Chapter 11 The Strange World The Giant Breaks The Wall(1/2)
Climbing the lush tree that was seventy or eighty meters high, Lance finally breathed a sigh of relief. All he had to do was wait for the sunset.
On the first day of coming to this world, Lance encountered monsters with huge humanoid appearance, and the giants called them the most appropriate.
The secretary system marked the giants: Human mutants, what happened in this world? People all become this virtue.
He is between three meters and more than ten meters tall, and his body is naked and his lower body is shiny. His shape will be deformed on the basis of the human body, such as big head, big belly, long arms, etc., and his face is full of dementia-like neurotic expressions.
Judging from the current contact, giants have no wisdom, even worse than wild animals. They just wander aimlessly, and seem to be only interested in the human-shaped object of Lance. Therefore, when Lance goes down to the ground, a large group of giants will chase them.
Lance's current power is about twenty times that of ordinary people. It is already at the superman level for ordinary people, but he has no advantage in facing giants. Fortunately, he still has several times the speed of ordinary people. With his outstanding swordsmanship, he can use it to kill ordinary giants. It is not very difficult, but the problem is that giants cannot be killed. No matter whether they have broken hands and feet or cut into several pieces, they will recover in the high-temperature steam. Cutting off their heads can win some events.
Thankfully the Giant is inactive at night, giving Lance plenty of time to find food.
One day, after accidentally cutting off a giant's head, the giant did not recover, but died, and quickly evaporated and disappeared.
How could such a big difference be made if the head is cut off?
Lance inferred from this that the giant's weakness should be a certain position on the neck. After several experiences, it was finally discovered that the giant's weakness was located at the back of the neck. After discovering the giant's weakness, for Lance, the giant is not that difficult to deal with. The problem is that there are too many of them and they cannot be killed.
Now, Lance just wants to leave this world soon. In order to speed up the progress of world analysis, complete the capture, sampling, etc. of giants, and then start looking for materials that are of interest to other analysis systems.
There was no harvest in the following time. Lance wandered aimlessly while waiting for the analysis progress to advance. One day, the system gave him some strength or ability to survive in this world.
The ecological environment of this world is well maintained, there is no shortage of food, and Lance's life is not too difficult.
Until one day, Lance discovered a human body, a blood-stained uniform, a winged emblem on his back, and a strange mechanical device on his waist.
The appearance of normal human corpses can be inferred that not all humans in this world have mutated, and there should be areas where normal humans live. The mechanical devices on the corpses were not damaged. Lance studied them for a few days and roughly guessed that their purpose was to fight against giants.
Lance began to search for the settlement of humans. After searching for nearly a month, he saw a straight white line on the horizon from afar. After getting closer, Lance saw clearly that it was a city wall, a city wall that stretched for countless kilometers. With Lance's eyes, he could not see the ends on both sides.
Hiding in the giant woods closest to the city wall, Lance observed that the wall was about fifty meters high, and some people patrolled and set up some old-fashioned artillery.
As an outsider, it is obviously unwise to come into contact with the world. Lance climbed into the city at night, and the 50-meter-high wall did not hinder him.
Lance first borrowed a few clothes to change, and the sword also found a piece of canvas to wrap it around. After so long and many battles, he turned out that his clothes had become pieces of cloth and could only cover his shame.
That night, I squatted under the eaves of someone's house. The next day, Lance began to observe the world inside the city wall and look for opportunities to integrate into it.
Penniless and language barriers are the primary problem that comes to the new world. Lance's own jerky was quickly exhausted and he could only support himself as always. There are still many forests and wilderness in the city wall. However, compared with the land outside the city wall, the food in the wild is relatively poor. After two days of being hit, Lance even had the idea of turning out the city wall again.
A few rhizomes, a few bird eggs, some insect pupas, etc. are Lance's lunch. The huge amount of food is not enough to fill the gaps between the teeth, but there is no way to bake it and make do with it.
"Sir, do you want to come to my house for something?"
Lance was eating when a man came to him. A man wearing a wide-brimmed hat, holding a hunting rifle, and carrying a few wild ducks.
Lance didn't understand the other party's words, but felt the other party's kindness. After thinking about it, he accepted this kindness. Of course, he remained quite alert.
Then the man brought Lance to his house and welcomed him kindly. The man's family was a standard family of three, a gentle and virtuous wife and beautiful daughter, and was happy.
After talking in a more slight manner, the man probably knew that Lance was a homeless wanderer and expressed his willingness to take Lance in for some time.
Lance chose to stay and wanted to learn some basic terms. Of course, he did not live for nothing, and helped with some work every day. Afterwards, Ackerman also helped Lance get a household registration certificate, which was considered to have a formal identity.
