Chapter 11: Strengthening the Body

The backpack was so big that it was really hard to carry. In desperation, the Cube had to run into a grocery store and find a two-wheeled cart for pulling luggage. The backpack was placed on it and fixed, and the front handle was fixed to the deformed roof.

"Why is it like a trailer?" He sighed and started drag racing in the post-apocalyptic city with the two-wheeled cart. In the nearby high-rise buildings, some people in some rooms with thick curtains looked down and saw a remote control toy car pulling a backpack running wildly on the road. Maybe because he was too scared, he didn't look out until he heard the sound, otherwise he could see the Cube deformed...

"Get out of the way! You idiot! Don't go this way!"

The zombies wandering all over the street made the Cube very annoyed. But he couldn't shoot. Once he shot, he was not afraid of attracting zombies, but he was afraid that the zombies would fall down and block the road. Alas... If I had known earlier, it would be great to get a large robot to kill a lot of people with one foot.

After stumbling and turning all the way, I finally returned to Zhang Xiaowen's downstairs. I pulled the backpack to the stairs along the disabled passage. After it was transformed, I held the backpack and started climbing the stairs.

…………

In the living room, the Rubik's Cube sat on the table, and Zhang Xiaowen squatted on the ground to flip through the backpack.

"Oh~ This dress is so ugly."

"Stupid woman! Do you want to run around among the zombies in a short skirt and show those restless men how white your legs are!" The Rubik's Cube spoke very directly.

"Okay..." Zhang Xiaowen looked at the Rubik's Cube with some grievance, and the Rubik's Cube decisively ignored it.

"This shoe..."

"Will you wear it or not!"

"I'll wear it, I'll wear it..."

Zhang Xiaowen quickly took it up and put it on her feet, and found that the shoes fit her feet very well.

"Wow! What a cool knife!"

"Stupid, that should be called a dagger."

"Ha! Hey! Roar! Look at the sword!" Zhang Xiaowen whined and danced a set of sword techniques.

Dang! Crack...

The Rubik's Cube, which was chopped off the table, covered his forehead and realized that he had overestimated the IQ of this stupid woman. Zhang Xiaowen looked at the Rubik's Cube with an embarrassed face...

"Give you a short sword. If you go out in your current condition, you will die. I have thought of a way to enhance your strength."

"What method?"

"Upgrade your DNA and change your physique so that you can adapt to this apocalypse without causing any extra effects on your body."

"Wow!"

"Are you scared?"

"Too cool! I must be the protagonist in the apocalypse, and you must be a cheat given to me by God. Kill monsters and upgrade, hahaha~~"

"………………" The magic defense was speechless. This girl must have read too many apocalypse novels. She is the protagonist. If she hadn't traveled through time and space to come here, this child would have been eaten long ago.

"I don't want the first person I met on Earth to be eaten by those rotten meats. Hurry up and lie down on the bed."

Zhang Xiaowen blushed.

"That...can you not be so ambiguous..."

"Stupid woman!" The Rubik's Cube was furious and almost went crazy.

Zhang Xiaowen quickly ran to the bed and lay down. The Rubik's Cube's mechanical head hit the door frame several times, trying to calm herself down...

"Implement brain wave interference to make the transformed enter a deep sleep."

"Start genetic scanning of the transformed."

"Scan completed, start analyzing the data."

"…………"

"…………"

This kind of physical upgrade and transformation of Longxing has been carried out for many years, but due to controversy, it has not been studied in depth. After further research and improvement of the data, the Rubik's Cube concluded that this upgrade will bring huge changes. As long as the physical gene transformation is carried out with the technology corrected by the Rubik's Cube, the physical fitness of the transformed will continue to improve slowly in the future, with greater strength, faster speed, and more agile thinking. The Rubik's Cube did not conduct experiments after studying this transformation, but now it can't wait for the end of the experiment, so it can only take some risks.

Beams of light shot out from the energy source in the cube's chest and shone on Zhang Xiaowen. This kind of transformation is a piece of cake for an interstellar battleship, and it takes no effort. But now this small body is too weak, so it can only be done bit by bit. If it is not controlled well, it may really crash...

