Inside the giant cruise ship, just as Count Dekra was complaining about the organization's arrangements and cursing Simon, a man who was almost two meters tall walked into his office.

When the man saw Dekra, his face was as green as a dead man, but his body was very respectfully half-kneeling, and he said:

"Your Excellency, your promotion ceremony has been prepared, but some sacrifices are missing."

"Bishop Sadler hopes that you can gather a hundred sacrifices as soon as possible, otherwise, you will have to wait until the Holy Sacrifice Day in half a year before you can continue with the promotion ceremony."

Hearing this, Dekra frowned and asked:

"Ethan, haven't we already caught more than a hundred refugees last month? Why is it needed again now? ”

The expression of the man named Ethan still did not change, but a hint of embarrassment and annoyance could still be seen on his hairless face.

"Lord Earl, since your servants don't need normal food anymore, the guy who takes care of the refugees and feeds them with our food."

"Some of the more than 100 refugees have starved to death, some have committed suicide, some have died of illness from eating our food, and the remaining thirty or so have gone mad and can only be used as the lowest sacrifices."

Hearing the answer of his right-hand man Ethan, Draco suppressed the anger in his heart, and slapped the table a little depressedly, speaking of which, this matter was also his mistake.

As parasite infected, it is true that they no longer need normal food, or that they have lost their sense of taste, and they can eat the same whatever they eat, even if they do not eat, as long as they are in a place with a high concentration of virus and radiation.

Maybe this life has been going on for too long, and he has ignored the fact that ordinary people still have to eat normal food.

"In that case, you should take some of your servants and go and catch some sacrifices."

"According to the intelligence in the organization, there is a large human organization in Florida, and there should be many survivors in it."

"But, Ethan, you must be back before the Holy Sacrifice Day, and I don't want to wait another half a year for my promotion."

Ethan bowed his head respectfully to Draco and said:

"Yes, Your Excellency."

"I'll take your knight with me and go with you."

………………

At night, in a holiday villa by the beach.

This is a luxury villa of more than 5,000 square meters, if you put it in the past, it may cost tens of millions of dollars to buy such a luxury villa located by the sea, but now, whether it is the owner of the villa or the villa itself, it has become a thing.

After the resources of the People's Federation of People's Federation, many of the furniture decorations in this luxury villa have been taken away and stored in the warehouse of the People's Federation, but fortunately, most of the area is still clean, not covered by dust and plants, and it can barely be used after cleaning up.

Rick and the young men took Carl and the other young men for two hours to clean out the interior of the villa to find a few places to live, and then everyone decided to hold a small barbecue party in the courtyard of the villa.

The main food of the banquet, in addition to some of the meat they brought, the more than ten kilograms of sea bass that Joel caught, as well as a few little guys such as Judith, and the crabs, oysters, lobsters and other seafood caught on the beach also became the main ingredients in the party.

Over the years, without human fishing and environmental pollution, the fish, shrimp and crabs in the sea are much more lush than in the past.

In the front yard of the villa, Rick sat by the pool with his wife Lori blowing the sea breeze, and Lori, who had not been out of the base for a long time, also had a faint smile on her face.

By the couple's side, Carl and his sister Judith together worked as coolies under Sean's command, learning how to grill meat over charcoal.

Beside them, Sophia looked at the two of them with a smile on her face, handing over some gadgets from time to time, or taking a towel to help them wipe the soot on their faces.

In fact, only a few people know that Sophia and Carl, two young people, have recently confirmed their relationship, but both of them are relatively thin-skinned and have not told their relatives and friends in a big way.

She had already discussed with Carl that when they were both twenty years old, the wedding would be held with the blessing of their families.

At present, one of the most glorious ideas of the Human Federation is that the mother who gives birth to a baby for the revival of mankind and gives birth to the most children for mankind will even become a hero and be personally received by His Excellency Lyon, the President of the People's Republic of China.

When the time comes, they will definitely respond to the policy, give birth to a bunch of children, and form a happy family.

