Chapter 530: Condemned Prisoners
The carriage was very crowded and filled with the smell of men's sweat . A lot of soldiers were casually sitting on the floor . Some were even laying on the big boxes of military materials in the carriage . Zhang Tie sat silently on some boxes which obviously contained weapons . At the sight of those malicious looks, Zhang Tie frowned slightly .
At first when he came in, Zhang found these guys were not bad . However, after a few seconds Zhang Tie felt that they were not soldiers at all .
It was a bit stuffy in the carriage . When the train set out, these guys took off their military uniforms and displayed many tattoos of ghosts and magical beasts on their bodies . Zhang Tie knew that some troops in Blackson Humans Corridor would have uniformed tattoos, which were usually symbols of honor and power in the troop . However, these guys' tattoos were very distinctive . Remarkably, they didn't have them in troops .
After a few minutes, those who were sitting beside Zhang Tie silently stood up and left . The atmosphere in the carriage gradually changed . Those people who had been chatting with each other in low voices also became quiet . They all watched Zhang Tie . At this moment, some tough guys walked towards Zhang Tie with malicious looks .
Zhang Tie simply raised his head and glanced at them, but he kept sitting and practicing his mental arithmetic . He didn't even stand up .
"Brat, I was told you are a deserter?" one guy asked loudly in front of Zhang Tie .
"No, I'm just a passer-by and people assumed I am a deserter . Coincidentally, I wanted to take a look at the frontier . Here I am!" Zhang Tie explained calmly .
"Ha . . . ha . . . " the guy burst out in laughter as if he felt Zhang Tie was telling a very funny story . "No need to disguise yourself any more . If you're not a deserter, why were you sent here together with us? All the passengers in this carriage are condemned prisoners . We're being sent to the vanguard as cannon fodder . As long as we can survive one year, we will be deemed innocent . Additionally, we can gain a new status!"
After being silent for a short while, Zhang Tie smiled and nodded his head . He hadn't imagined that the captain could use such a trick . 'It seems that it's indeed not good to be regarded as a deserter . '
"Brat . I'm now the boss of this carriage . Everybody here follows my orders . What do you want to say?" The guy watched Zhang Tie while standing in front of him .
"Hmm, you guys work hard . I hope you can survive one year!" Zhang Tie 'encouraged' them in a calm voice .
Zhang Tie didn't feel disgusted about these condemned prisoners . Zhang Tie knew that laws sometimes represented the will of the privileged upper class . Those being sentenced to death were not always evil people . Of course, it didn't mean that all the condemned prisoners were good men either . Some of them were scumbags for sure . But wherever it was, a country that could execute the death penalty on innocent people or good people would vanish rapidly . Across Blackson Humans Corridor, although the countries and regions were ruled by different regimes, most of the regimes and systems were relatively well-developed as a result of thousands of years of human experiences . Therefore, that kind of evil country basically didn't exist at all anymore .
After hearing Zhang Tie's words, that guy became silent for a few seconds . Closely after that, he became irritated as he felt as if he was made an idiot in front of Zhang Tie . He was humiliated by Zhang Tie's words .
At this moment, that guy directed a kick towards Zhang Tie's head forcefully . Given his strength, his speed and his movement, that guy was already LV 7 .
Any commoner who was kicked by him would be killed or heavily wounded .
However, Zhang Tie remained unchanged . He just casually caught the man's foot and threw him onto the floor face down like smacking a fly .
At this moment, although Zhang Tie had lost the strength from the seven-strength fruits, as all the 34 surging points on his spine had been lit he had reached LV 9 . His physical potential had been tapped further . As a result, his pure strength was almost like that in the underground relics of Ice and Snow Wilderness when he didn't eat the nine powerful huge-wolf seven-strength fruits . Besides, Zhang Tie's battle awareness, application of battle skills and battle qi were greater than before after being baptized by Master Abyan .
With a "Bang" sound, the entire carriage shook . Then, the carriage became silent at once .
Fresh blood slowly flowed out onto the floor from under that "boss" and tinted the floor after a short while . Face down, the man lay in his own blood and couldn't stand up any more .
Like nothing had happened, Zhang Tie continued to practice mental arithmetic against the wall so as to improve his spiritual energy as soon as possible .
The iron wheels of the train were rapidly moving on the rails, making a loud noise, "kacha, kacha" . Although there was a metal iron sheet between them and the wheels, the noise was still very jarring . In contrast, nobody dared to speak in the carriage . They dared not to even breathe .
