Chapter 158: Base No. 1's New Choice
Accompanied by a slight dizziness in his consciousness, Sun Cheng subconsciously shook his head fiercely, which allowed his consciousness to recover.
"Nublar Island..."
His gaze swept across the familiar yet unfamiliar open space in the canyon, and after lingering for a moment on the ghost corpse not far away, Sun Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Back again..."
He murmured softly, then immediately looked at Hanwei and Fuchou waiting by his side, especially Hanwei, which was currently hovering in the air not far away, the blue light in its pair of electronic eyes, which looked exactly like insect eyes, flickering incessantly.
Even though it did not speak, it was not difficult for Sun Cheng to see the confusion in Hanwei's expression at this moment!
The spaceship was gone!
A smile could not help but appear at the corner of his mouth; Sun Cheng walked to the ghost's corpse, squatted down and observed it for only a moment, but he did not rush to strip the equipment off the ghost, instead taking its corpse together into the Spherical Space, because he was indeed interested in the creature known as the Hunter.
A Decepticon is a Decepticon after all, a Mechanical Lifeform with intelligence not a whit inferior to humans.
Even though Hanwei and Fuchou had their self-awareness erased by him and had generated brand-new consciousnesses under his arrangement, although they looked slightly mechanical, their intelligence was not a bit lacking.
After Sun Cheng's consciousness returned to reality for a few dozen seconds, Hanwei finally reacted, flying in front of him in a slightly flustered manner, its cold mechanical voice seemingly carrying a hint of trembling, "Master... the spaceship is gone..."
"I know..."
Sun Cheng replied indifferently, looking at the Tyrannosaurus Rex in the distance that was still roaring in pain, somewhat astonished by the vitality of this prehistoric giant beast.
He had the intention to get closer to take a look, but never imagined that as soon as this thought emerged, he would see the Tyrannosaurus Rex, stimulated by the pain, suddenly lash out its powerful tail unconsciously; the immense force sent the mud on the ground splashing everywhere, and a stone mixed within it flew toward a large tree not far away like a bullet, instantly leaving a deep hole in the trunk.
"Hiss..."
Unable to help but gasp, Sun Cheng secretly rejoiced that he had not rushed to approach it, otherwise the consequences would have been truly unimaginable.
"Let's go..."
He had no intention of explaining in detail to Hanwei and Fuchou how the spaceship had disappeared or where it had gone, and this time, the sudden decision to return to reality, besides wrapping up his trip to Nublar Island, had another more important thing to do, which was to rebuild Base No. 1 in the real world.
That's right!
With the sudden cooperation between the Autobots and the United States government, targeting the Decepticons on Earth in the 【Transformers】 world, combined with the information Attack revealed to him about the Prime who might wake up at any time in the Moon Base, Sun Cheng had obtained a very bad answer: not only was the United States no longer safe in that world, but perhaps the entire Earth would fall into a new battlefield for the Mechanical Lifeforms of Cybertron in the future.
Therefore, after accidentally capturing the news that new Autobots had very likely arrived on Earth, he hesitated for a long time before making a new decision!
Since, for the sake of safety, he had to abandon his Base No. 1 located in Colorado, United States, why not take the opportunity to move Base No. 1 to the real world?
This would not only be safe, but also helpful to his career in reality!
Once this thought emerged, it immediately took root and sprouted in his heart; after a brief hesitation, Sun Cheng finally made the decision to temporarily return to the real world to rebuild Base No. 1 before the Autobots could find him.
He wanted to teach them a harsh lesson the next time he encountered the Autobots.
Sun Cheng did not explain how the spaceship had suddenly disappeared, which left Hanwei and Fuchou slightly confused.
However, the control programs he left in the cores of the two Decepticon Scouts were very perfect; seeing him issue the order to evacuate, the two Decepticons immediately complied decisively, one loyally flying to the front to scout the path, the other hiding around him to protect him, and the three did not follow the path they came by, but continued to walk toward the other side of the canyon.
"Master, an Infrared Locator has been detected ahead..."
Having only walked a hundred meters, the scouting Hanwei suddenly stopped, extending a metal joint and pointing at the red light flickering in the mud not far away, which was beeping incessantly.
Hearing this, Sun Cheng could not help but stop his footsteps.
"Do we need to turn back?" the taciturn Fuchou asked.
"No need..."
Sun Cheng replied flatly, but his eyes began to flicker.
He took off the Tactical Backpack on his back, reaching his hand into the bag as if fumbling, but in the next instant, a Handheld Briefcase that was almost bursting the tactical backpack was suddenly taken out by him from the Spherical Space.
This suddenly appearing briefcase immediately attracted the attention of Hanwei and Fuchou; after Sun Cheng took it out and placed it on the ground, he first fumbled around the handle of the briefcase for a while, found the button and pressed it, and soon a six-inch screen appeared on the front display panel of the briefcase.
On the screen, at the very top was a row of up to twenty-four blank spaces, and below was an arrangement list consisting of twenty-six English letters, ten Arabic numerals, and four punctuation marks; it was precisely the 24-bit Mixed Encoding System he had designed while in the other world.
After skillfully inputting the twenty-four-bit password on the screen, the Handheld Briefcase emitted a soft 'click', and the alloy case body, which had previously seemed welded together with almost no visible seams at the joints, suddenly revealed some gaps.
Sun Cheng lifted it gently, and after opening the case, he immediately saw the few items stored inside.
The items placed inside the briefcase were not many: a thin black bodysuit made of nanofiber material, a pair of Military Goggles, a wide and thick fifteen-centimeter Special Belt, and an Alloy Bracer over thirty centimeters long.
His gaze swept over the items in the briefcase one by one, and Sun Cheng soon looked at the alloy bracer, rolled up the cuff of his left sleeve, and soon picked it up and put it on his left arm.
The Alloy Bracer was not made entirely of metal; only the front was, while the back adopted a portion of nanofiber material, which could adjust the fit.
After putting it on and making slight adjustments to fix it firmly on his arm, Sun Cheng then flipped open the alloy cover on the front of the bracer, revealing a liquid crystal screen underneath.
"Long live the Decepticons!"
After suddenly shouting this inexplicably at the bracer, the liquid crystal screen on the bracer immediately lit up, and at the same time, a cold electronic voice sounded, "... Password confirmed correct, Exoskeleton Auxiliary Device activated."
"Scanning system activated, perform an electromagnetic scan within fifty meters around me!" Sun Cheng ordered.
"Scanning system starting... Infrared Locators detected nearby, shut them down?"
The cold electronic voice soon came from the Alloy Bracer again; needless to say, this was exactly what he wanted, so he immediately ordered without hesitation: "Shut down all Infrared Locators..."
After the order was issued, a special electromagnetic wave was soon sent out from the Alloy Bracer.
When he looked again at the spot where the Infrared Locator had just been discovered by Hanwei, there were no more red dots flickering; one by one, they had indeed all been shut down.
