Chapter 573: Fierce Battle in the Gobi 3 (Seeking Subscriptions)

Sun Cheng landed slowly on the ground; the moment he touched down, he was targeted by two Decepticon Warriors.

One of them roared, kicked away a melee-tank type Combat Robot surrounding him, and charged toward him while brandishing a mace.

The other one hacked down a Decepticon that had been entangling him, but before he could run a few steps, he was entangled by two heavy-assault type Combat Robots.

Sun Cheng glanced at the Prowl not far away; he knew this was the result of Prowl's interference.

However, he hadn't had his fill from the previous battle with Charger.

He immediately reached behind his waist, summoned his Plasma Cannon, and fired a shot directly at the charging Decepticon Warrior.

The ejected energy bullet hit his chest precisely, instantly detonating his Spark, causing the light in that Decepticon Warrior's eyes to dim as he fell to the ground.

"Don't worry about me, go help Thunder, and take care of Surfboard first..."

This body of Sun Cheng's was designed entirely according to the combat power of an Autobot or Decepticon Commander-level unit.

Although limited by technology and other factors, the final product's combat power might be inferior to a Commander, but its advantage over an Advanced Warrior was still very obvious.

He had previously conducted combat training with Prowl, Thunder, and Scavenger respectively; if he went all out, he could take down any one of them within two minutes, and even if the three of them joined forces, he could take them all down within five minutes.

This was the dominance brought by a powerful body, just like the powerful Autobot of the past—Jazz, who, when facing Megatron, couldn't even last a minute before his Spark was destroyed and his body was torn in two.

After Prowl received the order, he joined the battle between Thunder and Surfboard.

Strictly speaking, Thunder's new body was not inferior to Surfboard's.

However, he had only just been awakened not long ago, and much of his memory had been replaced, so his combat techniques and instincts were significantly worse than during his Blackout period; therefore, after facing Surfboard, he fell into a disadvantage before long.

Fortunately, combat experience can be re-accumulated through constant training and actual combat.

Although Thunder fell into a disadvantage soon after facing Surfboard.

But he only suffered a small loss; after Prowl intervened, Surfboard, who had originally held the upper hand, quickly fell into a disadvantage under their combined efforts.

"Screech!"

With a swing of his Ship-Slaying Blade, the Decepticon who had already finished off two heavy-assault type Combat Robots also charged at Sun Cheng, but unfortunately, he was slashed by his blade and instantly split in two.

This kind of Cannon Fodder warrior cultivated by Starscream could rely on human-wave tactics to exhaust a bunch of Advanced Warriors on the battlefield.

It just so happened they encountered Sun Cheng, because the Engineers under him were unable to make further progress in cultivating Decepticons, they had to tilt more energy and resources toward Combat Robots.

Since long ago, Base No. 2 had been manufacturing Combat Robots in batches on a large scale.

In terms of individual combat power, they might be far inferior to Decepticon Warriors, but once they formed a scale, they might not be presentable against Advanced Warriors, but they were already capable of dealing with these Cannon Fodder warriors.

Kicking away the corpse of the Decepticon Warrior that had been cut in two, Sun Cheng looked toward the battlefield with all his might.

On this Gobi battlefield covering hundreds of thousands of square meters, the battle situation was nearing its end.

The melee-tank type Combat Robots that Sun Cheng and his team had invested the most in were all torn to pieces by the Decepticons.

The heavy-assault type Combat Robots, second only to them, had also suffered heavy losses, with less than twenty remaining.

However, the Decepticons had also paid a heavy price, with more than a dozen taken out by long-range sniper-type Combat Robots; currently, there were less than ten Decepticons still active on the battlefield.

"Hmm?"

Noticing Prowl suddenly seem dazed, Surfboard, who had been suppressed for a long time, raised his hand and fired a rifle grenade, sending him flying.

Sun Cheng gave a soft exclamation and charged toward Surfboard with his blade.

"Master, there is another Decepticon!"

Prowl suddenly spoke, but his gaze was directed toward a direction several kilometers away.

The long-range sniper-type Combat Robots deployed in the highland area had lost more than three in an instant just now.

One of the Combat Robots transmitted the image captured by its electronic eye to Prowl as it fell; it was a ferocious metal Giant Scorpion Monster that had suddenly burst out from underground.

"A giant scorpion ambushed the snipers over there!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Cheng immediately thought of the Giant Scorpion Monster—Scorponok.

Scorponok was a Decepticon whose appearance was extremely similar to a metal giant scorpion; in Blackout's memory, this terrifying big guy had always been his partner.

Two equally cold and ruthless guys had together carried out multiple massacres of Autobots and completed many Tasks.

During the Battle of Las Vegas, Sun Cheng had forgotten about this guy because he didn't see Scorponok.

Unexpectedly, a year later, they had actually met again here in Africa.

"Troublesome guy!"

Sun Cheng raised his hand and fired a Plasma Cannon, blowing up the head of a Decepticon Warrior, while simultaneously pulling out an Electromagnetic Grenade, blowing all the Decepticons and Combat Robots still in the fray into the air.

He then ignored Surfboard and rushed toward the place where Scorponok had appeared.

Scorponok's giant pincers, head, and tail could all transform into drills, so it could travel freely underground.

Africa had the most soft sandy soil, and it would be very troublesome if it targeted him.

Sun Cheng had once seen Blackout's memory; in his memory, Scorponok, who was considered by many Decepticons to be just a cold and ruthless killing machine, was unexpectedly an "intellectual" who read widely.

It was knowledge that gave the Giant Scorpion Monster infinite patience to calmly execute those "long-term tasks of fishing for big fish."

In some past tasks with Blackout, Scorponok could hide underground for days or even dozens of days, patiently waiting for its target to reveal a flaw due to carelessness before suddenly launching an attack.

It was most adept at playing hide-and-seek with opponents and had once created a record of being trapped in a valley by a team of Autobot warriors, where it not only evaded their tracking and inspection but also successfully counter-killed two of them as it escaped.

Once Sun Cheng had identified such a difficult opponent, he was definitely going to finish it off if possible.

But unfortunately, when he arrived at the highland area two or three kilometers away, what he saw was more than a dozen long-range sniper-type Combat Robots lying on the ground, all dismantled.

Under the full-power scan of the early warning system, although Sun Cheng could capture that a Decepticon was lurking dozens of meters deep under his feet, neither the Plasma Cannon he was equipped with nor his other weapons could reach that deep.

"Damn it!"

Cursing in a cold voice, Sun Cheng also had no way to deal with this Giant Scorpion Monster.

The opponent was clearly very wary of him; the moment he arrived, it burrowed deep underground, not daring to show its face or even launch a sneak attack.

However, with a thought, Sun Cheng had an idea.
