Chapter 355: Crushing (Part II)

Something has happened in Severodvinsk!

Suddenly receiving a message sent by Pioneer, Sun Cheng's Core quickly decoded the content, and his mood sank abruptly; he looked toward the northwest with a ferocious expression.

After remaining silent for over ten seconds, he finally turned around to look at the few people who had been staying by his side and watching him cautiously, and after a moment of thought, he spoke solemnly.

"It is no longer a matter of whether it is certain or not, Prime Minister. Just now, I received a message transmitted from Russia; some Decepticons have attacked the shipyard where we are manufacturing nuclear submarines for Russia! This means that Megatron's vanguard force has likely already arrived on Earth."

According to the imagery transmitted by Pioneer, there should be four Decepticons who attacked Severodvinsk.

Although Sun Cheng had not yet figured out the reason for their surprise attack on Severodvinsk, he could not help but think toward the worst-case scenario.

There was no helping it; it could only be said that his ability to offend people in this world was too strong.

Not only had he offended the Autobots and the United States miserably, but even the high-ranking members of the Decepticon Legion, from Megatron to Starscream and then to Soundwave, the few who had already arrived on Earth had all been offended by him.

The only thing Sun Cheng could not be sure of now was who exactly sent the Decepticons that attacked him, and how the other party found Severodvinsk.

However, doubts were just doubts; as long as Starscream or Megatron did not arrive in person, he, having just changed into a New Body, had nothing to fear.

Russia was an important link in his plan, and unless it was an absolute last resort, Sun Cheng did not intend to give up this carefully selected good chess piece.

Upon hearing this, the faces of Chen Zhongyuan and the others turned ugly in unison.

Over the past month or so, they had heard Sun Cheng mention Megatron more than once, and even if they did not fully believe it, "brutal, bellicose dictator, conspirator" had already become their sole impression of Megatron.

Therefore, once they heard him suddenly mention that the Decepticon Legion's vanguard force might have already arrived on Earth, they could no longer sit still.

Russia was precisely the northern neighbor of the country they were standing in, and with the legendary interstellar-capable mobility of Mechanical Life, this distance really did not count for much.

Seeing that Chen Zhongyuan was somewhat impatient and wanted to ask more, the Prime Minister hurriedly gave a light cough to interrupt his discovery, and he himself asked with a frown: "Frenzy, you are also a member of the Decepticons; why would there still be Decepticons attacking your forces?"

Should one say that he was truly worthy of being one of the top decision-makers of a country? He hit the nail on the head as soon as he spoke.

Sun Cheng's heart skipped a beat, but fortunately, he had considered this question before, so he only hesitated slightly before answering: "... I don't know who leaked the news that the AllSpark was on Earth. When my soldiers and I arrived on Earth, not only had the Autobots already arrived here, but there was also another Decepticon search team that arrived here before us... Prime Minister, because of differences in philosophy, we have not only fought several battles with the Autobots, but the same goes for that other group of Decepticons. Both Decepticons and Autobots possess the ability for cross-galactic long-range emergency communication; if nothing goes wrong, I think the high-ranking members of the Decepticon Legion must have already listed us on their elimination list!"

He continued to spill out some half-true and half-false intelligence. Of course, whether the other party believed it or not was not important, because Sun Cheng knew very well that Megatron and his Decepticon Legion would never have the patience to explain things to a group of Carbon-based Life forms they looked down upon, so they would have to take the blame whether they wanted to or not.

Decepticons were absolutely not objects that could be cooperated with; the Autobots had already chosen to cooperate with the United States, and one could guess with their backside that Earth would soon become a new battlefield for the people of Cybertron.

If they did not want to watch helplessly as Earth was dragged into the war of these Mechanical Life forms, China and Russia had no other choice besides choosing him.

Sun Cheng touched upon the subject briefly and had no intention of continuing.

Although the AllSpark had already been destroyed, the Decepticons were currently searching the entire Earth for the Matrix of Leadership; they would sooner or later have friction with the China of this parallel world. By that time, the brutality and bellicosity of the Decepticons would provide the most perfect cover for all his lies.

Ultimately, he was still worried about Severodvinsk, so Sun Cheng, feeling somewhat irritable, immediately leaned over toward the Prime Minister and said to him seriously: "Prime Minister, because of an agreement with Russia, we only deployed a small number of guard robots to garrison the shipyard where we are building nuclear submarines for Russia. Therefore, I must rush to Russia immediately to lead my soldiers to fight a war to defend freedom!"

After finishing his words, without waiting for the Prime Minister and the others to answer, he immediately leaped into the air to a height of twenty or thirty meters, his body constantly emitting slight metallic friction sounds of "crack-pop" during the ascent.

