In the early morning, when the church broadcast rang, Iger was still dreaming.
After being woken up by the wake-up call, Iger endured it for a while with his eyes closed. As expected, the broadcast stopped after a while, so Iger fell asleep in a daze.
When he woke up, Bill and Erica had already led the team and set off.
Since he could not turn over after his broken arm, Iger felt stiff and painful every day when he woke up from bed.
Pushing aside the quilt, Iger got out of bed and stuffed his feet into his untied shoes. He didn't need to wash himself. He yawned and went downstairs to the kitchen, ready to find something to eat.
Egg saw Catherine busy in the kitchen.
Catherine was struggling to wash the dishes with a big belly.
In the past, it was sheer abuse to ask a pregnant woman with such a big belly to clean mountains of dishes.
Now, asking a pregnant woman with such a big belly to clean a mountain of dishes is completely preferential treatment.
This is already the easiest job. People don't particularly care about the cleanliness of the tableware. No matter how dirty the tableware is, let's put it this way, it is acceptable if it is round and round. The tableware is nothing.
Catherine only needs to simply rinse the tableware with water and brush it a few times with a brush. After all, most of the tableware has been licked clean, and there is no chance that there is any oil or other stains on it.
Seeing Egger coming, Catherine quickly stopped what she was doing.
The breakfast had all been eaten. Catherine picked up a can, opened it, patted out the condensation and poured it into a large bowl. Then she picked up a kitchen knife and cut off a large piece of bread and threw it in. Then she put the large bowl in
In the microwave.
As for Iger, Catherine didn't know how to face him. Catherine was among the first group of old people to come to the gospel community. It can be said that she was also the most useless one. She was the last woman among women.
But in the gospel team, no one bullied Catherine because of her abilities, and no one discriminated against Catherine because of her skin color. On the one hand, this is related to Father Locke's leadership style, and on the other hand, it is related to Egger's attitude.
When he first came to the gospel team, Iger stood up for Catherine several times. In the end, he saw that she was really unable to do anything and couldn't be led, so he left it to Sister Maria and asked her to help Sister Maria.
Cooking, as a result, Catherine became a full-time cook.
However, Aige, a man who was so kind to him, killed his husband with his own hands.
Catherine's tears kept flowing when she thought of Thomas.
Is Thomas a good man?
He is not.
Is Thomas a good husband?
Neither is he.
But Thomas is the first person to truly love himself.
In the first few days, Catherine had no idea how she was going to survive. It wasn't until Iger brought her to Ross Town that she finally understood.
"We are all guilty."
"Ding."
There was a soft beep from the microwave. After opening the microwave, Catherine put on insulated gloves and brought out a steaming bowl of breakfast, an extremely luxurious beef steamed bun.
With a stainless steel spoon in his mouth, after taking the hot bowl from Catherine's hand, Egger keenly noticed that there was a wooden cross on Catherine's chest.
This is an extremely ordinary cross, which can be said to be a simple one. It is cut out of a piece of wood that looks like a very ordinary material. This kind of wood is abundant in the wall building outside Ross Town, and it must be leftover materials.
Why was Egger so sensitive to Catherine wearing a cross? It was because after the outbreak of the blood epidemic, in order to reduce the possibility of being caught by infected people, almost no one wore extra jewelry.
Even though Joanna likes to dress up, she doesn't have any pendants on her body. This is the basic understanding of a survivor.
Catherine's cross should be new.
However, this is not a big deal. Basically, Catherine will not go out on the field, so let her go.
Thinking of this, Iger hid in a corner of the kitchen with a big bowl and started eating.
After a while, Iger licked up the last drop of soup in the big bowl. He returned the tableware to Catherine, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and then went out.
The open space outside the church.
This place was originally a children's playground, but now all the toys have been dismantled and piled together. Allen and Peter are training the team members according to the training subjects established by Erica.
Iger watched it for a while and felt that if he continued practicing like this, everyone in the future would be a humanoid forklift.
The American Army seems to pay special attention to strength training, and the Rabbit Army prefers to compete in the 400-meter obstacle course.
Maybe it has something to do with the fighting styles of the two armies.
