Chapter 566: Dissolution of NEST

This wait lasted for over a dozen hours; as more and more intelligence was transmitted over, Sun Cheng's tense mood calmed slightly.

"Severodvinsk has been attacked by fourteen Decepticons... The local anti-aircraft system fired anti-aircraft missiles the moment they were detected, killing eight of them... Six still landed in Severodvinsk... The C2-C5 areas of the naval port suffered heavy damage... 134 combat robots lost... 221 other types of robots lost... All invaders have been killed..."

"Moscow has been attacked by five Decepticons... Current situation unknown..."

"Beidu has also been attacked by Decepticons... Number unknown... Losses unknown..."

"Brazil has been attacked by three Decepticons... Losses are heavy... One was killed by the armed forces of the drug lord Dukeer, the other two are still destroying everything everywhere..."

"Within the currently controlled area, no Decepticon intrusions have been discovered yet..."

Severodvinsk had indeed been attacked by Decepticons; the one stroke of luck in this misfortune was that all those who invaded North Port this time were Cannon Fodder-type Decepticons mass-produced by Starscream.

Since establishing the Sub-base at North Port, they had previously encountered two invasions by Starscream and Soundwave.

Afterward, Sun Cheng and his group had already reinforced the defenses of North Port several times.

With Thunder and Excavator only lightly injured, and at the cost of some mass-produced combat robots and a few electromagnetic bombs, they had completely wiped out the invading Decepticons; for Sun Cheng, this price was still acceptable.

Especially since the most important Base No. 2 had not yet been discovered; this point alone was enough.

As long as Base No. 2 was safe, Sun Cheng was confident he could recover the losses in other places in the shortest possible time.

Well, the prerequisite was to first deal with this batch of Decepticons who were invading Earth so wantonly.

Because of Soundwave, Sun Cheng and his group could not easily use satellites now; they were not sure if Soundwave was still monitoring Earth from outer space.

Soundwave's body was relatively special; in terms of combat power, he was only slightly stronger than some Advanced Warriors and much worse than other Commander-level Warriors.

However, Soundwave was one of the few Decepticons who could stay in outer space for a long time and move freely.

It was precisely by relying on this point that he found collecting intelligence on Earth, or even destroying the satellites launched by various human nations on Earth, as simple as breathing.

However, through the broadcast news channels of the Earthlings themselves, Sun Cheng still collected quite a bit of useful intelligence.

Although the five major rogue states of the United Nations were the key targets of this wave of Decepticon attacks, they were not the only five countries invaded.

Soundwave and his group had clearly collected enough intelligence; this wave of wanton invasion targeted nearly twenty countries with the most prosperous economies, strongest military power, and largest populations on Earth.

The United States was the victim with the heaviest casualties; Starscream, The Fallen, and Barricade all descended upon the North Atlantic together, heading straight for the U. S. Second Fleet that was patrolling the North Atlantic waters at the time.

Clearly, the Second Fleet, which had not felt the atmosphere of war for too long since the end of the Cold War, suffered heavy damage on the spot.

Twenty-one warships, including the aircraft carrier Roosevelt, and as many as seven thousand U. S. soldiers were completely wiped out; the wreckage of the warships and the corpses of the soldiers drifted and covered a full three thousand square kilometers of sea area.

Soundwave clearly intended to use this to intimidate the United States, the strongest country on Earth, so he did not stop the satellites of various countries on Earth from filming when they flew over this area.

Consequently, not long after the Second Fleet was attacked, many countries' satellites discovered and filmed this ocean that was still burning.

"Moscow has not contacted us yet... Prepare for the worst-case scenario where the authorities might defect to the Decepticon Legion camp... Arrange for a submarine to wait at North Port in advance, ready to evacuate at any time... Take all resources that can be taken, and install explosives on the equipment that cannot be taken; once the situation changes, strive to leave nothing for the Russians..."

After making the arrangements, Sun Cheng patiently continued to lurk within Africa and waited.

He knew that the battlefield for the final battle would definitely be within Africa, with a very high probability of it being in Egypt.

Waiting here in advance was definitely the right move.

In the public broadcast to all countries on Earth, The Fallen mentioned the American boy, Sam.

Sun Cheng pondered that Sam must have had some other fortuitous encounter.

As for what that encounter was, he could roughly guess a few things.

"Truly a lucky one; that AllSpark Fragment hiding the 【Matrix of Leadership】 must be the one Sam obtained!"

During the Battle of Las Vegas, Sun Cheng had also obtained a few AllSpark Fragments; for over a year, he had been studying them and had gained some understanding of them.

The AllSpark was called a holy relic by both Decepticons and Autobots, and it was not just because it was a huge energy source.

There was another important reason, which was that the AllSpark could store information—massive amounts of information.

As for why it could store information, Sun Cheng did not know.

He had not obtained a complete AllSpark, and he only had a few small fragments, so the information obtained from studying them was also very limited.

The fragment obtained by the American boy Sam likely contained information about the location of the 【Matrix of Leadership】; although it was unclear how he read the information inside, judging from the fact that Sam was being targeted by The Fallen, Sun Cheng felt his guess was highly probable.

It looked like The Fallen's injuries had not yet healed; well, Sun Cheng was not sure who had severely injured him, forcing this ancestor to sleep for so many years.

However, with his strength, to fully recover, only holy relics like the 【AllSpark】 and the 【Matrix of Leadership】 could do it.

After patiently staying in Africa for only one day, Sun Cheng received a piece of intelligence.

"The anti-Autobot faction in the U. S. Congress has won a complete victory and has just passed a bill to ban NEST..."

This heavyweight news was transmitted by an intelligence officer Sun Cheng had developed within the United States.

That person worked inside the intelligence organization CIA and was an insider developed with Yuri's help.

Without a doubt, this was extremely important intelligence.

Sent to Sun Cheng's hands via the dark web along with it were the detailed debate records of the meeting.

On it, the fundamental change in the U. S. high-level attitude toward Autobots and Decepticons was clearly reflected.

"... The United States should not participate in the internal conflict between two alien races... The government's previous wrong decisions have already cost thousands of elite U. S. soldiers their lives... For this, we have even lost a large amount of equipment and weapons..."

"To date, the United States has not reaped a single bit of benefit from its cooperation with the Autobots. Instead, we have been paying the bill for the aliens' war!"

"... Either make the Autobots obey our orders and hand over their technology... Or make them get out of Earth..."
