How Many Calories In Bean And Ham Soup

+ Walking + Forced return

We almost touched our destiny with our fingers. We have never been so close to Reus. The journey from the 'Church of the end of time' so far has been very fast and fluid, since the highway was pretty clear of vehicles and we have been able to step back to our cars. Except for some scattered marauders on the road, we have not seen any significant horde. When we reached the turning that is supposed to lead us to Reus and we traveled, we've been a big disappointment. We have not traveled very far on this road, as we have come face to face with a huge tunnel. Without leaving our amazement, we have lowered the car and inspected it. The tunnel was awful and impassable to vehicles. Off the highway were also a series of tunnels and trenches. I agree Ivan, which has said they are made to order, with dynamite. Have blown up the road for some reason and I think it is. Gather, and Eduardo and Hans gave me the reason that the military de Reus have done this to cut access to Reus. But is not supposed to be a community that is home to more survivors? It makes no sense that they put out leaflets calling for the evacuation cities and then fly access to the city. After studying all forms of vehicles attempting to pass, we have given up and decided to try his luck highway above, the following detour. We have done so. We returned to the highway and we searched the following output, but this was worse than the last. They had flown well and was impassable from the beginning, because the tunnel had eaten half highway. Apparently, this had more quantity of explosives used, because the hole was tremendous. To make matters worse, off the road and surrounding the artificial tunnel was filled with barbed wire. A few feet from the hole also had more of this and also surprised, as were three marauding hooked on the wire. With his limbs caught in the thorny wire, have not stopped looking at us and moaning with arms raised in our direction until we left the place. Do not have enough to blow the entries have to put barbed wire? Hans has said that we only have one chance. Trying to get to Reus from Tarragona. According to him, other roads are the same and the only one not to be flown is the road between Reus and Tarragona. The reason is to seek access to the city for various reasons (procure the supplies of the other city, clean and secure city if Reus falls, etc) This makes sense, although it is not something you can rely 100 %. Perhaps access from Tarragona have flown too. And we must add all this, that if we make it, we do not see a city "dead" (do not forget what he said Miguel). Anyway, we were unable to reach or Tarragona.

Yesterday at noon, we were driving to Tarragona. We were almost there, when the van driving Eduardo and in which all others are less Bethlehem, Hans and the dog, has stopped short. I've slowed our car and waited to resume the march. We did not know that was the sudden stop. We expected but did not resume seeing progress, we have lowered our car and we have approached the van. Through the window we could see Eduardo, Ivan and Elena were watching Fede, who was huddled in a rear seat side with a hideous face of pain. From outside we could see as Ivan spoke to him and placed his hand on the shoulder of Fede. When we opened the van door, we heard that Fede between cries of pain "It hurts! God is as if they were stabbing me!" . His hands were placed in the womb. As we have, we have taken the vehicle Fede, but could not stand. We lay on the road and told to move as little as possible. But this was impossible, lying on the ground has not stopped writhing in pain. Eduardo has asked you to tell you where it hurt and Fede, pointing to the right lower abdomen, said "It's unbearable. I have a few weeks with discomfort but now ... now is a pain that can not stand ... God ..." . We searched the backpacks painkillers, but nothing we did not have any medication. All drugs were left in the backpack of Esther. That ruling on our ... And on top of our only person who understood medicine, Esther, was not with us. She could diagnose which happened to Fede. We look

