Sun Lunan looked into that direction, making guesses.

“What’s wrong?” One of the others asked him.

All the rats and zombies were suddenly gone, so the whole area abruptly fell into silence. The people didn’t know what to do, as they hadn’t adapted to that sudden change.

Sun Lunan suddenly pointed at the direction that Lin Qiao took and said, “Let’s go that way!”

“Why?” The others looked at him with confusion.

Sun Lunan blinked and said, “Just now, I felt that something was there. That thing is the reason why those mutated rats and zombies suddenly left. But, I don’t sense danger from that thing. So, I think we’ll probably be safer if we follow it.”

Hearing that, the others instantly had their eyes glowed, “Really? Are you sure? Can you tell what it is?”

Sun Lunan stuck his head out of the car window and sniffed around, then took his head back and replied, “I don’t know what it is. Let’s not get too close, but only move in this direction.”

He had animal power: he was a dog. Dogs had a super keen sense of smell, and were very sensitive to dangers. Therefore, people had been seeing him as a guide. They felt that the way he chose would be safer than the others.

Sun Lunan was sitting in the first car of the motorcade. Wherever his car went, the other vehicles would follow.

Meanwhile, Lin Qiao and the three creatures kept moving forward. But soon, she sensed with surprise that the motorcade had been following behind her, keeping a fixed distance from her.

Were those people able to sense her presence?

“Hiss…” Sensing those tails, Black was obviously a little unhappy. However, he was too lazy to make a move, as he just had a full meal. He let out his fork-tongued from time to time, and his eyes showed an impatient look.

“Don’t move. Let’s hide and see what they are doing here,” Lin Qiao blinked and then said to the three.

Black always liked to hide. Once Lin Qiao gave her word, he was already gone. Meanwhile, the mushroom directly drilled its roots into the ground, then sat down motionlessly and made itself look like a normal big mushroom.

They were in a forest park. The mutated trees in the surroundings had grown much taller than before, and many others had died.

The roads inside the park were rough. The motorcade had been moving along the edge of the park, so the distance between them and Lin Qiao slowly grew longer. Still, they moved in the same direction as she did.

As Lin Qiao stopped moving, Sun Lunan said to his people, “Wait, I think that thing just stopped.”

“We can’t keep following it. Besides, we’re going to the new base. That thing is not going there… Should we go and find out what it is? How about we make it go to Upper City Base together with us if we can? With that thing, we won’t need to worry about those rats anymore.” Someone thought for a moment and said.

Sun Lunan glanced at that man and nodded slightly. But first, they needed to figure out what that thing was. What if it was dangerous?

If it wasn’t dangerous, it wouldn’t scare away those zombies and rats. Besides, they had been following behind it for so long, and it didn’t seem to realize that yet.

“I’ll take two men there to see what it is. It might be a very powerful mutated beast,” Sun Lunan thought briefly and said.

It had been moving, so it was highly possible to be a mutated animal or plant. Some mobile plants were seen in these days after all.

“You three? Alone? That’s too dangerous! We’re in a forest!” The others disagreed.

“It’ll be alright. I don’t sense any danger now. If there’s anything dangerous, we’ll immediately come back,” said Sun Lunan firmly.

They were tens of miles away from the Upper City District. If they got that thing, the rest of their journey would be safe. Tens of miles wasn’t a long distance, but wasn’t short either. Dangers could pop up at any moment.

Over sixty percent of their people had died during the journey. The ones who died traded their own lives for the lives of the survivors.

He had to bring the rest of the troop to the base in Upper City District safely! So now, he must take the risk to see what that thing was. Perhaps, it was only threatening to mutated beasts and zombies, but not to humans. It was dangerous, but might also be an opportunity. After all, dangers and opportunities could exist together at times.

Also, Sun Lunan’s feelings had always been sharp and accurate. He wasn’t super strong, but was an escape master.

“Bring Qiqi then. She’ll be helpful,” said someone.

Sun Lunan thought for a moment. Qiqi was an ice power possessor. She hadn’t reached level-five yet, but was almost there. So, she was able to launch effective attacks.

They parked the car and prepared the weapons and tools.

“Qiqi, you go with Lunan,” Peng Ziyan shouted at another car. However, no one got off that car. Helplessly, Peng Ziyan turned to Sun Lunan.

Sun Lunan smiled, then shouted at that car, “Qiqi, come here.”

Next, a young girl got off the car, wearing an undertone wind coat, a white T-shirt, light-blue jeans, and a pair of black boots. Her pretty face wore no expression, and eyes were cold; she had long and smooth black hair that reached to her hips.

Mo Qiqi was only twenty-years-old. In the post-apocalyptic era, a girl like her could be in a very dangerous situation among a group of men. Thankfully, she was in the top-five within the troop in terms of strength, and every man who dared to offend her would be frozen.

She wasn’t tall, but was slim, and had long and slender legs.

“Lunan,” she walked up to Sun Lunan and called him. Seeing Sun Lunan, Mo Qiqi’s cold eyes finally wore a slightly warmer look. She wouldn’t listen to anyone else but him.

Sun Lunan nodded as he glanced at her, then said to the others, “We all know how dangerous the forest can be, so be careful.”

As those people prepared to enter the forest, Lin Qiao had restrained her vibe and slowly approached them. After she stopped moving, she found that those people stopped moving as well. Clearly, they were following her.

She wanted to know why those people followed her. She wasn’t heading toward the base. Weren’t those people going to the base?

Soon, she sensed a few human vibes moving toward her.

Those people did have some courage. They even stepped in the forest that was filled with mutated plants. Also, they were obviously coming for her. Weren’t they afraid that she might get angry?