The American army emphasizes stacking individual equipment to the extreme. Each soldier is already very heavy when fully armed, which requires a high level of personal load-bearing capacity. Not to mention, there are budget geeks who want to equip each soldier with heavy body armor.
, that’s basically Kamesen-ryu.
Since the establishment of the Rabbit Army, the Rabbit Army has been fighting enemies that are more powerful than itself. In the case of all-round disadvantages in the firepower of various weapons and equipment, the first thing soldiers want to emphasize in order to survive is flexibility and the ability to move quickly between positions.
Intersperse and move.
In this situation, it’s hard to say which training method is better.
Having a flexible body can certainly make it harder to catch infected people, but with greater strength, there's no point in escaping. You can just pick up a knife and cut them.
What Iger needs to consider now is not the individual training of the team members, but the issue of leadership.
There are too few people in the reclamation group who are capable of leading the team independently.
Egger counts himself as one.
Bella should be able to do it too, but she said she would rather sit in the rear.
Erica can be counted as one.
Both Bill and Allen are still a little behind. Both of them are people who like to use muscles to solve problems, but when they are captains, the first thing they have to use is their brains.
Pi De looks good, but the problem is that his actual combat ability has not been tested by Egg. I have never seen someone who is very clear-headed during training, but panics when something happens.
Ender's abilities are also good, but his personality is a bit extreme, and he can easily fall into trouble. Of course, if he had not been an extreme personality, he wouldn't have joined the Black Panther Party.
Regarding the Black Panther Party, Iger also knew some things about them. The Black Panther Party of the last century, the Black Panther Party of the late last century, and the Black Panther Party of today are completely different things.
To put it nicely, the current Black Panther Party is a gang that seems to have lofty ideals and pursuits, but in fact has completely failed.
That day, Under was talking nonsense again, and Iger asked him a few questions.
1. What is the root cause of the oppression of black people? Skin color? Race? Or is it because of class status?
Second, what do black people want to resist? Skin color? Race? Or class oppression?
Third, do people of different ethnic groups who are oppressed by class need, can, and should unite?
These three of Aige's are worthy of being asked by heaven, but the ignorant and fearless Under opened his mouth and said, "The reason is..."
Iger immediately interrupted Under and reminded: "Before you speak, let me remind you. Think about how the Paladin became the president and who his opponent was. He was re-elected for 8 years.
, has anything changed?”
Egger's last reminder directly shut up Under, because according to the original logic in Under's mind, there was no way to explain what happened to the Holy Lancer.
MJ betrayed his skin color and race, but the Paladin is still black!
Egger patted the dumbfounded Under on the shoulder sympathetically, and then left alone.
After suffering a mental critical attack, Ender kept saying "You are discriminating against me", but his bad mouth will never get rid of it for a while.
After watching the training, Egg went to the construction site again. The rainy season is about to enter, and the current construction schedule is very tight. Once the rainy season enters, it will be a dream to dig soil easily.
Now that we have enough manpower, the main work is focused on building the wall. Through multi-stage construction, all the planks have been laid, and now everyone is working hard to dig out the soil.
Wreckers were no longer enough, so Lal made several large booms and completed the lifting and rotation of the booms by manually pulling ropes. Although this kind of boom was a bit labor-intensive, it was not much slower than the tow trucks.
.
Egger looked at the big pit in front of the wall. He picked up a wooden board and measured it. It was 2 meters deep and 3 meters wide, which was basically enough.
But Iger suddenly remembered that if it rains, the rainwater will definitely pour in and then there will be no way to drain it out. In fact, this is a moat?
Just when Egger was thinking wildly, he heard the bells ringing from the cathedral.
Iger looked up and saw that the bell was coming from the bell tower.
The big bell in the clock tower has been taken down, but Pide installed a push-button broadcast in the clock tower. As long as you press it, the broadcast will sound.
In order to distinguish it from other sounds, this broadcast sound is specially set to a bell.
The bell rang a few times, then stopped, and then it rang again.
The first bell rings for assembly.
The second time the bell rang was when a stranger approached.
The third bell is an enemy attack.
Egger listened attentively for a while, but if he didn't say it a third time, it meant that a stranger was coming.
