Suddenly the candle blazed brightly, emitting a dazzling red light, and the liquid began to evaporate, emitting a pungent odor.
The fat man was injured and began to emit sharp popping sounds, and the speed at which the liquid flowed in continued to increase.
To make matters worse, small insects began to crawl in through the gap that had been opened. They bypassed the candles on both sides and flew straight towards Shen Muyu from the front. Fortunately, the candles left in front of him came in handy, blocking wave after wave of attacks for Shen Muyu.
"This can't go on." Cold sweat kept pouring down Shen Muyu's forehead as his mind raced.
Before long, the fat man slid down the liquid to the driver's side door, and his head began to dissolve as if he was also planning to get in.
Shen Muyu pursed her lips, quickly rolled down the car window, and while the fat man was still in shock, shoved both candles into his mouth.
The candle did not go out after it entered; instead, it began to burn the fat man from the inside. The fat man immediately fell off the car and rolled on the ground, while Shen Muyu's car was also being repeatedly hit.
Seeing the fat man fall, Shen Muyu quickly closed the car window, but in that short time, many insects still managed to crawl in.
Shen Muyu grabbed the candle in front of her and waved it around, but some still managed to slip through and bite her a few times.
Shen Muyu didn't have time to deal with the wounds for the time being. After seeing that most of the insects were dead, he immediately used the car repair kit he had exchanged earlier. In the blink of an eye, the car was back to normal, and even the sticky liquid on the glass disappeared.
Before he could notice the changes, Shen Muyu immediately started the car and drove toward his destination. Perhaps because it was in the city, there weren't as many insects as last time, and Shen Muyu could barely see the road ahead through the gaps in the road.
However, the insects were no longer important at this point. Out of the corner of his eye, Shen Muyu noticed that strange creatures of various shapes were beginning to gather on both sides.
Fortunately, Big White had recovered from its previous state. Upon seeing the various malevolent creatures, it shouted twice, and the creatures began to slowly retreat with resentful expressions.
Seeing its own intimidating power, Big White wagged its tail happily. If it weren't for the rules protecting the guy beneath it, it would have already taken care of things, instead of making its master suffer so much.
Shen Muyu had no time to worry about any of that. She could only run as fast as she could toward her destination. She understood that the longer it took, the more unpredictable things would become.
Finally, with Xiao A's announcement, Shen Muyu stopped, and the insects around the car gradually dispersed.
In fact, in the last few minutes, Shen Muyu was driving almost entirely by instinct. Xiao A's camera was blocked by the insects, and only occasionally would some space be exposed due to the movement of the insects. Shen Muyu was able to safely drive to his destination by looking at those areas.
Shen Muyu looked at the two and a half candles left in front of him and showed a heartache. This special car was indeed not easy to drive. It seemed that the organizers of this instance had increased the difficulty. He wondered how many people could survive.
Shen Muyu picked up the half candle and got out of the car. Now there was no owner to pick him up, so Shen Muyu had to get the wild boar down himself.
As soon as Shen Muyu opened the car door, before he could even speak, Da Bai nudged the wild boar off from behind. Shen Muyu patted Da Bai's head with satisfaction, thinking, "This dog is finally alert to danger!"
The wild boar seemed to have lost its mind; its eyes were open but it didn't move at all. I don't know if this counts as completing the pick-up and drop-off mission.
"Congratulations on completing your order. However, due to the order timeout, a portion of the fee will be deducted. We are currently settling the order fee for you."
Fortunately, after Shen Muyu got on the bus, the brick made the order completion sound. However, this time Shen Muyu only received 100 paper money. If the order fee is fixed, it means that she was deducted 100.
"Can't you set the order duration according to the actual situation? Who can complete it in such a short time!" Shen Muyu was furious at the deducted hard-earned money. She muttered to herself by the window, but she was muttering to herself because she was afraid that the brick would hear her and retaliate.
Seeing that there were still no orders, Shen Muyu took out some bread from the glove box and started eating it. She also poured a bowl of dog food for Da Bai, since it had been more than two hours since she came in and it was time to replenish her energy.
As Shen Muyu swallowed the last bite, Banzhuan received a new order. Shen Muyu wiped his mouth and started the car again.
"We have arrived near the owner. Please let your pet board the vehicle within the specified time."
The place where we stopped this time seemed to be a shop, with a sign next to it that said "Blind Massage".
Shen Muyu lit a new candle and got out of the car, while Da Bai dutifully followed beside her.
Shen Muyu walked to the front of the shop and knocked on the door.
"Please wait a moment." After the person inside said this, there was a rustling sound, and the door was pushed open from the inside after about three or four minutes.
"You must be the one who took the order." An old woman with her eyes closed came out, and next to her stood a large, well-behaved-looking yellow dog.
Of course, this was also the only small animal with a leash that Shen Muyu had seen after arriving in the instance.
"Yes, please get in the car," Shen Muyu replied with a smile, showing no slackening even though the other person couldn't see her.
"Excuse me, young lady, I can't see the road very well." Before Shen Muyu could agree, the old woman groped and placed her hand on Shen Muyu's arm. Although Shen Muyu was wearing a long-sleeved coat, she felt as if a millipede was crawling on her arm.
Shen Muyu trembled involuntarily, but the old woman did not stop and went straight down to grasp Shen Muyu's hand.
Only then did Shen Muyu realize that the old woman's palms were covered with countless fingers.
The strange sensation sent chills down Shen Muyu's spine, and he almost instinctively flung the old woman's hand away.
"Little girl, you don't look down on this old woman, do you?" As if noticing Shen Muyu's movements, the old woman's voice turned somewhat cold and sharp.
"How could that be? It's chilly outside, let's get in the car quickly." Shen Muyu saw the candle in her other hand starting to glow and quickly suppressed her impulse to say.
"I knew you weren't that kind of person, young lady." The old woman smiled upon hearing this, and then, with Shen Muyu's help, walked towards the car.
The fingers holding Shen Muyu's hand remained still, but the fingers in the palm of the hand gently stroked the back of Shen Muyu's hand, making Shen Muyu feel itchy all over in just a few steps.
Before Shen Muyu could even open the passenger door, the big yellow dog beat her to it. After the old woman got into the car, it even opened the back door and jumped in.
Shen Muyu glanced at the big yellow dog and then at the big white dog, then walked toward the driver's seat without saying anything.
