Chapter XXIV

The wind became colder, and the originally peaceful and crowded Toroste district had become a Shura field, where the corpses were lying all over the place in all kinds of miserable ways, most of their faces still maintaining the last of their horror, and even some of the corpses that had lost their heads could not even see their last expressions.

In the space of five years, just as humanity was about to forget the horror of the destruction of the walls of Mary, the giants once again reminded humanity of their horror and the true overlord of this world, as the highest human being, once again experienced the fear and powerlessness of being hunted.

The people who took refuge in the shelter did not rejoice after escaping, on the contrary, some people were crying because of the tragic death of their loved ones, which was good, at least they could make some sounds, but the faces of the larger part of the people were gray, and the pupils were dull, which was not a precursor and horror of losing the signs of life, but the brilliance of the loss of hope for life and the despair of the giant.

The baby is one of the few beings who can make sounds, the watery eyes are still rolling around, the immature little hands are still tearing at the mother's clothes, and finally after being unable to stand the hunger and quiet, she let out a loud cry, but even so, her mother is only mechanically lifting the placket of the clothes, wooden and mechanically feeding him, the lost pupils gradually shed two lines of tears, this child who has not yet understood the personnel is not clear, he has lost his father forever.

This is the terror of giants, bringing unimaginable disasters to mankind, and not because of predation, so far. The giant's actions remain a mystery to be solved. Nobody knows. Why do they kill humans without a digestive system, it's just like a game of hunting, watching these two-legged pigs run for their lives, and the smile on their weird faces is more like the pleasure of a child's banter game.

These giants don't look like some giant babies, their actions are completely thoughtless, there is no hatred and no plunder, just like babies who have just fallen into the mortal world, full of curiosity about the world. And then it's just a toy-like tear, after all, human beings have just been born, aren't they also using their tongues and mouths to perceive the world, which may be full of irony, but there is really no better explanation.

It's like a child who sees an ant's burrow and likes to drown them in water, watch them struggle before they die, burn them with fire, turn them into piles of black ash, and cut them into pieces with a knife. However, will the child be punished for this reason?

The answer, of course, is no, as human beings, who have always been considered the highest beings, have never thought about animals. Children are not evil, just out of curiosity, until one day when they grow up, and even in this life, I am afraid that they will not have any sighs for the ants that have been killed.

It's just that human beings are not used to this kind of role reversal, and it is not until this moment that they really feel the feeling of being transformed from the highest life into hunting prey, and the feeling of powerlessness to struggle and resist makes them worse than death.

The deputy commander's face is not much better, the constant movement back and forth shows the anxiety in his heart, like a fly with his head screwed off, he can't be quiet for a moment, he doesn't want to be quiet, whenever he is quiet, he can hear those crying and wailing sounds, he can feel the horror of giants, he can see the strange corpse, covered by white cloths, and he can think that the hope of mankind is gradually being compressed to the minimum.

"Report ...... Report ......"

A soldier hurriedly ran over, bothering to wipe the abrasions on his face, he no longer felt the pain, but even if the pain came more, he couldn't suppress his joy.

"Say—"

The deputy commander's mood was already so bad that he was not in the mood to look at the soldier's expression, otherwise he would have kicked the soldier in a rage, and the human race had now been driven to extinction, and the soldier's face even showed a hint of joy.

"The giant was scared away."

The soldier's breathing was a little uneven, and his speech was a little slurred, but some people could still hear such a bomb-like message.

"Got it."

The deputy commander has been numbed by a series of news, and even now he has no ability to discern, in short, from the moment the dawn rises on this day, it is destined to be the moment when mankind suffers the greatest test, and all kinds of bad news come one after another.

"Smack"

The deputy commander hadn't reacted yet, but the people around him had really heard the news of the soldier, and the water cup fell to the ground, breaking the deathly silence.

"Huh?"

The deputy commander was stunned for a moment, and then recalled what the soldier had just said, and then he first rushed over with a crazy lunge, grabbing his collar with both hands, as if he was going to choke the soldier out of breath.

