Some people are alive, but they are already 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 them.

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 he 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 one thing that these remaining survivors should keep in mind, that is it.

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 makes people unable to take their eyes away, watching him join the humans coming in front with a full smile.

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

In the last second, his mind flashed back to the arrogance of standing in front of Somo, shouting at him, asking him to bring him the broth.

The next second, he remembered that he was facing the strongest man in the human race, facing the flag of the human race, facing this famous God-Slayer, 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 raising an army to punish the enemy.

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 borders for any reason.

Otherwise, it will be in the form of 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. Just 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 in the sky was only a pale white, and it did not fully shine.

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 any 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 Chan stubbornly turned away 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, this 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 Somo who is struggling outside and working through life and death, they are like the ones enjoying themselves at home.

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

Counting the people in the entire territory who can say this, Su Chan is the only one left!

"Okay, 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 looked 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 calm down.

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 beaten by others to the door, an ordinary person can only sit on a stool and cheer himself up.

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 anymore!"

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 apart from 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 trembled violently 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 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. 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. were 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. When you are here and when you are not, he is basically two people."

"Brother Hu, when you are here, Brother Hu only needs to lead people to patrol once a day and return to the village to train the militia team. But once you leave, Brother Hu has to go to the border to lead patrols every day. For fear of

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."

"There are 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 the rest of us.

We are studying how to save the materials we purchased 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 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?"
