accompany endlessly

Missing at that time, but none of us witnessed them being killed by Zoya. "

"The situation on the battlefield is too chaotic to rule out that they were accidentally involved in the mutation."

"Please use what I said as a reference."

……

"Okay, then I will add." The head of the gendarmerie also raised his hand.

"Reiner Brown is Zoya's contemporaneous student in the training regiment. They have a good relationship in private. Please take this into consideration."

"In addition, not only this incident, Zoya's aggressiveness had a criminal record a year ago. At that time, she attacked noble members of the royal family." (Chapter 1)

……

"Damn it! They actually have the face to say this!" Han Ji had already gritted his teeth. One year ago, Baron Philip brought Zoya home to try to belittle her before he was attacked!

"Cut." Levi's eyes became sharper with the memories.

"Because there were no serious consequences, the members of the nobility at that time did not directly sanction her! But this is enough to prove that this person's mood and state are very unstable, and he is a major threat to mankind!"

Zoya stood there like a statue that had experienced vicissitudes of life, crumbling under the attack of words, and she no longer made any arguments.Afterwards, Zoya recalled the situation at that time. She said that those people could not listen to anything at that time, and any more excuses would only attract more dirty attacks.

People were talking about it in private, and a fat man from the chamber of commerce said with a sneer, "If she has something to do with nobles, maybe she's still a bitch."

"Shut your mouth, pig." In front of everyone, Levi ordered the fat man to shut up in an unusually cold tone.

"Your heart is as disgusting as the fat on your body."

……

At this time, Captain Erwin saw the opportunity and took a step forward, his thick voice echoed in the hall.

"Now it's up to me, the head of the Survey Corps, Alvin Smith, to announce the plan."

"Before that, I would like to say that there is no witness to witness whether Zoya is aggressive towards humans, but in this battle, it is an indisputable fact that Zoya used her body to cover most of the elite members of the garrison corps , Judging from the actual results, we have greatly reduced the casualties of the elite troops and preserved precious combat power for mankind."

"Isn't it?" Captain Alvin looked sideways at the jury.

"The elite squad leaders of the garrison corps, Ian, Lico, and Mitabi, would you still be standing here without Zoya's cover?"

After these words, Mikasa, who was also present, narrowed her eyes. She remembered the situation at that time. Ian was caught by the giant in order to rescue other soldiers, and even sent it to his mouth. The giant's teeth were on his neck. And Mitabi was almost trampled to death by the giants. It was at the critical moment of life and death that the giants stopped attacking humans and turned to Zoya one after another...

The members of the garrison corps standing on the jury stand stood at attention at the same time, and the tall, blond man in the center said righteously: "I, Ian Dieter, the squad leader of the elite squad of the garrison corps, swears in the name of guarding the roses, when Zoya *Andreevna* Balalaika's assistance bought precious time for a large number of soldiers to survive.

"As the squad leader, on behalf of the soldiers who survived, I would like to express my gratitude to you."

There is nothing more difficult than surviving.

31 Choosing and Being Chosen

"As the squad leader of the elite squad of the Garrison Corps, on behalf of the soldiers who survived, I would like to express my gratitude to you."

Zoya stared blankly at this scene, and the elite class of the Garrison Corps collectively bowed to her like this. Some of them were covered with bandages, and some of them would even be left with permanent scars and disabilities, but they all stood alive. over there!For those who have narrowly escaped death, there is nothing greater than being alive.

Zoya stared at the soldiers stationed in the corps in disbelief. Some of these people may have met once during the training of the corps, and some of them did not know each other at all. Express thankfulness.

Just now she didn't shed tears when she was mercilessly accused, splashed with dirty water, and insulted, but now her tears are like a broken water pipe, and the teardrops hang all over her cheeks.

Captain Erwin's voice sounded again: "Zoya Andreevna Balalaika will also be attacked by giants, even more violently. On the issue of giants, she belongs to the same camp as us."

……

The partners of these survey corps, as well as the comrades who have fought against the giant together, whether it is Captain Erwin, Captain Levi, or these people are doing their best to protect her.Zoya seems to understand the meaning of Captain Erwin's emphasis on a camp, and the common enemy is the key to unite everyone.

