Lin Yan said.

The burst of light in the air instantly drew the attention of all the fleeing residents. They all turned to look at the sky, bewildered as to what had happened. At that moment, there was no sound from the surroundings; everyone remained silent.

Herfeld Bickel's voice resounded like a thunderclap.

He shouted loudly.

"Don't panic, stay calm."

The sound was deafening, and the residents actually calmed down. To them, it was like a god descending from the sky, and Herfeh Bickel's own imposing presence and intimidating power played the most crucial role.

The residents who had scattered and fled stood still, refraining from any further extreme actions.

This is also part of Herfeld Bickel's personal charm.

That's morale.

Helfie Bickel, having served as the captain of the Survey Corps, was highly skilled in using methods to calm people down and boost morale—it was one of his abilities. Without this, the Survey Corps soldiers would never have been able to persevere this long, nor would they possess such a united spirit.

"Don't panic, everyone, listen to me..."

Herfeld Bickel's voice resonated in everyone's heart; that's the charm of Herfeld Bickel.

At this moment, the rain gradually stopped.

The heavy rain washed away all the bloodshed, a perfect storm of timing and circumstances, as if even the heavens had taken pity on them.

Lin Yan looked at these people; this was their good fortune, and it all went back to 743.

At that time, humanity suffered an attack by giants and was almost completely wiped out.

Many people have made various speculations, but none have provided evidence. The strength of the giants is vastly different from that of humans; humans could only be utterly slaughtered.

As a result, the population decreased to 500,000.

Humanity was repeatedly forced to retreat to life within city walls, becoming prisoners confined to a corner. This was the only way for humanity to survive.

At that time, the land occupied by humans was only 720,000 square kilometers.

The land is barren.

It is difficult to produce more food.

People lived a hard life, yet they managed to survive. The only thing protecting them was the Wall of Mary, which stretched for 3,200 kilometers and was 50 meters high.

They stopped the giants' attack and encroachment.

There are three walls in total, from the outside in: the "Wall of Mary", the "Wall of Rose" and the "Wall of Sheena".

The distance between the Wall of Mary and the Wall of Rose is 100 kilometers, the distance between the Wall of Rose and the Wall of Sina is 130 kilometers, and the distance between the Wall of Sina and the center is 250 kilometers.

The circular territory within the three walls had a radius of 480 kilometers, and the total length of Wall Mary was approximately 3,000 kilometers. The area between each wall comprised human settlements, with a total area of ​​approximately 720,000 square kilometers.

The section within the Wall of Sinner is known as the "Royal Capital".

The giants first appeared more than 30 years ago. Their sole purpose was to hunt humans, and all humans could do was hide inside the city walls.

This is the new reality of humanity falling from the top of the food chain.

Humans knew nothing about the giants.

I don't know how to deal with the giants.

All they knew was that the Titans were immortal and that human weapons were simply incapable of killing them.

This made people even more desperate.

They believed that only city walls could protect them, and they were convinced that humans could never defeat the giants.

That's why the Survey Corps is not well-regarded by most people.

The city wall has been deeply ingrained in everyone's heart, and even in the small area enclosed outside the wall, they do not doubt its legitimacy.

Actually, this is not without reason.

The stationed troops were insufficient to protect every part of the city wall, so a small area that was designated as a decoy became the bait.

Once the giants attack, this small area will become the 'bait' to lure them in.

This is because giants have the trait of being attracted to large numbers of people.

This way, when giants attack this small area, they can better counterattack, defend, or retreat.

This will buy more time for more people.

This is also a tactic of sacrificing a pawn to save the rook, but it repeatedly exposes the ugliness of human nature.

This is no secret.

People were aware of the dangers of the area, but because the higher-ups had countermeasures in place, they did not provide better treatment.

In this world where survival is difficult, this is a great temptation.

Anhai'er belongs to the workshop, which is also where Lin Yan currently works. This workshop is located on the outskirts of the Shiganshina district. The workshop's main responsibility is to manufacture weapons, and Anhai'er is the workshop's most outstanding craftsman.

Lin Yan now possesses Anhai'er's memories.

Then he would have Anheir's abilities.

That is to manufacture weapons.

Lin Yan could even surpass An Hai'er in this regard, given that the technology of his original world was far more advanced. Furthermore, with his system, creating even more powerful weapons wasn't impossible.

"You people are so inflexible. You have to be flexible and adaptable in everything. You can't do it this way..."

Lin Yan is doing the same job as Anhaier.

