Chapter 350 I Have An Idea

“I… I can’t hold them off for much longer. Are you guys done yet?!” the bald man urged anxiously. His tone implied that if Zhang Heng and Mei Nan didn’t do something now, he was a goner for sure.

Mei Nan wasn’t convinced, though. “Ignore him. He’s far from doomed – we still have about seven minutes. Even though they said we could build anything, it’s useless to build weapons right now. The Evil Scientist has taken complete control of the city, and his minions are everywhere. More bionics attack us if the battle continues, which is why we need to leave here as soon as possible,” she said.

“A vehicle?”

“That’s right. We need to build a vehicle.” “Can’t we just use the existing vehicles?”

“I thought about it, but unfortunately, have you seen any reliable means of transport on your way here?”

Zhang Heng looked around. Not a single bicycle could be seen in the entire community, much less a car. The only transport available was probably that wheelchair next to the old man with a terrified look on his face. Obviously, that wasn’t the most reliable means to help them fight their way out.

Mei Nan said, “I only know how to build a Smart Fortwo. Because of its compact body, it will require the least amount of blocks, and it’s relatively simple. But even so, it took me more than half a month of practice – seven minutes is just enough for me to build one Smart Fortwo or two motorcycles… but then we’ll have a problem.” Zhang Heng understood what the problem was. The Smart Fortwo only had two seats; one for the driver and the other for the pa.s.senger. Even if there was s.p.a.ce in the trunk, it could only fit a maximum of four people at its very limit.

Earlier on, there was only Mei Nan, the messenger, the bald man, and the waiter, which would have been just right. Right now, they had one more person – Zhang Heng. Even if they switched to making the motorcycles, they would still face the same dilemma.

“Go ahead and build that Smart Fortwo. I’ll think about how to solve the problem of the extra person.”

They were running out of time, so Zhang Heng and Mei Nan divided the work. The latter nodded and immediately dove into the intense process of constructing the vehicle, while Zhang Heng tried to come up with more solutions.

He had watched the entire process of Mei Nan building the motorcycle, and it didn’t look too complicated – but understanding it and being able to do it were two very different things.

Right now, judging by his skills, he couldn’t even build the simplest sword. The waiter even commented unsparingly that Zhang Heng’s sword looked like a French baguette with a fishtail. For Zhang Heng, building a motorcycle would be harder than scaling the Himalayas.

As the seconds and minutes trickled by, more and more men in black began to appear. The bald man’s cries got even more desperate, and although he was doing nothing to help ease the situation, it didn’t stop him from bugging Zhang Heng and Mei Nan. “Are you done? When will you be done? Is it not done yet? If it’s not done soon, our a.s.s will be on the line!!!”

Fortunately, Mei Nan was immune to the constant urging, and she was nearly finished with the construction of her Smart Fortwo. She was now a.s.sembling the car’s exhaust pipe.

On the other side, after six long minutes, all Zhang Heng had managed to build was a rope.

He was supposed to make a bicycle since it had a much simpler structure than a motorcycle, but somehow, a few joints must have been wrongly a.s.sembled, or perhaps it was all wrong that at the end, he had accidentally created a nylon rope.

The waiter did not waste the opportunity to say something mean. “Heavens! Is your plan for us to end our own lives with that rope?”.
