Chapter 731
The huge mushroom fled away, seeming like a shred of shadow again . Lin Qiao realized that the mushroom was actually able to sense her . Once the distance between it and her was less than a hundred meters, the mushroom would react intensely .

Lin Qiao wasn’t able to approach it for now .
In that case…
She abruptly disappeared from where she was . A few seconds later, she flashed out of her space with the snake and the dog .
“Go! There is a giant running mushroom in the front! You guys go and outflank it . Don’t let it run!” Lin Qiao released the two beasts to chase the running mushroom together, her eyes glowing with interest .
“Owooo!” The zombie dog instantly darted out with excitement . It didn’t understand what ‘a giant running mushroom’ meant, but could sense a moving energy sphere where Lin Qiao was pointing at . The smart dog quickly figured out that she was talking about that moving energy sphere .
The snake shared the same thought with Bowwow . The two beasts swiftly rushed out, stirring up two gusts of wind while chasing behind the mushroom like two bolts of lightning .
Both Bowwow and Black had upgraded to level-six, and had their body conditions improved . Currently, they were both twice as fast as before . Before long, the giant mushroom realized that it was surrounded .
Soon, Lin Qiao showed up with a smile . Behind the mushroom was the river . Bowwow was standing before it, while Black and herself each took aside .

“Why don’t you keep running? Don’t forget that you are a mushroom! How can you be running so fast? That’s cheating!” Lin Qiao laughed to the mushroom which was standing by the riverside with its roots buried in the soil .
Clearly, it was very afraid of the water . It never dared to approach the river all the time .
“Owoo! Owo!” Bowwow excitedly wagged its furless tail and agitatedly barked at the mushroom, threatening to pounce on it . The dog fixed its glowing eyes on the mushroom while baring its teeth .
‘Eh? This vibe belongs to a plant, doesn’t it? How come it can run? ‘ The dog had a question in his mind .
Black coiled its body on the other side of the mushroom, coldly looking at the big mushroom as it let out its forked tongue from time to time . The snake wasn’t as excited as Bowwow, but it would occasionally flick its tail tip to show its curiosity toward the big mushroom .
The mushroom stayed by the riverside perfectly still, even though Lin Qiao was talking and the zombie dog was glaring at it fiercely . If the three didn’t follow the mushroom to the river, or if it didn’t look so weird, they might think that it was supposed to be there .
“Bowwow, go and give it a scratch . Let’s see what’ll happen,” Lin Qiao said to Bowwow .
“Owo!” Bowwow immediately gave a howl and jumped on the mushroom while swinging its forepaws at the mushroom cap .

Sensing Bowwow’s attack, the mushroom instantly shrank its cap even more tightly than before . Unexpectedly, it didn’t try to dodge the attack .
Cling! A high-pitched sound was heard .
The strong mushroom cap actually survived Bowwow’s claws .
Lin Qiao told Bowwow to give the mushroom a scratch, so the dog didn’t use a great strength . Therefore, its claws failed to do the mushroom any harm .
Right at that moment, the mushroom suddenly relaxed its cap . A strong stream of energy gushed out of the mushroom cap and brought out a puff of colorful powder .
The powder spread speedily in the air . Lin Qiao didn’t care about it, and neither did Bowwow . Unlike them, Black moved slightly backward, as it was having a sense of crisis . However, it was still a little late, as the snake inhaled some of that powder .
Lin Qiao started paying attention to Black’s reaction . She suddenly recalled how the big rat was attracted to the mushroom . Unlike the rat, the boar wasn’t attracted by the mushroom . She wondered if it was the gap between power levels or between species that caused the difference .
As she was looking at Black, the mushroom suddenly jumped up, then turned to Black and ran away again .

Black made no response to its movement, but let the mushroom run past it .
“Black!” Seeing that, Lin Qiao realized that something wasn’t right . She hurriedly went up to the snake to check on it . Meanwhile, she yelled at the dog, “Bowwow, go and get it!”
“Owo?” Bowwow glanced at Black, then turned to the mushroom which had nearly disappeared . The dog hesitated briefly .
Lin Qiao glanced at the mushroom which was running further and further away, then shouted at Bowwow, “Go! Black won’t die!”
The snake was just poisoned .
She quickly reached out a hand and sent Black back into her space, then turned and kept moving toward the running mushroom .
This time, the mushroom was running extra fast . It was faster than before by many times over . Lin Qiao and Bowwow actually failed to catch up with it .
They ran behind the mushroom for over ten miles, from the riverside park all the way to a hill .
‘Is it really okay for a mushroom to run all over the world?’ Lin Qiao said to herself .
“Owooooo!” Bowwow was too excited to think . While running, it barked loudly and caused a series of noises . The dog had completely no idea that it was supposed to keep quiet, or the mushroom might hear it and run even faster .
Clearly, the dog saw the running mushroom as an interesting toy .
Some loud noises were caused while Lin Qiao and the dog were chasing all over the hill behind the mushroom . The birds in the woods took fright and flew into the sky while some lower-leveled mutated animals darted everywhere with fear . Some higher-leveled mutated beasts only dared to stay at a distance away and watch . They had no courage to approach, but didn’t leave either .
As Lin Qiao and the zombie dog were trying to catch the mushroom, the second batch of Hades Base survivors were entering Hangzhou .
Those people divided into two groups . One group had relatively more superpowered members, but their moral quality didn’t improve along with their body condition . They were commoners before who hadn’t accepted any military or other kinds of training at all . After attaining superpowers, they became stronger and started to think of themselves as higher than the others, treating commoners like ants .
The other group was led by a few men who used to serve in the army . They trained the commoners in the cruel way that was often used in the army . As for their training tools, those were undoubtedly the zombies that could be found everywhere during the journey .
Through the training, some commoners grew the courage to pick up weapons and kill zombies . As their reaction speed rose gradually, they survived toughly . Some of them were weeded out during the trainings . Most of them died in the injuries caused by zombies .
The people who were leading the superpowered group believed that they should give on up the commoners, so a lot of trouble and food could be saved during the journey . However, the soldiers’ group disagreed in solidarity .
Those soldiers were strong, with good combat skills . Together, they made a force that was powerful enough to defend themselves against the zombies . Staying with them, the people in the superpowered group could save some efforts . Otherwise, they would have left without them long ago .
