After the early morning sunlight finally shone in through the window, Egger stretched.
His left arm is still splinted and bandaged, but this does not prevent the left hand from carrying out limited activities. Without increasing the load on the upper arm, the left hand can be placed on the table and the elbow can be used as a round point for activities.
There is a large and comfortable table and chair in this bedroom, next to the window, with very good lighting. There is an open thick Bible on the table, and a notebook that is one size smaller but equally thick.
Egg is copying the Bible.
This is a method that Iger used when he was learning e-writing. You can practice vocabulary and e-writing composition at the same time, that is, copying.
He usually starts copying from the text, then short articles from Crazy e-text, and finally Ige starts copying popular e-text novels.
The advantage of this habit is that Iger can read and copy it at the same time, and his e-text level has improved very quickly. The disadvantage is that he is in a hurry and has no formal training, so Iger has created his own e-text writing. He writes in large letters.
I wonder what it would look like if the Americans invented the Chinese square script's continuous writing.
The result is that Iger's e-text writing is a mess, and no one else can recognize the e-text he writes except himself.
To pick up the spelling of e-text, Iger knew that the fastest way was to keep writing, so he thought of his old method of copying books.
The Bible in my hand is just right for copying.
Egger had never read the Bible before, and it was only when he copied the Bible that he discovered that he originally thought the Bible was like a Buddhist scripture or a Taoist and Confucian scripture, but it turned out that it was not.
The words in the Bible are very simple, and most of them are short stories, which are quite interesting.
In this way, Iger kept copying from getting up until the sun came up. Then he put down his pen, stretched out, and went out to find something to eat.
Catherine was not seen in the kitchen. Joanna was directing a group of cooks to work in the kitchen. Egger walked over and took advantage of his position as head of the group to be shameless, picked up a piece of fresh bread and started to nibble on it.
"Where's Catherine?" Iger asked casually.
Joanna didn't even look at Iger. She was very busy. It was not an easy task to prepare meals for dozens of people.
"Catherine is in the delivery room outside. She is about to give birth." Joanna said casually to Iger.
"What? Where?" When Iger heard this, he forgot to chew the bread.
Catherine was about to give birth. Iger counted on his fingers and realized that there was not enough time.
The gestation period of pregnancy is 40 weeks. According to 4 weeks and 1 month, it is what people often call a ten-month pregnancy.
It's only mid-April now, and the blood epidemic broke out in early September last year. So by all means, it's only been less than 8 months.
There is only one truth: Catherine was pregnant before the blood epidemic broke out.
This can explain Catherine's frequent anxiety for no reason. She was anxious about her pregnancy.
Catherine didn't know if her pregnancy would be abandoned by the team as a burden after her pregnancy was revealed, let alone how she would raise the child even if she gave birth to it.
No wonder Catherine can't do this or that. A pregnant woman can't work like a donkey.
No wonder Thomas made some small plans and Catherine followed him. For Catherine, having a man to rely on was extremely important.
Then, Thomas should also know that the child in Catherine's belly was not his, but he didn't know whether he knew it from the beginning or only after he transferred from the field team to the internal team.
After thinking about this, Egger suddenly felt that Thomas was pitiful and great, and he exuded the light of environmental protection. But why did you do such an unforgivable thing?
Giving birth to a child is a big event, a life-threatening event.
Although he knew that Dr. Bella had made all preparations, Egger still felt uneasy.
After going to the church door and asking the security personnel on duty, Iger knew where the delivery room was.
This is a house on the edge of the center of Ross Town. The garden at the door has turned into a primitive grassland, and all kinds of weeds have eliminated the delicate flowers and fine lawn grass.
There was a female security guard with a gun sitting at the door. When she saw Iger coming, she stood up and saluted.
There was no need for the female security guard to introduce the situation. Egger had already heard Catherine's painful screams.
Someone has said that everything in human civilization is based on women's pain.
This statement is absolutely true.
The human skull is really too big. Even if the baby's skull is not fully developed, it is still too big. The huge skull brings great pain to human birth and also brings extremely high risks.
With the help of modern medicine, the safety of women's childbirth has been greatly guaranteed, but now, everything seems to have returned to a few centuries ago.
Iger even knew why Bella needed a separate delivery room and arranged for a security guard with a gun.
These are preparations for the aftermath.
Iger did not go into the delivery room. It is said that it was popular in the past for husbands to accompany their wives to give birth. As a result, the wife was fine, but the husband had big problems.
