Black Flame City Prison is located outside Black Flame City. In this era, the tall walls of Black Flame City are naturally not used to protect those criminals, so the prison is placed outside the city, next to the West City Gate. The entire prison , is also within the coverage of Black Flame City’s city defense weapons.
As if she was worried, Samira followed Zhang Tie and the small group of soldiers out of the west city gate. After watching the group of soldiers and the guards at the prison gate complete the handover procedures, she breathed a sigh of relief. laughed.
Zhang Tie was relatively free when he arrived, but when he was handed over to the prison, he was put in a pair of handcuffs and anklets by the prison guards.
The cold iron chains on his feet clattered on the ground as he walked. They were quite heavy and made his ankles feel uncomfortable. Adding the anklets and handcuffs together, Zhang Tie suddenly gained nearly twenty kilograms. Something heavy.
The prisons in Black Flame City did not seem to have changed much with the end of the Coal and Steel Federation's rule over the city, at least in this prison. Zhang Tie found that the prison guards were still wearing the previous uniforms.
"How long will I stay here?" Zhang Tie asked the sergeant from the Norman Empire who brought him here.
"In three days, after the cases in front of you have been heard, the Military Control Commission will arrange a military court to hear your case!" the sergeant who led the team answered patiently.
Then Zhang Tie was pushed into the high wall of Black Flame City Prison. Zhang Tie turned around and saw Samira smiling sinisterly at him. In Samira's smile, he saw the pride and bigness. The certainty that revenge will be avenged.
The trial will start in at least three days. Why can Samira smile like this now? Zhang Tie didn't think it through for a moment, but his heart sank slightly.
…
"What does this person do?" After walking into the cold, high-walled iron gate of the prison, Zhang Tie saw a middle-aged man in his forties with the rank of captain and wearing a dark red uniform of the Norman Empire standing on the prison iron gate. On the stairs of a tower at the entrance, he asked condescendingly the prison guards who escorted him in. The prison guards had not changed. But there were some more soldiers wearing Norman Empire uniforms in the prison, and these people were the masters of the entire prison.
"This man has been accused of being hostile to the Norman Empire and a potentially dangerous element. The military court of the Military Control Commission is expected to interrogate him in three days!" said the prison guards who escorted Zhang Tie into the prison. , while handing a handover document to the man with a very respectful gesture.
"He was accused of being suspicious of the great Norman Empire? Are you the kind of passionate young man who is still nostalgic for the rule of the Andaman Alliance?" The middle-aged man's cold eyes turned around Zhang Tie, and there was an inexplicable trace at the corner of his mouth. with a smile, and then calmly ordered, "Take him to the largest room on the third floor and lock him up with the prisoners!"
"yes!"
…
Prison roads. It's like the maze in the maze game that Zhang Tie used to play. On both sides of the two-meter-wide narrow passage, there are high walls of more than ten meters. There are barbed wire fences on the high walls, towers, observation towers and high walls. connected together. Like small fortresses, the entire prison was guarded airtight.
The entire prison is located in the downwind area of the Black Flame City Industrial Zone. Every breath of air breathed in the prison seems to be smelling of soot. There is no one in the prison for ventilation, and there is no place for ventilation at all. The entire prison is like a piece of land. It's like a stone that has been left here to weather for decades, which makes people feel a bit cold for no reason.
I only walked less than a hundred meters here. Zhang Tie has passed through three iron gates. There are people guarding each iron gate. Every time he passes through an iron gate, the light becomes darker. The turbid smell in the air is also more pungent.
Zhang Tie's anklets dragged on the cold concrete floor, making a clattering sound as Zhang Tie's footsteps echoed throughout the maze-like corridor.
Only when he was pushed into the underground passage that one had to light a gas lamp on the wall to see the road clearly did Zhang Tie understand what the middle-aged man meant by the third floor. Not three floors of a building above ground, but three floors underground.
"What crime did this little guy commit?" At the corner in front of him was an old man with completely gray hair guarding an iron gate. He was over sixty years old. When he saw Zhang Tie being escorted, he took out the key and opened the door and asked the prison guards who were escorting Zhang Tie.
"He was accused of being hostile to the Norman Empire and a potential saboteur. Captain Eugen asked us to lock him up in the club on the third floor!"
Hearing this, the old man didn't speak anymore, but just looked at Zhang Tie sympathetically, and then opened the iron door. When Zhang Tie was taken away, the old man made a cross on his chest.
