The Mannerheim Line Welcomes You (10)
The woman across the square table asked several more questions, including why he had appeared here, whether he had any accomplices, whether he was a communist, and so on... Zhang Heng answered them all. He had not simply been wandering aimlessly through the forest these past few days; he had considered how he should handle a situation like this.
As a result, the woman questioning him could not find any obvious flaws for the moment. During their conversation, Zhang Heng also learned some information, such as the woman's name. Her name was Maggie, and she was a surgeon. In this era, the women's rights movement had improved women's status to some extent, but female surgeons were still exceedingly rare. After completing her studies, Maggie had been forced to leave her own country. She had lived in Sweden for a long time before later taking a position at a hospital in Finland.
When the war broke out, she had not chosen to leave. Instead, she stayed and became a volunteer, the only medical worker in this guerrilla unit. As for the Little Mustache Aki she had mentioned earlier, he was a lieutenant responsible for commanding the guerrillas.
After finishing her questions, Maggie gave Zhang Heng a sidelong glance and said lazily, "I know what you want, but I can't make that decision. Go wait where you were staying before. I'll tell Aki everything I heard."
Zhang Heng did not leave immediately. Instead, he asked, "How is she?"
"You mean that girl... She was brought back in time, and the surgery went well. I gave her some blood, and a shipment of antibiotics from Sweden arrived the day before yesterday. She'll be fine. She should wake up tomorrow morning." Maggie did not look up.
