Rains's inexplicable death directly caused the remaining living crew on the Sea Serpent to collapse, some directly threw away their weapons and knelt on the ground and chose to surrender, while others jumped into the sea with wooden barrels, trying to escape far away.

By the time Joanna climbed onto the deck of the ship, there were less than a hundred captives left on the ship, and more than thirty living corpses standing motionless.

The sight of corpses and the pungent smell of blood made the two ships look like purgatory, and the intestines, internal organs, and brains flowed everywhere, which directly made the young girl can't help but start retching.

No way!

She was so well protected since she was a child that she didn't understand how cruel the outside world was.

However, as the old Banku, who performed the duties of the first mate, he immediately approached and lowered his voice and said tentatively: "Honorable Excellency, may I ask what we are going to do with this ship next, and the remaining pirates?"

"What do you think?" Zhang Cheng kicked the ball back with a smile.

"I think we can recruit them!After all, the Sea Serpent is a big ship, and we can't drive it alone, and then sail to the nearest port and sell the treasure and the original small ship. Old Banku cautiously gave advice.

He is not an idiot, he knows that his young lady is actually a complete puppet, and it is the man in front of him who seems to be full of mystery and danger at the moment.

In particular, it is an incredibly powerful force that can not only unleash the scorching flames that will burn people to charred corpses, but also seize control of the living corpses and quietly kill the most famous pirates like Lines.

To be exact, as long as Zhang Cheng stays on this ship for a day, then no one will dare to disobey his will.

As the centuries have elapsed since the catastrophe struck, most people have long since abandoned the old notions of freedom and equality in favor of a strong desire for power, wealth, and power.

No one would be foolish enough to go against a man with unrivalled supernatural powers, let alone think that he could stoke public opinion to bring the owner of great power to its knees.

Contrary!

After entering the new era, things like the slaughter of cities and genocide are as simple as eating and drinking.

Defy?

Riot?

Revolt?

Just one word!

Kill!

Kill them all!

One kills one!

There is a family to kill the family!

There is a city slaughtering a city!

When individual strength reaches a certain tipping point, numbers can no longer form an overwhelming advantage as before.

The masters of the supernatural power have too many ways to take revenge on the civilians who rebel against their rule if they are willing, and the leaders who take the lead cannot escape death, so over time the people at the bottom have developed the habit of going against the grain.

Looking at the awe and fear revealed in the old man's eyes, Zhang Cheng nodded casually: "Yes." As for these trivial matters, you can just look at it. Besides, I'll leave all those living corpses to you to command, and if any of the captives dare to make trouble, then it's time for them, and I don't want tourists to disturb my rest, understand?"

"Rest assured, I promise that none of them will dare to make trouble. On this sea, it has always been the strong who reign, and the weak either kneel on the ground and honestly surrender, or become cold corpses. ”

Old Banku touched his chest with one hand and bowed respectfully, then turned around and began to direct the surviving men, screening the captives, first pulling out those ordinary pirates as slaves, and those with positions were temporarily locked up, and after a while, they would consider whether to release them for their own use.

You must know that ordinary pirates, no matter how fierce they are, will basically not have much leadership ability because of their knowledge and experience, so they don't have to worry too much about them gathering to launch a rebellion.

But those veterans with positions are different, they have experienced too much, and they have a certain prestige among ordinary pirates, and they can unite a group of people without paying attention, and even if they don't start a rebellion, they will draw together their former companions to form a separatist force.

Watching the old man instruct the coolies to throw the corpses into the sea and use the sea water to scrub the traces of battle on the deck, Zhang Cheng nodded with satisfaction, ignoring the girl who was still lying next to the fence and retching, and walked into the captain's room of the Sea Serpent alone.

After a few moments, he found a silver badge with a capital "F" in a locked wooden box.

"Sure enough, it's a lord. I didn't expect that after so many years, the council is still the same, and it hasn't even changed the things used to identify it. ”

Throwing the silver badge aside, Zhang Cheng took out the satellite phone from his magic waist bag that had been strengthened by countless runes, and dialed the only number on it.

After just a few seconds, a familiar voice came through the microphone: "Master, is that you?"

"Yes, it's me, Adam. How have you been doing all these years?" Zhang Cheng greeted with a chuckle.

Maybe hundreds of years is too long for a mortal with a lifespan of only fifty or sixty years, but for a human with a near-immortal life, it is only a blink of an eye.

Needless to say, the intelligence agency he created back then was the only organization on the planet that had preserved all the technology, knowledge, healing, and some of the industrial capabilities that preceded the disaster.

It is even possible to relaunch satellites every few decades to ensure the proper functioning of communications and surveillance systems.

"I'm doing so well! I'm even beginning to understand the complex emotions of human beings. Also, at your request, I have completed a study on genetic mutations in humans over the last few hundred years, and I need to send it to you right away?" Adam showed perfect obedience as always, and immediately shifted the conversation to his task.

Zhang Cheng refused without thinking: "No, there's no need to be in such a hurry. I need your help right now. ”

Adam: "Please command." ”

"Give me a map of the North American continent at the moment, preferably with towns and villages. While there is no sign of the gods awakening, I have a hunch that those guys must be hiding in the shadows and plotting something. Zhang Cheng touched his chin and made a meaningful request.

"Got it, please give me two days to sort it out, and I'll send it to your phone later." ”

"Very good! Keep watching, and let me know if you notice any faith or miracles. ”

After saying this, Zhang Cheng hung up the phone directly and stuffed it into the personal pocket of the captain's coat.

As a titan with his mind full of dark thoughts, he would not believe that after such a terrible catastrophe on Earth, it can even be said that after the destruction and restart of civilization, those gods can continue to sleep peacefully, and there must be some ulterior conspiracy behind this.
