Chapter 553
By the time Kaneki and Frida found the survivors, they had already been slaughtered by the giants, and the hundreds of people who survived were in danger.
Fortunately, Kaneki and Frida arrived in time to save them, otherwise they would have died in the mouth of the giants.
Among the survivors, there are many people from the inner city, and although there are not many people who have seen Frida, everyone knows about this former princess with a good reputation.
Yes, Frida's presence instantly calmed down their originally apprehensive hearts.
Frida knew a little about the expectations of the survivors, but now that she was a dead person, what could she do for them?
Privately, she approached Kaneki and asked what to do with the matter, and it was clear that it was impossible to place these civilians here, after all, the walls were full of giants.
"This is a problem, these people are already dead inside the wall, just like you, if you go back, it will inevitably cause panic, and if the truth about the 300,000 troops is revealed, I am afraid that the entire wall will fall into chaos." Kaneki frowned and sighed slowly.
Frida's expression was gloomy and angry, "300,000 people, just gone, I don't understand how they can ignore life to such an extent..."
"Obviously, among the many strategies, they chose the quickest and most conservative way, and at the same time, they had the most helplessness and had to do so." Kaneki had an insight into the whole story of this matter almost instantly, unlike a martial arts clone like Mitsutomi, although the scheming methods he inherited from the ontology could not compare to the ontology, it was not comparable to ordinary people.
"Even if they are helpless, can't they really afford to wait at all?" Frida, a kind-hearted person who never gets angry, because this incident can be described as extremely disgusted with the ruling class in the past, but she forgets that she was once one of them, but she is no longer as innocent as she used to be, and the experience accumulated from traveling with Kaneki can be said to be the sum of her birth to this year.
"It's already happened, even if you complain, it's useless, the blind should solve their resettlement first, if it is feasible, I want to retake the Higanshina district and build an underground city there that is not encroached upon by giants." Kaneki thought of this method just now, and now that he can't live on the ground, then he can live underground, no matter how powerful the giant is, he won't be able to burrow into the ground, right?
Frida's eyes lit up when she heard this, "You mean, connect those basements in Higanshina?" ”
In the end, it is not the innocent princess of the past, Jin Mu will realize it as soon as she says it, many people in the world inside the wall have the habit of building basements, that is because the land space is very small, and it can only be used for limited use, after all, the basement can store a lot of things and save a lot of space.
Kaneki's approach is to connect these basements into a whole, turning this area into an underground city, even if the giants come, they are not afraid, and there is a large amount of food in the area that has not had time to be harvested, but now it is just the right time to use, and once the legion takes back the Maria Wall and repairs it, then these people can naturally come out of the underground, which is indeed a way to kill two birds with one stone.
If you want to do it, you can do it, gather the survivors to speak their minds, and Frida will guide everyone, and the results are naturally feasible, although he hesitates whether he will encounter giants on the way, but the force shown by Kaneki is quite reassuring.
Returning to his hometown, which had long been in ruins under the ravages of giants, and there was not much time left for everyone to sigh, Kaneki organized everyone in an orderly manner to start underground communication operations, and also sent the soldiers of the surviving garrison corps to look for survivors everywhere.
After all, 300,000 people, even if they stand still and kill the giants, they will have to kill for a long time, not to mention that they are not fools, how can they stand still and do not move, the survivors will inevitably scatter.
Progress has been made in the ongoing underground connectivity and search for survivors in the Higanshina district.
The underground space is enough to accommodate thousands or even tens of thousands of people, and the harvested food is enough for 100,000 people to support at least a year, while the number of survivors has reached 5,000 one after another, and the number is steadily rising.
In this process, occasionally some sporadic giants attacked, and were also killed by Jin Mu, for a while, this place has become the last paradise for the survivors, and as the former princess who guides everyone, no one will question why she is still alive, after all, in such a situation, there is someone who can guide everyone to survive, what is there to hope for?
In the eyes of these people, Frida became their God and their faith, bringing them rebirth and hope.
In a flash, it was three years, and the Shiganshina district, which looked like a ruin on the surface, was reborn underground.
During these three years, the underground connection became an underground city, where tens of thousands of people lived in the former people of the Hikanshina district in an alternative way to their homeland.
The soldiers of the old garrison had long since torn off their badges representing the garrison, and they swore allegiance to the princess Frida, who knew very well who had led them to survive and given them the most longed-for hope in their most desperate moments.
Unknowingly, Frida had to accept the allegiance of tens of thousands of people, even if she didn't want to.
Although they are still Eldians, they have nothing to do with those within the walls, and belong to all the people of Frida.
Faced with such a situation, Frida was both happy and sad, happy that she had saved so many people that they would no longer be bothered by the suffering of giants. Worryingly, she has unknowingly stood on the opposite side of the Reis family.
Because now, even if she didn't do anything deliberately, she was already splitting the regime of Eldia.
Frida has no desire for power, even if she is a royal daughter, she would rather be an ordinary person than such a life, but now, she has to make a choice.
Especially after seeing the life of the Eldians outside and the things inside the walls.
Kaneki was very sensitive to find that Frida was a little uneasy recently, when she asked at first, she was reluctant to answer, and then when she was asked, she also talked about him left and right, but how could he not guess her concerns and hesitations if he was as smart? He didn't think the same as Frida thought.
Frida has no desire for power, but there is no better place to be the leader of Eldia now.
It's not Frida's identity or anything else, it's her personality and her own charisma that attracts everyone.
As it is now, many people may think that it is because Kaneki's force protects everyone that they obey Frida's orders.
