Leviathan’s attack and the waves had done a huge amount of damage to the shopping center, and it seemed like the Merchants had interrupted the efforts to shore it up and rebuild.
Oh yeah, I remember the mall’s last appearance, besides the previous chapter, being when Taylor took note of it while chasing after Leviathan.
Construction equipment had been left behind and bore the decorations of the same hooligans that had hotwired and taken them for their own use.
I’m not sure I want to know what the Merchants do with this sort of equipment.
The bulldozer closest to me had been spray painted in hues of purple, blue and red, and it had bras, children’s toys and defaced flags strung around it, among other things.
This poor bulldozer…
Clothes racks from one of the clothing stores in the mall had been tied crudely to the scoop and the jutting parts had been clubbed into rough points, as if they thought they could use the vehicle to run into people and impale them.
Eesh. Custom assault vehicles, sort of.