"What do you say? Say it again, tell me it again. ”

Important things have to be said three times, this situation is not just a popular phrase nowadays, everyone is probably this way when they can't be sure of a happy event, although the soldier feels that his breathing is a little more rapid, but he still repeats the news with a happy face.

"How is it possible, how is it possible, you mean...... Humans scared away giants? ”

"It's incredible."

How could it be that the deputy commander was the only one who raised the question, in the hundreds of years that humans and giants have lived together in this world, they have never known anything about giants, their actions are irregular, their behavior is completely incomprehensible as if they are not dominated, however, fear and joy have never appeared once, and all along, human beings have never won a single victory in the war against giants, but now there are humans who have scared giants away?

"Yes, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it. But the giantess was indeed scared away by a human. ”

The soldier reflected on what he had seen. I repeated it again. The scene that happened between Lin Xiu and the giantess was depicted in detail.

"Is that scum instructor?"

From the moment he knew the name Lin Xiu, this deputy commander had already heard countless negative news about this young man, and words like Second Ancestor had already lifted him up a bit, but was such a person now the hope of mankind? Also, since giants know how to escape, it proves even more that giants are intelligent. Only creatures without intelligence have no concept of fear, which can be said to be the only breakthrough in the hundreds of years that humans have fought against giants, but the price is too great.

"Lin Xiu?"

The same news was also transmitted to the ears of the bald commander through another channel, and he looked at the report in his hand, and then wrote Lin Xiu's name on it, with a thoughtful look.

On the other side, Li Shu, who was painting a gorgeous costume, was gasping for breath in the corner, and she still couldn't calm down. She did feel the threat of death just now, after the tragic deaths of Wei Dehou and Wu Ji. Once again, she experienced the feeling of being stared at by death, and even more fearful than when facing those giants.

In her mind, she still lingered on those eyes, which were like staring at a dead corpse, and just looking at each other made her feel unable to resist.

She still doesn't understand why that seemingly handsome young man has such ability, and does he recognize herself?

No, he shouldn't be able to recognize himself, at that time, there was only a cold killing intent in his eyes, and there was no sense of déjà vu at all, Li Shu was sure of this, maybe it was only because he met the humans who came to this world together before that he had such an illusion.

"When, when, when"

This is the retreat bell that humans have completely avoided entering the shelter, and this time the plan to hunt Heattoria and Eren has failed, which means that their time to leave this world will be delayed even longer.

Thinking of everything that happened in this world, and the fact that he had become that ugly giant, Li Shu gritted his teeth with hatred, but the task given to them by the voice called the apostle was to stimulate the power of the giant in Alan's body and kill such a thing as Heatolia.

Next time, you must not let him go, Li Shu secretly warned herself in her psychology that there was no intersection between her and Lin Xiu, let alone any feelings, during the time she lived with those giants, she already knew the cruelty of this world, and she was also somewhat accustomed to killing, so there was no psychological shadow.

After all, he is just an ordinary human being, although he has made some progress, but how can he really be the opponent of the giant, next time, if he meets him, it can only be regarded as his bad luck, and at present, it seems that they have received the same task.

Anyone who hinders his life must be killed, and Li Shu has such an awareness.

"Who?"

Li Shu, who was thinking about her own thoughts, suddenly found that she was being followed, and a woman with a few freckles on her face appeared behind her, this face she didn't recognize, it was one of the main characters in the original anime - Yumir.

The moment she found the other party, Li Shu almost made up her mind to kill her, after all, once her identity was revealed, she really had to flee from here quickly, and since Lin Xiu and they were on the side of the human camp, they would definitely try their best to protect Alan and Heatolia, and when the time came, their return home would become an unattainable dream.

"Are you sure you want to fight someone who also has a secret?"

A sneer appeared on the corner of Yumir's mouth, but there was no defensive movement in his hand, but just this sentence was enough to make Li Shu stop attacking her **.

"What did you say?"