Compared to life outside the city wall, there is no giant inside the city wall, so it is much more peaceful. Lance occasionally thinks of Denisa, Claya and the others, and even wonders, is there a way to go back? Lance has no idea.
Secretary system:...World resolution meets standards, comparison and analysis...Light Fairy unlocks...
Qiqi woke up in this world much earlier than in the previous world, but most of the time it still allowed Qiqi to turn into a gem form.
The peaceful days lasted for more than a month, and Lance also gained some understanding of the world.
More than a hundred years ago, giants appeared and began to prey on humans. A large number of humans died. The surviving humans built three walls of Maria, Rosse and Shina. They lived within the wall at the cost of losing their freedom. Now there are only more than one million humans in the wall.
Logically speaking, there are only so many people left in human beings, and in the face of a great enemy, we should unite and work together.
As a result, it is still like a bird... The social class still exists, and it is even more obvious. The three high walls divide people's ranks. The powerful have enough food and enjoy all day long. The poor work hard and cannot afford to spend money. There are also robbers, **.
In the eyes of Lance, an outsider, it is a miracle that humans can maintain until now.
The secretary system marked it clearly, however, that the giant is a human mutant, which is very different from what he heard from Ackerman, and there may be unknown inside information.
Lance did not care about the past and future of human beings in this world, but just lived a peaceful life and waited for the time to leave.
A peaceful life is also good. The city wall has been built for more than a hundred years. No giant can invade in this century. Lance is relieved. He guessed that he could only stay in this world for ten years at most.
The food and supplies in the world within the city walls have always been in a relatively urgent state. The Ackerman family is not rich. As a farmer, after handing over most of the food, there is not much left. After taking in Lance, the family's living standards have declined, but the family doesn't mind.
Lance now knows that Ackerman's wife is an oriental, and her daughter Mikasa is very beautiful and cute because she is mixed-race.
Lance also wanted to repay the family, and gradually became familiar with it and began to go out of the city wall to hunt. With his skills, he often gained a lot. In addition to eating it himself, he could also sell some to make some money.
On that day, Lance walked halfway and found that the weather was not good, so he turned around and returned.
As the rain poured down, Lance felt something was wrong as soon as he ran to the door of Ackerman's house. It was too quiet and had a smell of blood. When he pushed open the door, he saw Ackerman and his wife lying in a pool of blood.
"Qiqi, come out to treat them." Lance called out Qiqi, and while busy performing CPR for the two of them, inputting internal energy, Lance's perception, they still have signs of life.
After a busy work, with the assistance of Qiqi Scale Powder and her healing light, Mrs. Ackerman took the lead in recovering and murmured: "Mikasa..."
"Don't talk, you are in danger now. I'll go back to find Mikasa." Lance said, trying his best to maintain Ackerman's life.
"What happened?" A man walked in, carried a medical box, and followed a boy of eight or nine years old.
"Doctor Yeager, you are here just in time, take a look." Mrs. Ackerman was in poor health, and Dr. Yeager often came to treat him. Now he is here, and the doctor is more professional after all.
Yeager checked and said, "Fortunately you handled it in time, and they are still saved."
"Then, I'll leave the rest to you, I'll go find Mikasa."
Lance said, taking the big sword leaning against the side of the room, seeing Ackerman and his wife's injuries, the other party had weapons in his hands.
"Leave it to me, Alan, you can help find Mikasa as well."
Lance went out to observe the ground and saw two people's footprints, which were very obvious. Follow the footprints all the way to a house in the forest. The little boy named Allen followed behind him, and Lance didn't care.
Lance kicked open the door and immediately saw Mikasa tied to the ground.
"Who!?"
A man with a beard immediately waved his axe and slashed. How could Lance be polite to such a person? He punched him and hit the wall and his head broke. Seeing this, another man wanted to take Mikasa hostage. Lance threw the sword away, and the sound of the bones shattering, and the man fell to the ground, almost breaking into two pieces, and his internal organs flowed out.
Lance stepped forward to check Mikasa. She had no scars on her body, but her eyes were dull and she was dead.
"Mikasa, are you okay?" Lance asked,
Three still didn't respond.
Lance recalled the secretary system and saw that the secretary system marked Mikasa:...human spiritual mutations... probably were too stimulating, and some mental abnormalities appeared. As for what it was, whether it was good or bad, Lance couldn't know.
Lance picked up Mikasa and returned to Ackerman's house. At this time, Yeager had already rescued Ackerman and his wife. However, the two were not in good condition and Ackerman was still in a coma. Mrs. Ackerman saw that Lance brought Mikasa back, so she felt relieved and received treatment.
