Chapter 39: Seeing Soundwave

Upon seeing that the attacker was Laserbeak, Sun Cheng only let his brain spin rapidly for a moment before he quite simply retracted the two machine guns on his forelimbs, proactively adopting an attitude of non-resistance.

"Laserbeak, why are you attacking me suddenly... You seem to have some misunderstandings about me..."

While dodging his fire, Sun Cheng did not forget to proactively call out to him.

Fight, he definitely could not beat Laserbeak.

Although he had changed into a New Body, Sun Cheng did not become blindly arrogant because of it.

He was very clear that his current combat power improvement was limited; he had added two machine guns, but his total bullet reserve was only four hundred rounds. Not to mention whether these standard bullets, clearly produced by humans, could cause damage to Laserbeak's body, that amount alone was definitely not enough for him to fight a battle with Laserbeak.

As for running away, it was not that Sun Cheng hadn't considered it, but the thought was dismissed by him as soon as it popped up.

Laserbeak possessed excellent flight speed; although not comparable to Starscream and the Aerial Team, he was also a Decepticon who excelled in speed. If he flew at full power, he could completely complete a round trip from Earth to the Moon within a dozen days.

Sun Cheng was very clear that he was being held firmly in check by Laserbeak. Since he could neither beat him nor run away, he could only think of another way.

Clearly, Soundwave was not completely unprepared for the resurrected Laserbeak. Although Sun Cheng was not sure if he was like Frenzy, whose Memory Chip had been tampered with, at least judging from the combat power Laserbeak displayed, it definitely shouldn't be just this little.

"Da-da-da..."

The two machine guns under his abdomen swept back and forth at Sun Cheng for a good while. Perhaps finally realizing that the other party had no intention of fighting back, Laserbeak stopped firing resentfully.

Still looking down at him from a high position, circling in the air for a good while, Sun Cheng then heard his sharp electronic voice ring out: "Frenzy, you dare to betray Master Soundwave!"

"I don't know how you reached this conclusion, Laserbeak!" Sun Cheng naturally denied it flatly. "In previous operations, I discovered that my combat power was seriously insufficient, no longer enough to complete the Task assigned by Lord Soundwave. It just so happened that Onslaught is good at Enhancement, so I just mentioned it casually. If it weren't for the fact that Onslaught happened to have something he needed help with, this matter would have been impossible to carry out..."

Cunning as Laserbeak was, he naturally would not easily believe his words. Sure enough, as soon as the next sentence came out, it immediately intimidated Sun Cheng.

"Oh, so that's how it is, you still have the guts to go with me to see Master Soundwave..."

Upon hearing this, Sun Cheng fell into a brief silence.

To tell the truth, letting him go see Soundwave now, Sun Cheng really felt a bit terrified in his heart.

A week ago, Laserbeak had mentioned that Soundwave was coming to Earth, but he hadn't come to find him since then, which forced Sun Cheng to think more about other possibilities.

After all, he was very clear that Starscream had long ago used his hand to set a trap for Soundwave.

A few days ago, while accompanying Onslaught to search for metal, Sun Cheng had specifically paid attention to recent news while invading the internet.

What he didn't expect was that the incident of the Renfulan Base being invaded was completely covered up by the United States government. As for the Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, because the commotion caused by him blowing up an armory was too great to be covered up, the United States government still brought out the excuse that a certain U. S. soldier's improper operation caused an explosion in an armory within the base.

Since someone was taking the blame for him, he was actually quite happy.

However, besides that, Sun Cheng also noticed some content that made him very uneasy.

Some online comments from Tucson that he paid special attention to reflected that two days after the attack incident broke out, many locals had heard explosions and roaring sounds, and similar complaints soon disappeared from the internet.

Although Sun Cheng could not be sure yet whether the U. S. military followed the clues to find Starscream's Base and had a big fight with him.

Or perhaps Soundwave fell into a trap and was beaten up by Starscream.

Anyway, he really did not want to see Soundwave right now!

However, after considering for a moment, he still agreed, "No problem, as long as Lord Soundwave needs me, I will be there whenever called!"

Anyway, with Laserbeak sticking to him, he couldn't leave even if he wanted to. Sun Cheng simply went all out; he wanted to gamble once more. Perhaps Soundwave didn't even know about the dirty business between him and Starscream right now.

Laserbeak stared fixedly at Sun Cheng, looking at him for a good while, before saying with his sharp electronic voice: "Fine, follow me to see Lord Soundwave!"

After speaking, Laserbeak dove downward and grabbed him.

Sun Cheng noticed that the two machine guns under his abdomen were locked onto him the whole time; it looked like if he made even the slightest movement, he would be riddled with holes by Laserbeak.

However, he clearly would not give the other party this opportunity. Being grabbed honestly, he then saw Laserbeak suddenly flap his wings and fly toward the distance at an extremely astonishing speed.

This flight lasted for three or four hours. Because Laserbeak kept circling and suddenly adjusted his flight direction during the flight, Sun Cheng, who was not very familiar with the terrain of the United States to begin with, was soon made a bit confused and could only give up on vaguely locating his current position.

However, Laserbeak's excessive alertness actually made some thoughts emerge in his heart. Sun Cheng could not be sure yet; he needed to see Soundwave in person before he could verify whether his guess was correct.

Finally, after several hours of long-distance flight, seeing that there were only rolling mountains below, Laserbeak finally began to lower his speed and soon brought Sun Cheng with him to land in a deep Canyon somewhere among the mountains.

"Master, I have brought Frenzy!"

When they were still more than ten meters from the ground, Laserbeak suddenly reported to somewhere in the Canyon, and then threw Sun Cheng down from mid-air.

Perhaps because he had received similar treatment too many times recently, Sun Cheng, who was already accustomed to it, did not feel panicked at all after being thrown out. However, just as he was about to adjust his posture to land on the ground smoothly, a wave of light suddenly flashed on the open space below him, and then a giant mechanical arm suddenly reached out from that light wave and grabbed him in its palm.

"Well done, Laserbeak!"

Accompanied by a low electronic voice, the flashing light wave fluctuated violently.

Three or five seconds later, Sun Cheng, who only felt his whole body tighten, looked up and saw a mechanical Warrior covered in various terrifying scars appear before him—it was none other than Soundwave.
