Having issues with changes in speed of the objects

Unity Engine
1

I am on my first steps of learning how to code and also learning about the unity engine. So I am sure that I am doing something wrong here and probably it is in my code . These past three days I am surfing though the internet trying to figure out what I am doing wrong but I still haven’t found out what it is.

I am using a number of cylinders with the following script attached to it

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class MoveCapsule : MonoBehaviour
{

    public float moveSpeed = 4f;
    public bool canBite = false;
    public GameObject zombieClone;
    public bool canBiteBite = false;
    //public Transform sPT;

    void Start ()
    {
        InvokeRepeating("Wandering", 1, 3f);
    }
   
    void Update ()
    {
        GameObject[] ZombieClones = (GameObject[])
        GameObject.FindObjectsOfType(typeof(GameObject));
        foreach (GameObject go in ZombieClones)
        {
            ZombieCloneS zC= go.GetComponent<ZombieCloneS>();
           
            if(zC == null || zC == this)
            {
                continue;
            }
        }

        if ((canBite && Input.GetKeyDown (KeyCode.E)) || canBiteBite)
        {
            GameObject zombieCloneC = (GameObject) Instantiate(zombieClone, transform.position, transform.rotation);
            Destroy(gameObject);
        }

        if(!transform.Find("ZombieDetect").GetComponent<ZombieDetect>().zombieDetected)
        {
            transform.Translate (Vector3.forward * moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
        }
        else //if (transform.Find("ZombieDetect").GetComponent<ZombieDetect>().zombieDetected)
        {
            CancelInvoke("Wandering");
            RunToSafety ();
        }
    }

    public void Wandering()
    {
        transform.Rotate(0,180,0);
    }

    void OnCollisionEnter(Collision other)
    {
        if (other.gameObject.tag == "Player")
        {
            canBite = true;
            //Debug.Log("Player Entered");
        }
        else if (other.gameObject.tag == "Zombie")
        {
            canBiteBite = true;
        }
    }

    void OnCollisionExit(Collision other)
    {
        canBite = false;
        canBiteBite = false;
    }

    void RunToSafety()
    {
        GameObject[] safetyPoints = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag ("Safety");
        foreach (GameObject sp in safetyPoints)
        {
            transform.position = Vector3.MoveTowards (transform.position, sp.transform.position, moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
        }
    }
}

The problem I am having is that when RunToSafety function is executed and the object MoveTowards the target(sp.tranfrom.position) with the same moveSpeed, it actually moves faster than when transform.Translate (Vector3.forward * moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime) is executing.
Apparently I am missing something technical here but I can’t seem to be able to find out what.

If you look at the documentation for MoveTowards, you will see that the last paramenter is not a speed, but instead the maximum distance that it will move per call to this method (which translates to per frame because you’re calling it in update).

I guess overthinking things at some point you are getting lost the more you are trying to search and you are missing the obvious things. Thanks for pointing that to me. I can’t believe I missed it.
