Apocalypse Foodie System: Watch Her Cook!-Chapter 176 - 171: First Time Leaving the City

On this day, Pang Zhi had to leave the city to hunt Mutant Beasts. Of course, hunting was not the main point; the focus was to stimulate him to successfully awaken his Superpower through battles with the Mutant Beasts.

Although Pang De didn’t expect him to succeed in just one try, he placed great importance on this first hunting expedition. Thus, Pang Zhi was woken up early, washed up, changed into his Battle Armor, and had an especially nutritious breakfast with Pang De and Sun Yue before leaving home in the company of the Hunting Team.

Inside a small villa in District Two, Tang Yiyi also got up early intentionally. She first made a nutritious breakfast for Tang Yuan, then casually ate a little herself, and opened her personal terminal to call up a special monitoring software.

The software’s interface was exactly the map of Wu City, with a tiny red dot flashing continuously. The red dot was initially in the Central District, but after a short while, it suddenly started moving, heading toward the East City Gate.

Tang Yiyi was already dressed in fitted Battle Armor and, seeing the red dot move, she left the house with Tang Yuan in her arms. Pudding stood on her shoulder while Milk Tea tightly followed beside her. When she opened the car door, Milk Tea automatically jumped in and lay on the back seat, motionless, except for its tail wagging impatiently.

Tang Yiyi first secured Tang Yuan into the child seat and then got into the car herself, driving toward the East City Gate. Tang Yuan could see that Tang Yiyi’s expression was grave, but he didn’t know what she was going out to do. However, he was already used to running outside the city every day and looked around curiously the moment they left.

The car windows had been specially treated, not only providing excellent defense but also good confidentiality—nothing inside the car could be seen from the outside. However, being inside the car, the view remained unobstructed, and it even had a filtering effect when the light outside was too strong.

Even little Tang Yuan could see the situation outside clearly through the car window.

It was only seven o’clock, a bit early, so there weren’t many people on the streets, and many shops hadn’t opened yet, giving a cold and desolate feel. But none of this affected Tang Yuan’s good mood. Occasionally spotting people holding small children, he would become particularly excited, as if discovering a new continent, staring intently at the child in others’ arms.

Although Tang Yiyi was concentrating on driving, she paid special attention to Tang Yuan. Seeing him curiously looking outside, she asked, "Tang Yuan, what are you looking at?"

Tang Yuan was turning his head to look out the window when he obediently turned back upon hearing her. He glanced at Tang Yiyi first, then declared proudly, "That little baby is not as good-looking as I am!"

Seeing his proud little expression, Tang Yiyi couldn’t help but twitch the corners of her mouth, grinding her teeth secretly. She considered herself not at all vain, quite an honest child when young, so how did she give birth to a Tang Yuan who didn’t resemble her at all? This arrogant personality must have been inherited from that bastard on that night!

Thinking of this, she looked at Tang Yuan and couldn’t help grinding her teeth again. Tang Yuan indeed looked quite good. Although still very young, he already showed signs of being a handsome little guy whose looks would leave many mesmerized when he grows up! The problem was, the more she looked at Tang Yuan’s appearance, the more familiar it seemed to her!

Tang Yuan didn’t look much like her, so she could only guess Tang Yuan’s appearance took after his father, who she knew nothing about. But that man had worn a mask, and she had no idea what he looked like, so she wasn’t sure.

What unsettled Tang Yiyi was that as Tang Yuan was growing up, his facial features became more defined, unexpectedly making her recognize shadows of familiarity. Yet, she couldn’t recall specifically who he resembled!

Tang Yuan had no idea about Tang Yiyi’s inner struggle. Seeing her not talking and even frowning, he thought she didn’t believe him, which immediately frustrated him as he emphasized, "He isn’t as good-looking as me!"

These words successfully pulled Tang Yiyi back from her scattered thoughts. Remembering today’s agenda, she suppressed her uneasiness, stopping herself from overthinking. She glanced at Tang Yuan, seeing him seemingly sulking, and quickly praised, "Of course, you’re my son, you certainly look good! In my heart, no one compares to you!"

Only then was Tang Yuan satisfied, a bit shy, his cheeks and ears turning bright red. Even with lips pressed tight, the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but lift. However, after a while, he gave Tang Yiyi a questioning glance. Knowing Tang Yiyi was wearing a mask, and having already seen her real face before, he couldn’t help but think—he didn’t resemble Mom at all!

Thinking of this troubled him. If he didn’t look like Mom, then who did he resemble?

He hesitated, gave Tang Yiyi another glance, but in the end, he didn’t ask, keeping his thoughts secretly inside.

Tang Yiyi was completely unaware of his struggle. She glanced at the personal terminal, finding that the red dot was still moving, nothing unusual happened. Nearby the red dot was a small green dot, representing her location. From the map, it was clear the two dots were approaching each other.

Seeing the two dots getting closer, Tang Yiyi suddenly turned a corner with the car, then saw the large battle vehicle Pang Zhi was riding in just ahead through the windshield.

She followed unhurriedly behind, unconcerned about the people upfront getting suspicious, as there were other cars on the road.

This Safe City in Wu City was much larger than Qinghe City, but the battle vehicle’s speed wasn’t slow, so it wasn’t long before they reached the East City Gate. The battle vehicle Pang Zhi was in didn’t stop, going straight out of the city. Though Tang Yiyi was worried, she purposefully waited a while before continuing to follow.

The opposing Hunting Team had 30 people and wasn’t weak. She had Tang Yuan with her, so she didn’t dare take too many risks. If the other side got suspicious and thought she had malicious intent, it could lead to unnecessary trouble.

By pausing, when she exited the city, the other battle vehicle was already out of sight. Fortunately, a tracker was placed on Pang Zhi, so as long as it wasn’t damaged, she wouldn’t lose track of him.

She glanced at the personal terminal, quickly guessing that their destination was the First Level Hunting Area, and hurried to catch up.

On the other side, Pang Zhi was feeling tense. Ever since surviving a disaster last time, he had changed drastically, even going through special combat training. But he still hadn’t awakened his Superpower. Coupled with his deep impressions from the first two outings, once outside, facing the vast wilderness, he felt his heart pounding uncontrollably, even breaking into a sweat.

The others in the vehicle already looked down on his "stupid" appearance, openly showing disdain as his face turned pale with fear.

Someone even scoffed at him, cursing, "Huh, useless idiot!" After saying this, as if it wasn’t satisfying enough, they aggressively glared at Pang Zhi and warned, "Hey! Little Fatty! Be careful later, got it? Don’t cause me trouble!" (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.
