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 to burn underground.

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, and even failed to make people other than his relatives have a deep impression on him.

But in this wasteland, it is no exaggeration.

If there is anything that these remaining survivors should keep in mind, it would be

His face!

In the wasteland, this face represents rules and hope.

Likewise, for ordinary people, it means surviving!

"Howl is Soma, no wonder Soma is Howl, no wonder!"

"Only he can make an ordinary demon soul clan become famous and glorious in just a few days. Only he has the ability to turn decay into magic!"

Looking at that tall and majestic figure that made people unable to take their eyes away, he watched him join the humans coming in front with a full smile.

Marshal Wang's feet softened and he collapsed directly to the ground.

In the last second, his mind flashed back to the arrogance of him standing in front of Somo, shouting and drinking 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?"

His mind was suddenly confused, and Marshal Wang started talking back and forth. He was obviously frightened!

Of course, Sumo, who had already stepped forward to greet him, did not know about these psychological activities of his.

Facing the menacing attack, 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, next time you go out, I, Li Hu, have to stay with you even if I die, otherwise these people will skin me!"

"Woof! Woof! Woof!"

"Master, this time Moore will follow you. Moore doesn't want to work at home. Moore wants to fight!"

"Brother, you promised not to leave behind my back, but you ran away and took risks. You wanted to scare us to death at home!!!"

Voices of blame sounded one after another, and behind the voices were 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 Soma hadn't left a fatal order before leaving, no one could leave the territory's boundaries for any reason.

Otherwise it will be as it is that day.

I'm afraid there will be a depression

All hands on deck!

"I"

Hugging Su Chan, who rushed over, and looking at the people surrounding him, Su Mo opened his mouth, but was still able to 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 had only stopped for two or three hours. Like the Demon Soul Clan's territory, every part of the depression was covered with snow, turning it into a kingdom of ice and snow.

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 joyful warning, Chen Shen, Li Hu, Pei Shao, Shen Ke and others were just disheveled, so they casually grabbed a piece of clothing and threw it on before rushing out.

But Su Chan didn't even wear any shoes and 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 Chan stubbornly turned over her arm and stared straight at Su Mo when she heard that Su Mo did not answer her question directly.

Others also turned their gazes over at this moment, staring directly at Somo.

Logically speaking, the current scene is a very strange thing.

It is completely different from other territories. If Somo is now indulging in enjoyment every day and ignoring the development of the territory, then it will be okay for everyone to come up and give advice.

But the fact is that compared to Sumo who works hard outside and goes through life and death, they are like the ones enjoying themselves at home.

But there is no other way, for the safety of the great lord himself.

Counting 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 until this winter is over!"

Knowing that everyone wanted to "force him into the palace", Su Mo had no choice but to smile helplessly, muttered, and carried Su Chan on his back.

"You guys"

He looked around at the people who were a little guilty and dodge their eyes.

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 knew more and more clearly what he needed 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 a 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 an ordinary person to being beaten at the door, he could only sit on a stool and cheer himself up with fear.

He has evolved to this day and is 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 I can't stop!"

After carrying his sister on his back and striding away from the crowd behind him, Somo seemed to be talking to himself or to the person on his back.

"You need me, my parents need me, Oreo, Moore, Big and Little Sparks, they all need me."

"But besides you, the villagers in this depression, Chen Shen and Li Hu, also need me!"

"But besides you, do you know that in this wasteland, the people who need me more than you are actually the ordinary people who are still struggling between life and death today?"

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 doesn't 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 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. He 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. would be burdened with many things. After I pressed him, I never saw a smile on his face, nor did I see him finish 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 by himself every day, for fear that Someone ran into the territory. Every night, after everyone went to bed, he sat anxiously in the duty room at the entrance of the village, waiting for news from the outgoing team."

"And 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 the rest of us. I’m trying to figure out how to save the materials I bought so that you don’t feel too stressed.”

"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 of the village to the end of the village, from the village chief Chen Shen, all the way 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 existed 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 it is the home that we have to water with sweat and defend with our lives!"

"What is it without you?"

Dongri’s tears were warm and 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, the rest of us, will do if something happens to you?"

An angry punch hit Su Mo's chest. Although Su Chan used her strength, it was 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, it's so 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 in the game who defeated the devil at all!"

