Chapter 378: The Man Behind the Pot
Yellowstone National Park, camping area.
A couple of older children are pitching their tents.
Suddenly, one of them stood up.
"Jack, what are you doing, hurry up and help."
"Jack, you don't want to be lazy, I'll tell my mother to go, and punish you for not having food at night."
Several of the children suddenly shouted.
The boy, named Jack, raised his hand and pointed to the forest in the distance: "Look, fireworks are going off there." ”
"That's a terrible excuse for you, where are the fireworks here?" A little girl stood up and subconsciously looked in the direction of Jack's finger, then exclaimed.
"What's that!"
Just in the direction of Jack's finger, behind the forest, a pillar of light burst into the sky.
Even in the daytime, it can't hide its light.
"Is it really fireworks?"
"No, that's the tail flame of the rocket thruster!"
"No way, I didn't see the rocket, and besides, there is no rocket launch base here."
"You're all mistaken, I'm sure, it's an alien, it's a UFO!"
"Why didn't I see a UFO?"
"Because it's invisible!"
Just as the children were gossiping, discussing the pillar of light.
In the military base, the light on the chest of the soldier boy gradually dimmed, and he had released all his energy.
Unsustainable.
"That's why your skill is too bad."
"If you want to hit the target, you have to have teammates to cooperate and control it."
"Otherwise, if you're a little faster, you'll only be able to hit the air."
Azu complained, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "By the way, how did I forget it." ”
"I know what to do with you."
Hearing the word 'handle', the soldier boy suddenly had a bad premonition, and he struggled, but Azu's two hands were like pliers, and he was tightly controlled.
The soldier boy suddenly screamed, tore his uniform, spun around, and fell to the ground.
Azu looked at the clothes in his hand, smiled, threw them aside and said, "I advise you not to do useless struggles. ”
The soldier boy turned around and ran.
Suddenly.
There was wind in the back of his head.
Didn't have time to look back.
There was a bang in the back of his head.
Then the world spun around before his eyes.
The soldier boy did not know what was happening, but the reporter on the helicopter saw it clearly.
They saw the Motherland catching up from behind, and with a wave of their hand, they knocked the soldier boy into the air and rolled 360 degrees.
The soldier boy fell to the ground hard, and he shook his head to get up.
A sinking on the back.
It turned out that Azu had already stepped on him.
Then the reporters on the helicopter watched as Azu's eyes erupted a fiery golden beam that landed on the back of the soldier boy.
The man who was trampled on the ground by the motherland suddenly screamed.
In the end, the motherland used his laser eye to blast the man through.
The man's body twitched for a moment, then fell silent.
He's dead.
Some reporters drew crosses on their chests, while others whispered to their peers about what would happen next.
What they don't know is.
What I saw was just an illusion that Azu used to 'distort reality' to let them see.
The truth is, Azu shot blue light from his eyes.
Looted from Staro's 'Transformation Ray'!
This innate ability from the Transformers Cosmic Spark Source can transform any target it hits into a mechanical life.
and will be unconditionally obedient to the ray user.
When the 'Transformation Ray' fell on the Soldier Boy, the Soldier Boy's whole body trembled, and his life form changed from one to the other.
Every cell and every element in his body is undergoing earth-shaking changes.
His skin had a metallic feel.
His eyes sparkled with electric sparks.
He was transformed from a human to a mechanical being under the influence of the 'Transformation Ray', and in his central processing unit, he was programmed to pledge unconditional allegiance to Azu.
This is the lowest program and the highest priority!
In the blink of an eye.
The Soldier Boy completed the transformation.
He stood up.
There was a blue electric fire flashing in his eyes.
He knelt down on one knee to Azu.
Azu looked at him and said, "Change your appearance, the way you look will remind people of your original identity." ”
"Yes."
The Soldier Boy said, and his face began to deform.
His eyes were elongated, his eyes were a little smaller, his nose was a little longer, his lips were thinner, his hair was thicker than that of a rock singer, and the beard on his face was gone.
Soon, he became a different person.
At least, appearances alone don't associate him with the Soldier Boy.
"You also have to change the way you release energy, you can't fire that kind of energy cannon from your chest, you can fire it from the palm of your hand instead, you can adjust it."
