Chapter 107: Chapter 110 Selection
The snow is still falling.
There were still small snowflakes falling on the car body and windows.
Maybe a car would be a good landing spot for a snowflake.
Car roofs have the same properties as trees and are prone to snow accumulation.
But for snowflakes, at least the roof is not an ideal landing spot.
This is a moving car.
Driving at a speed of about fifty or sixty miles per hour, it was not fast, but with the wipers shaking continuously, it was enough to instantly change the way all the snowflakes falling on the car body changed their existence.
The large temperature difference between inside and outside caused a thin layer of frost to form on the windows of this green SUV.
Although Karl had only wiped it for a short time, Karl wiped it again with his palm.
This way you can see the scenery outside the car window clearly.
Although it was monotonous, Carl had seen many similar ones, but it was not boring.
Whether it is boring or not is caused by mood, not the scenery.
"Carl, no matter how many times you wipe it, it's still going to frost over," said Sean, who was driving the car.
"Yeah, I know." Carl nodded.
There was no one else in the car except Carl and Sean.
There is no need to fight this time, at least not unless there are unexpected events, so there is naturally no need to bring so many people.
"How far is it, town? Are you sure you remember it correctly?" Carl asked.
Sean smiled helplessly, "Carl, this is the third time you've asked me this, and that's not like you."
"But you can understand that, can't you?" Carl laughed.
"Of course. Actually, I'm not much more upset than you. Do you know what your mother likes? What kind of gift should I choose for her?"
Carl narrowed his eyes slightly.
Sean was stunned when he saw no response, and then he said after a while,
"I'm sorry, Karl, I didn't mean to provoke you. I just don't know if you can understand that this is probably the first time I give her a gift, so I'm actually very nervous and excited."
"Well, I can understand because this is also the first time I'm planning to give Beth a gift. I don't blame you, but I just feel a little uncomfortable for no reason."
"I'm sorry, I will try my best to take your feelings into consideration in the future." Sean said sincerely.
Karl nodded and shook his head, "Actually, you and my mother are together, which is already a very good result. Well, at least judging from the current situation, I don't think there is anything wrong with it subjectively, but it may just be a little difficult to accept emotionally. Just don't act too intimate in front of me."
"I'll keep an eye on that. Sorry, Carl."
"No, it's okay, you don't have to apologize. Can I ask you a question?"
"Sure, whatever it is."
Carl hesitated and asked, "Before the disaster, there was something between you, me and my mother..."
Sean hesitated for a moment, then said with certainty, "No, absolutely not, Carl, I can swear that nothing happened between your mother and me before the disaster."
"Yeah." Carl chose to believe Sean.
Then the interior of the car seemed a little dull, and Karl wiped the window again and looked out.
As the first building appeared on the side of the road, Carl knew they had arrived.
Continuing driving and passing buildings, Sean didn't see any zombies on the road, so he stopped the car.
"There weren't that many zombies around here to begin with. After we cleared them out, there shouldn't be too many. But we still shouldn't take it lightly."
Sean picked up his weapon and gave Carl instructions before getting out of the car.
Karl nodded and opened the passenger door. The car was parked on Karl's side of the street, and in front of it was a jewelry store.
Well, that's what Carl came here for, to pick out a gift for Beth.
Well, at Christmas, children always receive presents.
When Carl told Sean about this, to Carl's surprise, Sean agreed very readily.
Sean walked up to Carl with the Desert Eagle in his hand and said, "I'll go in first and take a look. Can you keep watch?"
"Of course." Carl nodded.
Sean slowly pushed open the glass door and walked in.
It was only about a minute or two, and there was no movement inside. Then Sean's voice came.
"Safe, Carl, come in."
Carl walked into the store holding the Glock. It was a small jewelry store with some glass display cabinets arranged in a circle, but there was already a thick layer of dust on them.
There are also some accessories on the walls and shelves in the middle. Well, it looks like a normal jewelry store.
If you ignore the bloodstains on the ground and the broken glass display cases.
"I found two pistols here some time ago. As for these things, I didn't care about them. It's a pity that I didn't think about it at that time." Sean said.
"It's not too late now." Carl walked closer to a broken glass display case, which was empty. After walking a few steps forward, Kevin found a piece of jewelry that had been missed among the glass fragments.
A golden ring.
Carl raised his eyebrows slightly. It looked like it was made of gold. No wonder the jewelry in the display cabinets were taken away. It should have been taken away when the disaster just broke out, or shortly after the outbreak.
If it were today, only the survivors who have a carefree life and a safe camp, who are well fed and safe, would have the time to think about these material things.
Carl didn't take it. First, it was among the glass fragments, but that wasn't the point. The point was that the style was very old-fashioned and Carl didn't think Beth would like it.
"Hey, Carl, what do you think of this?" Sean found a big gold chain from somewhere.
"It suits you very well. Besides, if nothing unexpected happens, it should be fake. Of course, the material doesn't matter now."
Karl responded calmly and continued to look for his target.
Fortunately, this jewelry store does not only sell "gold" jewelry. Well, many other ordinary jewelry are still preserved.
Sean was also looking around, his eyes kept darting around, and at the same time he talked to Carl,
"Hey, Carl, I actually want to ask you some questions. Why do you have a special liking for that Beth, and you're only eleven years old."
"When I was in the first grade of elementary school, some classmates were already in love." Karl said lightly.
"Damn, are all kids nowadays so precocious? No, Carl, I know what you said, but it's not the same, they just imitate because of fun and curiosity.
But you are different, Carl. You know, some things about you are really obvious. In the past few months, you have delivered milk to Beth every morning and have never been absent. Anyone who is not a fool can see it.
By the way, the lady's watch on your hand, is it Beth's? Did she give it to you? So you want to return the favor? And I also heard that Beth broke up with Jimmy, and Jimmy thought it was because of you."
Carl stopped immediately and looked at Sean, narrowing his eyes slightly, "What did Jimmy say?"
"Jimmy seems a little upset, but he doesn't hold too much resentment. I don't think he feels nearly as much for Beth as you do."
Carl nodded and continued looking for jewelry that he thought Beth would like. As for Sean's chattering, Carl selectively ignored it.
Karl stopped and said, well, she should like this.
