rebuilding in walking dead

Another day passed in a blink of an eye, and Lyon finally got good news. Based on the information obtained from Ethan, the search team finally found the giant cruise ship he described on a deserted island dozens of miles away from the port.

But at the same time, another difficult problem was placed before him.

According to Ethan's description, the current owner of the cruise ship, Count Drake, is not aware of the identities of Rick and others and just thinks they are ordinary survivors.

If Leon demanded that they hand over Rick and the other six people in a tough manner, would it alert Count Dekla or the man called Bishop Sadler, and then use Rick and the others as threats, making their rescue operation more complicated?

It's not that Lyon is indecisive or thinks too much, because according to Ethan's description, both Count Dekla and Bishop Sadler are extremely evil people who despise life.

Basically, any survivor who falls into their hands will either be used as experimental material or controlled by parasites and become their puppet cannon fodder or a monster.

This time, the reason why they came to the Human Alliance's territory to capture survivors was because Count Dekla needed to complete a special ritual and had to gather one hundred living people as sacrifices.

Such a person is simply the epitome of scum in the end times, and is scum that must be eliminated.

According to Leon's past style, if Rick and others were not on the cruise ship, he would definitely send out bombers to destroy that group of bastards and their nest directly.

However, the main purpose of this operation is to rescue people. Even if he wants to take revenge, he has to wait until the hostages are rescued.

In fact, Dekla knew very well that the reason why Ethan had not returned until now was probably that he encountered a strong enemy and was eliminated by others.

"Otherwise, if you do anything wrong, death will be your only outcome."

However, his idea was soon confirmed. While he was still thinking about it, the people dressed as soldiers who followed Ethan launched an attack on them without hesitation.

However, facing so many people, Rick and his crew had firm eyes and looked ready to die.

"Then, His Excellency the President can let go and eliminate the enemies here."

As he spoke, he asked the soldiers who had followed him to untie their cloaks and place the equipment hidden under the cloaks on the ground.

After a little confusion, both sides immediately resolved the misunderstanding.

Then, the Spanish count looked at another capable general in front of him and said:

"Sir Locksim, you must set off now and take three hundred low-level servants with you to Florida to support Knight Ethan. Be sure to bring back enough sacrifices before the promotion ceremony."

The three hundred low-level servants behind Locksim were totally unprepared and suffered heavy losses in an instant. Every part of their body suffered severe blows, and they had no choice but to transform into insects, transforming into ugly and weird insect-like monsters.

This strong contrast gave Locksim some bad thoughts.

After obtaining enough intelligence, they knew very well that they were facing parasites infected with strong vitality, and it was more difficult to kill them in areas with complex terrain.

Just as they were wondering, a hoarse voice rang out from the gunfire.

Not only are these people tall, agile and powerful, but their bodies are also bulging under their cloaks, obviously hiding a lot of things.

"Don't worry, Colonel Daryl. I'm already aware of the gap in strength between Dekla and your organization. I can't possibly help that guy who is doomed to fail."

Not only were they wearing uniform military uniforms, but they were also equipped with very sophisticated equipment. They looked completely different from the low-level servants around him who were only wearing tattered cloaks and dirty clothes.

Unlike Ethan and those low-level servants, as a Spanish noble like Dekla, due to some kind of inherent arrogance in his bloodline, his transformation method is more similar to Dekla's.

Falling to the ground, Locksim raised his head cautiously, and when he found that the soldiers were not attacking him, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the body is still controlled by the superior parasite, the intelligence is largely preserved.

"Go ahead, Sir Locksim. I just want enough living sacrifices. If necessary, I don't mind even if you sacrifice all your low-level servants."

"Don't kill me, I surrender!"

"But I'm not sure if the people behind you can dive away safely."

After everyone successfully boarded the giant cruise ship, Daryl, who had been following Viscount Locksim, whispered in his ear:

Locksim, who was a Spanish noble like Dekla, nodded. As one of the few managers who still retained intact intelligence in the entire giant cruise ship, he would not openly disobey the orders of any superior manager.

.........

Fortunately, they had a responsible leader. It was thanks to the unremitting efforts of President Leon, who mobilized the power of the organization, and a little bit of luck, that they did not have the opportunity to carry out dangerous self-rescue actions.

"We can accept your surrender, but you must obey all our orders."

The other person was a handsome middle-aged military officer with a sloppy beard on his face, but his eyes were firm and his every move was full of masculine charm.

Interestingly, when Roxim brought Daryl and the Human League warriors to the dungeon, what greeted them was not the dying prisoners and companions, but a long-planned sneak attack.

"The first option is to use the melta gun to melt through the wall of this giant cruise ship, and then use these diving devices to escape to a nearby deserted island."

Daryl looked at Rick and said seriously:

Although he subconsciously rejected this possibility, because past experience told him that even if a human whose brain had been modified by parasites self-destructed, it would be impossible for him to betray his master.

On one side are the unprepared and poorly equipped parasite infected people, and on the other side are elite soldiers equipped with various heavy weapons. The combat effectiveness of the two sides is simply not on the same level.

A large amount of artillery fire, endless, came towards them like a torrential rain.

Threatened by Daryl, Locksim smiled awkwardly and said in a flattering tone:

"Thank you, Daryl."

Thinking of Ethan's efficiency in the past few days, Dekra suddenly became a little anxious. If the promotion ceremony could not be completed this month, he would have to wait another half a year.

"Remember to be honest, Loxim."

At night, still in the luxurious office in the giant cruise ship.

