Since the meeting ended, everyone had gathered in the square. When they heard Airon's words, everyone had a happy smile on their faces. This was what the people at the base needed, a few words of inspiration to make their spirits stronger.
"You are the Airon I know, I never thought we would get to this point when I met you." Tyler said with a smile as he looked at Airon coming down from the stage.
"And I never thought that day you decided to follow me, if it wasn't for your computer skills, I wouldn't have been able to pull all this off." Airon greeted his friend, the first one who decided to trust his crazy ideas.
"Let's go eat, long time no see." Tyler smiled and dragged his friend to a table.
...
In a corner of the front row, Rick also came out with Carl and Judith. The family who hadn't seen each other in several days obviously felt better. He probably wanted to make his son happy, so he left the room to participate in this reunion.
Airon also noticed Rick's appearance, and it happened that the other party also looked, the two nodded in greeting mode.
Soon, two people came on stage, they were Andrea and Guillermo. These two people who were not afraid of being in front of the crowd, stood up to act as representatives of this night.
But after all, it's the end of the world, so it can't be too lively, so it was hard to find people with a sense of humor that can convey happiness.
Standing on the stage in costume, Guillermo felt an inexplicable sense of joy. Besides, he usually liked to joke with people, and now there was laughter from the audience even before he opened his mouth.
"Okay, okay, okay, don't make fun of me so much! I'm serious, I'll leave you without meat for a month!"
"Hahahaha!"
"Alright, for those of you who don't know me I'm the captain in charge of managing the food and weapons, so you know who's the one choosing what you'll eat tomorrow!"
The two had a heated scene, and seeing that the atmosphere was almost the same, William directly lowered his hands, with a more formal expression
"Today, this meeting that we don't usually do is to welcome the more than five hundred people who arrived last month, friends from Washington. I hope you feel the sense of home sooner."
"After those great words from our commander, although you won't see him very often, he is the leader of everything we have built. So let me introduce you to the leader of the communication, who by the way right now is trying to take a satellite to make sure of the complete state of the world, Tyler Thorpe."
"How?" Asked Tyler who was pushed by Airon onto the stage.
After that, some people did some activities to lighten the mood. Although it was nothing impressive, no one cared at this point.
When the party was about to end, one person found Airon, it was Abraham.
"Hello, thank you for your hospitality. My name is..."
"Abraham, I know."
Looking at the people behind Abraham, they were all familiar faces, but obviously had different expressions, so he could probably guess everyone's thoughts, but Abraham interrupted the words he was about to say.
"Then you should have heard about where we're going."
"Yes, I probably know..."
"Then let me explain in detail..."
He said again about saving Washington, then looked at Airon silently, waiting for an answer.
Eugene was in a panic at this point. He knew things had come to this point, and he was just one shot away from the truth being revealed, but this place was so wonderful that he had already given up on going to Washington in his thoughts, and now he's nervous mainly because he doesn't know how to face Abraham and Rosita next.
But Airon, who listened quietly to all this, pondered for a moment before speaking slowly. "I was too busy a few days ago, sorry, I didn't have time to deal with this matter, but today is really not the time to talk about it, let's talk about it tomorrow morning, what do you think? If it's as important as you say, I'll consider authorizing a helicopter ride to Washington."
"There are a lot of complex things going on right now, you're military so your skills are in high demand in this place. You should know that we have a lot more than we appear to have and from the defenses you should already know what we are protecting ourselves from."
"We'll have a chat tomorrow, enjoy tonight..."
Just as Abraham was about to ask, Andrea's voice came from the stage.
"Everyone, today's party is coming to an end. Next, we will invite our commander back to say a few last words."
Looking at Abraham with an apologetic expression, the other party also shook his head helplessly, and could only give up for now.
Airon stepped onto the stage, "I really hope everyone is calmer now, I know the feelings that are going through your head right now, so I hope you can feel this place as your home when you think it's time."
"Of course!"
"We are grateful!"
Arion smiled slightly and continued. "Next, our friend T-dog will sing a song to liven up the evening. I hope you all enjoy this day and have a pleasant rest."
As he left the stage, T-dog began to sing a song and then the party finally came to an end, and everyone who was full of wine and food returned to their rooms.
"I thought I'd sing Chief, I almost cried from the excitement." George said with a smile and a camera in his hands.
"What are you doing with that?" Airon asked, a little confused.
"Well, I'm shooting a movie, who can tell? Maybe in the future walkers will be mythological things, so if I shoot a movie my grandchildren can earn a lot of riches." George held the camera without stopping to record.
"Hahaha, then make sure you get some good shots of me."
"Of course, boss."
Airon could tell that everyone seemed to have vented a lot of depressed emotions, and even Rick's spirits seemed to have improved a lot.
"Alright Rick, I don't need you if you can't get out of this dark hole!" Muttered Airon as he saw Rick getting better, in the original story he keeps going due to his son needing him, so he didn't know if it would be the same here.
