Apocalypse Foodie System: Watch Her Cook!-Chapter 191 - 186: Initiating Contact

Sun Yue had already concluded that Pang Zhi was doomed, but Luo Sheng told her there were other people present at the time! This means Pang Zhi could have been rescued!

Luo Sheng had previously overlooked this possibility, but as soon as she questioned him, he immediately remembered. His face was a bit grim, but more than that, he felt guilty and uneasy in front of Sun Yue: "Don’t overthink it. The battle wagon caught fire from the Red Refining Snake—who would risk their life to save an unconscious person during that?"

Sun Yue wasn’t as optimistic as he was. She thought for a moment and said, "Tell me about the situation at that time again, and don’t leave anything out!"

In truth, Luo Sheng was quite troubled. Although he was safe now, he had been relentlessly pursued by the Red Refining Snake before, to the extent that he had to push his subordinates out as cannon fodder just to survive. As a result, in a well-formed hunting team, only ten people survived in the end!

But he dared not go against Sun Yue’s wishes, so he had to patiently describe the situation to her.

On the other side, Pang Zhi, who Sun Yue was worried about, was comfortably lying in bed playing games. Although he was injured, the battle armor had protected him, so the wounds weren’t too deep—at least his internal organs and bones were fine. It was just blood loss making him a bit weak.

After Tang Yiyi gave him a blood transfusion, his body improved significantly. Moreover, his body had been strengthened when his superpower awakened, and after eating medicinal meals later, he was not only no longer weak but actually had excess energy!

If it weren’t for the injuries on his body, he would have been eager to start practicing controlling his Gold Ability!

Tang Yiyi exchanged an Energy Restriction Bracelet for him from the system, which can prevent the escape of energy from his body. Once he wore it on his wrist, unless he used his superpower, others wouldn’t be able to sense the energy fluctuations on him and wouldn’t know he had awakened his Gold Ability.

His wounds had been carefully bandaged, and to avoid tearing them, he didn’t dare to make large movements, so he could only lie in bed and play games. The awakening of his superpower alleviated his mental burden, and without the chains binding him, he played games recklessly, oblivious to the fact that Pang De was sending people to investigate the incident thoroughly.

Tang Yiyi, seeing that he was fine, couldn’t be bothered to manage him further. After discussing the next plan with Pang Xiao, she went to the kitchen to prepare lunch. To make it up to Tang Yuan, she prepared many of his favorite dishes, which left him extraordinarily satisfied.

She had just finished lunch when her personal terminal rang. The number of people who knew this number was very few. She assumed it was Pang Xiao needing something from her, but upon checking, the number was completely unfamiliar—she had never seen it before!

Tang Yiyi instantly became alert. She gestured to Tang Yuan to stay quiet, then deliberately walked to the wall, ensuring the camera could only capture her and the wall, before choosing to answer. Seeing the 3D projection on the display, she was somewhat surprised but unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

The contact was a mysterious expert she had met before, not someone from Sun Yue’s group.

Tang Yiyi smiled politely, though her tone was very distant: "What brings you to contact me... is there something you need?"

Song Yunxiu sensed her detachment, and inexplicably felt a bit nervous. He himself couldn’t understand why he reached out to someone he barely knew, yet couldn’t help but want to speak to her.

Due to his nervousness, his expression was taut, appearing cold and distant: "I just wanted to let you know that the Red Refining Snake has already been dealt with by me. If you’re planning to go hunting out of the city tomorrow, you won’t need to worry about it anymore."

Tang Yiyi was a bit surprised. Did this person contact her just to say this? They barely knew each other, right? Aren’t experts supposed to be aloof? Why is this person so considerate?

Song Yunxiu’s attitude made Tang Yiyi question his motives, but after pondering over it, she couldn’t figure out anything about herself worth his scheming. Not that she underestimated herself, but their encounter was by chance, her identity and appearance were fake. He couldn’t possibly know she possessed a system, nor that she was the boss of the Tang Family, capable of making medicinal meals, and mutant beast meat. What could he be plotting?

Her current face was average, blending in with the crowd; even as a Second Level Superpower User, she was from the Fire Element, not the more nurturing Wood or Water Elements. Even if Song Yunxiu had an average face too, given his strength, many Second Level female Superpower Users would be willing to marry him. Why would he bother trying to curry favor with her?

She didn’t believe her current face could captivate someone at first sight, especially when his abilities surpassed hers! Aside from that, what else could Song Yunxiu be after?

Or could it be that despite his cold exterior, he’s warm inside? That he is an exception amongst experts, always considerate of others?

Looking at Song Yunxiu’s cold face, Tang Yiyi couldn’t see any sign of him being considerate. Although she was surprised internally, she didn’t show it and instead courteously smiled: "Thank you, sir, for informing me of this. I was planning to go out of the city tomorrow, so with this news, I won’t worry about encountering the Red Refining Snake."

This was merely a polite phrase—Pang Zhi was still injured, she had no intention of leaving the city tomorrow!

But Song Yunxiu took it seriously and directly said, "I’m also going hunting out of the city tomorrow. Team up with me. With your current skills, you should have no problem entering the Second Level Hunting Area, so there’s no need to waste time in the First Level Hunting Area."

Tang Yiyi was dumbfounded. It was just a polite remark; she never expected him to say something like that! She wanted to refuse, but facing Song Yunxiu’s cold face, she couldn’t utter the words. Pondering over the possibility of Song Yunxiu having ulterior motives again, she still couldn’t fathom what his aim was! 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Her current identity was fake, and within such a short time, even if Song Yunxiu investigated secretly, it was unlikely he’d discover her true identity. Why then would he want to team up with her?

Though Song Yunxiu appeared cold, Tang Yiyi couldn’t detect any malice in him. Moreover, his strength far surpassed hers; if he’d had ill-intentions, he’d have acted when she was with Pang Zhi.

She was indecisive, unsure whether to accept Song Yunxiu’s offer. If Song Yunxiu were harmless, forging such an alliance would undoubtedly be more beneficial than detrimental, especially since she currently lacked solid roots and was in need of allies and backing!

After considering for a while, she decided to test the waters first by saying, "Since you’ve killed the Red Refining Snake, could you sell me its meat?"

"What do you want the snake meat for? It’s inedible." Song Yunxiu paused abruptly, then frowned and asked, "Are you planning to eat the Red Refining Snake’s meat? Though the Red Refining Snake is of the Fire Element, its flesh is poisonous. Even as a Fire Superpower User, consuming it would still affect you. Those toxins would accumulate in your body, ultimately affecting your abilities, even preventing your superpower from advancing!"

His tone was very stern, his eyes full of disapproval, with no hint of insincerity. (To be continued. If you like this work, please head to Qidian (qidian.com) and cast your recommendation votes or monthly votes. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read on m.qidian.com.)
