Chapter 1154: The Dog’s Natural Enemy

Lan Lu and Chang Qingqing brought Dong Xiaowei back toward their base. On the way, they found the car that they hid forehanded and sat in. In the front seat, Chang Qingqing turned and looked at Lan Lu, who was in the backseat, and asked him, “Are we going back just like this?”

“Or?” Lan Lu looked at her confusedly, “Do you have any unfinished job?”

Chang Qingqing shook her head as she pointed at him and said, “Not me. You should have something else to do.”

“Me? What else do I need to do? My job is to keep him safe,” Lan Lu looked at Chang Qingqing with confusion. While speaking, he pointed at Dong Xiaowei, who was leaning against the back of the seat with his eyes closed.

Chang Qingqing pressed her lips together for a second and said, “I’m talking about the level-eight nucleus. Where do you plan to get that for her?”

“Oh!” Lan Lu finally understood her meaning. He thought for a moment and said, “Level-eight… hmm, there are only three level-eight superpowered people and two zombie emperors so far. One zombie emperor has already gone missing while the other one was… Quite some level-eight mutated beasts can be found these days though. No level-eight mutated plants were seen so far. I guess I need to get her another level-eight beast nucleus. Oh my, she already has the level-eight fire bear’s nucleus, and I think the black wolf won’t be able to survive her pursuit either. All Beings Base seems to be stronger than we thought.”

All Being Base didn’t have a large human population, but many in that base were rather powerful, including a great number of top-leveled zombies! Except for Huaxia Base and Sea City Base, which base had so many top-leveled superpower possessors? Not to mention the fact that zombies were always stronger than humans at the same levels.

Hearing what Lan Lu said, Chang Qingqing nodded in agreement, “So, do you think that she doesn’t urgently need your level-eight nucleus?”

Lan Lu responded to her smilingly, “She didn’t ask me to give it to her immediately. She didn’t say when she’ll need it.”

“You’re not gonna repudiate the debt, are you?” Chang Qingqing rolled her eyes and said.

Lan Lu quickly shook her head and said, “I dare not to do that! I’m just gonna wait until she really needs it. Repudiate the debt? I’m afraid that she might kick my a*s. That zombie lady is violent.”

Chang Qingqing turned around and snorted scornfully, “I knew you don’t have it in you. Even if the zombie lady wouldn’t kick your ass, Wu Chengyue might.”

Hearing about that sweet couple from his subordinate, Lan Lu pulled a long face as he looked at the back of Chang Qingqing’s head and said, “Can’t you say something good? Why did you mention him at this time? I don’t want to hear about their relationship! I think we need to find someone to discipline you.”

Chang Qingqing’s ears reddened slightly. She turned and scolded, “Pah! Stay out of my business! Disciplines yourself, you old bachelor!”

Lan Lu had trouble maintaining the smile on his face. “What? What did you call me? I’m so handsome and young! How could you use those awful words on me!”

Chang Qingqing immediately widened her eyes as she stared at him and said, “Do you have any sense of shame? You’re about forty years old, aren’t you? You’re an old man! Young and handsome? Ming, what do you think?”

While speaking, she turned and patted the driver on his shoulder.

Ming, the young driver, gave her a sideways glance without knowing how to react, “Qing, can you please not drag me into your battle?”

At that moment, Lin Qiao and her zombie friends blocked a zombie beast’s way. She turned and looked at Bowwow, speaking to the dog with surprise, “Oi, you were so brave that you even bit the wolf king’s butt just now. Why are you shrinking now? This one isn’t higher-leveled than you are. What are you afraid of?”

Bowwow, who was hiding behind Lin Qiao, stuck his head out and glanced at the zombie beast which was quietly standing on a rock nearby. In the next second, it shrank back and gave a howl.

“Owoooo…”

Earlier in the poisonous forest, Lin Qiao sensed some zombie vibes coming from long distances away. To her surprise, the one nearest to her was from a dog. At the sight of that zombie dog which had fluffy black hair, bared long and sharp teeth, Bowwow hid behind Lin Qiao cowardly.

That was a huge Tibetan mastiff, even larger than the wolf king. It was, of course, much larger than Bowwow in size. Added with its fluffy hair, it looked actually like a bear. If it weren’t for its huge tail which had curled into a large circle, it wouldn’t look like a dog at all.

“No wonder Bowwow is afraid of it. That’s a Tibetan mastiff while Bowwow is a…” Standing nearby, Yan Xiao spent a short while observing the enormous fluffy dog that was calmly confronting her and her friends, then turned to give Bowwow a glance. “Thankfully, Bowwow isn’t a husky… But you… Bowwow, aren’t you twenty-five percent husky?”

“Wow!” Bowwow barked at her with discontentment. He was a shepherd dog!

“It’s only at level-six, but it’s already twice as big as you are,” Yan Xiao laughed at Bowwow.

“Errr…” Bowwow immediately bared his teeth and gave her a deep roar. How dare she laugh at him!

“Why are you yelling at me? Fight that one if you’re so strong. That’s your brother! It’s much closer to you than the wolf king! Hehe…” Yan Xiao didn’t take the dog’s threat seriously at all. She pointed at the huge dog with a smile and said to Bowwow.

“Owooooo!” Bowwow turned and looked at the huge fluffy dog right in the eyes, then immediately flinched.

Everyone present found his reaction funny and shared the same thought—’Has this dog finally met his natural enemy? Finally, there’s someone teaching him a lesson!’

The silly dog had been such a reckless trouble-maker, and he always hindered the others!

Black slid off the tree nearby and coiled his body, rearing up his head as he stared at the giant, fluffy dog. At that moment, the zombie Tibetan mastiff suddenly wagged its large tail and barked at Lin Qiao and her friends.

“Woo… woo…” Its voice was deep and resonant.

After that, the dog suddenly turned and left, turning into a shred of shadow and disappearing.

“Eh? It ran away!” said Ye Qingxian with surprise, “I thought he’d charge at us.”

Lin Qiao gave him a glance and said, “That’s a mutated beast after all. Its memory is gone, but it’s at level-six already. Its instincts have woken up long ago. it’s smart, too. We are clearly stronger than it, so it obviously ran away. Why would it stay? To wait and be slaughtered by us?”

Ye Qingxian looked at Lin Qiao and said, “Are you gonna let it leave just like that?”

‘Didn’t you bring us here to get that dog?’

Lin Qiao pointed at the rock that the dog trod on earlier and said, “You think I’m here for the dog? You’re wrong. I’m here for what’s underground.”

“Underground?” Hearing what she said, all the others turned to where she was pointing at.

Bang! Right at that moment, the rock suddenly exploded and exposed a hole. From the hole, countless dark yellow branches with dry and cracked surface reached out.

Bang! Bang! Bang! At the same time, countless similar branches burst from the ground, swinging in the air while coming at Lin Qiao and her friends.

A vibe that belonged to a level-seven mutated plant spread immediately.
