Chapter 548: Influence, everyone needs me!
Some people are alive, but they are dead; some people are dead, but they are still alive.
Some people carve their names into stones in order to be "immortal", while others would rather be weeds and wait for the fire in the ground to burn.
Life spans only tens to hundreds of years, and no one wants to become famous forever and stand at the highest point.
On Earth, Soma failed to make most people remember him, or even make a deep impression on people other than his relatives.
But in this wasteland, it is no exaggeration.
If there is anything that these remaining survivors should keep in mind, it must be...
His face!
In the wasteland, this face represents rules and hope.
Similarly, for ordinary people, it means surviving!
"Hal is Somo, no wonder Somo is Hal, no wonder!"
"Only he can make an ordinary demon soul clan famous and rise brilliantly in just a few days. He is the only one who has this ability to turn decay into something magical!”
Looking at that tall and majestic figure that makes people unable to take their eyes off, watching him join the humans coming in front with a full smile! .
Marshal Wang’s feet softened and he collapsed directly to the ground.
The last second, his mind flashed back to the arrogance of standing in front of Somo, shouting at him, asking him to bring the broth to him.
The next second, he remembered that he was facing the strongest man in the human race, facing the flag of the human race, facing the famous God Killer, and he actually waved his fist and smashed it hard.
"I actually talked loudly to Su Shen? How dare I take action against Su Shen?"
My mind was suddenly confused, and Marshal Wang started talking back and forth, obviously he was frightened. Got it!
Of course, Sumo, who had already stepped forward to greet him, did not know about these psychological activities of his.
Faced with the oncoming force, everyone looked like they were launching an army to punish them.
Looking at Oreo's anxious but happy dog face, he seemed to have remembered something. The smile on Somo's face froze, and his steps subconsciously stopped.
“Director, Director, no matter what you say this time, we won’t let you go out again”
“Yes, that’s the truth, Director, if you want to go out next time, I Li Hu has to stay with you even if I die, otherwise these people will skin me!"
"Woof! Woof!"
"Master, this time Moore! I want to follow you too, Moore doesn’t want to work at home, Moore wants to fight!”
"Brother, you promised not to leave behind my back, but you went and took risks. You wanted to scare us to death at home!!!"
One after another, the voices of blame sounded. Behind them are familiar faces full of worry.
Obviously, on the day when the Demon Soul clan was seriously injured, everyone was frightened through Oreo's early warning.
If Sumo hadn't left a death order before leaving, no one could leave the territory's borders for any reason.
Otherwise it will be in the form of that day.
I'm afraid I'll have to
all hands on deck!
"I"
Hold Su Chan in her arms and look at the people surrounding him. Su Mo opened his mouth, but in the end he couldn't say a word.
"Brother, I want you to promise me now, otherwise the next time you leave, I will follow you immediately"
"They can't stop me!"
The wind and snow that lasted for a day has only stopped for two or three hours. Like the Demon Soul Clan's territory, every part of the depression is covered with snow, turning into The ice and snow kingdom.
At around six o'clock in the morning, the rising sun on the horizon was only a pale white, and did not fully reveal its light.
With Oreo's early warning of joy, Chen Shen, Li Hu, Pei Shao, Shen Ke and others were just disheveled, so they took a piece of clothing and threw it on before rushing out.
But Su Chan didn't even wear shoes, she just stepped on the cold snow and ran for nearly a kilometer.
Along the way, even though she fell twice and bruised her elbows, she didn't let anyone, including Oreo, help her up.
"Does it hurt?"
"I want you to answer me now!"
Inheriting Su's mother's stubborn temper, Su Mo did not answer him directly when he heard that When asked the question, Su Chan stubbornly turned away her arm and stared straight at her.
Others also turned their gazes over at this moment, staring directly at Somo.
Logically speaking, this scene is a very strange thing.
Completely different from other territories, if Somo today indulges in enjoyment every day and ignores the development of the territory, then it will be okay for everyone to come up and give advice.
But the fact is that compared with Sumo who is going through life and death and working hard outside, they are like the ones enjoying themselves at home.
But there is no other way, for the safety of the great lord himself.
Counting all the people in the entire territory who can say this, Su Chan is the only one left!
"Okay, brother, I promise you, I won't go into danger alone again before this winter is over!"
Knowing that everyone meant to "force the palace" on him, Sumo had no choice but to smile helplessly, While muttering, he carried Su Chan on his back.
"You guys"
Looking around at the people who were a little guilty and dodgey.
After pouting at Marshal Wang behind him, Sumo took the lead and walked forward.
Most of the time, he cherishes his life more than everyone present. No one knows better than him the principle of enduring for a while and taking a step back to make peace.