"I want to say!" Zoya suddenly announced loudly, she seemed full of confidence.

"I am human just like you!"

"It is now! It will be in the future!"

This statement of identity is Zoya's first time since the mutation. As the sound waves of this sentence spread to the audience and everyone's ears, Zoya has already taken a step on the path of chaotic choices. a crucial step.

……

"nonsense!"

"She lied!"

"She's not human!"

Facing the person who tried to interrupt, Levi asked coldly: "Then how do you define human beings?"

"Only people like you can be called human beings? Those residents who suffer from hunger because of insufficient land, they are also very different from you, are they also human beings?"

"You..." Facing Levi's expressionless retort, the man who interrupted took a few steps back in despair.

Bah!

Commander Darius Thackeray patted the table again to signal silence, his face was still so majestic, and he didn't show favoritism to any side.

"Captain Erwin, your report said that Zoya and we are in the same camp. Do you have any explanation?"

Looking directly at Zoya, Captain Erwin said in a gentle tone: "Humans have gradually accepted the existence of giants in their concepts. Until now, we have not only accepted the fact that giants exist, but also classified giants. We classify giants other than giants as alien species, and there may be more detailed divisions in the future, and people also recognize the existence of this fact.

"Similarly, Zoya has human characteristics and will be attacked by giants. The only difference is that she has abilities beyond the scope of human understanding. Can we classify Zoya as a [alien species] among humans?"

"Ah? What did you say?"

"Among humans—alien species?"

"Humans? Alien species?"

"You mean she is still in the human category?"

……

The crowd listening all around fell into chaos again, they looked at each other and thought carefully about Erwin's words.

Han Ji and San Mao observed the reaction of the group of people in the hall on the second floor. San Mao rubbed the beard on his chin, and Han Ji folded his arms carefully thinking about the words of the head of the group.Facing Sanmao, Han Ji whispered: "I think the so-called [human alien species] is just a trick to comfort the public's psychology. This statement is just to make Zoya sound more acceptable, and it is to leave her a way out excuse.

"Let's see how she cooperates."

Before the two sides of the corps expressed their opinions, Zoya bit her lips hard when the crowd was a little shaken. Blood flowed from her mouth, mixed with saliva, and dripped across her chin, dripping on her chest. superior.

"Ugh-"

"I..." She spoke intermittently in pain, with big tears streaming down her face.

"I'm... same as you..."

"It will bleed..."

"I will cry too..."

"I—is a companion—"

……

Really, there was blood gushing from the wound, flesh and blood, tears...

Compared with Allen's wild and intense emotions, the girl in front of her looks more like a human being.

"Wait!" The head of the gendarmerie reminded loudly, "Two corpses were found in her mutant!"

"There will be many accidents in the battle, and there are no witnesses to prove how those two people entered Zoya's mutant." Levi stared at the head of the Gendarmerie.

"Only those who have participated in the battle will know how chaotic the situation was."

Levi turned to the jury: "There is also the matter of the nobles, does he mind if you shake up all the things at that time today?"

"This..." The head of the Gendarmerie regiment silently shut up when he saw the signal in the eyes of the bystanders in the noble seats.

"Okay, that's it." Commander Thackeray picked up the document.

"Survey Corps, how do you plan to organize Zoya."

Captain Erwin's eyes are always facing forward, as if he can see the future of mankind, and said: "At this stage, all plans are aimed at closing the gap in the Wall of Mary as the ultimate goal."

"It has been shown in existing reports that Zoya Andreevna Balalaika also has the ability to destroy giants, and has a more acute relationship with giant hunting. In the strategy of blocking the wall of Maria, We can adopt the Rose Wall strategy to buy time for Allen, reduce casualties, and increase the probability of success."

"The enemy of mankind is a giant. On this basis, all possibilities that are beneficial to the victory of mankind are worth trying. Alan is one of them, and Zoya is also one of them."

Captain Erwin paused for a while when he said this, he took a deep breath, and emphasized his tone: "Both Zoya and Allen will participate in the investigation of the outer wall, and judge the value based on actual data."

"The above is the plan report of the Survey Corps."

bah—

"Well, the conclusion has been drawn."
