The city of Springs in Nevada, less than 200 kilometers from Las Vegas, awaits me. The two highways intersect here, making it very convenient to get around.
When Senior Director Simmons of the 7th Defense Sector arrived here in a helicopter, he knew he was on a very difficult task.
In other words, whether the Seventh Defense Zone can survive depends on whether he can succeed in this trip!
Senior Director Simmons is an American who came to the New World from across the ocean, and his family has experienced some of the continent's major wars. One of his noblest ideals is that one day an elite white man like him can rule the world!
But now, this lofty ideal of his has been dealt a serious blow. The Seventh Defense Zone was originally the most secret, powerful, and resourceful organization in the US-Canada Alliance, but now it has fallen to the point of being disbanded and closed overnight!
And all of this thanks to that damn Captain Thunder!
Senior Director Simmons sat in the car, casually listening to his subordinates' reports, while thinking about these miscellaneous things in his heart.
Fifteen minutes later, the black Ford Tiger arrived at its destination, and Senior Director Simmons calmly got out of the car, tightened his black suit, straightened his glasses on the bridge of his nose, took a deep breath, and walked towards the abandoned factory warehouse.
This is the southeastern suburb of Springs, and it's only a 10-minute walk from here to Interstate 93 to Las Vegas.
And this area is abandoned, although it is only a ten-minute drive from the city, but it is inaccessible during the day. The factories and warehouses are all in tatters, overgrown with weeds and hares.
These Transformers, who have just arrived on Earth, chose this place as a foothold, and they really know how to pick a place! The agents of the Seventh Defense District have been tracking this target place since last night, but they have not moved on a large scale so as not to startle the snake.
Senior Director Simmons walked through the haunted realm like a black ghost. In order to avoid misunderstanding, he did not carry any weapons or detection equipment to monitor the radiation of the Transformers, so he had to rely on his own eyes to find the Transformers that inhabited here.
Half an hour later, he was already sweating from his vest, but he hadn't found any trace of the Transformers. For a moment, he was a little suspicious, could it be that the agents of the Seventh Defense District were in the wrong place?
In the middle of this abandoned factory and warehouse, all kinds of abandoned vehicles and machinery are parked like scrap copper and iron. Senior Director Simmons reached out to wipe the dust from the front of a tattered car that could barely be distinguished as yellow, and was about to sit down and rest, when he suddenly heard a slight noise, his heart moved, he reached out and slapped the yellow, and exclaimed, "Stop pretending!" Transformers! You think I won't recognize this thing? ”
There was silence all around, nothing happened. Just when Senior Director Simmons was dumbfounded in his heart, the yellow tattered thing in front of him actually moved on its own, and after a series of dazzling combinations of deformations, he stood up and looked at Simmons condescendingly, the huge short barrel in his right hand was red and shiny, and it was as if he had killed Senior Director Simmons.
"Who are you?" The Transformer snapped.
Senior Director Simmons looked up at this transformer he had never seen before, took a deep breath to force himself to calm down, and replied, "My name is Simmons, Senior Director of the Seventh Defense District, Special Envoy of the President, and I am here to find you!" You're the leader of the Transformers who came to Earth this time, right? ”
"Nope! My name is Bumblebee! Bumblebee snapped back, "What's your purpose?" ”
"Cooperation!" Senior Director Simmons replied repeatedly, "I am representing the US-Canada Alliance, the country of this land, to talk to you about cooperation with Transformers!" You're here for the source of the fire, aren't you? ”
"Do you know the source of the tinder?" Bumblebee asked, "Where?" ”
"It's confidential! We can talk about cooperation first, and then talk about the source of fire! Simmons Senior Director said.
At that moment, the entire parking lot was in tatters, as if it were boiling. Even though Simmons had been mentally prepared for a long time, he was still shocked and his face turned pale.
An even taller Transformer Transformer stepped forward and said to Bumblebee, "Bumblebee, I'm going to talk to him as a human." ”
Simmons' visual inspection showed that this tall Transformer seemed to be a little taller than that Megatron. It's just that his eyes are blue lines and light, while Megatron is red.
"I'm Optimus Prime! The leader of the Autobots! Optimus Prime looked down at Simmons and said, "Do you know where the spark is coming from?" But we have to talk to you about cooperation before we can tell us! ”
"Yes...... Yes! Simmons replied. For the first time, he felt that his idea was terrible! These Transformers are not stupid big steel bumps, and they are not as easy to talk as he imagined.
"What do you want? Our weapons? Technology? Is that right? Optimus Prime asked. The big eyes that radiated blue light seemed to be able to see through Simmons's heart.
Simmons felt weak for a while, and replied stubbornly: "These are all negotiable!" ”
"No!" Optimus Prime replied, "We don't know a lot about the humans! All you want is weapons and technology, weapons and technology that can be used in war! Let's go, Simmons, and tell your president that we're here to find the source of the fire, not to start a war against humanity! If you want to talk about cooperation, bring the source of fire first! ”
Simmons felt astringent and wanted to say a few more words, but Optimus Prime had already straightened up, and it was obvious that he had no intention of talking to him again.
After Simmons left, these Transformers immediately began to argue, but Optimus Prime remained silent, looked up at the clouds in the sky at a 45-degree angle, and suddenly asked out loud: "Gangster, you have been here the longest and know the most about humans, what do you think?" ”
On the gunwales, there are already many traces of rust. Even the ambulance could not do anything about such an injury, and it could not be repaired unless it could replace him with a new part.
He walked up to Optimus Prime and replied, "Humans are cunning creatures, and we can only rely on ourselves to find the whereabouts of the source of the fire. Bumblebee, you can take in all the radio signals emitted by humans, and you can try to find out what is unusual in them. I'm sorry, Optimus Prime, but I also woke up from my slumber after I intercepted the Decepticons' summoning signal. This world is completely different from my time! It's a pity that the guy I know, with the average lifespan of a human being, I'm afraid it's long gone! ”
Optimus Prime didn't ask much, this time he came to Earth, plus him, that is, 5 members, reconnaissance and intelligence expert Bumblebee, weapons expert Ironskin, repair expert Ambulance, Adjutant Sir. The gunwald is an Autobot who has been lurking here for a long time, but unfortunately he doesn't seem to have much to gain.
At this time, Optimus Prime can't blame him for his incompetence. Being able to stay on this strange planet for nearly a century is quite difficult for anyone.
Bumblebee shook his head there, muttering, "Unusual place, unusual place!" Sponboards, you are talking about this unusual place, including this? It's strange that according to the date, these pictures are only today in large numbers and densely appearing in various places on the planet, is it unusual?! ”
What he projected was an image, a tourist marketing ad for Paradise Island. The gunwales just glanced at it, and told Bumblebee very indifferently, "This is advertising, humans often do this when they promote all kinds of junk products, but I didn't expect that decades have passed, and there are still so many advertisements in this era, this is garbage information!" ”
Bumblebee was disappointed and ready to turn off the projection and go back to searching for something unusual, when Optimus Prime suddenly shouted, "Bumblebee, wait! Zoom in on this area of the image. ”
