Chapter 15: Electric Flight

When the plane slowly descended, preparing to land at Modu International Airport, Kelly looked out from the business class window and was greeted by a massive modern city.

Skyscrapers stood like a forest, with glass facades glittering blindingly in the sunlight.

On the crisscrossing overpasses, traffic flowed like rivers, resembling veins that delivered vitality to every corner of the city.

It wasn't Kelly's first time in the "Eastern Metropolis," but it had been a full ten years since her last visit.

In these ten years, she had almost traveled to every corner of the world.

She had been to the bustling Tokyo and Seoul, strolled down the Champs Elysees in Paris and the Ancient Colosseum in Rome;

She had chased sunsets on the African savannah, explored ancient relics in the rainforests of South America, and witnessed the hardships of the native people in Southeast Asia.

Ten years ago, the world was still a place of prosperity and growth.