But there were a few moments when he was like those passionate young people who were willing to give up their own safety for certain ideals and certain missions.
This is not immaturity, nor is it the stubbornness of young people.
But after such a long time, Sumo has become more and more aware of what he needs now.
He wanted all the survivors in the depression to have a house to live in, to have something to eat, and to spend this cold winter safely.
He wants the lowland to become rich, the technology tree to revive, the economy to circulate, everyone to have their own treasury, and everyone to have their own pursuits.
He didn’t want to see the super-large human gathering place like what Marshal Wang said, where everyone was trying to survive, giving up their bottom line as a human being, and releasing their animal nature.
These people, including Su Chan, have no idea at all!
From being beaten to the door, an ordinary person can only sit on a stool and cheer himself up.
Evolved to this day, a tyrannical warrior who dares to risk life and death and has ruthless methods. What has he experienced?
"Su Chan, you know, I have to fight. It has nothing to do with what kind of life we want to live, but that I can't stop!"
Carrying my sister on my back, I strode away from the crowd behind me. Finally, Somo seemed to be talking to himself or to the person on his back.
"You need me, my parents need me, Oreo, Moore, Big Spark, they all need me"
"But except you, the villagers in this depression, Chen Shen and the others , Li Hu and the others also need me!”
“But besides you, do you know that the people in this wasteland who need me more than you are actually those who are still on the line of life and death today? Ordinary people who crawl around"
Speaking of this, Su Chan suddenly trembled on his back, and Su Mo stopped talking in time.
For his sister, who is destined to live under his wings, sometimes, Sumo does not want to pass on too much fear and pressure.
But living in the apocalypse, no one dares to say that they will definitely survive.
To prepare for a rainy day, Sumo chose the method that was not gentle but the most acceptable.
However, Su Chan's strength, or ordinary people's understanding of the end of the world, once again exceeded Somo's original impression.
"Brother, do you think I don't understand?"
"Let's not talk about the admiration of those ordinary people for you when I was in the Tundra Refuge, let's just talk about these people in our territory"
"When you were here, Chen Shen was full of confidence every day and was busy with this and that every day. He wished he could work 24 hours a day and devote his passion to construction. But once you left, development, economy, life, etc. After putting several burdens on him, I have never seen a smile on his face, nor have I seen him eat a complete meal. He is basically two people when you are here and when you are not." Brother Hu, when you were here, Brother Hu only had to lead people to patrol once a day and return to the village to train the militia team. But once you left, Brother Hu had to go to the border to lead patrols every day, for fear that someone would He ran into the territory, and every night, after everyone had gone to bed, he still sat anxiously in the duty room at the entrance of the village, waiting for news from the outgoing team."
"Also Sister Shen, Su Yuan and the others, when you were here, most of their energy was focused on how to arrange better tasks to stimulate everyone's enthusiasm, but after you left, they worked tirelessly every day to count our remaining supplies. , studying how to save as much as possible so that you don’t have too much pressure”
"Including ordinary villagers, and even the cooks who cook every day, when you were here, I could feel their concentration and gratitude in every meal, but after you left, their meals also lost a lot of flavor"
“…”
Counting from the beginning to the end of the village, from the village chief Chen Shen to the cook in the shelter.
On the surface, Su Chan, who was happily grazing cattle and sheep every day, observed the territory in such detail that it completely exceeded Somo's imagination.
Even most of the situations she mentioned were things that even Sumo himself could not observe.
"Brother, do you think we don't know we need you? Or do you think everyone doesn't know the importance of you in this territory?"
"With you, it is our home and our home." We have to water it with our sweat and defend it with our lives!”
“What is it without you?”
Dongri’s tears are warm.
After saying the last sentence with a hint of crying, Su Chan's tears began to flow down, and finally hit Su Mo's shoulder and fell on his hand.
"Brother, do you know what we should do if something happens to you?"
Angrily punched Su Mo in the chest, although Su Chan used His strength is still like scratching an itch for the demigod's body.
But it was at this moment that just like the dry and cracked skin was soaked with tears, Somo's dry heart was also injected with a living spring.
"It's me. It's me, too selfish."
Su Chan stopped sobbing: "No, brother, you are not too selfish, you are too selfless!"
"You have to know that you are just an old otaku who has lived on earth for more than 20 years. You are not the warriors who defeated the devil in the game at all!"
Few or no one knows about Somo's past. .
When he is in the spotlight, he is always so perfect and always so domineering!
It is difficult for people to think of such a person on earth. He is just an ordinary person among the crowd who cannot be ordinary.
