Chapter 1009: Nightmare in the Steel Capital

Pittsburgh, a city with a permanent population of no more than several hundred thousand, seems to have far less exposure in the United States and even global media than other American cities.

After its founding, from the American Civil War until the start of World War I, it began to exert its strength, quickly defeating a group of competitors from old Europe, seizing the reputation of the world's steel capital, and holding it firmly in its grasp for over half a century.

It wasn't until the end of the last century, with the rise of the steel industry in a certain country in the Far East, that Pittsburgh surrendered this crown at the turn of the new and old centuries, and from then on, its appearances in the media of various countries around the world gradually decreased.

However, it is precisely this low profile.

That has caused more and more people to begin to overlook the importance of this city, located in the southwestern part of Pennsylvania, to the industrial and military industrial sectors of the United States.

But even though the crown of the world's steel capital has been snatched away by a certain city in a certain Far Eastern country.

Pittsburgh remains the most important steel industrial base in the United States, possessing developed alloy and smelting industries, and even its most inconspicuous new materials manufacturing industry ranks among the best in the United States.

At the beginning of its development, Pittsburgh was one of the most polluted cities in the United States.

The American media once cited a painting by a certain artist titled "Smoke Pittsburgh," satirizing it as the source of pollution in the United States.

However, later, with the development of industrialization and the improvement of economic conditions, Pittsburgh began to spend huge sums of money to improve and upgrade equipment after entering the Cold War era, shutting down a large number of highly polluting enterprises, while simultaneously treating the severely polluted rivers and soil.

Over the decades, many of the new generation of Pittsburgh citizens do not even know how severe the pollution was in the past in this steel capital, which has been praised by the media again as the most livable city.

It is another beautiful day, after finishing a day's work.

Just past six in the afternoon, the office workers of the steel capital have just finished a busy day and are about to start enjoying their happy time.

However, no one knows that a Golden Eagle Armed Transport Ship with optical stealth activated has already quietly arrived over Pittsburgh.

The city of Pittsburgh was once one of the military strongholds of the United States a long time ago.

But with the changes of the times, there has long been no war that could threaten this place.

The military bases that were assigned to Pittsburgh back then have almost all moved away, leaving only one reserve training base belonging to the United States Air Force, which was re-established in the late Cold War, still here.

Ten thousand meters above the sky, several Decepticons are inside the Golden Eagle Armed Transport Ship, operating this spacecraft.

"Pittsburgh, we have arrived, prepare to drop the beasts!"

When the radar confirmed that they had arrived in Pittsburgh, the captain of this spacecraft suddenly issued an order on the communication channel.

In the cargo hold, the three Decepticon Technical Officers who were guarding the beasts still in a state of electromagnetic anesthesia quickly began to operate.

"High-altitude drop device installed, will automatically self-destruct in five minutes..."

"Preparing to disengage electromagnetic paralysis... state has been disengaged, Beast No. 1, 2, and 3 will wake up in thirty to forty seconds..."

"Open the cargo hold, prepare to deploy the beasts..."

Following a series of operations, the three iron monsters about to wake up were quickly and rudely ejected directly from the cargo hold.

Because these three iron monsters did not have the intelligence of ordinary Decepticons.

So in order to avoid them falling to their deaths without protection, the Decepticons installed a high-altitude drop device on them, which could ensure that they could land safely on the ground after falling from ten thousand meters above.

After throwing the three monsters down from high altitude, the Golden Eagle Armed Transport Ship did not stay in the United States for long.

After all, the Americans have been studying Megatron's body and even the AllSpark for over a hundred years, and in recent years, they have successively obtained no fewer than a hundred Decepticon corpses.

Although the current technological civilization on Earth still has a significant gap compared to the people of Cybertron.

But no one dares to say whether this country, which has already stepped half a foot into spacefaring civilization, still possesses some kind of ultimate weapon.

Precisely because of this, the Golden Eagle Armed Transport Ship soon left the United States.

However, several satellites operating in outer orbit have already been patiently observing Pittsburgh, preparing to transmit the first-hand beast destruction test data to the rear, so as to facilitate further improvements.

High above, the three iron monsters falling rapidly woke up quickly after the electromagnetic anesthesia was disengaged.

When they noticed that they had finally escaped the cage that had imprisoned them, although with their chaotic intelligence like wild beasts, they could not yet think of what had happened.

However, the freedom after breaking free from their bonds still made the three monsters successively let out roars of what could be called excitement.

"Boom!"

"Boom... boom..."

The three iron monsters, after struggling and roaring in mid-air for a while, finally landed safely on the ground under the protection of the high-altitude drop device.

The high-altitude drop device automatically detached from them at an altitude of several dozen meters, but this height was no longer enough to harm the three iron monsters.

Although they looked a bit disheveled as they smashed heavily onto the ground, the three beasts just shook their bodies blankly in the deep pits they had created, and then quickly fell into a state of anger due to their various past experiences.

"Roar..."

One monster let out a roar first, and a pair of scarlet electronic eyes on its head discovered some humans who had been attracted by the impact of the fall.

With its simple intelligence, it immediately judged these humans to be enemies.

So, roaring and howling, it quickly ran toward them.

And the running speed of this monster on flat ground could even easily reach 600 kilometers per hour, and its instantaneous burst could even break through 900 kilometers.

At a distance of less than a hundred meters, almost in an instant, it rushed in front of the humans who had finally realized something was wrong and were preparing to watch the excitement, amidst their screams.

The fighting style of this kind of iron monster is basically the same as that of a wild beast.

They are good at pouncing and biting, first pouncing on the opponent, and then biting the target to death with sharp fangs.

Facing humans whose body size is much smaller than theirs, they only need to rush over, lift their front claws, reveal claws like military knives, and wave them casually; basically, one or two humans would be decapitated or dismembered.

The places where the other two iron monsters fell were also at some distance from the other two monsters, but none were too far.

They all clearly felt the existence of the others, but in the past, in Hades's Laboratory, they had fought each other countless times and had never determined a winner.

Therefore, instinct told them that the others were not to be trifled with.

So after discovering that they had gained freedom, driven by the most primitive beastly instinct, they tacitly did not launch attacks on the remaining two monsters, but instead locked onto the humans who had been attracted by the huge commotion of the high-altitude impact.

Thus, a nightmarish killing feast erupted in this former world steel capital.
