Chen Xin bypassed the entrance of the community and arrived at what used to be a convenience store. He looked up at where the sign lightbox once was; there was nothing left after the fire, not even the metal frame.
Before leaving, the owner of the convenience store had thoughtfully locked the front gate, perhaps hoping that the nation could prevent the impending disaster.
However, whether it was the nation or the world, humanity ultimately failed to stop the catastrophe. The disaster brought by the meteor fall destroyed everything that once was.
Chen Xin tapped on the firmly shut gate of the convenience store with the hiking pole in his hand. The turnstile gate was still sturdy, although it was charred and unrecognizable, it remained in its original form.
When Chen Xin knocked on it with the hiking pole, it clanged but remained firmly locked, blocking everything from outside just like it did in the past.
