Chapter 172: Simulated Transformation
The territory of Shancheng County is full of mountainous areas. The highway constantly passes through mountain tunnels. The Rubik's Cube is not driving smoothly.
The speeding Rubik's Cube jumped up again and quickly transformed into a robot and then landed. After rolling a few times on the snow to relieve the force, he stood up and looked at the long highway bridge between the two mountains in front of him. He didn't know what to say. The bridge in the valley was blocked by a wall made of many abandoned vehicles. Behind the big wall was a small camp. The highway bridge was used to avoid zombies. The curling smoke rose slowly and the barking of dogs could be heard. This small camp connected the two bridges on the left and right with wood and steel plates. There was a gap in the middle of the bridge. Below was a warm spring that did not freeze. A woman was using a rope to lower a bucket to fetch water.
The Rubik's Cube was not worried about not being able to get through, but was worried about whether it would scare these poor survivors and cause an accident. What if someone who was overly stimulated fell off the bridge? The height of this bridge is not ordinary.
After thinking for a while, the Rubik's Cube decided to fly over with the thruster. Anyway, the distance was not very long, and flying for nothing was good for physical and mental health.
Click! The two wheels on the back stretched out, and the blades inside the wheels began to rotate, turning faster and faster. The Rubik's Cube controlled the propellers to fly straight up. The buzzing sound of the engine woke up the survivors on the bridge as expected. As expected, the Rubik's Cube, which should not appear in this world, caused many survivors to scream. Fortunately, they have been living on the highway and have no guns to attack, which saves the Rubik's Cube a lot of trouble.
Buzz buzz buzz...
The propellers sprayed a fierce airflow downward, and the Rubik's Cube flew straight to the other end of the bridge. This was enough. At least it did not walk through the crowd. Otherwise, it would not be as simple as screaming a few times. If it was not handled properly, it would be broken into eight pieces like the bucket thrown by the woman.
"What is that..."
"Alien robot! He is not coming to harvest us earthlings, is he?"
"Terminator or Transformer... What happened..."
"God, I really can't stand all these stimulations..."
Amid screams and shouts, the Rubik's Cube flew over in the sight of everyone, flew to the other side of the wall and quickly landed, scratching a series of sparks on the road, and then turned into a motorcycle with a few clicks and continued to accelerate, leaving behind a group of stunned survivors who could not keep calm.
…………
Two hours later.
The Rubik's Cube finally arrived at the county seat of Shancheng County, which usually only takes one hour to reach. Shancheng County, surrounded by many mountains, is as quiet as Jiangcheng. The zombies did not feel the temptation of food and flesh, and stood quietly in the streets and alleys, as if they were a group of motionless mannequins. The cold temperature froze the rotten body tissues of the zombies stiff, but the Rubik's Cube knew that this was just an illusion. Once they smelled the smell of flesh and blood, I am afraid that these zombies would immediately turn on and launch a crazy attack. The cold winter did not freeze the viruses to death.
The Cube rushed to the highway exit and looked at the highway staff in the toll booth. After thinking for a while, he casually took out a hundred yuan from the pocket of a big-bellied old man zombie wearing a valuable suit next to him, handed it to the toll booth politely, and left the highway according to the procedures stipulated by the laws of the earth.
"Where will the survivors go? Let's go to the grain and oil distribution center first." After choosing the target, the Cube turned on the navigation system and drove towards the long-distance bus station. Most of the grain and oil in Shancheng County are concentrated in this area. According to the law of survival, this should be the place where survivors visit the most. Maybe you can find a few living survivors and then follow them to find their camp.
After a while, the Cube drove to a grain and oil wholesale center and found that there were not many zombies here. There were also several shops nearby that were emptied. It was initially estimated that survivors had been here many times.
If you want to get in touch with the survivor camp here, you must first know the camp system and the camp atmosphere here, and whether there are people who are seeking death like the destroyed Xin'an Town camp. It is best to observe these in the camp, but the Rubik's Cube is not suitable to go in so brazenly, and turning into a motorcycle is not an option. However, the solution is thought out, and the computer can find a good solution.
"Got it, you can turn into a human to sneak in, but it will cost a lot of energy."
At this point, we have to talk about the excellent ability of deformable metal. It can not only transform, but also simulate the appearance of many creatures, and even simulate soft skin and slender hair. The only drawback is that it consumes a lot of energy, even about one-third, with low defense and low attack power, and extremely slow energy recovery speed. It can be said that if it is not necessary, it is really unnecessary to consume a lot of energy to become a human, otherwise once you encounter danger, you will not be able to fight if you lack energy, which is quite disadvantageous.
"Deformation simulation program started."
In an instant, the Rubik's Cube felt the energy bar drop at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the metal all over the body became like flowing water, gradually converging and shrinking, the mechanical fingers gradually changed into the appearance of human fingers, and many metal filaments stretched out of the head to simulate hair...
The deformation lasted for three minutes. Finally, the metal flow in various parts stopped, and the deformation was about to be completed.
The Rubik's Cube, which had transformed into a human form, looked at itself. In an instant, the original metallic color changed to normal human color, and even the color of its clothes and pants completely changed. The Rubik's Cube transformed into a man, 1.81 meters tall, with short hair, a tough face and a slightly rough look, wearing a winter sports suit. He looked to be about 30 years old and had a very ordinary appearance. He did not become a pink and tender boy who was neither male nor female.
"This shape... is really weak." The Cube felt uncomfortable with the current form. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that mechanical life forms were cooler.
"Well, it's time to carry a backpack, and a simple weapon. This is good."
He bent down to pick up a steel bar, walked to a store to find a backpack, stuffed some food in it in front of the zombie boss lady, put it on his back, and walked out of the store with the steel bar swaying. He climbed to the second floor and looked out the window to search for survivors. He didn't forget to sprinkle some dust on his hair, so he looked more like a down-and-out lone survivor.
Maybe it was too cold in winter, and the survivors liked to sit by the fire to keep warm. When it got dark, the Cube didn't wait for even a single survivor.
The bored Cube thought that there would be no search team out to search for supplies at night anyway, so he might as well take a stroll in the county town. Maybe he could see a few weird evolved zombies or something, and try to see if he could crush the neck of the evolved zombie with his much lower combat power.
Although the county town is small, it has everything. Pedestrian streets and shopping malls have become the first choice of Magic Cube, because such places have the most zombies and are most likely to give birth to high-level zombies. Although the buildings here are not tall, the density of zombies inside is not small.
