The youths were over there sacrificing, but Malin did not join them. First, because it had nothing to do with him, and secondly, not all the youths were searching for offerings. Many items of significant historical value found by these youths, such as the diary Malin held, clearly depict the inner journey of a fifteen-year-old girl before the Great Destruction. According to Ling Zuo Zuo, who found it, the diary and many other items were on the first floor of a half-collapsed building, protected by a small stagnation field that was still functioning. Besides the diary, there were many tapes that are played with a tape player. Malin specifically asked Jason and the others and learned that these are nostalgic tapes—similar to the operation of twenty-first-century vinyl, emphasizing a timeless classic. The tape player was not found; however, the diary and other things could still be interpreted. Malin watched as the girls in the diary recorded their daily lives. This was a child born into a middle-class family before the Great Destruction, not living very satisfactorily. After all, the private school’s curriculum was heavy, but this girl understood that in this place in North America, what public schools were like was known to all, and Malin did not wish to comment, just feeling that everyone has their own aspirations, but industrialized education is either stupid or bad. Besides this, the girl was quite sensible, scoring A+ every year. The most important point was that her parents had a very harmonious relationship, none of those melodramatic storied conflicts. And on the New Year’s Day of the last year in the diary, she mentioned that her family had already agreed to travel to Thainan in summer. The girl was extremely happy because she had a Thainan online friend, also a girl, who both had met as opponents in a game and later developed feelings. Apparently, they had video chat before, and both praised the other as a young beauty. Unfortunately, in the final period of the diary, she recorded a major change in her family—her father seemed like a completely different person, coming home late every night, and arguments sporadically broke out between her father and mother. Driven by curiosity, this girl discovered a cult in her city and nearly got abducted—because she had Psychic Talent. The last entry in the diary stopped on July 4th. The July 4th entry only had a small chip. This thing is a small storage chip, though small, it was a top product in the chip industry’s previous generation. Even though new products emerged, this was still top-notch, confirming the wealthy status of the girl’s family from one side. Malin inserted the chip into the player he acquired, which was the most mainstream storage method before the Great Destruction, so there were many players that can play this. After the player started, a girl’s figure was projected in front of Malin. Her first sentence was not good news. · The news from the North made me feel that the world was on the verge of collapsing, as the invading army from another world had already broken through Washington’s line. The Elite armored assault group couldn’t defend Washington, and the National Guard could not hold off those otherworldly monsters. · My friend told me he and his parents had escaped Washington; the sky was not safe, everywhere in the air were those giant flies, disgusting otherworldly creatures, carrying vile and dangerous viruses... but the ground wasn’t easy either, interstate highways were all blocked. Looking out the window at the highway, you couldn’t see the end, some off-road vehicles started to learn to climb over the roads to the primitive world beyond. Father and mother’s conflicts finally had an outcome; father had an old friend in an undisclosed department. Father received the news months ago and always wanted to take us to the Ring of Stars, thinking it would be safer. However, today the Ring of Stars has disintegrated, father’s plan failed, but mother said we still had hope—a large yacht of ours at the Deltaville dock; after arguing with father, mother didn’t think father was worrying unnecessarily, but decided to give this family another hope. Mother used her money to buy a large yacht, secondhand, very cheap. The seller said he wanted to live on the Ring of Stars; it seems he also had a friend in the relevant department, this was originally a good thing, but unfortunately, the Ring of Stars is now doomed. So as long as we can get in the flying car, the highway congestion wouldn’t be a problem. As for the low-altitude flight ban on flying cars, frankly, even the police fled. Here is Lisa Camian, we are preparing to leave this land, our plan is to sail away directly to Westland or Thainan. Father said, even though Thanan people handle things too responsibly, seriously with no humor, in life he doesn’t want to have any contact with them, but at least in this damned moment, Thanan should be the most reliable group in this Union. Michelle Aiden from the opposite balcony is a good person; maybe... I’ll ask my parents if we can take their family along, after all, mother said the yacht is quite big, it should accommodate two families. That said, the girl disappeared. Malin smiled and shook his head—indeed Deltaville is a large port, but when the Spirit fleet arrived, Offshore throughout the Deltaville area was filled with Ghost Ships, and they had to take a long detour to land in Portsmouth.