As night falls, zombies roar from time to time outside, occasionally mixed with human screams, and the dark city is no longer brightly lit.

In the early morning, the sun shines on Zhang Xiaowen's face, her eyelashes move slightly, and she slowly opens her eyes. Zhang Xiaowen doesn't know if it's an illusion, why is this world so clear, the small cracks on the ceiling are clearly visible, and all kinds of smells come from her nose, which can be divided into many kinds. Her ears move slightly, and the roars of zombies are transmitted to her ears, as if they are right next to her ears, but she can clearly feel that the roaring zombies are downstairs.

"Cube! Cube! Where are you!"

"Stop shouting, I'm on the windowsill."

"Is this what it feels like after upgrading? Great! Yeah! Ouch~" Zhang Xiaowen used her waist to sit up from the bed as usual, but she fell off the bed because of the speed, and her head hit the wall hard.

"It hurts~!"

"Be gentle first, you just upgraded and changed your physique, you need some time to adapt."

"Okay, eh? Cube, what's wrong with you?" Zhang Xiaowen stared blankly at the Cube lying motionless on the windowsill. The light in the Cube's eyes was very dim, as if it could go out at any time.

"In order to transform your body, the energy consumption is too great, and it automatically enters the energy absorption state. The windowsill can absorb more solar energy, that's it."

"Cube, you must get better..."

"Hurry up and adapt to your physique! Don't be an eyesore here, you're being so sentimental." After sending Zhang Xiaowen to the living room to get familiar with her current body, the Rubik's Cube entered the fastest recovery standby state.

In a quiet and desolate city, on the top floor of an ordinary residential building, Zhang Xiaowen is no longer satisfied with exercising in the room. Since the transformation was completed, she has been excited to get used to the new self, with greater strength, faster speed, faster reaction, and stronger body. Through the computer transformed by the Rubik's Cube, she was tested. The physical strength is equivalent to the combined level of two adult men, while the body shape has not changed at all. This makes Zhang Xiaowen most satisfied. Fortunately, she did not become a muscular woman, otherwise she might as well die.

"Ding~ Energy recovery is complete."

The Rubik's Cube, which was originally lying on the windowsill, turned over and stood up, and the trendy music sounded. It jumped and turned over and danced street dance.

"Haha~ Rubik's Cube! Look how powerful I am!"

The Rubik's Cube, which had just woken up, turned its head and looked at Zhang Xiaowen. Zhang Xiaowen saw that her right hand was waving a dagger quickly, leaving scratches on the wardrobe one after another.

"Stupid woman, go and clean up all the zombies in the other rooms of this building."

"Why do you need to clean them up? I can run very fast now, so I can escape."

"Your courage and adaptability are too poor. Once you clean up all the zombies, you can basically meet the minimum requirements for survival."

"Well... okay... can you follow me?"

"Sure."

"Yeah~ Let's go, now."

Although she didn't want to face the zombies, Zhang Xiaowen knew that the magic cube was doing it for her own good, so she had to bite the bullet and put on protective gear, pick up the dagger and go out.

The door opposite had been cleaned up, leaving only rotten meat that had already rotted. The smell made Zhang Hanlin's stomach turn sour. She looked back at the magic cube following behind her, closed her eyes and gritted her teeth, and walked downstairs.

"There's no one in that house, and the door of this house is locked. Let's..." Just when she was about to say that we should go down, she found that the magic cube easily opened the security door, and then she remembered that the magic cube was an authority on mechanics. Before she could think too much, a middle-aged male zombie roared and rushed over. Zhang Xiaowen looked at the zombie strangely. Why was he so slow? Suddenly she remembered that it was her reaction that became faster, not the zombie. She stabbed the dagger forward and retracted it. The zombie paused and rushed over again.

Da~ A gunshot rang out, and a blood hole appeared under the zombie's neck. The bullet flew out from the back of the head and just passed through the nerve center. The zombie fell to the floor with a bang.

"Stupid woman! Remember to stab the head with one move, and don't be dazed! Are you looking for death!"

"I..."

"What are you talking about! Hurry up and go in. There is another one in the bedroom."
