Reincarnation Paradise Park

Chapter 151: Chapter 11: Leader, Don’t Abandon Us

”Eren!!!”

A piercing female scream echoed far into the distance, vaguely tinged with a sobbing tone.

The Blood Rose, leading a group of Contractors back to Zone 3, happened to hear this cry of despair.

”Something’s happened, hurry.”

The group quickened their pace, and upon reaching Zone 3, they saw Mikasa kneeling and weeping over a severed leg.

The Contractors were all bewildered, but upon seeing Su Xiao standing beside a Titan’s corpse, Blood Rose vaguely guessed what was going on—it had to be his doing.

This guy killed the protagonist? No, Paradise didn’t prompt anything, and protagonists like Eren shouldn’t die so easily.

”It’s still early, and with the current Light Source Titan, it’s unlikely they could act, so what’s really happening?”

Upon seeing the anguished Mikasa kneeling, a Contractor’s eyes lit up, wanting to approach and understand the situation. If he could gain Mikasa’s favor, it would be highly beneficial.

But just as that Contractor took two steps, Blood Rose held him back.

”What?”

There was some impatience in the Contractor’s eyes. He supported Blood Rose but wouldn’t blindly obey her.

”Idiot, look over there.”

Blood Rose gestured with her chin, indicating for the Contractor to look in Su Xiao’s direction.

The Contractor turned his head, and upon seeing those cold eyes shrouded in steam, he had no desire to proceed further.

Those eyes seemed to say, ”Whoever dares interfere, dies!”

”Seems like someone already tried to block this opening, but the method is really daring.”

Blood Rose wasn’t foolish; she had already roughly guessed Su Xiao’s plan.

Though the plan’s steps weren’t complex, it required considerable courage. Mishandling could lead to being hunted by the Survey Corps within the walls, and facing Mikasa’s relentless pursuit.

”Let’s pretend we saw nothing; this plan benefits us.”

While Blood Rose said this, she was already contemplating how to sabotage Su Xiao’s plan; the top reward for Attack and Defense Contribution Value belonged only to her Other Shore Flower; no one else could have it.

Blood Rose carefully examined the Titan’s corpse and found no human remains, indicating she had guessed correctly.

Eren had vanished, and Entu had disappeared too; there must be something fishy going on.

But even knowing it was useless, Blood Rose couldn’t confront Su Xiao. Let alone the disparity in strength, Cold Moon’s warning from last night still echoed in her ears.

Thump. Thump~.

Outside the walls, the Titans had fully regained vitality and were once again tirelessly rushing towards the opening.

”Brother Bai Ye, a new day of Attack and Defense is about to begin.”

Blood Rose subtly hinted for Su Xiao to guard the entrance.

But Su Xiao didn’t move; he just sat on a pile of ruins.

”I was just ambushed by a Titan and got seriously injured, so defending the entrance will be up to you.”

After saying this, Su Xiao took out some jerky and slowly began eating.

The faces of the Contractors changed dramatically—what about defending the passage? This is no joke, big guy.

”Don’t expect Entu to help me heal, he’s already left Zone 3 due to yesterday’s unequal division of spoils.”

The reason Su Xiao wasn’t defending the entrance was to increase the plan’s success rate.

Even if Eren, inside the Titan’s stomach, truly transforms into a Titan and lifts a boulder to block the entrance, who can guarantee Eren will definitely block the Zone 3 entrance? Instead of Zone 1 or Zone 2.

Although Su Xiao had Entu hide the Titan that swallowed Eren near Zone 3, it still wasn’t foolproof.

But what if Zone 3 were to fall? Anyone would prioritize sealing a fallen entrance.

In this regard, Su Xiao had advantages; he dared to allow the defense line to fall, but the other two Leaders would never dare.

Once the entrance was breached, Contractors guarding it would be in danger. The fate of Zone 3’s Contractors was irrelevant to Su Xiao, but those Leaders wouldn’t abandon their members, at least not publicly.

”Mikasa.”

Su Xiao called out to Mikasa, and she immediately lifted her head, tearful eyes glaring at Su Xiao, seeming to want to devour him.

”What did you make us drink yesterday!”

Mikasa shouted, surprising the Contractors present. Without completing the Attack and Defense task, how did this guy communicate with Eren and the others?