Azu gave a new order.
The Soldier Boy immediately raised his hand, and his arm deformed and combined to form a hand cannon similar to the white noise cannon of the 'Steel Bone'.
Full of technology.
Azu nodded with satisfaction: "That's it, now you return to New York on your own first, hide as an ordinary person, and I will contact you if necessary." ”
"Yes."
A flash of light immediately appeared on the Soldier Boy, and he used a 'hologram' to disguise himself as a base soldier and walked away quickly.
"It's so convenient, mechanical life."
Azu shrugged his shoulders: "But I will never become like that, although it is convenient, but I also lose too much of the joy of being a human being." ”
With that, he took to the skies and came to the helicopter where the reporters were.
"Everyone, the press conference is over."
"You don't need me to say anything about it, you should know what to do, right?"
Batalon immediately said: "After I go back to editing, I will make this news public." ”
"However, it is likely that the federal gag will be issued."
Other reporters nodded their heads.
Azu laughed: "You can rest assured. ”
"With me, there would be no such thing as a gag order."
"You can send this news out through all the channels you have access to."
"Also."
He pointed to Bataron: "I can give you an exclusive interview. ”
Batalon's eyes lit up: "Thank you so much, sir! ”
Azu smiled and said, "If you really want to thank me, make this news a good one." ”
"Everyone, there is a drinking party in the Tower of Seven in the evening, I hope you can all enjoy your faces."
"I'll go first."
Because he no longer needed to act as a 'tour guide', Azu flew into the air with a 'bang', knocked away a white cloud, and then left at high speed, leaving a long-lasting cloud line in the sky.
Washington, White House.
Back in the office.
Rick. Archibald sat down with a gloomy face.
General Mack, who heard the news, and other officials hurried to the office.
"Mr. President, how can this be, why are the motherlanders showing up in Yellowstone?" A high-ranking federal official couldn't help but ask.
General Mack got more detailed information, so he was even more angry: "That bastard knew the news early in the morning, otherwise, he would not have called the reporters in advance, and prepared a helicopter and flew directly to the military base in Yellowstone to take pictures." ”
A spokesman for the Ministry of Information said: "I immediately contacted the major media outlets and told them to keep their mouths shut. ”
At this time, Rick. Archibald sighed, shook his head, and said, "It's useless. ”
"With the support of the motherland, those reporters will not shut up."
"Let the public relations department contact the Tower of Seven and say that I want to meet with the people of the motherland."
"If the people of the motherland are still willing to see me, maybe there is room for redemption in this matter."
"Otherwise."
Everyone's hearts sank.
Especially General Mack, who looked out the window.
Today's sunset was extraordinarily blood-red, dyeing everything into a blood-colored color, and through this blood, he seemed to be able to see the scene of the building tilting, wolf smoke everywhere, and flames everywhere.
"Oh God"
General Mack couldn't help but snort.
That's when it happened.
The presidential secretary walked in, and after a whisper around the president, Rick Brown. Archibald nodded.
The secretary turned on the TV in his office.
On the screen, it's a villa.
Suddenly, there was a light in the villa, and then there was an explosion in the villa, and screams and screams rang out.
In the blink of an eye, the villa was in ruins, with flames and smoke.
People struggled to crawl out of their villas, their bodies covered in bruises, some of their hands had been blown off, and some of their vital organs had been reduced to rotten flesh.
They were covered in blood, crying, wailing.
It was hell.
A moment later, from the ruins of the villa, a man walked out.
He was wearing a battle uniform and carrying a shield, at which point the camera zoomed in and gave him a close-up.
Immediately after, a voice sounded on the TV screen: "Ladies and gentlemen, do you see clearly? ”
"Isn't this the transhuman criminal who just destroyed Midtown a few days ago and killed several passers-by?"
"That's right, it's him."
"I won't admit to it."
"And yesterday, this superhuman criminal committed another heinous evil."
"He destroyed a house, resulting in the death of more than twenty people in the house and nearly thirty injuries of varying severity."
"Several of them died of serious injuries on the way to the hospital."
"And that's only a few days after he destroyed Midtown."
"I can't help but ask what the hell are the police in our federation doing."
