While Kate was receiving critical blows, Egger was also constantly receiving embarrassing blows.
Bill and Joanna were chatting happily, talking about things in the gospel community in the past. Iger could only listen on the sidelines, with an awkward but polite smile on his face, pretending that his character was not broken yet.
The two were talking happily, and Joanna suddenly said to Iger: "Hi, Iger, do you remember..."
Joanna just said a few words when Bill interrupted and said to her: "Joanna, don't you know yet, Oliver lost his memory because of the blood epidemic."
!
Danger!
Egger, who was still a little drowsy at first, suddenly became energetic. As expected, Joanna looked over suspiciously.
A lie must be covered up by a hundred lies, but for some people who get along day and night, there are certain things that cannot be concealed by lies.
Joanna had heard Iger tell her his past stories more than once. When Iger told these things, she never expected that a biological brother would appear in the future.
My dear ones, you might as well stab me to death with a knife.
Bill also clearly felt that something was wrong with Joanna's expression, so he did not continue the topic.
At this moment, a piece of music came from the building's radio, and then a sweet female voice said: "Good afternoon, everyone. Lunch has been prepared. Please come to the dining area on the second floor to dine."
The radio played it twice, followed by a piece of music.
Bill and Kate, who have radio access and often listen to gospel radio, immediately recognized that it was Lily's voice.
After the number of members of the gospel team increased, everyone's daily work was scattered in the fortress, and it was a troublesome thing to notify the meal. Now it is simple, just use the broadcast speaker to play the pre-recorded audio.
In addition to notifications, the loudspeaker is also an extremely important noise inducer. In order to avoid losing the chain at critical moments, it must be sounded at all times.
The savior came from heaven, and Iger had never liked Lily so much.
"Let's go, eat, and talk after dinner." Iger quickly put down the sparkling water in his hand, and then stood up eagerly to lead the way.
After hearing what Iger said, Bill and others put down the drinks and beer in their hands with a trace of reluctance. What delicious lunch can be compared to these things?
More than ten minutes later.
"It's so delicious. I'm sorry, can I add more?" Kate asked sheepishly, holding the dinner plate that had been licked until it was reflective, facing a dark girl.
The girl smiled shyly, then picked up a large spoon and added half a plate of stew to Kate, and added a spoonful of vegetable soup and a few slices of bread to her.
"I also want!"
"Please give me some more, too!"
Naturally, Bill was polite and asked for a second portion.
Lunch is a separate meal system. Everyone can get food when they come. The food is prepared uniformly and distributed by dedicated personnel, and there is no quota.
During this month of wandering around, Bill and his party were naturally full and hungry, and today was their first full meal.
Bill still had a say in the level of this lunch. Except that no beer was provided, it almost reached the standards of a knight.
This standard is already very high. There are less than 20 knights and above in the entire Evans camp. Others, including the retinue Kate, have never had such a sumptuous lunch.
Bill also noticed that everyone took the same food, which means that here, this is the level of lunch for ordinary members.
The evangelical team's resources are so rich that it's a bit exaggerated.
Under the same conditions, people who eat better will definitely have stronger fighting power.
Evans Brotherhood not only has promotions, but also relegations.
There is no example of a person who was reduced from a knight to a coolie to regain his strength and achieve greater glory. There is not a single example.
The reason is very simple. As long as a person is malnourished for a long time, his physical condition will decline rapidly. No matter how powerful a person is, when his physical condition is not enough to support his skills, a strong soldier can knock him down.
It was a pity that Bill did not see Father Locke until the end of the meal. Bill guessed that maybe Father Locke had his own special dining area, just like his uncle.
On this point, Bill guessed wrong.
Father Locke, Sister Maria and Andy, the three of them are huddled in front of the computer and repeatedly considering the lease contract of the farm. There are many details that need to be finalized now.
When formulating these detailed rules, we must not only consider the current situation, but also consider the future adaptability. After all, a loan issue is involved here.
Being so busy, they had no time to eat.
Bill put down the tableware in his hands with a comfortable feeling of fullness. He raised his head and said to his brother: "Hey, Oliver, how about we go for a walk after dinner?"
Iger knew that Bill would have a lot to say to him. It was not normal for brothers to be so cold when meeting. This sentence showed that Bill wanted to spend some time alone with him in private.
The biggest problem for Iger now is that Iger has no information at all about this second brother.
What made him even more confused was that he didn't know how to explain Joanna's side.
Well, let’s continue pretending here.
In fact, Iger never thought about pretending to have amnesia before.
Late that night, the day Father Locke adopted Iger as his godson, Father Locke and Iger had a very private conversation alone.
Gu Zhao
Father Locke opened his heart and told Egger about the past that he didn't know at all. He also told Egger about his worries and changes in his thinking. Finally, it was Egger's turn to speak.
Now Iger didn't know what to say.
I'm afraid there is a very deep misunderstanding here.