Zhang Tie walked for a long time in the downward sloping corridor, passed through three iron gates, completed an S-shaped descent, and finally arrived at the third underground floor of the Black Flame City Prison.
Walking in the underground passage without any natural light, the sound of Zhang Tie's anklet became even louder. The stench in the air here was almost suffocating. On both sides of the passage were small cells. , hearing the sound of anklets, those detained in the cell crowded to the side one by one, looking at the new tenants on the third floor.
The people in the prison are more like monsters than people. They are in ragged clothes, have dirty faces, and smell bad. They all stare like wolves and stretch out their skinny hands like ghosts. They were scratching outside the bars of the cell hut.
Zhang Tie's arrival made these people excited.
"Give him to me...Give him to me..." Someone began to shake the bars frantically with both hands, "I will agree to whatever you want, give me this boy..."
"Give me… "
"Give me… "
"Give him to me..."
"Just for one day, give me this sweet-smelling boy, just for one day..."
Many people behind the bars of the cell wanted to reach out and catch Zhang Tie. They all looked at Zhang Tie like hungry wolves, their eyes were shining, they were drooling with fishy saliva, and they were saying all kinds of dirty, obscene and cursed words. Some even roared like wild beasts, making Zhang Tie change his expression.
The people imprisoned here are no longer people, but animals that have gone crazy and are covered in pus. This is Zhang Tie's feeling. By this time, Zhang Tie has vaguely guessed Samira's plot. Samira really wants to kill someone with a borrowed knife. The knife Samira wanted to borrow was not the military court of the Norman Empire, but this damn prison. He seemed to have guessed what would happen to him once he got here.
Annoyed by the noise, the prison guard escorting Zhang Tie simply pulled out the thin iron rod from his waist and violently whipped the hands that were sticking out from the windows and iron bars.
"This kid is going to be sent to the club. Do you want to go with him?" the guard yelled while whipping people. When the guard said this, the prison cell that was noisy just now suddenly became strangely quiet. All hands retracted.
This long underground passage is almost more than 100 meters long. At the end of the passage, there is a cell. Standing at the door of the cell, the prison guards escorting Zhang Tie asked Zhang Tie to stand still and began to open it for Zhang Tie. Anklets and handcuffs.
"Boy, don't blame us. We are just following orders. If you want to blame, blame the person who brought you here from the outside!" A guard sighed as he opened Zhang Tie's anklet, "My son is just here." You are so big!"
Zhang Tie's expression was calm and cooperative, "Let me ask, what should I do if someone dies here?"
"The people locked up here are all the scum of the scum. No matter how many people die on the third floor, no one will take care of them!" A guard seemed to want to remind Zhang Tie, "Boy, if you can get out of here alive, , then you can walk sideways in Black Flame City from now on!"
"I'm not a crab, it's better to walk upright..." Zhang Tie said while moving his hands and feet.
While talking here, the guard over there has opened an iron door and let Zhang Tie walk in. There is another iron door behind the iron door. This cell seems to have more security measures. The second iron door has The operating switch is outside the first iron door. Even the guards seem to be cautious when approaching this cell called the "Club" and do not want to get too close.
After Zhang Tie approached the first iron gate, those people closed the first iron gate on the outside and then opened the second iron gate inside.
"You'd better go in by yourself. If you don't go in within half a minute, the people inside will get you in, but you will be even worse by then!" The prison guard outside reminded Zhang Tie.
Zhang Tie walked in with a calm face. This cell was much larger than the small cells outside. It was at least the size of two classrooms when Zhang Tie was in school. There were scattered cells inside, either sitting or lying down. More than 20 people, when they walked into the first door, Zhang Tie could already see the situation inside this cell through the second iron door. When he saw Zhang Tie's arrival, this quiet cell There was a sound of heavy breathing like a beast.
Zhang Tie walked in, and the second iron door was closed by the prison guards from the outside. Then the guards obviously left here faster than when they came.
A gas lamp was placed on the wall of the corridor between the second iron door and the first iron door. This was the only source of light in the cell.
Dark, gloomy, and foul-smelling, this was the impression that this large cell called the "Club" had on Zhang Tie.
When the people in this cell could no longer hear the footsteps of the guards, people with distorted faces and red eyes were like wild wolves who saw a lamb. They began to approach Zhang Tieman from all corners of the dark cell. They slowly gathered around.