"They let such dangerous criminals roam the outside."
"If you can't solve it, can you ask for help from the Tower of Seven and ask for help from the motherland."
"Is this how you waste our taxpayers' money?"
In the office, the president and everyone else were silent.
After a while.
Rick. Archibald said, "He's already attacking us. ”
The president sighed and said: "This news happened yesterday, but it was not reported yesterday, but it was not reported until now." ”
"With this news as a foundation, as long as the photos of me and the soldier boy meeting and shaking hands are exposed, I will not be able to be the president."
General Mack roared, "Mallory! ”
"It must be Mallory!"
"She is in charge of pulling the needle, and it must have been her who leaked this information to the people of the motherland."
"Otherwise, how would the people of the motherland know that Mr. President met with the soldier boy."
Rick. Archibald shook his head: "It's not her. ”
"Not anyone here, either."
"The people of the motherland should have obtained this information by other means."
"Mallory himself has fallen into the trap of the motherland."
"I can roughly resemble the plans of the motherland."
"He knew in advance that Soldier Boy was chasing and killing members of the 'Blood Debt and Blood Repayment' squad, and he also knew that Soldier Boy was going to kill the Dynamite Twins."
So he asked the reporter to squat and wait, and after the soldier boy was photographed, he pressed back to let the news appear.
"The purpose was to anesthetize Mallory and me so that today's meeting would go ahead as usual."
"Wait until you take a picture of me and the soldier boy and get the evidence, and then let this news appear to pave the way for the next more explosive news."
"That way, the headline of the news can be."
"The President meets with transhuman criminals plotting to kill the Savior, the Protector, the Federation General Motherland."
"That way, my reputation will hit rock bottom."
"Then I don't have many options left."
"Either declare war directly on the motherland."
"Either you can just leave your current position."
General Mack immediately said: "We must not let the motherland succeed!" ”
"Mr. President, once you leave your current position."
"It's not hard to look alike."
"The next person to sit in this position."
"It's not the motherland, it's also the person he arranged!"
Rick. Archibald nodded: "You're right, but General, how are we going to stop the Motherland?" ”
It's night.
In an unknown motel.
Mallory was drinking.
Cup after cup.
There was a knock on the door, followed by Francie's voice outside: "Madam, I've arrived." ”
Mallory opened the door with a smell of alcohol.
Frankie walked in and looked at the almost bottomed out vodka: "You're drinking too much." ”
Mallory smiled: "No matter how much you drink, the situation will not be worse than it is now." ”
Frankie shook his head and said: "It's not your fault, even if it's you, you can't predict that the motherland will appear at the military base." ”
Mallory sighed: "This time it's really a big fight. ”
Frankie asked, "What's next for you?" ”
"Me"
As soon as Mallory spoke, a news item appeared on the television screen.
The scene of the news is at the White House.
President Rick. Archibald stepped out, and a flash of light lit up.
Walked to the front of the stage, Rick. Archibald said in a deep voice: "Friends of journalists, as well as the audience in front of the screen, and the citizens of the Federation. ”
"I would like to take this opportunity to solemnly extend my 12 points of apology to the people of the motherland."
Immediately, there was another shutter sound on the screen.
Frankie was surprised: "What are you doing, Mr. President?" ”
"Today, the news of the military base has not come out, and he took the initiative to apologize to the motherland?"
"The motherland is not stupid, does he think he can fool the past?"
Mallory's face changed.
"Oops, we need to get out of here right now!"
Frankie was stunned: "Why, ma'am?" ”
"Mr. President, this is clearly trying to admit his mistake before the news of the motherland appears."
"But like you said, he personally commissioned the soldier boy to murder the Motherland at the scene."
"Even if you apologize first, can you fool the past?"
Mallory took out his pistol and said hurriedly: "Mr. President is not a fool. ”
"So he only has one way, and that is to find someone to carry this black cauldron."
"So who is suitable to carry this black cauldron?"
The voice fell.
French listened to the president on television: "I was deceived by Mallory, a former employee of the Ministry of Security, and I had a wrong judgment about the people of my country."
Frankie suddenly burst into a foul mouth: "Shit! (End of chapter)
