Chapter 17: The Giants Come

It was late autumn, and at about seven o'clock in the morning, the sun came out of the mountain weakly and cast its first rays of light, creating a wonderful light called "Chaoyang".

Like a god who had rested for a night, Sheena stretched and squinted into the distance.

For millions of civilians, today is a day to remember.

Later historians hailed this day as the day when the "trumpet of the giants of the counterattack" was sounded, but it was especially important for the common people who were in the Sheena district at this moment, who had been hungry and numb for months, because they once again smelled the smell of food!

The scent comes from the porridge shed set up by the government "a long time ago" - this thing is now largely obsolete, because the food rationing system has been in place since a month ago, and the already pitiful amount of food can only guarantee that one person "will not starve" after being "stretched out" by those people......

"It smells so good!" "Wow, it smells so good!!" "Where does the fragrance come from?!!

Grunt grunt ~~~

Countless people who had set up tents on both sides of the street and even slept on the main road shook their noses, their stomachs crumbling like thunder under the tightening of their trouser belts, and the corners of their mouths drooled uncontrollably.

"Over there!!"

I don't know who shouted, and everyone ran madly towards the long-abandoned porridge shack.

Fortunately, Daris and the others had expected it, and suddenly the piercing gong sound of "dang dang dang" sounded, and at the same time, hundreds of soldiers in armor surrounded the soup kitchen to prevent the impact from people who were suffering from hunger and lost their minds.

Thankfully, there wasn't a single stampede or looting incident due to careful preparation – and of course, the soldiers ruthlessly killed those who were burned red by the food.

"Don't squeeze everyone!!" On the roof of a house next to the soup kitchen, a loud man shouted with a tin loudspeaker.

"Your Majesty has found enough food, and from today onwards, everyone will not have to go hungry!!" As soon as these words came out, the surrounding area suddenly resounded with a tsunami-like cheer, and this cheer filled the entire Sheena area, turning into a powerful wave of sound that spread around. The civilians in this world are relatively simple, and their trust in the country is far from being comparable to the world in which Zhang Shen and others live.

"Everyone come one by one, don't worry about not having enough porridge!"

"Two bowls for adults, one bowl for the elderly and children, everyone has it!"

"After drinking the porridge, we will also send people to distribute food, and each household can receive two days' supply, and each household can only receive it once! Once it is found that someone is overcharged, the share of food for the next week will be cancelled! ”

…………

A few months ago, when we were small farmers with houses and fields, we hated this kind of sound the most, because every time these people arrived, it meant paying taxes or something, and it was not good.

At this moment, this voice is nothing less than heavenly!

Especially when those who received the food looked at the thick white porridge and carefully took a sip, they screamed excitedly, the rich fragrance and the extreme sweetness made their faces suddenly full of tears, and muddy tears rolled down.

Suddenly, the whole city was filled with the sound of snoring porridge.

Daris was ruthless, using up nearly one-third of the rice bricks at once, and each bowl of porridge was so thick that it would not fall down when inserted into a fork, which was enough to let these people who had been starving for a long time taste the happiness of "full food" again!

Especially when they received a small brick of rice and were told about the properties of the food, the cheers of the mountains and tsunamis rolled out again:

"Long live His Majesty Daris!"

Daris's eyes narrowed as he listened to this heartfelt cry of excitement, his mouth smiling from ear to ear, and he felt the urge to dance.

Woo oh oh oh oh ~~~~

Suddenly, the familiar sound of the horn sounded again, and Daris's expression froze, his eyes widened, and a rage mixed with fear rose to the sky.

"Damn giant!!"

That's right, the giants who feed on humans, the giants who broke through the Wall of Maria and the Wall of Rus, killed and devoured most of the human race, and forced the remnants of millions of humans to huddle in the Sheena District to survive and wait for death in despair!!

The cheers came to an abrupt end!!

The next moment, the horn of the Restoration Army sounded, and the soldiers, who had long been familiar with the giant's visit, immediately threw down the food in their hands, picked up the weapons and weapons that had been placed aside, stuffed them into their bodies, and rushed towards the assembly point quickly and orderly.

Their movements are so skillful, at first glance, they are the elite of a hundred battles and an admirable existence. However, if you look closely at their eyes, you will be shocked to find that there are not many soldiers in their eyes who should have tenacity and sharpness, but more numbness and hollowness, as if their bodies have been "trained ♂" out of puppets with instinctive reactions!

Zombie!!

