Chapter 18: Kitchen Robots

Late at night.

Zhang Xiaowen was sleeping soundly in bed, and occasionally she frowned and turned over and talked in her sleep. The Rubik's Cube was sitting on the windowsill beside the bed, silently looking at the dark city under the starry sky. From time to time, there would be faint lights shaking on the upper floors of a certain building. Those were the survivors who were collecting supplies.

Bring the laptop over, turn it on, open the music software, and select a few soft and soothing music. Zhang Xiaowen, who was moving around in bed, finally calmed down and relaxed her brows. Music is really a strange thing. It can relieve stress at this time.

Soft and soothing music surrounded the room. The Rubik's Cube looked at the starry sky and fell into deep thought. In fact, he could wait alone without worries for the main interstellar battleship to send a spacecraft to search for him. The earthlings and the Rubik's Cube had nothing to do with each other. After all, the essence of life was different, but the Rubik's Cube still chose to save him. There was no reason, just to do so. It turned out that he was not a cold-blooded machine...

…………

In the early morning, it was another sunny day.

Zhang Xiaowen stretched and opened her eyes, still holding her stuffed rabbit toy in her arms. She shrugged her little nose, and a fragrant smell of fried eggs floated from the kitchen.

"Magic Cube! Were you a kitchen robot before? A rice cooker or a microwave oven?"

Dang! Magic Cube almost threw away the spatula in his hand. He had gotten up early to make fried eggs for Zhang Xiaowen, a mechanical life form that he was not interested in at all, but he was mistaken for a kitchen robot! A rice cooker and a microwave oven! On the kitchen stove, there was a frying pan on the flame brought by the burning solid alcohol. The Magic Cube holding the frying pan was smoking in several places. This was the rhythm of the computer overheating due to high-speed operation...

"Stupid woman! I am a Decepticon! I want to destroy the earth and build a Cybertron colony base!"

Pang! Four big fried eggs were thrown into the plate, followed by a spoon thrown into the plate with a clang. The two mechanical hands of the Magic Cube grabbed the frying pan and smashed it on his mechanical head continuously.

Ding ding ding...

"Oh my~ Do you Transformers do morning exercises like this~" Zhang Xiaowen said vaguely with toothpaste foam in her mouth.

"Cube, why are you smoking? Did the parts short-circuit and burn?"

"Cube, why are you hitting the wall? Look, the tiles are cracked."

"Cube..."

"…………"

Cube decided to be alone.

After breakfast, the plan to leave the city prepared yesterday began to be implemented. Staying one more day means one more day of danger. The population density in the city is high, and the number of zombies is particularly large.

The first thing is to take Zhang Xiaowen away from this residential building. What Cube didn't expect was that Zhang Xiaowen actually had a driver's license, and it was a B license. It turned out that when Zhang Xiaowen went to learn to drive, there was no small car class, but there happened to be a large car class. I don't know how loose and casual this driving school is. Just let Zhang Xiaowen, a limited edition road killer, join the large car class. What the hell is that she passed!

Cube kept staring at Zhang Xiaowen, as if there was a flower on her face.

"Why are you staring at me? I washed my face and put on makeup this morning."

"How long have you been driving a large truck? Don't tell me you only drove it in the driving school. Although you don't need very good skills now, I'm afraid you will drive the car into the river." Rubik's Cube said seriously.

"Well, I drove it when I was in the driving school. After graduation, I only drove an electric bicycle. I always planned to buy a car at that time, but I didn't have enough money..."

Forget it, a driver is enough, don't ask for too much. Rubik's Cube silently turned around and searched for the route to the freight station. His 30-centimeter-tall body couldn't drive at all. Otherwise, it would be better to drive directly downstairs. It would be safe and labor-saving. I don't know when the absorbing metal will be upgraded again. At that time, it will become a large robot and do whatever it wants.

After searching for a while, a safe and fast route was quickly found. The building where Zhang Xiaowen was located was surrounded by dense buildings. Due to the original design problem, telephone lines, cable TV lines and other lines were fixed through the building. The distance between the buildings was narrow. You could jump over the narrow places and crawl over the wide places along a thick bundle of lines. It mainly depends on Zhang Xiaowen's courage. This is not a problem. Being timid can be trained.

The roof of a residential building.

"The distance between the two buildings is 1.36 meters. You can jump over it as long as you run up and then jump. Spiderman can do it, so can you. After all, your physical fitness has been enhanced far beyond all ordinary humans. Of course, some people may evolve because of the virus, but these have nothing to do with jumping."

The Rubik's Cube was standing on the edge of the roof and talking freely. In the distance was Zhang Xiaowen, who was sitting on the roof nervously and scared. She was wearing a combat uniform, a helmet and goggles, and a marching bag on her back. A plush rabbit was exposed at the opening of the bag.

"What if I fall down..."

"Come on, it's really narrow. With your current physique, you can jump over even four meters. Come on, let's start with the narrow one."

"Can you find a board to lay across it? I'm really scared."

"I'll show you how to do it first, watch carefully." After saying that, the Rubik's Cube stepped back a distance, and the mechanical calves began to run and accelerate. The wheeled feet ran very smoothly. When it ran to the edge of the roof, one of the mechanical legs suddenly exerted force and jumped up, swinging several times in the air. In slow motion, it was comparable to a long jumper. Yes, these movements were imitated from those long jumpers and then accurately calculated.

It landed on the roof of another building with a few clicks, rolled twice and stood up, and the two wheeled feet turned several times like roller skates and drove back to the edge of the building.

"Look, how simple."

And Zhang Xiaowen was still hesitating there. Looking down from a high place was particularly creepy. Somehow there were still a few zombies stuck between the two buildings.

I knew it was like this. If there was a zombie behind, it could jump over, right? Hehe, it would be in a hurry to come over in a while. The Rubik's Cube emitted light from its eyes and chest. Several beams of light synthesized a 3D zombie projection not far behind Zhang Xiaowen. This was projected based on the real images of zombies on the street. It was very realistic and difficult to distinguish true from false.

Zhang Xiaowen was still curious about why the Rubik's Cube made the light, and looked back with her eyes wide open...

"Ah...! Zombies!"

She stood up in a flash, looked around hurriedly, and suddenly accelerated her running, screaming and jumping to the side of the Rubik's Cube. Her speed was definitely faster than those hurdle masters on the field. The Rubik's Cube was very pleased with this. At least her energy was not wasted in vain. This child can still be taught.

"Zombies! Where are the zombies? I just saw them behind me trying to bite me! I should have killed them earlier." Zhang Xiaowen looked around nervously, holding the dagger tightly in her hand.

"The zombies fell down the building. Let's go. We have to hurry."
