Chapter 644: Cybertron's Meteor Shower

Cybertron, Qingqiu City.

Qiao Shida is commanding the troops to gather.

Qingqiu City and the three surrounding cities have been swept away by the Iron Pagoda Regiment during this period. The range of the Space Marines' activities once expanded to the edge of the Rust Sea. If Qingshan Khan had not personally ordered everyone to withdraw their warships, the Space Marines would have even wanted to take vehicles to further areas to continue hunting tigers.

At this time, Fu Qinghai and Qiao Shida stood in the center of the temporary landing field of Qingqiu City, watching the space warriors around them carrying supplies into the gunship. There were also several Transformers corpses lying here, and the technical sergeant squatted beside the corpses, with mechanical tentacles behind him extending drills and pliers to pick up the Transformer gears.

"It will be done in thirty minutes, Khan."

Qiao Shida reported while holding a tactical tablet.

"Um."

Fu Qinghai looked at the corpse and fell into deep thought.

He was thinking about another question.

In fact, what the Iron Pagoda Group really needs is the Transformation Gear. In fact, as long as they can obtain the Transformation Gear, they don't have to kill the Decepticons. Of course, killing the Decepticons will reward assimilation points, which is also a kind of gain.

The Spark is the soul of a Cybertronian. After a Cybertronian dies, the Spark will return to the Well of Spark, no matter how far away they are. However, the Transformers will not disappear with the Spark. In theory, you can get the Transformers by getting the bodies of Transformers, whether they are Decepticons or Autobots.

But there's a problem:

Cybertronians have no funeral customs.

For humans on Earth, no matter whether the regional culture practices burial, cremation or water burial, they still have a certain respect and awe for corpses. But for Cybertronians, after losing the fire, the body is just a pile of metal materials. Most Cybertronians will have their bodies recycled and reforged after death.

For example, Megatron was a miner before the uprising, with the number D-16. If his co-workers died in a mining accident, or their bodies were worn out to the point of being scrapped due to overwork, their bodies would be recycled by the factory after losing their fire, and reforged into a new mining Cybertronian, who would be given fire again.

Therefore, there is no cemetery or graveyard on Cybertron, and it is difficult for Fu Qinghai to obtain Transformer Gears from corpses. But now the situation is a little different. Cybertron has lost the Well of Fire, and no new Cybertronians will be born. The war has caused most factories to stop operating, so how to deal with those corpses?

Fu Qinghai fell into deep thought.

"Khan? Khan?"

Qiao Shida reminded from the side.

"how?"

Fu Qinghai turned his head and asked.

"All the supplies have been packed."

Qiao Shida pointed at the Thunder Eagle gunboat and said:

"We can return to the Resolute now."

"good."

Fu Qinghai was about to step onto the gunboat's gangway.

"Khan!"

At this time, a Space Marine came over and said,

"A Decepticon convoy is heading towards Qingqiu City and is expected to arrive here in ten minutes."

As the Space Marine spoke, a servo skull floated up next to him, and a holographic projection was projected from its eye sockets:

On the wide road, nine large vehicles were lined up and speeding. These vehicles generally looked like engineering vehicles: road rollers, bulldozers, mixer trucks...

"Digging tiger."

Fu Qinghai narrowed his eyes and said,

"Hercules is coming."

Hercules is the first combiner in the Decepticon camp. He has made great contributions in the civil war and conquered countless cities. The nine brothers of Digger make up Hercules. Now the Digger convoy is heading straight for Qingqiu City. Obviously, Shockwave has realized that something is wrong here.

But it's too late, Shockwave!

"What to do with these guys, Khan?"

Qiao Shida looked at Fu Qinghai and asked:

"Deploy the 'Golden Armor of Broken Army'?"

"Don't waste time."

Fu Qinghai shook his head and said,

"Just give him a light spear to taste."

…

At this time, outside Qingqiu City.

The nine digging tiger brothers were very cautious. They did not drive directly into the city, but activated the transformation long before entering the city. The nine engineering vehicles quickly transformed and combined together. The mechanical giant slowly stood up outside the city and looked up at the quiet ruins of the city's high-rise buildings in front of it.