But if it weren't for Frida being here and rallying everyone's hearts, I'm afraid they wouldn't have chosen to settle down, so to a large extent, they came for Frida.
Moreover, whether Frida wants it or not, the current Eldia has gone to a split, and the old days must be ended before they can usher in a new life, which is the most profound experience of Kaneki and Frida when they came into contact with the Eldian revivalists.
The Higanshina district has been the territory of giants for a long time, and most of the residents have gone underground, and of course there is no fortification for the outside world, although it is not as exaggerated as ten steps and one sentry, five steps and one post, but the corner tower responsible for detecting the situation in all directions has long been set up, the purpose is to facilitate the detection of the movements of distant giants.
In fact, Kaneki was able to sweep away the giants in the walls of Mary, but he blocked the gaps in the walls of Mary, but he did not do so, and his purpose was divided into several aspects.
First, in military training, it is impossible for him to protect this group of people all the time, so it is necessary to train a group of elite troops that are enough to protect everyone.
Second, cut off all the information of the world inside the wall to Maria's walls, so that the walls are in a constant state of crisis, so that they can return to the walls in the future and seize the power of Eldia for Frida.
There is another reason, that is, these guys live too comfortably, and they typically belong to the scar and forget the pain.
For three years, I am afraid that many people have not remembered how the Marian Wall was breached, they do not have such a sense of urgency of the end of the world, they do not have the feeling of treating each day as the last day, they are not cohesive, they are not united, and they still think about fighting in the nest at the most critical moment, which is simply gathering the inferior nature of all human beings.
Standing on top of the corner tower, Kaneki stared at the Rossi Wall looming in the distance, his expression deep.
Probably, those ones have already arrived!
"In three years, you have grown from a child who doesn't know anything to a training soldier today, ask yourself, are you ready to give your heart?!"
With the instructor of the training corps, Keith Shadis, with a black face, the boys and girls standing in front of him responded silently with the gesture of sacrificing their hearts.
Seeing this scene, Shadis nodded in satisfaction, but when he noticed one of them, his expression immediately changed.
Seeing the instructor pacing in front of her, Sasha Blaus, a girl with a pineapple head, swallowed nervously, knowing that there was still a little food crumbs on her mouth that had not been wiped clean, but presumably the instructor would not say anything, right?
Probably...
"Trainer, what's on your lips?" With a grim face, Shadis pointed to the crumbs of food at the corner of Sasha's mouth.
Hearing this, Sasha immediately straightened his chest, did not squint, and said seriously, "It's a white potato!" Instructor! ”
Xiadis was stunned, and his face darkened a little.
Sasha began to explain self-righteously, "Because I didn't finish it yesterday, I was afraid of wasting it, so I took it out, and if you're hungry, I can give you a little, at most... Half okay? ”
With that, she took out the white potato from her back with a painful face, broke it in half and handed it to Shadis in half.
Seeing this scene, Shadis was completely stunned, maybe this was the first time he had encountered such a strange trainer since he had trained so many training soldiers, right?
When Sasha finally understood why what she thought was the right thing to do was met with the mocking and pitiful eyes of her peers, she ran on the playground exhausted.
Leaning on the railing of the dormitory, Allen, who had faded from his youth, sighed helplessly, "This guy really doesn't understand what it means to be a disaster." ”
"Her approach is indeed easy for people to misunderstand whether her brain circuits are different from ordinary people." A familiar trainer nodded approvingly.
The others either did not speak, or waited and watched.
At this moment, a girl with soft blond hair and a delicate and lovely appearance walked up to Sasha, who had fallen on the side of the road, and handed a piece of bread.
Smelling the aroma of food, Sasha instantly revived with full blood, took a bite on the bread, and devoured it, "Ah, I almost thought I was going to starve to death, thank you so much..."
The blonde girl smiled and didn't speak, and neither did the tall woman guarding behind her, but her brows furrowed, obviously not quite understanding what the girl was doing.
After the two of them left not far away, the tall woman immediately said, "Khrista, you are too kind-hearted, you must know that it is your food, she has eaten it, what do you eat?" ”
In the face of his companion's inquiry, Hrista smiled softly and said in that half-joking tone, "I just feel that I have been a little fat recently, so I plan to lose weight." ”
The tall woman sighed helplessly when she heard this, it is almost the same as being used to deceive children, and the appearance of Hrista looks like the kind of person who will fall down when the wind blows, where do you need to lose any fat?
To put it bluntly, she is still too kind, such a character is certainly loved, but it also means that it is easy to be deceived, and the tall woman does not want to see such a situation happen, but she also knows that she will not be able to persuade Herista.
Thinking back to that time, it was also the girl in front of her who reached out and took in her helpless self, if it weren't for this, she was still wandering around outside, and it was this kind of Hrista that would make her guard willingly, right?
Shortly after the two of them left, a passerby-faced trainer appeared in the shadows, who took it all in his eyes and then silently wrote it down, and a moment later a white dove flew up into the sky and circled before heading off into the distance.
This scene did not attract anyone's attention in the slightest, after all, no one would think that there was anything wrong with this pigeon.
As the training period of the training corps is coming to an end, the young girls who are the source of the soldiers have to undergo the final test, and once the test is passed, they will become official soldiers, and the top ten trainees can choose which corps to enter at will.
Of course, the corps that most people want to go to is neither a survey corps nor a garrison corps, but a gendarmerie corps that lives within the walls and does not need to worry about encountering giants and can live in peace, and only a few people will choose to enter the survey corps with a very high mortality rate, such as Eren and Mikasa, who are bent on retaking their homeland.