While they are tinkering with all kinds of barbecue and seafood, Sarah is also handling the grilled sea bass for everyone with the help of her dad Joel, using the hand-cranked barbecue stand.

Clementine and the others were not idle, some helping with the wood, some preparing drinks, and others on the top floor of the villa to keep an eye on their surroundings.

After all, in this era, monsters are rampant, and no one can say when a group of monsters will suddenly appear and attack them.

Their caution proved to be correct, and just as they were laughing and celebrating their rare getaway, they coincidentally became the target of another group of people.

………………

That night, Ethan, on the orders of the Earl of Derkra, led twelve elite knights loyal to the Earl, and fifty low-ranking servants, to the port of Cape Collier.

They had to bring back a hundred living sacrifices within five days, or they would face punishment from the earl.

Under normal circumstances, the earl's punishment was either the death penalty or a sacrifice worse than the death penalty.

However, fortunately, Ethan had just taken his men off the ship when he saw from a distance that there was a place in the dead black seaside city that shimmered with a little light, obviously there were traces of human activity there.

As soon as the action began, he could come across a flock of fat sheep that were delivered to his mouth, and even though his brain was already crowded with a large number of parasites, Ethan couldn't help but feel a little happy.

"Let's go and have a look."

Ethan's hoarse voice spread through the ranks.

It's a pity that there is no response to his orders, and he is the only one in the entire team of dozens of people who still has the ability to think and talk, and the others, whether they are elite knights in steel armor or those low-level servants who are like dead corpses, have been completely transformed and controlled by parasites, and have become puppets who can only accept orders.

However, Ethan, who had little human emotion left, did not feel any depression, and he led the group of silent soldiers and walked slowly towards the bright position.

Ten minutes later, the barbecue banquet on the side of the villa has also entered the climax, everyone lit a fire with wood in the front yard, sat in a circle, while sharing the delicious barbecue, while drinking sweet drinks, talking to each other about each other's anecdotes, laughing, and looking very cheerful.

However, as the most elite part of the warriors of the Human Federation, even at this time, they did not give up their due vigilance, and when everyone enjoyed the joy brought by the party, Rick, Sean, Glenn and Claymanting would take turns to go up to the top floor of the villa to be on guard.

And Sean, who drank a little wine and was slightly drunk, came to the top floor to replace his brother Rick, but found that Rick was frowning at this time, staring in one direction with a telescope, as if he had found something.

"What's wrong, brother?"

Sean burped and asked with some confusion:

"Did you find anything?"

Rick was silent with the telescope for a few seconds, then suddenly turned to Sean and said:

"We seem to be in trouble."

"Although it is not very clear in the dark, there is a group of people coming to our position, and the number cannot be determined."

"You'd better go down and inform everyone, get your weapons ready, and let the women and children hide."

Sean was stunned for a few seconds when he heard this, then shook his head, snorted, and said:

"Are you sure? Rick. ”

"Don't be suspicious, disturb everyone's good interest."

Rick looked at the binoculars for a few more seconds, then hurriedly stood up, and said as he walked downstairs:

"There should be no mistake, at eleven o'clock, only a few hundred meters away from our villa, some of them are wearing metal armor, I can see the reflection."

"Soon, it's too late, let's go together, it's definitely not our people, I haven't heard of soldiers like that."

After getting Rick's definite answer, Sean didn't have any doubts, patted his face vigorously, sobered himself up from his drunken state, and said:

"Damn, it's not easy, we have less than ten guns in total, you go and organize the women and children to hide first."

"I'll take someone over and have a look."

As Rickshawn and the others hurried down, seeing their serious faces, the others also realized that something was wrong.

They are all characters who have lived in troubled times for many years, and they are used to seeing strong winds and waves, although they are very unexpected, but under the command of several men, they quickly made arrangements.

There was no crying, no argument, and a few women and children like Judith, Lori, Sophia, Sarah, Judy, and others who couldn't fight, were immediately ordered by Rick to be led back to the car parked outside the villa by Carl.

Be prepared to retreat at any time in case of emergency.

