Apocalypse Foodie System: Watch Her Cook!-Chapter 178 - 173: Waiting for the Right Moment!
Pang Zhi was pushed by Luo Sheng and immediately grew tense, goosebumps rising all over his body, as if a voice in his head was shouting "danger" incessantly. He couldn’t even care about the Mutated Black Ants outside; instinctively, he pulled open the car door to escape from Luo Sheng.
The Speed Ability User who was luring the Mutated Black Ants caught a glimpse of him, and his eyes flashed briefly before he suddenly accelerated, swiftly passing by Pang Zhi. The speed of his movement caused the wind to whip harshly against Pang Zhi. The areas covered by his Battle Armor were fine, but his exposed face felt like it was being slashed by a knife, stinging with pain.
Pang Zhi’s whole body stiffened; he couldn’t even spare a thought for whether that person had done it on purpose. Not far away, the Mutated Black Ants had already spotted him and were charging aggressively towards him!
The Mutated Black Ants were classified as Low Level Mutant Beasts, and even when they matured, they were only First Level. With the right skills, they weren’t difficult to kill. Back when Tang Yiyi had just escaped from the prisoner transport vehicle, even in her poor physical condition, she was able to kill a Mutated Black Ant.
However, Pang Zhi wasn’t aware of this; he had never seen Tang Yiyi’s impressive display of hunting Mutant Beasts. So, as he watched the Mutated Black Ant approach, even though it was just one, he was extremely nervous.
The school had Martial Arts Classes, and even had virtual hunting courses where the prey was the Mutated Black Ant. Unfortunately, Pang Zhi’s foundation was too weak. Even though he had been spurred into realization a few months ago, he had been seriously injured at the time, and it took quite a while just to recover. Even with subsequent training, it only made his body slightly more agile; undergoing a complete transformation was impossible.
In virtual hunting, the prey is fake, and failing doesn’t pose any danger. But now, an adult Mutated Black Ant was right in front of him, showing its fangs and charging at him. Pang Zhi was already lucky not to have been scared into running away!
He kept contemplating the techniques for hunting Mutated Black Ants in his mind: jumping onto its back while controlling its antennae with one hand, then stabbing an Alloy Knife into the gaps of its back shell while it was still unresponsive and destroying its brain.
This was exactly what Tang Yiyi had done back then.
However, Pang Zhi’s body was too heavy. Although he had become slightly more agile recently, jumping onto the back of a Mutated Black Ant was still difficult for him, let alone keeping his balance and grabbing its extremely sensitive antennae, then swiftly stabbing the Alloy Knife into its brain! 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Pang Zhi lacked the physical strength, the power, the agility, and especially the Martial Arts skills! These techniques were completely useless to him!
The Mutated Black Ant was moving quickly and had already reached Pang Zhi, opening its massive jaws to bite him. Its jaws were enormous and sharp, with astonishing bite force. If it got a solid bite on him, his bones would break even with the Battle Armor in between!
Pang Zhi’s heavy body made him an ideal "meal" for the Mutated Black Ant, so after the slender Speed Ability User left, it completely focused on Pang Zhi!
Pang Zhi dodged quickly, almost instinctively swinging his knife at the Mutated Black Ant’s massive jaws. Unfortunately, its jaws were the hardest part of its body, and the Alloy Knife striking them produced a metallic clashing sound!
The knife was bounced back, numbing his hand’s grip, and when he looked at the Mutated Black Ant’s jaws again, they were completely unscathed!
Gritting his teeth, he continued dodging the Mutated Black Ant’s attacks while hacking at it with his knife. However, the Alloy Knife in his hand was too ordinary, and the ant’s carapace was too hard, so even a heavy slash only left a faint mark on it.
Inside the large camouflaged war vehicle not far away, all thirty members of the Hunting Team watched intently. In their eyes, Pang Zhi’s battle lacked any technique, appearing extremely uninteresting. If they hadn’t been tasked by Pang De to protect Pang Zhi, they wouldn’t have paid such close attention!
Zhang Yuan recalled the earlier incident and couldn’t help but sneer, "Trash will always be trash! Even pigs are smarter than him!" After saying this, he remembered Luo Sheng’s reprimand, quickly casting a cautious glance at him, but found Luo Sheng staring expressionlessly out the window, his thoughts unreadable.
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking of saying more when Luo Sheng suddenly instructed, "Zhang Yuan, get out of the car! Stay close to Third Young Master and don’t let anything happen to him, got it?"
Zhang Yuan obediently acknowledged, though internally indifferent. Pang De’s directives were that they shouldn’t intervene unless Pang Zhi’s life was in danger or he was at risk of becoming crippled. So why should he care so much? As long as that fool didn’t die or get crippled!
With that thought, a plan formed in his mind! He was going to use this opportunity to teach Pang Zhi a harsh lesson, making sure he wouldn’t dare to be arrogant again in the future!
Luo Sheng noticed the gleam in Zhang Yuan’s eyes but said nothing. He watched Zhang Yuan disembark from the war vehicle and slowly approach Pang Zhi, his own expression unfazed, but internally, he couldn’t help but harbor a cold smile.
At this moment, Tang Yiyi was already near their parking spot. To prevent these people from becoming vigilant, she didn’t park the car too close. Leaving Milk Tea and Pudding in the car to guard Tang Yuan, and after giving Tang Yuan some instructions, she disembarked alone. Once she got off, Pudding activated the protective shield to secure the car.
This type of shield had a great feature: it could turn invisible. Once it enveloped the car, the entire vehicle seemed to vanish from sight. However, this shield consumed a lot of Energy, even deducting Points. Its activation caused Tang Yiyi’s Points to deplete continuously.
If it wasn’t to protect Tang Yuan, Tang Yiyi would never have been so willing!
After getting out of the car, she crouched and rapidly approached her target. Pang Zhi was on a flat area, but not far from it was a small hill. With no Energy fluctuations on her body and light footsteps, the Hunting Team, focused on Pang Zhi’s fate, didn’t detect her approach.
Once she ascended the hill, she climbed a tree, and after concealing herself in the treetop, she retrieved a prepared Energy Gun from her Space Button. This Energy Gun, a bit more advanced than what she got from others before, had a scope and a longer range, was given to her by Pang Xiao.
Pang Xiao had gone to great lengths for Pang Zhi, not only providing her with the Energy Gun but also a hundred special bullets. The cost of the gun and bullets alone was quite significant.
Tang Yiyi hid in the tree, silently observing the scene from afar. Pang Zhi was evading attacks awkwardly, the situation looking dire. A bald man stood about five meters away from Pang Zhi, but with arms crossed, did nothing. Ten meters away was a camouflaged large war vehicle, its occupants merely watching. (To be continued.
