Chapter 481: Drinking poison to quench thirst

Optimus Prime once again organized a small and efficient tactical team and set off to Red Spider's Qingqiu City.

The Autobots transformed into vehicle forms one after another, and vehicles of various shapes formed a convoy, speeding through the extensive three-dimensional roads of Cybertron, passing through the gap between Blade City and Sonic Boom City, and heading straight for Xuanji Lake.

Fu Qinghai sat in Optimus Prime's truck as usual.

He had previously compared Cybertron to Mars, because the former looked very similar to the Forge World of the Mechanicus, but Cybertron was actually far more developed than Mars, and the former had better infrastructure construction than the latter.

The Transformers' vehicle form moves very quickly, and coupled with the area's crisscrossing three-dimensional network of metal highways and excellent road infrastructure, the Autobots quickly arrived at Qingqiu City, specifically the suburbs of the city.

"Encountered a Decepticon patrol ahead!"

Ironhide, the leader, warned.

"Transform immediately and prepare for battle!"

Optimus Prime gave the order.

"Crack, crackle, snap..."

Several cars rushed out of the road guardrail, then deformed directly in mid-air. After a series of mechanical changes, they swung their weapons and slammed into the Decepticon patrol.

"Roar—bang!"

The Decepticons roared and fought.

The two sides immediately began to fight each other.

Optimus Prime also transformed into a human form, and Fu Qinghai was thrown out of the cab. After landing steadily, he quickly ran forward with his sword, ready to join the battle. A Decepticon in front turned around and stared at Fu Qinghai.

Seeing the expression on the other person's face, Fu Qinghai couldn't help but frown. This Cybertronian was very strange, staring at the visual sensor that was glowing red, panting with his fangs and mouth half open and half closed, and turbid oil dripping from his chin.

"Ahhh!"

He howled like a wild beast, leaped forward, and ran quickly on all fours.

Fu Qinghai also ran forward with the sword in one hand. Just when the two were about to touch, he bent his knees and kicked hard. The flying backpack sprayed out a large jet of ions, pushing Fu Qinghai high over the Decepticon's head.

"clang——"

Sparks flew, leaving a deep gash on the Cybertronian's back, with engine oil gushing out.

After landing, Fu Qinghai turned around quickly and prepared to swing his sword again. However, after the enemy's spine was cracked, he was able to twist around even faster and hit him with a hook punch. Fu Qinghai had no choice but to raise his sword to block, and there was only a loud "bang".

Fu Qinghai flew out high.

"Bang!"

It hit a giant pillar and slowly slid down.

"Ahem…"

Fu Qinghai coughed up a mouthful of blood, forced it down his throat and swallowed it, looking up at the Decepticon in surprise. The Decepticon's face was distorted, and some dark purple unknown liquid slowly seeped out of the wound on his back. He let out a low roar like a beast and walked towards him step by step.

How can the power be so great?

How can it be so fast?

It's not like Fu Qinghai hasn't fought with Decepticons before. He once fought one against three at the Kalon City Arena. But the Decepticon in front of him had improved strength and reaction, which was completely different from before. And why did he look like this?

Fu Qinghai stared at the other person and suddenly said in surprise:

"Barricade, are you Barricade?"

Barricade was the gladiator that Fu Qinghai had treated in the prison in Kalon City. He was a die-hard fanboy of Megatron. Seeing his behavior at that time, he was 100% sure to join the Decepticons. Fu Qinghai had also thought that if they met again in the future, the two sides might fight to the death due to their different camps, but he didn't expect... to become like this now?

The other party just kept growling and approaching step by step.

No answer to Fu Qinghai's question.

"Barricade, don't you remember me?"

Fu Qinghai stood up, stretched his shoulders and limbs, and asked, while his palm gently grasped the end of the hammer handle.

I thought to myself, that shouldn't be the case. I'm your savior. Even if I'm forgetful, I should not have no memory of you at all.

However, the opponent seemed to have lost the ability to speak and think. He roared and pounced on him again on all fours. But this time Fu Qinghai was prepared. He pulled out the inertia hammer at his waist and quickly spun it twice, smashing it hard on the barricade that was rushing towards him.

"Bang--"

A circle of shock waves spread through the air.

The other party returned the same way and flew far away.

Fu Qinghai walked towards the barricade with the inertia hammer in one hand.

I had a vague guess in my mind: Is this state... the consequence of using the dark super energy body?

Fu Qinghai still remembers a small detail in the movie version of Transformers, a significant difference between the Decepticons and the Autobots: the Autobots would chat, joke, spit and curse at the Earthlings. Although they looked different, they were obviously also intelligent creatures. However, many of the Decepticon soldiers could only roar like beasts and hardly communicated with humans.

At first he thought that since the length of the movie was limited, there was no way to arrange lines for these extras, so he just let them yell a few times and then go fight to their death.

But now it seems that... could it be that those Cybertronians were corrupted by some kind of power after using the dark super energy body to charge their minds and fell into a violent state?

