Chapter 40: Clues (Kneeling and Asking for Push, Acceptance, and Reward)
Thrown down from mid-air by a laser bird, Sun Cheng took advantage of the trunk of a North American redwood, jumped up, and spun in the air before falling to the ground steadily.
Once he had steadied himself, he looked up to the sky, but he could still find the laser bird, which had apparently gone back to protect the soundwave that was about to go into hibernation.
After a brief search and making sure that there were no humans nearby, Sun Cheng changed back into human form and sat on the ground.
Life saved!
This should be the most fortunate thing for him now, Sun Cheng really didn't expect that Red Spider would be so decisive to attack the sound waves that belong to the same camp.
However, this is not a good thing for him now.
Judging from the injuries suffered by Sonic Wave, this guy may have to lie dormant for at least three or five years before he can complete the repair of his body.
"Maybe that's why he let me go!" Sun Cheng had a hidden understanding in his heart.
Obviously, Sonic is very worried that in the few years that he has to fall into hibernation, the Red Spider will find the [Tinder Source], this guy came to Earth decades ago, if it weren't for the fact that he already has accurate information about the [Tinder Source], there is no reason for the Red Spider to dare to attack Sonic so blatantly.
The dormant sound waves will be very vulnerable, so he must leave the loyal laser bird behind to guard him.
But then he had no one at his disposal.
Sun Cheng pondered that it should be because of this reason, so after Sonic found out that his memory had been restored, he did not choose to clean him up immediately, but coerced and lured him, trying to force Sun Cheng to work for himself.
"It's okay......"
After temporarily relieving the danger of his life, Sun Cheng couldn't help but get excited in his heart.
Sonic obviously didn't know that he was no longer the 'confused', and through that mysterious spherical space that didn't know where to hide in his body, Sun Cheng could leave this world and return to his original real world before he woke up again.
However, this is undoubtedly the best result for him.
After quickly clearing all his thoughts, Sun Cheng got up and prepared to leave this unknown forest.
Although he understood that the attacker couldn't worry about himself, after thinking about it, he still sent a remote message to the other party, telling the attacker that he was going to see Sonic and that he would not go back for the time being after being assigned a new mission.
After sending the message, he looked at the forest around him.
The laser bird didn't know where to throw him, but it didn't bother Sun Cheng.
He is now different from a few days ago, Sun Chengcheng, who has obtained a new body, has improved his strength very obviously, although it is far less than the barricades and others can face an army, but his self-protection ability has risen in a straight line, and he already has the ability to perform tasks alone.
After briefly identifying the direction against the sun, Sun Cheng once again changed back into the form of a fierce beast, running all the way to the southerly direction he had identified, and from time to time adjusting his route with the help of the beast path and the direction of the river stream he found.
After galloping all the way, after more than half an hour, he finally caught some wooden stakes left behind after manual felling.
Sure that he was about to walk out of the forest, Sun Cheng couldn't help but be shocked.
Seeing that it was still early, he cautiously stayed at the edge of the forest until nightfall, and then quietly left the forest.
Groping around the nearby human settlement, Sun Cheng couldn't help but be a little disappointed.
There is no human city in this vicinity, at most it is just a small town, and it seems to accommodate hundreds of families, if it weren't for the American-style country houses in the town, Sun Cheng felt that it was not even as good as the villages in the central and western parts of the country.
After turning around carefully, Sun Cheng was completely disappointed, this is a standard American-style country town, mainly logging and breeding, the townspeople are like vulgar people in American Westerns, not to mention that every family has a computer, he sneaked into more than a dozen houses in the dark, but he didn't find any trace of the computer.
Fortunately, with the help of road signs, he was sure that he was now in Oregon, a few dozen kilometers south of Nevada, and more than 200 kilometers east of Idaho.
After finally knowing his current position, Sun Cheng couldn't help but think.
In the next stage, he plans to find a larger human city to infiltrate in order to find clues about the source of the fire.
It's not that Sun Cheng was really frightened by the sound wave and was ready to work for him.
But his [core] was moved by the sound waves, but it really reminded him, making Sun Cheng suddenly realize that he needed [Tinder Source] very much now.
Since the beginning of the crossing, he had already understood that the [core] was the root of the Decepticons, but at that time he didn't know why. It wasn't until the attack helped him design a brand-new body that Sun Cheng clearly realized that without a more powerful [core], no matter how powerful the body was, it was useless.
However, it is not easy to obtain the [core], first, he has no idea how to make it, and the elite warriors as powerful as the raid know very little about the [core], and it is estimated that only the Decepticon giants like Red Spider, Shockwave, and Megatron know how to make the [core].
Red Spider had made a deal with him before, and Sun Cheng had obtained a level 2 [core] from him before the transaction, but Sun Cheng didn't dare to ask for the higher-level spark he promised to give him now.
Not to mention that there is a bit of truth or falsehood, just because he was attacked and forcibly took away half of the loot, Sun Cheng felt that he might be angry no matter how he thought about it.
What's more, with that guy's personality that is worse than Sonic Wave, he doesn't want to accept the pain of being controlled by someone for a while.
He can't make [core], the only big guy who can give him [core] - Red Spider, Sun Cheng is not at ease with him at all.
In this way, he wants to upgrade his [core] and remove the threat of sound waves to himself, and Sun Cheng's only way is to find the [Tinder Source].
[Flame Source], the supreme holy relic of the Decepticon clan, originally Sun Cheng knew almost nothing about it.
However, when he followed the attack some time ago, he used this as a topic to come up with a lot of information.
According to the attack, the Tinder Source may have originated during the Council of Elders in the Ancient Era of Cybertron, and is said to have been an artifact created by one or more Patriarchs who possessed near-infinite energy to give life to machines. In the ancient era of Cybertron, all Decepticons and even Autobots were given life by the Tinder Source and evolved to become more powerful.
Sun Cheng also thought that if he could find the [Flame Source], he would have a great chance of solving the [core] problem in his body.
However, it is not so easy to find the [Tinder Source].
The Red Spider's deliberateness, the sound waves following closely behind, the attack waiting for an opportunity, and the Autobots who appeared at the end of the mission that day all showed that the [Tinder Source] may be on Earth, but the Earth is so big, it is not easy to find the [Tinder Source].
"By the way, I remember that the attack mentioned that the [Tinder Source] is a huge quadrangular body, and if it lands on Earth, it will inevitably be regarded as a meteorite by the earthlings. And there is an evolutionary force around it, but whenever an electronic machine comes close, it will be given life and become a robot. If that's the case, then there must be eyewitnesses who have left a record......"
After finally sorting out two important clues for him to find the [Tinder Source], Sun Cheng only felt a shock in his spirit, and then hesitated to do so, and after only slightly determining the direction, he left the place called 'Ogden? Marsh's town, continue south, toward Nevada.
ps:
Regarding why the protagonist doesn't know about the world of [Transformers] and the like, if you look closely, in fact, I have already explained in the first chapter, the protagonist is from another parallel world, and my setting is that there are no anime and movies in that world of the [Transformers] series.
