Apocalypse Foodie System: Watch Her Cook!-Chapter 192 - 187: The Promise

Although Song Yunxiu’s tone was rather severe, Tang Yiyi could hear the concern and worry in his voice. She couldn’t detect any malice from Song Yunxiu, nor could she tell if he was being insincere, so she could only believe that this person was genuinely worried about her.

The Red Refining Snake is a Third Level Mutant Beast, and it’s safe to say that every part of it is a treasure. Whether it’s the snake skin, teeth, gall bladder, meat, or blood, all can fetch a high price. Although no one has yet found a way to neutralize the toxicity of the Red Refining Snake’s meat, due to the slow progress of superpower users, some Fire Ability Users may never reach the Third Level in their lifetime, leading some to take the risky step of consuming the snake meat to force an upgrade.

It’s not only the Red Refining Snake; other mutant beasts are the same way.

However, those who choose this method are generally at least Second Level Superpower Users. After all, this method is unsafe and could fail. Even if they succeed, the toxins could accumulate in the body, preventing any further advancement. First Level Superpower Users, unless they are too old and have lost hope of advancing, would not recklessly use this method.

After hearing Tang Yiyi’s words, Song Yunxiu never considered the possibility that she was testing him and instinctively assumed she was thinking of risking the upgrade by consuming the Red Refining Snake’s meat. Thus, without thinking, he severely pointed out the dangers of such a method in hopes of changing Tang Yiyi’s mind.

Tang Yiyi felt somewhat touched. They were nothing more than passing acquaintances, not even knowing each other, having exchanged just a few words, yet Song Yunxiu was so concerned! Such a master is indeed rare!

Unfortunately, she couldn’t tell Song Yunxiu the truth, nor could she outright tell him she was just testing. She had to lie: "Oh, I just heard people say the Red Refining Snake’s meat is very delicious, so I couldn’t resist wanting to try it. Hearing you say that, I realized how risky this method is."

Song Yunxiu instinctively found it hard to believe, but seeing Tang Yiyi’s smile, he couldn’t bring himself to question further. He could only say, "Then are you still coming with me to the Second Level Hunting Area tomorrow?"

This time Tang Yiyi didn’t refuse but made a request: "Of course I want to go, but... I have something in the afternoon, so I only have half a day. Is that okay?"

Song Yunxiu had no objection to this; he wasn’t making a living by hunting but merely wanted to team up with Tang Yiyi to observe this person up close.

After arranging with Song Yunxiu, Tang Yiyi decided to leave Tang Yuan at home. She wasn’t comfortable leaving Tang Yuan alone, so she directly contacted Pang Xiao to help arrange care. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Though Pang Xiao was in Hope City, having grown up in Wu City, after Tang Yiyi contacted him, he quickly arranged for two trustworthy superpower users to help watch over the child.

After reviewing the profiles of the two individuals, Tang Yiyi had Pudding investigate their backgrounds, and finding them to be of good character and trustworthy, she finalized the arrangements.

Pang Zhi stayed with her until evening, and although his injuries hadn’t fully healed, he was much better. He couldn’t remain there indefinitely, and to prevent the situation from becoming unmanageable, Tang Yiyi drove him out, dropping him off at a secluded spot without surveillance and returned his personal terminal.

Pang Zhi’s personal terminal had been turned off for a while; he didn’t hurry to turn it on. After Tang Yiyi left, he walked down an alley, took a bus to another district, ensuring that Pang De and Sun Yue wouldn’t trace it back to Tang Yiyi before turning the terminal back on.

By this time, Luo Sheng and the nine surviving people had already seen Pang De. Some were severely injured and even hospitalized, though Luo Sheng appeared ragged but had only suffered minor injuries.

With no news from Pang Zhi, and given the dire situation of these people, Pang De had already extinguished the last hope in his heart, confirming Pang Zhi’s death. However, since listening to Luo Sheng’s account, Sun Yue felt uneasy and paranoid, convinced that Pang Zhi wasn’t dead and had been rescued.

When Pang Zhi turned on his personal terminal, it was during the Pang family’s dinner time. Because of his "death," Pang De and Sun Yue had no appetite to eat. The personal terminal was equipped with a location chip, and as soon as Pang Zhi turned it on, Pang De’s personal terminal started ringing. He was frowning and, hearing the alarm, instinctively checked and, realizing it was a subordinate, immediately answered with a furrowed brow, "What’s going on? Have you found anything?"

This subordinate was in charge of investigating the incident involving Pang Zhi and had been monitoring Pang Zhi’s personal terminal. At first, he had no hope, but suddenly discovered Pang Zhi’s terminal’s location!

Seeing a small green dot moving on the map, he quickly contacted Pang De to report the news: "Chairman Pang, I just found that the Third Young Master’s personal terminal has been turned on!"

"What?" Pang De exclaimed, his face growing even darker, "This could very well be a conspiracy. Send a team over, and regardless of what the other side plans, capture them for me first!"

"Yes!" With the order given, the subordinate quickly moved into action.

Staring at the now-dark screen, Pang De’s fists tightened with anger boiling within him. He felt that Pang Zhi’s death was a deliberate setup by his business rivals, and now even after the death of his son, they wanted to exploit Pang Zhi’s personal terminal to trap him, showing utter disregard for him!

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, with an impulse to destroy everything!

Just then, his personal terminal rang again! Pang De glared at the screen in anger, only to see the words "Pang Zhi" displayed on it.

Someone was using Pang Zhi’s personal terminal to contact him! Who was this person daring to be so audacious? He wasn’t so old as to be useless yet!

With a sinister smile, Pang De chose to answer, determined to see who this person was!

The next moment, Pang Zhi’s 3D projection appeared on the screen, looking bewildered, but his words almost made Pang De burst with rage!

Pang Zhi said, "Dad, why did you call me so many times?"

That silly look, as if he knew nothing and nothing had happened!

Pang De squinted dangerously, staring intently at Pang Zhi, trying to discern the truth. Logically, since Pang Zhi was "dead," this person should be an impersonator intending to deceive him! But looking at his familiar foolish demeanor, Pang De couldn’t help but feel this was indeed his useless third son!

Trying to use logic to convince himself the person was fake, in the face of overwhelming emotions, that logic quickly crumbled! With the last bit of rationale, he probed, "Why are you alone? Where’s Luo Sheng and the others?"

Pang Zhi looked even more "bewildered," as foolish as one could get: "I don’t know. I fainted and when I woke up, I was in an alley and didn’t see anyone else!" (To be continued.
