Chapter 435: Changes in the Base

"Hey..."

"Hey..."

"Hey, big guy. I'm talking to you..."

Pathfinder watched the miniature Decepticon, who was tethered to him by a metal chain and had been chattering incessantly in front of him, quietly, expressionlessly, and without saying a word.

【Wheelie】 had long since confirmed his Decepticon identity, and the contact over the past two days had also made this clever little guy feel that Pathfinder was different from Barricade and the others, so his courage had gradually begun to grow.

Because the other end of the chain was gripped tightly in Pathfinder's hand, 【Wheelie】 could only pace back and forth within two meters of him.

This prisoner-like treatment was naturally unacceptable to him, and 【Wheelie】 kept tugging at the chain tethered to his body, even attempting to bite through it.

Unfortunately, although the metal chain locking him was merely the most common carbon steel on Earth, it was not something a miniature Decepticon like him, who was not skilled in combat, could break free from.

Moreover, 【Wheelie】 did not dare to make any large movements.

The chain tethered to his leg was also connected to a metal sphere, and this thing was the truly lethal item; it was a 【Controllable Electromagnetic Pulse Bomb】, and once detonated, the intense electromagnetic pulse could completely destroy him in an instant.

It was precisely because of its existence that 【Wheelie】 had been following obediently by Pathfinder's side since being captured, not daring to make any small moves.

Don't let the fact that this guy is just a miniature Decepticon fool you; his intelligence was stronger than, not weaker than, many Advanced Warriors within the Decepticon Legion.

Otherwise, Soundwave would not have sent him to cooperate with Barricade to get that piece of 【AllSpark】 fragment from the human boy Sam's house.

Grasping a heavy lead box in one hand and holding a controller in the other, Pathfinder only spoke unhurriedly after watching 【Wheelie】 until he felt thoroughly uncomfortable: "My patience is limited, little guy..."

His sharp, gleaming fingertips lightly scraped across the top of the lead box, the harsh screeching sound making his calm voice sound exceptionally chilling.

Having been by Sun Cheng's side for so long, perhaps even Pathfinder himself had not realized how deeply he had been influenced by the other party.

Not only in his way of thinking and style, but even in every action and movement, he was trying his best to imitate him.

【Wheelie】 shuddered all over from the harsh sound of his fingertips rubbing against the top of the lead box; he looked with some fear at Pathfinder, whose expression remained calm, but his alertness told him that the other party was not joking—he really could do it.

"Hey, big guy... calm down, that thing can kill!"

【Wheelie】 sheepishly tugged at the chain tethered to his thigh, causing the 【Controllable Electromagnetic Pulse Bomb】 attached to it to move as well, the metal casing clashing against the chain and emitting a crisp metallic clanging sound.

Pathfinder's expression remained indifferent; as Sun Cheng's absolute confidant, the New Body he had obtained had been specially reinforced against electromagnetic interference. Although an electromagnetic pulse bomb of this power could still affect him, it could not be considered a heavy blow.

However, 【Wheelie】 was different, and his words were indeed correct; this 【Controllable Electromagnetic Pulse Bomb】 could truly claim his life.

The surroundings briefly fell into a dead silence; apart from the sound of Pathfinder's fingertips occasionally sliding lightly over the lid of the 【Lead Box】, nothing else could be heard.

But 【Wheelie】 was clearly not one to stay quiet; although Pathfinder's threat had made him fearful for a while, this clever guy had still analyzed some things from the other party's attitude and behavior toward him over the past few days.

"Hey, buddy..."

【Wheelie】 carefully hugged the 【Controllable Electromagnetic Pulse Bomb】 tethered to the chain and came before Pathfinder, taking the initiative to ask: "You are also a member of the Decepticons, why interfere with my mission... The master ordered me to go with Barricade to the humans to get the 【AllSpark】 fragment to re-awaken Lord Megatron... If the mission fails, no one can bear the consequences!"

The Pioneer watched him gesticulating wildly, his hand movements pausing.

This 【Wheelie】 was undoubtedly a clever Decepticon; in the few days he had been caught, he had heard the same words countless times.

He understood what the other party meant; 【Wheelie】 exposing his identity so bluntly was naturally not a sign of being brainless. He might not know his own identity, but he knew very well what Megatron meant to the entire Decepticon Legion!

Just like the previous answer, the Pioneer didn't think much of it, directly grabbing the heavy lead box and smashing it toward 【Wheelie】.

The result was naturally that he didn't hit the other party; after all, he was just putting on a show, and having been smashed at a dozen times over the past few days, this guy had learned his lesson. As soon as he saw his hand move, he nimbly hugged the 【Controllable Electromagnetic Pulse Bomb】 and ran to the back.

"Hehe..." 【Wheelie】 waved one hand angrily, "Do you want to kill me?"

"Shut up!"

The Pioneer swept a cold glance at him, finally annoyed enough to generate some anger.

Staring coldly at 【Wheelie】, he knew he should give this increasingly bold little guy a warning: "Although the master wants to see you, he didn't explicitly require whether you are alive or dead! If you've really lived enough, I can satisfy your wish right now and send you to meet the Primes!"

【Send you to meet the Primes】 was a curse that had circulated on Cybertron for countless years.

The vast majority of Cybertronians did not know who the 【Primes】 were, and the Pioneer was the same.

He only vaguely understood from the depths of his inherited memory after Awakening that this was an ancient existence that might have been born in an ancient era of Cybertron, or perhaps simply a figure from ancient mythology.

Clearly, such an existence had long since vanished under the power of time, so the meaning of saying 【Send you to meet the Primes】 was already very blunt.

Within his cold eyes, a murderous intent seemed to arise.

【Wheelie】 was able to make a name for himself in the Decepticon Legion as a miniature Decepticon and gain the trust of Soundwave, so his discernment was naturally there.

In an instant, he gave a sheepish smile, "OK, OK... you're the boss..."

Silence once again enveloped the area where they were, lasting for a full few hours.

【Wheelie】's eyes kept rolling, thinking about the Pioneer's identity and how to escape from him.

And the Pioneer watched him coldly, one hand never leaving that heavy 【Lead Box】.

This 【Lead Box】 was naturally used to place the 【AllSpark】 fragment he had obtained from the home of the human boy Sam; lead had a relatively high density and possessed a certain ability to block the energy radiation of the 【AllSpark】 fragment from penetrating.

Coupled with the fact that it was easy to obtain, the Pioneer had made a 【Lead Box】 to temporarily place that 【AllSpark】 fragment.

The effect of this method was actually not very good, because the energy radiation emitted by the 【AllSpark】 was like a bonfire lit in the dark night to a Mechanical Life.

Even though the fragment from the human boy Sam's house had not received effective energy replenishment in the past year, and had been placed in the 【Lead Box】 he had specially prepared.

But the Pioneer still felt that the energy, which had a fatal attraction to him, was constantly penetrating the lead box and silently influencing himself and 【Wheelie】.

The bodies of the two Decepticons were undergoing some changes that were almost impossible to detect.

Until!

Unwelcome guests arrived!
