Chapter 17: A Sneak Attack
"Either live or perish." The Cube turned around and left. If the main interstellar battleship was here, all problems would not be a problem, but now there is only such a tiny clone, and there is really nothing it can do.
Taking out the satellite map downloaded before, the Cube carefully looked for large vehicles nearby. Given the current traffic conditions, no big dumb don't touch me or any sweat horse can move at all. The only way is to find a large engineering vehicle nearby for modification and use the powerful horsepower to open the road. In the end times, the least practical thing is a sports car. Not to mention the accident vehicles everywhere in the city, even if you enter the provincial or national highways, even if there are few cars, it will not work. Why? Because the roads that are not maintained by anyone are full of debris, whether it is rolling rocks or strong winds, just a stone can turn a sports car into an airplane.
The Cube's sight screen is a latest satellite map of the city, with images of all construction sites and cargo stations. Finally, a large cargo station that is relatively close was selected. It is said that it is the largest logistics center in the city, but now it has become a zombie flow center.
Transformed into a toy car, it quickly avoided the zombies and drove to the freight station. On the hot and quiet streets in the afternoon, the rising heat blurred the distant vision. The breeze blew, and white plastic bags flew all over the sky. A stray cat quickly passed through the restless zombies and climbed up the tree. Its eyes looked at the gray-skinned zombies one by one in horror. This was a cat that fled to the outside of the city.
While rushing on the road, it quickly turned on the solar collector to absorb energy. Looking at the cat, it found that it could easily run into the park from the tree, and the magic cube continued to move forward.
In this doomsday, if you can save a life, try to save it, even if it is a cat or a dog.
Twenty minutes later, it crossed a railway track and entered the freight station. It turned on the detection equipment to scan the entire freight station. The magic cube was not optimistic about the survivors, because the freight station was built in a spacious and low style for convenience. Not to mention hiding from people, I am afraid that the zombies would be killed as soon as they broke out. As expected, there was not even a single living person.
"This car is good, with plenty of horsepower and a container. Eh? The container is full of canned fish? Lucky, it's nutritious and can also replenish salt. This is the car."
Then, the Cube scanned and monitored the large container truck and found that it was still a 90% new truck. The equipment parts were relatively intact, but the oil was a little low. This was not a big deal. At most, the oil from other vehicles could be pumped over.
He found a hose and an oil barrel, punched away the fuel tank cap of the unnecessary vehicle, inserted the oil pipe into it, and guided the oil into the oil barrel. When it was full, he added it to the large truck. He did this several times in a row and finally filled the large tank of the large truck. The oil was enough to transport the survivors that could be found out of the city, and it was relatively safe to hide in the container. As for taking the bus, it was purely seeking death. If the glass was broken, just wait to be eaten.
"Is there something missing?" The Cube's mechanical hand touched its chin and thought.
"That's right! The collision device and the cab protection device. OK, it's time to work again."
Throwing away the oil pipes and oil barrels, the Cube began to rummage through the cargo in the freight station. Fortunately, he found a pile of steel plates. He went to the repair shop and pulled out a set of welding equipment. His small body was pulling a lot of cargo. The Cube continued to sigh...
Ziz...Ziz...Ziz...
Sparks kept flashing, and it was very obvious even in the afternoon. There were many survivors in the surrounding residential buildings looking at the freight station, but unfortunately they were blocked by the buildings and could not see the specific situation in the freight station.
The sun gradually set in the west, and the listless zombies under the sun became active. A few of them ran over and surrounded the Cube, staring at the sparks in a daze. In anger, the Cube gave a few zombies a taste of welding and easily broke the rotten meat into several pieces. It was just that the smell of burnt rotten meat was too disgusting.
A front V-shaped steel plate was welded on the front of the truck, so that when colliding with vehicles and zombies, the steel plate could separate obstacles to both sides instead of rolling under the wheels.
The cab and the top are all reinforced with steel plates to ensure the driver's safety. It's just too far from the military base. Otherwise, why bother getting a few eight-wheeled armored vehicles? Thick armor, super strong tires and engines can crush all zombies. Of course, you can't count on them now.
Looking at the modified vehicle, Rubik's Cube was very satisfied. He got into the cab, pulled out the key and installed a special lock.
"Uh... Why do I feel that Xiaowen can't drive such a big car? Even if she can... it's scary. Forget it, find another driver." He closed the door and jumped out of the car. It turned into a toy car and drove to Xiaowen's house. The sun set. It's time to go back and see if the stupid woman is still alive. She should still be sleeping at this time, right?
There are too many vehicles on the road, so Rubik's Cube simply drives on the sidewalk. Night gradually falls. The city that usually flashes neon lights is now dark, except for a few solar street lights that are still barely maintaining lighting.
…………
Finally, Rubik's Cube returned to the downstairs of Xiaowen's house. Suddenly, there was a noise in the communicator!
"The Rubik's Cube... has... ah...!" The voice stopped abruptly.
"Oops!" The Rubik's Cube quickly transformed into a robot and rushed into the corridor, ignoring the energy consumption and running upstairs at an accelerated speed. No wonder when I just got downstairs, I found that the door downstairs was not closed, and I thought it was Xiaowen who ran out for a walk!
Kakaka ran to the downstairs of Xiaowen's residence. After scanning, he found a total of five people, all of whom were middle-aged men, holding machetes or iron pipes in their hands. There were two at the door, and the other three were pulling Xiaowen, who was curled up in the corner of the room, while they were laughing and swearing from time to time.
Whoosh! The Rubik's Cube jumped up and took advantage of the darkness in the corridor to run straight to the two men standing guard at the door.
Kakaka...
In mid-air, the two mechanical arms quickly transformed into weapon forms, loaded the gun, and fired. A bullet instantly penetrated the nerve center of one of the men, and the bayonet in the right hand deeply pierced the brain of the other man.
He jumped up again and rushed into the room, raised the machine gun and fired more than 20 bullets at the three people who had just turned their heads to look over.
Dadada...!
The three people were shot and killed with blood all over their bodies. Before they died, they stared at the Rubik's Cube in disbelief, as if they didn't believe that there was such a robot in the world. After avoiding the three fallen bodies, the two wheels on the Rubik's Cube's feet turned and came to Zhang Xiaowen, and its arms returned to the shape of mechanical arms.
"Magic Cube..."
"Okay, it's okay. Don't open the door when you see others next time. Also, remember that your physical strength is far superior to others. You can definitely defeat these five people. There is blood everywhere here. You should move to another room."
"Well..."
Zhang Xiaowen stood up silently, packed up her clothes and other items, and followed Magic Cube into a clean room. What happened before can only be said that Zhang Xiaowen was too naive. In short, after this incident, her mentality will be much more mature. This is the end of the world.
