Chapter 1008: An Eye for an Eye (Part II)
This Bahai military camp had a garrison of fewer than several hundred soldiers.
Even adding the soldiers that Cemetery Wind successfully smuggled into South America, the total was still less than a thousand.
The black exoskeleton combat suits worn by the Chameleon Mercenaries were both powerful bulletproof vests and combat assistance devices.
Furthermore, every mercenary wore multi-functional combat goggles, which could link directly through a nearby Golden Eagle Armed Transport Ship to dozens of micro-drone scouts released by the transport ship above the camp.
At the same time, this multi-functional combat goggle was also a computer with extremely powerful information processing capabilities.
With the help of data provided by the drone scouts, every Chameleon Mercenary could transform into a cheater in a game with auto-aim, wall-hack, and head-lock cheats enabled, crazily harvesting all resistance forces within the camp.
The chaotic battle lasted for less than eight minutes.
The Chameleon Mercenaries, who were like dozens of killing machines, had completely eliminated all resistance forces within the entire camp.
Following a comprehensive scan of the entire camp interior by dozens of drone scouts to ensure there were no survivors,
the Chameleon Mercenary Commander responsible for this raid issued the order to retreat.
"Operation concluded, prepare to retreat!"
This Chameleon unit, which had suffered zero casualties, began to efficiently head toward the Golden Eagle Armed Transport Ship.
Not long after, the Golden Eagle Armed Transport Ship activated its Optical Stealth System again, then ascended and disappeared into the night.
On this day, similar raids also occurred in over a dozen high-end apartments and manors within Brazil.
The residences of over a dozen Brazilian politicians and high-level government officials who were very close to the United States were attacked, and all members, including the individuals themselves and their families, were shot and killed.
And at almost the same time, multiple police stations in Brazil received emergency calls and dispatched officers to arrest hundreds of drug cartel armed members and gang gunmen.
In the following few days, news of multiple Brazilian government officials and politicians being retaliated against by drug cartel armed forces and gang factions due to their recent formulation of anti-gang and anti-drug policies spread rapidly across the internet and on television stations, newspapers, and magazines both inside and outside Brazil, driven by a mastermind behind the scenes.
For a time, Brazil attracted quite a lot of attention.
And Sun Cheng once again arrived at a Laboratory of the 【Academy of Sciences】.
"Hades, how is the Beast Project progressing?"
As soon as Sun Cheng arrived in Hades's Laboratory, he asked bluntly.
Hades was one of the many Decepticon Engineers under his command, and also one of the first few Decepticons to become a Senior Engineer.
This guy was very interested in carbon-based organisms and various modification experiments; for this reason, Sun Cheng had always kept him in charge of research regarding Earth organisms and biochemical modification.
Nearly a year ago, after the Cairo Battle broke out, Sentinel Prime used a portal to transport a considerable number of Quintesson soldiers to Earth.
Sun Cheng had also experienced the combat power and madness of the Quintesson soldiers during the battle, and he was very interested in these Quintesson combat units that seemed to have no rationality at all, yet possessed considerable combat power.
Consequently, batches of Quintesson soldier corpses were sent to Hades's Laboratory.
A project named 'Beast' was also initiated and pushed forward by him.
"Commander, what you need is just a kind of monster that can destroy without restraint. We have already cultivated a batch of such monsters by referencing Cybertron's Predacon and the relevant cultivation technologies of the Quintesson soldiers."
He led Sun Cheng deep into the underground of the Laboratory, into a cage surrounded by special alloy walls several meters thick.
As soon as Sun Cheng walked in, he immediately felt that he was being targeted by something.
He looked up and saw that in this special cage of about five hundred square meters, there were three steel monsters that looked extremely like the saber-toothed tigers that had been extinct on Earth for many years, staring at him fixedly with scarlet eyes.
Each of these three monsters appeared to be over two meters tall, and their body length including the tail was estimated to be around six meters.
Although their bodies were composed of special alloys, those three beast bodies were now covered in sharp claw marks and round holes suspected to have been pierced by a pair of long, sharp fangs.
"Roar..."
A low beast roar came from the mouths of the three monsters, which were originally coiled in the corners of the cage, wary and guarding against each other.
At the same time, one monster could no longer hold back and charged toward Sun Cheng.
"Beast nature and instinct are above all else; is there not much intelligence..."
Sun Cheng asked Hades, who was to the side.
Hades nodded and waved his hand, "Crackle!"
A nozzle suddenly extended from the top of the cage and shot out a bolt of lightning, which quickly struck the steel monster that was about to pounce on Sun Cheng.
"Awoo..."
The roar immediately turned into a whimper, and the steel monster fell from mid-air to the ground, twitching and temporarily unable to move.
"Commander, these are the first batch of experimental subjects we have manufactured. Their individual combat power is above that of a Warrior, and they possess the same crazy combat instincts as Quintesson soldiers, unable to resist attacking every target they see."
Hades was still speaking when he suddenly waved his hand again.
Two more nozzles extended from the top of the cage and shot out two bolts of lightning, striking the other two monsters, which had been crawling to launch an attack on the two of them, to the ground where they twitched incessantly.
"However, the drawbacks are also very obvious!" Hades looked at the three steel monsters with some regret. "Electromagnetic weapons cause great damage to them, and their intelligence is even lower than that of Quintesson soldiers and Decepticon Warriors. If thrown onto the battlefield, they will be combat machines that cannot distinguish between friend and foe!"
"That is already enough!"
Although Sun Cheng also coveted the Decepticon Legion's Warriors and the cultivation technology of the Quintesson soldiers,
if he really obtained the relevant technology, he would adopt a method of absorption and improvement, and would absolutely not simply adopt it entirely.
The reason was also very simple: whether they were Warriors or Quintesson soldiers, they were merely pure Cannon Fodder on the battlefield, and they had serious shortcomings in terms of obeying commands.
Compared to them, Combat Robots, which were also positioned as battlefield Cannon Fodder, were clearly cheaper to build and more convenient for unified command.
However, Sun Cheng actually highly encouraged this kind of imitation by referencing the other party's technology in small amounts to increase his own scientific research foundation.
For example, the steel monsters cultivated by the Beast Project that Hades was in charge of could be thrown into battlefields suitable for them to destroy to their heart's content after targeted modifications.
Thinking of this, he sneered and instructed Hades: "You can continue to research the Beast Project. I will have someone come to take these three monsters away in a moment. They have a place where they can perform to their heart's content!"
Since the Yankees had always been thinking of him, Sun Cheng could only pay them back in their own coin.
Since they wanted to play tricks on his turf, Sun Cheng did not mind creating some trouble for their homeland.
A few hours later, a Golden Eagle Armed Transport Ship quietly loaded the three steel monsters, which were temporarily paralyzed by electromagnetism, and after activating its Optical Stealth System, flew toward the United States.
New Year's Eve, wishing everyone a Happy New Year!
