Apocalypse Foodie System: Watch Her Cook!-Chapter 65 - 61: Caught Off Guard

Since receiving the warning from the opponent that day, Tang Yiyi has been very cautious. She doesn’t know when the opponent will make a move or how, so she can only be extra careful not to give them any leverage.

The magic patterns on Milk Tea’s forehead were also hidden by her using dye, along with the effects of the energy restriction bracelet, making it look no different from an ordinary pet dog. She still dared not give Sun Jian any of the ant meat, the scene outside the city made her extremely vigilant, even though Sun Jian’s character is timid, she dared not trust easily anymore!

The lure of the mutated ant meat is too great; now is absolutely not the time to be exposed!

In the blink of an eye, three days passed, and Tang Yiyi’s small shop business got better and better, but the trouble she worried about hadn’t happened. The opponent didn’t contact her again, as if nothing had ever happened, but whenever Tang Yiyi opened that private letter, looking at the five warning-filled words, she knew this was not her imagination!

That day, Sun Jian went out to deliver as usual. As soon as he left, Milk Tea jumped in front of Tang Yiyi, raised its neck, staring at her with big blue eyes, impatiently urging, "Ant meat! Ant meat! Give me ant meat quickly!"

Tang Yiyi squinted at it, couldn’t help but think that this little rascal might be a bit too smart. Because she dared not let Sun Jian know she could handle mutated black ant meat, she always waited until Sun Jian went out to deliver before taking out the ant meat. Over time, Milk Tea noticed this pattern, and whenever Sun Jian stepped out, it rushed in front of Tang Yiyi for its meat.

Sometimes when Sun Jian left a bit later, it would glare at him, wishing to glare him out! If Tang Yiyi hadn’t discovered early and firmly suppressed this little rascal, who knows what despicable behavior it would do just for food!

Tang Yiyi rubbed its chubby head, lectured it as routine, then took out the ant meat, sliced it, mixed it with sauce, and put it in Milk Tea’s food bowl. Seeing the food, its indifferent attitude instantly turned around 180 degrees; it started rubbing its head, wagging its tail, rolling around to sell cuteness, expressing loyalty, and finally dragged the food bowl to the corner to eat.

Ever since Tang Yiyi was stimulated outside the city and warned when she returned, she became fierce, not only increasing her daily exercise but also training Milk Tea. The more intelligent the mutant beast, the more arrogant it becomes. Even though Milk Tea has been contracted by her, it doesn’t mean it won’t turn against her in the future!

Moreover, since Milk Tea is her contracted beast, it will be her battle partner in the future. If the trust level isn’t enough, it would be more of a burden than a partner.

So after Tang Yiyi figured it out, she formulated a training plan: firstly, to cultivate mutual trust, secondly, to boost Milk Tea’s favorability to prevent future betrayal, and thirdly, to grind down Milk Tea’s nature to prevent it from becoming unruly and doing anything bad!

At first, Milk Tea was not used to it, but later it went along with her under the barrage of Tang Yiyi’s food.

Tang Yiyi was satisfied with Milk Tea’s reaction as it ate happily in the corner and was just thinking to try a different cooking method next time when her personal terminal suddenly rang.

Listening to the abrupt ringing, Tang Yiyi’s heart skipped a beat, with a sense of foreboding. She quickly opened her personal terminal, then from the speaker came Sun Jian’s panic-stricken voice: "Yiyi! Something happened! I’ve been plotted against! Please come quickly!"

Sun Jian’s voice was cut off at this point, and in the next moment, Tang Yiyi’s personal terminal received an electronic map marked with coordinates showing Sun Jian’s current location.

Tang Yiyi hurriedly changed her clothes, instructed Milk Tea to stay home obediently, then rushed out the door heading to Sun Jian’s location.

On the road, Tang Yiyi kept dialing Sun Jian’s contact number, but no one answered, obviously something happened on Sun Jian’s side, leaving him no chance to answer!

Tang Yiyi speculated on various possible situations, her heart sinking continuously. Even though she had already guessed the opponent would strike, when it truly happened, she was caught off guard after all!

Sun Jian, you mustn’t have anything wrong!

Tang Yiyi silently said in her heart, sped up heading towards the incident point. She didn’t have a vehicle, so she could only take the bus; by the time she arrived, 43 minutes had passed since Sun Jian contacted her.

Getting off the bus and turning a corner, Tang Yiyi saw a lot of people gathered ahead. She couldn’t clearly see what was happening in the crowd but heard the clamor and endless shouting.

Her heart tightened, quickly advancing forward. It was originally a narrow alleyway, yet now it was packed with people, with some guards standing in the crowd as if watching the commotion. Tang Yiyi frowned, realizing this situation was unusual.

The security in Safe City is very good, with many places having guard patrols; once disputes happen, people would quickly come to handle them. Yet so much time had passed and these people were still here, even the guards who came to hear the commotion did nothing—Tang Yiyi wouldn’t believe if there wasn’t any hidden agenda!

She hadn’t approached when she heard a sharp male voice shouting, "What’s the deal with Superpower Users? Does having superpowers mean they can bully ordinary people? Does having superpowers mean they can hit someone without taking responsibility? There’s no such reason!"

As soon as he finished, someone echoed, "Right! There’s no such reason! They must take responsibility!"

"Yes! They must take responsibility!"

"We must demand an explanation!"

...

Tang Yiyi listened to these jeering voices, coldly snorted; the opponent did everything they could to deal with her! Too lazy to listen further, Tang Yiyi simply raised her voice, "What are you talking about? Why not tell me?"

Because of anger, her voice carried some coldness and a faint forcefulness, unconsciously overwhelming those who were jeering. Some opened their mouths but couldn’t find their voice, unable to say a word for a long time. More reverted their heads involuntarily, upon seeing Tang Yiyi with a cold face, automatically made way for her.

Tang Yiyi stepped forward, her stern gaze sweeping over the faces of the guards watching the commotion one by one, then the middle-aged man who was shouting fiercely, the plump woman beside him, the old man lying on the ground moaning in pain with white hair, and finally Sun Jian who looked guilty with bruised face!

Beside Sun Jian, the electric bike he salvaged from the junkyard, cleaned thoroughly and coated with new paint was lying on the ground like trash; nearby packed food scattered, soup spilled, emitting a rich aroma.

These were her hours of hard work, now spilled like rubbish on the ground. Tang Yiyi only felt her heart hit hard by something, aching heavily; then she fought off the sting in her eyes and forced herself to look away, asking Sun Jian, "Sun Jian, tell me, what exactly happened?"