about 20 minutes waiting for the pain has calmed down, but it was not. Throughout our stay pending an improvement, only served to further Fede dying. We ended up in alarm when Bethlehem touched his forehead and said Fede "This burning. You have a fever ..." . This is where we had to make a quick decision. Something serious was happening to him and his life was in danger if we did not do something. Wondering what to do, but none of us had the faintest idea. Eduardo was the one who gave the only option at that time: "We must return to where he is Esther. She is the only person we know who you know is happening and give some kind of medication" . All agree, although I know none of us was amused to have to retrace his steps and much less after being so close to our destination. What we had months dreaming we had a few steps from us and now we had to go back. But what was at stake was a life, so we could not choose another option. We soon get on the vehicle and take direction was' The Church of the end times. " It took several hours to get there and when we reached the gate, I told Ivan that Eduardo and Federico take out a car while I went to look for Esther and Miguel. I ran into the building and when I got inside, I saw nobody. I really miss it. Look in the dining room, but saw no trace of any disturbed even robbed. That's when I panic. Something had happened here. Something bad. Between thoughts of "I knew that people could not be trusted, I knew ..." walked around the building, including the upper floors, but there was no sign of anyone. When you download and came to the hall, I found Eduardo Ivan and charged with Fede, still complaining of pain. Bethlehem was also, Elena and Hans. Eduardo said "Where are the people?" and my answer was "No one. The building is empty" . Ivan dropped to Fede and ran to the car. Soon returned, this time loaded with weapons. We gave one to each one and said "There's something wrong and we must be prepared for anything. Let's divide, Eduardo, Stay with Fede, Elena and I are going to look at the work areas and the countryside. Erik, Bethlehem and Hans, look in the church ". With time running out and holding my submachine gun, left the building and went their way to church. This was attached to the morgue and soon arrived at the door. I stuck the ear at the door hoping to hear some kind of sign of life, but the silence was deathly. So quietly, I went to Bethlehem and Hans: "It seems that no one, but as Ivan said, we can not rely, as something strange is happening here. You might have left here in haste, but I doubt it. I will open the doors of the church abruptly and you, Hans, put on my right and you, darling, to my left. When you have opened, aiming and opening fire inside the slightest sign of danger, okay? ". Both nodded and I stepped back a few steps to get a running start and kick the doors. I caught air, the strong grasp submachine gun and started running towards the door. When I was before this, I stretched my leg and kicked him with all my might. A cramp through my leg after the impact, but the doors gave way and snapped open after a loud bang . Then, I pointed my weapon inside and Bethlehem and Hans did the same. What we saw inside left us paralyzed. But paralyzed shame. In the church were each and every one of the members, all looking at us in astonishment. At the end of the room, before an altar with his hands clasped under her chin in prayer position, but with eyes fixed on us, was Miguel. Whole community was there, watching us. And we there, paralyzed and with arms still aloft. In my life I've been so embarrassed. A few seconds passed that seemed like hours, until one of the center seats and shouted someone stood up our names. It was a girl with robe and headed toward us. When he was up with us, saying "Boys! You're back!'s Brother Michael was predicted! ", saw who it was and not leave our astonishment. It was Esther, disguised as a more sectarian." We're two days and already brainwashed? Avoid asking because I was well dressed, and we had an issue preferred, but could not refrain from Bethlehem released him "Esther, what are you so dressed?" . This replied "has given me Miguel. It's coat started, completely smooth. Over time you can get the believer. I am the first person in the community in less than a day gets. Miguel gave it to me after she locked herself to talk to God ... ". I did not leave my surprise to hear that and Bethlehem replied "How can you believe that? That man has mounted a cult taking advantage of everything that has happened and is happening, nothing else. Do not talk to God" . Esther said "I thought so when we arrived. But when we showed you left everything you say is true. He has given evidence. You must see that it is able to do ... then cambiaréis of opinion and give me the reason as will see ... " . Bethlehem saw the intention of wanting to replicate and I also I wanted to refute, but Federico was dying in another building and there was no time to lose, so I told them "We'll have time to talk about this, but now is not the time. Esther, Fede is sick and we need to have a look. Do not know what happens. Follow us ". Esther asked what happened but I started running towards the main building and three of them followed me. Around the corner we came face to face with Ivan and Elena. Ivan asked" Where are all disturbed? " but we do not answer. When we entered the funeral hall saw Eduardo with Fede, who was on the floor face of suffering. Esther squatted next to Fede and started asking questions about where was the pain and how was this. While she was into that, Eduardo and Ivan looked at Esther's outfit with face surprised. Ivan gave me a gesture and pointed to Esther, but did not answer.

