Reborn In The Apocalypse: It Had Always Been You Novel - Chapter 122

Chapter 122: A Dilapidated Shopping Mall

It was very strange to see such a mall in this place. It was very eye-catching among the small houses. From the outside, one could tell that the facilities in this mall were very old before the apocalypse.

Su Shanshan stopped the car by the roadside. When she got out of the car, she realized a problem. She had just thrown away the wheelchair. What should she do with Gu Jincheng now?

Gu Jincheng sat in the car and lowered his head in thought for a moment before saying, “Go to the mall and help me find a shopping cart.”

Su Shanshan’s eyes lit up. That’s right, there must be a shopping cart here. She observed the surroundings and only left Gu Jincheng in the car after confirming that there was no danger. She went into the mall alone and was lucky to find a lot of shopping carts on the first floor. This was also thanks to the fact that City K had become a well-known zombie gathering place when the apocalypse broke out. No one had ever dared to come here, which resulted in this place having the most complete and well-preserved supplies.

She carefully found a shopping cart that was not stained with blood in the innermost corner. When she got the shopping cart and imagined Gu Jincheng sitting in a shopping cart with a cold expression, she could not help but laugh.

She pushed the shopping cart outside the mall. It was quiet outside, and it actually made Su Shanshan, who was used to hearing the roars of zombies, a little uncomfortable. She was stunned for a moment before pushing the shopping cart in front of the car and solicitously helping Gu Jincheng open the door. Then she looked at him expectantly.

Gu Jincheng knew what she was thinking. He snorted coldly, reached out to pull apart the two ends of the shopping cart, and turned them into armrests. There was purple lightning in his hand. With a crackling sound, before Su Shanshan could see clearly, the shopping cart had changed drastically. It was successfully transformed into a super cool wheelchair made of iron wire.

“I didn’t expect you to have this ability!” Su Shanshan looked at him in surprise. She wondered if there was anything in this world that he did not know.

After Gu Jincheng sat in the new wheelchair, she put the car into her space for safety reasons. This was the last car in the space. It seemed that she would have to collect more cars along the way in the future.

The two of them entered the mall. The first floor was originally a supermarket. Because City K had fallen when the apocalypse broke out, no one was alive, so the goods on the shelves were still intact. They looked exactly the same as before the apocalypse, but the bloodstains on the ground shattered this fantasy.

Su Shanshan frowned. She guessed that the people from the Southwestern base would be here, but if they were here, it was impossible that no one had taken the food. She wondered if she was wrong, or if there was a reason why they did not take the food.

She glanced at Gu Jincheng in front of her. The two of them exchanged looks and signaled each other to be careful. There was definitely something strange about this mall.

She walked toward the stairway that led to the second floor. The entire first floor was silent. She went forward tentatively until they reached the top of the stairs. There was nothing unusual. Su Shanshan did not let down her guard. She was even more careful.

Conveniently, there was a passageway for disabled people beside the stairs. She pushed Gu Jincheng forcefully up the passageway to the second floor.

The second floor of the mall was filled with all sorts of clothing stores but the clothes were covered in blood and dirt and could not be worn at all. It was not only a matter of aesthetics, but the smell of blood would easily attract zombies. Therefore, in a situation where clothes were scarce, the best way to remove blood stains was to cut off the part of the fabric that was stained with blood.

Humans had already developed the latest material for clothes, so there was no need to worry about having clothes to wear. However, if one wanted to keep warm in winter, one had to prepare a down or cotton jacket.

Su Shanshan and Gu Jincheng walked past the area without looking at each other. The shops were filled with mannequins. Coupled with the blood stains and the bloody palm prints on the glass cabinet, the entire atmosphere was tense.

A gust of wind suddenly picked up, blowing a strand of Su Shanshan’s hair. This wind was very ordinary, but it made Su Shanshan grip the Tang sword in her hand tightly. This was the second floor, and there were no windows around. How could there be wind blowing in?
