After Allen heard Yang Pan's somewhat profound words, he looked at him strangely and asked in a confused tone, "Uncle, what did you say?"

"Ha, ha, I'm just kidding, don't worry." Yang Pan patted Allen on the shoulder and said with a smile.

Seeing what Yang Pan said, the simple-minded Allen did not doubt it, but showed some dissatisfaction. On the contrary, Mikasa, who had always said very little, looked at the location in the basement, then at Allen, and finally turned her attention to

Yang Pan looked at him deeply.

She always felt that the uncle in front of her, who made her feel a little kind, had something deeper to say than what he just said, and it was not a joke like what he said.

But at this moment, a bell suddenly sounded outside the house, followed by a noise. Although Yang Pan didn't know what happened, the words "come back", "investigation", and "casualties" were faintly heard from somewhere.

Similar words, he also guessed what was going on.

It seems that the survey team that went to investigate beyond the giant wall has returned.

After Allen heard the bell, he said excitedly, "The door is open, the Survey Corps is back." After saying that, he ran out of the house, and Mikasa on the side saw this and quickly followed him.

Yang Pan was the only one left in the whole room.

"It looks like the Survey Corps is back. It seems that there is indeed such a thing." Yang Pan said to himself, then drank all the water in the cup and walked out, preparing to follow.

Go and join in the fun.

Not far from Allen's home, Yang Pan relied on his excellent eyesight to see the gate of the Wengcheng in Xiganxina District slowly rising, and a group of people slowly entered the giant wall and walked on the street, and on both sides of the street

A bustling crowd gradually gathered.

Judging from their attire, these people who returned from outside the giant wall must be members of the Survey Corps.

However, although Yang Pan was far away from there at this time, he could still feel that the morale of the members of the Survey Corps was very low, just like soldiers who had lost a battle.

After watching for a while, Yang Pan began to look around, and after confirming the positions of Allen and Mikasa, he also started to follow them.

When Yang Pan followed Allen and Mikasa to the street where the Survey Corps passed when they returned, he immediately heard whispers from time to time among the surrounding crowd.

"Why are there only so many people back?"

"They were probably all eaten by giants."

"This is what happens when you run outside the wall for nothing."

...

Listening to the discussion of the crowd around him, Yang Pan raised his eyebrows, and then with his height advantage, he stood directly outside the crowd and looked at the group of people in the middle of the street.

Judging from the Wings of Freedom logo on that group of people, they are indeed members of the Survey Corps, but

At this time, their morale and condition were extremely poor.

Whether they were riding horses, walking, or lying in cars, everyone in the team either had their heads drooped or covered their faces with cloaks.

There were more or less blood stains on their bodies, nearly half of them were still wearing bandages, and even the bodies of those lying on the carriage were basically mutilated.

The low morale and the large number of injured made the entire team look very miserable, even a little shocking.

After watching for a while, Yang Pan shook his head slightly, then turned to look at Allen and Mikasa who were standing on the box nearby and looking into the crowd.

But at this moment, Eren's eyes were wide open and his mouth was slightly open, looking very surprised, while Mikasa's expression was very calm.

Just when Yang Pan thought it was not interesting here and was about to go back to Allen's house, an old lady suddenly rushed out of the crowd, calling someone's name and blocking the way of the advancing survey corps, while the surrounding comments

The sound gradually disappeared at this time.

After the old woman exchanged a few words with a middle-aged man from the Survey Corps, the middle-aged man said something, and then saw another member of the Survey Corps taking out a bloody item from the carriage behind him.

The long object wrapped in white cloth was handed to the old woman.

The old woman took the object handed over with a dull expression. After a slight pause, the old woman untied the white cloth wrapping the object in her hand in a panic. After seeing the object wrapped in the white cloth, the old woman suddenly knelt down.

On the ground, he burst into tears.

The sharp-eyed Yang Pan saw the items wrapped in the white cloth the moment the old woman opened the package, a severed hand stained with blood.

He shook his head again. The scene in front of him touched Yang Pan a little. He felt that he didn't want to continue watching the fun here.

Without caring about the subsequent development of the matter, Yang Pan turned away and walked into the alley next to him. When no one was around, he took out his concentration pipe, lit it and stuffed it into his mouth.

As the smoke lingered, Yang Pan lowered his head and leaned against the wall, looking thoughtful.

Although Yang Pan has completed several space missions and can be considered to have experienced life and death, in the final analysis, the time he spent entering infinite space was still a bit short.

Although his mentality has changed, he was born in a harmonious society after all, so the somewhat cruel reality of the Attack on Titan world still touched him a little.

After blowing out the smoke in his mouth, Yang Pan knocked the ashes from his pipe towards the corner, and then said with a self-deprecating tone, "I'm still too young after all."

At this moment, Yang Pan suddenly saw Mikasa pulling Eren's clothes with one hand and pulling him into the alley, and behind them was a cursing, bald old Mediterranean man.

"Well, uncle, why are you here?

?" Mikasa asked subconsciously when she saw Yang Pan.

Yang Pan raised the dark green concentration pipe in his hand, and then walked towards the old man following them.

Seeing the tall Yang Pan walking over, the other party stopped and subconsciously wanted to say something, but Yang Pan was too lazy to listen to what he had to say and directly grabbed the opponent's head and pushed it directly

Thrown out of the alley.

After doing all this, Yang Pan clapped his hands nonchalantly, then turned to look at Mikasa and Allen, who was dragging her clothes.

"What's wrong, Allen, are you causing trouble for Mikasa again?" Yang Pan asked.

"It's that person just now. He said that the Survey Corps went out to deliver rations to the giants. How could he say that?" Before Mikasa could answer, Allen said excitedly.

Yang Pan patted Allen's head and didn't say anything. Although he knew the real side of the world, he couldn't say it, or he didn't know whether he should say it. After all, it wouldn't do him any good.

Regarding this point, Alan's father, Grisha Yeager, came from beyond the giant wall and also knew the reality of this world, but he also did not tell Alan about this.

Even his biological father didn't mention it to his son. It would be better for him as an outsider not to do such a thing that has no benefit and is thankless.

Walking on the way home, the three of them were silent. Yang Pan had a pipe in his mouth as if thinking about something, Allen lowered his head and was a little depressed, and Mikasa's expression was calm, but from time to time.

Taking a look at Allen next to him, it was obvious that he was very interested in the latter.

Yang Pan thought that they would return to Allen's house in silence, but just halfway through, Mikasa, who had been relatively silent, suddenly spoke up and broke the silence.

"Eren, do you want to join the Survey Corps now?" Mikasa asked in a deep voice.

After hearing Mikasa's question, Allen was a little evasive, tilted his head and said, "Let's go back quickly, it's time to have lunch." After speaking, Allen speeded up.

Seeing that Allen did not answer his question directly, Mikasa did not continue to ask, but speeded up to keep up with Allen's speed.

After walking for a while, the three of them returned to Allen's house. However, after entering Allen's house, Yang Pan's eyes narrowed slightly because he discovered that Allen's father, Grisha Yeager,

You have returned home.

And after Yang Pan followed Allen and Mikasa into the house, the other party immediately stood up and locked his eyes directly on him. He didn't even respond to Allen and Mikasa's calls.