Later, the gendarmerie intervened in the investigation and found out that the man who kidnapped Mikasa was a human trafficker. After that, there was no follow-up. Both of them were dead anyway.
However, judging from the information obtained by Yeager, these human traffickers kidnapped children simply to those powerful people for fun. Compared to various demons and monsters, Lance still feels that the sinister human heart is even more terrifying, and these gangs must not hit him.
Although Ackerman and his wife were rescued, their condition was extremely unstable. In order to facilitate treatment, Lance simply took the two to Dr. Yeager's house for temporary residence.
Dr. Yeager's family lives in West Ganxi District, near the city wall, which makes it convenient for Lance. He goes out to hunt every two or three days and brings back a lot of meat.
Dr. Yeager's son Alan is the same age as Mikasa. They often pick up some firewood on the side of the city wall. Mikasa was greatly stimulated and no longer likes to laugh as before. He always had a stern face and had no expression on his face.
On this day, Lance returned to the city and saw a team of people as soon as he arrived at the gate. Lance now knew that it was the Investigation Corps. The emblem of the Wings of Freedom behind the uniform was their logo, claiming to gather all the wisdom and power of mankind. The main task was to challenge the giant area outside the city, investigate the intelligence about the giant, and also the hope of mankind.
At this time, human hope was decayed, like a dog that was strayed. At first, the crowd cheered, asking if there was any result, whether it was discovered the opportunity to counterattack the giant. As a result, it quickly turned into the cry of the old parents of the loss of their son, as well as the incompetence of the Investigation Corps.
The Investigation Corps just moved forward silently, without saying anything.
“Hi…Lance.”
The person who greeted Lance was a middle-aged man with short yellow hair, with a drunken blush on his face, a circle of stubble on his mouth, more than 1.8 meters tall, wearing the uniform of the garrisoned Corps. The garrisoned Corps was responsible for strengthening the walls and stationing in various cities. The emblem was two rose flowers on a shield - guarding the roses.
The man's name was Hannis. The guards at the gate here, Lance often went out to hunt. After a while, he had some friendship with Hannis, who was garrisoning the garrison. He often gave them some prey, and they used them to make drinks and were drunk all day long.
The secretary system marked the city wall very strangely, "a city wall with certain research value"? No matter why, in order to speed up the analysis progress, Lance would wander around the city wall when he was free.
Mikasa and Alan carried firewood on their backs and stood beside Hannis.
Lance threw a hare to Hannis, and Lance asked, "How is it?"
A little cold hand grabbed Lance's hand, and Lance knew it was Mikasa if he didn't look at it.
Hannis was not polite and sighed: "It's still the same, but the investigation team suffered a lot of losses this time and no results. It's a waste of time and life..."
"No, no!" Allen suddenly shouted excitedly, "The Investigation Corps is not wasting time and life. They are the hope of human beings and will definitely get useful information. If not, it will definitely be possible next time. If not, wouldn't we humans be like domestic animals raised in captivity? The Investigation Corps is definitely OK, I believe." Allen said firmly, this child was always very fascinated by the Investigation Corps.
"Ah, ah, you won't understand what you say to you little dear." Hannis scratched his head, ignored Allen, and turned around and left.
"Lance, why do you think that humans will sooner or later go to the outside world, right? Yes, you go out hunting every day and it's okay. You must know something, right?" Allen was quite stubborn and a little unyielding. Hannis left, and he pestered Lance again.
Alan was really smart, and he saw that Lance was extraordinary. However, Lance was not interested in getting involved with a child and pretended to be confused and said, "Do you know this? Or don't know? Who knows?" He muttered and walked towards the direction of Alan's house.
"..." Allen had no choice but to do anything. Lance ignored him at all. He wanted to follow him to hunt several times, but was rejected.
"... The greed we do, and the sins that deeply hurt in our souls, eventually bring us the extremely evil hell here. There will be no more painful and harsh punishments in the world than here. How greedy, your own sins have been destined by the root of your bloodline. You can only retreat back to the wall and end with your hatred with hatred. Besides, what way out can we do..."
The priests of the Celestial Church were there to promote their doctrines, are they divine punishments? Maybe, but it was more like a man-made disaster. These religious rhetorics seemed to reveal some information, and Lance just thought about it for a moment.
People's lives within the city walls have been quiet for more than a hundred years. People have become accustomed to not thinking about what they have or have. It is similar to their usual life. After all, most people are content with the status quo.
When he returned to Dr. Yeager's house, Mrs. Yeager took his prey to clean up. Dr. Yeager came to the hospital and was not at home.
After nearly a year of treatment, Ackerman has been able to walk and do things within his ability. Mrs. Ackerman is weak and can only lie on the ** most of the time.
