Chapter 957: The Moment of Harvest

Charging into Cairo city in the lead, Sun Cheng descended rapidly into the city center.

Before him was a skyscraper that had been riddled with holes in the previous bombardment.

Sun Cheng landed on the road in front of the building; the asphalt road before the building was also covered in craters at this moment.

Some of these were scars left behind by the battle between Sentinel Prime and Optimus Prime, while others were damage caused by the U. S. military's missile strikes.

Sun Cheng's gaze swept quickly across the surroundings; when Hailishi and the four Arsenal Ships bombarded Cairo earlier, they had deliberately avoided this area under his orders.

With the precision of the Decepticons, this was not a difficult task.

After searching for a short while, Sun Cheng soon found his target.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, he hurried toward the target, and before long, he arrived at the edge of a crater a few dozen meters away.

There, a tall, red-and-gray mechanical giant lay quietly on the ground, having completely lost all signs of life.

It was none other than Sentinel Prime!

"Boom!"

A sound of a heavy object landing came from not far away. Without turning around, Sun Cheng identified it as Thunder from the familiar electromagnetic spectrum.

He immediately ordered: "Thunder, stand guard for me!"

"Yes!"

Sun Cheng walked quickly to the side of Sentinel Prime's remains, bent down to grab his heavy chassis, and lifted his head to be level with his own.

He extended a hand and placed it on Sentinel Prime's head.

Countless tiny metal joints soon extended from that hand, tapped on Sentinel Prime's head for a while, and then pierced into Sentinel Prime's head one by one.

Sun Cheng was not in a hurry to pry into Sentinel Prime's memories; he was also very interested in Sentinel Prime's chassis.

This former Prime was once hailed as the strongest Leader, and although he had been defeated not long ago by Optimus Prime, who possessed the Matrix of Leadership, one still could not deny Sentinel Prime's past power.

Although the current strength of Sun Cheng's chassis was infinitely close to Leader Class, let alone compared to Sentinel Prime, it was estimated that there was still a gap even to Shockwave, who was the least skilled in combat among Leader-class Warriors.

Therefore, the data of Sentinel Prime's chassis was definitely useful to him, and of great use at that, which could facilitate him in further enhancing his own chassis later on.

As one joint after another continued to be inserted into Sentinel Prime's body, sets of data that were extremely precious to Sun Cheng were rapidly fed back into his mind.

His Core was running at full speed at this moment, processing those sets of secret data regarding Sentinel Prime's chassis.

At this moment, Sun Cheng almost wanted to jump up in excitement; he soon realized that these data alone were enough to compensate for the missiles consumed in this bombardment, and the return was even far beyond the consumption.

It took about ten minutes or so, and all the structural data of Sentinel Prime's body, including that Spark which had already been destroyed, all secrets were exposed to Sun Cheng.

"I've made a huge profit!"

Sun Cheng said to himself, and unable to hold back any longer, he immediately gathered all his strength and began to read Sentinel Prime's Memory Data.

The metal joints inserted into Sentinel Prime's mind did not take much time to find a tiny Chip hidden in an inconspicuous place in his Brain.

When the tips of the joints touched that Chip, Sun Cheng's chassis trembled violently.

Immediately, a massive amount of data began to pour madly into his brain.

"Commander!"

Thunder, standing to the side, looked at Sun Cheng with some unease. At this moment, Sun Cheng's body was shaking violently, and his brain seemed as if some part of it had been burned out, with thick white smoke constantly rising from it.

He had the intention to interrupt and ask about the situation, but thinking of the Commander's previous order, he could only stand honestly to the side, carefully guarding the surroundings.

And at this moment, the Decepticons arriving from the Nile River delta and the Mediterranean Sea finally reached Cairo city.

Although under Sun Cheng's influence, the vast majority of Advanced Decepticon Warriors under his command tended to choose fighter jets or helicopters with flight capabilities when selecting their transformation forms.

But the physical particularity of the Cybertronians determined that not every Decepticon possessed flight capabilities.

Some Cybertronians showed special strengths in power after birth, while others had more potential in agility and perception.

Except for a very small number of Cybertronians who could balance the advantages of power, agility, and perception in all aspects, the vast majority of Cybertronians only had specialties in one aspect.

Therefore, Cybertronians with greater power were mostly more compatible with heavy ground transformation units; those with advantages only in agility generally prioritized ground vehicle-type transformations.

Forcibly scanning and changing transformation forms would not only make one endure unbearable pain, but the transformation forms after such forced changes would also have inferior capabilities in all aspects compared to...

Even though the Decepticons under his command were all influenced by Sun Cheng, as of now, except for six or seven Elite Warriors and Advanced Warriors who had received his tilted massive resources for key cultivation, they possessed flight capabilities.

The remaining Advanced Warriors eventually had to choose other transformation forms.

"Commander..."

"Since you have arrived, first clear out those Decepticon clones and Quintesson soldiers in the city! For all Autobots, it is enough to severely injure them and ensure they lose their combat capability; hand them over to the Autobots themselves to deal with later. I will protect the Commander here, you go!"

"Yes!"

Although the total number of fully armed Decepticons was small.

But the Decepticons accompanying this time were all Advanced Warriors or above, and they could be said to be armed to the teeth.

Moreover, their opponents were just a group of scarred and defeated soldiers who had been baptized by Electromagnetic Pulse Weapons and various missiles.

In Cairo city, sparse gunfire soon rang out again.

And with the sound of every gunshot, at least one Decepticon clone or Quintesson soldier would die.

Facing the Autobots who attempted to attack them, the Advanced Decepticon Warriors did not show any mercy.

Directly switching to Electromagnetic Anesthetic Bombs specially designed for them, one bullet was enough to make them go limp and lose their combat capability for at least several hours.

And several hours of time was enough for Sun Cheng and the others to handle everything in Cairo and withdraw.

Thunder held his weapon, always standing vigilantly around Sun Cheng, carefully guarding him against possible attacks.

Now, after more than a year of tempering.

Although he was still as cold and silent as in the past, he was increasingly looking like a qualified Commander.

Within the regional communication channel, orders were constantly issued from his mouth.

Not long after, the gunfire in Cairo city fell silent once again.
