Chapter 440: The Destroyer

Won!

Putting away the plasma cannon that was still emitting thick white smoke, the Pioneer looked expressionlessly at the 【Demolishor】 lying a hundred meters away, whose body was already scattered across the ground; the blue light in his eyes seemed to shine a bit brighter than before.

It was even simpler than expected!

Although he had simulated over a dozen possibilities in his mind before acting, he had never expected that this big guy, who looked like it would take some effort to deal with, would be finished off by him so easily.

Suppressing the excitement and joy in his heart, the Pioneer quickly withdrew his gaze from the 【Demolishor】 and turned to glance not far away.

Should one say the data in the Base database is indeed reliable? 【Sideways】 was already nowhere to be seen over there.

After watching his teammate fall into a disadvantageous position just now, this guy had actually sold out 【Demolishor】 and slipped away without the slightest hesitation!

He had no intention of chasing; the two high-explosive missiles he had fired at the beginning had indeed injured 【Sideways】, but those injuries could hardly be called serious, at most affecting the opponent's movement slightly.

Even if only three tires remained after transforming back into vehicle mode, a few minutes were enough for the desperate 【Sideways】 to flee thirty or forty kilometers, making it very difficult to catch up now.

He immediately withdrew his gaze and turned to look at 【Wheelie】, who was still pulling on the chain and biting it with his teeth, seemingly trying to break free.

This guy had been knocked senseless just now by a piece of 【Demolishor】's body debris that fell from the sky, and even his body was somewhat deformed.

However, despite constantly cursing, when he accidentally caught the look the Pioneer was giving him, he immediately acted like a frightened little animal, hurriedly dropped the chain he was pulling, and said urgently, "Hi hi... boss, I didn't mean anything else..."

Looking at him with a cold gaze, the Pioneer flipped his palm, and the detonator for the 【Controllable Electromagnetic Pulse Bomb】, which had disappeared before the battle, appeared in his hand once again.

This guy was very dishonest!

Although he had been fighting 【Demolishor】 just now, his internal reconnaissance system was running at full power, and any electromagnetic fluctuations within dozens of kilometers could not escape his monitoring.

Therefore, 【Wheelie】's little movements were naturally noticed by the Pioneer; this guy had taken advantage of the chaos to send a remote communication to someone, he didn't know who.

Clearly, it was no longer safe here.

"Must hurry and tell the Master everything that happened here!"

He immediately informed Sun Cheng of everything that had just happened here via remote communication.

After finishing, the Pioneer finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.

He knew the Master should arrive very soon, and by then, even if 【Soundwave】 or 【Starscream】 arrived in person, he would not need to worry about anything.

However, this place had been exposed and needed to be evacuated immediately.

But before that, 【Wheelie】 also had to be dealt with.

Thinking of this, his gaze toward 【Wheelie】 became even more unfriendly.

【Wheelie】 was startled by him; how could this little guy not know that his little trick had been exposed? His face looked a bit awkward, but realizing his current danger, he hurriedly begged for mercy: "... I surrender, I surrender."

Seeing the Pioneer remained unmoved, he pulled the chain and swung it, then continued: "Hey, big guy, I guess you must be a subordinate of Lord Frenzy, I know a lot about him and Lord Soundwave. Believe me, Lord Frenzy will definitely be satisfied!"

This clever guy had indeed guessed his identity after constant deliberation over the past few days.

The blue light in the Pioneer's eyes flickered; for a moment just now, he had indeed developed killing intent toward 【Wheelie】.

However, he couldn't help but feel a little curious.

How exactly did this guy guess his identity?

Suppressing the thought of finishing off 【Wheelie】, the Pioneer looked at him coldly and spat out a final warning: "... Rest assured, I won't kill you directly!"

The detonator in his hand disappeared again with a flick of his wrist.

However, he reached toward his waist once more.

In an instant, the plasma cannon he had just put away was taken out by him again.

The Pioneer gripped it and aimed the muzzle at 【Wheelie】.

【Wheelie】 was startled by him and begged for mercy repeatedly.

He had witnessed the entire battle here not long ago and naturally knew the power of this thing; even a Giant Decepticon like 【Demolishor】 couldn't handle it, and if it were him, he would probably go see the Primes after one shot.

Unfortunately, this time the Pioneer had no intention of paying him any mind.

Raise gun, aim, fire.

Instantly, a blue energy bullet as thin as a finger was shot from the plasma cannon and accurately hit 【Wheelie】.

The moment it hit, 【Wheelie】 let out a shrill scream, but unexpectedly, the energy mass did not destroy his body completely as imagined; instead, it exploded upon hitting 【Wheelie】's body, turning into a ball of electric arcs that enveloped him entirely.

The eerie electric arcs danced on his body for three to five seconds before disappearing completely.

After the arcs vanished, the Pioneer looked down at him again, and a faint, subtle curve seemed to appear at the corner of his mouth.

The plasma cannons designed and manufactured by the Base were not only single-function in the first generation, but also had a host of problems.

However, the learning and simulation capabilities of the Engineers were quite remarkable; the Improved Type II 65mm plasma cannon he was equipped with, besides the two major improvements of increased power and reduced energy consumption, also added a few small functions.

The plasma anesthetic bullet specifically for Mechanical Life was one of them.

To deal with a micro-Decepticon like 【Wheelie】, one plasma anesthetic bullet was enough to paralyze his Core for a period of time.

The reason the Pioneer hadn't used it before was the fear that it might hurt 【Wheelie】 or even take his life.

After all, the Base had used 【Brawl】 for testing, and one plasma anesthetic bullet was enough to stop the Core of a Decepticon Cannon Fodder Warrior like 【Brawl】 from working for over ten minutes.

【Wheelie】 was clearly inferior to 【Brawl】, so the plasma anesthetic bullet could potentially paralyze his Core for over ten days or even take his life completely.

The Pioneer knew the Master was very interested in intelligence within the Decepticon Legion, which was why he hadn't dealt a lethal blow.

However, this guy had dared to play tricks earlier, and the Pioneer was somewhat angry.

He could no longer be soft-hearted; although a living Decepticon had higher value, a dead one also had some value—at least reading the Memory Chip could still yield some intelligence.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance again at 【Demolishor】, who was still twitching not far away and hadn't completely breathed his last, then drew a sharp short blade emitting a cold glint and walked quickly toward him.