Then why are Megatron, Starscream, Shockwave... these high-ranking leaders of the Decepticons not affected?

"Hehe... dark super energy body..."

Barricade lay on the ground, dying:

"Dark super energy body, I want darkness..."

You can still talk.

Fu Qinghai thought to himself.

"Bang—bang!"

A heavy hammer hit it hard.

Barricade's head exploded and he died.

The gladiator who was personally treated by Fu Qinghai still died at the hands of his doctor.

After Barricade died, some dark purple liquid began to seep out of the broken end of his headless body. Fu Qinghai stared at the broken end, thinking it was some kind of motor oil or body fluid, but he soon discovered that the dark purple liquid began to float up as if it had no weight, and then gathered in the air, eventually forming a dark purple ball of light that was constantly expanding and contracting, a ball of pure energy polymer.

Because he knew in advance how terrifying the dark super energy body was, Fu Qinghai didn't dare to touch the dark purple light ball. Instead, he immediately took a step back and looked at it with caution.

The ball of light ignored Fu Qinghai.

Instead, it quickly floated in another direction.

Fu Qinghai looked in that direction and saw the Decepticons and Autobots fighting fiercely. The Autobots in the tactical team were the elite among the elites, but the strength of the blackened Decepticons was also not to be underestimated. The two sides fought hard...

At this moment, the dark purple light ball flew faster and faster, and then suddenly, it entered the body of a Decepticon and quickly disappeared. Then the Decepticon was shocked, and suddenly roared to the sky, and then, as if he had been injected with chicken blood, he began to howl wildly and fight hard regardless of his injuries.

Fu Qinghai stared at the scene with wide eyes.

This scene was repeated on the battlefield.

Every fallen Decepticon would have a dark purple light floating out of his body, perhaps it was the dark super energy body. These light balls were large and small, and they would automatically look for Cybertronians around them who were infected by the dark super energy body, then enter their bodies and slowly gather and enrich them...

Dark super energy bodies also have this kind of characteristics?

Fu Qinghai was very surprised.

This was the first time that Fu Qinghai faced a blackened Decepticon, and it was also the first time that Optimus Prime and the Autobots faced a blackened Decepticon. Everyone was caught off guard by the strange characteristics of the dark super energy body - the Decepticons would become stronger and stronger! If there were still unused dark super energy bodies in the dead body, they would automatically leave the body and gather towards other infected people, causing the last Decepticon to become very strong.

Fu Qinghai rushed into the battle group holding an inertia hammer.

Think quickly while fighting hard.

The Decepticons are finished!

Fu Qinghai said with certainty in his heart.

By observing the performance of this Decepticon patrol, he came up with two arguments: first, it is known that the dark energy body will make some Cybertronians lose their minds and become severely addicted. Second, the dark energy body in the dead Cybertronians will gather towards other Cybertronians who use the dark energy body.

Well, unless the dark super energy can be supplied continuously, otherwise, if one day the dark super energy is completely exhausted, the war ends, and the Autobots are all dead...these Decepticons will start to kill each other!

——Because as long as he kills his companions, he can obtain the unused dark super energy in their bodies!

No wonder, no wonder Master Titanium said that the Decepticons will eventually be destroyed by this power. Megatron is drinking poison to quench his thirst, and he has done everything he can to win the war.

Of course, Master Titanium also said that the Decepticons would destroy the Autobots before destroying themselves - this now seems almost beyond doubt.

Both sides were originally in a state of energy shortage, and both lost the energy needed to continue the war. But now the Decepticons have obtained the Dark Super Energy Body, while the Autobots have no other supplies. As one side gains, the other loses. The Autobots can't defend the Iron Fortress at all, and will be defeated sooner or later!

What's more, the Dark Super Energy Body was born for war. It turned the Cybertronians into violent beasts who lost their minds and only knew how to kill. The energy can also be gathered and enriched...

"Bang!"

The last Decepticon finally fell.

The Autobots supported each other and were covered in wounds.

Fu Qinghai watched this scene and silently turned the hammer to shake off the engine oil on the hammer head.

I thought: It's over, the big storyline is gone.

And you said you were getting better...bullshit.

The Autobots were doomed.

Frustration surged into Fu Qinghai's heart again, but he did not dwell on the failure - it was not the first time he lost anyway. He found that as long as he earned enough assimilation points during the major events of the plot line, the deduction after failure was annoying but not detrimental. The key was other gains - compared to rescuing some bullshit Archenemy, Fu Qinghai was actually more interested in Cybertron's orbital energy lens.

Of course, the magic ball, image number one...

These too are priceless treasures.

If any one of them can be assimilated, the assimilation points deducted as a penalty for failure are not a big deal.

The battle was over, leaving the ground in ruins.

Optimus Prime looked at the corpses all over the ground with a complicated expression.

Ironhide came forward and asked,

"Chief, we still have to continue..."

"Keep going, we must rescue Yu Tiandi."

Optimus Prime said in a powerful voice.
