Pet King

was also confused.
Looking at the time, it was about 20 minutes past the agreed time.
Usually, they wouldn’t have been so late even if they said so.

Fortunately, the sunlight during the morning wasn’t that strong yet.
If it were noon, he wouldn’t have been able to tolerate it.

“I’ll call them and ask.
Maybe there is a traffic jam on the road,” He picked up his cell phone and was about to make a call when he saw the smoke and dust rising on the highway in the distance.
Seeing the vehicle model, they seemed to have been the trucks used to haul the empty bottles.

Since it was here, he didn’t need to have to pay any unnecessary phone call fees.

He put down his phone and planned to discuss the importance of punctuality with them in a while.

The truck got closer and closer.
He was right; it was the usual truck.

The car stopped slowly by the side of the road.
Someone poked his head out of the window and asked, “Hey, are you going to recycle the empty bottles?”

Zhang Zian hesitated and answered without thinking, “Yes, I am.”

“That’s good.
I haven’t been here before.
I almost didn’t find it… get off the car! We’re here!” The man took a long breath, jumped out of the car, and ushered everyone else out.

Zhang Zian took a closer look.
He didn’t recognize this driver or any of the other people who came along.

“Oh! So many bottles …” The man who drove the truck grinned bitterly, “That’s quite a few! Brothers, everyone is responsible for a pile of bottles, remember to count correctly!”

The people under him responded, picking up several empty bottles and counting them.

The driver also wanted to move forward and pass him but was stopped by Zhang Zian.

“Ah! That… If you don’t mind me asking, how about those people who worked before? Why was it changed to be you today? Did they ask you to take over because they were busy?”

Zhang Zian brought his hand to his pocket.
In this case, it should’ve been better to pass the man a cigarette, but he didn’t smoke or have a cigarette on him.
The only thing in his pocket was the cooling oil; it was an amazing tool and couldn’t be casually shared with others.
Thus, he had to pretend to not know how to behave.
He intended to make up for it tomorrow.

The driver gnawed his teeth and said vaguely, “This… it’s… something did happen.”

Huh?

Zhang Zian looked at him.
He seemed to have a secret.
Bored without much to do, he thickened his skin and asked further, “It’s not easy for everyone to work when it’s hot.
I’ll go to the nearby store to grab some ice Beer to quench your thirst.
”

The driver seemed to be an alcoholic, but he had to drive and wasn’t allowed to drink.
He was also unwilling to take advantage of getting a free drink, so he quickly pulled Zhang Zian aside and whispered, “Forget about beer … if I drink I can’t drive! Get me Sprite instead!”

“Okay, got it!” Zhang Zian nodded intently before asking, “What happened to those people before… why did they leave?”

The driver had received a small favor from Zhang Zian and no longer concealed the matter.
Besides, he would be responsible for handling the bottles with Zhang Zian in the future.
It was beneficial for everyone to be on good terms with one another.

“I’ll tell you, but please don’t tell anyone else,” The driver lowered his voice even more.
No one was around and everyone was working.
Only a cat and a dog were listening attentively.

“Okay, my lips are sealed.” Zhang Zian patted his chest and promised.
The mysteriousness of this matter made him very curious.

Though, he wasn’t bragging.
He kept his mouth tightly closed.
Even if he knew the secret, he wouldn’t reveal it.

The driver looked frightened as he whispered, “For the past two days, some of them suddenly got strange diseases and were taken away by the CDC ambulance!”
