A Man And A Child

The next thing Malachi did after starting the car engine was to switch on Mia's phone.

Mia's phone was off because its battery would slowly run out if kept on, so Malachi saw turning it off as a better way to preserve the battery.

There was no charger in the car to charge the phone should it enter the red zone, so Malachi figured turning it off when it was not needed and turning it back on when it was needed was better than letting it passively run down.

A charger to use in the car was also one of the things Malachi kept in mind to look for to acquire should the opportunity present itself.

After the phone turned back on, Malachi immediately navigated through the phone to the map app.

After inputting his location and getting the desired feedback, Malachi placed both hands on the steering wheel and started to drive.

It didn't take long for the car to build up speed as it charged through the road of the ruined city.
