In an instant, a herd of wolves emerged from behind the nearby bushes. Many sharp glances of eyes looked straight at Ethan, letting out a gnashing sound of teeth. The feathers on Ethan's back stood upright, and he knew he had to be ready for a new battle.
From the darkness, rumbling and growling sounds began to be heard. Ethan turns his head and sees in shock that he is already surrounded by a pack of wolves. His eyes widened as he realized that this was not an ordinary wolf, but a large and ferocious wolf.
The wolves looked at Ethan with an evil appetite. They saw him as a weak and easily conquered prey. However, Ethan would not give up so easily.
Ethan gathers his last daring and pulls out the knife he brought from the previous fight. His firearm wasn't brought because Ethan knew bullets couldn't hurt werewolves at all. It's still more effective than a knife because Ethan has seen knife cuts on werewolves for longer than previous fights. He held the knife tightly, ready to face their attack.
The first wolf jumps towards Ethan, trying to bite and claw him. Ethan quickly dodges and stabs the wolf with a knife. The wolf roared in pain and fell to the ground, but the other wolves were unshakable. They continued to attack with sharp teeth and claws.
The wolves are shocked by Ethan's fierce resistance. Some were seriously injured and retreated for a moment. However, it was only for a short while as they immediately came back to attack with more anger and ferocity.
While dodging, Ethan tried to find a gap to attack. Every move and attack he made was done with utmost precision and strength. He tried to immobilize the wolves one by one, directing the knife stabs with deadly precision.
Ethan uses a knife with his skills, swinging it with precision and strength. Every move was aimed at the vital points of the wolves attacking him. However, the wolves also did not want to lose even though there were already some wolves that were sprawled. His teeth are sharp and his claws are strong, trying to hurt Ethan with every chance.
However, the number of wolves and their ferocious strength make the fight even more difficult for Ethan. He felt the teeth clawing at his body, his blood rushing. The stabbing pain made it even more difficult to endure.
In an increasingly desperate state, Ethan feels adrenaline coursing through his blood. He let out a shout full of courage and launched a counterattack with unfathomable force. The blade danced nimbly, piercing and slicing the wolves viciously.
Eventually, after a long and exhausting struggle, Ethan manages to knock out almost all the wolves. However, there was one biggest wolf left, the leader of the herd. The wolf looked at Ethan with eyes filled with murderous lust.
Finally, after a long and grueling fight, Ethan is able to defeat the last wolf with a stab in its heart. The wolf fell to the ground with a faint, helpless voice again. Ethan's breath was panting as he knelt around the many corpses of the wolf pack that were strewn about.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself from the battle that had just occurred. His new wounds began to feel and fatigue began to hit. He knew he couldn't stay here too long. Help was heading, and he had to make the most of the time.
Ethan continues his journey in shaky steps, relying on the last remaining force. His every step was filled with pain, but he continued forward with a strong determination. He won't give up, won't stop until he finds Vincent and brings justice to the ruthless mafia.
As the night wore on, Ethan felt weaker and weaker. His face was pale and his body was trembling. But, when all hope was almost gone, he saw a beam of lights far away in the distance. Help has finally arrived.
The Delta Rescue Team arrived at the site, carrying medical equipment and evacuation equipment. They find Ethan lying in the woods, weak and unconscious. Carefully, they treated his injuries and lifted him into the evacuation vehicle.

Ethan opened his eyes slowly and looked around. He was inside a brightly lit military treatment room. The sound of medical equipment and the whirring of the wind from the air conditioner filled the quiet room. Ethan feels the bandages surrounding his body and learns that his wounds have been bandaged neatly.
However, what puzzled him was the fact that he was in an isolated space. He looked at the unidirectional glass separating that space from the space outside. The glass looked like an observation glass. Ethan felt like he was being watched from afar.
He tried to move his body, and although he still felt weakness, he was able to move better than before. He tried to stand up, and carefully hung his body on an infusion attached to the arm.
But all of Ethan's hands and feet were tied with cloth on the bed. Ethan could not get out of bed. Even to sit can not because his legs and hands are tied quite tightly and tight on the bed.
Suddenly, the door of the room opened slowly and a nurse entered. He looked at Ethan attentively and smiled gently.
"I'm glad to see you sober, Mr. Parker," said the nurse in a soft voice. "You've been in intensive care ever since you were found in the woods. You should rest and recuperate completely!"
Ethan looked at the nurse in surprise. "Where am I? And why am I here alone?"
The nurse beckoned Ethan to stay calm on the bed and sit next to him. He looked towards the unidirectional glass separating them from the corridor outside.
"Mrs. Parker, you're in a top-secret facility" the nurse said in a serious voice. "You're in a special intensive care unit devoted to patients with special abilities like yours."
Ethan was more and more confused by that explanation. "Special abilities? Whatchu mean?"
The nurse took a deep breath before continuing. "We know about your unique abilities, Mr. Parker. Your ability to fight and defeat wild wolves in unusual ways. That's why you were brought here, to undergo special treatment and keep this secret awake."
Ethan was shocked to hear the confession. He had never expected that his abilities would be this kind of concern. However, he felt that something was wrong with all of this.
"Who ordered me here? And why am I alone in this room?" ethan asked with suspicion.
The nurse looked around to make sure that no one was listening, then replied in a low voice, "Mr. Parker, there are a few things you should know. I'm sorry your special forces, they've all been killed. They've all been buried with proper military ceremonies just like heroes who died fighting."
Ethan felt like he was being struck by lightning. The faces of his men crossed his mind. As a superior it is a very sad thing if all his men fall simultaneously. If lives can be exchanged, Ethan wants him dead while his men live on.
Ethan felt a heavy burden on his heart. They were his loyal comrades, brothers in battle. Ethan can't take away the guilt that's haunting your mind. They had been by his side from the beginning, faithfully accompanying in every mission. But now they are gone forever.
Ethan feels lonely and hurt in his heart. She let feelings of sadness and regret fill the room as she lay in the isolated treatment room. He was trying to string together the memories of every colleague he had fought with. That bitterness became the burning embers of fire that burned his resolve to avenge and ensure justice.
"I felt that I was being watched, and the entrance of this room was also guarded" Ethan said with a sharp look.
The nurse nodded, revealing a hint of uneasiness. "You're right, Mr. Parker. You're in strict protection here. Your whereabouts and your abilities have caught the attention of the powerful. They want to make sure that you don't leak information or run away."
Ethan is getting more alert. He sensed there was a power far greater than just the organ mafia that was eyeing him. There are powers that want to exploit his abilities, and that makes him even more determined to protect himself and continue his hunt for Vincent Moretti.
