Exposure to sunlight will cause the cargo to spoil. You can follow the map marker to reach the Pizza Chef location, which is approximately 900m from Hearman’s lab. Once you reach the location, activate the Terminal to deliver the cargo to the pizza chef, who is a face scan of Mamoru Oshii.

Order 25 - [Keep Flat/Express] Deliver a Piping Hot Pizza to the Data Scientist

After delivering the cargo, your next destination is the Data Scientist. You need to deliver a hot pizza within 10 minutes to the Scientist, who is located nearly 1200 meters north of the pizza chef's location. To keep the pizza in good condition, you must avoid steep and rocky roads. The best way to deliver it is to use a pickup off-roader or a floating carrier.
