Chapter 416: Comprehensive Cooperation (Part 2)
It was indeed as Rush thought; Sun Cheng was very satisfied with their performance in Bolivia.
Bolivia was the second piece of South American territory he had seized, and the Base had actually successfully cultivated a Humanoid Decepticon like Mora Kotetier, so even while staying thousands of miles away in Severodvinsk, most of his attention had been drawn here.
"Well done!"
Sun Cheng nodded, but he did not offer any rewards.
Rush and the others had only just finished changing into their New Body not long ago, and how much of their combat power they could currently exert was still a big question; even he himself had been frantically honing his skills for the past few months, and even now, he dared not say he could push his body's full capabilities to the absolute limit.
If he himself was still like this, Sun Cheng did not believe that Pioneer, Rush, and the others could do better than him.
However, Rush was, after all, one of the old subordinates who had been with him the longest; Decepticons were always arrogant and selfish, and he never minded using the worst way of thinking to speculate about others.
Therefore, he also understood that if one had merit but was not rewarded, it was hard to say whether it would cause resentment.
After thinking for a moment, he soon had an idea.
"Where is Mora Kotetier? That Humanoid Decepticon..."
Rush was stunned by his question, but immediately replied: "Master, our relationship with the humans has not yet been exposed. Currently, the only human who knows his identity is Yuri. Mora generally does not come to the Sub-base; he stays in La Paz!"
"Is that so?"
Sun Cheng narrowed his eyes, his interest growing even stronger: "Did he request that himself?"
"Yes!" Rush replied.
"It seems his intelligence is not low!"
After this thought popped into his mind, he could no longer hold back and immediately ordered: "You should have an emergency contact channel; have him come here to see me immediately!"
"Yes!"
Rush would never defy his order; after he stood up and faced the southwest direction for a moment, Sun Cheng captured a cryptic communication wave being sent out.
After letting them wait for less than seven or eight minutes, the two felt a target moving rapidly through the bottom of the mountain ravine at a speed of no less than 90 kilometers per hour, and soon it arrived at the valley where the Sub-base was hidden.
"Mora greets Master, greets Lord Rush!"
Kneeling on one knee to salute before the two was a middle-aged man with brownish-red skin and obvious indigenous ancestry.
Rush had clearly already told him of Sun Cheng's identity just now, so Mora Kotetier did not hesitate at all; after rushing over, he walked straight to his front and knelt down.
"You are Mora Kotetier..."
Sun Cheng could not help but size up this middle-aged man who, from his appearance alone, was almost indistinguishable from a human, a glimmer of joy and amazement appearing in his eyes involuntarily.
Although he had seen this Humanoid Decepticon many times before from the images transmitted to him by Atlas and the others.
But after seeing him up close with his own eyes, Sun Cheng still could not help but be amazed by the technology of the planet Cybertron.
How advanced must the technology be to cultivate this kind of new life that not only possesses intelligence no weaker than a human's, but whose appearance also shows no difference from a human at all.
One must know, they are not intelligent robots in the sense of Earth civilization, but Mechanical Life that uses a Spark as a heart, energy as blood, and a Core as a brain, capable of thinking, fighting, and even management.
Mora Kotetier was made to feel extremely uncomfortable by his stare; the brown pupils he usually used to disguise his true identity had long since reverted to their original crimson red, and the level suppression of a Mechanical Life made him look very distressed, so he hurriedly replied: "Yes, Master, I am Mora Kotetier!"
Nodding, Sun Cheng withdrew his aggressive, scrutinizing gaze and beckoned to him.
"Come here, I am very interested in you; let me check your status!"
"Yes!"
His high intelligence made Mora Kotetier very clear that the so-called check was a domineering scan of everything about him, even including things in the deepest parts of his memory.
But he did not show any dissatisfaction, because the one in front of him was not only his master, but also the master of his creator.
He stood up and walked a little closer, and seeing that he seemed somewhat uneasy, Sun Cheng smiled and comforted him: "Rest assured, you are all my subordinates; as long as you do not make mistakes, I will not harm you."
He was in a good mood at the moment, otherwise he would definitely not have been so talkative.
However, having experienced nearly a year of slaughter in this alien world, the immaturity and hesitation of the original college student had long since completely faded away.
He immediately reached out and grabbed Mora Kotetier, lifting him up in front of himself.
"Do not resist!"
After giving the order, two azure beams of light immediately shot out from Sun Cheng's eyes, first scanning Mora back and forth for thirty or forty seconds before looking into his eyes.
Rush could not help but shiver on the side; even if he had not experienced it, the basic knowledge inherited in his Core told him that being subjected to someone peering into all one's secrets was not a comfortable thing.
Mora Kotetier's performance was the same; although he did not put up any resistance, his body still could not help but tremble continuously, looking just like a broken puppet.
The whole process lasted for a full four or five minutes before Sun Cheng withdrew his gaze; he gently placed the still-twitching Mora on the ground and closed his eyes to fully digest the information he had just read.
After a good while, he let out a soft breath, "So that's how it is!"
Glancing at Mora, who was struggling to stand up, Sun Cheng nodded at him: "You've worked hard. Don't be too anxious about the struggle for the interim government's cabinet and the future parliament. Your current task is to completely control all the military and police within Bolivia. That plan for 50,000 military and police is very good; I will subsequently order a batch of civilian supplies and engineering machinery from China, and the Base will soon send them to you. Pay attention to establishing your prestige as Minister of the Interior. As for how to do it specifically, go look at and refer to China more; this socialist country does very well in this regard!"
A flash of disappointment could not help but cross his mind, but his expression and tone were completely devoid of any fluctuation, so it was not noticed by Rush and the others.
The check on Mora just now made Sun Cheng finally understand why Atlas and the others were able to cultivate a Humanoid Decepticon so quickly; it turned out they had just spent a little more effort on the structure and appearance.
To put it bluntly, this guy was actually just a Decepticon Worker with a changed shell, only the structure was designed to look like a human, and it was covered with a layer of artificial skin.
