Chapter 529: Men to the North
Zhang Tie kept running eastward, except for 6 hours of rest per day, regardless of daytime or night . When he felt thirsty, he would drink a mouthful of all-purpose medicament or water . In this way, he could run 500 km a day .
What guided him was a map of Blackson Humans Corridor and a compass .
On the map, there was a wild area which covered more than 1700 square km . In the south of the wild area was a city Indhart which was one of the 17 stars on the flag of Andaman Alliance . This city was also annexed by Norman Empire and destroyed by demon puppets just like Blackhot City . Besides this city, no more city or people could be seen in the wilderness . Therefore, it looked very desolate .
Zhang Tie's first destination was not Indhart, but a human country——the Republic of Symbian in the east of this wilderness .
The Republic of Symbian covered about 2 million square km . A small part of this country was connected to Norman Empire . This country had more than 30 cities . Its national strength was a bit weaker than that of Norman Empire; however, it was much powerful than the former Andaman Alliance .
According to Zhang Tie's plan, after passing by the Republic of Symbian, he would keep moving eastward and pass the territory of Cross Star Commerce Alliance; then, he would pass two smaller countries before reaching the seaside .
The Sun Dynasty had already collapsed in the demon disaster, which meant that the way towards southward from Blackhot City was blocked . Although Zhang Tie was promoted to LV 9 for a couple of years, he didn't think that he could safely and smoothly survive those demon-stricken areas . He was told that the most powerful armies, the Brilliant Eyes and the Brilliant Fury were demonized, causing Sun Dynasty collapse rapidly . Therefore, a LV 9 fighter was nothing in front of such a great power .
The road towards east looked less dangerous; however, it depended . Because the Republic of Symbian was only over 4000 km away from Golan Empire . 10 months ago, the demon army, which swept all the way towards south from Hurricane Plateau had already collapsed most of countries surrounding Golan Empire . The whole northeast territory of Blackson Humans Corridor had been collapsed . It was hard to say whether the demon's army had already reached the Republic of Symbian .
After running in the wilderness for three days, during that period, he killed some low-rank magical beasts and enjoyed their flesh for a couple of times . On the 4th day, Zhang Tie saw many airships in the sky, which were as dense as a horde of flies . They passed by this wilderness towards north while covering the sky .
This was the first time when Zhang Tie felt that airships could be as many as a horde of flies . All of them were large and medium-sized airships, more than 1000 in total . Zhang Tie raised his head and watched that cloud passing over him for about 10 minutes .
Watching those airships flying over him, Zhang Tie felt being shocked inside . However, he didn't stay there but kept running forward . After two hours, Zhang Tie moved another 60 km ahead . At this time, he saw another batch of about 100 war airships flying towards south .
In the next 5 hours, Zhang Tie encountered another 3 batches of war airship, the number of war airships of each batch varied from 300 to 1000 . Each batch flew northward in a tidy formation .
At night, when the familiar fury-level war airships flew by Zhang Tie densely, Zhang Tie's blood almost coagulated . Zhang Tie caught sight of the symbol of cloud dragon which was special for Jinyun Country .
After thinking for a few seconds, Zhang Tie kept running towards east .
After one hour, Zhang Tie saw a railway, two smoking trains and endless contingents of people on the sides of the railway .
One contingent was all underprivileged ones, who were moving from north to south while the other contingent was all armored soldiers, who were moving from south to north . They just passed by each other .
So did the trains on the railway . One train was heading for south from north and was crowded with people . Even its top and head was covered with people . People were climbing on the train like ants . Those passers threw their admirable looks towards those on the train .
The other train was heading for north from south was filled with steam armored vehicles, steam tanks and military materials being tightly covered with green water-proof cloth .
Right in front of Zhang Tie, two trains passed by each other in converse directions with a shocking slogan on each train——Men to the North; Women to the South .
Standing on the roadside, Zhang Tie watched the soldiers walking towards north and the underprivileged ones walking towards south . Many of them glanced at Zhang Tie out of curiosity when they passed by Zhang Tie . Zhang Tie even checked himself and found nothing special, "But why do they look at me with that curious look?"
Zhang Tie didn't figure out the reason while a military officer with the rank of captain who was wearing a white armband with the symbol of gendarme walked towards Zhang Tie followed by some soldiers in solemn looks . They surrounded Zhang Tie at once .
That captain watched Zhang Tie with despised and chilly eyes, "You coward, no matter what your name is or which troop you have escaped from . You have two choices now . First, let me chop off your head right away . Second, go back to the frontier and die like a man . Make a choice!"
After hearing his words, Zhang Tie became stunned . He looked left and right and found nobody else was behind him . Therefore, he pointed at his own nose, "Are you talking to me?"
