Chapter 260: Broken Highway Bridge

The supercar kept speeding up, and the wasp was blocked and could no longer catch up with the cube.

"Look, I told you not to worry about those wasps. I chased the tiger all over the mountain in the woods. I'm not afraid of being stung."

"Don't brag. Look at your paint job."

"Oh! Damn it! My cool paint job..."

The cube wailed. The beautiful paint job on the sports car had disappeared, replaced by a tattered car like a scrapped car. The steel withstood the wasp sting, but the paint job was corroded by the venom. With this appearance, it would have been towed away as garbage by a tow truck before the end of the world.

Helplessly, the cube had to waste energy to repaint it. After a few seconds, the supercar was cool again.

"At that time, the big tiger was chased all over the mountain. I didn't believe how powerful this thing was. Now I can see how terrible these mutant insects are. If these wasps attack the camp, will anyone survive?"

"If you are rational enough, you will survive. What you need to do is to light a fire. These things are very afraid of fire. The temperature of the flame will burn their wings and make them unable to fly. In fact, this is just the tip of the iceberg after the end of the world. I guess there are still many creatures that have or are mutating. Maybe the man-eating plant will really eat people."

"Then what should we do? Start a war to destroy all threatening animals and plants?"

"No, it can't be eliminated. You humans can only adapt. Maybe this is a new turning point."

"A new turning point?"

"That's right, like other creatures, improve your body to adapt to the new era. Haven't you noticed that although the world was wonderful before the end of the world, the human body was gradually weakening? This is an opportunity to change. When you find that having a good body is actually a very good thing, you will naturally understand the benefits."

"So..."

Zhang Xiaowen lowered the car window, leaned on the car door, blowing the wind and smelling the fragrance of the spring soil, heading north.

Outer space.

A space frigate and more than 200 fighters and reconnaissance planes appeared in the solar system. The formation flew quickly with the frigate as the center. When there were stray meteorites blocking the road, the fighters would open fire to destroy them and clear the road. The target was not the earth, but Jupiter...

The frigate quickly aimed at the surrounding star field, and then confirmed that it was the same as the target position on the star map.

Suddenly, the reconnaissance plane captured an ancient technological satellite. According to analysis, it was made by humans on Earth and dropped here to observe Jupiter. The reconnaissance plane flew close to the frigate with the satellite. The frigate opened the huge hatch. The reconnaissance plane entered the frigate and landed at the designated hangar position in a standard action as if it was automatically controlled. Soon, two engineering robots came in a hovercraft to take over the satellite and drove away along the route signs.

"The Xijun frigate arrived at the target planet. No hostile civilization fleet was found around. The reconnaissance plane captured an ancient satellite." The Xijun frigate sent satellite photos and pictures of Jupiter back to the distant Rubik's Cube.

The cockpit of the huge Rubik's Cube.

The projection device projected the 3D projection of the Earth satellite. The Cube was too lazy to even take a closer look and switched directly to the Jupiter projection.

"What a big nebula. No one should be able to find a base in it. It's time to do something to protect the Dragon Star's homeland. War... is really a love-hate existence for mechanical civilization." After the Cube finished speaking, it sent a dense number of technological drawings to the West County for construction.

"The drawings have been received. Start building the spaceport immediately."

The West County opened all the large hatches, and mining ships, engineering machinery, and engineering robots flew out one after another. Various prepared equipment was quickly assembled. Reconnaissance aircraft approached the Jupiter nebula to find a gap and drilled in. Fighters automatically formed a formation to patrol the surrounding area.

The West County frigate flew to Jupiter not only to build a spaceport, but also to build important constructions in the future, which involved a top-secret operation to successfully defend the Dragon Star's homeland, Earth.

The Cube would never have thought that its fleet would appear so close to the Earth...

…………

Earth, on a broken bridge on a highway somewhere.

The Rubik's Cube stopped at the broken bridge. Zhang Xiaowen stood beside the car and frowned at the surging river in front of her.

The melting of ice water brought an increase in water flow. Perhaps the bridge collapsed not long after the end of the world. If it was closer, the Rubik's Cube could jump over it, but the cross section was too wide. The Rubik's Cube has begun to mobilize the satellite map before the end of the world to find if there is a closer bridge to cross the river. If there is a bridge to pass, try not to wade. The river water in spring is cold. Zhang Xiaowen can still feel the coldness of the river water when she stands on the broken bridge. The breeze blows, and a few strands of hair block her eyes.

"Is there a shortcut?"

"Yes, you need to drive seven kilometers upstream. There is a rural road that can be used. Go there and find a place to replenish food and other supplies. Your food is running out."

"Okay, let's go see if there is a survivor camp."

Zhang Xiaowen bent down and sat in the co-pilot, closed the car door, and the Magic Cube turned the car back to the bridge head and drove upstream along the riverside road. The rural road was not easy to drive and the speed was not fast. Occasionally, you can see cattle and sheep and other livestock wandering alone in the crops. They don't run when they see zombies. The strong yellow cattle lowered their heads and trotted a few steps and hit the zombies, and the zombies were turned into pieces.

Zhang Xiaowen stared at the Magic Cube's super detection equipment to find out if there is a survivor camp. Fortunately, many simple houses were found on the high ground by the river. The detection equipment showed that there were more than 20 light spots representing humans there.

"I don't know if they will be friendly..."

"It should be fine. Once there are more of you humans, some of you will turn bad. There are only 20 people, so the chance of a bad guy appearing is very low. Of course, there are exceptions."

While talking, the Magic Cube drove to the shabby wooden door at the bottom of the highland slope and stopped by the roadside. Zhang Xiaowen got out of the car with a pistol.

On the wooden door, five or six children were laughing and looking at Zhang Xiaowen. Seeing this, the Magic Cube felt relieved and did not send out the spider robot to protect Zhang Xiaowen. Since she was able to bring her children with her in this doomsday with scarce supplies, only those who had a little kindness in their hearts would do so except for the big camp. Seeing that they did not show evil eyes to Zhang Xiaowen, a single girl, their character was acceptable.

The people inside opened the wooden door and welcomed Zhang Xiaowen with a smile.

"Girl, you are really brave. You dare to run around outside alone. Be careful of those man-eating monsters."

A white-haired lady pushed a few children aside to let Zhang Xiaowen in, and called on others to come out and take a look, as if it was a big deal to suddenly see a living person.

"It's not just me, it's my car."

"It's not good for a girl to have a car. What if it runs out of gas? You must be starving. Let's go. We are having lunch. It's coarse grains and rice, but it's hot."