And Sean, Rick, Claymanting, Joel, Glenn and other soldiers who often fight on the front line took up their weapons one after another and greeted them in the direction where the mysterious figures came.

Without much to say, a few minutes later, Ethan and his soldiers approached the location of the villa, just as he wanted to disperse his forces, enclose the whole villa, and catch turtles in an urn.

Several bullets suddenly hit his feet, and a cold voice came from the front:

"Don't go any further."

"This is the territory of the People's Federation, who are you? Why did you come here? ”

Hearing this voice, Ethan, who had undergone a special parasite transformation and whose eyes were more adapted to the dark environment than ordinary people, looked up.

He saw that less than forty or fifty meters away from them, a tall, strong-tempered man was holding a submachine gun and aimed the muzzle of the gun at them.

And not far from the man, there were four or five human figures, armed with guns, hiding in bunkers, waiting for orders at any time.

Obviously, before they could implement the strategy of catching turtles in the urn, their actions had already been noticed by the other party.

Ethan looked at the few people opposite in silence, without any intention of speaking, he knew the combat effectiveness of the survivors very well, and there was no need to explain at all.

Now that it has been discovered, let's crush them with dignity, anyway, in the end, it will definitely be those of them who have been blessed by the Holy Messenger who will win.

However, before he could give the order to attack his soldiers, the people on the other side seemed to have noticed their misconduct, and without warning them again, they opened fire directly.

Just in an instant, from the first bullet coming out of the chamber to firing five or six guns on the opposite side together, there was no need for any command at all, and they cooperated very tacitly.

Da-da-da-da! Dada! Da-da-da-da!

Ethan, who was at the front of the line, was the first to be attacked, and six or seven rifle bullets accurately hit his black and bald head like a dead man, directly blasting six or seven bullet holes in his skin, and the bullets were deeply embedded in the flesh, blocked by the hard bones, unable to hurt his brain.

The elite knights and low-level minions behind him were also attacked, and three or four of the low-level minions wearing cloaks were shot in the head in an instant, and the elite knights in metal armor were also shot with bullets.

But the other party also obviously underestimated the defense of the elite knights, and the rifle bullets hit their silver-white armor, leaving only a series of dents, unable to directly penetrate the armor.

Ethan was not killed or injured by his men, in a hurry, after being disfigured by the rifle bullet, a wave of anger surged in his heart for a long time, he blocked his arms in front of his head, bearing the attack of the rifle, and his huge body nearly two meters tall arched slightly, just in an instant, he kicked his legs and slammed into the opponent's position at a very fast speed.

He was extremely fast, very large, and crashed like a speeding truck.

The opponent obviously didn't expect that the enemy they were facing would be able to continue attacking after taking the damage of the headshot.

In a hurry, he only had time to make a roll on the ground, and even the weapon in his hand was thrown away.

And just as Ethan wanted to take advantage of the other party's lying on the ground and attack him, he was immediately besieged by three guns from different directions.

Just taking advantage of his distraction, the man lying at his feet quickly left his side.

As soon as the battle began, Ethan was aware of it.

This group of people was obviously different from ordinary survivors, even in the face of an enemy like him who could withstand rifle attacks, they did not panic, and still tacitly cooperated with the counterattack.

Whenever he used his strong defense and rapid speed to crash into those enemies, these people would stubbornly attack by focusing fire, creating a chance for his companions to escape.

However, there were only six of them, and when his elite knights and a large number of minions surrounded them, they could no longer resist the attack.

Soon, as the bullets ran out, the range of maneuver became smaller and smaller, and in the face of siege, fractures, impacts, scratches, internal injuries, and all kinds of injuries appeared on the bodies of these people.

Even though their willpower is very strong, after taking so many injuries, the human body has reached its limit, and they eventually faint.

And in order to deal with these six people, Ethan and his soldiers spent more than ten minutes, if it were not for the survivors alive and the preparation of sacrifices for the earl, there would be no such trouble.

And the tenacious combat effectiveness of these six people made Ethan feel faintly uneasy, is this the combat power that ordinary survivors should have?

Could it be that they are some special character?
