Chapter 161: Acting?

After Erwin gave the order, the members of the Survey Corps split into ten squads and leaped from the wall one after another.

The Survey Corps had about a thousand people in total; they were the smallest of all the corps within the walls, yet they were the strongest in combat power.

Watching the Survey Corps figures rushing rapidly toward the mindless Titans, Eren's eyes held a sense of longing; his dream was to become a member of the Survey Corps and go outside the walls to drive out the Titans.

The departure of the Survey Corps on the wall left Armin feeling somewhat uneasy; this clever youth had already discerned who was friend and who was foe.

"Is it really okay to stay here?"

Armin scanned his surroundings; the hostile glares from the Military Police Brigade made him feel even more uneasy.

"It's fine. Whoever dares to disrupt the operation is an enemy of humanity."

Su Xiao sat on the edge of the wall, gazing at the distant Wall Luo Sai. The sun gradually rose behind Wall Luo Sai, and the golden sunlight, half-exposed, illuminated the city, making it look breathtakingly beautiful.

A stunning view.

Su Xiao lit a cigarette, looked at the beautiful scenery in the distance, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Um— Mr. Bai Ye."

A voice that ruined the scenery appeared; it was Eren.

"What is it?"

Eren hesitated before saying:

"Mr. Bai Ye, although I can initially control the Titan power, I don't have my sanity after turning into a Titan. I'm not sure if I'll remember to lift that big rock."

Eren voiced his concerns.

"It's fine. I will help you recover your sanity when the time comes."

Su Xiao knew that Eren lacked sanity after transforming into a Titan, but he had a way.

Eren subconsciously stepped back.

"Can you tell me what method?"

"You wouldn't want to know."

Su Xiao exhaled a puff of blue smoke. Now, he just needed to wait; the Survey Corps below had already begun clearing the Titans.

Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, two hours went by, and it was time for the operation.

"Let's go."

Su Xiao took the lead and jumped off the wall, with Eren and the other two following behind. Their target was that large rock.

At this moment, Su Xiao had three signal guns tucked into his waist. Red represented mission failure, green represented success, and yellow represented that the plan was proceeding smoothly and the defensive line was beginning to be established.

Five minutes later, the four of them arrived near the giant rock.

The giant rock was pitch black and oval-shaped, with a diameter of about ten meters; its weight was hard to estimate.

Survey Corps members were guarding the vicinity of the giant rock. After Su Xiao and the others arrived, these people began to spread out to clear the Titans wandering on the path.

The reputation of the Survey Corps was not just talk; they had already cleared about 70% of the Titans within the walls in two hours, though there were some casualties, with about a few dozen people martyred.

"Very good. Now you can turn into a Titan."

Su Xiao looked at Eren, who was standing in front of the giant rock, looking up.

"Can I really lift this rock?"

"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and turn into a Titan."

If Eren messed up at the critical moment, Su Xiao had a special way to help him turn into a Titan.

Eren nodded, raised his palm, and bit down below his thumb.

Crunch.

Blood flowed down the corner of Eren's mouth, but nothing happened.

"It hurts."

Eren's palm trembled. Seeming to think of something, he gathered his courage and bit again.

Crunch, crunch, crunch...

After biting four or five times in succession, Eren's mouth was full of blood, but he still hadn't turned into a Titan.

"I... I don't think I can turn into a Titan anymore."

There was some panic in Eren's eyes as he looked at Su Xiao for help.

"Imagine if you can't turn into a Titan, Mikasa and Armin will die."

Checking Zhan Long Shan appeared in his hand; Eren needed some stimulation now.

"Eh?"

Eren looked at Su Xiao in surprise.

"I'm not joking. The Survey Corps is suffering casualties every second. I'll give you thirty seconds to try. If you still don't succeed, I'll help you."

Eren swallowed hard.

"Wait a minute, I..."

"Forget it, I've lost my patience."

Su Xiao's somewhat lazy expression vanished, and he suddenly lunged toward Mikasa and Armin on the side.

The two hadn't even drawn their weapons yet. Seeing Su Xiao suddenly pounce, Mikasa reacted first, blocking with her arms in front of her. Su Xiao's speed was too fast; it was too late for her to draw her weapon.

Bang.

Su Xiao delivered a swift side kick to Mikasa's lower abdomen. Mikasa was no weak woman; Su Xiao clearly felt this kick land on Mikasa's abdominal muscles.

Mikasa was a beautiful soldier with a six-pack.

With her lower abdomen suddenly attacked, Mikasa's body couldn't help but arch.

Su Xiao quickly closed in on Mikasa, grabbed her shoulder with one hand, and slammed his knee into her chest.

Bang.

Mikasa was almost knocked unconscious; a numbing sensation spread from the left side of her chest, and her body slumped to the ground.

Armin was stunned on the side, but he immediately guessed why Su Xiao was attacking them.

He had to run, otherwise, they would really die.

Bang, thud, plop—Armin fell to the ground.

The scene on the roof left Eren in front of the giant rock dumbfounded.

"What are you doing? Why are you attacking them?"

As he spoke, Eren wanted to rush onto the roof.

"If you dare to leave that giant rock by more than three meters, I will cut off his head."

Su Xiao stepped on Armin's chest, with Checking Zhan Long Shan pressed against the other's neck. Armin understood Su Xiao's intention; this was to forcibly compel Eren to turn into a Titan.

If Eren couldn't turn into a Titan, he would really be beheaded.

Armin guessed correctly; if Eren couldn't turn into a Titan, Su Xiao would really cut off Armin's head.

"I'll give you five seconds to turn into a Titan, otherwise I'll kill Armin, and the next one will be Mikasa."

"Five."

"Four."

"Three."

"Two."

"One."

"What a pity."

After speaking, Su Xiao raised Checking Zhan Long Shan. He prepared to cut off Armin's head; if that still didn't work, he would go on to cut Mikasa.

There wasn't much time left now. After the Survey Corps mobilized on a large scale, other Qiyuezhe would definitely notice, and who knew what changes might occur then.

As the blade descended, Eren's expression turned fierce.

"No!!"

Boom!

A bolt of golden lightning fell from the sky, and a violent shockwave spread to the surroundings.

The blade stopped after touching Armin's neck; the skin only made slight contact with Checking Zhan Long Shan, and a wisp of blood appeared on Armin's neck.

"Kid, you're lucky."

Su Xiao let go of Armin. Armin gasped for air; that man just now was definitely not acting—the other party really intended to kill him, he could be sure of that.

Watching Eren, who had already transformed into a Titan, Su Xiao sighed inwardly. People really are forced into things. He gave a bitter smile; how did he feel this sentence had two meanings?

"Then, Eren-beast, hurry up and help me lift that big rock. This feeling of being tied up is too uncomfortable."

Having completed the offensive and defensive mission, Su Xiao was basically liberated; he was going to make a big move later.

Roar!

Eren, transformed into a Titan, let out a roar. Those ink-green eyes looked at Su Xiao, and he swung a fist up!

Boom.

The house shattered, bricks and tiles flew everywhere, and the roof Su Xiao was on was blown apart by Eren's punch.

"Not cooperating, huh? Then I'll help you wake up your brain."

Su Xiao's gaze turned dangerous, his eyes fixed on the nape of the Eren-beast. ===== CHAPTER 162 =====
