything?"
She had already discussed with Karl that when they were both twenty years old, they would hold the wedding with the blessings of their families.
After all, in this era, monsters are rampant, and no one can predict when a group of monsters from unknown origin will suddenly appear and attack them.
"In that case, you can take some servants with you and go get some sacrifices."
That night, according to the orders of Count Dekla, Ethan arrived at the port of Cape Collier in a small boat with twelve elite knights loyal to the Count and fifty low-level servants.
Ethan looked at the people opposite him in silence, without any intention of speaking. He knew the combat effectiveness of the survivors very well and there was no need for any explanation.
Without much words, a few minutes later, Ethan and his soldiers approached the location of the villa. Just when he wanted to disperse his troops, surround the entire villa and catch the turtle in the jar.
"This is the territory of the Human Union Organization. Who are you? Why are you here?"
The main food for the banquet, in addition to the meat they brought with them, was the more than ten-kilogram sea bass caught by Joel, as well as crabs, oysters, lobsters and other seafood caught on the beach by Judith and other little ones. These also became the main ingredients of the party.
Beside them, Sophia looked at them with a smile on her face, occasionally handing them some small tools, or using a towel to wipe the carbon ash off their faces.
In such a hurry, he only had time to roll on the ground, and even the weapon in his hand was thrown away.
By then, they will definitely respond to the policy, give birth to a bunch of children, and form a happy big family.
Now, one of the most glorious ideas in the Human Union is to give birth to babies for the rejuvenation of mankind. Mothers who give birth to the most children for mankind will even become heroes and be personally received by President Lyon.
Sean was stunned for a few seconds, then shook his head, shuddered, and said:
It turned out that their caution was correct. Just as they were laughing and celebrating their rare vacation, they happened to become the target of another group of people.
After the Human Rights Union's massive plundering of resources that year, many of the furniture and decorations in this luxurious villa had been taken away and stored in the Human Rights Union's warehouse. Fortunately, most areas were still clean and not covered with dust and plants, and could be barely used after some cleaning.
Rick looked through the telescope for a few seconds, then stood up hastily and walked downstairs, saying:
"It should be correct. It's eleven o'clock, only a few hundred meters away from our villa. Some of them are wearing metal armor, and I saw the reflection."
There was no crying or arguing. Several women and children who could not fight, such as Judith, Lori, Sophia, Sarah, Judy, etc., were immediately taken back to the car parked outside the villa by Carl under Rick's command.
Sean, who had drunk a little wine and was a little tipsy, came to the top floor to replace his brother Rick, but found that Rick was frowning and staring in one direction with a telescope, as if he had discovered something.
"Although it's hard to see clearly in the dark, there is a group of people heading towards our location. The number cannot be determined."
Just as Ethan was about to attack the other party while he was lying on the ground, he was immediately attacked by three guns from different directions.
Since they have been discovered, they will just crush them openly. In the end, the winners will definitely be those who have been blessed by the Holy Messenger.
Perhaps he had lived this kind of life for too long, and he actually overlooked the fact that ordinary people still need to eat normal food.
......
After getting Rick's definite answer, Sean did not question it at all. He slapped his face hard to sober himself up from his drunken state and said:
"Damn it, this is not going to work. We only have less than ten guns in total. Go and organize the women and children to hide first."
"It looks like we're in trouble."
"Let's go and take a look."
However, as some of the most elite fighters in the Human Alliance, they did not give up their vigilance even at this time. While everyone was enjoying the joy brought by the party, Rick, Sean, Glenn and Clementine would take turns to go up to the top floor of the villa to be on guard.
Fortunately, Ethan had just gotten off the boat with his men when he saw from afar that in the dead silent and dark seaside city, there was a place where tiny lights were flickering, obviously indicating signs of human activities there.
"But, Ethan, you must come back before the Holy Day. I don't want to wait another half a year for my promotion ceremony."
This is a luxury villa of more than 5,000 square meters. In the past, it might cost tens of millions of dollars to buy such a luxury villa on the seaside. However, nowadays, both the owner of the villa and the villa itself have changed.
While they were tinkering with various grilled meats and seafood, Sarah, with the help of her father Joel, was also preparing grilled sea bass for everyone using a hand-cranked barbecue rack.
It only took a moment, from the first bullet being fired to the five or six guns on the opposite side firing at the same time, without any orders at all, they coordinated very tacitly.
Sean, Rick, Clementine, Joel, Glenn and other soldiers who often fought on the front line picked up their weapons and rushed towards the direction where the mysterious figures were coming from.
In the front yard of the villa, Rick held his wife Lori and sat by the swimming pool, enjoying the sea breeze. Lori, who had not left the base for a long time, had a faint smile on her face.
They were all people who had lived in troubled times for many years. They were accustomed to many storms. Although they were very surprised, they quickly made arrangements under the command of several men.
Ethan noticed it once the battle started.
The operation had just begun when he encountered a group of fat sheep that were right within his reach. Even though his brain was already filled with a large number of parasites, Ethan couldn't help but feel a little happy.
Whenever he used his strong defense and swift speed to knock the enemies away, these people would stubbornly attack by concentrating their fire, giving his companions a chance to escape.
The other side obviously did not expect that the enemy they were facing could continue to attack after suffering headshot damage.
The elite knights and low-level servants behind him were also attacked. Three or four low-level servants in cloaks had their heads blown off in an instant, and the elite knights in metal armor were also shot with fire.
Several bullets suddenly hit his feet, and a cold voice came from the front:
"Don't go any further."
Ethan was not concerned about the casualties among his men. In a hurry, after being disfigured by the rifle bullet, a long-lost anger surged in his heart. He put his arms in front of his head and endured the attack from the rifle. His huge body, which was nearly two meters tall, was slightly bent. In just a moment, he pushed off the ground with his legs and rushed towards the opponent at an extremely fast speed.
In fact, only a few people know that the two young people, Sofia and Carl, have recently confirmed their relationship as a couple, but they are both shy and did not tell their relatives and friends about it in a big way.
Just taking advantage of his distraction, the man lying at his feet quickly left his side.
Rick was silent for a few seconds holding the telescope, then suddenly turned to Sean and said:
More than ten minutes later, the barbecue party at the villa had reached its climax. Everyone lit a fire with wood in the front yard and sat around it in a circle, sharing the delicious barbecue, drinking sweet drinks, chatting with each other about interesting stories, and laughing, looking very happy.
Over the years, without human capture and environmental pollution, the fish, shrimps and crabs in the sea are much more abundant than in the past.
Be prepared to retreat at any time in an emergency.
Da-da-da! Da-da-da! Da-da-da!
Ethan, who was standing at the front of the team, was attacked first. Six or seven rifle bullets accurately hit his bald head, which was as dark and blue as a dead man's. Six or seven bullet holes were directly blasted in his skin. The bullets were deeply embedded in the flesh and were blocked by the hard bones, unable to damage his brain.
Even though their willpower was very strong, after enduring so much damage, the human body had reached its limit and they eventually fainted.
It took Ethan and his soldiers more than ten minutes to deal with these six people. If it were not for capturing the survivors alive and preparing sacrifices for the count, there would be no need to go through so much trouble.
However, the tenacious fighting power of these six people made Ethan feel vaguely uneasy. Is this the fighting power that ordinary survivors should have?
Are they some special people?
