Apocalypse Foodie System: Watch Her Cook!-Chapter 182 - 177: Escape!

As the vehicle tilted, Luo Sheng asked with a cold face, "Did you hear that sound just now?"

The people inside the car were bewildered, even Pang Zhi’s heart wouldn’t stop trembling! Pang Zhi recognized Tang Yiyi’s voice, but he was too weak now, and he didn’t want to draw attention to Tang Yiyi, so he said nothing and pretended not to know.

One of the vice-captains asked, "Could there be someone nearby?" 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Luo Sheng replied grimly, "Regardless, we need to leave this damned place! Wu Tao, try to see if the car can still start! Don’t just stand there dumbfounded!"

Luo Sheng heard Tang Yiyi’s voice clearly, and he knew the word she said was "beware," with a hint of panic in it, indicating that she harbored no ill intent and likely saw something.

However, he wasn’t in the mood to think about where she was; his only concern was what exactly attacked the car.

Wu Tao was trying to start the car, but for some unknown reason, it wouldn’t ignite. Meanwhile, Tang Yiyi could clearly see the Red Refining Snake hidden in the grass spraying fire again, destroying the wheels on the other side of the vehicle.

The toxic fire was immensely powerful, devouring the tires in an instant, and the metal wheels turned red and corroded. With wheels like these, even if the vehicle could start, returning to Safe City was wishful thinking!

With the wheels destroyed, the car tilted again, but this time it tilted back, not swaying to one side like before. However, the people in the car weren’t relieved; their faces grew more grim, and their hearts sank even deeper!

Someone said, "No way! We can’t just sit here waiting to die, we have to get out of the car!"

Upon hearing this, someone retorted angrily, "Easy for you to say, why don’t you get out now? Do you know what’s out there? We all know the car’s defense capabilities, and yet it destroyed our wheels so easily. It’s not something we can deal with! Going out is suicide!"

Soon, arguments erupted inside the car, everyone was panicking, and emotions were naturally running high.

Luo Sheng, annoyed and furious, roared, "Enough! What’s all this noise for? Wang Tong! Get out now, be careful, and see what that thing is! Try to lure it away! Liu Quan, once Wang Tong lures it away, you get out and use your superpower to repair the car!"

He paused, thought it over, and, feeling uneasy, assigned ten people to cover Liu Quan, while the rest waited for his orders.

Wang Tong felt bitter inside after hearing this; the thing outside was clearly not easy to handle, and going out was risking his life! Yet Luo Sheng’s orders were absolute; even if afraid, he dared not disobey. Otherwise, offending Luo Sheng could cost him his life!

Besides, they couldn’t stay trapped in the car indefinitely; they had to go out and see what the situation was, solve the issue, and escape before other mutant beasts arrived!

So he gritted his teeth and dashed out swiftly!

The people inside the car were anxious, and Tang Yiyi, hiding in the trees, was also worried. Too many unexpected incidents had occurred today; she thought the mutant beasts were already a massive trouble, little knowing a Third Level Red Refining Snake would show up here!

She held a gun but dared not fire. The scales of the Third Level Red Refining Snake were too hard, and her energy gun was ineffective, which would only provoke the snake to attack her instead!

Although worried about Pang Zhi in the car, she wasn’t willing to sacrifice herself to rescue him! Besides, there were also Sun Yue’s people in the car! If she got entangled with the Red Refining Snake, there would be no one to protect Pang Zhi!

So she could only wait!

Thankfully, the system concealed her energy fluctuations, or the Red Refining Snake would’ve turned to attack her upon hearing her shout!

The Red Refining Snake was over four meters long, with a body as thick as an adult woman’s arm, slender and thin. Although the terrain here was flat, the ground was covered in wild grass, allowing it to hide in the grass, undetected at first glance!

Wang Tong had speed enhancement but no enhanced vision, and in his panic, he kept scanning but found nothing. The Red Refining Snake’s body was too narrow, hidden in the grass it was invisible, unlike Mutated Black Ants or Mutant Rats, which were noticeable unless the grass was very tall.

Even worse, this Red Refining Snake clearly had a high intelligence! It didn’t rush to attack; instead, it quietly hid in the grass, only raising its head and launching when Wang Tong turned his attention elsewhere!

The subtle change in the air behind him alerted Wang Tong to the danger, causing him to dodge immediately. His speed saved him, avoiding the Red Refining Snake’s strike and escaping its bite.

However, his relief was premature!

Everything happened in an instant; he hadn’t even clearly seen the assailant when, just after the brief sigh of relief from narrowly avoiding danger, he was struck by the snake’s fire!

"Ah————"

The Red Refining Snake’s flame was scorching, accompanied by intense fire poison, and the basketball-sized ball of fire hit Wang Tong’s face directly. This time, he couldn’t dodge; the moment the flame touched his skin, the intense pain made him scream in agony.

Inside the car, the screams increased the panic. Luo Sheng kept urging the driver, Wu Tao, "Wu Tao? Done yet? Still can’t?"

Liu Quan and the other ten designated people swallowed nervously, their hearts racing. They had almost gone out!

Seeing their relief, Luo Sheng, unable to take it anymore, yelled furiously, "Idiots! Did you get a good look at that thing? Get out there and fight; if we don’t kill it, we’re all done for here!"

Just as he finished speaking, Liu Quan exclaimed, "Boss! That’s a Third Level Red Refining Snake! We need to run!"

Run? How? The car was already unusable. To escape, they’d have to abandon it!

Everyone realized this; they instinctively glanced at Pang Zhi lying in bed, then quickly withdrew their gaze. Luo Sheng covertly glanced at the camera’s position and said, "No! We can’t abandon Third Young Master, everyone out to fight!" Meanwhile, he subtly signaled his subordinates in an angle the camera couldn’t capture.

Having followed him for a long time, they instantaneously understood his meaning — abandon the vehicle for their lives, but put on an act of desperately trying to save Pang Zhi!

Quickly, someone expressed they couldn’t leave Pang Zhi behind and emphasized taking down the Red Refining Snake, even at the cost of their lives, to let Pang Zhi survive!

Then, with their weapons, they all rushed out of the car! Leaving Pang Zhi weakly lying on the small bed, his consciousness slowly fading into darkness. (To be continued.