Yes, these people are not elite soldiers at all, they are just walking corpses.

When the giants attack, what they have to do is not to defend and counterattack, but to defend, defend, and defend.

The spikes on the outside of Sheena's Wall had been destroyed, and the cohesive wall of blue-black basalt had been scarred by the constant attacks, and even cracks slightly thicker than a human hair had appeared, indicating a sign of collapse.

At present, the weapons used for defense on the human side are mainly howitzers (I have always felt that it is extremely unscientific that there are musket cannons in this world...... ), although it is a flowering bullet, but its power is limited.

Before being infected by the T virus, howitzers were very lethal to stunned giants, and with many other preparations and factors, ordinary giants were no match at all. However, the feng shui takes turns, and now the evolved T giants have become much more flexible, thirty meters away, the cannonballs can't hit them at all, not to mention that the resilience and defense of these things have also entered a new stage, unless the cannonballs hit the head and blow their heads to pieces, they can't be killed at all.

As for encountering those giants who have been alienated and mutated into bone armor, then it can only be hehe.

Another relatively powerful weapon on the human side is three-dimensional mobility, which is the most frequently used weapon by the original Survey Corps, and it is also the equipment commonly equipped by the Human Corps, and the only way to deal with discrete giants. There is no need to go into detail about how to believe, in short, if there is no such kind of armament, human beings have no power to resist in front of the giants - except for the defense of the city.

It's a pity that today's three-dimensional maneuver is "outdated", and even if several people use the three-dimensional maneuver to kill an ordinary giant, they may not be able to win......

The evolution of giants is an important reason, but the most important thing is that the weakness of giants is no longer the piece of meat that has stamina, but the entire head! Unless you headfire it, it won't do lethal damage at all.

Obviously, the knife configured on the three-dimensional maneuver is not yet able to cut through the giant's terrifyingly strong skeleton that basalt has!

To sum up, in the face of the attack of the T giant, all people can do is to keep fighting, cannons, and cannons......

In the long run, such a thing as "morale" almost disappeared from the soldiers, and all that remained was numbness.

This time, though, things seem to be different......

When the giant's siege horn sounded, Zhang Shen and the others were still a little confused, but when the assembly horn sounded on the army's side, the understanding of battle suddenly poured out from the bottom of everyone's heart.

Except for the old woman with heart problems, the grocery shopping aunt, and the young woman holding the child, the other newcomers were forced by Zhang Shen to arrive at the scene. Fortunately for men, there are a few women who don't know the situation who want to use women's innate tricks such as "crying" and "playing tricks", but after being shocked by Li Xi's cold snort, they still honestly followed.

Daris and the others did not forget Zhang Shen's group of "outsiders", and only a few steps out of the gate were a few steps away, and the number of carriages galloped quickly, and the driver said that he had come to greet everyone on Daris's orders.

The group got into the carriage.

On the way, Zhang Shen noticed that the civilians in the city were a little different from when they came yesterday.

Compared with yesterday's numbness, there is a hint of anger on their faces today.

In the numbness and emptiness brought about by waiting for death, there is a fear of giants and a hint of hope and hope. With food to fill their stomachs, they couldn't help but have a glimmer of hope for the future, and although they were as weak as a candle in the wind, they still gave some comfort to the soldiers who were quickly advancing towards the city walls.

Under the spread and transmission of layers of layers, this city, which was originally filled with the atmosphere of dead silence and indifference, has quietly ignited a flame of hope.

"Looks like I'm not doing enough." Thinking of the several hills that had not been started yesterday, Zhang Shen was a little annoyed with his laziness. Whether it is refining clothes or weapons, they can make a contribution to today's war and even the civilians in the city.

He secretly made up his mind that after this battle, he would definitely complete the refining of weapons or clothes as soon as possible.

After that, he had to further analyze the rules of this world, and complete the analysis of the gunpowder of this world in order to further refine and create more powerful gunpowder. In addition, he felt that it was also necessary to analyze the so-called "gas" gas and similar gaseous substances in this world to refine more powerful substances, and at the same time, it was necessary to strengthen the original blade and other parts to create an armament that could cope with the current stronger T Giants......

Of course, all this will be after this battle.

For this battle, Zhang Shen was not too worried.

He also had a certain understanding of the strength of the giants around the Sheena region in the past few days, and he thought that unless they had alienated some very new type of T giants last night, otherwise, with the help of the three Blue Phoenix, himself and Li Xi, the human race would definitely be able to repel them.
