Chapter 670: Anxious Waiting

Trindade, this unremarkable island located in the South Atlantic Ocean, has seen major changes almost every day recently.

Massive amounts of resources were transported to the island by Sun Cheng himself using the Spherical Space, and the Workers directed the robots to quickly build this island into an island fortress.

As for the twenty or so Brazilian Navy soldiers on the island, although it was a bit unfair to them, they had all been dealt with by the Workers.

Not taking action against them personally was the last bit of humanity Sun Cheng tried to maintain in this world; after all, in the world of 【Transformers】, he was more accustomed to the thinking and behavioral patterns of a Decepticon.

The unremarkable Trindade Island was quickly built into an island fortress by Sun Cheng under the influx of massive resources.

On the island, there were barracks for the Workers, anti-aircraft facilities, and dozens of self-propelled howitzers.

On the not-so-large island, Combat Robots had already begun patrolling.

Thundercracker and Swindle also received a Task from Sun Cheng, going to the island to wander around for a while every few hours.

Their purpose in doing this was only one: to make certain prying eyes believe that this was Sun Cheng's main camp, or an important Base.

The 【Cassette Corps】 did not disappoint Sun Cheng and his group; only a few days after the deal with Starscream, Trindade Island was targeted.

"Master, we have discovered Laserbeak within the island's restricted zone..."

When the surveillance equipment deployed on Trindade Island captured Laserbeak's electromagnetic spectrum, the Forerunner, who had just been recalled by Sun Cheng from Base No. 2, reported this discovery to Sun Cheng.

"Has it finally come?"

Sun Cheng's heart stirred, and his calm face finally showed emotional fluctuations.

Ever since Starscream proposed assassinating Soundwave, he had thought of using Trindade Island and had started preparations in advance.

It took more than a week in total, involving over twenty Workers and hundreds of various Engineering Robots.

Currently, the entire Trindade Island no longer resembled the desolate volcanic island it once was; to invade this island fortress, even if Starscream and Optimus Prime were to arrive in person, it would take quite a bit of effort.

Without any hesitation, Sun Cheng immediately issued an order, "Have the Workers issue a warning, lock the Anti-Aircraft System onto Laserbeak, and forcibly drive it out of the territory!"

Frenzy was from the 【Cassette Corps】, so after fully digesting Frenzy's memories, he was well aware of the 【Cassette Corps】's modus operandi and the personality of every member.

Laserbeak was an insidious and cautious fellow; rather than scouting for intelligence in dangerous situations, it mostly cooperated with companions in invasions, then used its expertise in interrogation and intelligence theft to obtain important information.

Laserbeak never put itself in danger; once it sensed danger, it would retreat to a safe zone.

During the Cybertronian Civil War, Frenzy had seen Laserbeak get scared away after being discovered by Autobot Warriors and fired upon a few times during several missions.

"Yes!"

After the Forerunner received the order, he immediately arranged it, and Laserbeak's performance did not disappoint them.

When the Anti-Aircraft System locked onto Laserbeak and the Workers issued a communication warning for it to evacuate immediately, this guy just moved a little closer to the island, and then, after two Anti-aircraft missiles were launched, it was so scared that it dove into the sea, stealthily traveled for over ten kilometers, and only then flew back into the sky to retreat rapidly.

"Alright, now I don't know if Soundwave will take the bait and come over personally!"

Sun Cheng was actually not very repulsed by cooperating with Starscream.

That guy had calculated him correctly; Soundwave was not only a big threat to Starscream, but also to Sun Cheng.

Although he had no doubt that the other party would sell him out the moment their operation against Soundwave was exposed.

But thinking about it carefully, even if Megatron found out, Sun Cheng's situation wouldn't be any worse than it was now.

When he was deep in the Mariana Trench, spying on the feigning-death Megatron and getting caught by him, he had already realized that when Megatron returned, he would inevitably become a target for liquidation.

On the contrary, if Sun Cheng cooperated with Starscream to kill Soundwave first now.

Not only could he make Megatron lose a top general, but it could also buy him more time for development.

Presumably, that nasty-tempered guy Starscream should also be looking forward to the scene where Sun Cheng is hunted all over the world by Megatron and Shockwave in the future.

Therefore, according to his speculation, at least before Shockwave arrived, both he and the Autobots would enjoy a brief period of peace.

Ilha da Racha, the largest island in the Martin Vaz Islands, has an area of only over 400,000 square meters.

This island is only over 30 kilometers away from Trindade Island, and administratively, like Trindade Island, it is also under the jurisdiction of Espirito Santo.

What no one knew was that on this seemingly unremarkable island, inside a cave at the bottom of a cliff in the southeast of the island, a team of Autobots was sitting gloomily in the depths of the renovated cave.

"Leader, do you think Frenzy's words are credible?"

The Autobot Ironhide had a cigar in his mouth, leaning against the moss-covered rock wall, and asked while wiping the weapon in his hand.

Optimus Prime was also wiping his Heavy Sword, and his hand paused upon hearing this, "I don't know, but I believe we can trust him!"

Inside the cave, along with Optimus Prime, there were fifteen Autobots who had secretly arrived at this seaside cave two days ago to hide, all of whom were the bravest and most battle-hardened Warriors.

Although he didn't think that Frenzy, who had just reached a reconciliation and made a deal with them, would set them up, the previous experience of being assassinated by Starscream and his group still made the young Autobot Leader fully prepared this time.

Ironhide, who had been sent out to select a suitable location for New Iacon, was recalled; Sideswipe, the Elite Warrior who had just come out of the dark room, the Triple Changer Drift, Ratchet, Bumblebee, and others—all the elite combat forces of the Autobots who had come to Earth were gathered here.

With Optimus Prime's current strength, plus this group of Elite Warriors, he believed that even if Starscream wanted to carry out an operation of that scale again, it would be impossible to succeed.

This was also the reason why, after receiving the notification from Frenzy that Frenzy intended to use himself as bait to lure out Soundwave, who had been hunting him, and then they would join forces to deal with Soundwave, Optimus Prime chose to believe him and led his team here.

They feared no threats!

"I hope the wait will not be in vain!"

"Damn it, this damp cave will make my chassis rust!"

"Wait patiently!"

It was not just Sun Cheng, but also the Autobots he had just tricked into joining the fold, who were all anxiously waiting for Soundwave's arrival.

Sorry, I was busy all day today and only had time to touch the computer in the evening.
