Zombie Sister Strategy

After pouring the water into Black’s mouth, Lin Qiao waved at the others and signaled for them to relax their grip on the snake. Then, she handed the bucket to Keng-keng and said, “Alright, go and do what you have to do.”

The group of zombies instantly let go of the snake and walked out of the woods.

Meanwhile, Black quieted down once it drank the water. It put its head on the ground and closed its eyes. Seeing that, Lin Qiao stopped worrying about the snake and turned to exit her space.

After exiting, she returned straight to the hilltop, but Bowwow was no longer by the small pit. Lin Qiao glanced around and found the dog about two miles away from the hill. She immediately flashed to that area.

In that place, Lin Qiao found that Bowwow was digging the ground again.

She easily figured out that something was going on underground. Dogs had keener sensations than humans. As a zombie dog, Bowwow’s sensations were no weaker than Lin Qiao’s.

Bowwow spent quite a while digging but failed to achieve any result. Lin Qiao blinked, then said to the dog, “Alright, stop digging. Come here, I’ll send you back into the space.”

“Wow?” Bowwow stopped immediately and raised its head to look at Lin Qiao with confusion. Its mouth and forepaws were stained by soil.

Lin Qiao waved at Bowwow and signaled it to come over, then threw it into the space. After that, she hid her vibe and quietly moved into the woods nearby.

She hopped onto a tall tree and silently sensed the changes of the surrounding vibes.

Lin Qiao was patient, but she never thought that the mushroom could be even more patient than her. After staying there for two hours, she finally noticed a small movement of the ground. The ground bulged higher and higher, and then a mushroom cap popped out.

Puff! The big mushroom seemed to feel no danger from the surrounding environment as it quickly jumped out of the ground. It supported its body with a few roots and turned around, then slowly walked toward where it came from.

This time, it was walking and hopping at times instead of running like a gust of wind.

Lin Qiao silently slid off the tree, then followed behind the mushroom and slowly approached it.

The mushroom was still wagging forward without sensing the invisible being that was coming closer to it.

Lin Qiao tried very hard to restrain her vibe as well as block her nose and mouth before the distance between her and the mushroom was shortened to a hundred meters.

Earlier on, the mushroom sensed her every time she was less than a hundred meters away from it. So this time, Lin Qiao was very, very careful.

But still, she thought for a moment and stopped approaching the mushroom. It was able to drill into the ground. It would run away again unless she disabled it from hiding into the ground.

With that idea, she flashed back into her space and brought out a few earth-powered zombies, then ordered them to scatter and surround the mushroom.

As she gave a whistle, those earth-powered zombies immediately sealed the earth.

The mushroom gave a start when the whistle was heard. Like a reflex, it tried to drill into the ground, but ended up realizing that the ground was as hard as a stone, and that it wasn’t able to break it at all.

Clap! Its roots twisted to try and drill into the soil, yet the soil was too hard to be broken. As a result, the mushroom lost its balance and fell to the ground.

It quickly got back up and ran. Without being able to hide underground, it had no choice but to run. Within a blink, it disappeared from where it was.

Thud! However, it flew back in the next second. It was kicked back by someone.

“Run! Keep running!” Lin Qiao blocked its way and kicked the mushroom back to where it was, then walked out of the woods and looked at it with a vicious grin on her face.

The mushroom stood straight without daring to move. Its cap was shrunk tightly, yet its roots were still twisting slightly, trying to drill into the ground. However, the ground just wouldn’t break.

It didn’t understand why the ground was so hard. But still, the smart mushroom didn’t give up on trying as it constantly twisted its roots to try and break the ground.

Lin Qiao released her vibe entirely to suppress the mushroom. The mushroom stood there quietly, seeming to be frightened. However, the small movements of its roots showed that it was not really scared, and was only pretending!

“Yeah! Keep pretending! Tell me, would you like to be stir-fried with pork or made into soup? You see, you’re so smart, so I bet you taste good as well,” Lin Qiao smilingly walked to the mushroom and made a circle around it.

Lin Qiao didn’t know if the mushroom could understand her or not, because it made no reaction to her words. However, judging by what it had done before, it was rather smart.

Looking at the seemingly obedient mushroom, Lin Qiao blinked, then abruptly came closer and slapped its stem.

Clap!

Being slapped, the mushroom shivered and quickly moved a meter away. Under Lin Qiao’s vibe, it realized that it had no chance to run. That was why it didn’t try to flee just now.

“How dare you run again! Freeze!” Lin Qiao narrowed her eyes and glared at the mushroom while walking up to it and giving it another slap.

Clap!

The mushroom again moved away. It didn’t create a large space between itself and Lin Qiao, but still moved to about a meter away from her.

Lin Qiao glanced at her palm. She was sure that her feeling wasn’t wrong this time. Then, she raised her head to observe the mushroom’s stem that looked like a utility pole. It had a plastic-like texture, and was even a little elastic.

“Don’t you try to run again!” Lin Qiao rushed up to the mushroom and again slapped on its stem.

Once again, the mushroom moved to a meter away. This time, Lin Qiao saw its movement clearly. It had actually reached out a root once she approached. As she slapped it, it quickly made that meter-long step.

“Stop! You were able to drill into the ground and run away at the beginning, yet you made us chase you all over the forest! You fooled us! Was it fun? Huh? Damn you, bloody mushroom! You need someone to kick you’re a*s! I’ll really kick your mushroom a*s!” Lin Qiao cursed angrily while slapping the mushroom’s stem. Like how an adult would punish a naughty kid, she was so angry, but wasn’t willing to really hurt it.

She was planning to kill the mushroom before, but after being fooled by it, she had changed her mind.

The mushroom had actually made her run. For that reason, she decided to keep it and make it run every single day and show that to the others.

With that thought, she threw out the vine that Viney left in the space and tied the mushroom up with it.
