Apocalyptic starship

On the pedestrian street in the cold night, the broken doors of several barbecue stalls and cold drink stalls were swaying in the wind. Zombies of all ages were crowded together, seemingly huddled together for warmth.

"Roar~" A zombie turned to the side and yelled reluctantly, complaining why he was pushed to the side of the road.

I saw a man carrying a backpack pushing away zombies one after another and trying hard to walk towards the shopping mall. On a dark night with only white snow visible, a large living person walked in and out of the zombies as if they were nothing. This scene is absolutely rare in the world. This 'person' is not a human being, but a Rubik's Cube that has transformed into a human form. Although the appearance looks the same as a human being, the zombies can still tell the difference between food and steel.

The robot hand easily pushed a killer zombie into the sewer well, stepped on its head and walked over. After wandering here for a long time, except for four evolved zombies and a licker, there was not even a single other type of zombie seen, especially the tank zombies. Not even a toe was visible.

Rubik's Cube, who was squeezing among the zombies, paused, raised his head and looked at a window on the third floor of the top floor of the commercial building, where there was light just now.

After scanning, it was found that there were three humans there, two women and one man, fully armed and carrying knives and guns. They did not look like survivors who had been trapped here for several months, but like people searching for supplies in a certain camp. This made Rubik's Cube feel I was very surprised. This place was full of zombies. How did the three of them enter the commercial building? Were they forced in? It doesn’t look like it either.

Driven by curiosity, the Rubik's Cube decided to take a look. If he didn't understand it, he felt mechanically uncomfortable.

Pushing away the zombies, he swaggered towards the entrance of the commercial building. As he walked, he searched for human expressions from the previously downloaded database and simulated them in detail. It didn't have to be the most standard, as long as it was the most common, as well as the way the facial muscles moved when he opened his mouth to speak. Details determine success or failure. If you want to do something, make it the most perfect.

Walking to the door of the shopping mall, he looked at the passage filled with debris. The Rubik's Cube raised his head and found a window on the second floor. He grabbed the bulge on the wall and easily climbed in. His movements were light and did not make any noise.

On the third floor, there is a specialty store.

A bonfire was burning in the middle of the room, and the expressions of the three people could be clearly seen in the firelight. There were also three aluminum lunch boxes on the fire. In the lunch boxes, there were dinners made of various foods mixed together. The store was warmed by a bonfire, and there were three piles of simple beds made of down jackets, quilts, and other items piled in the corner. The three of them did not appear nervous or in a hurry, as if they didn't care about the zombies downstairs.

"Sister, I'll give you a piece of bacon. I don't like eating this." The boy put a piece of meat into a girl's lunch box. The girl didn't refuse. Apparently, this happened often.

"Go to bed early after eating. We have to find a way to get medicine from the pharmacy tomorrow. If we can't get the medicine to treat the flu this time, I'm afraid people will die in the camp. Alas... when will the cold winter be over..." It depends on your age. The older sister sighed and stuffed food into her mouth with a spoon.

The younger girl said nothing and ate the food in the lunch box silently. The atmosphere was a bit depressing for a while.

In a room not far away, Rubik's Cube observed for a while and felt that it might not be good to go there late at night and might cause misunderstandings. He simply decided to wait until tomorrow morning to meet the three of them. After waiting for a while, the three of them fell asleep and then sat down. It enters standby mode on the steps from the second floor to the third floor.

…………

In the morning, the sky is getting brighter.

The Rubik's Cube pretended to be asleep, and waited until the three men quietly surrounded him before pretending to just wake up.

"Uh... what are you going to do..." Rubik's Cube said, looking at the three knives placed in front of his neck. Although these knives can't cut his neck, they are uncomfortable and make him look like a prisoner. If he had known better, he wouldn't have pretended to sleep. .

"Who are you? Why do you sleep here? We didn't find anyone here yesterday. How did you get in?" the older girl asked warily.

"I was chased by a zombie yesterday. The zombie was so fast! It was running like a human being! It was really difficult to get rid of it. Fortunately, I succeeded."

After saying that, Rubik's Cube patted his chest, and the mechanical parts of his chest rose and fell slightly to pretend to take a deep breath. Taking advantage of his rapid thinking, he also checked the muscle expressions on one side of his face to make sure there were no mistakes. Everything in the Rubik's Cube behaves very normally. If it were a policeman who solves crimes all the time, I'm afraid he would immediately feel that something is abnormal and there may be something wrong with it. Too normal sometimes means something is abnormal...

The three of them looked at each other, and the figure of an evolved zombie appeared in their minds at the same time. It was fast and ran like a human. What else could it be besides an evolved zombie? However... there was an evolved zombie sleeping among the three of them last night. Wandering around, I shudder just thinking about it.

"How many of you are there?" the boy asked pretending to be fierce.

"It's just me, everyone else is dead."

"…………"

The three of them were silent. Dead people are normal, but immortal people are abnormal. This can be regarded as a kind of helplessness and sadness in the end of the world. The more dead people are, the more normal they are. It feels ridiculous to think about it. The three of them basically believed what Rubik's Cube said. Looking at Rubik's Cube's appearance, they felt that Rubik's Cube was an ordinary survivor struggling to survive. They took back their knives after feeling that there was no threat.

"My name is Gao Xuemei. This is my brother Gao Xuelong and Liu Yan. We are from the Shancheng County camp. What is your name?" asked the older girl.

"Just call me Rubik's Cube. My name before the end of the world is no longer important. The past is the past."

Rubik's Cube shrugged his shoulders and made an indifferent expression. He didn't expect to meet the people from the Shancheng County camp. What he didn't understand was why three young people were allowed to go out alone to search for supplies. Wasn't there even a middle-aged man?

"The Rubik's Cube? It's a strange name, but it doesn't matter. After the end of the world, everything will be destroyed, so it doesn't matter what it is called."

The girl shook her head, with a sense of seeing through the world.

"Don't worry, we have a safe passage to leave here. When we complete the mission, we will take you to our camp. Although life is not as good as before, at least we have food and don't have to worry about being eaten by zombies. Now you follow me, Xue Long Liuyan, you two are at the back."

"Thank you ~ This is really good news for me."

With the backpack on his back and the steel bar in his hand, Rubik's Cube followed Gao Xuemei, followed by Gao Xuelong and Liu Yan. This formation was to prevent Rubik's Cube, a stranger, from making any unfavorable moves. The two people behind him acted as supervisors. Rubik's Cube didn't care, anyway. Go check out the Shancheng County camp. It’s not like they’re here to kill people or cause destruction. It’s okay to be surrounded.

Following the three of them, they walked gently to the first floor of the commercial building, and then turned into a suit store. Rubik's Cube finally figured out how the three of them entered the commercial building through the dense zombies. It turned out that they used the sewer.

Computers have computer methods, and humans have human ingenuity. I really don’t think much about channels like sewers other than catching mice and using Rubik’s cubes.
