The caravan is a group necessary for the survival and development of a settlement. They are responsible for the connection and exchange of materials and information between settlements.

Every caravan that walks on the slope is a hero.

A hero who is unstoppable and indomitable.

Yes, a hero.

It's not a mistake.

Some people say that every caravan is a group of dozens, if not dozens, of different people, but no, I think the caravan is a whole.

If you think of a caravan as a group, then a caravan is at most a League of Legends, and if you consider a caravan as a whole, then heroes refer to "caravanserais"

itself.

Why is there such a distinction between the group and the whole?

Because, the group, will disperse, the whole, will not.

The alliance of heroes will disperse, while the heroes, will not.

Heroes will die, but heroes will never fall.

Heroes will only take over.

…… Because as long as there is one person left in this caravan, it will keep going.

No matter who it loses, the caravan will not fall, even if that person is the leader of the caravan.

For leaders will die, but leaders will never fall.

Leaders are only reincarnated.

- Winter Kaos, "Heroes and Leaders" When Winter first learned that Mr. Sean was looking for him to be the new leader of the caravan, Mr. Winter's heart refused.

He refused, because he wasn't sure he was up to the task.

If he is not up to the job but becomes the leader, he will be responsible for all the blame for the caravan's accident.

He thinks you can't do it as soon as you tell him to do it, he needs to at least try it, try it, and then you know...... Ahem, I wrote well...... "Why did you ask me to be the team leader?" ”

Mr. Winter asked Old Man Sean, who had called him out to talk alone.

He remembered that the team was camping, and the aroma of food was just wafting from the pot in the middle of the camp, and the old man's clothes were not as torn as they are now, and the gray hair on the old man's head was much less than now.

However, the old man's voice was as hard as it is now, and his majesty was full of joy.

"If one day I die, the caravan, I'll leave it to you."

He remembered that the old man patted himself on the shoulder like this, and spoke to him with eyes full of trust.

However, at that time, I had just been punished for being curious about something in the fork in the slope and running back the wrong way.

"Why me?"

Mr. Winter stared at his leader for a long time, and then realized that the old man was indeed not lying to himself, but this made his heart even more puzzled, and his confused eyes contrasted sharply with the tendons and flesh of his body.

"Oh, it's not just you, I've chosen a lot of people."

Mr. Sean explained with a smile, as if he was afraid that the young man in front of him would misunderstand too much, "About seven or eight, you know, as a team leader, you must always consider all the circumstances, such as how to return to the original road in time if you take the wrong path, and how to avoid the nest of mutant species in time when you encounter the road...... And what if you suddenly die in the caravan......"

"Forehead ......"

Mr. Winter was speechless for a moment, and he felt that such a place as a caravan should be very shy about "death"

This word is right, but his team leader said it so lightly, and said it in front of him.

"Curious why I don't care so much about saying something like 'death'?"

The old man, as if he had seen through Mr. Winter's mental activity, pointed out the topic himself, "Yes, why is that? People die every day on the slopes, and it stands to reason that 'death' is a terrible word, but why? ”

"Ah......h

Mr. Winter was stunned and blinked.

"Hehe, because this is a problem that every team leader has to face."

Old man Sean patted Winter on the shoulder again.

"Young man, you must know that it is in such an environment where people may die at every moment that we have to think more about the threat of death! Everyone in the caravan, especially the leader! You should think about what will happen to the entire caravan after you die. There is no doubt that the caravan will collapse without its leader, so what to do! Only, mention, front, find, good, substitute, supplement. ”

Winter looked at Mr. Sean in a daze, and then stared into his eyes.

He saw that the old man's eyes were sharp and firm, but the next moment they became deep and soft.

"That's why I'm calling you out right now and asking if you'd like to."

"Ah...... Of course I do......"

Winter was a little at a loss, and Old Man Sean's gaze that was close to his heart made him a little uncomfortable, "Why do you have to ask if you want to ......?"

"Because I'm going to die."

"Forehead ......"

