Chapter 9: Killing Zombies

The building where Zhang Xiaowen lives used to be a very prosperous area. Living here has brought great convenience to her work. Whether it is getting her hair done, going to the movies, shopping or going to restaurants, it is very convenient. After the apocalypse, it has become a zombie disaster area. Looking down from the window, the street is still as bustling as before, but zombies are numbly wandering around. After four days, the convenience of the past has become a dead end today.

"Cube... How do we go..."

"The situation is not good. There are too many zombies. I haven't installed a weapon system. If you force your way in, you will be injured. It is recommended to continue waiting."

"The country will definitely send troops to rescue us, it will."

"You still don't have too much hope. Even if there is an army, it is still difficult now. The social system has been severely damaged. Many weapons and equipment systems are no longer usable. Besides... the dark side of human nature has also erupted."

The Cube is not optimistic about humans. It continues to sit on the windowsill to detect the environment and collect various data. Suddenly, it finds something strange in a high-rise residential building opposite.

"It's on the eighth floor of a residential building at one o'clock ahead."

"What's wrong? That's..."

Zhang Xiaowen covered her mouth and stared at the residential building opposite in disbelief. A young and beautiful girl with disheveled hair and no clothes was lying on the windowsill crying and screaming. Behind her was a middle-aged man who kept moving, and two young men were waiting beside her. Zhang Xiaowen originally hoped that someone would come to save her. When the zombies broke out, the most important thing was to be with humans, but... why is it like this! Shouldn't we help each other when facing difficulties! After witnessing the experience of the girl in the residential building opposite, Zhang Xiaowen's heart was suddenly filled with fear, even if there was a zombie outbreak, she would not be so scared.

"Cube..."

"I didn't install the weapon system, otherwise they wouldn't survive. However, I have decided to upgrade my body. If I can't install the ion cannon, I'll install a low-tech weapon on Earth."

"Cube, you will definitely protect me, right?"

"Before I install the weapon system, you'd better learn to hide. Also, you must learn to fight zombies to increase your chances of survival."

"But I'm scared."

"I won't be afraid if I kill more."

"How to kill..."

"First practice killing zombies that can't move, train your courage, and then train your body to kill zombies that can move."

Too lazy to talk nonsense, Cube jumped off the windowsill, opened the door and entered the corridor, and pulled down a wire from the wall. He was too short and the steps were too high, so he could only jump down the stairs one by one, looking for zombies in each room. Luckily, he found a female zombie on the fourth floor.

"Hi~ Hello, Earthling. I'm Rubik's Cube. I need to borrow your physical body to try it out."

"Maybe you can't answer, but I'm not interested in your answer. Now, tie a knot and make a set."

"Then, trap your hands."

"Okay, follow me. I haven't tied your legs yet."

Using wires to pull the zombie, he walked to the top floor step by step. Although it was slow, he could walk anyway. Only Rubik's Cube could do this job. After all, no zombie would take metal as food. Even if the virus evolved more powerfully, it would not change the fact that it was a carbon-based life form. He pulled the zombie into the room next to Zhang Xiaowen, tied the heating pipe with wires, and fixed all parts. After doing all this, he ran to the zombie that was killed in the stairs, pulled out a sharp knife, and wiped it on the zombie's clothes.

"Stupid woman! Come and cut the rotten meat!"

"I won't go! Get it away!" Zhang Xiaowen screamed.

"…………" Rubik's Cube was speechless.

"I'll give you two choices. First, live well. Second, choose the same as the girl in the opposite building."

The cube looked at the zombies in front of him and became excited because of Zhang Xiaowen's voice. The sharp knife flew up and down in the small mechanical hand. The detector kept scanning Zhang Xiaowen's room. Zhang Xiaowen could be seen walking around nervously. Everyone would be nervous and panic when facing zombies for the first time, but if they couldn't even pass this level, how could they continue to survive in the future.

Soon, the cube showed a human smile on his face, and Zhang Xiaowen finally came out.

Grabbing the door handle and taking a deep breath, Zhang Xiaowen slowly turned the security door. One step, two steps, three steps slowly, looking at the neighbors on the ground who used to be friendly, now turned into a pile of rotten meat, the stinky smell kept drilling into the nostrils, suppressing the nausea in the stomach, and quickly ran into the familiar next door.

Hehe~ The zombies who were tied up tightly became more excited when they saw Zhang Xiaowen coming in, struggling hard to pounce on the delicious food.

What is that! The eyes were white on her gray face, her mouth was drooling and she was biting with a clacking sound, there were fleshy threads between her teeth, and her pajamas were covered with dark brown bloodstains...

"Don't scream! Stupid woman, remember, screaming is a way to seek death!" Mofang quickly stopped Zhang Xiaowen from screaming.

"Woo woo... Can I not cut her..."

"Remember! It's not a human! The sharp knife is on the table, take it, cut the zombie's head, or cut off the zombie's neck. There is no need to attack other parts, because that will not have much effect on the zombie. Of course, you can cut off the zombie's legs to make it crippled."

Zhang Xiaowen held the sharp knife tightly with both hands, trembling and walked forward, closing her eyes and cutting at the zombie.

"Stupid woman, open your eyes, this is not a flying knife acrobatics, and your left forearm increases 20% of the force, 20 centimeters forward."

Take a deep breath, Zhang Xiaowen opened her eyes, looking at the zombie struggling in front of her, the knife just now only cut the zombie's face, and the white muscles were still exposed. Zhang Xiaowen tried her best to hold back the nausea in her stomach and raised the knife again with a pale face. Maybe after the first cut, the second cut became less scary. She held the sharp knife tightly, aimed at the zombie's forehead, and stabbed hard.

With a sound of "Puff", the sharp knife pierced deeply into the weak skull, and the zombie stopped struggling immediately. With a twist of its neck, the woman's body finally got rid of the virus.

"Well done, although stupid."

Zhang Xiaowen threw away the sharp knife and squatted on the ground, buried her head between her legs and cried, trying to calm down, ignoring the Rubik's Cube.

"Hurry back to the room and close the door. I'll go out and get you a weapon. By the way, I have to prepare materials to upgrade myself." After saying that, the Rubik's Cube jumped out of the window with a few bounces. Zhang Xiaowen was shocked to see the Rubik's Cube jumping out of the window. After thinking about it, he was a Transformer, so what was there to worry about? She looked at the dead zombie, turned around and ran back to her house quickly, locked the security door, looked at the empty room, and felt a sense of fear again, muttering the name of the Rubik's Cube...

…………

After the Rubik's Cube jumped out of the window, it grabbed the telephone line in mid-air and swung a few times, then jumped down at a fruit stand awning.

Bang~Crack! After landing on the awning and bouncing off the budget track, the Rubik's Cube fell face down on the tar road. Several zombies heard the sound and looked over here.

"You damn rotten meat! Haven't you seen a starship fall? Stupid low-level creatures!" He shook his head fiercely and tore off the plastic bag hanging on his head.

After a few swearing words, the Rubik's Cube deformed all over, and with a few clicks, it quickly turned into a remote-controlled blue large-wheeled toy off-road vehicle. With a faint sound of the motor, the Rubik's Cube passed through the feet of the zombies one by one.

"You idiot! Watch your feet!" While dodging the big feet that kept falling, he rushed to the pedestrian street quickly. There are many prosperous electrical appliance stores and mobile phone stores on the pedestrian street. These things contain some metals needed for the Rubik's Cube to upgrade. If the world is still normal, the Rubik's Cube cannot do anything out of line. Now it is ownerless and can be taken at will. No one has called the police yet.

Behind a window.

"Brother! Look! There are still people playing with remote-controlled toy cars..."
