Chapter 965
The "Cooperation" Between the Newcomer and the Decepticons
Even the most intelligent of them, Zhan Lan and Xiao Honglu, could only barely grasp the general meaning.
Time passed by, second by second.
Chu Xuan's brows were furrowed even more at this moment.
Even for him, it would be a pipe dream to deduce a reason from the limited information he has obtained.
Unless one is omniscient and omnipotent like a god…
Seeing the sweat gradually forming on Chu Xuan's forehead and his unusual mood, Zheng Zha quickly came over:
"Alright, Chu Xuan!"
"Wake up, it's not too late to think about these things after everything is over and we return to the Main God Space."
"Perhaps we'll make new discoveries after we see that AllSpark Cube."
Hearing this, Chu Xuan finally let out a sigh of relief.
I've shaken off that slightly frantic state of mind.
He quickly regained his indifference and then nodded.
Zheng Zha recalled what had just happened: "Let's get down to business first."
"Your decoy plan, Zhan Lan just said, is not enough with just Optimus Prime. It would also require a coalition of nations and some of our people to be feasible."
"Otherwise, the disparity in strength between the two sides would be too great, making any confrontation impossible."
"So I think it would be best if I could go with them, after all, if..."
Before Zheng Zha could finish speaking, Chu Xuan, who had recovered, interrupted him.
"No, not just you, Zhao Yingkong, Li Xiao, Chen Zilong, none of the four of you can be on the battlefield as bait."
Your close-combat abilities are extremely important.
"With the future sci-fi weapons unusable, the strength of the four of you is crucial, as it determines whether we can finally obtain the AllSpark Cube."
After he finished speaking, Chu Xuan's voice softened.
"Someone definitely needs to accompany Optimus Prime to protect the other party; a B-class side quest is worth the effort!"
"Moreover, that place is also a battlefield for harvesting the core of the Spark Source."
"With the Demon Refining Pot in existence, this harvest is of paramount importance."
"Zheng Zha, grant Xiao Honglu access to the Demon Refining Pot."
Upon hearing Chu Xuan's words, Li Xiao, Chen Zilong, Zheng Zha, and the others were all taken aback.
"Wait, what B-rank side quest?"
Chu Xuan gave the others a strange look before explaining:
Didn't I say that yesterday?
"When I touched Optimus Prime, the main god prompted me that a special side quest had been triggered, which was to ensure that the Autobot leader Optimus Prime survived until our return, and the reward was a B-level side quest with 5000 reward points."
"Otherwise, why do you think I would take out the improved version of the Dangerous Wanderer and have it repaired?"
"If it weren't for this mission, I would still repair Optimus Prime, but I would only give him a barely mobile ability."
"Because in my initial decoy plan, he was destined to die. After all, in my opinion, his AllSpark core was more valuable than those Decepticon robots!"
"Moreover, it contains the legendary leader module."
"Perhaps this thing is related to the gene lock."
"Moreover, in my initial plan, the Danger Ranger was intended to be saved for use when we finally obtained the AllSpark Cube."
Looking at Chu Xuan, who was speaking eloquently, Zheng Zha had only one question in his mind.
No, isn't the reason we help Optimus Prime because he's a respectable leader?
How come there are so many hidden tricks involved?
Seeing this, Li Xiao raised his hand to cover his face and whispered:
"I knew there was something wrong here."
"If the reward given by the main god is too low, Chu Xuan probably wouldn't have said anything, after all, the AllSpark core of Optimus Prime is indeed very precious."
"If I'm not mistaken, it should be a valuable story item, just like Megatron's AllSpark Core."
Seeing Zheng Zha's face twitch, Chen Zilong quickly changed the subject and said:
"So, who's going to the decoy faction's battlefield?"
"If it needs to be attractive enough at the end, then it can't be too weak, right?"
"Zhan Lan? Or Xiao Honglu?"
Chu Xuan nodded: "Xiao Honglu will definitely go. The Human Emperor Banner needs a battlefield, and it is more suitable for such a battlefield."
"As for the others..."
Chu Xuan paused here, then looked at the figure who was playing with his hair and said:
"Xiao Honglu, I'll leave the decoy battlefield aspect to you."
"I have only one request."
