Chapter 120: Fully Armed

It was a little after two o'clock in the afternoon.

The big truck and three trucks were dragging anti-aircraft guns on the country road at a not-so-fast speed. Fortunately, the country roads in the northeast were wide enough to drive on. When encountering a sharp turn, they had to get off the car and slowly adjust to turn around. There were two squad machine guns on the roof of the big truck, and one on each of the trucks behind. They killed some scattered zombies while rushing on the road.

"Stop! Set up a temporary position and pay attention to the zombies."

The convoy stopped on a remote road close to the valley and untied the anti-aircraft gun connected to the back of the third truck. This car was full of cotton clothes, quilts, tents, salt, sugar, cooking oil and other materials, which needed to be transported to the valley.

Fortunately, the military truck has strong off-road performance. It was loaded with a full truck of supplies and drove through the crop fields and a small river. Even the sloping wasteland was unimpeded.

The Rubik's Cube turned into a remote-controlled helicopter and was firmly fixed on the roof. In addition to Zhang Xiaowen, there were two fully armed female team members in the cab. The young officer who had received the notification from the wireless phone had been waiting on the stone wall of the valley with all the men who could carry the goods. They kept tiptoeing and looking into the distance, as if they were waiting for their long-lost relatives. When they saw the military truck coming, they immediately went down the stone wall to greet them.

It was already autumn, and the survivors who had escaped had already been frozen by the chilly autumn wind at night. They were so happy to see this truck of quilts, cotton clothes and tents that they didn't know where to go. In any case, with these things, they could survive the winter. Although the conditions were harsh, there was no other way.

Some survivors asked why they didn't leave here by car. Zhang Xiaowen briefly described the conditions on the road and the occasional appearance of man-eating zombies to dispel their thoughts. It was no problem for an armed convoy to pass, but it would definitely be a life-and-death struggle to pull hundreds of people with the smell of flesh and blood. If things went wrong, the guard team would be lost.

After unloading the supplies and saying goodbye to everyone in the valley, they returned to the rural road, hung up the anti-aircraft guns and continued their journey home...

…………

After returning to the camp, the Magic Cube immediately started the full-scale armed camp project.

Each Guard-1 robot dismantled its assault rifle and replaced it with a squad machine gun. In addition to missiles, two more gun barrels were added. Missiles were used to deal with large targets in the air and at a distance. Two anti-aircraft guns were responsible for dealing with all large targets within the sight line. Machine guns were used to clear those ordinary small targets. The combination of near, medium, far, high and low defenses was more perfect. The Guard-1 was thus upgraded to a large defense platform responsible for the safety of the camp.

The anti-aircraft guns installed on the Guard-1 robots were all those brought back from the disassembly. The intact ones were not disassembled but arranged in a circle around the residential area. They were usually covered with rainproof cloth. If there was a situation where the Guard-1 robots could not defend, they could join the battle to reduce the pressure on the robots.

At present, the factory is fully engaged in the production of missiles, and the expansion of the factory is imminent. After all, only with a fully automated factory can bullets and shells be produced continuously. After all, the collected storage will be used up sooner or later.

After hard work, all the Guard-1 robots were modified...

…………

A few days later at night, the Rubik's Cube, who was exhausted from work, woke up from hibernation.

The hall was quiet. The four evil cats had gone out to hunt. Jia Jia was sleeping in the room on the second floor with a stuffed rabbit toy. On the balcony, Zhang Xiaowen leaned on the railing with her arms to look at the moon. The silver moonlight shone on Zhang Xiaowen, creating a soft and dreamy picture.

He lifted his mechanical legs and climbed up the stairs to the second floor, opened the glass door and walked onto the balcony.

"Wenzi, what are you doing? I thought I was the only one who would stare at the space in a daze. Are you also from outer space?" Grabbing the railing, Mofang climbed up the railing with great effort and sat down.

"I miss home..."

"I miss home... this... let's go to your house as soon as possible..." Mofang didn't know what to say for a moment, and he barely found a few words in the computer. The apocalypse has been going on for so long and the living conditions are getting worse and worse. I heard Zhang Xiaowen say that her home is in H Province, which is separated from J Province to the north. I rarely heard Zhang Xiaowen mention her family. I am afraid that she has imagined the scene of returning to her home countless times in her heart. Now the traffic is paralyzed and congested and zombies are everywhere. It is very difficult to cross a province to find relatives, unless there is a plane.

"I don't know how my parents are doing. They came to Jiangcheng to see me this spring. We rarely talk on the phone. Now I think about it and realize that I am really unfilial..."

"These days... Who will pay attention to their family and parents before the end of the world? All they think about every day is work and enjoyment. Many years later, they regret that they didn't spend more time with their parents. However, as long as you think it through, the moment of regret means that you have understood what filial piety is. Parents will smile and love their children more."

"I feel much better after hearing what you said. By the way, how do you understand all kinds of emotions between humans?"

"It's very simple. I'm just a mechanical life form, or just complex energy. I can observe and analyze humans from a completely non-human perspective, but you can never observe yourself from another perspective."

"Then... do you have parents?"

"…………"

The Rubik's Cube quieted down, the mechanical parts extending outside drooped down, and the mechanical eyes dimmed...

"Sorry, I didn't mean it..."

"It's okay. I just feel a little emotional and think of those days in Dragon Star."

"Can you tell me? I want to know how you came to the world and what you saw at first sight. I just want to know." Zhang Xiaowen gathered her long hair and stared at the Rubik's Cube curiously.

"Yes, I remember that I suddenly felt my existence at that time, just suddenly. I remember that the first time I looked outside, I saw the starry sky. Later, I learned that it was an image device set above the starship. Later... "In the room on the second floor, Jia Jia was sleeping soundly in bed. On the balcony outside the window, Zhang Xiaowen was propping up her chin and listening to the Rubik's Cube sitting on the fence telling those fantastic experiences. The silver moonlight was sprinkled, and the light blue was like a fairy tale world...

The next day.

Longshan Camp once again organized an operation to collect factory equipment. This time, three large trucks were driven, and the modified large truck led the way.

The collection went smoothly. Perhaps the Rubik's Cube's two clearing of evolved zombies and lickers caused these ferocious zombies near the suburban factory area to be almost extinct, which greatly accelerated the loading speed. It was not enough to pull it back once, so it was moved again. The Rubik's Cube felt that the current construction work was almost done and it was time to look for metal absorption upgrades.

At around 2pm, Mofang said goodbye to Zhang Xiaowen and flew alone to the southern part of the city. There was an industrial park there with more factories where more rare metals could be collected.

When passing through the city, he flew to the roof of a building and took a look around. He did not find the sniper girl and her gang. The various daily necessities on the rooftop were gone. It seemed that they had moved to another place to live and survive. After circling a circle, he turned the nose of the plane and headed straight for the southern industrial park...
