Apocalypse Foodie System: Watch Her Cook!-Chapter 186 - 181: Excessive Blood Loss

Tang Yuan’s sense of smell was too sharp and couldn’t stand the stench from Pang Zhi. It wasn’t just him; even Pudding and Milk Tea found it unbearable. Pudding was somewhat fortunate as it was a system sprite and could block out the odor, but Tang Yuan and Milk Tea were out of luck.

Tang Yuan seized a moment when Tang Yiyi wasn’t looking, shot a fierce glare at Pang Zhi, and then pitifully whined to Tang Yiyi, "Mom, it stinks!"

Milk Tea was much more direct than Tang Yuan, baring its teeth at Pang Zhi. If Pang Zhi didn’t smell so bad, it would have loved to pounce and take a few angry bites. Meanwhile, it was conveying its strong disdain to Tang Yiyi through its thoughts.

Tang Yiyi quickly turned on the car’s air purification system. Gradually, the foul smell was absorbed, and a refreshing green tea scent filled the car, making Tang Yuan and Milk Tea feel much more comfortable.

Tang Yuan stood on the seat, curiously observing Pang Zhi lying on the backseat. Seeing that his battle armor had turned into tattered rags and his chest was stained with large patches of blood, Tang Yuan let out a small gasp and asked, "Mom, is Uncle hurt?"

Tang Yiyi nodded and asked Pudding to check Pang Zhi’s body. She had examined his wounds, and they had all been treated, covered with bio-bandages. The meticulous care given to the injuries showed diligence, but whether anything had been tampered with was beyond her knowledge, so she sought Pudding’s help.

While Pudding was checking Pang Zhi, Tang Yiyi had returned to the driver’s seat. After seating Tang Yuan properly and buckling him up again, she drove away from the place. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

This was a First Level Hunting Area, not far from Safe City, and theoretically, there shouldn’t be too much danger. However, the unexpected occurrences today, especially the appearance of the Red Refining Snake and that mutated plant, left Tang Yiyi feeling very uneasy, and she dared not linger here for long.

Moreover, Pang Zhi was seriously injured and needed treatment as soon as possible.

To avoid missing anything, Pudding’s examination was thorough. Although Tang Yiyi was anxious, she had to patiently wait. Finally, after ten minutes, Pudding provided the examination results: "Fatty’s injuries are superficial, scary-looking but not severe. There’s no trace of suspicious drugs used on him. However, his superpower is awakening. But due to excessive blood loss, he’s very weak, and the awakening might fail."

Tang Yiyi’s expression instantly changed. If the superpower awakening failed, there would be no chance for another awakening! Tang Yiyi never expected Pang Zhi to awaken autonomously on his first city hunt, but Pang Zhi’s current condition was quite poor! She had to find a solution!

Pang Zhi had finally gotten the chance to awaken autonomously, and she couldn’t let it go to waste!

So Tang Yiyi said, "Pudding, can you help him? Didn’t you help me the last time I was awakening as well? Please help Pang Zhi!"

Pudding seized the opportunity to ask for a pile of gourmet food as compensation before nodding modestly and agreeing to help. It lightly hopped onto Pang Zhi, sat on his chest, and said to Tang Yiyi, "Don’t worry, Master. With me watching, the chubby one will be fine!"

Seeing Pudding’s assurance, Tang Yiyi guessed it had confidence in the situation, which allowed her to relax and drive away. She didn’t linger outside, and soon the car returned to Safe City. Then, she took Pang Zhi straight home.

The tracking device Pang De placed on Pang Zhi had long been discarded by Tang Yiyi at the scene, and Pang Zhi’s personal terminal was stowed in the space button, so there was no worry that Pang De and Sun Yue would discover Pang Zhi’s whereabouts with her.

She didn’t intend to keep Pang Zhi indefinitely; she just wanted to buy some time for him to safely pass through the Awakening Period.

Back at home, she took Pang Zhi to the guest room and helped him lie on the bed. Then she took out the medical kit and, following Pudding’s instructions, injected him with some nutrient pills. However, there was nothing she could do about the blood loss.

Pang Zhi was at a critical moment in his superpower awakening, and she dared not let anyone else know. But if she took him to the hospital, the news couldn’t be kept from Pang De and Sun Yue. Given Sun Yue’s madness, if he knew Pang Zhi was awakening, who knows what he might do!

So she thought about it and decided to contact Pang Xiao. Pang Xiao clearly had been concerned about Pang Zhi’s awakening, and as soon as he received Tang Yiyi’s call request, he immediately answered and asked, "Yiyi, what’s wrong? Is it about Xiao Zhi?"

He had been feeling uneasy and suspected something had happened to Pang Zhi. Since Tang Yiyi and Pang Zhi hadn’t contacted him, he dared not reach out to them, fearing they might be at a critical moment and could be distracted!

He was worrying himself sick over there, his nerves stretched to the breaking point. If it weren’t for Tang Yiyi contacting him, he wouldn’t have known how much longer he could hold out!

Tang Yiyi knew he was concerned about Pang Zhi, so she didn’t waste words and directly said, "Xiao Zhi was injured while hunting a mutated black ant, lost quite a bit of blood, and is currently awakening. I brought him back to Safe City but didn’t dare take him to the hospital. Can you find a way to get me some fresh blood? Xiao Zhi needs a transfusion."

"What? Xiao Zhi is awakening? Is this true?" Pang Xiao was shocked. Although he knew Tang Yiyi wouldn’t lie to him, the happiness came so fast that he could hardly believe it! Fortunately, he quickly came to his senses, "I understand. I know Xiao Zhi’s blood type; I’ll arrange for someone to deliver blood to you immediately!"

Pang Xiao acted quickly, and half an hour later, someone brought two large bags of blood to Tang Yiyi. The person who delivered the items didn’t enter the house, left after handing them over, and didn’t say a word more.

Tang Yiyi had Pudding check the blood to ensure there were no issues before giving Pang Zhi a transfusion.

Pang Zhi was at a pivotal moment in his awakening, but due to his extreme weakness, he was somewhat running out of power. After Tang Yiyi transfused blood into him, Pang Zhi’s ghastly pale complexion gradually gained color, and Pudding informed Tang Yiyi that Pang Zhi’s condition was improving.

Seeing Pang Zhi lie unconscious on the bed, Tang Yiyi thought for a moment, and promptly left Pudding and Tang Yuan to watch over him while she went to the kitchen. She planned to make a medicinal meal to replenish blood and strength for Pang Zhi, so it would be ready for him when he woke up.

The wait lasted for more than an hour. With Pudding and Tang Yuan watching over, and since Pudding hadn’t reported any issues, she wasn’t too anxious. On the other hand, Pang Xiao felt differently; Pang Zhi’s awakening was a tremendous surprise for him. He never expected his foolish brother could succeed on the first try; he thought even if Pang Zhi was lucky enough to awaken, it would take several attempts!

Who would have thought this brother, who seemed like a waste otherwise, managed to awaken autonomously just by hunting a mutated black ant!

But Tang Yiyi told him that Pang Zhi had lost too much blood and was very weak, and the situation wasn’t good! It was like being lifted to heaven only to be dropped back into hell!

Yet, he couldn’t see Pang Zhi’s situation and could only worry alone!