Of course, if the person in charge of guarding the cruise ship was a normal person with normal intelligence and a good understanding of his own people, he should be able to easily see that this group of people was completely different from the group of servants who left before.

This time, in addition to more than thirty people who looked like captured sacrifices, there were more than two hundred people wearing black cloaks, whose figures could not be seen clearly, and dressed like low-level servants.

It was not until the battle was over and he heard a deep male voice coming from the opposite side that he carefully raised his head and looked at the other party.

While he was shouting, a figure with bullet holes all over his body and multiple injuries rushed out from the smoke, shouting "surrender" and falling to the ground. It was the leader, Viscount Locksim.

Whistling rockets, roaring heavy machine guns, and flying high-explosive grenades.

Obviously, faced with an irresistible force, most people with normal intelligence would follow their survival instinct and choose to surrender.

However, soon, the soldiers of the Human Alliance discovered a strange phenomenon. The insect-like monsters they attacked did not withstand the attack and pounce on them. Instead, they just kept turning around in the same place like headless flies. They were slaughtered unilaterally like ants that had lost their command.

Two hours later, Sir Locksim arrived at the port in an old wooden sailing ship with three hundred low-level servants.

Obviously, even without the rescue plan of Daryl and others, Rick and his companions would not surrender and were ready to fight to the death.

"I can surrender too! Don't kill me!"

"The second option is to fight. When you are ready, I will send a signal to the President, and then we will cooperate with the soldiers in the organization to eliminate these monsters."

However, these low-intelligence infected people who have been transformed by parasites obviously do not have such ability.

When the guards saw the ship and Viscount Locksim, they let them go easily without any questioning, because they knew very well that if low-level people like them offended the management, they would only end up dead.

.........

Count Dekla looked angry and said to the bald knight who was half-kneeling in front of him:

But he didn't care about the life and death of Ethan and Lockhim. After all, he could get obedient subordinates easily now. But he really didn't want to delay his promotion ceremony.

Ethan's current behavior made him involuntarily think of betrayal.

Because as the host of the parasite, the suppression of the lower parasite by the upper parasite is almost absolute. Unless they are willing to abandon their human bodies and transform into ugly, brainless mutant monsters, they will never be able to resist the orders of the superior.

"The President has given us three options."

But even if they transformed into insect-shaped bodies, they were still unable to withstand the artillery fire.

Moreover, it's not just the difference in combat power. The ambush locations of these human coalition soldiers are also quite particular.

He was a smart man and knew that his life and death depended on the commander's thoughts. He lay on the ground honestly without any resistance until all his men were killed.

.........

"I only hope that you can spare my life when you eliminate these villains. Then I will tell you all the information I know."

"Locksim, this is your name, right?"

Seeing this, Colonel Daryl, who was in charge of commanding the battle, thought for a few seconds and did not let the soldiers continue to attack him. Instead, he chose to wipe out all the subordinates he brought with him.

No matter what, these monsters will be a scourge if they stay.

"Don't try to be clever, or I'll immediately detonate the bomb in your body and turn you into a pile of minced meat."

The ones who attacked them were a group of prisoners who had escaped from the cage and were holding some scrap metal. They seemed to want to fight them to the death. Leading them were Rick Sean and others.

The world is so chaotic now, who knows what will happen in half a year.

"First take us to the place where the sacrifice is imprisoned, and then go report to that earl."

"Ethan is a loser. It's been three days and he has only sent six sacrifices. Now the total number of sacrifices is less than fifty, not even half of the requirements for the promotion ceremony."

"Thank you for risking your life to come here and rescue us."

So they did not ambush in a port near the sea, nor in a city with complex terrain, but chose open terrain in the wild.

"At this rate, there is no way he can complete the task I assigned to him."

"Yes, sir, I will set out now."

After his observation, he found it strange that the group of people around Ethan were neither the knights and servants who followed him, nor the sacrifices they captured, but a group of characters who looked like they were not easy to mess with.

In addition to the firearms they carried, there were also Rick and others' guardian armor and a large number of diving equipment.

Hearing this, Daniel looked at the unconscious Dak and Joel with a headache, then looked at the dozens of emotionally excited and crazy captives standing behind Rick and others, and said:

Despite all the disadvantages, the battle quickly entered a white-hot stage.

After the group boarded the cruise ship, with the senior manager Locksim leading the way, no one dared to stop them. Under the guidance of the guide, they smoothly arrived at the dungeon on the bottom floor of the cruise ship where the sacrifice was imprisoned.

Daryl observed the situation around him and said without emotion:

Rick was indeed very moved. He reached out and patted Daryl on the shoulder, and asked with some emotion:

When they found nothing in Cape Collier and were about to go to other cities, they unexpectedly found Ethan, who had been waiting there, and a group of about three hundred people who were following Ethan.

"As long as you behave well, I believe in the mercy of His Excellency the Great President and will spare your life."

In the early hours of the morning, the sky and the earth were dark. A wooden sailboat suddenly came over from outside the giant cruise ship of Dekla. The tall and bald Viscount Locksim stood on the bow, looking very conspicuous.

"Now, what do we do? Do you have a plan?"

"The third option is that we wait for Locksim to help us conceal the situation, then disguise ourselves as his servants again and leave with him on the boat."

"However, in addition to worrying about Locksim's betrayal, this option also has a certain chance of being exposed when leaving with him."

"By then, we won't have the terrain advantage we have now, and will be in an awkward position where we will be attacked from both sides."
