Chapter 83: The Situation Deteriorates

"Annoying flies..."

The overwhelming barrage of missiles finally annoyed several of the Decepticons.

Megatron kicked Ratchet away, looked up at the sky, his eyes filled with rage.

Although his frame did not fear the combat missiles launched by the F-15s, he was currently in the middle of a battle with the Autobot Leader and several Elite Warriors; whenever he was affected by human missiles, his opponents would never miss such a good opportunity, especially Optimus Prime, who had already left several terrifying scars on his body.

"Useless things..."

He swept a cold glance at Sun Cheng in the distance; his face carried annoyance, but his heart was exceptionally calm.

Megatron was a clever person; how could he not see that Sun Cheng, who clearly possessed aerial combat capabilities but had reverted to human form and was sticking close to Onslaught, was not actually unable to fight?

He was likely doing it more to protect himself and preserve his strength; otherwise, given the structural integrity and agility of a Decepticon frame, even if he were the weakest among all the Decepticons present, if he truly fought to the death, it would not be impossible for him to take down a few human fighter jets.

"Interesting. It seems this little guy under Soundwave also dares to harbor ulterior motives for the 【AllSpark】..."

Fortunately, they were currently in the middle of a battle, and although Megatron had noticed Sun Cheng's little schemes, he did not act on them immediately.

With an icy gaze, he swept over Sun Cheng twice, noted this cunning little fellow, and then ordered Blackout, who was loyally guarding his side: "Go, deal with those disgusting things in the sky first..."

"Yes, my Leader..."

After Blackout responded, he immediately looked up at the sky, then reached behind his back, took out his propeller, held it in his hand, and suddenly exerted force to fling it into the air.

"Whoosh..."

It was strange to say, but his propeller did not look like a weapon, yet it acted like a boomerang, shooting rapidly toward an F-15 fighter jet hovering dozens of meters in the sky with terrifying force.

The high-speed rotating propeller was easily dodged by the highly maneuverable F-15, but these were clearly within Blackout's expectations; he suddenly raised a Laser Cannon and fired several shots in succession.

The next moment, the debris of the exploded F-15 in the air was scattered everywhere.

Sun Cheng was not far away; he had reverted to human form since just a moment ago and was hiding beside Onslaught, letting Onslaught—whose frame was tall, burly, and clearly a tough character—attract the hostility from the sky, while he himself held a Vulcan Cannon and took time to fire two rounds at the sky.

In a short while, he hadn't taken a single missile, but he had managed to shoot down one F-15 and severely damage another with cold shots.

Despite the small gains, the unease in Sun Cheng's heart grew heavier, "Pay attention, the situation is already getting chaotic..."

He warned himself secretly; the US military's counterattack came even faster than Sun Cheng had expected. A squadron of over a dozen of the Air Force's main F-15 fighter jets had already caused trouble for the Decepticons; if the numbers increased, this battle might become impossible to fight.

Megatron and the others looked down on humans and Earth civilization from the bottom of their hearts, so even if they felt the threat from humans, they would mostly ignore it out of contempt.

If this continued, the Decepticons would definitely suffer.

Blackout suddenly stopped besieging the Autobots and began to clear the threat of the US Air Force jets in the sky along with Onslaught, which made him breathe a slight sigh of relief. With his addition, plus Onslaught's efforts, the number of F-15 fighter jets lost to the two of them quickly reached seven or eight, forcing these expensive fighter jets to no longer dare to circle at low altitudes, and they all climbed to high altitudes of several thousand meters.

Seeing this, Sun Cheng breathed a small sigh of relief, but the vigilance in his heart did not dissipate at all.

"The Americans don't just have this much strength. If we get dragged down here, their reinforcements will only arrive in an endless stream. Must get the 【AllSpark】 quickly, otherwise there will be no hope..."

He was a person who liked to overthink, and having nearly suffered in reality before due to insufficient preparation, he had become even more suspicious.

Seeing that the situation had turned in favor of the Decepticons again, but green smoke suddenly rose near the team of humans protecting the 【AllSpark】, Sun Cheng felt more worry than joy. After rolling to dodge a shell, he simply stopped caring about the sky and headed straight for the human garrison guarding the 【AllSpark】.

"Boom..."

"Stop him quickly..."

As soon as Sun Cheng moved, a barrage of bullets came at him.

He calmly dodged the damage that could threaten him while constantly advancing toward the 【AllSpark】, and did not forget to raise his gun to fire and suppress the garrison trying to hinder his advance.

"Rat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat..."

The human bullets landed on his frame, leaving only pitter-patter sounds, and could not cause him much damage at all.

Instead, the bullets fired from the Vulcan Cannon in Sun Cheng's hand whistled with death; as long as anyone was bold enough to show their head to fight back, they would be hit by his ultra-high precision.

Moreover, even if they tried to hide in Humvees and Infantry Fighting Vehicles to resist, it was useless; their armor could not withstand a round of fire from the Vulcan Cannon either.

"Whoosh..."

Rows of missiles suddenly changed targets, no longer entangling with Megatron, Blackout, and Onslaught, but instead shooting toward Sun Cheng, stopping his advance. The radiation waves from the explosions pulled and tossed his frame from side to side.

Just as Sun Cheng stabilized his body, his Core suddenly captured some laser guidance. He looked down at his frame involuntarily and saw more than a dozen laser dots on it.

"This is..."

Following the direction from which the laser came, he quickly saw a team of human soldiers more than ten meters away who had actually taken advantage of the previous round of missile volleys to rush out from the Humvees and Infantry Fighting Vehicles, fearlessly raising the weapons in their hands and using the laser designators on them to lock onto him.

"Wait, is this guiding an aerial strike?"

Sun Cheng's heart stirred, and he quickly realized what these US soldiers were going to do to him!

Having realized this, he hurriedly raised his gun to aim at the US soldiers trying to provide laser guidance for the air, while immediately turning his Core's early warning function to the maximum.

Soon, accompanied by a heavy noise that suddenly sounded in the sky, Sun Cheng looked up at the sky for just one glance, and his expression changed drastically.

The A-10 "Thunderbolt II" attack aircraft, also known as the Warthog, is a single-seat, twin-engine attack aircraft produced by Fairchild. It is a fighter jet currently in service with the US Air Force responsible for providing close air support to ground troops. Whether it is the GAU-8A Avenger, known as the 'King of Aerial Cannon Firepower', the rocket pods, or the payload capacity several times that of the F-15, although it is unknown whether it can pose a threat to Megatron and the others, it is already enough to tear Sun Cheng's frame apart.

Even worse, Sun Cheng was shocked to see that in the distant sky, besides the 6 Warthogs that had arrived, there were actually two AC-130U gunships, and the 105mm airborne howitzer equipped on them should be able to easily penetrate his frame.

In an instant, Sun Cheng realized that the Decepticons were in danger!

PS:

I apologize to everyone. I had writer's block the past two days, my feel for the story hasn't been good, and I haven't been able to adjust my mindset to update steadily.

I calculated it while at work today; since starting the book, due to various reasons, I have missed updates, and I now owe twenty-five or twenty-six chapters. To avoid the debt getting larger, starting today, I will no longer fix which day I will pay back the debt. As long as I have time after work, I will try my best to update three times a day to pay off the debt until it is finished.

Also, the plot of Transformers 1 will end tomorrow, barring any accidents.
