Chapter 541 [I Love You] (Part 1)
There is no doubt that it was the Duke who saved him.
It seems a little unexpected, but it is also reasonable.
After all, the Duke has always been mysterious and knows a lot, so it makes sense for him to appear here now.
"Your battle with Heisenberg was really exciting, but unexpectedly Miranda suddenly showed up, making the ending of this battle seem not so perfect..."
The Duke's mumbling voice was heard in the swaying carriage.
"Well--"
Ethan shook his dizzy head:
"How long has it been?"
"Oh, it's almost daybreak now,"
The Duke replied:
"You've been unconscious for hours."
"so……"
Ethan reluctantly stood up, struggling to cheer himself up, and said weakly:
"Duke, do me a favor, I have to go find Miranda, Rose is still in her hands."
"Oh, I knew you would say that,"
The Duke was not surprised by Ethan's request:
"We are on our way now and will be there soon."
"call--"
Hearing this, Ethan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief:
"Thank you, Duke."
After saying this, there was a brief silence in the carriage.
Until the Duke spoke again:
"But Ethan...are you really going? Your body...seems to be breaking down."
"certainly."
Ethan didn't hesitate in his answer.
"That's right," the Duke said with a self-deprecating smile, "I'm asking unnecessary questions."
salad--!
Talking!
The carriage also stopped.
"If you insist on going, Mr. Winters, I'm afraid you will never be able to return to the world you used to be in..."
The Duke spoke for the last time before getting off the car.
The world before.
It was obvious that the Duke's words were meant as a double entendre.
The so-called inability to return to the previous world not only means that Ethan can no longer experience the warmth of being with his wife and daughter, but more importantly - as his body continues to deteriorate and collapse, the mold that has maintained his life for three years has now reached its end.
"So, are you ready?"
Came the Duke's voice.
And after a moment's silence, Ethan pulled out his shotgun, loaded the bullets one by one, and then pulled the bolt!
Snap!
"I have to save Rose."
Like all fathers in the world.
No matter how much my body collapses.
But to his bones and blood, he will always be that silent yet reliable towering mountain.
From the day you were born, I was ready to burn and sacrifice at any time.
Because you are my child, the person I love most in my life.
The little girl mistakenly entered the dark forest and was held hostage by the evil witch.
In order to rescue his daughter, the brave father rushed into the jungle without hesitation.
He fought with bloody bats, gambled with strange puppets, fought with ugly big fish, and had a desperate battle with ferocious steel warhorse.
Now, he has had his heart taken out by the evil witch.
But the soul remains strong.
anyway!
He must save his child, even if it costs him everything!
At the same time——
…
On the altar!
The barrier formed by mycelium is like a pitch-black dome covering the dark ceremony.
Miranda opened her hands and sang loudly, her passionate tone filled with fanatical hope!
"Come to me—my Eva—"
"Ah - my dear daughter, I miss you so much -"
As she spoke, Miranda reached her hands into the thick black water.
She slowly carried a tiny baby out from the surging black slime under the altar!
It was Rose who came back from the dead!
However, the next second!
Gurgling——
The moment Miranda held up the resurrected Rose, she felt something strange in her body!
Then, thick black fungal fluid gushed out of her eye sockets uncontrollably, which not only interrupted her passionate chanting, but also made her feel severely injured and on the verge of collapse!
“Ahhh!”
Miranda staggered half a step and looked at the baby Rose with fear:
"My...my power...my power was actually drained away?!"
As the most powerful individual of the fungal virus, Rose is actually madly draining Miranda's power!
"My power...my power is being sucked away?!"
Oops!
Miranda's eyes were full of horror!
The resurrected little baby was still Rose, not her daughter Eva!
Moreover, she seemed to have greatly underestimated Rose's power!
Even though Rose was just a baby at that time, still in swaddling clothes.
But at the moment of her resurrection, she began to suck the power of the fungus master madly like a thirsty plant.
This innate ability is not affected by subjective consciousness at all.
It is an absolute domination of higher life forms over lower life forms, it is a kind of taking and giving that is comparable to a true god descending to the earth!
Even Miranda was helpless against this absolutely crushing power extraction!
And at this moment!
Click——squeak——
There was a sound of branches breaking and snapping!
A pair of hands actually tore apart Miranda's slime mold barrier.
Immediately afterwards, a deafening roar sounded!
"Miranda! I'm back!"
"Now, take my daughter—"
“Give it back to me!!!”
The fire is roaring!
Ethan, furious, holding a shotgun, forced his way through the barrier, with the black muzzle pointing directly at Miranda!
Ethan's return obviously surprised Miranda:
"You... are indeed very special..."
