RPAGF Chapter 114 The Tragedy of the Final Station (3)
Chapter 114 The Tragedy of the Final Station (3)
The final stop.
This is an important train station in Georgia, consisting of several red buildings where the state's complex railway network converges.
Now only a few trains, now out of power, lie quietly on the tracks, a far cry from the bustling scene of the past.
The words "Terminal Station" are written in black lettering on the wall of the main building of the train station. In front of it is a wide open space with carefully planted flower beds.
At this moment, several women were tending to various beautiful flowers in the flowerbed. They occasionally exchanged a few words with each other, and each of them had a relaxed and leisurely smile on their face. It was clear that this was indeed a peaceful and safe refuge.
...a room inside the building.
When Gray woke up, he opened his eyes to find that it was already bright outside the window, and the warm sunlight shone into the room through the window.
He turned his head and found that the person beside him was no longer there, only the hair and lingering fragrance left on the pillow, which was unforgettable.
After lingering for a moment, Gray got up and went to the bathroom to wash up.
Click...
Looking refreshed, Gray opened the door and walked out of the building.
As soon as he stepped out of the building, he saw an elderly man with gray hair and beard sitting in a wheelchair in the corner, basking in the sun.
On the elderly man's legs, which were covered with a thin blanket, was a simple plate of food: scrambled eggs and toast. On the metal shelf next to his wheelchair was a steaming cup of coffee. Clearly, the old man was enjoying the gentle sunlight and a delicious breakfast.
Good morning, Mr. Brown.
Ge Rui stopped and greeted the old man.
"..."
Old Brown turned his head upon hearing this.
Once his aging eyes recognized the person, a kind smile appeared on his wrinkled, aged face, and he responded loudly in a slightly hoarse voice:
"Oh, it's Gray."
"How was your rest?"
Old Brown was a little hard of hearing, so he spoke very loudly, as if afraid that others wouldn't hear him, but he was a very kind person, and began to chatter on and on:
"I just saw Jessica; she brought me a cup of coffee..."
"What a nice girl, I say, Gray, you're really lucky..."
"Thank you."
Grey smiled and nodded, then asked, "How was breakfast today?"
"Oh, very good..."
Old Brown's attention was drawn back to the food. He forked a piece of scrambled eggs, put it in his mouth, and chewed, a look of enjoyment on his face. He said:
"Mary's egg toast is so delicious, you should go and try it."
"I will, please enjoy your meal."
......
After saying goodbye to old Brown, Gray went straight to the dining area, which was located in a courtyard surrounded by several buildings. There were several flower racks placed at the corners of the buildings, and various fruits and vegetables were planted in the open space.
Discarded fiber optic cable reels were used as dining tables, with large, colorful umbrellas placed inside to provide shade.
The place was already quite lively, with many people sitting in twos and threes enjoying breakfast, while those who had already eaten were busy with their work.
"Good morning, Gray..."
"morning......"
......
Everyone he met along the way greeted him warmly, and Gray responded politely with nods in return.
He felt a sense of accomplishment and great satisfaction looking at everything in front of him.
After the disaster, their family was among the first to flee here and unexpectedly found it to be a very suitable refuge. Later, they took in more people who came to seek refuge, and it gradually grew to its current size.
People nowadays cherish this peaceful life. Everyone takes their job seriously, performs their duties, and is busy with their own tasks.
Several children were having class in the shade of the building, looking attentively and not making a fuss.
There is a teacher in the community who is responsible for teaching children, and she is Jessica, the girl Gray is interested in.
"..."
The beautiful teacher who was lecturing the children seemed to sense something. She turned her head and looked over, her eyes meeting Gerry's.
The two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.
Gary didn't go over and disturb the children's class. He just smiled and nodded to Jessica before walking toward his mother, who was busy at the barbecue stand.
"Darling, come here quickly..."
When Mary saw her eldest son approaching, she immediately greeted him with a smile, "I knew you'd come! I've prepared breakfast for you, eat it while it's hot..."
"thanks Mom."
Gray took the plate his mother handed him; it also contained scrambled eggs and toast.
However, he didn't intend to eat there. Instead, he said to his mother, "Could I have another serving? I'll take it to Wayne."
"certainly......"
“I was just about to ask Alex to take him over, but the kid disappeared in the blink of an eye after finishing his meal. I don’t know where he went to gallivanting off to.”
As Mary spoke, she took out a clean, empty plate and began to serve the food.
"It's the same if I take it."
"Grey replied."
"I just hope Alex can help you as much as possible..."
As Mary spoke, she quickly prepared the food, handed the plate to her eldest son, whom she was most proud of, and added, "Come and get more if it's not enough."
......
Grey carried two plates of food and left, heading towards the community's medical center.
The man they brought back yesterday will be temporarily placed here, while Wayne will stay behind to guard and take care of him.
Knock knock...
Gray arrived at their hospital room. Because he was carrying something, he gently kicked the door with his toe and called out, "Wayne, it's me..."
creak...
Soon, Wayne opened the door to the ward.
"I brought you some food."
Gray smiled and raised the food in his hand, handing Wayne his portion.
"Thank you, Gray."
Wayne reached out and took the plate, then stepped aside to make room for the doorway, saying, "Come in quickly."
"..."
Gray entered the room and saw that the tattooed man on the hospital bed was not moving, so he asked, "Is he still not awake?"
"Always been this way."
Wayne carried his plate to the table, sat down, and began to eat his breakfast. Without looking up, he said:
"However, Dr. Richard said he is out of danger."
Gray also came over with a plate, and the two chatted while eating breakfast.
……
"Uh..."
Just as they were having a lively conversation, the tattooed man who had been unconscious on the bed suddenly groaned and then slowly sat up from the bed.
Gray and Wayne immediately stopped talking and turned to look at the hospital bed.
Hey friend, how are you feeling?
Grey was the first to greet them, trying to keep his tone friendly.
"I... am okay, but my head is still a little dizzy."
The tattooed man answered weakly.
He looked around somewhat blankly, seeing only a clean room, a clean bed, and clean bedding...
"..."
The tattooed man asked, somewhat puzzled, "Where is this?"
"Don't worry, it's safe here."
Gray got up and walked to the bedside, extending his hand in a friendly manner, saying, "My name is Gray, and this is Wayne."
"We don't even know your name yet."
"My name is Jason, thank you for saving me."
Jason, the tattooed man, reached out and shook hands with Gary. He forced a grateful smile, though it looked somewhat out of place because of the tattoos on his face.
