Chapter 10: Metal Upgrade
"Discover the metal you need for upgrading."
When we arrived at the mobile phone store, the detector soon made a sound that made the Rubik's Cube happy.
"Gaga~ Metal is better, it feels so friendly."
After completing the transformation, the manipulator punched a hole under the glass door that was large enough for him to enter and exit, and he ducked in.
He jumped onto the counter with a swish, stared at a mobile phone that seemed to have a high metal content, and smashed the glass with a fierce punch. The Rubik's Cube and the broken glass fell into the glass counter with a clatter. Two small robot hands grabbed it. Mobile phone casing.
"Ding! Metal absorption begins." A stream of liquid emerged from the Rubik's Cube and wrapped the phone.
"After the absorption is completed, we are still one thousandth away from transformation."
"Uh..." Rubik's Cube was speechless as he listened to the sound of the metal machinery used to transform the computer. A mobile phone was still far behind, one thousandth. How far behind... It just needed a simple upgrade and transformation, and it was not the construction of an interstellar system. Battleship...
"Forget it, at least we have a number, let's continue collecting metals." He threw away the plastic waste and continued looking for his mobile phone.
Stores such as electronic products are basically well-preserved. In the apocalypse, power generation equipment has basically stopped operating. Even if you have electronic equipment, it is adding weight to yourself. It is better to bring more food. The surroundings, such as pastry shops and food stores, are in a mess. It's just these electronic products that no one cares about.
"Tsk, tsk, it is said that this mobile phone was all the rage before the end of the world. I really don't understand it. It is just a communication device. The price has already exceeded its original purpose. The price is high, but it still cannot stop humans from buying it. And today this Without a mobile phone, it’s worse than a big cabbage.”
While rambling, he brute forcely peeled off the plastic casing. No matter what is fashionable or not, the Rubik's Cube just picks up the phone and takes it apart. Soon, all the mobile phones in this large mobile phone store were disassembled, including those in the warehouse.
"There are still 13% left before the transformation and upgrade. Please continue to absorb." The sound of metal machinery came again.
"Wait, when I have time, I will change this damn notification sound to a flattering one." After leaving the mobile phone store, the Rubik's Cube turned into a toy car and passed through the zombies, heading straight to the Computer City opposite. I smashed the automatic glass door, jumped on the display cabinet, picked up a tablet, and started to absorb it. Maybe it was because the specific gravity of the metal was different. When I absorbed the third tablet, I heard the sound of metal machinery.
"Start the transformation and upgrading." Rubik's Cube was speechless, wishing he had come here earlier.
Click, click, click... The metal parts on the Rubik's Cube's arm deformed rapidly. After a breath, the left forearm turned into a small machine gun. This was already quite big. After all, the Rubik's Cube was only thirty centimeters tall.
The data of the small machine gun equipped with the Rubik's Cube immediately appeared in the brain. It has burst and continuous fire functions, has primary automatic locking ability, has an effective range of forty meters, fires small bullets, and has a bullet reserve of 60 rounds. It can independently absorb energy to make bullets, and the speed is ten One shot per minute. When the metal can be absorbed, the speed of converting metal into bullets is determined by the energy of the carrier. It also has the ability to be upgraded. The right robot hand turned into a sharp blade, definitely sharper than a kitchen knife.
He curled his lips helplessly. The range of this machine gun is too short. It would be great if the starship was here. That range and power, tsk tsk~
It was better than nothing. At least he didn't have to jump up to deal with the zombies. The Rubik's Cube scampered to the door and prepared to test its firepower. Just when I arrived at the door and saw the zombies, the Rubik's Cube had an additional target in its sight, and the robotic arm's micro-machine gun automatically selected the best shooting target.
Silently issue attack commands.
Ta-ta-ta~ The recoil of the machine gun was not strong. The Rubik's Cube only felt a little shaking. All three zombies in sight fell to the ground. There was a small eye on the head. Although the bullet was not powerful, it directly hit the nerve center used to control the zombies' actions. .
"Quack, quack! It's so wonderful to have weapons." The Rubik's Cube let out an arrogant metal mechanical monster laugh.
"Well, it's time to get that stupid woman a knife." After saying that, it transformed into a toy off-road vehicle with a few clicks. The difference was that there was an additional machine gun on the roof. The motor rotates rapidly and rushes out with full power. I had downloaded a satellite map of the entire earth before, and every store in the city had a record of it. There happened to be a military store nearby. Rubik's Cube calculated from the simulated thinking of the people on earth that there must not only be telescopes but also backpacks and other things sold there. It was very big. Chances are the bayonets will be sold privately.
Squeak~ The Rubik's Cube came to a high-speed emergency stop, and the detection equipment began to scan the entire store.
"Detection completed, no life found."
After a few clicks, the transformation was completed, and he jumped in through the open window.
In the eyes of the Rubik's Cube, every item was marked with specific data. I stood on the counter and scanned it, and found that they were all fakes. Cursing fiercely, he found an iron door along the corridor and scanned the inside of the iron door. Sure enough, he found that there was something else going on. It was filled with display cabinets and all kinds of military supplies except guns. It seemed like the owner of this place. He is a military enthusiast and has collected individual equipment from major military powers. It is probably because of the strict control of the country, otherwise this guy might get a tank.
He raised his head and found that the iron door was locked, and it was a special lock for security doors.
"Oops! Mechanical lock! But, it's not a big deal."
This simple mechanical lock can't defeat the Rubik's Cube. The two robot hands turn into spikes, pierce the iron sheet and climb up. After climbing to the lock head, use one robot hand to fix it, and the other robot hand stabs the lock hard. Turn your head slightly. Click, the door opens.
"I'm not stealing. According to the rules of survival, I'm digging and organizing."
I have to pick a set of new stab-proof camouflage uniforms of the right size to take back. After all, I can't let that stupid woman run around in a world full of zombies in a short skirt.
I also need a pair of women's military boots. The usual casual fashion shoes should be thrown away.
Tactical vests, well, they are easy to use and have protective functions, so I'll get one.
New stab-proof gloves, two pairs.
New helmets, one.
After collecting the main ones, I also found some wrist guards, knee pads and other individual protective equipment. After thinking about it, I found a tactical flashlight. I will use it tonight. Anyway, I can charge it myself. I took out a backpack and put everything in it. I saw that there was still some space left, and put in some necessities for outdoor life, and then I started to deal with knives.
I was very dissatisfied with these bayonet cubes because they were too short. They were suitable for close combat, but it was a bit uneconomical to fight zombies. I found three bayonets of better quality, and the manipulator became a cutting machine to cut off the handles of two bayonets.
Rubik's Cube began to weld the bayonets. The technology used was the same as repairing starships. It was not ordinary high-temperature melting welding, but rearranging the metal, similar to deformation. After a few minutes, the three bayonets became a dagger, and the hardness was greatly improved, which was stronger and sharper. Rubik's Cube consumed a lot of energy.
I was afraid that Zhang Xiaowen would be anxious waiting after being out for so long, so I made a scabbard and put the dagger away and hung it outside the backpack. I raised the backpack and walked out, and threw it directly out of the window, and then Rubik's Cube jumped out.
"Get out! You rotten meat!" The sound of the backpack thrown out was very obvious in this quiet afternoon, attracting more than a dozen zombies, but none of them went crazy, and they just watched Rubik's Cube move things.
