After chatting with Chen Qiu Ye until the wee hours of the morning, Li Shi woke up the next day to find that his "sequelae" was particularly severe that morning. Perhaps it was because of their conversation last night.
Normally, it would last for about half an hour, but this time, it had gone on for the duration of an entire class.
After washing up, he drove out of his building. He stopped by the area's entrance to eat a large bowl of Jin City beef noodles before heading straight to the suburban activity base.
When passing a small market, he stopped again, bought a large iron lock and some shovel-like tools from a hardware store.
When he reached the activity base, Li Shi didn't rush in. Instead, he walked around the exterior, inspecting the surrounding walls.
The wall, nearly three meters high and coated with cement, topped with shards of glass. After years of weathering, it looked quite old.
He would sometimes step forward and give it a push, finding it to be quite sturdy.
