Chapter 67: Persistent Frenzy

*Dadadadadada.*

The sound of M4A1 gunfire echoed in the central control room. A continuous barrage of bullets was fired into the ground, creating craters and kicking up dust, damaging numerous instruments. Some of the equipment even short-circuited due to the onslaught.

"Damn it! That little shit is too small," muttered one of the guards from Sector 7 as he entered the central control room. He saw the invading robot, Frenzy, confused by his slender and tiny form, resembling metallic branches, standing at just 20 centimeters tall.

The guard immediately opened fire, causing Frenzy to scurry to the back of a control panel, perforating it and causing a short circuit. When the guard checked, Frenzy had vanished.

"Gagagagaga..."

Scourge's four tiny blue eyes darted around, emitting a mischievous sound, and he laughed triumphantly.

With his six mechanical legs and four mechanical arms working together, Frenzy was swifter than a gecko. He sprinted past the guard, climbing out of a window. The guard only managed to leave a trail of bullet holes on the wall as the decepticon swiftly escaped, leaving the central control room.

Frenzy was a chaotic Transformer, reveling in destruction for its own sake. He craved chaos and panic, creating them without reason or purpose. The panic in Zone 7 delighted him, and he continued to emit his gleeful "gagagaga" laughter.

"Frenzy, attack!" he narrated for himself. This was his realm of chaos and panic, his battleground.

As he left the control room, his six mechanical legs merged into two, allowing him to run and weave through the engineering vehicles like a human. At less than half a wheel's height, his slender, metallic limbs allowed him to blend into the busy, tense crowd of engineers. Even with the warnings from the guards, there was no time for anyone to notice Frenzy hiding beneath the chassis, firmly attached to the undercarriage, as he followed the vehicle to the freezing chamber of Megatron.

The ground bombings continued to shake Sector 7's underground facilities. Every human could feel the vibrations underfoot. However, amidst the organized and hurried commands, nobody panicked. They all focused on their assigned tasks.

Five engineering vehicles pulled liquid nitrogen transfer conduits, extending ladders onto the suspended iron walkway. They manually stabilized the long nitrogen transfer conduits as if they were firefighters wielding water cannons, directing the streams toward Megatron, who was about to be thawed. This constant injection of liquid nitrogen kept him in a state of prolonged freezing.

"It's working!"

"His temperature isn't rising."

"Keep spraying continuously, excellent work."

"Widen the spraying area to maintain his body's freezing. We have enough personnel for shifts every half hour."

"Don't fear the external bombardment. The guards in Sector 7 are handling it. Let's focus on our tasks."

A chief engineer, holding a megaphone, calmly provided instructions amidst the rumbling vibrations, maintaining order and ensuring the freezing of Megatron.

Frenzy transformed from a shapeless mass under the engineering vehicle into a metal rod and rolled out. He then unfolded, assuming a humanoid shape, and hid in the shadow of the vehicle's wheel. Extending his slender metallic head, he peeked out with his four tiny blue eyes, confirming that Megatron was still being kept frozen by the humans.

The human response was precise and astute.

Even when it deactivated the freezing system and attempted to thaw Megatron, the ground bombings by Blackout had depleted the backup power supply. Yet, the humans persisted in manually dragging the liquid nitrogen transfer conduits to continue maintaining Megatron's freezing.

"Gagagaga—You are facing none other than Frenzy from the Decepticons," Frenzy cackled in a mechanical tone. During moments when the humans were busy and not paying attention, he swiftly climbed up an engineering vehicle, using the liquid nitrogen transfer conduit as a stepping stone.

His mechanical hands started to reconfigure, utilizing the elasticity of silicon-metal-based cells to assemble a surgical scalpel.

Frenzy glanced at the thick liquid nitrogen transfer conduit and then at his tiny scalpel, smaller than the surgical tool.

With one swift motion, he slashed at the liquid nitrogen transfer conduit, creating a gash.

"A sharp blade creates panic!" Frenzy laughed. He then raised his tiny scalpel again, slashing with rapid successive strikes. He managed to create a gap in the sturdy liquid nitrogen transfer conduit.

Liquid nitrogen sprayed out, with a temperature of -196.56°C, rapidly covering Frenzy's tiny scalpel hand. It froze the silicon-metal-based cells inside him, extinguishing it instantly.

Alert, Frenzy quickly ran away, not even feeling the existence of his right hand. It had been frozen and shattered during his escape, without him even realizing it.

Transformers also had senses like vision, hearing, touch, smell, and the ability to feel pain. They could not only transmit pain signals from their body surface but also experienced stress-induced immune responses from the "spark" within them.

At that moment, Frenzy realized his right hand was unresponsive, frozen to the point that it had shaken and shattered during his escape, leaving a trail of pieces behind him.

"Liquid nitrogen transfer conduit leak!!"

"Cease pressure on liquid nitrogen transfer conduit number three, stop it!"

As liquid nitrogen suddenly leaked, it created a large freezing area. Humans urgently halted the work on liquid nitrogen transfer conduit number three.

Amid the human chaos, Frenzy climbed onto another liquid nitrogen transfer conduit, his left hand transforming into a spike. He thrust it towards one of the humans controlling the liquid nitrogen transfer conduit, stabbing it into the person's heart. Afterward, Frenzy gleefully leaped down, repeating the same action on another human.

Two humans controlling the liquid nitrogen transfer conduits died in agony one after the other. The unattended liquid nitrogen transfer conduits began to wildly spray and jet, causing widespread chaos. Humans panicked and could no longer maintain the freezing of Megatron.

"Damn it, it's the little shit!"

Some guards spotted the instigator, and with M4A1 rifles in hand, they opened fire at Frenzy.

"Kill this little beast!" a team of guards shouted in anger, pursuing Frenzy.

Frenzy chuckled triumphantly as he watched Megatron frozen solid. He transformed, sprouting six legs, and darted away frantically towards the allspark area.

Frozen within the ice, Megatron, a ten-meter-tall mechanical behemoth, slowly blinked two red points of light within the depths of his mechanical head. Then, these points of light grew more intense and radiant.

Large chunks of ice started to fall from his mechanical body.

"16502, we're losing pressure! We're losing pressure!"

"We can't maintain his surface freezing state!"

"He's warming up too quickly!"

Megatron suddenly jerked his head violently within the ice, causing ice fragments to scatter in all directions. His mechanical body exerted tremendous force, causing the icy layer on his surface to crack and fall.

He took a massive step forward, crushing an engineering vehicle beneath his foot, causing it to explode. Furiously, he ripped apart the iron chains that had bound him to humans, folding the claw of his right mechanical hand against his back. From his wrist extended a steel chain hammer, which he swung indiscriminately, smashing into the surrounding steel structures and humans.

Megatron vented his anger, swinging the chain hammer to obliterate the engineering vehicle and tearing apart the cables around him. He caused generators to explode in a shower of sparks, and humans fled in terror.

In less than twenty seconds, the entire shed area was violently destroyed by Megatron. Electrical lines sparked and arced, gasoline fumes filled the air, nitrous smoke billowed, and liquid nitrogen transfer conduits sprayed wildly. The screams of dismembered humans blended into the gruesome battlefield.

With one hand, Megatron tore apart an iron ladder, looking down on everything with mechanical arrogance. His mechanical body, filled with fury, radiated a brilliant red light from his eye sockets. He roared, transformed into a jet fighter, and flew directly towards the allspark shed area.

"I am Megatron!"