When this just to ask questions of Federal, turned around and told us "You inflamed appendix, or appendicitis. In the room I have antibiotics and antiiflamatorios, but will not be enough, should be corrected surgically. If we do not The swelling will go to more and you'll produce a peritonitis, which is to be your appendix burst, then die. I've been to surgeons for operations of this type but I've never done one. not if I could do it alone ... " . We told you have to do if we have a better option. Eduardo says to ask the community if someone who once exercised a surgeon, but Michael's voice has spoken. Was behind us with a lot of members of the community. says "Be welcome back, brother. Volveríais knew God told me. He has plans for you. While I personally did not expect an arrival so ... so strange. We have caught in the middle of the daily mass. In response to what you said, Edward, sorry to say that the church members reject any kind of medicine and surgery. The reason is that we believe who you time comes, he comes, and God alone decides this, Therefore, it is useless to try to heal it if God has chosen a destination for that person. Anyway, here we have nothing prohibited. The only two things that are forbidden here are killing and perversion, so if you want to find a doctor under the roof of our little church, you are free to do so. As if Sister Esther wants to help, feel free to do the same, no one judged. The most we can do about it habilitaros the old autopsy room for there you carry out this operation. There you have different material such that I can help. But I have advised you, if God has plans for that boy, no use alarguéis suffering unnecessarily. Well, I acondicionaros few Room for you, since I assume that you will stay a while. What you need, asking us ". None answered and when I pass by Fede, bent down and place your hand on the face, said" Peace, brother. Do not be afraid. God has you in his plans . After that, it's gone and all those present have begun to wander through the halls or going abroad. Only have been, a part of us, Mary and Juanca. Both have Mary approached and gave me a hug. She said "They're crazy, but harmless. The only danger being able to live with them is that they are heavy to attend his masses, but I always shirking that I can ... Glad to see you again, Erik ".

Fede After carrying on a couch, have been two members of the community and, tentatively, we were told we had our rooms ready. We have been together and the first we Fede left. Esther has been with him, providing some pills. The next room was for Ivan and Elena (Ivan is mad at the obligation to stay here), the other shared between Hans and Edward and the last to Bethlehem and me. The truth is that the rooms are very comfortable and with a detail that I value: lock. Although the rooms are very comfortable, a chill runs through me think that these rooms were funerals.
We recently stayed in your room since yesterday. We have not stopped since. Esther, Maria and Elena are working in the autopsy room to acclimate to the operation and cleaning material used. They are doing it in a hurry, since according to that Esther is a matter of time before you drill the appendix and then things get too complicated and Fede die. This can happen at any time, so no time to waste. Ivan and Edward are going to the hospital from the nearest town, which has given us the location Miguel. The reason is that we need to be more sterile and dose of sedative to sleep Fede. Tomorrow early will get the material. In addition, Hans has spent all morning looking for a community member who has been a surgeon or at least have an idea of \u200b\u200bhow to carry out an operation. To our amazement, found three, which have refused to participate in the operation! Have argued that religious reasons can not help. Tiny children of a bitch.

Today I tried to talk to Esther about his decision to join the religious community. I'm down to the autopsy room, where he is working on cleaning up the material. She was alone, so it was a good time to address the issue. But I said something that upset me and made me forget I wanted to talk to her. His words were: "Erik, I need you to help me and you Bethlehem in the operation. As I said, I'm not a surgeon, so I'll need any assistance while performing surgery. You must be with me and do what I tell you.'s life depends on us Fede, so count on your help ... " . Did we help in surgery? We have no idea of \u200b\u200bmedicine! I have not even said to Bethlehem, but if me and horrifies me the idea of \u200b\u200btaking so much responsibility, I can not even imagine it ... Anyway, I will do my utmost best. At least, I'll try. Tonight it informs Bethlehem and tomorrow morning I will try to talk to Esther about its rapid conversion to the religion of this bunch of morons.