Little or no one knows about Soma's past.

In the spotlight, he is always so perfect and always so domineering!

It is difficult for people to think that such a person is just an ordinary person among the crowd on earth.

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 don't tell me, I can't remember. I'm just an ordinary person."

"That's right. It's not my turn to worry about anything in this world!"

After communicating with Marshal Wang, on the way back to the depression, Su Mo's mind was full of how to destroy the base of 30,000 people and how to accept the people inside.

But at this moment, he found that he was wrong.

It's not that he was wrong and had a problem with his thinking, but he had always lived smoothly and had no awareness of the doomsday wasteland at all.

If you really compare, he is not as good as Su Chan who has lived in the tundra shelter for more than a month.

He has never lacked a bite of food or a mouthful of water.

He has never had the experience of being naked and hiding in the cold wind.

He has never had the experience of intrigue and playing tricks with other survivors, and plotting against each other's supplies.

Since coming to the wasteland, Su Mo admitted that he was a little lucky.

There is a system that helps him avoid the difficult situation that more than 99% of the survivors have to face.

But at the same time, it also made him lose the opportunity to change his mentality in a certain sense, making his thoughts a little naive at rare times.

"You are right, I don't have the ability to save everyone in the world, even a base of 30,000 people, I can't save it"

After walking most of the way back to the refuge, Su Mo shook his head in relief when he heard Su Chan behind him burst into tears and laughed, and then all the sorrow on his face disappeared.

Sometimes, admitting that one's own ability is not enough is indeed a very difficult thing for oneself to accept.

But sometimes, once you really put down this burden, you can feel a peace in your heart.

"That's right, but a base of 30,000 people?"

"Brother, have you found other people outside?"

"Well, I got some news, there are about 30,000 people near us!"

Without any concealment, Su Mo directly told the war in Liberty City, how he met Marshal Wang, and how he conquered him by accident.

Among them, Su Mo did not whitewash the news about the human gathering place and the cruelty inside.

"Ah? They have developed to this point? This is too..."

"I am considering sending people to inquire about the news after the heavy snow ends. First, we do need some people in the depression, and second, I always feel confused if I don't go there after knowing it."

"But there is no rush for this matter. It will snow heavily soon. Our first priority must be to solve our problems!"

The sun is rising, and the light of the morning sun is shining.

Many villagers in the Hope Village have climbed up and moved their bodies in groups of three or five.

Different from the lazy people in Liberty City who are only interested in profit.

In the range of 500 meters around the village, except for the snowflakes that fell last night, there is no snow as imagined.

Even the roofs of the mobile 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 tanks wrapped in thick "coats" standing up, with a big word "water" written on them.

Passing through the heating pipes, once the boiler starts to burn.

Soon, the water in these two jars will heat up immediately, providing hard-earned hot water to everyone in the depression!

Seeing a strange figure carrying a person on his back coming from a distance, the villagers reacted quickly.

At first, they thought that one of their own was injured outside and was carried back by his teammates, so they hurried to help.

But after getting two steps closer and finding that it was Su Mo who came back, they retreated in surprise, and then after escaping from Su Mo's sight, they began to scream.

It's not a wake-up call, but it's better than a wake-up call.

Hearing the five words "the director is back", some people who were still sleeping and those who were still staying 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, how energetic!"

In less than three minutes, more than a thousand people quickly "assembled".

In order to make themselves familiar with Su Mo, some people with social stunts put on their clothes, picked up a shovel and rushed out, directly working on the snow from last night.

Most people looked at Su Mo timidly from a distance, with undisguised awe and joy on their faces.

"Didn't you turn on the heating last night?"

"It was turned on, but it made no difference whether it was turned on or not. We didn't have enough coal. We only turned it on for two hours and then turned it off!"

Hearing the words "not enough coal", Su Mo couldn't help but frown.

With the current temperature, with the physique of the people in the depression, they would definitely not be able to withstand it for long before getting sick on a large scale.

But the next second, thinking of the hundreds of marks on his waist and the more than 500 templates he brought back, Su Mo couldn't help but laugh again.

"Don't worry, we don't have enough coal, but our neighbors have plenty of coal"

"There's a saying, it's better to share happiness than to enjoy it alone. The day after tomorrow, no, tomorrow morning, I'll take people to get the coal that our friends gave us!"
