Chapter 58: Chapter 57: Enclosure Text · Suppression · The Last Power!

In the dream cabin, Song Chu had just exchanged two moves with the young man in military uniform before he suddenly woke up.

He opened his eyes and found himself leaning against the door of the shelter.

The sharp-tongued girl’s voice abruptly echoed in his mind: “Just now, Ma Ran used himself as a hostage to save you from the alien creature.”

“Hurry and go out to rescue people!”

“Ma Ran and that alien life form are just outside the passage!”

Su Qiangwei’s tone was urgent: “That alien life form is shaped a bit like a walnut, golden, very conspicuous!”

“You should be able to see it at a glance!”

As for what exactly to do, Su Qiangwei was at a loss too.

She had never been on a battlefield before.

As a girl who grew up in a time of peace, Su Qiangwei was somewhat flustered now, speaking her thoughts as they came, hoping to provide as much useful information as possible.

“After going out, immediately find Ma Ran’s tactical backpack.”

“There are many high explosive grenades inside.”

“You can use this to threaten the ’Nightmare Mother’ and make it wary!”

Hearing this, although Song Chu felt his brain was dizzy, and every muscle fiber was sending out alarm signals of overstrain, he still gritted his teeth and crawled to his feet using both hands and feet.

Then…

He sprinted toward the entrance of the passage!

His legs had lost all sensation and could not feel pain.

Song Chu was barely able to stay standing, moving entirely by the inertia of his body.

Stumbling and staggering, he felt a numb sensation in his brain.

Bam!

After barely running a few dozen meters, Song Chu fell heavily to the ground, sliding forward two or three meters, the skin on the side of his face and eye corner rubbed raw by the rough ground, oozing blood.

He was in a terribly miserable state.

Song Chu’s Inner Qi was almost exhausted and depleted, his heart pounding wildly, making him suspect it might leap out of his throat.

He could no longer stand up!

Song Chu’s current state was like running a three-thousand-meter race after staying awake for three days and nights without sleep.

His brain was sending out frantic warning signals.

Stop!

You need rest!

If you don’t stop, you might suddenly die here!

But…

He completely ignored the screams and cries of his body cells.

Song Chu now knew only one thing—

Ma Ran didn’t betray his trust! And moreover, fully believed in him after just one encounter!

So…

Song Chu absolutely could not drop the ball at this critical moment!

“Ma Ran…”

“Wait for me!”

A fierce and grim light flashed in Song Chu’s eyes.

His limbs were as soft as noodles, as if the bones had been extracted.

Yet he strained to crawl outside the passage using all four limbs.

…

Soft light entered his eyes, and Ma Ran squinted slightly, surveying the surrounding environment.

Clear skies, gentle winds.

Under the great mountain, gentle ripples spread across the clear lake.

“Is this the dream you specifically constructed?”

Ma Ran’s gaze landed on the golden walnut not far away: “Blue skies, white clouds, green mountains, and waters, the air is so fresh, it feels very real.”

“It’s almost like I’m not dreaming.”

Saying this, Ma Ran pinched his arm: “Even the pain can be simulated…”

“It’s indeed just as I thought.”

The nightmare mother body 98725, which looked like a walnut, gave a sinister laugh.

Even though 98725 lacked the hardware organs like vocal cords to make sounds, unlike outside, this was a dream, its home turf.

It could do whatever it wished here!

Its abilities could be fully utilized in the dream!

In the words of Earthlings, that would be…

Riding a dragon on one’s face! How could one lose?!

Amidst the sinister laughter, the nightmare mother 98725’s body gradually expanded and transformed into the shape of a faceless giant.

Three meters, five meters, ten meters!

Fifty meters, a hundred meters, three hundred meters!

Transformed into a faceless giant, it possessed immense strength, moving mountains and filling seas with ease!

It only needed one finger to crush Ma Ran to death!

The nightmare mother 98725 thought so and did so.