Hercules' eyes searched the ruins.

Next second.

The golden beam of light descended from the sky like a divine punishment.

Without any time to react, the Combiner was instantly pierced through the spine by a golden beam of light. How to describe that scene? It was as if a rod of God had been inserted from the sky, nailing the mechanical giant to the ground and making it unable to move.

Hercules fell apart with a loud bang.

After the torso was pierced by the light spear, the Combiner could no longer maintain its combined form, and the Diggers that made up the various parts of Hercules' body scattered and rolled to the ground. They were all injured to varying degrees, and each of them lay on the ground wailing. Until the low roar of the gunboat diving sounded above their heads.

Several Flame Raptor gunboats attacked.

"Da da da da, zi zi zi…"

The sound of the Avengers' bomb cannons was too dense, causing only a buzzing sound to be heard in the Diggers' auditory receptors. The bombs fell on the nine Transformers like a torrential metal rain. The entire area was covered with bombs, and the earth was boiling in the rain of bullets. The Diggers could not hold on for long.

The Transformers' bodies are hard and their defense is strong. A single heavy bomb cannot penetrate them, but they cannot stop the heavy bombs that keep coming like a flood. One bomb barrage after another shatters them into pieces.

Ten Flame Raptor gunships slowly landed, and the area had become a mess, with explosive warheads, metal fragments, and wreckage mixed together. Fortunately, the technical sergeant dug out nine deformed gears from the debris on the ground.

…

The battleship HMS Rectification was flying towards the Iron Fort.

Fu Qinghai stared at the images in the auspicious array. Hercules was already dead, but from the orbit, there was no large-scale mobilization of the Decepticon troops in the Iron Fortress. Shockwave's reaction was even slower than Fu Qinghai imagined.

Fu Qinghai knew why.

In the past, Cybertron had a very good communication infrastructure, with a data network covering the entire surface of the planet. Cybertronians could upload and download information or make video calls anytime and anywhere as long as they were on the planet's surface. However, as the civil war progressed, these communication infrastructures were destroyed, and the city's King Kong disappeared with the Image One. Without the support of the super artificial intelligence Image One, the data network could no longer cover the world as it did in the past.

Communications have returned to their primitive stages.

The Decepticons originally had their own intelligence unit, independent of the data network - Soundwave and his mini-Cons formed the Tape Corps. But unfortunately, Megatron took Soundwave away, and this intelligence unit also left Cybertron on the Nemesis, resulting in Shockwave being very short of eyes and ears, and the transmission of information was seriously delayed.

This is good news for Fu Qinghai.

By interrogating the two captives, Fu Qinghai has learned about the weak nature of the Decepticons on Cybertron. The most critical reason is that the Resolute took too much time to fly from Earth to Cybertron, and there was not much time left for the major events of the plot line, which prompted Fu Qinghai to change his tactics and turn to frontal combat.

But during a major plot event.

One issue that must be considered is:

the variable factor of reincarnation.

"Before, when you were operating on the surface, didn't you encounter anyone who looked like a reincarnation?"

Fu Qinghai looked at Qiao Shida and asked.

"No, we only encountered some Mini-Kings hiding in the sewer pipes and cracks in the ruins."

Qiao Shida shook his head and said.

Miron is not the target of the Space Marines. The transforming gears in their bodies are too small, and killing these neutral Cybertronians who live in the ruins will not reward assimilation points. At most, they will be captured by the technical sergeants for research and play before being released.

Where have all the reincarnations gone?

Fu Qinghai actually already had a rough guess in his mind.

Although few players choose to anchor the Transformers United Universe, a group of unlucky people will be randomly teleported in every time a reincarnation is opened. However, the major events of this plot line did not happen on Cybertron at all, but followed the two core plot characters in the Transformers United Universe: Optimus Prime and Megatron. Wherever they are, the major events of the plot line are also there. So I have never encountered a reincarnation.

"But this is fine."

Fu Qinghai said to himself:

"There are no unexpected factors to interfere."

"Khan, we have arrived above the Iron Fort."

Qiao Shida spoke up to remind him.

