Chapter 4009 Bread Can Save Lives

If there is nothing left after death, a man who recognizes his current situation can continue to talk about the next thing. What Duan Zhisheng doesn't want to see the most is that this kind of person who has already failed still maintains a high and mighty appearance.

He bent down and handed the kettle to Rost's mouth, not intending to make fun of Rost, and sighed.

"Rost, don't blame me. I want to see how strong your willpower is to live, because in our next plan, we do need your help, but we don't need a walking corpse who has lost his will."

Rost also understood the man's intention. After drinking a few sips of water, he felt that his strength had recovered a little. At this time, he took the kettle and said.

"Even if you want to test my attitude, there is no need to set fire to me. I was almost burned to death by you."

"Hehe... If you don't have the intention to stand up, I really plan to burn you to death, which is also a relief for you."

Seeing Rost's embarrassed look, Duan Zhisheng took out another piece of bread. This is what he and Xu Qiang said, the most effective and direct way to deal with Rost.

Money and women are useless now. For Rost, who has been hungry for many days, nothing is more real than a piece of bread.

When Rost saw the bread, he was like a hungry wolf seeing rotten meat. He didn't care about his image at all. He grabbed the bread and stuffed it into his mouth. He swallowed the bread in a few bites.

Rost almost choked and couldn't breathe after eating in this way. He quickly drank a few sips of water and kept beating his chest. Only then did he feel much better. At this time, Rost suddenly realized that nothing was more real than the bread in his hand.

After swallowing the food, his strength was recovering little by little. Rost felt alive. He looked up at Duan Zhisheng in front of him and bowed deeply.

"Thank you... I looked a little embarrassed before, I'm sorry to make you laugh."

"This is just a normal reaction after being extremely hungry. You don't need to thank me. If you want to thank someone, thank Xu Qiang. If he hadn't asked me to come, even if you starved to death here, it would have nothing to do with me."

Duan Zhisheng's words were very straightforward. He didn't need to let such a person remember his kindness. What he should remember was his apprentice, Xu Qiang, who saved his life.

This is very important. Who should be owed the life-saving grace? Rost is a smart man. He knows very well how to repay this great favor, and why Xu Qiang sent someone to save his life at the critical moment.

Seeing Rost's eyes rolling, although this man lost the battle, his brain is very good, so Duan Zhisheng didn't plan to laugh with him next, and just said what he wanted to say.

"Well, now that I'm here, I'll say it out loud. Your mercenary group lost to Freiman this time, and the outcome was indeed tragic. But we don't have time to sympathize with your plight."

"It seems that you also understand that after Freiman has reorganized the team, you will be his next target to be slaughtered."

Rost said that Freiman attacked him because of Xu Qiang, because he and Xu Qiang were very close in private, and they might become allies.

Once he became Xu Qiang's aid, it would not be so easy for Freiman to deal with Xu Qiang and his group, so he changed his chosen target and aimed his artillery at him first. After killing him, Xu Qiang became isolated and helpless here.

At this time, no one dared to go against Freiman, and no one would help Xu Qiang. Excluding all external factors, he would show his butcher knife to Xu Qiang's mercenary group.

"You are right. We can all feel it. Xu Qiang is also preparing for this battle."

"Prepare? It's really ridiculous. Xu Qiang doesn't really think that with just a few of you, you can fight against Freeman."

Rost sneered disdainfully. This really sounded like a joke. Although Freeman's mercenary group had launched a sneak attack on him before, they had a certain advantage.

But his mercenary group was not made of paper. After realizing Freeman's sneak attack, they immediately counterattacked. In the end, they still lost so directly that he didn't even have room to fight back and was always retreating.

After a few days, tens of thousands of mercenaries were defeated. Needless to say, his own mercenary group had strength. Even he had such a fate. What qualifications did Xu Qiang have to say that he wanted to fight against Freeman.

Duan Zhisheng guessed that this person would say so. If it were anyone else, it would be the same. Indeed, the difference in strength was too great, and there was no reason for Rost to believe it, but Duan Zhisheng still said.

"You mean that if Xu Qiang and Freeman accept the challenge, we will definitely lose, right?"

"Is there a second possibility? Freeman hates you to the core. Even if you choose to surrender, he will not accept it. The final outcome can only be destruction."

Rost said. He could imagine this ending. Soon Xu Qiang's mercenary group would follow in his footsteps, and even the final outcome would be worse than his, because no one was willing to save him.

From this point of view, he was not so pitiful.

"Run!"

Rost said seriously, advising Duan Zhisheng to go back and tell Xu Qiang that it was he who said it, and run quickly.

"It's still too late to run away now. Freeman has just finished a battle, and his ammunition consumption is a problem. Once he gets the arms that Jock provided him next time, he will turn around and deal with you. At that time, you can't even run away." There is no chance.”

At this moment, Duan Zhisheng's expression was not so nervous, but he sneered. This sneer was somewhat inappropriate, as if he, Rost, had said something wrong.

These words can be understood as Rost's good intentions. Yes, there is a gap in strength. No one will be optimistic about this battle, but Rost's vision is still a bit short-sighted.

"Ever since we entered the mercenary battlefield, we have never thought of escaping. Besides, given the current situation, do you think Freeman will let us escape from here? We have no way out."

"Escape should still be possible. After all, if you announce your departure from the mercenary battlefield, then according to the rules, Freeman cannot continue to pursue you."

"Really? Then you should explain to me why your people were massacred by Freeman after they chose to surrender to Freeman, and Freeman still did not let them go."

Duan Zhisheng told Rost to shut up. This was indeed a very clear example. According to convention, after surrendering, one cannot choose to continue taking action.

This is also the rule on the mercenary battlefield. However, Freeman openly violated the rules and massacred the surrenderers. Since he could do such a thing, he would also pursue Xu Qiang and his party.