A giant finger, thick as a pillar, descended from the sky, striking fiercely at Ma Ran!

Boom!

Dust scattered everywhere!

Shattered stones flew!

Like boiling, the lake bubbled, bringing up waves of mist.

The mountains shook, with giant rocks continuously falling.

However…

After launching the attack, the Nightmare Mother’s laughter abruptly ceased.

Under this ultimate strike powerful enough to shake the heavens and earth…

Ma Ran was actually unscathed?!

He didn’t even bother to move, resembling those scenario dummies with the “never damaged” trait in low-quality online games.

How could such a thing happen?

Ma Ran spread open his right hand, and mysterious black lines floated above it.

These black lines gradually sketched into cryptic patterns and inscriptions.

“When it comes to manipulating the five senses and creating illusions, you’re way out of your league.”

The term “natural enemy” Ma Ran mentioned to Song Chu earlier wasn’t said lightly.

In his past life, a supernatural phenomenon researcher had conducted research using the corpse of a Nightmare Mother and concluded—Master Youwen is the Nightmare’s natural enemy!

However, this report only remained at the experimental and hypothetical stage, and until Earth’s destruction, a second Nightmare Mother never appeared.

Now, Ma Ran has confirmed the validity of this hypothesis through practice!

Ma Ran raised his hand, and the Nightmare Mother 98725, turned into a faceless giant, floated into the air.

The five fingers closed!

Ka-cha!

Ka-cha!

Ka-cha!

An abrupt pair of bronze-colored giant hands grabbed the faceless man firmly, crushing bones and snapping tendons.

was in excruciating pain, utterly powerless to resist.

But it refused to submit!

could sense that the mysterious inscriptions Ma Ran controlled were indeed restraining it.

But in terms of spiritual power alone…

While Ma Ran was undoubtedly strong, unlike normal Earth humans, he wasn’t that much stronger!

Just slightly superior!

If not for the destruction caused by Ma Ran over the previous six days, wiping out the spores it released, it could have ignored the restraining rules and crushed Ma Ran using sheer spiritual power!

But alas…

There aren’t that many ifs in the world.

With spiritual power just a notch higher, coupled with Youwen’s restraint…

The dual factors combined utterly dissipated 98725’s home-field advantage!

Though it struggled with all its might, transforming into various forms—from wolves, tigers, leopards, and dragons, to planes and tanks—it was no match for Ma Ran and was crushed all the way through.

After taking a severe beating, the bruised and battered 98725 finally came to its senses.

Why was it fighting Ma Ran here?

Wasn’t there still a final trump card?!

acted swiftly, attempting to control Xiao Wang to kill Ma Ran’s body from the outside!

The human body is very fragile!

If the heart or brain is damaged, it becomes almost impossible to save, with nearly certain death!

It refused to believe Ma Ran had another way to turn the tables!

…

Song Chu crawled out of the underground tunnel, struggling to open his slightly swollen eyelids, only to see a young man in a military uniform holding a combat dagger, about to stab Ma Ran.

That person…

Was the same victim trapped together with him in the dream cabin earlier!

It seemed the Nightmare Mother had already taken control of him.

In an instant, Song Chu’s heart almost stopped beating.

At the critical moment, Su Qiangwei’s voice suddenly echoed in his heart.

“Ma Ran! Song Chu!”

“This is my last bit of power!”

As soon as the words fell, Song Chu immediately sensed a mysterious energy sprouting rapidly in the nearly dehydrated cells.

The limbs, previously heavy as if filled with mercury, suddenly became light.

Without any time to think, he instinctively charged forward.

Bang!

The dagger was knocked away, and Song Chu held the young soldier Xiao Wang tightly.

He pressed his forehead hard against the other’s, his face twisted, his eyes terrifying.

“Soldier against soldier…”

“General against general!”

“If you want to meddle in Ma Ran’s battle…”

“Have you got my permission?”