On the large desktop, the holographic projection flickered slightly, and green lines outlined the building model on the surface of the Iron Fort. Fu Qinghai saw the tall tower at a glance. This huge fortress-like building stood out in the slightly dilapidated city. It must be the legendary "Shockwave Tower".

Fu Qinghai glanced at the Eye of Prophecy again:

[The countdown to the end of this reincarnation...]

[3 hours, 42 minutes, 36 seconds]

"Orbital drop ready, Khan!"

A mortal crew member reported loudly.

"Then give Iron Castle a set of standard procedures."

Fu Qinghai raised his chin and ordered.

"As you command, Khan."

The first company commander took the order and left.

…

At this time, the Central Iron Fort.

Unlike other desolate and dilapidated cities on Cybertron, Ironfort has also been ravaged by war, but as the most developed city on Cybertron, there are still many Cybertronians living here. However, most of them have become refugees, struggling to survive under the high-pressure rule of Shockwave and his Decepticons. Dissidents are also forced to enter labor camps for reform, otherwise they will die.

Shockwave's Tower is the most heavily defended place in the Iron Fortress. It is the only new building in the Iron Fortress and the base camp that Shockwave built for himself. It is more of a "fortress" than a "tower", with high walls, turrets, crenels, electric grids... Fighter planes fly across the sky from time to time, and chariots drive back and forth on the ground. The main force of the Decepticons is all here. The solid fortress is daunting.

From the perspective of targeting the Autobots alone, the defense layout of this fortress is sufficient. Most of Cybertron's cities are three-dimensional, just like the Hive City. The fortress has made defensive reinforcements for every street and underground passage to prevent the Autobot guerrillas from entering the fortress through these areas.

But its designers never thought of it.

Destruction sometimes comes from the sky.

On the street outside Shockwave Tower, four or five Decepticon members were escorting a group of civilians with weapons in hand. They were driven out of their homes on the pretext of helping the Autobots defend the city. These civilians were walking into the ruins of the city at gunpoint, and then began to clean up and carry away the construction debris.

A Cybertronian civilian was leaning over to pry a concrete slab. He was originally a bartender in the old oil mill of Macartan. His body design was not suitable for such heavy physical labor, but more suitable for delicate work such as bartending. But at this moment, he had no choice but to lift this heavy wall with all his strength - otherwise the bullet would fall on his head.

The Cybertronians had just lifted the wall panels and put them on the transport vehicle nearby when they suddenly felt something in their hearts and looked up. They saw a few bright lights flashing in the eternally gloomy and dark sky of Cybertron, falling rapidly, getting closer and closer to where they were...

Is it a shooting star?

The Cybertronians could not help but be stunned.

I stopped what I was doing unconsciously.

Cybertron...how many years has it been since there was a meteor shower? I forgot when the last time was. This planet is far from the star, and the light is always so dim and gloomy. Since he became self-aware, the space bridge has been broken, and there have been only a few aircraft in the sky.

"Hey, idiot, what are you doing!"

A roar like an explosion sounded behind him:

"Don't be lazy, keep working, middle class!"

The civilians ignored the overseer's curses and threats.

Because he saw the meteor getting closer.

The Cybertronians dropped their carrying tools.

"Destroy it. It's good to be destroyed..."

Let the Iron Fort fall apart in the meteorite impact.

It's better than living under the oppression of the Decepticons.

The supervisor behind him walked over aggressively.

However, none of them expected it.

What comes earlier than the meteor is the punishment from heaven.

Several giant golden beams of light appeared in the air in the blink of an eye, penetrating the floating dust and illuminating the gloomy sky, like a bridge of light connecting heaven and earth. The Decepticon squad patrolling around Shockwave Tower was instantly melted and vaporized by the golden light. Along with the golden beams of light came explosions, and giant shells fell on the ground one after another.

"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"

At that moment, the sky and the earth changed color and the earth shook.

The Cybertronians in the ruins were unable to stand and fell to the ground. They looked up at the newly built fortress in the distance, which was completely blocked by the golden light column and the explosion fire and rubble raised by the giant shells. The Decepticons were stunned and forgot to continue supervising the civilians.

Just at this moment.

The "meteor" in the sky finally fell down.
