The night was as dark as ink, and the icy rain mixed with the chill of early winter hit Lin Mo's face hard.
"Zila——"
The old battery car let out an overwhelmed groan, and finally became completely silent after climbing up a steep slope.
Lin Mo's heart also sank.
He glanced at the map on his mobile phone and saw that there were still three kilometers to go before his destination, "Yunding Tianhu Villa No. 1". At the top of the phone screen, a dazzling red battery warning is already flashing.
"Damn, it was just close!" Lin Mo cursed in a low voice, and the cold rain slid down the broken hair on his forehead and flowed into his eyes, making him feel sour.
This is no ordinary takeaway.
The order notes read: "Must be delivered before 12 midnight, tip 2,000 yuan!"
Two thousand!
For Lin Mo, a poor student who works hard to deliver food every month and only has 3,000 yuan left after car damage and rent, this amount of money is almost half a month's living expenses.
Just half an hour ago, he received a "luxury order" distributed by this system, and the customer service even called him with numerous instructions, saying that this "Mr. Zhao" was a big V customer of the platform and must serve him well.
But now, the battery car has stopped working at this juncture.
I glanced at the time, it was 23:45.
Lin Mo gritted his teeth, unloaded the heavy takeout box from the car, put it on his shoulders, and decided to run.
The rain quickly soaked through his thin coat, and an icy chill penetrated his bones, but he did not dare to stop.
The medical expenses of his parents and the tuition fees for the next semester weighed on his heart like mountains, making him breathless.
He must deliver!