He had become the central figure here, and everyone respected him greatly and obeyed his every word.

"You're back."

The first thing Lin Yan saw when he returned to the workshop was a girl, a cute-looking girl.

Corina Irumari.

This girl is also a craftswoman, and Lin Yan's personal assistant. This is something not just anyone can do; she is a carefully selected and highly qualified assistant.

This girl went to great lengths to become Lin Yan's assistant, and she completed the tasks he assigned her very diligently!

He is skillful and his abilities far surpass those of others.

However, this lovely girl is a complete realist. The only reason she does her current job is to find a stable job so that she can live a life free from worries about food and clothing and survive in this chaotic world.

Simply put, it means having enough to eat.

The workshop was mostly staffed by men, making Corina Irumari stand out. She was the darling of the group; naturally, the men took great care of this fifteen-year-old girl.

However, Corina Irumaly disdained to associate with them.

Besides work, Corina Iruma's favorite thing is being with Lin Yan.

At that moment, Corina Irumali was cleaning when she saw Lin Yan return and immediately rushed to his side.

This is not Corinna Irumari's job either.

It was something she did willingly.

The room has a very simple layout, with some basic furniture and mostly various equipment piled up in the room. Although it's called a bedroom, it really looks like a storage room at most.

This is clearly a boy's room, and a girl willingly cleaning a boy's room—her intentions are as clear as day.

The room, which was only about 30 square meters, felt very cramped.

"What's wrong? You look unhappy. Who upset you?"

Lin Yan looked at Corina Irumari with a keen interest.

Corina Iruma—this little girl is probably the only source of joy in this workshop.

If he had to stay with a bunch of grown men all the time, Lin Yan probably wouldn't want to stay here for even a day longer.

Corina Irumali looked at Lin Yan with an innocent expression.

A hint of surprise flickered in his large, dark eyes.

"It wasn't me, it was you...you don't look well..."

"fine……"

Lin Yan didn't know why he looked so unwell. Actually, he might not have adapted to this world yet. Although he could be considered one of the people who knew this world best, even more than the Survey Corps, he didn't want to get involved in these matters so quickly. There were still many things he needed to understand.

"How is the Survey Corps doing?"

"It ended in failure again. This time, the casualties were heavy, and many people did not return! They are still a stubborn bunch."

"And their heads were thrown back."

"what?"

Corina Irumari was utterly terrified; all she could picture was the horrific sight of a head falling from the sky.

Lin Yan told Corina Iruma everything, and Corina Iruma's expression grew increasingly grim. Finally, she bent over and vomited.

However, since he hadn't eaten, he didn't vomit anything, only dry heaved.

"Is this an attempt to create a living hell? Why would those giants do such a thing? Isn't the giants' goal to eat people? They..."

Corina Iruma had a feeling that she couldn't quite understand.

Lin Yan actually knew the reason: these giants were being manipulated. The reason they behaved in such a human-like manner was that they were being directed by someone.

Fortunately, it rained then, washing away all the filth.

Otherwise, it would be a truly horrific sight.

"Luckily I didn't go; if I had, I would have been terrified."

"Many people were terrified and scattered in all directions,"

These people had never seen a giant before, nor did they know the horror of a giant eating people. But this time, they probably experienced a little bit of it.

They don't know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.

"It won't do for a craftsman to be so timid."

Lin Yan smiled and said to Corina Iruma,

Corina Iruma looked at Lin Yan with a pitiful expression, her large eyes evoking a sense of sympathy. Lin Yan, not wanting to tease her any longer, continued speaking.

"Don't be afraid, everything is gone now, it's all been washed away by the rain."

"Ah."

Corina Iruma nodded.

"By the way, what was that cannon fire I heard? Was it aimed at the giants? How effective was it?"

"I don't know."

Lin Yan was telling the truth.

"We must develop weapons specifically designed to deal with Titans; these previous weapons are completely ineffective."

"Lin Yan, don't be too upset. This isn't solely your responsibility. The responsibility ultimately lies with the military; they are the ones who have the duty to protect this honest person. As for you, just have a clear conscience."

"Cheer up, Lin Yan."

Corina Iruma comforted Lin Yan.

Lin Yan was surprised that this little girl was so perceptive. Although Corina Iruma's guess about Lin Yan's thoughts was not accurate, it was understandable. How could a fifteen-year-old girl possibly guess what Lin Yan was thinking?

"We'll have to wait for the report to see how effective the cannon is."
