"He's much smarter than me."

"It turns out we've been taking a long detour all along, really going the long way around instead of the shortest route."

Senov was filled with emotion.

This is true of many things in the world. Once you get caught up in a certain way of thinking, you will be limited. And some things are actually very simple, but you make them complicated.

"The properties of this bamboo are indeed..."

"Yes, that's the characteristic of being hollow. As long as we make good use of this, we can definitely make it into a very strong gas storage tank."

“It’s perfect.”

Seno Feng nodded happily.

Lin Yan weighed the black bamboo in his hand; the biggest problem was no longer an issue. The next step was to create the device. Lin Yan was confident he could quickly create the gas storage tank and perfectly improve the device.

This feels really good.

"Let's get started right away."

Lin Yan said.

And he did indeed succeed. A few days later, Lin Yan successfully completed the device, and he did so with ease. He replaced the air tank and the wire, thus completing the modification of the entire 3D Maneuver Gear.

Although there are still some areas that need improvement.

However, it's already quite good for the current stage.

The most significant improvement after this adjustment is its lightweight design, which facilitates movement without being limited by weight. Of course, this weight reduction is also thanks to the ingenious use of black bamboo.

The number of gas tanks on both sides of the body has also increased to two.

This has two advantages.

One option is that one of them can be used as a backup, so that in case of special circumstances, the other gas tank can be used.

More than that.

Lin Yan could even guarantee that he could climb the Wall of Mary, which was considered the most insurmountable wall in the minds of the people inside.

now.

That seemingly insurmountable wall is no longer an obstacle.

The only drawback was its short operating time; extending the time would be ideal. Indeed, in subsequent research, Lin Yan's focus remained on developing a lightweight device capable of storing large quantities of gas.

It would be even better if there were system rewards.

At that time, they will no longer be affected by the Black Gold Bamboo and Ice Blast Stones. What Lin Yan needs to consider is the balance of influence on this world. Once the balance is broken, this world will completely deviate from its original trajectory.

During this time, Herfee still did not react at all.

People have repeatedly demanded the complete closure of the "Wall of Mary".

Some even took to the streets in protest, frantically trying to seal off one of the city gates—a possible consequence of the previous giant attack. Some may have slowly healed their emotional wounds, while others have been completely consumed by fear.

The actions of the King's government are also disheartening.

They integrated various workshops, which was clearly driven by conservative forces. They really would stop at nothing to achieve their goals.

However, Lin Yan had another guess.

That is, the conservatives understand the truth behind the Titans, or they know who controls the truth behind them. That's why they know that simply killing Titans is futile.

Most importantly, all those workshops have stopped operating.

Only Lin Yan and Senofon have not stopped working.

A storm is about to break.

Lin Yan also sensed danger.

For ordinary people, this city gate will never be opened to them, so it doesn't matter if the city gate is completely sealed off.

Lin Yan's arrival is indeed significant for the Survey Corps. Although killing the Titans outside the walls doesn't guarantee victory, and their ultimate enemy is still humanity itself, this is a stage they must go through.

This will hone the Survey Corps.

The future Survey Corps will include not only Levi Ackerman, but also Eren Yeager, Mikasa Ackerman, and others.

They were all excellent Survey Corps soldiers.

Lin Yan still remembers when all the Training Corps members were integrated and then asked if they wanted to join the Survey Corps, Erwin Smith made a bold move.

That is to let them choose freely.

Eren Yeager, Mikasa Ackerman, and Armin Arnold undoubtedly joined the Survey Corps.

Another memorable figure is Jean Kirchstein.

He proved that not all heroes are fearless of death; they fear death, yet they still forge ahead with courage.

He initially dreamed of joining the gendarmerie inside the city walls and living a safe life inland, but the death of Marco Bott triggered a profound change in his character.

He participated in the battle of the Reberio containment zone, serving as a temporary battlefield commander. He used explosive charges to cut off the Marleyan army's support and successfully retreated.

On the airship, he witnessed Gabi Brown and Falk Glass shoot and kill their close friend Sasha Blause.

After the internal strife on Paradis Island, he followed Hange and others to stop Eren from activating the Rumbling in an attempt to expel all life from outside the island.

After joining the Survey Corps, she questioned Eren about injuring Mikasa and the reasons and value of her comrades' sacrifices, hoping that Eren could make a sacrifice to repay everyone.

While the Allied Forces were pursuing the Armored Titan, he climbed onto the Armored Titan's shoulders with his fellow recruits, criticized Reiner and Bertholdt, and later saved Mikasa from being attacked by numerous Titans and unable to react in time. He was proud of this and boasted about it to his fellow recruits afterward.

