Upon receiving the blueprints, Shen Muyu immediately manufactured a car fan using both materials.
The fan isn't small, about the size of a six-inch cake, and it has a USB plug on the back so you can plug it directly into your car.
However, the wooden fan was heavy and noisy, and the wind speed was much slower than that of the plastic fan, so Shen Muyu decisively chose the plastic fan.
A refreshing breeze kept blowing on her face, and a look of satisfaction appeared on Shen Muyu's face. Although it wasn't as refreshing as air conditioning, a breeze in the stuffy space was still very comfortable.
"Little A, remember to wake me up at 6:30 tomorrow morning," Shen Muyu said after hanging up a few car fans in the online store.
However, this time, the materials she set for trading the fan did not include wood; they were all other, rarer basic resources. After all, she was already overflowing with wood blocks from selling toilet paper. If it weren't for the fact that items traded in the mall could not be retrieved, she probably would have been overwhelmed by wood blocks long ago.
"Yes, Master." Little A responded immediately. As an in-vehicle AI, she didn't need to rest and was definitely the best alarm clock in this world.
Shen Muyu slightly opened the car window, turned the fan to the side, and reclined the seat to sleep.
Around two or three in the morning, a rustling sound suddenly came from outside the car. The sound came through the car window, and Xiao A immediately came out of sleep mode after hearing the noise.
"Master, Master, wake up! There seems to be some noise outside!" Little A immediately called out to remind him.
As soon as the electronic voice sounded, Shen Muyu immediately opened her eyes.
Neither Shen Muyu nor Xiao A spoke, and the rustling sounds outside became even more pronounced.
Without further hesitation, Shen Muyu immediately started the car and turned on the headlights. He saw several large figures rapidly approaching from the front.
Perhaps the light startled them, for they suddenly sped up and were right in front of him in just a few seconds. Only then did Shen Muyu realize that they were actually large rats.
Swallowing hard, Shen Muyu immediately drove off, hitting several large rats along the way. The thuds made her afraid the rats would damage the car.
Not long after, Shen Muyu shook off the rat behind her, but she didn't dare to stop. Instead, she drove forward for a long time. Fortunately, she drove into a wide tunnel, otherwise the rat would probably have gotten on the car by now.
As a northerner, Shen Muyu had never seen such a large rat before. It looked as big as an adult Samoyed. When it rushed towards the car, the hairs on Shen Muyu's body stood on end.
Shen Muyu, leaning back in her car seat, closed her eyes, but she didn't fall asleep. Her hands were still gripping the steering wheel. Whether it was a sixth sense or not, she felt that the rats would follow her.
As she expected, the rustling sound reappeared not long after. Shen Muyu stopped driving and realized that a chase would be too disadvantageous for her; it would be better to just get rid of these rats.
Shen Muyu turned the car around and rushed towards the rats coming from the opposite direction. There weren't many rats, only about a dozen, and they varied in size, but the smallest was about the size of a basketball.
Shen Muyu observed carefully and, seeing nothing else, drove straight into it. The rat not only didn't dodge but instead came towards him.
However, flesh and blood are no match for high-speed steel. Several rats directly in front of them were knocked away and lay motionless on the ground.
The other rats seemed not to see anything and showed no fear. Instead, they changed direction and charged forward. Shen Muyu drove forward a little and then turned around and charged again.
This went on several times, until all the dozen or so rats lay motionless on the ground.
Just in case, Shen Muyu drove over all their bodies, then parked to the side, took an axe, opened the door, and got out.
Seeing the dented front of the car, Shen Muyu felt a pang of heartache. She wondered if she could find any repair blueprints or anything like that. Otherwise, with her rudimentary car repair skills, the car would probably be totaled in seven days.
Sighing, Shen Muyu wiped the rat flesh and blood stuck to the outside of the car clean, and then sprayed perfume around it. Although he didn't know if it would work, it was never good to leave the smell of blood.
After finishing all this, Shen Muyu didn't rush back to the car. Instead, he walked over to the rat and, suppressing his nausea, observed it for a while.
These rats look just like ordinary rats, but they are many times larger, with much thicker fur, and their two large teeth in front of the door look very sharp.
He ignored everything else, but Shen Muyu cut off all the rats' front teeth. He figured that if he tied a stick to them later, they would definitely make a great weapon.
After leaving the blood-soaked place, Shen Muyu leaned back in his chair and fell into a deep sleep again, but was soon woken up by his alarm clock, Xiao A.
After stretching, Shen Muyu climbed into the back of the car and filled a sealed wooden bucket with the filtered water. After refilling the bucket, she took the bucket, toothpaste, and toothbrush and got out of the car.
These were all things she exchanged in the mall last night. Now that she's barely able to afford them, she naturally won't be too stingy with herself in these areas.
After washing up, Shen Muyu ran around the car, and when he felt it was about time, he kept swinging the axe to increase the coordination between the two.
The unknown risks inside the box worried Shen Muyu greatly, but her hard work over the past few years had improved her physique considerably, and with the added exercise, she should be even stronger now.
From now on, she will have to set aside time every day to exercise in order to maintain her condition, so that she will be more confident in the face of danger. Besides, sitting in the car for 24 hours every day, really, I can't do it!
After exercising for about fifty minutes, Shen Muyu took out the leftover fried chicken from yesterday. Shen Muyu thought it would still be hot, but it was cold. It seems that time cannot be stopped in the backpack. In that case, it feels like he needs to get a refrigerator, since many foods do not have a long shelf life.
After cleaning the pot and putting it away, Shen Muyu sat down and opened the light screen interface.
"Holy crap, how did all four of my tires get chewed up?"
"Big brother, you didn't sleep until now, did you?"
"Of course, I was so tired yesterday, I had to get some rest."
"Awesome, so many rats couldn't wake you up."
"You guys encountered rats too?"
"I've not only encountered it, but I've never even seen such a big rat online."
"When I found it, two of the tires had already burst. I thought it was all over, but to my surprise, after I finished chewing the tires, they actually moved on their own."
"Please, that big shot named Ling Lingyi, send more tires! We didn't manage to snag a single one for our kids!"
"Yes, yes! Put more in, there's only one tire store in the whole mall."
"Hehe, I suddenly realized that my excavator is pretty good. Although it's uncomfortable to sleep on and the fuel consumption is high, those rats can't bite my tires. I just ran over them a few times yesterday and they were all dead."
"Same here! My truck is fine too!"
"Same here! My lawnmower is fine too!"
"It seems that the tires of the large vehicles are fine, but we small vehicles are unlucky. As long as we don't drive for a while, all four tires will be ruined."
"Be content! My little nitro-powered tricycle doesn't even feel as big as those rats!"
"Oh ho, you're still alive."
"Pah, pah, pah, I'm perfectly fine! I noticed them as soon as they appeared, and I ran for over an hour before they stopped chasing me."
"I'm begging for tires! I can't even move now!"