"All team leaders are going to die. Even if you see I've lived for so many years, I'm going to die. Maybe it's tomorrow. ”

Mr. Sean said with a smile, and then turned back, "It's not too early, go to bed, we have to go tomorrow." ”

"Forehead ......"

So Mr. Winter watched as Mr. Sean left a back for himself, which slowly entered the film curtain of the camp tent.

"By the way, I chose seven or eight people, but they all died."

Mr. Sean, who lifted the curtain, walked into the tent and ended the exchange with Winter with this understatement, "So, you're still the only one." ”

“……”

Mr. Winter watched in amazement as the shadow of Old Man Sean in the tent slowly lay down, and then the light of the flashlight went out, and the shadow projected onto the tent melted into the darkness.

"May I ask how they died?"

After thinking for a long time, Mr. Winter asked such an unpleasant question, although it was a bit hurtful.

“……”

The darkness was silent for a long time, making Winter think that the old man had fallen asleep.

And finally, the old man's voice came from the darkness, "You have a very ...... question Go to sleep. ”

“……”

Mr. Winter also knew that his question was a bit improper, and that it might touch on some of Mr. Shaun's more sad past, so he scratched his head, and wisely did not pursue any further questions.

Winter turned and went back to the other tent.

So the darkness slowly fell silent.

Then, when he was about to fall asleep, Mr. Sean slowly opened his mouth.

The voice was a little muffled.

"One was hit in the head by a falling rock, one was washed off a cliff by a diverted river, one was bitten off half by a sudden toothed beast, and one was ......"

"Mr. Sean, I'm asleep."

Winter blinked in the darkness, then closed.

So Mr. Sean stopped talking.

…… Winter is a rebellious man.

After graduating from basic school, he refused the offer to go to the construction site to the power plant or other places of work, and resolutely joined the caravan, in his opinion, an outstanding talent like himself should not be worn out in the ordinary atmosphere of Spice's life.

It was so comfortable that even the security team was tasked with dealing with the small things in the daily lives of the residents.

However, he was still taken aback by the bold decision made by Mr. Sean.

At least if it were me, it would be impossible to give the opportunity to be a team leader to a newcomer who had just joined the caravan not long ago and had just gone down the wrong path due to serious curiosity.

However, Sean seems to approve of his decision, which makes Mr. Winter, who has just joined the team, feel the deep trust of the old man in him.

"No matter, just die, anyway, this life is so long, it's worth it to be the team leader."

Mr. Winter thought so, and from that day on, he followed the old man in the saddle and did things that were meaningful and meaningless in the eyes of others.

However, only Mr. Winter himself knows that whether it is to let himself go down to check the water level, let himself go ahead to find a way to mark, discuss with him the best way to avoid the mutant lair in front of him, etc., etc., all of this is so that he can master more as a "caravan leader" anytime and anywhere

Knowledge and skills that need to be mastered.

"I don't know when, I'll die. At that time, the caravan will be handed over to you. ”

Mr. Winter remembered the most was Mr. Sean's sentence, and he himself was worried about the day.

What if the day finally comes, and you haven't learned it at home?

What if this day finally comes, and you are not ready to become a team leader?

Winter had been thinking about these two questions in his mind.

Thankfully, that day has not yet arrived.

One year, two years, three years.

Until this day.

Mr. Winter is in his sixth year with the caravan.

For some reason, the water of the Wuyuan River suddenly swelled and diverted, and the caravan, which had no hope of crossing the river through normal means, came to the top of the stone cliff located in the upper reaches of the Wuyuan River, and used the height difference of the ropes on both sides to make a passable ropeway in order to cross the river.

When he suddenly saw a sudden change on the stone cliff during his rest, when he saw the little fat man from the security team stopped in mid-air, when he saw the current captain of the Spices security team being pulled to the bottom of the cliff by an invisible strange force, when he suddenly found that even the old man Sean, who had been silently cultivating himself, was pulled to the bottom of the cliff by that invisible strange force...... When he came back to his senses, he found that all of a sudden, he had reached the "I don't know when" in Mr. Sean's mouth

When he understood, it was time to fulfill his duty.

The caravan had begun to disarray, and Winter felt that he had to do something.
