Chapter 62: Meeting Blackout

Following the captured frequency all the way to Houston, Sun Cheng was slightly surprised after flying close to and locking onto the target he had discovered.

"A yellow sports car?"

That familiar appearance made him quickly think of the fleeting glimpse he had once caught when supporting Bonecrusher alongside Onslaught, Laserbeak, and the others.

In order to compare him with some Autobot data saved in his memory, Sun Cheng could not help but lower his flight speed to less than a hundred meters from the ground.

Yet unexpectedly, he had only just lowered his flight altitude a little.

On the ground, that Autobot, whom Sun Cheng had originally assumed had not yet discovered him, suddenly transformed back into human form while driving at high speed, raised his hand to lift a small laser cannon, and fired a shot directly at him.

This sudden shot truly caught Sun Cheng off guard.

It was fortunate that his core functions were still active; after sensing the crisis, he subconsciously accelerated suddenly, but he still failed to avoid it completely, was hit in one wing by that sudden shot, and fell after spinning a few times in the air.

"Damn it!"

After reacting, Sun Cheng could not help but feel annoyed in his heart.

After the core processed for a while, it finally managed to dig up the other party's intelligence from the depths of his memory.

"Bumblebee? An elite Warrior of the Autobots!"

The Autobot who ambushed him was named Bumblebee. According to Frenzy's memory data, this guy was an elite Warrior of the Autobots, and his strength was extremely powerful. It was likely that even if Barricade and Bonecrusher came, they might not be able to handle him; it was estimated that only a veteran Decepticon like Onslaught could suppress Bumblebee.

Bumblebee's strength was clearly far above his own. The laser shot by the opponent's weapon hit the Mecha on Sun Cheng's body that had been enhanced by the AllSpark, yet it easily left dozens of cracks on it.

After feeling that his flight balance and speed had been affected as a result, he steadied himself in mid-air, and then transformed into human form and jumped down to the ground.

"Boom!"

After raising his cannon and firing another shot at him, Sun Cheng dodged by jumping backward, only to see Bumblebee, who was nearly twice his size, jogging toward him.

His wing was somewhat damaged, which greatly affected his movement before the body could automatically repair itself.

However, seeing that the other party did not seem to intend to let him go, he also got angry. Raising his hand to reveal the muzzle of a Rapid-fire Machine Gun in his palm, Sun Cheng began to fire wildly at Bumblebee.

"Da-da-da-da-da-da..."

The crisp sound of gunfire rang out continuously, but Bumblebee did not dodge at all, only extending his left arm to block his chest, actually charging over while hard-tanking his attacks.

"This guy is good at close-quarters combat..."

Sun Cheng's heart sank. Seeing him attempt to get close, he quickly reacted; although the opponent had weapons like a laser cannon, what he was best at was still close-quarters combat.

After realizing this, he immediately began to run along with the opponent, while his machine gun kept firing at the opponent's chest and head.

"Da-da-da..."

Bumblebee's speed was very fast, likely no worse than Barricade's.

Although Sun Cheng tried his best to increase the distance between himself and the opponent, he soon realized this was impossible; this Bumblebee was clearly also a speed-type Warrior.

"Trouble, can't fight for long!"

His Rapid-fire Machine Gun was hard-pressed to cause fatal damage to the opponent, and every burst of fire only left some shallow red marks on the opponent's body. On the contrary, the power of the opponent's laser cannon was quite impressive; given his body's durability, he estimated he would be blasted to pieces if he took two more shots.

Just as he was anxious that he was about to be caught up to and engaged in close combat by the opponent, Sun Cheng suddenly saw a human car not far away slam on its brakes and crash toward his side.

As soon as Sun Cheng saw the car about to hit him, his eyes lit up instead.

He keenly captured that when this human car appeared, Bumblebee clearly had some misgivings and directly retracted that laser cannon, which posed a huge threat to him, back into his arm.

"Sorry!"