However, Egg soon discovered that this misunderstanding was not necessarily a bad thing. Did he have to explain to Father Locke that he was an alien who had traveled through time?
Since you don't believe the truth, let's go with your imagination.
Egger suddenly thought of a trick, just talk about feelings and nothing else, only talk about subjectivity and nothing else.
Therefore, Egger described in detail the pain he suffered during the outbreak of the blood epidemic: high fever, bloodshot eyes, dry mouth, various auditory hallucinations and hallucinations, and an uncontrollable desire for blood.
What Iger told is very true. Once you experience this feeling once, you will never forget it.
Then, Egg raised his head and said to Father Locke: "Godfather, after I woke up that day, I couldn't distinguish between hallucinations and reality for a long time. My brain was also extremely seriously damaged by the blood plague. Many of them were
Everything was forgotten.
My past seems to have been erased with an eraser. I can't remember my previous life, I can't remember my family, and I don't even know myself.
I'm so confused, I don't know if I am the same person now.
Thank you, Godfather. Your serum gave me a second chance at life.
The blood epidemic was like a dividing line, and my life was forever divided into two parts. The part before was Oliver Evans, and from then on, it was Egg Lee."
Father Locke was moved by Egger's remarks. He was really a strong but poor child.
Since this statement was able to fool Father Locke, Iger decided to continue to maintain this persona. Whenever someone asked him something he couldn't answer, he would pretend to have lost his memory.
Of course, Iger can't even talk about wearing clothes. He can't remember anything. This is the most true fact.
It’s just that Iger had forgotten that he told Joanna too many personal things. When he was with Joanna, Iger was particularly unprepared and fell outside.
Is it really because of lust?
During the meal, Joanna had hinted with her eyes that Iger wanted to chat many times, but he pretended to be blind and didn't see it.
Just after the meal, when Bill made a date, Iger immediately took the opportunity to run away.
As if running away, Iger pulled Bill out of the Morgan Building. Standing on the street, Iger asked Bill after heaving a sigh of relief: "Should we just hang out here, or should we go for a walk outside the town?"
After Bill put the leather hat full of dirt and dust on his head, he said to Iger: "Go for a walk outside the town."
"good."
Egger took Bill towards the door.
Obviously, Bill now knows that this fortress has only one entrance and exit.
When he walked to the S-shaped street, Bill heard someone greeting Egg. He looked sideways and saw a woman sitting on a sofa in a store without a door, nodding and saying hello to the two of them.
This woman didn't have a hot figure or outstanding looks, but once Bill turned his eyes, he couldn't look away.
In front of the backroom team leader's sofa is a machine gun position built with sandbags. In the center of the position is an M249 squad machine gun.
The glass windows of the store are covered with a thin layer of reflective film. Due to the poor lighting, the inside of the store is completely invisible from the outside, but from inside the store you can clearly see every move on the street.
This machine gun position equipped with ferocious weapons is a weapon for the gospel team to guard the gate.
One big thing like a squad machine gun is worth a whole box of cans. In actual use, its deterrent effect far exceeds its use value.
It's not that this machine gun isn't easy to use, but it's very easy to use.
Because when a certain weapon is too powerful, its deterrent effect will become stronger.
Of course, the gospel team's guard cannot rely solely on the man sitting on the sofa. Its key guard is the watchtower on the Morgan Building.
The watchtower is equipped with telescopes and firearms. The main duty of the guard is observation, and the secondary duty is security guarding, including warning and shooting away unknown outsiders.
There is an open area of one or two kilometers outside Jixi Town. Anyone who enters Jixi Town has nowhere to hide in the view of the condescending watchtower.
Bill's convoy had been spotted by the watchtower a few kilometers outside the town. They had been monitored by the watchtower even when they stopped on the roadside, and Bill had misestimated the effective defense distance of the watchtower.
Indeed, at that time, Bill's team was about 600 meters away from the observation tower in a straight line. At this distance, few people could accurately hit the target.
But the watchtower in Jixi Town is different. There are two squad machine guns of the same model on the watchtower.
If the one in the shop is the treasure of the gate, the two in the watchtower can be called the treasure of the group.
In order to make it easier for the guards to shoot quickly, Egger asked the internal support team to level the ground outside Jixi Town. Standing on the watchtower and looking down, you can see concentric circles outlined in circles.
You only need to see which circle the enemy is standing on, then adjust the shooting angle of the machine gun and pour bullets there.
After hearing Egger's explanation, Bill broke out in a cold sweat. It was just a coincidence that they chose to park at that location because they were afraid of causing unnecessary misunderstandings, so they were discussing how to enter the city.
It was really an unexpected surprise to meet Iger and Andy.
Bill had overestimated the defensive capabilities of Quick Creek Town, and had overestimated it.
In fact, Bill found that he still seriously underestimated. He had to admit that Jixi Town really deserved the title of "Fortress".
