Chapter 685: The Ark (Bonus for Alliance Leader

On Trindade Island, after ending the communication with Base No. 2, Sun Cheng narrowed his eyes.

"The reaction is much faster than I imagined. It seems Moscow has also realized my impatience!"

The communication he had just ended came from Base No. 2; the Workers stationed at the Severodvinsk naval port had received a request from Moscow, wishing to dispatch a special person to negotiate with Sun Cheng regarding the expansion of the cooperation agreement.

He no longer had much patience for that group of Russians who appeared kind and honest but were constantly pulling small tricks behind his back, so Sun Cheng directly refused using the excuse of being very busy lately.

As for whether the Russians would send someone directly to Trindade Island next, that would depend on whether they were sensible enough.

After all, even if Sun Cheng abandoned the Polar Bear now, he believed that with that iron-fisted president's ambition, they would continue to exert force in Eastern Europe, Southern Europe, and the Middle East according to his previous assumptions, forcing the Americans to divert some of their energy.

That was enough!

Many of the cooperation agreements Sun Cheng previously had with Moscow were still yet to be completed.

Although that bunch of Russians always liked to pull small tricks, they had not stopped delivering supplies even when the Decepticons launched their massive invasion earlier.

He likely would not be going to the Severodvinsk naval port again, barring any accidents.

Trindade Island changed almost every day after Sun Cheng decided to build it into a Black Market.

This island, with a total area of only a dozen square kilometers, actually had very little usable land, and coupled with the harsh environment, this was why it had only been garrisoned by twenty or thirty Brazilian Navy soldiers for a long time before he took a fancy to it, and their activity area was limited to the southeastern region.

The island's development potential was not great; even if it were replaced by them, the Decepticons, they could at most flatten some low sand dunes and fill in the rugged river valleys.

After such efforts, the Workers under Sun Cheng commanded hundreds of robots and spent over a week, only managing to expand the habitable area on the island to two or three square kilometers.

But this was enough!

A Black Market for Base No. 2 to conduct secret transactions with Earthlings did not need to be very large at all.

Sun Cheng would not sell anything too advanced to the Earthlings of the 【Transformers Universe】, opting instead for small amounts of technology and large quantities of equipment.

After all, once humans developed, they would inevitably squeeze the living environment of the Decepticons and Autobots.

Although his soul was that of an Earthling from another world, his identity in this world was that of a Decepticon traitor.

One's position determines one's stance; although Sun Cheng was also controlling himself not to do evil to humans, it was limited to that.

Since it was a Black Market, it naturally did not need to be too large.

Referencing some designs on Earth and incorporating some Cybertronian architectural styles, Sun Cheng designed a huge building similar to an ancient Greek temple.

Once completed, this place would be used for them to negotiate and trade with humans in the future.

The building would have product showrooms, conference rooms, guest rooms for humans to rest, and so on.

Explosions could be heard from time to time around the island; if one stood at the southeastern corner of the island, one could even see water columns shooting into the sky when the explosions rang out.

Those were the two Decepticons, Firstborn and Thunder, conducting blasting operations on the seabed near the pier.

There were many reasons why Trindade Island had not been well utilized in the past: its geographical location was too poor, the island was too small, and there was no fresh water or supplies on the island.

Moreover, there were reefs everywhere around the island; the Brazilian Navy had paid a high cost of millions of dollars back then to clear a supply shipping lane to send fresh water and supplies to the island regularly.

However, for the Decepticons, the cost of diving to the seabed to conduct large-scale blasting on the reefs around the island was not only lower, but the time required was also much less.

Firstborn and Thunder did not even need a day to widen the shipping lane, which originally could only accommodate small boats of a few hundred tons, to allow cargo ships of thousands or even tens of thousands of tons to approach.

To cooperate with Firstborn and the others, the Workers were also commanding robots to expand the pier.

As if by appointment, later that day, Sun Cheng received another communication from Base No. 2.

It was from the Far East; he still had some feelings for this motherland of his in the other world, and because of this, after realizing that he had offended the Americans, the Autobots, and the Decepticons all at once, he had not been there for a long time to avoid bringing trouble to the Far East.

Currently, an Engineer of the Decepticons was in charge of the Far East, along with more than a dozen Workers and thousands of various robots.

Beidu suddenly contacted him, using diplomatic rhetoric similar to Moscow's, all hoping to negotiate with him regarding the expansion of the cooperation agreement.

After thinking for a while, Sun Cheng finally let the Super Intelligence responsible for coordinating contacts in the base, Huan, notify the Decepticon Engineer stationed in the Far East, telling him to inform Beidu to negotiate directly with Beidu.

Trindade Island was located in the South Atlantic, and for the Far East, whose navy was still in the transition stage from brown water to green water, it was destined to be out of reach.

Moreover, the things sold in the Black Market here would be slightly inferior to the technology and equipment Sun Cheng had provided when he cooperated with the Far East and the Russians before.

So, letting them continue to keep a low profile was actually more appropriate.

After the order was conveyed and he patrolled the island for a while, Sun Cheng returned to the Sub-base on the island and continued to study the many spoils of war from recently.

He really had quite a few good things on him now; not to mention the two Yuanzu Weapons, the special energy from the three 【Matrix of Leadership】 traded from Optimus Prime alone made Sun Cheng realize that these were three good things comparable to AllSpark Fragments.

Not to mention, after Soundwave and Astrotrain died in battle, their remains also all fell into Sun Cheng's hands.

Even with the current strength of Base No. 2, it would take a long time to completely digest these spoils of war.

Therefore, Sun Cheng had been living a very fulfilling life recently, so fulfilling that he had even temporarily forgotten his previous plan to return to the real world at regular intervals to replenish and exchange supplies.

He was currently fully reading and digesting Soundwave's memory, bit by bit expanding his understanding of Cybertronian civilization, as well as the Decepticons and Autobots.

Just at this moment, another communication from Base No. 2 interrupted Sun Cheng.

With a hint of displeasure, he clicked to read the communication sent from Base No. 2.

When the content of the communication was fully revealed in Sun Cheng's mind, the slight dissatisfaction in his heart immediately disappeared completely.

The content of the communication was very brief, only a short sentence.

"Master, the Cybertronian Spaceship that crashed within the territory of Bolivia has been found!"
