From the Sunflower Fields

Chapter 21 The Fall of Higanshina

Ah, about the update, I have been busy recently, learning to drive, but now Liuyun only needs to practice subject three at night and it will be OK, so I will update twice a day, but because the typing speed is really not fast, I guess two updates are enough. Yes, there will be more updates when I improve my typing speed. I hope everyone can continue to support Liuyun.Well, there is another update this afternoon.

There are large pieces of cotton candy-like clouds floating lazily in the sky, and a group of wild geese forming a herringbone shape are flapping their wings and flying south for the winter.

It was evening, the setting sun was about to set, and the color of the sky was a little yellow.

The men gathered together to chat, the young women in aprons put away the clothes hanging outside, and the newborn babies slept peacefully in the arms of their mothers biting their white and tender fingers.

Everything seems to be the same as usual.

But everything seemed out of the ordinary.

"Then, because I said that humans should one day see the outside world, I was beaten and called a heretic"

The one who spoke was a very handsome boy, with blond straight hair hanging down to the ears, and a thin body, but compared with his thin body, his head seemed huge.

His name is Ermin Aruret, a child who likes to read very much, and is a friend of Ellen and Mikasa.

Just now, he was beaten by three other children because he said he wanted to see the world outside the wall. Fortunately, Alan, no, to be precise, it should be Mikasa who arrived in time to scare the three people away and rescued him. over him.

"Damn it, I just want to go outside, why do people look down upon me!" Alan picked up a stone and threw it fiercely at the water in front of him.He is dissatisfied with the current satisfaction of living within the walls and the rejection of those who dream of going out.

"That's because." Ermin replied: "Because people have lived peacefully inside the wall for 100 years. In order to prevent people from going out at will and causing giants to enter the wall, according to the policy of the royal government, they are tolerant of the outside world." Interest in itself is forbidden."

Ermin's expression was very calm, and his words were very organized. It was hard to imagine that this analysis came from a child who had just turned ten years old.

Yes, Ermin is indeed physically weak, but he has a bright mind.

"Our life is our own, what does it have to do with them?!" Alan sneered at the policy of the royal government.

"Absolutely not." A calm but emotional female voice sounded, and Mikasa retorted Alan's words: "No."

"By the way, speaking of it, you actually told your parents!!!." Suddenly remembering that Mikasa had told her parents directly that she wanted to join the Survey Corps, Allen said that there was a traitor among us.

"I don't remember ever saying to help you keep it a secret." Her voice was still calm.

"Well, then what?!" Ermin was a little excited.

"Of course. You won't be happy." Allen's mood seemed a little depressed. After all, it would be uncomfortable for anyone to be so fiercely opposed to his dream by his mother.

"Is that so?" Elmin felt a little disappointed in her heart.

The wind seems to be getting stronger.

The dust was rolled up, and the fallen leaves accumulated on the ground that had not been cleaned in time were blown away, and the wind chimes hanging in front of the window blew.

"Ringling, ringing, ringing" the sound of the wind chime is very crisp and ethereal, like a clear spring flowing from a deep mountain, very clear, shallow and beautiful.

However, the sound of the wind chime did not relax people at this time.

The air is heavy.

Several domestic dogs barked desperately, even people whose senses have long since degenerated felt a little dignified.

Maybe it's the so-called sixth sense, but it's more likely to be the premonition of danger, and everyone turns their eyes to the sky.

The clouds, which were dyed slightly orange by the setting sun, flowed and rotated rapidly, and finally formed concentric circles that were not complete.

Elmin was still talking, looking at the sparkling and undulating water with light blue eyes: "Indeed, I can't agree with those who firmly believe that as long as you live in the giant wall, you are absolutely safe, even if the giant wall is 100 The fact that the year was not destroyed does not mean that it will not be destroyed today."

Then, the wind died down.

The young woman who was holding her scarf with her hand to prevent it from being blown away by the wind also let go of her callused hands from long-term housework.

The wind chimes stopped ringing, and the dust and fallen leaves were also mixed together and accumulated on the ground.

The next second, the mutation suddenly occurred.

The golden flash slammed down from the center of the concentric circles formed by the flowing clouds, and hit the ground hard!

The light that was supposed to be weightless now shocked the world like a gigantic titan in the legend!

The plaques of the merchants were shaken off, and the children were bounced into the air and then fell down again. In the air, there was a buzzing sound similar to that of a large steel plate being smashed violently.

People are a little terrified and a little stunned. They don't know what happened. Human beings are always afraid of the unknown.

However, the truth often does not relieve people's fears, but sometimes brings deeper despair.

Where the flash fell, a cloud of steam rose.Then, the red huge hands put on the 50-meter-high huge wall, and grabbed it hard!Rubble fell from the top of the wall.

Then, there was a shadow cast over the city, growing bigger and bigger.
"How is it possible, that city wall is 50 meters high!!" Unbelievable, Ermin's voice trembled.

Because he saw the owner of that shadow and those hands—a giant! !

Giants are indeed huge, but only three to 15 meters have been found so far, and no giants taller than 50 meters have ever been found or even heard of!
But this giant is so huge, it is even a head taller than the 50-meter city wall!

At least, it's 60 meters.

It has no skin or hair on its face, and its bright red muscles and bones are directly exposed, and its whole body is surrounded by steam.

Tilt your head forward slightly, lift your right foot back, and kick it down!
"Boom!!" The wind blows away the chattering and spanking men near the city wall, blows away the young woman holding the child, and destroys one building after another. The glass shatters and wails resound everywhere, once resounding throughout the city to remind people The giant bell of the Survey Corps, which was about to return, was also smashed down from the high bell tower.