But in the eyes of his relatives, Sumo will always be the ordinary person who laughs and laughs. His greatest happiness is playing games and bragging with netizens.
"Ha, if you didn't tell me, I would hardly be able to remember, and I would be just an ordinary person."
"That's right, where in the world would it be my turn to worry about it!"
In After communicating with Marshal Wang, on the way back to the depression, Sumo was thinking about how to destroy this 30,000-person base and how to accept the people inside.
But at this moment, he realized that he was wrong.
It’s not that he was wrong or had a problem with his thinking, but that he had been living a smooth life without any awareness of the apocalyptic wasteland.
In real comparison, he was not as good as Su Chan, who had lived in the tundra refuge for more than a month.
Never lacked a mouthful of food, and never lacked a mouthful of water.
I have never had the experience of being naked and having to hide in the cold wind to survive.
I have never experienced intrigues with other survivors, playing tricks on each other, and plotting each other's materials.
Since arriving in the wasteland, Sumo admitted that he was a little lucky.
Having a system helped him avoid the difficult situations faced by more than 99% of survivors.
But at the same time, it also caused him to lose the opportunity to change his mentality in a certain sense, making his thoughts a little naive on rare occasions.
"You're right, I don't have the ability to save everyone in the world, not even a base with 30,000 people"
Walk through most of the way back to the shelter Cheng Lu heard Su Chan burst into tears behind her and smiled. Su Mo shook his head in relief, and then all the sorrow on his face disappeared.
Sometimes, it is really difficult for yourself to accept that you are not capable enough.
But sometimes, once you really let go of this burden, what you can feel is peace in your heart.
“That’s right, it’s just a base of 30,000 people?”
“Brother, did you find other people outside?”
“Well, I got some news , there are about 30,000 people near us!”
Without any cover-up, Sumo directly told the story of the war that took place in the Free City, how he met Marshal Wang, and how he accidentally killed him. The matter of subjugation was slowly told.
Among them, Somo did not sugarcoat the news about the human gathering place and the cruelty inside.
"Huh? They have developed to this? This is too much"
"I am considering waiting until the heavy snow is over and sending people there to inquire about the news. First of all, our depression is indeed still there. We need some people, and secondly, after we know it, we still have some unclear ideas in our hearts.”
“But there is no rush in this matter, there is going to be a heavy snowfall soon, and our first priority must be to solve our problems! ”
The sun rises, accompanied by the rays of the rising sun.
I hope that many villagers in the village have already gotten up and are moving in groups.
Different from those lazy people in Liberty City who are only interested in profit.
Within the five hundred meters surrounding the village, apart from the snowflakes that fell last night, there was no snow at all as expected.
Even the roofs of prefabricated houses and some hidden places have been cleaned up by the villagers!
And on the right side of the village, there are already two huge jars wrapped in thick "coats" standing up, with a big word "water" clearly written on them.
Run through it by the heating pipes and once the boiler starts burning.
Soon, the water in these two jars will heat up immediately, providing everyone in the depression with hard-won hot water!
Seeing a strange figure carrying a person walking from a distance, the people in the village reacted quickly.
At first, they thought one of their own was injured outside and was being carried back by his teammates, so they quickly wanted to come over and help.
But after taking two steps closer and realizing that it was Somo who was coming back, they stepped back in surprise, and then started to scream strangely after escaping from Somo's sight.
Not a reveille, but better than a reveille.
Hearing the five words from the director, some people who were still sleeping and those who were still lying in bed immediately lost their sleepiness, quickly put on their clothes and rushed out.
"Hahaha, these people are really..."
"Brother, they love you, no, they love you. Look, they are so energetic!"< br>
In less than three minutes, more than a thousand people quickly "gathered" together.
In order to look familiar in Somo, some social nerds put on their clothes, pick up a shovel and rush out, directly facing the snow from last night.
Most people looked at Somo timidly from a distance, with undisguised awe and happiness on their faces.
“The heating was not turned on last night?”
“It was turned on, but it’s no different than not turned on. We didn’t have enough coal. It only turned on for two hours and then turned off!”< br>
Hearing the words "not enough coal", Sumo couldn't help but frowned.
With the current temperature and the physiques of these people in the depression, they will definitely not be able to withstand widespread illness for a long time.
But the next second, when he thought of the hundreds of marks on his waist and the more than 500 templates he brought back, Sumo couldn't help but laugh.
"Don't worry, we don't have enough coal, but our neighbors have plenty of coal."
"There is a saying that happiness alone is not as good as happiness for everyone. The day after tomorrow, no, tomorrow In the morning, I will take people over to pick up the coal that my friend gave us!”
