"Boom!"

At the risk of being crushed, the warriors who fought against the moving wooden wall solidified by the dirt heard only a not-so-heavy crash, but the force felt on their shoulders was a true reflection of the massive mass of the boulder.

Those who watched the boulder from a distance saw that the boulder rolling slowly on the track first "gently" brushed the first moving wooden wall baffle and changed direction a little, then brushed the second, third, and fourth baffles before turning the bend less than 60 degrees and rolling onto the main road facing the outer gate.

"Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"

On the last straight road, the rock with a fairly regular shape rolls a little faster, but this straight track is not completely horizontal, the first acceleration track is high and low, and the final deceleration track is low and high, and the speed of the huge rock ball has not yet risen, and it has already begun to enter the deceleration stage.

In the expectant gaze of everyone, the spherical boulder finally rolled slowly to a shallow pit at the end of the track with the help of its own slow surname, and knocked down some masonry from the edge of the ruined gate, and then sat down firmly in the shallow pit, blocking the hole in the gate tightly, leaving only a few transparent gaps in the corners.

"It worked! The gates are blocked! ”

At this moment, the people who were holding their breath finally let go of their voices and cheered, even Petra, a former member of the "Levi Class" who had just joined Chu Xuan's team and had red and depressed eyes, showed a rare smile.

These warriors who risked their lives to return to the Toroste district were not afraid to attract back the giants who were still scattered within the walls of Rousse, perhaps they thought that it would not matter if they were now blocked in this urn city by the giants who had turned back, because the hole in the city gate had been blocked, and their sacrifice was of great value to humanity.

"Keep moving as planned, squeeze the boulder!"

After the cheers that resounded in the sky subsided, Chu Xuan, who had reflective glasses, immediately issued a new order, and the soldiers and civilians, who were already quite tired, seemed to have a steady stream of strength in their bodies, and immediately picked up their tools and worked in full swing.

They dismantled the rails, and then carried the wooden rails, the floor tiles, the earth, and the several sections of moving wooden walls that were used as baffles behind the boulders that blocked the gates, and then erected some brackets, and squeezed the boulders firmly into the holes in the gates, and then piled up dirt and compacted them, so that the spherical boulder would not be pushed away by one or more giant cats.

After doing this, the people and soldiers immediately began to collect the soldiers who had died two days ago in order to stop the giant's footsteps and some of the people who had unfortunately died, while some of the soldiers immediately rushed to other areas to report that the local garrison must take the initiative to attack and wipe out the giants while they were scattered.

"Khrista, where did Mikasa go?"

After finishing all the work, Chu Xuan, who found Hrista and the others in the place where the remains of the soldiers were collected, glanced at his "Chu Xuan team", but did not see Mikasa's shadow.

"Huh? Looks like I was still here...... Maybe it's still there......"

"No, Mikasa disappeared a long time ago."

Ani, who had returned to the "Chu Xuan Squad", interjected indifferently, as if he did not feel ashamed and guilty at all because of his previous "betrayal" behavior.

Although the girls of the "Chu Xuan Squad" did accept her again without saying anything, she should take the initiative to apologize to Chu Xuan and everyone or something, right?

"yes, I see.

Everyone pay attention to recover their strength, don't work too hard, and in a while we will take over the guard duty of the team near the inner gate. ”

Chu Xuan nodded expressionlessly, admonished his team members again, and then turned around and left here.

There were rows of corpses in the small square, and there were also "piles" that could no longer tell who had fallen on their bodies, but Chu Xuan's eyes did not stop at these remains from beginning to end, even if there were many of them whose bodies belonged to the graduates of the 104th Training Corps - and perhaps Allen's.

After leaving the small square, Chu Xuan went straight to the station of the training corps, where the remains of many soldiers were also left, most of them were members of the supply squad who died while being besieged by giants, and a small number of them died in the battle to recapture the gas replenishment room.

But Chu Xuan didn't go here to look for Mikasa, but went directly to the training dormitory, where there had been no fighting, and there was no damage, which was still the men's dormitory where Chu Xuan lived with Connie, Reiner, Allen, and others, and found Mikasa who was sitting in the shadows in a daze on the bed that belonged to Allen.

And beside Mikasa, Chu Xuan saw a neatly folded red scarf that was quite old.

Could it be that Chu Xuan didn't use the opportunity of summoning his followers to destroy the dormitory of the training corps and disguise it as if it had been destroyed by giants? That's really unwise!

Didn't Chu Xuan know that if Mikasa found this scarf of great significance again, she would be even more unforgettable for Allen!

Clearly...... Chu Xuan obviously secretly summoned his follower Yuki Nagato when all the staff were evacuated with the survey corps, and asked Yuxi to slightly "modify" the huge rock that fell near the outer gate, turning it into a regular sphere that can roll smoothly in a straight line although it is uneven on the surface, but in fact it can roll smoothly in a straight line, he just needs to give Youxi an order to destroy the dormitory "by the way"!

If it was Yuki, as long as Chu Xuan ordered her to keep this secret, she would never tell anyone about it, and even if Mikasa became Chu Xuan's follower in the future, she would definitely not know about it.

Similarly, even if Chu Xuan didn't secretly give that kind of order, Mikasa didn't know, and it was impossible to thank him for it, so he could only miss Allen even more.

"Mikasa, what are you doing here? Ready to assemble. ”

Chu Xuan stood at the door of the dormitory, interrupting Mikasa's mourning in a dull tone that was as steady and uninhibited as ever, and the bright sunlight shone obliquely on his body, gilding his silhouette with a layer of gold.

Mikasa suddenly raised his head, and then narrowed his eyes slightly under the reflection of Chu Xuan's unusually bright glasses.

"No...... It's nothing. ”

The Oriental girl, who had the same black hair and black eyes as Chu Xuan, obviously hesitated for a moment, but in the end she didn't say anything, just silently picked up the neatly folded old scarf, and then walked out of the dormitory, which seemed to be a little too dark, without looking back.

"Mikasa ......"

Chu Xuan, who was expressionless, glanced at the scarf, and then looked directly at Mikasa, who was also expressionless, and said to her in a light tone:

"I don't think it's a bad thing to remember and remember, and the warmth and love we have received in the past will surely be the motivation for us to continue to survive in this cruel world.

However, we cannot live in the past, all we have is the 'present', and we are constantly looking forward to the future.

Keep this scarf well, but never put it on again.

What you are looking for is not in the past, but in the future. ”

"......, I see."

Mikasa looked at Chu Xuan with a calm gaze for more than ten seconds, then she lowered her eyes, replied briefly in a voice that couldn't hear any emotion, and never spoke again.

The rather old red scarf that Allen had wrapped around her with his own hands was subconsciously hidden behind Mikasa, as if he was afraid that Chu Xuan would take it away.

Chu Xuan raised his hand and pushed down the reflective glasses, then took a step, walked back around Mikasa, and said to her casually:

"After successfully blocking the gates and clearing the giants who had entered the walls of Rossi, there will be a week's vacation.

At that point, we'll head to the basement of Alan's house to fulfill his last wish. ”

"......, okay."

Mikasa, who quietly followed behind Chu Xuan, froze for a moment before agreeing.

"......, thank you."

After a long time, she suddenly burst out without warning and thanked Chu Xuan for what she had just said to her, or if she was thanking Chu Xuan for taking the risk for his last wish for the dead Alan. (To be continued.) )