The vast majority of husbands suffer from severe depression and anxiety after witnessing their wives giving birth. This heartbreaking pain can be contagious to others.
Egger said to the armed security guard, "Notify me if you have news," and then left.
Hope it's good news.
On the delivery bed, Catherine felt that she could no longer hold on. Although Dr. Bella had extensive surgical experience, she had no experience in obstetrics. In this regard, she was not as experienced as the female member next to her who had given birth to a child.
Who the hell does a military doctor do the job of delivering babies?
Catherine clutched the cross on her chest tightly, and she remembered what Sister Alison had said to her.
"We are all guilty! God!!! Please forgive me!!!"
Following a roar from the soul, Dr. Bella shouted happily: "It's out, it's out!"
A baby's cry came from the delivery room.
Catherine, who was covered in sweat and almost exhausted, raised her hand with difficulty, put the cross in her hand to her lips and kissed it gently. Her body and soul felt an unprecedented sense of relaxation.
Catherine's tears slid down her sweaty face.
…
Egg, Allen and Peter are in Kate's auto repair shop. They are planning how to transform it into an industrial workshop. To put it simply, after Allen used Vance's production workshop in Quick Creek Town, he found it very useful, so
He proposed to build an identical production workshop in Ross Town.
Of course, Iger didn't understand this aspect. He was just listening. Allen pointed at the car repair shop and kept gesticulating to Pide. He said to Pide that this needs to be renovated and that there needs to be remodeled. Anyway, after listening to it, it felt like the whole
The repair shop needs to be renovated.
Kate was not here. She took the transport team to pull goods. Iger felt that Allen should not make the decision alone on this matter. Kate was very fond of this auto repair shop.
Kate is the mixed-race descendant of Slavic immigrants.
After the end of the Cold War, a large number of Slavs immigrated to America. They gave their only wealth to the smugglers and dreamed of finding their dreams in this land.
The cruel reality is that many years after the Slavs came to America, many of them still can only be neighbors with Brother Nei and Lao Mo.
There is a characteristic of Slavic people's body shape, especially women, they are rich in King Kong Barbies.
Let's put it this way, Allen might have been able to beat Kate before, but now that he is injured, he may not be able to beat Kate.
In line with the idea of peace being the most important thing, Iger persuaded Allen and suggested that he wait for Kate to come back and discuss it with her first.
In the afternoon, Kate excitedly walked into her beloved auto repair shop.
When Kate went out today, she knew that Catherine had entered the delivery room to give birth, so she specially found and brought back a lot of baby milk powder from the shelves of the underground supermarket. In addition to the stage 1 milk powder that was needed right now, there were also stage 2 and stage 3 milk powder.
These milk powders are not only for Catherine's children, but also for her future children.
As a woman, Kate is naturally very concerned about raising children, but Bill is not mentally prepared for this.
When Kate came to the auto repair shop, she saw Iger at first glance, then Peter, and then Alan.
Kate immediately sensed what might be happening.
I saw Kate walking to the tool wall in a few steps. She scanned it from top to bottom, and then walked to another mechanical operation room and walked around carefully. She didn't react passively when she saw anything. She felt so good now.
Relax.
Later, Allen proposed to convert it into a military factory. As expected, Kate firmly opposed it.
Just when the conflict between the two was about to become irreconcilable, Kate suddenly said to Allen: "Alan, I know where the machine tools you need are."
Machine tool? Allen was dubious when he heard it. This thing is a rare commodity.
Kate said to Allen: "According to reliable information, there is an underground arsenal in the slums of Puduo City. Many of the automatic weapons circulating on the black market are made by them."
This news also shocked Iger. America, with so much military virtue, actually needs an underground arsenal?
Then he figured out that this was determined by market demand.
Although it is legal to buy guns in America, for gangs, the use of civilian firearms is still a bit out of reach.
Gangsters prefer firearms that can pour out large amounts of bullets in an instant.
With market demand, there is power for production. Using modern technology to manufacture mass-produced firearms of the last century is as easy as asking college students to do elementary school homework.
Kate overheard Nicholas lamenting there today that there was an underground arsenal found in the ruins of the slums in Puduo City. No wonder he felt that Puduo City had become increasingly unsafe in recent years.
After hearing the news, Allen suddenly became excited. If he could get those machine tools, even those that had been burned by fire, the arsenal could start working.
Later, Alan followed Kate to the city of Puduo to pan for gold.
