Chapter 319 (1/2)

Zhao Pengcheng was hidden in the dark carriage, feeling the bumps of the car and silently counting the numbers in his heart. Whenever the car stopped, his heart stopped beating. He knew there was a door and the car was being checked.

He vaguely heard the driver roll down the window, show the pass and signed registration form to the guard, and exchanged greetings with the guard.

According to the normal process, the guards have the right to inspect the vehicle, but obviously no one is willing to do so in this chilly night. Moreover, the driver is familiar with the road, complete procedures, and has not encountered any trouble.

The front two doors passed smoothly, but the vehicle stopped at the last door for a long time. Zhao Pengcheng couldn't hear the driver and the guard chirping, but he heard two dog barks.

Then the back door of the carriage opened with a bang, and a wisp of flashlight light came in from the gap between the stacked cartons, leaving mottled light on the inner wall of the carriage beside Zhao Pengcheng.

The barking of the dog was loud, accompanied by the salivating sound of eating. Judging from the sound, there are at least two dogs lying at the door of the car.

Zhao Pengcheng held his breath and didn't let himself make a sound, but he couldn't stop the smell.

He heard the driver's voice: ”it's these goods every day. The formalities are complete. What's there to check? What's the matter today?”

Another voice said, ”you think I want to. It's the dog barking. As soon as it barks, we have to check.”

The driver complained, ”it's really a dog. What's the cry on a cold day? I don't have meat and bones in my car.” suddenly, ”Oh” shouted, ”is it because of this...”

Zhao Pengcheng heard the footsteps, and the driver's voice was far and near. ”I still have half a roast chicken in my car. Can't the dog smell the smell of roast chicken?”

Another voice said, ”what are you doing with roast chicken in your car?”

”Hey, just your food, dinner, pickled vegetables and steamed bread every day. I have to carry goods and unload them. How can I stand it! The dog's nose is so smart that I can smell it when I put it in the car.”

”It didn't bark when you came.”

”At that time, the plastic bag containing chicken had not been opened. Maybe it didn't taste heavy.” the driver said ha ha, ”you talk about such a small thing. I'm really sorry. You're also affected! Come on... I still have some bags of good cigarettes here. Take them...”

……

When the car started again, there was a creaking sound when the heavy iron door was closed.

Zhao Pengcheng took a long breath and relaxed his tight muscles. At this time, he found that his clothes were wet. In the cold night, the sweat soon became cold and close to his skin. He couldn't help thinking of the laboratory that could be infinitely close to absolute zero.

The driver in the cab hummed a relaxed song:
