Apocalyptic starship

It's about two o'clock in the afternoon.

A large truck and three trucks towing anti-aircraft guns were driving on the country road at a not too fast speed. Fortunately, the northeastern country road was still wide enough to drive on. When encountering a sharp turn, you had to get out of the car and slowly adjust to turn around. The large truck There were two squad machine guns mounted on the roof of the car, and one in each truck behind. They were killing some scattered zombies while driving on the road.

"Stop! Establish a temporary position and watch out for zombies."

The convoy stopped on a remote road relatively close to the valley and unhooked the anti-aircraft gun attached to the back of the third truck. The car was filled with cotton clothes, quilts, tents, salt, sugar, cooking oil and other substances that needed to be transported to the valley.

Fortunately, the military truck has strong off-road performance. With a truck full of supplies, it drove past the crop fields and a small river. Even the sloped wasteland was still unimpeded.

The Rubik's Cube turned into a remote-controlled helicopter and was firmly fixed on the roof of the car. In addition to Zhang Xiaowen, there were two fully armed female team members in the cab. The young officer who had been notified by the wireless phone had already waited on the stone wall of the valley with all the men who could carry him. He stood on tiptoes and built a pergola with his hands to look into the distance, as if he was waiting for a long-lost relative to see him. As soon as the military truck arrived, they rushed down the stone wall to greet them.

It was already autumn, and these survivors who had escaped had already been chilled by the cool autumn wind at night. They were so happy to see this cart of quilts, cotton clothes, and tents. No matter what, with these things, they could survive the winter even if they persisted. However, although the conditions are difficult, there is nothing we can do about it.

Some survivors asked why they didn't leave here by car. Zhang Xiaowen briefly described the conditions on the road and the cannibal zombies that appeared from time to time to dispel the idea. It would be no problem for an armed convoy to pass by, but pulling hundreds of them exuded the scent of flesh and blood. That person would definitely have a narrow escape from death, and the guard team might even be lost.

Unload the supplies and bid farewell to everyone in the valley, return to the country road, hang up the anti-aircraft guns and continue the journey home...

…………

After returning to the camp, Rubik's Cube immediately began the project of fully arming the camp.

Each Guard-1 robot dismantles the assault rifle and replaces it with a machine gun for the squad. In addition to the missiles, it also adds two gun barrels. Large targets in the air and in the distance are dealt with by missiles. The two anti-aircraft guns are responsible for dealing with all large targets within the sight line. The machine gun is used to clear ordinary small targets. The combination of near, medium, and high height makes the defense more perfect. The Guard-1 type has been upgraded to a large defense platform responsible for camp security.

The anti-aircraft guns installed on the Guard-1 robot are all those that were disassembled and brought back. The complete anti-aircraft guns are not disassembled but are arranged in a circle around the residential area. They are usually covered with rainproof cloth. In case of emergency, the Guard-1 robot can defend itself. You can also join the battle to reduce the pressure on the robot.

The factory is currently working hard to produce missiles, and the expansion of the factory is imminent. After all, a fully automated factory can continuously produce bullets and artillery shells. After all, sooner or later, the collected storage will be used up.

After hard work, all Guard-1 robots have been modified...

…………

A few days later at night, the Rubik's Cube, exhausted from work, woke up from its dormant state.

It was quiet in the hall of the room. The four evil cats had gone out to hunt. Jiajia was sleeping with a rabbit stuffed toy in the room on the second floor. On the balcony, Zhang Xiaowen leaned on the railing with her arms to look at the moon. The silver moonlight shone on Zhang Xiaowen and gave off a glow. A soft and dreamy picture.

With great effort, he lifted up the mechanical leg and climbed up the steps to the second floor, opened the glass door and stepped onto the balcony.

"Wenzi, what are you doing? I thought I was the only one who would stare blankly into space. Are you also from an alien planet?" Holding onto the railing, the Rubik's Cube struggled to climb up the railing and sit down.

"I miss home..."

"Missing home... um... let's go to your house as soon as possible..." Rubik's Cube didn't know what to say for a moment, and could barely find a few words that could be used in the computer. It has been so long since the apocalypse broke out, and the living conditions are getting worse and worse. In the past, I heard Zhang Xiaowen say that her home was in Province H, which is separated from Province J to the north. I rarely heard Zhang Xiaowen mention her family. I am afraid I have imagined the scene of returning to my home countless times in my mind. , traffic is paralyzed, congestion is everywhere, and zombies are everywhere. It is very difficult to find relatives across a province, unless there is a plane.

"I don't know what my parents are like. They came to Jiangcheng to see me this spring. They rarely talk on the phone. Now that I think about it, I realize that I am really unfilial..."

"In this day and age... Who of the modern young people will pay attention to their family and parents before the end of the world? They only think about work and pleasure every day. After many years, they regret that they did not spend more time with their parents. However, as long as they understand it, it will be fine. I regret it." That moment means that parents understand what filial piety is, and parents will smile and love their children more.”

"I feel much better after hearing what you said. By the way, how do you understand the various emotions between these humans?"

"It's very simple. I'm just a mechanical life form, or just complex energy. I can completely observe and analyze humans from a perspective other than humans, but you always can't observe yourself from another perspective."

"Then...do you have parents?"

"…………"

The Rubik's Cube became quiet, the mechanical parts extending outside drooped downwards, and the mechanical eyes dimmed...

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..."

"It's okay, I'm just feeling a little emotional, remembering those days in Longxing."

"Can you tell me, I want to know how you came to the world, what was the first thing you saw, I just want to know." Zhang Xiaowen straightened her long hair and stared at the Rubik's Cube curiously.

"Okay, I remember that I suddenly felt my existence at that time, just suddenly. I remember when I looked outside for the first time, I saw the starry sky. Later I realized that it was an imaging device installed above the starship. Later..." In the room on the second floor, Jiajia was lying on the bed and fast asleep. On the balcony outside the window, Zhang Xiaowen was propping up her chin and listening to the Rubik's Cube sitting on the fence. The silver moonlight was shining, and the light blue was like a fairy tale. world……

the next day.

The Longshan Camp once again organized an operation to collect factory equipment. This time they drove three large trucks, starting with the modified large truck.

The collection went very smoothly. Perhaps it was because the Rubik's Cube had eliminated evolved zombies and lickers twice, which resulted in the near-extinction of these ferocious zombies near the suburban factory area, which greatly accelerated the loading speed. It was not enough to take it back once, and then it was finished again after the Rubik's Cube was carried. I feel that the current construction work is almost done and it’s time to look for metal absorption upgrades.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Rubik's Cube bid farewell to Zhang Xiaowen and flew alone to the south of the city, where there is an industrial park with more factories that can collect more rare metals.

When passing through the city, I flew to the roof of the building and looked around, but I didn't find the sniper girl and her group. All the daily necessities and things on the rooftop were no longer there. It seemed that they had moved to other places to live and survive. After one lap, we turned around and headed straight to the Southern Industrial Park...
