Chapter 8: Why
The second chapter is brought, Liuyun I'm really full of discipline, so I'm cheeky to ask for clicks, ask for recommendations, and ask for collections!
When the Higanshina district fell, not a single soldier from the Survey Corps came, except for Su Mo.
The reason is simple, because of the extramural survey.
In the original plan, Erwin planned to build a combat formation with Su Mo and Levi as the core, and with the combat effectiveness of the two of them, the casualties of the soldiers could be minimized and the possibility of mission completion could be increased.
However, Su Mo refused
Before the survey corps was launched
"Why, do you want to stay in the city? You're not the timid kind of person, right? Looking out the window, Erwin, the head of the Survey Corps, said.
"I'm sure you've noticed that, too." Su Mo sat on the sofa and took a sip of tea: "The strange movements of the giants during the last investigation outside the wall, if it weren't for Levi and me, the Survey Corps would have suffered a devastating blow, right?" ”
"Indeed, this organized collective action" Erwin pondered for a moment, "but what does this have to do with your desire to stay in the city?" ”
"I think it's likely that the giants will attack the city in the near future." He threw a bombshell as if nothing had happened.
"Impossible!!" Erwin turned abruptly, and his tone was no longer calm: "How could those giants break through the city gates?!" It's not all in a hundred years," Erwin was interrupted by Su Mo before he could finish his words.
"Don't kid yourself, Erwin! Even if it hasn't been breached in a hundred years, who can guarantee that it won't be today or tomorrow? Moreover, who built these walls? Or exactly, what is it, does human beings really know? None of this can be done now, but how did humans a hundred years ago build these three towers without the invasion of giants? ”
"Do you mean that you think the walls weren't built by humans?! If it's not human, then it's your idea, it's crazy. Erwin was shocked by Su Mo's conjecture.
"Well, that's not what it meant." Su Mo shook his head: "I just have this guess, there has never been an invincible defense in this world, there is no perfect thing, everything has its weaknesses, the more powerful the existence will become after being broken through its weaknesses, just like these three giant walls." ”
"Is that what you think?" After a long silence, Erwin spoke up again: "But ah, you and Levi are now in the public spotlight, if you don't join the extramural investigation this time, and the giant invasion doesn't happen, public opinion will"
"It's okay, that kind of thing doesn't have any effect, and even if there is only a 1 in 10,000 chance of invasion, you have to be strictly guarded against. At least, if the giants did break through the gates, I wouldn't regret thinking about it but not putting it into practice. Su Mo said calmly, then blew open the tea leaves suspended in the cup and drank the tea in one gulp.
"However, now that the Survey Corps is short of troops, it is impossible for me to give you support."
"It's okay, I'll be able to bear this pressure alone." After speaking, Su Mo stood up and walked towards the door.
"By the way, Su Mo, when you come back from this out-of-wall investigation, invite me to dinner, you did it yourself. You bastard cooks really good food. Erwin said to Su Mo, who was about to leave.
"Ahh Standing outside the door, Su Mo turned his face sideways and said, then the wooden door gradually closed, and with the gentle sound of the door closing, his face disappeared completely.
Inside and outside the door, the two sighed at the same time.
"Su Mo is still too young, and he is extremely trusting and stubborn in his own judgment, but this is also the privilege of young people, although what he said is not unreasonable, but it is too reckless." Erwin, who was only twenty or thirty years old, said in an old-fashioned manner.
"Erwin, that guy still doesn't believe me. Well, too, for humans who have survived under the protection of the giant wall for more than a hundred years, his reaction is normal. If I hadn't ever watched anime, I would have been like him. But now I still don't know the bottom of my heart, the plot or something, most of them have been forgotten! Remember, the protagonist is a stubborn teenager who can turn into a giant and a female man with six-pack abs? What are they called, Alan and the Third Master? Muttering in his mouth, Su Mo slowly disappeared from the aisle, leaving only the crisp echo of his shoes on the wooden floor
"I won the lottery, and the plot started today, but fortunately I stayed." Wiping the sweat from his face, Su Mo used a three-dimensional maneuver to leap in the air.