Miranda wrapped Rose up with mycelium temporarily, her eyes filled with brutal murderous intent.
Ethan's return was a surprise to her.
But it was not enough to make her feel worried and scared.
After all, even though her strength was being constantly drained at this moment, Ethan, a fungus beast with self-awareness, could not pose any threat to her.
Think of this!
Miranda couldn't help but feel relieved!
The six black wings behind him spread out, and he raised his dry and sharp left hand and slapped Ethan!
"Noisy mortals are annoying. Go to hell..."
Buzz——!
BANG——!!!
Accompanied by the sound of sharp claws and wind!
A dull gunshot rang out!
The furious shotgun shells suddenly hit Miranda's sharp claws, shattering her fierce attack!
Ethan's anger was far beyond her imagination!
Snap!
Bolt pulled!
Ethan was like a fearless god of war emerging from the flames, approaching Miranda head-on!
Three years ago, his wife was caught up in this biochemical crisis.
The big guys are busy all day with missions, plans, wars, and experiments.
He was like a small boat, going through numerous hardships and dangers to rescue his lover Mia.
Mia was also tired of this kind of life and decided to live a good life on her own. With the help of Chris, she quit the organization and stayed at home to take care of her husband and children.
Three whole years.
The ordinary and warm life has even made him gradually forget the nightmarish experience.
The birth of Rose made him, as a new father, feel the preciousness of an ordinary life.
However!
Miranda's appearance broke everything.
The peaceful life was shattered and the beloved daughter fell into the vortex of the devil's clutches.
I'm just an ordinary person, an honest man.
I just want an ordinary life, to grow old with Mia, and to watch Rose grow up day by day.
But why is it so difficult for an honest person to live a simple life?
Should honest people be bullied?
Should honest people be unconditionally controlled by you with your dirty, bloody hands?
Boom! Snap !
Ethan's eyes were bloodshot, and his furious footsteps seemed to set the ground beneath his feet on fire. He pulled the trigger repeatedly, and the bullet casings scattered everywhere. The exploding shotgun shells blasted Miranda, causing black blood to splatter everywhere!
"Fuck you..."
Boom! Snap!
"Fuck you!"
Boom! Snap!
"Fuck you!!!"
At this moment, Ethan has transformed into a furious immortal god of war. Holding a shotgun, he looks like a roaring lion or an overturned mountain. He takes such fierce and furious steps that he actually blasts Miranda back again and again!
Indeed.
I am a mortal, an ordinary citizen, a man of no importance.
But a common man's anger is enough to make your blood splatter five steps away!
"I'm saying this one last time! Give my daughter back to me—!"
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Suddenly, loud explosions sounded in the barrier, and Miranda's screams and Ethan's furious roars continued to be heard -!
"Rose is mine! Mine! She is my Eva—"
"Fuck you crazy bitch! Give me Rose back! Give me my daughter back!"
"You don't understand, you don't understand at all! When Rose and the Fungus Master combine, my child will be reborn! I will give her a perfect life..."
"The premise of her perfect life is to kill you, you bastard!"
“Ahhhhhhhh——! Ethan——! You must die here today——!”
"Shut up, fuck you! I'm already a dead man! You think I care?!"
“…”
Crazy confrontation!
Players invested all the resources they had worked so hard to collect, and while cursing along with Ethan, they unleashed the most furious firepower in the game so far, unreservedly on the final BOSS Miranda who was constantly changing her form!
Empty your shotgun? No problem! There's always a sniper rifle!
Sniper rifle is empty? No problem! There's still Magnum!
The Magnum is empty? No problem! We still have the Grenade Launcher!
Hand sanitizer poured over his body, and the crazy regeneration even made Ethan dare to stand on his own landmine and confront Miranda head-on!
Miranda, who is at the end of her strength, is also relentless and is determined to kill Ethan today!
Asphalt-like vines spread out from the ground, instantly piercing Ethan's calves and hanging him up!
Miranda had gone crazy, laughing shrilly and grabbing Ethan with her dry and sharp claws!
Countless wounds of varying sizes appeared on Ethan's chest and legs. As his body gradually broke down, Ethan could no longer repair himself as quickly as before.
For a moment, black blood splattered on the altar and the scene was extremely bloody!
Now, all abilities and tricks have become ineffective.
This was a bloody fight.
Click!
When Miranda used her claws to cut a deep gash in Ethan's body again!
Ethan finally seized the best opportunity and pressed the barrel of the gun hard against Miranda's forehead!
The last large-caliber Magnum bullet!
"Go to hell, you bastard!"
Boom——!!!
