Apocalypse Foodie System: Watch Her Cook!-Chapter 177 - 172: Your Turn

Pang Zhi clenched his fists in anger, his nerves tightly wound, wishing he could give that person a good beating! He knew that because of his appearance, these people looked down on him, but since they took a hefty reward, why should they despise him? If they didn’t want to do it, they could have refused this task. After accepting the task, they had the nerve to disdain him for being useless—how thick-skinned could they be?

Thinking of this, Pang Zhi sneered, "If you find it troublesome, we can go back right now! There are plenty of First Level Superpower Users in Safe City; it’s not like you’re the only one!"

Pang Zhi didn’t want to have a conflict with the other party, after all, they were outside Safe City and still had to work together. But he was confident that no matter how capable Sun Yue was, he couldn’t have bought off everyone here. Besides those bought by Sun Yue, no one else would want him to be in trouble!

If it was just a disdainful look, he could have endured it. But now the person was bullying him outright. If he continued to endure this, wouldn’t these people look down on him even more? Treat him like a dough ball to be bullied?

He wasn’t really an idiot; how could he allow these people to do whatever they wanted?

As soon as he said this, the person’s face flushed with anger, and he clenched his fists, ready to make a move: "You punk..."

Before he could finish his words, the Hunting Team Captain, Luo Sheng, sitting next to Pang Zhi, suddenly raised his eyelids and gave that person a cold look, scolding, "Zhang Yuan, apologize to the Third Young Master."

His voice was not loud, calm, and indifferent, not sounding fierce at all, unlike Zhang Yuan, who had a loud voice and menacing tone. But Zhang Yuan felt that Luo Sheng’s gaze was like a knife, cold and sharp, piercing into his bones, making him shiver.

Thus, even though he was unwilling, he still obediently apologized to Pang Zhi. Pang Zhi wasn’t a fool; he knew the principle of knowing when to stop. Luo Sheng’s imposing manner made him fearful, and he instinctively felt that this was not someone he could provoke, so he also readily accepted the apology.

A small storm was thus completely calmed.

However, as Luo Sheng closed his eyes to rest again, Zhang Yuan suddenly glared at Pang Zhi with a gaze as venomous as a snake, making Pang Zhi shiver. He realized that the earlier incident had left Zhang Yuan harboring a grudge, causing him some regret.

Zhang Yuan was big and burly, not looking like a smart person. At least everyone else in the vehicle, although they also looked down on Pang Zhi, only Zhang Yuan had directly warned him!

Others weren’t fools; they all understood that no matter how useless Pang Zhi was, he was still Pang De’s son, not someone they could afford to offend. Zhang Yuan understood this too, but he was too impulsive and underestimated Pang Zhi.

However, it’s precisely these kind of not so smart yet vengeful people that you should never easily offend. Because they’re not smart, they never consider consequences when doing things, and their retaliation can be crazier and they dare to do anything!

Pang Zhi originally thought these people wouldn’t dare let anything happen to him. He didn’t want to be kneaded like a dough by others, so he retorted. Who knew that this one sentence would make Zhang Yuan, this madman, bear a grudge!

He regretted it in his heart, but now that it had come to this, regretting was useless; he could only secretly remain vigilant and act according to circumstances.

Tang Yiyi was afraid of being suspected by the people in the vehicle, so she didn’t dare get too close, following from afar while keeping an eye on Pang Zhi’s movements. The red dot on the map kept moving, showing that the vehicle hadn’t stopped. Sun Yue’s people couldn’t act directly on the car, so Pang Zhi should still be safe. It was when the vehicle stopped and Pang Zhi faced the Mutant Beast that she had to worry!

After all, at such a distance, she could only roughly guess that Pang Zhi was not in life-threatening danger. She couldn’t know what was happening inside the car.

Now they were already outside of Safe City, and Pang Zhi had to face the Mutant Beast at any time. It was impossible for him to update his personal homepage status again.

The vehicle continued driving for a while and reached a relatively flat and well-sighted place. Luo Sheng told the driver to stop the car. Then he said to Pang Zhi: "Third Young Master, let’s do it here. I’ll have someone lead an adult Mutated Black Ant over. Follow my instructions, get off the car, and deal with the Mutated Black Ant, understand?"

Pang Zhi nodded nervously, taking out an Alloy Knife from the Space Button, tightly gripping the handle to calm his racing heartbeat.

Pang De, in an effort to trigger his awakening, went to great pains, intentionally giving him only an ordinary Alloy Knife, so that he wouldn’t rely too much on external tools but rely more on his own strength, hoping he’d naturally awaken his Superpower under the pressure of danger. So unless there was a threat to his life or risk of maiming, the Hunting Team would not intervene.

However, Pang Xiao didn’t trust Sun Yue, so he secretly prepared an Energy Gun and several special bullets for him. Although he also hoped Pang Zhi could awaken his Superpower, more than that he wanted Pang Zhi to stay alive!

The matter of the Energy Gun was unknown to Pang De as well as the Hunting Team. As for whether Sun Yue had instructed his people on anything, neither Pang Zhi nor Pang Xiao knew.

Luo Sheng was straightforward. After telling Pang Zhi, he didn’t wait for Pang Zhi to nod before making a gesture to a Speed Ability User among his subordinates. That person swiftly got out of the car and sprinted into the distance, disappearing in an instant.

The rough texture of the knife handle quickly soothed Pang Zhi. He didn’t know where Tang Yiyi was now, but he believed she wouldn’t let anything happen to him. So while quietly encouraging himself, he rolled his eyes and observed the surroundings.

Luo Sheng chose this place well; the ground was flat, reducing the difficulty and risk of his hunting mission. At the same time, the area was surrounded by short shrubs or vine-like wild grass, providing great visibility, unsuitable for hiding people or ambushes, clearly showing some thoughtfulness.

Yet, despite this, Pang Zhi dared not trust him. The Hunting Team consisted of Pang De’s people. Pang Xiao originally wanted to arrange bodyguards to protect him but was refused by Pang De. Pang De didn’t trust others, and the members of the Hunting Team had followed him for many years, his trusted subordinates.

Unfortunately, Pang Zhi dared not trust any of them!

Sun Yue was too well-hidden. Even after investigating discreetly for a long time, Pang Xiao couldn’t figure out who among these people belonged to Sun Yue. During his training, Pang Zhi had also secretly observed, but still found nothing.

So at this moment, he had to be wary of everyone!

Soon, that person returned, deliberately controlling his speed so the adult Mutated Black Ant could continuously chase after him. When the Mutated Black Ant was five meters away from the vehicle, Luo Sheng suddenly gave Pang Zhi a push, saying coldly, "Third Young Master, it’s your turn." (To be continued.
