Chapter 168: Apocalypse: Zombie Era (7)
In the second month of the apocalypse, on a highway filled with car wreckage, a car sped by.
The windows of this car were covered with layer after layer of wire mesh, ensuring that the approaching zombies wouldn’t be able to reach their claws inside. Above the car, there was a sunroof with a camera protruding from it. To ensure detection from all angles, four cameras were strategically placed.
Inside the car, Gu Chengbei faced four scenes from different directions. He had personally installed an alarm system, which would automatically warn him if a zombie approached too closely. However, he wasn’t focused on monitoring it and instead skillfully assembled an MP3 player.
His hands were fast. Although he had never dealt with this kind of thing before, he quickly deduced the general structure by dismantling the parts. Soon, the broken MP3 player that had been found was repaired by Gu Chengbei.
After testing it, he smiled with joy and handed it to the little girl sitting silently behind him. “Yue Yue, listen, there’s sound now.”
Yue Yue’s blood had been wiped off her face long ago, and Gu Chengbei had also tended to the wound on her forehead. Now, her delicate and lovely face, like pure snow, was revealed.
However, perhaps due to the trauma she had experienced, she rarely spoke and often had a lack of cheerfulness on her face. Her eyes were pitch-black, except when she looked at Ji Jiaqi, where a childlike dependence and obedience would show. Otherwise, she remained silent, sitting in the car and observing the outside world.
Gu Chengbei liked children and felt distressed by the incident where she had almost been abused by scum. Throughout the journey, he always tried various ways to make her happy.
When they were clearing the blocked road and came across this MP3 player, Gu Chengbei noticed that the little girl sitting in the car was staring unblinkingly at the MP3 player nearby. So, he deliberately picked it up for her.