"That is to lure away as many robots as possible from the AllSpark base one hour after the nuclear attack."
"Therefore, your attack must be shocking enough."
"The best-case scenario is that Megatron is able to leave with the AllSpark."
Faced with Chu Xuan's commanding order, Xiao Honglu did not react. He was stunned for a moment before agreeing immediately.
Li Xiao asked, "So the four of us are the ones chosen for the surprise attack?"
Looking at Li Xiaochuxuan who had spoken up, he said directly, "Add me and Zhan Lan as well."
"The rest of you can go and support Xiao Honglu's side."
Chu Xuan looked at Zheng Zha, who seemed hesitant to speak, and continued:
"There's not much to say, Zheng Zha. You'll have to get used to it as your strength and numbers increase,"
"It is inevitable that the Zhongzhou team will form two or even more sub-teams."
Moreover, this Transformers world doesn't seem dangerous to me; it's perfect for the team to practice and get to know each other better..."
"That's the basic situation. Optimus Prime will probably need another six days to recover. Zheng Zha, Li Xiao."
"The two of you will begin to cooperate with the human forces of this world to disperse and investigate in one hour."
“I have done a survey and removed about 30% of the cities.”
"At your pace, barring exceptionally bad luck, I think you should be able to pinpoint the location of the source of the fire within a week."
"The situation is now clear, so in the time to come..."
“At midnight, Cheng Xiao, Saito Hajime, and Chen Zilong, the four of you will act as diplomats to contact other countries and persuade them to gather their forces and enter the Americas to launch a decisive battle.”
"And Li Xiao, Zheng Zha, remember this: on the twelfth day, whether you find the AllSpark or Megatron's location, you must return to this base and rejoin us."
"I don't think you'll stop me then, Zheng Zha, right?"
Chu Xuan looked at Zheng Zha and asked seriously.
Zheng Zha naturally understood what this person meant; it was the same suggestion he had previously rejected.
Zheng Zha isn't inflexible; if he still can't find Megatron and the AllSpark Cube in the last two days...
In order to complete the main quest, he had no choice but to take that extreme approach.
Li Xiao then comforted him, saying:
"Don't worry, I don't think we'll be that unlucky. Maybe we'll be blessed by heaven and find it in a day, then we'll have plenty of time to prepare for the final battle..."
After giving these instructions, Chu Xuan turned and left, rejoining the repair work on Optimus Prime.
"I believe in our luck; so far, everything has gone smoothly, hasn't it?"
Zhan Lan stood in front of Zheng Zha and comforted him.
Upon hearing this, Zheng Zha gave a wry smile.
Is the world of Transformers truly safe this time around?
This is a horror film with twenty people, on par with Ju-on.
The existence of the Spark Source Cube directly blocked and paralyzed all of the high-tech weapons of their Central State team.
Moss, who had finally upgraded his equipment, now had a whole bunch of gear that he could no longer use.
Even the initial eight newcomers were "abandoned" by them.
To be honest, Zheng Zha really didn't understand at first.
Because so far they are fully capable of protecting newcomers.
It only takes a little more effort to bring the newcomers to this Base Number One.
It's at least absolutely safe here.
However, Zheng Zha only understood when he learned about the bait plan Chu Xuan had mentioned.
Autobot leader Optimus Prime is the bait, and so is Base One.
This even includes the human alliance that has not yet assembled, as well as Xiao Honglu and his group. Fortunately, the bloodlines and skills of the Zhongzhou team members are basically unaffected.
However, Zheng Zha felt a strange sense of unease when he thought about the billions of robots they were facing as their enemies.
Regardless of Zheng Zha's worries.
One hour later.
After confirming with President Roosevelt the number and location of cities around the world that had been invaded at that moment.
On the left and right, Zheng Zha led Zhan Lan, while Li Xiao rode on a flying sword.
Two figures sped away and disappeared from the man's military binoculars.
-
The silver color of metal can reflect 85% of sunlight.
and so.
After the densely packed flying robots around them dispersed.
A blinding light source appeared from below, shining directly into Li Qingqing and Qingchen's eyes.
It took the two of them a while to get used to what was underneath the helicopter.
