He frowned slightly and saw a blurry figure in the distance. After waiting a moment, he saw Lin Yan riding a horse.

"Hurry, let's get inside the city walls quickly."

Although Solum was curious about how Lin Yan had escaped, whether he had encountered any giants along the way, and whether the giant captured by the net was actually dead, he didn't have the energy to ask too many questions.

Time was of the essence.

His life hung by a thread.

We must hurry back inside the city walls.

"Walk."

"quick."

The two rode at full speed, entering the city walls before the gates closed. Lin Yan may not have known that, had he not intervened, the man before him, Solum, who had once sworn to kill all the giants, would also be perishing outside the walls.

His wife Maria and his children will never see him return.

……

For the past few days, Lin Yan has been having the same dream over and over again.

That was a hundred years later, a scene of the Colossal Titan destroying the walls and the Titan invasion, and Lin Yan even saw Eren's mother being devoured. Upon waking from the dream, Lin Yan felt nauseous.

In fact, he is a very determined person.

Ordinary things or horrific or disgusting scenes rarely arouse his emotions; perhaps it is precisely because of those bloody experiences that he has become like this.

He sighed slightly.

The boundless desert, the enormous giants running across it, and their unfathomable expressions.

Whether it's a greedy smile or a tearful expression, it's all nauseating.

Soldiers were torn to pieces.

devour.

Even a soldier who had shown special concern for Lin Yan on the road was eaten. He once said embarrassedly, "Actually, I have a younger brother at home. You and my brother are quite similar. You both seem very indifferent, but you are actually warm-hearted inside."

The soldier didn't say that without reason.

once.

The soldier was unwell.

Lin Yan helped him recover by pressing acupoints.

From then on, the soldier felt grateful to Lin Yan. Lin Yan didn't think much of it; it was just a small favor.

These tough men knew that a drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring of gratitude.

"Damn it!!! Damn it!!! So damn it!!!!"

This was the first time Lin Yan had ever been so angry.

Those were true heroes who risked their lives, unafraid of death... no, even in the face of death, they stepped forward—that is the greatest sense of righteousness. Who wouldn't feel fear in the face of death, especially such a terrifying one?

They are human beings.

It's not mechanical.

"Sooner or later, I will slaughter you all..." A thought suddenly flashed through Lin Yan's mind, and he jolted awake. He realized that this was Anhai'er's memory, and in Anhai'er's memory, Solum was already dead.

His anger, his resentment, his hatred... flooded his mind.

In each of his nightmares, Anheir screamed in agony.

He tried to stop it all, but to no avail. The terrifying giants completely ignored their angry roars.

The hideous giants tore people's bodies apart and twisted them...blood flowed like rivers, the scene was incredibly cruel.

Lin Yan saw Solum's sadness.

He was crying out in sorrow.

Each time the impact was so intense, Anheir would wake up from a nightmare, unable to forget it all.

"Perhaps I really should do something?"

Lin Yan muttered to himself.

From a certain perspective, Lin Yan doesn't have much power to interfere with this world; in other words, the future of this world is essentially predetermined. A hundred years from now, the Titans will still attack. And Levi Ackerman and Eren will still meet.

Mikasa Ackerman will still be a sharp, decisive, and ruthless girl.

Armin will still fight the Colossal Titan.

These are all things that are inevitable.

Whether it was the Heavenly River Battle in the past Super God world or that great war in the Marvel world, they were all battles between humans and humans. At least death falls within the scope of normal warfare, whether it's angels, Taotie, or whatever.

They killed for profit.

Instead of tearing a living person apart and then devouring them.

It was also death, and the death toll in that world was even higher, but no other world had ever brought such a powerful impact.

death.

When did it become so disgusting?

Lin Yan probably didn't realize how bad his complexion was at that moment, with his brows furrowed and his eyes filled with such complex emotions.

It has both compassion for the world.

There was also a slight sense of confusion.

This time, Lin Yan stood at a crossroads. If things continued to develop as before, the number of people who would die in this world would be far more than just these few. However, Lin Yan knew that the greatest disaster in this world was not the disaster of the giants, but the greed of human nature.

