Apocalypse Foodie System: Watch Her Cook!-Chapter 152 - 147: On Purpose

Tang Yiyi asked Pudding to help her investigate the Jingfeng Hunting Team’s background, and indeed found a lot of dirt. In simple terms, this hunting team is quite unscrupulous in their dealings. As Zhou Yang said, their regular members are about 40 people. When they encounter difficult or dangerous tasks, they deliberately add people as cannon fodder or bait.

If you search online carefully, you can easily find this information, but since both parties signed an agreement, their behavior is not considered illegal, and even if someone reports them, there’s little they can do.

However, very few people would really risk their lives against them. The temporary recruits they hire are usually not superpower users, but rather ordinary people on the brink of poverty, unaware of the Jingfeng Hunting Team’s methods. These people want to earn credit points but dare not venture out alone, so joining the hunting team seems like a good choice. But if they accidentally join Jingfeng, there’s practically no return.

This time, the Jingfeng Hunting Team suddenly set their sights on Zhou Yang’s team, possibly preparing for a big upcoming mission. However, they probably didn’t expect Zhou Yang and his team to actually resist.

Tang Yiyi speculated that this time going out of the city required caution. The Jingfeng Hunting Team’s reputation is not very good, and she dared not believe they would truly keep their promises.

However, she had some trust in Zhou Yang’s words. She guessed that if Zhou Yang’s team completed the mission, the Jingfeng Hunting Team might pull some tricks, but probably wouldn’t go overboard, as they cared about their reputation in the community, and being too ruthless would ruin their own future.

Therefore, although wary, Tang Yiyi did not abandon the mission. After all, the Red Fire Scorpion is hard to find. By herself, she wouldn’t know how long it would take to find one, so giving up would be unwise.

Early the next day, after feeding Tang Yuan milk, she carefully coaxed him to settle down, left Milk Tea to watch over him, and went out with Pudding.

Ever since Pudding got used to staying outside, it refused to go back to the System Space and insisted on staying outside. If Tang Yiyi didn’t agree, it would threaten to go on strike. Tang Yiyi made a pact with it that while outside, it must disguise itself as an ordinary pet hamster and not speak, which Pudding had managed for a long time, so it agreed quite readily without causing trouble for her.

Tang Yiyi, dressed in snug battle armor, rode her war chariot to the agreed city gate and saw Zhou Yang and the others waiting from afar. They were driving a four-wheeled war chariot, spacious enough with 7 seats. Knowing this, Tang Yiyi didn’t leave her own vehicle at a storage point but instead stored it in her space button.

Although she could ride with Zhou Yang’s team, she was always cautious and kept her vehicle in the space button for safety.

Not everyone going out as a hunter owns a space button, so a dedicated vehicle storage point was set up near the city gate for those people.

Though it wasn’t yet 7 o’clock, the area near the city gate was already bustling. Many people saw Tang Yiyi storing her vehicle, and couldn’t help but glance at her, their eyes showing complex expressions.

Seeing the atmosphere wasn’t right, Zhou Yang quickly beckoned Tang Yiyi to get in the vehicle, fearing trouble might arise. After all, this was close to Zone Five, where the management was relatively chaotic, and trouble was easily started.

Pudding stood on Tang Yiyi’s shoulder, and the rush of the ride had ruffled its fur all over. It was busy grooming itself with its small paws while its bright red eyes scanned the surroundings. While grooming, it telepathically communicated with Tang Yiyi, "Host, you’re really imprudent. I guarantee many people were thinking about how to snatch your space button just now!"

This voice went straight to Tang Yiyi’s mind. No one else could hear it or know that an unremarkable little hamster would be so talkative.

Tang Yiyi: "You’re overthinking it."

Although Zone Five was indeed chaotic, near the city gate, most were heading out for hunting. These people were mostly sharp, and Tang Yiyi believed they wouldn’t rashly attack someone with a space button, especially not at the city gate.

Pudding continued to chatter, "Host, be honest, did you do that on purpose? You’re not usually this reckless!"

Tang Yiyi didn’t respond this time because Zhou Yang was talking to her. He had noticed the earlier scene and thought Tang Yiyi was too reckless, so he couldn’t help but advise her not to do it again. He instinctively thought Tang Yiyi, who usually stayed in Safe City, knew too little about the dangers outside the city, so he took the opportunity to give her plenty of safety tips for outings.

These tips were priceless tools, taught by others or gleaned through experience. Knowing they were well-intentioned, Tang Yiyi listened intently.

Zhao Feng, Li Zheng, and Wu Tian were all there. Wu Tian was driving, Li Zheng was in the passenger seat, and Zhao Feng sat next to Zhou Yang, leaving the spacious back seat for Tang Yiyi.

After Zhou Yang finished speaking, the other three added their thoughts, partly out of gratitude for Tang Yiyi joining the mission. Initially, when Li Zheng suggested Zhou Yang ask Tang Yiyi for help, they didn’t know her exact superpower level, only thinking her and the mutated husky would be valuable assets.

It wasn’t until after Zhou Yang’s meeting with Tang Yiyi that they learned she was already a first-level superpower user, a decent qualification for her age, solidifying their previous speculations about her identity.

Of course, they would never have guessed that Tang Yiyi was not the young member of a hidden family they assumed her to be, but rather a fugitive with a criminal record, who had even given birth just two months ago!

They took the mission seriously, so despite the appointed time being 7 o’clock, they arrived at 6:30. When Tang Yiyi appeared without Milk Tea, they were a bit disappointed. But she carried a much stronger aura than before, so even if they felt some regret, they didn’t dare ask directly.

After exchanges of greetings, Zhou Yang shared his experiences with Tang Yiyi, leading the others to say a few more words, earning some genuine sentiment as well as an attempt to dissolve any barriers between them.

After all, after several months apart, there was a certain estrangement. Under normal circumstances, this wouldn’t matter much, but given that they would perform the mission together, teamwork was vital, so they naturally wanted to seize the opportunity to become more familiar.

Tang Yiyi considered this as well, so after Li Zheng and the others spoke, she responded with a few words. It didn’t take long for them to become familiar again. (To be continued.
