Driving through streets unfamiliar yet familiar, Chen Xin came to a stop at an intersection, pulling out a small binocular from the car to peer at a small building by the roadside.
The building was located at the corner of the intersection, an L-shaped three-story structure, with considerable land space.
The first floor used to be a street-facing shop, now charred black on the outside, yet the glass at the entrance and the metal security door were somewhat luckier than others. Although also charred, they remained intact, allowing a glimpse into the shop's relatively intact interior.
As for the second and third floors, the windows were all fitted with security grilles, also charred black, rendering it impossible to see the inside.
This was the house of a friend from Chen Xin's survival group. The first floor was her outdoor gear shop, the second and third floors were an archery range and a gym. Fully equipped, but only open to members, not the public.
