"You have a new takeout order, please process it in time."
The mechanical female voice echoed in the narrow car, and Chen Mo subconsciously glanced at the rearview mirror. A slightly tired face was reflected in it. The helmet was pressed a little low, covering most of his eyebrows and eyes, only revealing a pair of bloodshot eyes from staying up late for a long time.
"This system is broken, the order is stuck." Chen Mo cursed, and his fingers quickly slid across the scratched screen.
This is an order for a high-rise luxury home sent to "Splendid Garden". There is only one line in the note: Hurry! No matter what happens, it must be delivered! I'll double the shipping fee!
Double? Even ten times the price is useless. It is the evening rush hour now, and the roads in the old city are as blocked as a pot of boiled porridge.
Chen Mo turned the accelerator, and the electric tricycle under him made a "crunch" in protest. Carrying the steaming steak in the insulated box, it slipped into the gap in the traffic like a slippery loach.
The sky turned dark at some point.
It's not the darkness covered with clouds, but a strange dead silence, as if thick ink had been splashed on it. The originally noisy city noise had a momentary interruption at this moment.
Chen Mo looked up.
Deep in the gray-black sky, a scarlet meteor was dragging a long tail flame, falling straight down at an angle that defied common sense in physics. It grew larger and larger until it occupied the entire field of vision, like a bloodshot eyeball staring intently at the city.
"Fuck..."
Chen Mo instinctively squeezed the brakes.
The tricycle slid sideways under the influence of inertia, its tires screeching against the ground.
