Chapter 3545 Xu Qiang's Request

Freiman had instructed that no details should be missed and that they must be carefully checked.

The most likely reason for people not being killed in the explosion was to hide, so this manhole became the safest place.

One person crouched down, and the other two stood guard with guns to prevent accidents.

It was easy to open the manhole cover with a strong arm. The moment the manhole cover was opened, the two rushed forward and fired several shots at the manhole.

Holding a lighting device, they probed into the manhole, but found that there was no one inside.

"No one?"

"Damn, where would these two Chinese hide?"

The three searched carefully, thinking that they would find something under the manhole, but they came up empty-handed.

"There's another one in front!"

There were two manholes in total. After checking one, the other one would naturally not be let go, and soon the three surrounded it again.

Xu Qiang and Duan Zhisheng, who were hiding in the manhole, noticed the footsteps approaching. It was obvious that the Fremen people had noticed this place.

Xu Qiang did not speak, but communicated with Duan Zhisheng with gestures, asking Duan Zhisheng what to do next?

Once their hiding place was found, they could not fight back in this situation, and they had to find a way to make a response strategy in advance.

Duan Zhisheng had a few darts in his hand. It was not a problem to deal with a few people. The key was that as long as he made a move, he would be exposed.

"Don't worry first!"

He signaled Xu Qiang to calm down, and he would make a move when he had to.

The three people were already close, and one of them squatted down to open the manhole cover. The same procedure, the other two stood aside.

Carefully prepared for defense, at this tense moment, a cold light suddenly appeared!

Their attention was focused on the manhole, forgetting the hidden dangers around them. A military bayonet came across and pierced the heart from the back of one person.

The other two people realized the danger, and just as they were about to raise their guns, a pair of big hands clamped their necks tightly.

"Don't struggle!"

Xiao Yi pinched his fingers, and the two people's necks were broken and fell to the side.

Xiao Yi followed Xu Qiang and Duan Zhisheng all the way here, but he didn't expect that someone would act faster than him.

On the mercenary battlefield, various forces were fighting, and this situation was nothing more common.

But the target of this group of people was Xu Qiang, which was going to touch Xiao Yi's bottom line. No matter what this group of people came from, daring to make this idea was looking for death.

Duan Zhisheng and Xu Qiang, hiding under the manhole, didn't know what happened, and there was a splashing sound from above.

Then drops of blood dripped along the gap of the manhole and fell on Duan Zhisheng's clothes.

"Such a strong smell of blood, could it be..."

Reaching out and touching it, it was indeed blood, and the manhole cover above suddenly opened.

No matter what it is, in Duan Zhisheng's eyes, anyone with unknown origin is an enemy. The smell of blood made him more alert, and he threw a dart in his hand.

Whoosh...

The darts were accompanied by the sound of breaking through the air. He never made a mistake when he shot.

Holding the manhole cover with one hand, Xiao Yi felt the danger approaching, and subconsciously dodged sideways. A dart flew past his cheek.

A little carelessness hit him on the forehead, avoiding Duan Zhisheng's attack, and Xiao Yi shouted to the bottom.

"It's me!"

Duan Zhisheng stopped when he heard the sound, and was about to throw the second dart in his hand.

Hearing the sound, he knew that Xiao Yi had come over, so the previous bloodstains should be Xu Qiang killing Freman's people.

"So you came here for fun, and I almost got serious."

Duan Zhisheng kicked his feet and jumped out of the manhole, looking a little embarrassed with a dusty face.

But even in such a dangerous moment, Duan Zhisheng always maintained his elegance and shook off the dust on his clothes.

Xu Qiang climbed up immediately, with a large scrape on his arm, but fortunately it was not a problem. He saw Xiao Yi.

"Brother Xiao, it's really you. Master said you were here before, but I didn't believe it."

When Xu Qiang saw Xiao Yi in person, he was completely relieved. With Xiao Yi, any crisis would be irrelevant.

Seeing that the two were fine, Xiao Yi was worried that the chaos caused tonight would involve the two of them.

"After I heard the noise, I followed the breath of Boss Duan and chased here. Sure enough, I found the right direction. I happened to meet these three people who were also looking for your traces."

There were three bodies lying on the ground. The three people had just died not long ago. It was bad luck for the two of them to meet Xiao Yi.

"Okay, this is not a place to talk. Once Drake and Moro died, this place is completely messed up. Hurry up and find a way to leave."

Xiao Yi reminded the two of them that they believed in Duan Zhisheng's strength, but in this chaotic battle, the artillery fire fell ruthlessly, and someone would die.

There is a saying that a fire in the city gate will affect the fish in the pond, and a gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall. Retreating in time is the most correct choice.

"We have planned to retreat, but before that, we had some conflicts with a mercenary group. The general of this mercenary group does not intend to let us go."

Duan Zhisheng and Xu Qiang have been trying to get rid of this Freeman's entanglement, but this Freeman is a petty person.

Freeman lost face at the previous banquet, and at this time they did not intend to let Xu Qiang and Duan Zhisheng leave this place smoothly.

"He has gathered his people and is hunting us down. We have no choice but to find a way to avoid him."

"So that's how it is. What is the origin of this mercenary group? I'll go and deal with this trouble."

Xiao Yi suggested, but Xu Qiang did not agree with Xiao Yi's approach at this time. He had his own plans.

"Brother Xiao... This matter started because of me, and I have to end it myself in the end."

"Have you decided?"

"I know Brother Xiao is very capable, but since you have handed over the Lengjian mercenaries to me, I, Xu Qiang, will rely on my own abilities to deal with the troubles I encounter."

Xu Qiang said very seriously. After not seeing each other for a while, Xu Qiang has experienced a lot and understood a lot.

No longer the young man who only knows how to fight hard on the road, he has his own ideas and plans for doing things. Xiao Yi was very relieved to hear what Xu Qiang said.

"Brother Xiao, I want to try to see how far I can go with my own abilities. I don't want to have to trouble Brother Xiao to solve any problems for me."

"Xu Qiang has his own ideas. Xiao Yi, I think you should just ignore this matter. If he can't even handle this mercenary group, he won't be able to survive here in the future."

Duan Zhisheng's idea is the same as Xu Qiang's. This Freeman is a rare opponent. If a person wants to grow, he will inevitably encounter some obstacles.
