Have you ever thought about what the rider went through during those few minutes when the delivery timeout was exceeded?
Lu Chi is not here to deliver food. He's here to find someone.
Two years ago, my sister Lu Yao disappeared while delivering goods late at night. The police said it was an accident, but he didn't believe it. After two years of investigation, all the clues point to the same place - that APP, that delivery system, and the "non-existent address" that the old riders call it.
He registered as a rider and got the phone.
On the first day, a line of gray text popped up on the APP: "Please abide by the following rules: Deliver on time."
The next day, he received an order to be delivered to an abandoned factory. The delivery fee is 47 yuan. There are only two words in the remarks column: hurry up.
On the third day, he discovered that before his sister disappeared, she left a rule in the APP.
A rule about "the address does not match the actual environment".
From that day on, more and more gray notifications started popping up on Lu Chi's phone. They are disguised as system messages, with no labels and no explanations - you can only guess which ones are protections and which ones are traps.
Guess it right and live to see the next order.
Guess wrong and you are no longer a rider.
You are not even anything anymore.