When Hannes attacked the Titans, he prepared to help, but was hit by a regular Titan thrown by the Armored Titan and was temporarily unconscious. He woke up after climbing the wall and explained the situation and severity of the casualties to Eren.

After the Allied Forces recaptured Eren and he returned, he became a member of the new Levi Squad.

This person is a flesh-and-blood human being with emotions.

That's the most authentic person.

In this cruel world, it is remarkable to maintain such vibrant humanity.

Lin Yan was also moved by it.

They were even more like angels than the angels of that world.

"Looks like I'll have to make a trip." Lin Yan arrived at the Survey Corps' headquarters with his device, intending to test their attitude.

"This situation is truly unexpected."

People all looked worried and frowning.

The ordinary soldiers, in particular, were pale and depressed, because they were outnumbered and powerless and could do nothing.

The Survey Corps' captain, Herfeld Bickel, was probably at his wit's end; his last hope lay with Lin Yan.

He was in his office at the time.

The desk was piled high with documents, which was what Captain Herfee Bickel of the Survey Corps was currently working on. Herfee Bickel's face was pale, and he looked exhausted, indicating that he hadn't had enough rest.

"Is the captain busy?"

“I, Herfeh Bickel, am really not good at these things…” he sighed. “It’s much simpler to go into battle against the Titans.”

Herfee Bickel still managed a slight smile when he saw Lin Yan.

Although that smile also looked tired.

"Did you summon me here because of the expedition?"

"The captain is really a straightforward person. It's much easier to deal with someone like you, without all those scheming and cunning tricks."

Lin Yan said.

He genuinely disliked those government lackeys, especially those who played politics and were just a bunch of despicable clowns.

"Please just say it."

Herfeld Bickel was still quite polite to Lin Yan.

His tone was also very respectful.

"I suggest we don't launch an expedition anytime soon. I'm sure I'll find the giants' weakness, and then we can achieve twice the result with half the effort."

Lin Yan said firmly.

This was already a done deal, and he figured it was time to give Herfeld Bickel a heads-up.

Lin Yan is naturally a shrewd person.

This move can also be considered a stabilizing measure.

At this point, a distant expedition would be a one-way trip.

Those Survey Corps soldiers were all vibrant lives, and it would be such a waste to squander them like this. Lin Yan also knew that those who win the hearts of the people win the world. He had little interest in the world, but he also didn't want it to fall into the hands of these incompetent nobles.

It wasn't some noble act.

Lin Yan wasn't after fame or fortune; those Xu Mings were unimportant to him. The most important thing was that he just found them an eyesore.

At this moment, he had a new goal in mind.

Overthrow the pseudo-monarchy.

"Oh? Is that so? Actually, I know that if we insist on going on an expedition at this time, it will definitely put our brothers at greater risk."

Herfeld Bickel certainly cherished their lives as well.

The Survey Corps was already small in number, and Herfeh Bickle knew all too well how precious the lives of these passionate men were.

They sacrificed their lives for their country and for humanity.

They were not pawns sacrificed in vain.

"As the captain of the Survey Corps, I have a responsibility to humanity and to every soldier."

Senofon listened to their conversation but couldn't get a word in edgewise. He wasn't afraid of Herfel Bickel, but the captain's imposing presence was striking.

He reluctantly shut his mouth every time he tried to speak.

"I brought this today."

Lin Yan said.

"This device should be the key to our breakthrough, but it will take some time to train us to use it fluently."

"Is this even the special machine you designed to defeat the giants?"

Herfeld Bickel was very interested in the device.

His eyes were fixed on the device, almost staring so intently they seemed to have punched a hole in them. This was exactly what he had always wanted to achieve.

"There's one more thing I want to tell you: I've made a preliminary guess about the giants' weakness."

"really?"

Herfeld Bickel's voice trembled slightly.

He never imagined things would go so smoothly; it was something he'd never dreamed of. He truly lived up to his reputation as a highly valued talent. And he certainly lived up to his reputation as a young hero, achieving a breakthrough in such a short time.

"The giant's weakness is the back of the neck, which is also my guess, but there's a high chance that there won't be any problems."

"What we need to do is be fully prepared."

"The expedition is postponed."

Lin Yan said calmly.

Although he could have ignored the Survey Corps' affairs, or perhaps a month earlier, Lin Yan wouldn't have bothered with them at all. But things were different now; Lin Yan was joining the expedition outside the city walls and fighting alongside the Survey Corps soldiers.

Those who fought alongside Lin Yan would not be abandoned.

He, Lin Yan, is not that kind of person.