Although Li Shu stopped attacking, she didn't completely relax her vigilance, as long as there was a slight change, she would still take action to solve the other party immediately, after all, in the original plot, Historia and her relationship was the best, but why did she suddenly find herself now?

"I mean, we're on the same race, and although the purposes may be a little different, I want to work with you."

Yumir looked at Li Shu seriously and said, but there was a slow sincerity in his eyes. There is no intention of deception.

"Cooperate with what?"

Li Shu heard the other party say this. Also relaxed a bit. After all, at this time, the nearby humans have all withdrawn, and there is no need to worry about the danger of leaking their identities for the time being.

"I want Historia."

Simply, Ymir said what she wanted, and that was the sincerity with which she intended to cooperate.

No matter what the two of them are thinking, or what kind of calculations they are making, let's turn back the time to the previous one, that scene that everyone can't forget.

The moment they looked at the giantess, everyone's eyes were drawn to Lin Xiu and the giant. They were all waiting quietly, waiting for that moment to erupt, but to everyone's expectations, after the giantess saw Lin Xiu, she actually took a step back in some fear, and then let go of the hand that grabbed Allen, turned around and ran away.

The shock of such a scene was definitely beyond their imagination, they had thought that Lin Xiu would be defeated, and they had thought that the giantess would be killed. But they never imagined that the giantess would turn and run away.

But only Lin Xiu can already be sure. Although the appearance of this giantess has changed greatly, Lin Xiu will not forget that look, it is a familiar vision, and it is completely certain that it is Li Shu.

It seems that she is on the opposite side, that is, the person who meets Reiner is her, but who is the person who is with Reiner?

"Well, the battle is not over yet, there are still many things waiting for us after returning to the city, from now on, you are no longer training soldiers, but real warriors.

From now on, you don't have to go back to the original city walls, just follow me to investigate the corps. “

Lin Xiu did not directly say the fact that Reiner was a giant, since Li Shu had been deployed in the city, and their plan to capture Sun Jingxue, these all showed a problem, without his knowledge, there was a big net ready to capture him at any time.

Lin Xiu's decisiveness made these students a little uncomfortable for a while, but since seeing his true ability, these students have already blindly admired him, and it is not surprising that Lin Xiu was originally a member of the training corps.

"Wait, even if you're an instructor, you can't just give such an order."

The first one, Ymir immediately doubted, not everyone here joined to take revenge for slaughtering giants, and many people wanted to take this opportunity to join the gendarme.

"It's an order, not to discuss it with you, understand?"

In an instant, Lin Xiu's original hippie smiling face changed from that kind of cold expression, which made Yumir a little uncomfortable. "Also, Yumir-san, you are not among the people I am talking about."

As if he was pronouncing something, Lin Xiu gave his order decisively, completely ignoring the feelings of others, and seemed to have become the invincible instructor again.

And he naturally has his purpose in doing this, now returning to the city is probably tantamount to throwing himself into a net, it is very likely that Li Shu is arranging the deployment of putting him to death in the city, and all along, he has never seen Li Shu in the Tolst District, and he can let the officer directly issue such an order, it is very likely that Li Shu has gathered some nobles in the upper echelons together, so now when he returns to the city, he will go to his death.

Another issue that worries him, Heatolia has obviously become some kind of key, and anyone around her cannot be included in the safety category, so the first thing that needs to be eliminated is naturally Ymir.

"Instructor, Ymir her"

Historia was about to intercede with Lin Xiu, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was stopped by Lin Xiu's eyes, Lin Xiu didn't continue to say anything, but jumped to Historia's side, and suddenly, he put his head close to Historia's ear, such a scene made Historia blush and hang his head a little.

"It's for your safety, Helista."

In an instant, Historia raised her head with a frightened face, and saw Lin Xiu's faint and undetectable eyes. (To be continued.) )

PS: Today's state is particularly bad, and a lot of things happened yesterday, so I won't tell you about the specifics.

Fortunately, there are friends in the group who rescued me and sent a lot of red envelopes, otherwise I don't know how to continue, and I can't repay it, so I can only adjust myself as soon as possible and try to get back to the state.
