It turned out that we were heading toward downtown City A where all the expensive condos were. The first and last time that I had been here, the place looked vastly different. The Riverside area that I remembered from my last life was old and run down with graffiti written all over the outside of the buildings. There were chain-link fences that ran up the buildings, even those with more than 30 floors. The smell of unwashed bodies and despair filled the air. It was considered to be one of the most desirable safe zones in this area that the average person could go to. Mind you, the rich still had their gated communities and their own men to guard them day and night.
What I saw in front of me was nothing like that. I looked out the front window of the SUV as Wang Chao waved at the security officer as he opened the gates that lead to the condos. Huh, I had always assumed that those gates were installed after the end of the world.
