Apocalypse Foodie System: Watch Her Cook!-Chapter 141 - 136: Something Happened!

Not to mention how furious Sun Yue became after seeing what Pang Xiao sent, both Pang Zhi and Tang Yiyi in distant Qinghe City were completely unaware of it.

The sudden appearance of Xiong Wei made Pang Zhi quite anxious for a while. No matter where he went, the two bodyguards sent by Pang Xiao followed him closely. It was only after quite some time without any abnormalities occurring that they finally felt a bit relieved.

In the blink of an eye, Tang Yuan had been born for a month. He had long since transformed from a red-skinned little monkey at birth into a chubby white dumpling, which made Tang Yiyi unable to put him down.

Not only Tang Yiyi, but even Milk Tea and Pudding liked to circle around him. Milk Tea took the small blanket it slept with and occupied the spot next to the crib, guarding it all day while dozing off. Pudding, on the other hand, taking advantage of its small size, would sneak onto the crib when Tang Yiyi wasn’t paying attention, using its colorful little bell to attract Tang Yuan’s attention.

Tang Yuan’s eyes had opened not long after birth, his pupils round and swirling around as he looked everywhere. Whenever he saw Tang Yiyi, he would get extremely excited, gripping her with his chubby little fingers, not letting her leave.

Tang Yiyi poured almost all her love into this little child, watching him grow day by day, an indescribable happiness filling her heart. She wished she could spend every minute and every second of every day with the child, even putting the Tang Family’s business after the child.

However, recently, she encountered a problem. This problem was closely related to her own superpower!

Before the child was about to be born, Tang Yiyi had faintly touched upon the opportunity to advance. She originally thought it wouldn’t be long before she could successfully advance to Second Level, but even after a month since the child was born, she still stayed stuck at the First Level Peak bottleneck, unable to advance.

Recently, she suddenly had a vague realization that she was still missing something. She had Pudding help check her body and finally found a possibility. The fire element energy she absorbed had not reached the critical point for her to advance, which was why she couldn’t progress.

If this assumption was correct, then she only needed to absorb enough fire element energy to successfully advance. Following this clue down, Tang Yiyi came across a type of mutant beast called the Red Fire Scorpion. And mature Red Fire Scorpions were all Second Level Mutant Beasts, perfect for her to absorb.

However, the Red Fire Scorpions were extremely venomous and loved to hide, which made them difficult to capture. Tang Yiyi had previously exchanged a large number of mutant beast corpses on the black market, but unfortunately, they were all basic or first-level mutant beasts, with no Red Fire Scorpions among them. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

If she wanted them, she either had to post a task on the black market to purchase them or go out of the city to hunt them herself.

Rather than going to the black market, Tang Yiyi preferred to go out of the city to hunt herself, but she couldn’t bring herself to leave Tang Yuan. Tang Yuan was too young, she couldn’t possibly take him out of the city; she could only leave him at the Tang Family, but then she wouldn’t be able to watch over him constantly.

This dilemma kept her undecided until after Tang Yuan’s full moon.

She didn’t tell anyone about this, only Pudding knew. However, Pudding always pretended to be a pet hamster to others, so even Pang Zhi and Zhang Xue didn’t know it could talk, naturally preventing them from learning the truth from Pudding.

Eventually, Tang Yiyi had no choice but to make a trip to the black market. Unfortunately, the Red Fire Scorpion’s venom was so potent that even a slight sting could be fatal, and nobody was willing to capture them.

It was at this moment that Tang Yiyi suddenly received a message from one of Pang Zhi’s bodyguards. Judging by the content, it seemed to be sent secretly, saying that Pang Zhi insisted on going out of the city and asking her to help persuade him.

Tang Yiyi immediately thought of the incident when Pang Zhi had a close call while leaving the city last time. Her face instantly darkened. She hurriedly dialed Pang Zhi’s contact number only to hear a message saying he was out of the service area, which intensified her uneasy premonition. She then called the bodyguard’s contact number, but still received the same message!

Clinging to her last hope, she dialed the contact number of the remaining bodyguard, but unfortunately, the result was no different, and he too was out of the service area.

Clearly, something had happened to the three of them.

Tang Yiyi immediately asked Pudding for help: "Pudding! Can you find out Pang Zhi’s location right now?"

Pudding immediately hacked into the network to begin searching for Pang Zhi’s location. After about three minutes, it suddenly said, "No good! The other party used a signal jammer, making it impossible to locate Xiao Fatty."

Tang Yiyi angrily slammed a fist on the table, then suddenly said, "That’s right! Didn’t the bodyguard say Xiao Zhi wanted to leave the city? Check the surveillance at the four city gates and see if you can spot him."

Pudding got busy right away, while Tang Yiyi paced back and forth restlessly, constantly recalling what Pang Zhi had said. In the midst of pulling surveillance, before the result came out, Tang Yiyi gave another command: "Pudding, first check on Xiao Yu and He Lin, to see if you can find out their current locations."

Pudding had no choice but to look up these two people, and soon it said, "Host, we couldn’t find He Lin’s location, but I found Xiao Yu’s."

Tang Yiyi immediately said, "Tell me, where is he now?"

Pudding sent Xiao Yu’s coordinates to her. Tang Yiyi saw that Xiao Yu was near the city gate at the Fifth Ring and hadn’t moved. After explaining briefly to Zhang Xue and entrusting her with the care of Tang Yuan, she left immediately. The place where Xiao Yu was wasn’t difficult to find, and she quickly located it.

However, when Tang Yiyi found Xiao Yu, she was a bit surprised. She had originally thought that Pang Zhi’s incident this time was related to Xiao Yu, but upon her arrival, she discovered that Xiao Yu was actually staying at a tank repair shop, wearing oily overalls, seemingly working.

No sooner had she entered the shop than an attentive clerk came up to her: "Miss, are you here to have a tank repaired? Our technology here is excellent!"

Tang Yiyi didn’t say anything, just walked straight up to Xiao Yu and suddenly said, "Xiao Yu, I came specially to find you."

Xiao Yu looked up at her, visibly stunned, frowning with a puzzled expression: "Who are you? I don’t know you."

Tang Yiyi smiled: "But I know you, you’re Pang Zhi’s classmate, right?"

Referring to Pang Zhi made Xiao Yu’s face change instantly. A flash of panic crossed his eyes, quickly hidden by his superb acting. He responded with cold indifference, unwilling to say more, "I am indeed Pang Zhi’s classmate, but we’re not close. What do you want from me?"

Tang Yiyi stepped on the part Xiao Yu was about to pick up, bending down with a sharp gaze, "You may not be close with Pang Zhi, but you seem quite familiar with He Lin. And two months ago, you deliberately lured Pang Zhi out of the city, didn’t you?"

At the mention of two months ago, Xiao Yu became even more panicked. He raised his hand to push Tang Yiyi away but was kicked in the stomach, immediately contorting with pain. Seeing Tang Yiyi step on him, he turned pale with fright and blurted, "I... I don’t know anything." (To be continued.
