Chapter 410: A giant inside the high walls?
"I didn't say there was a giant inside the wall. It was just a guess. It could be a coincidence." Wu Guang seemed to be recalling a memory, his eyes gradually moving upwards.
"Five years ago, when Wall Maria was damaged, I have been wondering why the wall could not be repaired, but instead 200,000 people were sent to die. Of course, the existence of the giants made this schedule difficult to implement.
But...if, at night, we transport materials in batches, then climb up the city wall, settle down on Wall Maria, and then gradually fill the holes in the city wall at night every day, although this is a long and boring operation.
There is also the possibility of another surprise attack from the Colossal Titan and the Armored Titan, but it is better than sending 200,000 people to their deaths, right? "
When Wu Guang said this, his eyes were filled with sadness and incomprehension.
"Then one day when I was wandering around the town, I found a man who was trying to dig down and through the city wall."
Having said this, Wu Guang paused, his eyes gradually focused, and he looked at everyone present.
"Guess what happened in the end?"
Hanji thought for a moment, then answered, "He was discovered by the garrison troops and arrested?"
Wu Guang shook his head.
"Did he dig down and find giants inside the wall?" said another woman, Petra.
Wu Guang continued to shake his head.
"Kid, just say what you want to say instead of wasting time." Oluo was very annoyed by Wu Guang's keeping him in suspense. His interest had been piqued at this moment, but Wu Guang remained silent.
Wu Guang sighed, "He dug three or four meters down and found that the wall was still extending. He told this story in the refugee camp, and I took a look that day. As a result, the next day, he disappeared, and the hole he mentioned was filled up. There was an unknown person standing there. Although he seemed to be enjoying the cool air, he was observing everyone who passed by. This lasted for a month."
"?"
"You mean...someone inside the wall already knew it was a giant, so someone killed them to silence them?" Elder asked doubtfully, but then he proposed a different point of view: "No, it's forbidden to destroy the wall, so it's normal to be caught. After all, the Maria Wall had just been broken, so it's understandable that they acted a little too radically."
The others looked at each other and nodded.
Indeed, when Wall Maria was just broken, some people tried to destroy the wall, which was obviously a serious crime and they could even be executed on the spot.
"Yeah, I had the same idea as you did at the time, but now let's look at it the other way around. Wouldn't it be better to just say that someone tried to destroy the wall? This can also serve as a warning to others. After all, the wall is there to protect humans. If someone tries to destroy it, it's an anti-human act, so there's nothing wrong with just executing them."
"But why... didn't they announce it? Then several of the uncle's close friends also disappeared one after another. I know one of them. He even tried to dissuade the uncle from digging, but he also disappeared."
"why?"
Wu Guang asked a counter-question.
The others were silent now.
After all, they couldn't find a good reason.
If they were looking for a missing uncle and then had a quarrel with the people stationed in the corps, they would think it was normal. After all, if a person disappeared for no reason, this would definitely require feedback.
But in the end, this group of people disappeared for no reason before they could cause any trouble. What was going on?
"But this doesn't prove that there is a problem inside the wall. After all, extremists do exist, and many people lost their families because the wall was broken. Maybe they saw someone destroying the wall and got angry, so they took action?" Oluo gave an explanation that was not really an explanation.
Wu Guang looked at the other person with something strange in his eyes.
"Yes, you are right. Maybe someone was angry and killed the uncle and all his friends." Wu Guang admitted it.
Oruo was speechless for a moment. After all, he really wanted to refute Wu Guang's words, and because he didn't dare to imagine that there really was a giant in the wall, he was just refutating for the sake of refutation.
However, Wu Guang's sudden obedience made him stunned for a moment. He swallowed the rebuttal that was about to come out of his mouth, and he felt so uncomfortable.
The others were all lost in thought.
"That's not right. Most of the giants are only about fifteen meters tall, and the wall is fifty meters high. Could it be that the giants inside are stacked higher?" Hanji discovered a blind spot. After all, according to Wu Guang's statement, the wall was made up of giants, so their height didn't match at all, right?
At once, a picture appeared in everyone's mind.
The image of two fifteen-meter-tall giants stacked high up is inexplicably funny.
"Who stipulated that the upper limit of the giant's height is only fifteen meters? Didn't the giant who kicked the city wall surpass the city wall? If it was even a little higher, it might have crossed the city wall." Wu Guang responded with a smile.
He also thought about the fifteen-meter giants stacked high, which was quite weird.
Everyone present looked at each other in bewilderment. Although what Wu Guang said made sense, ever since Captain Hanji said that the giants were stacked high, the fear and sense of absurdity in their hearts had actually diminished a lot.
Yes, the city wall is fifty meters long. How can there be a fifty-meter giant?
If there were, humans would have been extinct countless times already.
Everyone felt relieved when thinking about this, and thought that Wu Guang was just guessing and fantasizing.
Hanji seemed to be thinking about something. Yes, if giants that tall can appear, then there is no reason why fifteen meters should be the maximum. But... it feels weird there, as if something is missing.
"You can discuss the matter of the wall later. It's not important now. What's important is, Wu Guang, according to your opinion, what should we do if the Colossal Titan and the Armored Titan appear to capture Eren? After all, no matter whether the Titan comes from outside the wall or inside the wall, we have to face it."
Wu Guang spread his hands.
"Kill them if they show up. If you can't beat them, just run away with Alan. If that doesn't work, we can only see if Alan can transform and defeat the two giants."
Wu Guang said it casually, but in fact, this is indeed the way to deal with the two giants. At least Wu Guang couldn't come up with more ways.
After all, with Wu Guang's current knowledge, he can only say these words. If he says more, it will arouse suspicion.
Levi's eyes flickered slightly.
"It's as if you didn't say anything. We don't know about this yet?" Oluo rolled his eyes.
Wu Guang spread his hands and said, "I just arrived today, and I don't even know your formation. Even if you tell me now, I will choose not to listen. After all, I don't want to be the object of suspicion."
Everyone in Levi's squad was stunned for a moment, then looked at the captain thoughtfully.