Soon, a giant MQ-9 Reaper, looking like a magnified version several times over, was already hovering at an altitude of several tens of meters.

"I will finish handling the matter in Russia as soon as possible. There is still a lot of work waiting for me to arrange here at the hydropower station. Prime Minister, when we meet next time, we will need to have a good talk about the arrangements for my Decepticon Engineers to move into the hydropower station!"

Leaving behind this sentence, Sun Cheng's thoughts stirred, and driven by the more abundant and surging power of his New Body, he soon tilted his head and rushed into the high altitude of nearly ten thousand meters.

Just as he was preparing to stealthily fly directly to Russia, suddenly, the scanning radio waves emitted by his Core captured four fighter jets that looked somewhat familiar to him, speeding at an altitude of ten thousand meters.

"That is... Russia's Su-30 fighter jets..."

The Core quickly fed back the data of the four captured fighter jets. Sun Cheng gave a light hum in mid-air; he was not a stupid person after all, and he quickly reacted, realizing that these four Su-30 fighter jets did not belong to Russia, but belonged to the country beneath his feet—they were brand-new fighter jets that China had only introduced from Russia a few years ago.

And the reason why they appeared in Northwest Guangxi, or rather, were conducting tactical patrols over Tianwo County and the Longhan Hydropower Station, was self-evident.

"Are they guarding against me... what a cautious nation..."

Although a trace of slight displeasure arose, this superfluous emotion was instantly cast to the back of his mind by Sun Cheng.

No longer a naive youth, his current thinking pattern was also rapidly transforming into that of a qualified Leader.

Therefore, if it were him, such cautious guarding would clearly not be lacking in secret either.

He was just about to continue climbing to a higher airspace above thirty thousand meters and then quickly rush to Severodvinsk to support Pioneer.

Suddenly, Sun Cheng's thoughts stirred.

After changing into a New Body, every time he used his previous transformation data to change back into the Reaper Drone form, he always felt a slight sense of discomfort.

At first, he did not pay much attention to it, just assuming it was because he had not yet become familiar with it after changing into a New Body.

As a result, it was not until just now that Sun Cheng suddenly realized: "... So that's how it is; it was my negligence!"

The people of Cybertron possess the ability to perform self-transformation by scanning the forms of certain animals or even machines.

This ability is very magical; it is no exaggeration to say that it is precisely because of this transformation ability that the people of Cybertron have the confidence to confront any cosmic civilization.

However, for most people of Cybertron, they might only possess one transformation form in their entire lives.

This is not to say that after they possess one transformation form, they are unable to change into other forms, but because after a person of Cybertron transforms for the first time, all the bones and structures within the body have already been solidified according to the data of the scanned transformation form. Therefore, wanting to change to other forms not only requires changing all the bones and structures within the body again, but at the same time, it also consumes a significant amount of energy.

Therefore, whether it is Decepticons or Autobots, once a transformation form is determined, they rarely change it again, precisely because they do not have that much energy to consume. After all, most people of Cybertron might never have the opportunity to change into a New Body or even evolve in their entire lives.

But none of these were problems for Sun Cheng. Since he had already realized that the "Reaper Drone" form he had previously transformed into had begun to restrict and affect his state, he immediately had the idea of changing to a new form.

Just as he was thinking about how to choose a new transformation form, within these fleeting few seconds, he had already arrived above the Su-30 fighter jet formation patrolling over Tianwo County at a terrifying speed of over Mach 3.

The moment he was about to fly past this Su-30 fighter jet formation, Sun Cheng's heart suddenly stirred. Hundreds of azure scanning rays immediately shot out from his body, plunging straight into one of the Su-30 fighter jets, instantly recording its body structure and all equipment data completely.

The next moment, the Core had already calculated the best transformation and body combination method.

Accompanied by a burst of violent metallic friction sounds of "crack-pop," the Reaper Drone soon transformed into an almost identical Su-30 fighter jet right under the noses of the somewhat panicked Su-30 formation.

Then, he ignored the voices constantly warning him to land immediately via the radio channel, as well as the sudden change in the patrol formation's encirclement array.

The Core and the auxiliary drive system suddenly seemed to burst forth with even more surging power; his terrifying speed, which had already exceeded Mach 3, rapidly surged by nearly double in less than a second, quickly climbing to an altitude of forty thousand meters, and he sped toward the Severodvinsk naval port with all his might.

PS:

In view of the recent strict crackdown, another military novel of mine on another site was banned again just a few months after being unbanned; if nothing goes wrong, this time it will be a permanent ban. Therefore, the Chinese military aircraft originally set to be used will not appear, so as to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.

In the future, the protagonist's new fighter transformation forms will adopt Russian-style fighter jets!
