"Don't even mention you, I'm still afraid. Even after facing giants so many times, I'm still terrified. This fear is not something we can control; it's etched deep into our souls... It's truly pathetic."
Solum is a brave warrior.
He not only possessed excellent skills in the Survey Corps, but also had a strong heart that was ready to die for his cause.
But I still couldn't shake off the fear.
"But no matter how terrified I am, I will still choose to face the giants. I will still find a way to defeat them."
Kill all the giants.
It is Sorum's ultimate dream.
This had nothing to do with any idea of becoming a hero to the world; he genuinely wanted to defeat all the giants and reclaim their freedom.
That is true freedom.
No longer confined within city walls, but able to roam the vast land of China. To witness firsthand the diverse terrains, landforms, and landscapes.
That boundless grassland.
That dense jungle.
That shimmering lake, the world's largest saltwater lake, which Sorum longs for most, is a place known as the ocean.
How wonderful that would be.
It is captivating.
Lin Yan remained silent, yet he was the most attentive of them all.
He kept thinking.
Giants do not seem to exhibit the social characteristics of humans; they act according to their own will, without communication with each other, and their behavior is haphazard. They do not act with reason like humans.
These are the same Titans from the world of 'Attack on Titan' that he is familiar with.
The giants come in various shapes and sizes.
Some were strolling around, some were drooping their heads and staring motionlessly at the ground, some were waving their arms incessantly, some were staring at the city wall with great interest, and some were lying on the ground, looking quite content.
What exactly are these giants doing?
Sorum finally calmed down.
Senovon also looked blankly at those giants...

Senofon frowned slightly, noticing something interesting: their behavior was indeed completely different from what he had expected.
What's going on with these drastically different behaviors?
To date, no other living thing has been like this.
Whether they are social animals, such as bees, ants, locusts and other social insects, or some social fish, or social canids such as wolves and jackals, or herbivores such as wildebeest, antelope, Tibetan wild ass, wild horse, zebra, rhinoceros, elephant, African buffalo, takin and solitary animals, all of them have behaviors that are very different from those of giants.
"What do they eat? This barren land is completely devoid of vegetation, and even small animals struggle to survive."
"Especially large animals like this."
Senov finally came to his senses, and he too began to ponder some questions that lingered in his mind.
This left him feeling very confused.
He also wanted to know what Lin Yan was thinking, so he blurted out the question.
"That's unknown."
"Sorum said."
"I can say that I have seen the most giants, but I still don't know what giants eat to grow up. They must eat a lot of food to grow to such a size, right? But we didn't see any large herds of animals outside the city walls."
Maria shook her head as well.
She knew nothing about it either.
"However, I think it's absolutely impossible for them not to eat."
"Has Sorum never seen them eat either?"
"No, they only eat people, right?"
"But the number of people eaten wouldn't be enough to feed so many Titans, would it? Their appetites are enormous. If we're talking about feeding so many Titans, we'd have to eat everyone inside the walls, right?"
Maria's speculation makes sense.
After saying these words, she felt a chill run down her spine. Just thinking about it was terrifying, and she immediately shook off the horrifying thoughts and bloody images that had already formed in her mind.
Giants are living beings too.
Living things cannot escape biological rules.
Besides plants being able to rely on photosynthesis.
All other life forms rely on food to survive, right? And generally speaking, the energy required increases with body size.
And what about the giants?
It is absolutely impossible for giants not to eat.
Sorum then said decisively.
"No matter what, they still have food; it's absolutely impossible for them to go without energy."
"Yes."
Senovon agreed.
Maria nodded as well.
Lin Yan knew the giant's secret.
The Pure Titans need to devour humans with Titan powers to become human again; their cannibalism may be a curse.
Maria sighed and said.
"We really know nothing about giants."
"Yes, we know too little, which is why the Survey Corps is absolutely indispensable; they absolutely cannot be disbanded."
Solum's expectations for the Survey Corps were more than just a little.
He was determined not to allow the Survey Corps, the only force capable of investigating the secrets of the Titans, to disappear; they were his only hope.
0069 A Significant Disparity in Strength [Please Subscribe]
Although Lin Yan is powerful, he can't do it alone.
If Lin Yan joins the Survey Corps.
With the strength of the Survey Corps and Lin Yan's abilities, they can complement each other perfectly, like a tiger with wings.
Faced with such a disparity in strength, the weaker party must know both themselves and their enemy to ensure victory in every battle; there is no other way. If even the basics are not understood, then defeat is the only path forward.
Lin Yan knew this.
The reason why the ecology of the giants was not investigated is probably because the royal government was manipulating things behind the scenes.
They are among the conservatives.
Furthermore, the Survey Corps, relying on its own organizational strength, surveyed outside the walls. Every expedition suffered heavy casualties.
Even so, it still couldn't change their original intention.
Lin Yan also greatly admired the Survey Corps.
They are true warriors.
"I don't care whether they're conservatives or reformers..."
Lin Yan suddenly spoke up.
However, the safety of Solum cannot be ignored; perhaps Solum will indeed perish in the giants' mouths in the future.
Maria felt the same way about this matter.
She could never have imagined that Solum would die at the hands of a giant.
Lin Yan's eyes turned sharp, like a peerless sword drawn from its sheath, gleaming with a terrifying sharpness that illuminated the darkness.
"I will definitely investigate this thoroughly."
Lin Yan knew.
Even if I told them those things now, they certainly wouldn't believe me. Not everyone can calmly face things that shatter their worldview.
This is only for viewing from a distance.
Absolutely not.
If you don't enter a tiger's den, you can't get a tiger's son.
One thing surprised Lin Yan.
That is, the giant only had one expression: ecstatic joy. Apart from that, the giant showed no other emotions such as anger or sorrow.
Think carefully.
This is true.
Whether they are devouring humans or injuring them, they maintain a surgically enhanced smile.
Why is this so?
smile.
Human emotions are complex, and even smiles are not all the same. There's a subtle, knowing smile, or a hearty laugh. There's a gentle, wry smile, a cold, mocking smile, and a shy smile.
These are all different.
Another type is a sorrowful laugh.
But what about the giants?
What lies hidden behind their identical smiles? Is it genuine elation, or profound sorrow? Lin Yan remembered that Ymir was also very apologetic when she learned that she had only returned to human form by consuming Reiner Brown and Bertholdt Hoover's friends.
She doesn't seem like she really eats people.
But not eating people was like being trapped in a nightmare forever, an endless nightmare tormenting her. Ymir had no idea how many years she had wandered outside the walls as a Pure Titan.
I think of those years.
Ymir's heart was trembling.
"There must be a secret of the Titans outside the walls." Solum had always firmly believed this; only by investigating outside the walls could he find the final answer.
“So we still need to conduct investigations outside the wall,” Senovon said. “And the most crucial thing is that device.”

"Without that device, we would be at the mercy of others."
Lin Yan agreed.
Sorum and Maria nodded in agreement.
at this time.
The city is no longer as chaotic as it used to be.
Although people's hearts are etched with indelible scars, they still have hope.
As long as there is hope in your heart, you will surely be able to break through the darkness.
After this.
Lin Yan has always focused on researching 3D maneuvering devices.
The 3D Maneuver Gear was also a difficult problem for him to overcome. Based on his impression of the 3D Maneuver Gear, he was not yet capable of creating this powerful weapon.
And at this time.