At this moment, downtown New York City has been transformed into a silver building assembled entirely of metal machinery.
This building does not belong to humans, but to mechanical life.
Aside from this architecturally unique building, other locations in the surrounding area still hint at New York's former glory.
It's clear that the robot attack occurred very quickly.
It was so short that humans didn't even have time to retaliate.
As a result, the surrounding high-rise buildings did not suffer much damage.
Even the street plants continued to photosynthesize under the sunlight as always.
Nothing has changed from before.
The only difference is that the once densely populated streets are now completely deserted.
Instead, there were all sorts of robots crowding the rooftops and roadsides.
now.
Just as the two of them looked down...
Throughout the city, countless robots of all sizes raised their heads.
They could sense it.
That's the smell of humans.
Among the helicopters.
Li Qingqing and Qingchen exchanged a glance, both seeing seriousness in each other's eyes.
Obvious.
The New York City before us has been completely transformed into a nest of mechanical life.
The strange building, made entirely of metal, reflected a cold, glaring luster in the sunlight.
But it's unclear whether it was Li Qingqing's imagination.
She always had the feeling that the building was not finished, as if it was suddenly stopped halfway through construction.
"There are more robots here than I expected."
Qingchen lowered his voice and looked down through the helicopter window.
Li Qingqing murmured:
Is this New York?
"This is my first time here."
Another few minutes passed.
On the top platform of this metal building, some "people" had been waiting for quite some time.
Stepping off the helicopter, Li Qingqing had to look up at the enormous figures around her, some of which were tens of meters tall.
In this stark contrast, the girl suddenly understood the meaning of the word "ant".
These beings could easily crush her with just a lift of their feet.
At this moment, looking around, there are hundreds, thousands, even tens of thousands of robots like these.
Those standing next to them now appear to be elites from the Decepticons.
These robots are not only larger in size, but their metallic colors are also more vibrant.
Ding Dong!
Ding Dong!
Suddenly, the sounds of heavy objects hitting the ground rang out in unison.
The sudden noise interrupted their thoughts, before they could observe.
The two only saw metal balls falling from several large robots nearby and crashing onto the metal ground.
It emitted a series of crisp sounds.
Each metal ball is only a centimeter in size, but as they accumulate, they become more and more numerous.
Like a wave, it converged in front of the two of them.
Finally, the individual metal balls cracked and transformed into a small, slender, thread-like robot.
These entities, which are like copy and paste, began to link with each other.
After a series of ingenious combinations.
A flash of indigo light appeared, and the pieces of metal closed together, disappearing the seams that had been joined together.
A 1.8-meter-tall Transformer robot with human facial features and limb muscles appeared in front of Li Qingqing and Qingchen.
Upon witnessing this scene, the girl couldn't help but gape, and stammered:
Terminator?
"My God? Transformers can do this?"
Compared to the mechanical feel of other robots, this one is more like a mechanical life form.
Not robots.
After this entity, whose entire body was seamless, took shape, it first moved its body a little.
Then he turned his gaze to Li Qingqing and Qingchen, looking them up and down.
A cold, mechanical voice sounded:
"Humans!"
"Follow me."
After saying that, he turned around immediately.
The massive robots surrounding them, which resembled walls, immediately parted to make way for them.
Li Qingqing looked at Qingchen, who nodded.
The two followed.
The interior of the metal building was so captivating that Li Qingqing, an ordinary girl, was overwhelmed by the sights.
Her hand had been covering her mouth without her noticing.
Li Qingqing felt she would scream all the way if she didn't do it this way.
As for Qingchen, he was much calmer.
No matter how many amazing scenes you've seen, in the end, it's all the same.
It's just a metal building, it's just a giant robot.
Just when Li Qingqing thought they would be taken to a metal hall to meet their leader, Megatron.
As they continued forward, Li Qingqing had a bad feeling.
Before long, they arrived at a central platform.
The robot turned around and gave a "smile".
Li Qingqing's unease had reached its peak.
Before Li Qingqing could react, the perceptive Qingchen grabbed her hand.
"Trust me, everything will be alright!"
Qingchen lowered his voice to comfort him.
The mechanical lifeform leading the way displayed a vividly expressive face upon witnessing this scene. (End of Chapter)
