“……”

This time, Reiner stared at Chu Xuan silently for a long time, and his eyes actually looked a little gloomy, as if he would suddenly burst out at any time and kill Chu Xuan on the spot.

Even Berthold, who was always gentle to cowardly, had a lot of danger in his sight, but he didn't have any intention of making a move, but waited for Reiner to make a judgment.

In this environment that has obviously become dangerous, Chu Xuan still didn't react, and kept calmly staring at these two giant-looking guys, but this was not out of confidence in his own strength, but because of some kind of "calmness" that only Reiner and Berthold could understand.

“……”

After a long time, Reiner's muscles finally relaxed, and even his spirit slackened suddenly, as if he had suddenly become discouraged.

This state was the first time that Reiner, who was full of the temperament of an iron-blooded soldier, Chu Xuan's words just now seemed to have brought him the biggest blow in his life, perhaps he had never been so decadent even when he made the desperate decision of "giving all mankind a dignified death".

"Haha...... Do you even think so...... Then 'their' choice is not necessarily wrong.

What is the sacrifice that 'we' ...... 'us' have been making......"

Reiner, who never wavered in his heart and never doubted himself in any way, laughed self-deprecatingly, saying something that only those who belonged to the same category as him could understand.

However, Chu Xuan can also understand, it's just that he doesn't need to show that he understands.

Chu Xuan...... Sorry, I was hiding something just now. ”

After sighing for a while, Reiner, who was extremely mentally exhausted, apologized to Chu Xuan, and then took the initiative to tell the "truth" he had concealed very dejectedly.

Hundreds of years ago, human beings had a high level of civilization that human beings could not imagine today, building houses hundreds of meters high, building cars that could run faster than horses, and allowing humans to fly into the sky......

At that time, humans possessed various abilities that originally existed only in legends, and humans at that time occupied almost every corner of the world.

There...... There are no giants at all!

However, with the development of human beings, the environmental pressure borne by the earth has become more and more great, the originally vast grassland has become the Gobi Desert, the originally clear rivers are full of sour and pungent black water, and the originally clear sky is densely covered with haze for many months......

At that time, human beings had far more material comforts than they do now, but the environment at that time was also unimaginably bad.

The most hateful thing is that human beings are fully capable of reducing the damage to the environment, but the big businessmen among the human beings are unwilling to use a part of the wealth obtained from the destruction of the environment to clean up the environment.

These great merchants colluded with the great nobles of the royal axe, moved to the places they had specially protected, squandered their wealth and enjoyed themselves, and let the common people live in an environment that had been badly damaged by them, and endured all kinds of strange diseases.

However, the savings of ordinary people will be re-looted by the food sold by big merchants and big nobles, the hospitals they opened, the houses they built, the schools they opened, and other necessities related to clothing, food, housing, transportation, birth, old age, sickness and death.

In the midst of this best and worst living environment, there are many groups that are determined to protect the environment, and among them is an extremist religious environmental protection group that believes that the earth's environment has fallen into a life-and-death crisis. The "Human Expulsion Plan" was developed.

The core group of this extremist religious environmental protection group is not ordinary people or religious people, but a group of scientists from different backgrounds who share a common understanding.

They are funded by many big businessmen and nobles, and they are secretly engaged in the research and development of a genetic virus that allows humans to live forever, enhance their physique, and only need sunlight to survive.

-- It's just that after the successful research and development, those scientists did some tricks in this genetic virus, which made it have many more "side effects", including destroying human intelligence and reproductive ability, and writing into human genes the instinct to attack human beings.

Then they spread the genovirus, which can spread rapidly through the air, to the rest of the world at the same time, and as they expected, the vast majority of humanity will be "Adam" and "Eve" before stealing the fruit of wisdom, and will be able to live in the "Garden of Eden" of the earth without any worries - forever.

And they themselves retained their intelligence, incarnated as the "angels" who guarded mankind, and agreed to seal themselves together after confirming the success of the plan, enter eternal sleep, and quietly accompany "Adam" and "Eve" until the day of the destruction of the earth.

However, this "theoretically perfect" genetic virus, which has been put into production without human experiments, has a flaw that is not a flaw, that is, humans with pure hearts like natural plants do not become brainless giants, but can control the power of giants - because of the contradiction between the program that distinguishes plants from humans (Note: This is the original author's "Attack on Titan", not all of which we made up ourselves).

And in addition to this part of the "angelic power" like those scientists, and can also switch between the form of humans and "angels", in addition to the pure heart of the good humans, there are also some human beings who can simply resist the virus, but cannot transform into "angels".

This part of the human race and the "brave men" who have gained the "power of the angels" naturally become opposing sides with the "angels", but the result of the struggle is, of course, the "angels" who can command the brainless giants to a limited extent.

However, after the last secret base where humans and the "brave" were stationed was also removed, the "kind" angels did not destroy those humans who could resist the virus, but destroyed all the research results of basic science, and most of the scientific research results before the Industrial Revolution, and protected these humans in the "wall".

The door on the wall is the "hope" left by the "angels" to mankind, so that these protected human beings will not embark on the road of self-destruction because of despair.

Inside the walls of Mary, Rossi and Sheena, there are actually "angels" who are both guarding and watching over mankind.

However, in order to prevent human development from exceeding expectations, the "angels" modified this genetic virus and injected it into some trained high-IQ giant apes - and these giant apes that are closest to human genes are the "little white ones" left over from the genetic viruses used by scientists to experiment with genetic viruses...... apes".

The ape-giants were tasked with regularly patrolling the perimeter of the "walls" and clearing the giants of other areas of the world of any humans who appeared outside the "walls".

When the number of giants in the patrol area falls below the warning value, they secretly enter the "wall" and use their own modified genetic viruses that do not have the ability to spread a wide range of infections, but cannot be immune to the human body, and turn some human beings into giants.

If this does not stop the progress of mankind, these ape giants will smash the "wall" with huge rocks, reawaken the "angels", and destroy human civilization again...... and even completely erase the "stubborn" human beings.

As for the very small number of "brave" and "brave" descendants who may have "angelic power", the "angels" are actually not worried at all.

Studies have shown that although the intermarriage between these "braves" will make the ability of giantization steadily inherited, the lifespan of these "brave" is not endless, but will continue to shrink with the increase of giantization, or gradually move closer to brainless giants, and eventually lose their minds and can no longer turn into humans.

Therefore, even if the "angels" do nothing, these last "heroes" will die quickly; If internal intermarriage is carried out in order to retain the ability to become giants, their descendants will soon die; If they choose to marry an ordinary person, then their offspring will also become ordinary people and lose the ability to become giants.