The giants are merely the facade; the real conspirators are the people behind it all.

"Lin Yan, if you keep burying yourself in research like this, you'll ruin your health." The workshop manager, Caspar, actually came to see Lin Yan in person.

His attitude towards Lin Yan has also changed significantly.

Kaspar is neither a gentleman nor a villain. He used to treat Anhail like a servant, but Lin Yan is not someone to be trifled with.

"The important thing is to eat well and sleep well, otherwise Corinna will worry. I think without Corinna, this room of yours will become like..."

Kaspar did not continue speaking.

It'll probably become like a pigsty.

Kaspar simply believed that Lin Yan had been provoked by this expedition, after all, he had witnessed the deaths of so many people.

Lin Yan, however, had no interest in paying attention to the old man.

He didn't look directly at Kaspar as he asked.

"Any progress?"

"That thing?"

Kaspar countered with a question, then sighed and said, "There has been no progress so far, which is to be expected."

As expected!

Lin Yan was a little disappointed.

"Helfe didn't say anything? That's a very important matter."

"..."

Kaspar shook his head.

"Perhaps we really can't defeat the giants; I've heard about their terrifying regenerative abilities."

"With their ability to regenerate after being cut off, and even piercing their hearts seemingly unable to kill them, what other options do we have?"

"I don't know how the Survey Corps is doing. If the Survey Corps really doesn't disband, then our workshop's orders will definitely drop sharply, and we won't even have a problem eating."

"Instead of worrying about those trivial things, we should think about these practical issues."

"What we need to think about now isn't getting outside the walls, but how to survive inside them, do you understand, Lin Yan?"

"No matter how good your skills are, or how smart you are, you can't live without money."

"There are many things that are beyond our control, such as the deaths of those soldiers, or the predicaments faced by the Survey Corps. We are just small craftsmen in the workshop, and there is very little we can do."

Kaspar kept talking.

Lin Yan really disliked this rambling nonsense.

Perhaps, in Kaspar's somewhat greedy and stingy heart, there is still a trace of softness.

Kaspar touched his bald head.

He cautiously observed Lin Yan's reaction.

"Just give up."

“I will not give up. I will soon find out why the giants died, and we can kill those monsters.”

Lin Yan said firmly.

This statement not only failed to receive any praise or agreement, but Kaspar even gave Lin Yan a pitying look.

"You're just too stubborn."

"However, someone did witness the giant's death, and that was Helfe..."

During that giant attack, although some people knew that a god descended from the sky and killed the giants, their specific memories were vague. Some government officials even approached them and threatened them, forbidding them from spreading such rumors again, or they would be imprisoned.

What an absurd act!

However, Lin Yan knew the intention behind it.

This is mostly a tactic used by conservatives.

However, at this moment, Kaspar's expression was quite inscrutable, a mixture of excitement and unease. He had little interest in understanding what Kaspar was really thinking.

As for the last expedition, Lin Yan knew that the new soldiers had indeed suffered a considerable shock.

"Are we going to find Herfeld?"

"No need."

Herfeld is actually not important.

Lin Yan also wanted to know when Helfe had witnessed the death of a giant. Apart from the last giant attack, there probably weren't any other opportunities to witness a giant's death firsthand.

Kaspar shrugged.

"Whether the Survey Corps can continue to exist is still highly questionable. Perhaps the Survey Corps will cease to exist tomorrow."

He sighed as he spoke.

The number of casualties on the last expedition was not actually that high, but the death toll on previous expeditions was indeed horrifying.

"I am leaving."

"Kaspar said."

After that, Lin Yan met Herfee Bickel, the captain of the Survey Corps.

His expression was solemn when he saw Lin Yan.

but--.

Herfeh Bickel had always been a serious and unsmiling man, which Lin Yan found perfectly acceptable.

"I've been thinking about something lately, so I wanted to ask for your thoughts."

Herfeld Bickel paused for a moment before speaking.
