Chapter 61: The Basement

The Higanshina district, like the other districts, is a special area that exists on the periphery of the wall, enclosed and has two gates, the inner gate and the outer gate.

But a year earlier, those two gates had been breached.

In 845, the Giant and the Armored Giant suddenly appeared and broke through the gates of the Higanshina region.

The range of humanity was forced to retreat within the Rosey Wall, and a year later, humanity finally returned.

"Everyone, stop and rest! Shooting squad, set up Gatling! ”

Under the command, the team walked to the open grassland near the water source, set up tents, set up a Gatling line, and killed the nearby giants.

This is the end point of the expedition, where the soldiers will replenish their strength in order to deal with the large number of giants that may exist in the Higanshina region, and then ride to the inner gate in batches to attract the giants to clean up.

Unlike the previous battles, the Higanshina district must be treated with caution as it is the entrance for giants to break into the walls.

They will rest here until tomorrow, spend another day slaying the giants of Higanshina, and at night, when the giants are unable to move, they will use cement to make preliminary repairs to the outer gates of the Wall of Mary.

Cut off the source first, then repair the inner door, and deal with the giants wandering within the walls.

The cooking team set up a fire and took out pots and pans to make vegetable stew.

Hiding under the protection of Gatling, they sat down around the fire, and one by one they took their bowls and drank soup and ate dry food, and the cows and horses also buried their heads in grazing.

Of the last eighty, no one will be afraid of the giants.

The day passed without any waves.

Early the next morning, the investigators led by Levi used a three-dimensional device to climb over the walls and observe the distribution and number of giants from a high place.

"About fifty giants." Levi, who returned, said.

"What about the outer walls of the Wall of Mary, what is the situation outside the walls?" Erwin asked.

"If you count the giants outside, the total number should be about two hundred." Levi replied.

"Transport squad, is there enough ammunition for us?"

"Yes! Totally sufficient! The captain of the transport squad replied: "Based on the average number of bullets that killed a giant before, our bullets are probably enough to kill four hundred giants!" ”

"I don't know when the next supply will arrive, we can't run out of bullets, we have to save some bullets for the return trip." Hanji chimed in.

"Then engage in a long-distance tug-of-war to avoid the gunfire luring the giants outside the walls." Erwin said, "Levi, I'm sorry for you, I need you to attract the giants. ”

The battle officially began, and the investigators rode into the Higanshina district, seducing the giants there into the Gatling barrage.

One by one, the giants fell on the grass, and the steam that came out formed a brief white mist.

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the clean-up of the giants in the SAR was officially completed, and some of the small giants that were stuck in the terrain and could not move were directly stabbed by Leviban.

At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the surveyors stood on the 50-meter wall of the outer wall, observing the movements of the giants on the periphery, and once a giant moved towards the door, they fired a red signal flare, and the investigators in the SAR rode horses to follow a specific route to lead the incoming giants to the distant Gatling gun and kill them.

Due to the long stretch of the battle line, the giants outside the walls were not attracted by the sound of gunfire.

At seven o'clock in the afternoon, the sun went down and the giant went into hibernation.

The construction team officially entered the Hikanshina district, and Hannis led the workers to lay down the broken outer door mechanism.

The entire outer door was shattered, and in order to repair the outer door, Eren transformed into a fifteen-meter giant, using his huge body to help the construction workers quickly build steel supports.

At 8 p.m., the reinforcement support was erected, and the cement began to be modulated, which was poured by Allen.

It has to be said that the role that giants can play in the construction industry is huge.

With Allen there, it's equivalent to having a nimble excavator and crane, no, more powerful than modern large machines, and in many ways, excavators and cranes are not even as good as giants.

For Allen, the restoration work was like building blocks, and the complex process became very simple.

At 9 p.m., the pouring of the cement was completed, and all that remained was to wait for the cement to harden.

It only takes two or three hours for the initial setting, and by the time the sun comes out tomorrow, the rebuilt wall will complete the final setting, completely lose its plasticity, have a certain strength, and will continue to lose moisture and harden in the remaining thirty days or even years.

The restoration of the walls, by this time, can be considered almost over.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief that the plan went very well.

The exterior wall has been repaired, and as long as the super-large giant and the armored giant do not reappear, the mission of this expedition will be more than half completed.

Although some people are still worried about the super-large giants and armored giants, Ian knows that Reiner and Bertolt are still cultivating the land, and it is impossible for them to teleport to the Higanshina region.

Even in the original plot line, after they broke the wall of Maria, it took them five years to settle down before they shot again.

They are shrouded in all kinds of negative emotions such as the fear of being in the enemy camp, the guilt of witnessing the giant's cannibalism, and the inability to return to their hometown.

"So... The rest... It's the basementβ€”" Erwin looked at Allen, who had turned back into a human.

The giant's body lay on the ground, steam coming out of its body, and it quickly vanished.

Levi slit the back of his neck and, together with Petra, took Allen's arm and pulled him out of the giant's flesh.

He looked exhausted, and turning into a giant seemed to be physically demanding, and with the current abilities that Alan Yeager was showing, he could turn into a giant for up to five hours a day.

Regardless of whether Wei does not maintain the state of a giant to the limit, once he turns back into a human, he will not be able to use the power of the second giant for a short time.

Why did he become a giant, where did this power come from, why did the King of the Walls with the power of the Ancestors not liberate humanity, and what was the outside world like...

Erwin craved answers to these questions.

"Alan, can you still walk?" Erwin crouched down and looked into Allen's eyes: "Where is your home?" ”

"Home..."Allen pursed his lips, staggered to his feet, and pointed in one direction, "Over there." ”

He led the group down the street, and finally found an ordinary stone house.

The oil lamp illuminated the darkness, and Alan pulled up the wooden door on the ground and descended the stone steps.

Alan swallowed, took the key around his neck, and inserted it into the keyhole.
