Apocalypse Foodie System: Watch Her Cook!-Chapter 136 - 131: Danger!
The battle continued relentlessly, the mutant beasts were exceedingly agitated, continuously assaulting Safe City. Waves upon waves of people were sent out to hunt the mutant beasts.
Outside Safe City, the sounds of killing echoed around, while inside, an eerie silence prevailed, pervading the entire city.
In the Central District, the most defensively strong area, patrolling guards could be seen from time to time, providing some reassurance to the residents living there.
In Pang Zhi’s villa, Zhang Xue sat on the sofa, holding Zhang Haoyu tightly in her arms, her eyes unblinking as she stared at the projection wall.
An attractive female anchor was on the wall, standing at the gates of Safe City. She rapidly introduced the state of the battle. Behind her stood the protective barrier of Safe City, completely transparent, allowing a clear view of both the countless mutant beasts and the battling humans!
After introducing the situation, the anchor urged the public to sign up and join the battle, to hunt the mutant beasts.
Pang Zhi was also watching the video, visibly tense, his plump face stretched tight, paler than usual. Today happened to be the weekend, so he hadn’t stayed at school for shelter like other students but had remained in the villa.
He was worried about Tang Yiyi. Tang Yiyi’s due date was approaching, and the child could be born at any moment, so he didn’t dare leave. Not only him but Zhang Xue was also uneasy. She was a Wood Ability User. When she gave birth to Zhang Haoyu, she suffered greatly and nearly died. She didn’t want Tang Yiyi to go through the same dangers and pains.
However, they were even more concerned about the mutant beasts outside the city. Although the mutant beasts become agitated once a year, forming a beast tide to attack Safe City, the scale this year was evidently larger than in previous years. No one could say for sure if the beasts could breach the defenses and invade Safe City. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
Pang Zhi was just a teenager, his mind not yet mature enough to handle such crises. Zhang Xue’s body hadn’t fully recovered, and she could only use her superpower sparingly each day, with her attack power nearly negligible. Zhang Haoyu was just a child, and Tang Yiyi was heavily pregnant. The only ones in the villa who could fight were the two bodyguards by Pang Zhi’s side and the mutant husky Milk Tea, contracted by Tang Yiyi.
Milk Tea had grown to half the height of a person, always pretending to be an ordinary husky, its abnormalities never detected. Now, it lay obediently at Tang Yiyi’s feet, guarding her.
Since spring arrived, Milk Tea became restless and uneasy but thanks to Tang Yiyi, its owner, and the assistance of the system Pudding, it was calmed down. Even so, Milk Tea remained anxious, thus stayed close to Tang Yiyi at all times.
As the news video finished, no one spoke in the room. Pang Zhi glanced at Zhang Xue, then at Tang Yiyi’s bulging belly, and forced a smile: "Sister Yiyi, don’t worry. The battle has just started, and there are so many powerful people in the city, it will surely hold for a long time. You and little nephew will be fine."
Tang Yiyi gently caressed her belly, sensing the child’s constant tension, which made her deeply uneasy, a feeling as though something was about to happen. She frowned and was about to speak when a sharp pain suddenly erupted in her belly, turning her face pale, beads of cold sweat breaking out!
Zhang Xue and Pang Zhi were keeping an eye on her. Noticing something wrong, they both stood up abruptly. Pang Zhi, having no experience, was thoroughly rattled by Tang Yiyi’s pained expression: "Sister Yiyi? Sister Yiyi, what’s wrong? Are you... are you alright?"
Zhang Xue was much calmer. She swiftly went to Tang Yiyi to check her, then her expression changed: "She’s about to give birth! Pang Zhi, come and help! We must get her to the delivery room immediately!"
The delivery room was prepared in advance, so now it was just a matter of getting Tang Yiyi there. Reminded by Zhang Xue, Pang Zhi’s mind cleared slightly as he quickly moved to Tang Yiyi’s side, supporting her arm along with Zhang Xue to escort her to the delivery room.
Tang Yiyi was sweating from the pain, her face frighteningly pale, yet she managed to control her breathing, refusing to make a sound. Pang Zhi watched sympathetically, clutching Zhang Xue’s arm, hastily urging: "Hurry and save her! Can’t you see she’s in unbearable pain?"
Zhang Xue didn’t know how to reassure him. As she found herself at a loss, Tang Yiyi suddenly told Pang Zhi, "Xiao Zhi, go out!"
Pang Zhi was taken aback: "Sister Yiyi, I..."
Tang Yiyi managed a difficult smile: "You go out first. Stand guard outside for me, don’t let anyone in, okay?"
Pang Zhi knew this was an excuse for Tang Yiyi to send him away. After all, orders had been given, and it was only the four of them here, no one else would come, even the two bodyguards were just stationed outside the villa, so there was no one he needed to stop.
However, since Tang Yiyi had spoken, he didn’t have the heart to let her down. He cheered her on and bit the bullet, stepping out.
Tang Yiyi glanced at Zhang Xue beside her and asked, "How much longer do I have to wait?" At the same time, she asked the system the same question in her mind.
Pudding’s reply was much faster than Zhang Xue’s and more accurate: "According to the host’s current physical condition, it will take another 4 hours before delivery."
Tang Yiyi couldn’t help but frown at that response; the duration was too long!
At that moment, a knock on the door suddenly sounded. Tang Yiyi and Zhang Xue instinctively looked at the surveillance, seeing Zhang Haoyu at the door, knocking frantically, looking anxious. Zhang Xue glanced at Tang Yiyi for approval, and upon seeing her nod, hurriedly opened the door. Before she could ask what was wrong, Zhang Haoyu urgently said, "Mom, something’s wrong! I just saw a big guy coming our way, he’s very dangerous!"
Zhang Xue and Tang Yiyi’s faces changed simultaneously. Pang Zhi came to stop him, unaware of Zhang Haoyu’s abilities, finding it inexplicable. Zhang Xue nervously held Zhang Haoyu’s shoulder, asking, "Did you really see that? Anything else? What else did you see?"
Zhang Haoyu shook his head: "No... nothing else, but the big guy gave me a terrifying feeling."
Outside the villa, a patrol of guards had just passed by as a black car silently stopped not far from the villa. Then, a tall man in black battle armor emerged from the car. Behind him, the car drove away quietly. He cautiously glanced around and headed toward Pang Zhi’s villa.
Inside the villa, Pang Zhi couldn’t believe he would be attacked. Skeptical, he pulled up the surveillance at the villa’s entrance and saw a suspicious man being stopped by his two bodyguards. He smiled, about to say it was nothing when he saw the two bodyguards being tossed aside like trash! (To be continued.