Su Xiao killed too many Titans yesterday, and consequently, Eren held an intense animosity towards Titans, otherwise he wouldn’t eat roasted meat, no matter how delicious.

”What did you drink? Just fruit juice.”

Su Xiao replied indifferently, completely unconcerned by Mikasa’s questioning.

”Impossible. I’ll kill you, kill you to avenge Eren.”

Eren’s ’death’ had already made Mikasa lose her composure.

”But I drank it too.”

Mikasa’s body stiffened; indeed, this man also drank it, so why wasn’t he affected—could it be poison?

In just a brief moment of thought, Mikasa dismissed these ideas; she had a gut feeling that this bastard was behind everything today.

”A friendly reminder, it wasn’t this Titan that swallowed Eren. The attacking Titans numbered two, and the one that swallowed Eren went to chase my ’companion,’ the one who had dinner with us last night.”

”Based on my experience serving in the Survey Corps, a human swallowed remains salvageable for an hour. Even though Eren’s leg was bitten off, he was swallowed alive.”

”The Titan’s biting actions cause air to enter its abdominal cavity, and Titan ’gastric acid’ isn’t very corrosive. Most people choose suicide inside a Titan due to fear.”

”How long do you think Eren can hold on? Ten minutes? Half an hour? In that pitch-black stomach?”

Su Xiao’s words echoed in Mikasa’s ears like the Demon’s low whisper.

”Eren’s not dead yet?”

Mikasa couldn’t believe it, pointing two Sharp Blades at Su Xiao, ready to leap at him at any moment.

”Mikasa, even if there’s any hope, I’ll go to save Eren, and...”

Tearful Armin’s words were interrupted as a thunderous boom reached them from afar.

Bang!

A golden lightning bolt crashed down from the sky, and a fifteen-meter-level Titan appeared within Wall of Rossa.

One of the Nine Giants, the Attack Titan appeared, current Successor: Eren.

Su Xiao’s lips curled into a smile; part of the plan succeeded.

”Is it this Titan that swallowed Eren?”

Mikasa fluffed up at the sight of the suddenly appearing Titan. The Three-Dimensional Maneuver Gear’s back vents ejected steam as Mikasa leaped onto rooftops, racing towards the Titan.

Watching this scene, Su Xiao felt a bit petrified; Mikasa wouldn’t cut Eren, would she? It’s very possible; if the nape is severed, Eren would die, and all his work would be for nothing this morning—’spitting blood’ + induction was really exhausting.

”Damn.”

Su Xiao got up and ran towards Eren, but compared to the speed of the ’Three-Dimensional Maneuver Gear,’ he was slower. He could only run on the ground, facing various terrains and obstacles.

”Hey, you...”

Blood Rose was dumbfounded—he just left? What about the front line?

”Blood Rose, shout once in the morning.”

Chen brought his people over.

”Over there.”

Blood Rose pointed to Su Xiao’s departing figure.

”What~? What about the front line.”

Chen, seeing Su Xiao’s departing figure, felt helpless—this strongman is so capricious~.

”Two choices: defend with everything or let it be; as long as Zone 3 isn’t fully overrun by Titans, our mission won’t be deemed a failure.”

Blood Rose spoke, exchanging glances with Chen.

”Of course, let it be.”

”I won’t continue defending.”

Nobody was foolish; the current situation was unfavorable for both Other Shore Flower and Brotherhood. The two wouldn’t keep defending; at most, it would result in mission failure—each had their own adventure groups, and even if the mission failed, they wouldn’t be in danger.

Blood Rose and Chen both ’headed home,’ leaving behind those thirty or so Contractors. The adventure groups would protect them, but these Contractors could only face their fate.

”Should we at least try to defend?”

A Contractor suggested, but the others gave him caring looks—now was the time to flee, not defend for nothing. Weren’t they watching the Zone 3 leaders, with their combat effectiveness, already slipping away?

Su Xiao ran swiftly through the streets, calculating his next strategic moves.

In the previous Ghoul world, he was assigned a solo camp with a lower World Difficulty, so he slashed his way through the Ghoul world.

But the Giant world was different. Though he was much stronger now, the Giant world had two adventure groups, requiring him to tread carefully.

First, he needed to complete the Attack and Defense mission, otherwise, he wouldn’t obtain those precious Soul Crystals (small).
