Chapter 557: New Zuojie Fa'an (Part II)

At the mention of supplies, Bumblebee, who had originally wanted to say something more, immediately lowered his head.

The severe shortage of supplies for the Autobots was by no means a secret.

Back when Optimus Prime reached a cooperation agreement with the United States government to jointly strike against the Decepticons, he had keenly sensed the greed the United States government displayed toward the technology of the planet Cybertron.

In order to secure as much initiative in the cooperation as possible, they did not accept a single bit of aid from the United States regarding supplies.

One must know that the wars of the Cybertronians are extremely resource-intensive, involving slaughter between giant mechanical Warriors standing several meters or even over ten meters tall, weighing several tons or even tens of tons.

Even in a small battle involving three or five Decepticons and Autobots that lasts for half an hour, the energy consumed alone, if converted into electricity, would be enough to power a small county of over a hundred thousand people for several days or even longer.

The vast majority of Autobots and Decepticons prefer close-quarters combat; during such fights, sustaining some damage, having an arm severed, or leaving dozens of scars on their bodies is a common occurrence.

And when performing repairs after a battle, besides consuming a large amount of energy from their internal Spark, they also need to use various alloys smelted from metal that match their bodies to repair the wounds.

Optimus Prime was unwilling to be controlled by others; ever since he began cooperating with the United States government to strike against the Decepticons, all the energy and other supplies they consumed were transported from outside the Solar System by Autobots he had dispatched separately.

After the Decepticon Legion fully occupied the planet Cybertron, the Autobots often faced shortages just trying to supply the Guerrillas scattered across the planet.

As Optimus Prime led his team to launch a campaign to encircle and suppress the Decepticons on Earth, the supply gap for the Autobots grew larger and larger.

So much so that within the Autobots, voices of dissatisfaction toward their new Leader, Optimus Prime, began to gradually emerge.

Optimus Prime was silent for a moment before slowly nodding.

"You are right!"

Although the Autobots are not the Decepticon Legion, once voices of opposition appear internally, the strength of the Autobots can no longer be concentrated in one place either.

"Eliminating the Decepticons is our goal to begin with," Optimus Prime quickly made a decision, "We can cooperate with Frenzy to a limited extent, but we must also be wary of them; Earth belongs to humans, not to us!"

……

"Earth belongs to humans?"

The Soli Federal Republic, a land of chaos, on a piece of wasteland that did not look particularly conspicuous, located in the southwest near Kenya.

Sun Cheng landed here and looked at an underground entrance not far away, a cold sneer hanging on the corner of his mouth.

He was mocking the hypocrisy of Optimus Prime, or rather, the Autobots; clearly, every single one of them wished they could treat Earth as their second home.

Otherwise, did they really think those Autobots would travel tens of millions of light-years, from a distant planet in the galaxy, to rush to Earth one after another?

Was it really the humanitarian aid touted by the people of Earth?

At the very least, Sun Cheng did not believe it!

The underground entrance was built on an inconspicuous plain in the southwest of Soli, about five meters long and ten meters wide, and was a passage sloping downward.

There was no hard soil, rock, or hills nearby, only low, sparse shrubs.

However, Sun Cheng had people prepare camouflage nets in the vicinity in advance, so even if satellites took pictures from high altitude, they basically could not discover the secret here.

This was enough, because this underground structure was not prepared for himself in the first place.

"Master, the Warehouse has been organized!"

Sun Cheng had just walked a short distance inside along the entrance when he was discovered by the Pioneer stationed there.

He nodded, walked along a passage nearly thirty meters long, about five meters high and ten meters wide, and after reaching the end, a seemingly very large space instantly appeared in Sun Cheng's field of vision.

This was a huge rectangular space, two hundred meters in both length and width, and about twenty meters high.

The underground structure was built using high-strength concrete, with walls one meter thick, and it was also mixed with some steel bars, though they were all construction-grade steel bars purchased casually in China.

It was located about ten meters below the ground, and there were sixteen giant support pillars inside the building; it would be difficult for ordinary shells to destroy this place, but since it was not built with much care after all, some large Bunker-busting Missiles created by humans could still easily destroy it.

This underground structure, codenamed 'Warehouse', was the reserve land Sun Cheng had prepared for the Autobots, and it was also the place where he would transfer supplies to the Autobots.

This underground structure was built under the supervision of the Pioneer over the past two days.

Sun Cheng had brought a total of twenty groups, totaling 160 robots with various functions, and handed them over to him to command.

The Pioneer's mind was far more delicate and rational than the average Decepticon; in Severodvinsk, he had already commanded a much larger number of robots to carry out massive siege operations.

Therefore, just building an underground structure with low 'requirements' was something his commanded robots completed in two days with sufficient material support.

Quick-drying cement was used to build the 'Warehouse', and coupled with the fact that it was not deep from the ground and the temperature in Soli was also very high, the ground and walls had already completely solidified.

Sun Cheng walked around inside the 'Warehouse' and was generally satisfied.

This was the location of the power base he had carefully selected for the Autobots; most areas in Africa are sparsely populated, the harsh environments like deserts do not have much impact on Cybertronians, there are no powerful nations like the United States here, and there are various rich resources and minerals within Africa.

If it weren't for the fact that he hadn't yet digested South America, Sun Cheng would actually have had ideas about Africa long ago.

As for whether the Autobots would be tempted and bite into this big piece of fat he offered?

Sun Cheng believed in human nature!

Optimus Prime might be able to hold back, but it is definitely not the case that every Autobot who was driven out of the planet Cybertron and lost their home could resist the temptation of moving to a beautiful planet like Earth that is suitable for life.

Arriving at a corner of the Warehouse, he waved his hand, and the understanding Pioneer consciously retreated a distance.

Looking at the cleared space in front of him, blue light flickered in Sun Cheng's eyes, while his will quietly communicated with the Spherical Space.

Soon, one huge shipping container after another quickly appeared in the Warehouse.

In a short while, they had nearly filled the corner of the Warehouse he had chosen.

"That's about enough!"

Resisting the reluctance in his heart, Sun Cheng looked at the containers in front of him filled with various supplies, his mind turning rapidly.

Ever since he possessed the Frenzy Body, relying on its powerful information processing capabilities, he had accessed the internet many times to download various books and materials about Earth from the 【Transformers Universe】.

Digesting these books and materials in his spare time became one of his few pastimes.

And historical books, undoubtedly, allowed Sun Cheng to learn many things.

For example, the 'Zuojie Fa'an' implemented by the United States during World War II.