This is the Higanshina district, which is no longer as peaceful and comfortable as it used to be.
The ruins, the blood, the screams, the wails, and the culprits of it all, the giants.
Slashing all the way, Su Mo no longer knows how many giants he has killed, he doesn't know how many pairs of blades he has changed, and his hands have been dyed bright red by the blood of giants.
"Even if I don't have a cleanliness fetish, this feeling is so uncomfortable, if it was Levi's guy who would have gone crazy in this situation" Even in this case, he didn't forget to complain about his comrades.
"That's" Then, the scene in front of him caught his attention.
Two children, a boy and a woman, seemed to be moving something with all their might. The boy seemed excited, trying to scream something, while the girl seemed quiet, just silently exerting herself.
But this is not the main thing, because not far from them there is a giant approaching with a terrifying smile.
"Oh, is there something important, or a person, there? It's really brave, but it's a pity that it's too small and doesn't have any power. ”
As he spoke, he hurried over there.
And the one who arrived before Su Mo was an unknown soldier, with roses tattooed on his uniform, and the people who were stationed in the corps.
Su Mo saw that he was rushing towards the giant at first, but stopped halfway, stayed for a while, turned around and ran, taking the two children with him.
"This is, scared by the giants, right? Long hours of comfort have corrupted your courage. ”
Then the giant dug through the ruins and saw that it had taken a woman out of it.
"Do you want to eat people in front of me? It's disgusting to laugh. ”
Accelerating violently, a large amount of gas was sprayed out by the three-dimensional maneuver behind him, and the steel cable was retracted and the trigger was pulled, and the steel cable was fixed on the side of the giant's neck.
Su Mo adjusted the angle slightly, then spewed out gas, and then the whole body began to rotate around the giant!!
When he rotated to the front of the giant, he swung his knife and directly cut off the giant's wrist, holding the rescued woman, he contracted the steel rope again, and the whole person approached the giant, and then, when rotating to the back of the giant, he swung forward and backward twice, and the flesh flew up
It all happened very quickly, and as soon as Allen's eyes widened as he saw the giant tearing his mother apart, the next second blood splattered and a dark green cloak embroidered with the wings of freedom fluttered in the wind caused by the giant's fall.
"Courage and strength, you two just have one of them."
Seeing the rescued young woman and the two children hugging each other and crying bitterly, Su Mo shrugged helplessly, and said to Hannes, a soldier of the garrison corps on the side: "Quickly run away with them, I will do my best to stop the giant." ”
"Then, please, please be careful!" Nodding heavily, Hannes picked up Alan's mother and ran towards Maria's Wall with her two children.
Before evacuating, the little boy Alan looked up at Su Mo with tears and snot on his face: "My name is Alan, Alan Yeyer, I will definitely join the Survey Corps in the future, I must expel the giants, all of them!" With that, he bowed deeply and left.
"It's a lot like him" Allen's eyes were similar to those of the soldier who dreamed of destroying the giants, but Allen's was even more ferocious.
"But wait, he said his name is Alan, I'll go, this guy is the male protagonist, hey?!" Su Mo was suddenly a little dumbfounded.
"But fortunately, he was able to save his mother in time." He breathed a sigh of relief again.
In the original plot, Allen's mother was devoured by the giants in front of him, which became the introduction for Allen's vow to destroy all the giants. But now, although Su Mo saved his mother, Allen, who witnessed his mother almost dying in the mouth of the giant, was still stimulated and still determined to kill all the giants, is this good or bad?
But either way, this was not something Su Mo should consider, his eyes were on the front of the gate of Maria's Wall, the giant who was eyeing the gate fiercely, extremely strong, and covered in armor.
"It's challenging to fight this kind of guy!"
