A week passed in the blink of an eye. During that week, the Science Department made some basic repairs to the cargo ship. Most of it had been undamaged to begin with; there were only some problems with the exterior and a few sections that needed repairs.
It was still perfectly suitable for transporting supplies or carrying cargo. Since Bai Yu needed it, they worked overtime on the repairs, but time constraints meant they still hadn't installed an engine fueled by iceburst stone.
Bai Yu didn't demand anything more. After all, he wasn't going to use this ship for combat. Even if it couldn't move under its own power, he didn't mind having the Christa tow it. As long as it could carry cargo without sinking, that was enough.
After careful consideration, however, Bai Yu ultimately selected only Levi's elite squad, Jay, who possessed the power of the Colossal Titan, the Bai Yu Squad, Mikasa and Eren, and two squads responsible for logistics, based on the ships' capacity. Armin wouldn't be coming this time; he wasn't strong enough.
These were already the most powerful fighters in the Survey Corps.
Oh, right-Hange had also asked to come along, but Bai Yu refused and told her to wait until next time.
Investigation wasn't the main objective this time. Many people understood the situation with Ming. Erwin knew too, but he didn't say anything.
No one would tell Bai Yu that rescuing one person wasn't worth using so many supplies and making others risk their lives. Not even Erwin.
After the operation was reported to the government, every department began preparing before approval had even come through. Apart from the fact that it was certain to be approved, they would carry out this Expedition Beyond the Walls even if it wasn't.