Dodging the human car that had nearly hit him with a flash, Sun Cheng apologized in his heart to the middle-aged white man in the driver's seat, who was clearly looking at him and Bumblebee with a terrified expression, as they brushed past each other.

The next moment, arriving at the rear of the car, he kicked the Ford SUV hard. The powerful explosive force immediately flipped the car several meters high, and under the momentum, it smashed toward Bumblebee.

Subsequently, Sun Cheng leaped up and transformed back into Reaper Drone form, flying crookedly into the sky. Only then, taking advantage of his superior position, did he begin firing at Bumblebee again.

"Da-da-da..."

Bumblebee, who had just caught the Ford SUV, quickly pulled away from the car with agile running and jumping after the sound of the machine gun rang out again.

After standing still, he looked up with some annoyance at Sun Cheng, who was circling in the sky a hundred meters above, his eyes showing some impatience.

Raising his head and transforming his hand to reveal his laser cannon again, he immediately fired a shot at the sky, but unfortunately, it was dodged by the alert Sun Cheng.

"Da-da-da..."

"Boom!"

Both sides traded blows, and for a time, the sounds of machine guns and explosions rang out incessantly.

But although the fight was spectacular, neither of them had any intention of continuing to tangle with the other for long.

"After being on guard, it's very hard for the opponent to hit me again, and although I have the advantage of air superiority, the machine gun can't cause him any damage either!"

After quickly realizing this, Sun Cheng tentatively retracted his two machine guns, not intending to waste any more of his energy.

Not long after, he saw Bumblebee staring at him with some surprise for a while. Soon, he actually retracted his laser cannon, then transformed back into car form in front of him, and drove toward the distant highway accompanied by the roar of an engine.

After carefully scanning and recording the opponent's appearance, he circled in the air for a moment, then quickly increased his speed to ten thousand meters, and flew toward Africa again.

When Sun Cheng crossed the Atlantic and arrived at the Sahara Desert after flying at full speed, more than thirty hours had passed since he received the Interstellar Transmission from Blackout.

"Cassette Corps Frenzy, reporting to Lord Blackout..."

The meeting place for the two was not Mauritania, but in a desert within the Kufra province of southwestern Libya.

The new meeting coordinates were sent to him by the other party very impatiently a few hours ago. It could be seen that after arriving on Earth, Blackout had not stayed near the landing site waiting for him; this guy seemed to have taken a tour around Africa.

"Why did it take so long to get here..." Blackout asked impatiently.

Blackout was a Decepticon with a very tall body. Although he was not as huge as Onslaught, he was half a head shorter than Starscream.

Among the Decepticons, although it was not entirely true that the taller the body, the stronger the power, ninety-nine percent of Decepticons followed this law.

Sun Cheng clearly guessed that he might encounter such a situation. When asked by Blackout, he immediately projected the image of Bumblebee he had just encountered, "Lord Blackout, I encountered Bumblebee on the way here, and it took some effort to get away after being entangled by him!"

"Damn Autobot!"

Clearly, his excuse was accepted by Blackout. As soon as he saw the image of Bumblebee projected by Sun Cheng, he punched the ground beside him in anger, his eyes full of killing intent.

"The Autobots have also come to Earth? It seems that Lord Megatron and the AllSpark are indeed here..."

Blackout quickly looked at Sun Cheng again, and after coldly scanning him twice, he pressed, "Speak up. After scouting on Earth for so long, have you still not found any more clues?"

Having long since prepared his explanation, Sun Cheng did not hesitate at all; he immediately projected the images and photos he had found when he previously hacked the internet for Blackout to see, while answering, "It is certain that the Leader and the AllSpark are definitely on Earth, but according to analysis, they have very likely been discovered and hidden away by some country on Earth. This has brought no small amount of trouble to our search work. The countries on Earth have already mastered some weapons capable of causing us harm, so..."

"Useless waste..."

Blackout waved his hand impatiently, "I will finish the rest. Before the main force arrives, go select a suitable Base, and while you're at it, keep a close watch on that traitor Starscream!"

"Yes..."