Numerous boulders were also smashed radially.
In the Shiganshina district, the city wall was broken.

It seems that the super giant appeared just to destroy the city, and when the city was broken, it disappeared without a trace.

"It's them! It's the giants!! The giants have entered the city!!!" There was a terribly miserable howl, and then, the sound stopped abruptly, leaving only wailing. One by one, a human being was caught by the giant, or crushed to death It was directly sent into the mouth, and the blood flowed from the giant's hands and mouth, dyeing them into devils one by one.

"Let's run away too! Alan!?" Ai Ermin shouted in panic, but Alan's performance made him even more surprised.

"Over there, there is my home, and my mother." Looking at the direction where the stone was thrown, Allen looked dull, and ran towards his home against the flow of fleeing people without thinking.

Without saying anything, Mikasa followed without hesitation.

"Mikasa!" Ermin stretched out her hand, wanting to stop it, or also wanting to follow, but her body couldn't stop trembling: "It's already, it can't be done, this city will be occupied by countless giants!!"

"Impossible, it is impossible for my house to be hit." Alan prayed silently in his heart.

Along the way, he collided with fleeing people and witnessed a desperately crying mother kneeling beside a bloody child who had been hit by a boulder.

He didn't want his own mother to die under the rock.
Turning the corner is home, and then, there are only ruins in front of you.
"Mom! Mom!!" With a helpless expression on his face, Alan rushed forward
Fortunately or unfortunately, his mother, Karla Yeager, was still alive, but this gentle young woman was tightly pressed under the collapsed house, with only her head and half of her upper body exposed.

"Mikasa, hold over there, let's move the pillar away together." Allen directed the girl beside him. At this time, all he had in his mind was to rescue his mother, and he had no other thoughts.

"Okay." Mikasa's answer was very concise and straightforward.

But no matter how mature their minds are, the two of them are still just children. The collapsed house is too heavy for them. No matter how hard they try, the ruins pressing Karla still remain motionless.

then
"Boom, boom, boom" the sound of heavy footsteps sounded like the drumbeat of death.

A giant has already noticed them, and with the corners of its mouth turned up, it is approaching them step by step
"Hurry up!! Mikasa!!!" With a panicked expression and a trembling voice, Alan still tried hard to rescue his mother.

"it is good."

Seemingly aware of something, Karla woke up with scars on his face, and said hoarsely: "The giant has come in?! Allen, take Mikasa and escape!"

"I want to escape too! So come out quickly!!" Allen closed his eyes and tugged hard, crying, begging, because of excessive force and friction on the rough ruins, his hands were bleeding. , but he is still trying hard, and harder.

"Mom's legs have been crushed, and she can't run even if she comes out, do you understand?" Carla was desperate, her eyes widened, but she persuaded Allen and Mikasa to give up herself in a gentle tone, At least, let the two kids run away.

"I'll run behind your back!!!" With tears streaming down his face, Alan shouted in a tone almost roaring.

"Why don't you always listen to your mother! At least you have to listen to it for the last time! Mikasa!" She wanted Mikasa to take Alan away.

And Mikasa's eyebrows were trembling: "No! Don't!!" After finally having a warm home, she didn't want to give up just like that.

"If this goes on, all three will be able to do it." She was helpless now, but suddenly she heard the sound of steel cables rubbing, and a man descended from the sky: "Mr. Hannes, please take the children and go!"

Karla begged.

"Don't underestimate me, Karla." The garrison soldier Hannes who often drank had a reluctant smile on his face: "As long as I kill that giant, all three of them can be saved!"

With that, he drew his knife and ran towards the giant—even though Karla's voice behind him begged not to fight.

It was easy to save the two children, but Hannes wanted to repay Mr. Yeager's kindness even more, so he wanted to fight!
Unfortunately, he overestimated himself too much.

When he saw the gigantic body of the giant, the weird and emotionless smiling face instantly covered his back with cold sweat, his expression was stiff, and he felt that he was almost dead, the heavy feeling of being targeted by natural enemies froze the air around him , broke his heart even more.

Withdraw the sword, turn around, and run away.

Hannes hugged Alan and Mikasa expressionlessly, regardless of the struggle and shouting of the two children.

"No, mom, mom hasn't come out yet!!" Allen kept beating Hannes, yelling in despair.

"Alan, Mikasa, live well!" In the ruins, Karl stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to keep the last figure of the child, and expressed his last blessing as a mother.

Then, tears gushed out like a flood, she covered her face and sobbed softly: "Don't go."

Ellen saw his mother crying, saw the giant coming, saw the giant flipping up the ruins that he and Mikasa tried their best to shake, and saw his mother being held by the giant.
"Stop!!" A little bit of tears fell on Alan as he was being led away by Hannes.

The giant didn't care about Karla's hard beating and struggling. He put his right hand on it, grabbed Karla's upper body, and was about to tear it apart!
Allen's eyes were dull, almost desperate.

At this very moment, the world seems to stand still.

Allen blinked, saw the blood blooming, saw the migratory birds in the sky vibrating their wings, saw the dark green cloak flying in the air and hunting in the wind, and the white and blue on the cloak. Stacked free wings.

"Courage and strength." The man looked at Alan and Hannes.

"The two of you happen to have one of them each." Allen saw the man who was only a teenager in front of him save his mother, and his long hair was loose like ink-colored satin.

Although the words were not polite, Allen inexplicably felt that this was the best voice he had ever heard.
