Chapter 71: Seeing the AllSpark Again (Part 2)

As Decepticons who created a civilization even more advanced than Earth's, they are not something that rigid robots designed by humans can compare to.

Although Onslaught was visiting Hoover Dam for the first time and was completely unfamiliar with the place.

Yet his experience and wisdom still allowed him, after only a brief observation, to follow the passage humans had built beneath the dam and find an entrance into Sector 7.

When Sun Cheng jumped down from the cliff beside the dam, he happened to see him raise his long spear and fire a shot at the gate with a boom; after the explosion and dust settled, a deep and spacious passage was revealed.

"This passage is too narrow, you go in front!"

After Onslaught frowned and looked inside, he turned his head and said to him.

Sun Cheng nodded; this passage leading directly from the dam to Sector 7 was clearly one of the few used for transporting large equipment, but its design followed human standards entirely—though it was five or six meters wide, it was only four meters high, so the bulky Onslaught could only return to his heavy truck form to enter.

"I understand!"

He replied, and just as he was about to enter, his gaze swept over the bright lights inside the passage, and his heart stirred; he turned his head and ordered the Pioneer, who was hiding nearby: "Destroy the power generation equipment outside the dam, and paralyze its power supply system as much as possible!"

It was just that Sun Cheng suddenly realized that both he and Onslaught had night vision capabilities, so even if they were exchanging fire with humans inside the mountain without any lighting, they would be completely unaffected, but humans could not do the same.

Moreover, according to the reconnaissance from the few sets of Insect Scouts he had released earlier, a large amount of electromagnetic interference equipment was deployed within the base; once the power supply system was damaged, these annoying things would naturally be unable to operate.

"Leave it to me, Master!"

The Pioneer quickly replied to his communication, and then explosions began to ring out nearby.

Seeing that he had already begun to act, Sun Cheng felt satisfied, and immediately took the lead and charged into the interior of the dam.

"Boom..."

Having only advanced a few dozen meters into the base, several 40mm armor-piercing shells were fired at them head-on.

Sun Cheng felt a jolt of alarm; armor-piercing shells of this caliber designed by humans were already enough to cause damage to his chassis, so after he dodged the attack with a leap, he suddenly increased his speed, raised his hand to reveal his rapid-fire machine gun, and fired while running.

"Rat-tat-tat..."

"Rat-tat-tat..."

Human rifle bullets hitting his chassis only caused sparks to fly, and once the alert Sun Cheng had immediately killed the soldiers carrying recoilless rifles and grenade launchers, the other defenders were completely unable to cause him any harm.

After routing the first wave of defenders who attempted to establish a defensive line to stop them from entering the base, Sun Cheng and the others quickly exited the passage and entered the interior of the dam.

"Boom!"

Finally having enough space to maneuver, Onslaught returned to his humanoid form, summoned his powerful long spear, and as if to vent, fired several consecutive shots at the humans who were fleeing in panic inside the base.

"Master, situation discovered..."

Suddenly receiving the Pioneer's communication, Sun Cheng couldn't help but stop, "What is it?"

"A team of human helicopters is flying here and has already entered my reconnaissance range. I captured a set of special frequencies among them, which are consistent with the data you transmitted to me regarding the Autobot—Bumblebee..."

Humans? Bumblebee?

Sun Cheng's heart sank, and he hurriedly ordered: "I understand, keep yourself hidden, don't expose yourself!"

He then turned his face to look at Onslaught, his voice low: "Lord Onslaught, the Pioneer discovered that human reinforcements have arrived, and he captured the frequency of the Autobot—Bumblebee among them?"

"Autobots?"

Onslaught curled his lip, "Those lowly mongrels, they really are regressing the longer they live; do they still want to get mixed up with these vermin?"

Clearly, he did not regard Bumblebee as a threat, and pointing into the distance, his expression was indescribably excited, "It's here; although it's very faint, I can feel the call of the 【AllSpark】!"

"Let's go!"

After saying this, he raised his long spear and took the lead, walking toward the depths of Sector 7 where the 【AllSpark】 was located.

"Yes!"

Although Sun Cheng felt a faint sense of unease, always feeling that something bad would happen.

But with Onslaught there, he figured that even if they were to go to war with that Bumblebee again, they wouldn't lose out.

He followed closely behind Onslaught, and the two of them quickly rushed toward the laboratory where the 【AllSpark】 was located.

"Boom..."

"Boom..."

Along the way, with almost no pause, Onslaught perfectly interpreted for him what it meant to have 'unrivaled combat power'; his chassis armor was so strong that even the 40mm armor-piercing shells that Sun Cheng was very wary of could be resisted head-on, with only a few dents appearing on the surface.

As for other human weapons, they couldn't cause him any harm at all.

On the contrary, Onslaught's sonic gun had truly impressive power; even the M2 infantry fighting vehicle, which had decent defensive performance, would basically have its armor shattered and be disabled after taking one shot, not to mention the numerous modified Humvees inside the base.

The base seemed to have backup power; the two of them encountered quite a few electromagnetic interference devices along the way, most of which were still operating, causing Sun Cheng no small amount of trouble.

Thanks to the fact that they didn't seem to affect Onslaught, one shot solved all the problems.

The two of them pushed through by force all the way and soon arrived inside the laboratory labeled by humans as 'Pandora's Box'.

"We're here, it's the 【AllSpark】."

Kicking open the heavy lead door of the laboratory, Onslaught walked into the lab first, and upon seeing that huge cube, he shouted in excitement, completely forgetting himself with a look of intoxication on his face.

He ran quickly to the side of the 【AllSpark】; despite his bulky chassis, he appeared exceptionally small before that huge cube. Sun Cheng saw him immediately retract the weapon in his hand into his body, then excitedly reach out a hand to touch the 【AllSpark】 with a tremble.

The next moment, streaks of ghostly blue electric light began to jump wildly around the 【AllSpark】, quickly wrapping Onslaught's entire body within them.

Sun Cheng opened his eyes wide and looked at him, seeing those streaks of ghostly blue electric light constantly jumping around Onslaught's body, as if they had consciousness, drilling into his chassis.

As more and more ghostly blue electric light was absorbed by Onslaught, his chassis was changing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye—becoming more bulky, larger, and harder, and a layer of silver-gray flowing light seemed to shimmer within the armor on his body, which made Sun Cheng very envious.

Onslaught's evolution time was clearly much longer than Sun Cheng's. After carefully standing guard on the side for a while, Sun Cheng's heart stirred, and he suddenly remembered a passage the other party had said not long ago when he was still at the Onslaught base.

After carefully observing the surroundings for a while and even releasing two more sets of Insect Scouts to stand guard nearby, he then walked with Onslaught to the front of the 【AllSpark】 and stood still, simultaneously reaching out his hand to touch the 【AllSpark】 again.

Instantly, the jumping ghostly blue electric light surged over and wrapped him within it as well.
