Although Las Vegas, the gambling capital, is a relatively new city developed after World War II in the United States, due to its unique background, the city has been plagued by gangs and villains since its inception. Coupled with the American attitude towards private ownership of weapons, it has created an international gambling city that is both a paradise and a hell.

Due to continuous murders, feuds, and gang disturbances, the Nevada state government has ordered a National Guard unit to be stationed in the suburbs of Las Vegas to suppress the chaos since the 1950s. The 119th Attack Helicopter Regiment and the Air Force's 30th Space Squadron, which Sun Cheng had previously discovered, were called to Las Vegas and temporarily stationed at the National Guard base.

After learning about the information of All Spark from the newly transformed Decepticon who was accidentally captured, Sun Cheng quickly left the city and flew to the National Guard base in the southwest desert of Las Vegas.

Not long ago, Onslaught had launched a round of long-range shelling here to invade the seventh district. Although Sun Cheng believed in his strength, he did not completely let go of his guard.

The 119th Attack Helicopter Regiment from the National Guard was okay. According to his previous reconnaissance, this unit had almost completely settled in Las Vegas before the attack because it was being adjusted within the state.

However, it was uncertain for the American Air Force's 30th Space Squadron, as the requirements for the landing site for fighter jets were higher than those for helicopters. During his previous investigation, he only heard that a subordinate squadron belonging to the 30th Air Force Squadron had settled in Las Vegas, and the rest were temporarily stationed in a larger military base nearby.

"Area 51..."

Thinking of the main force of the American Air Force's 30th Space Squadron, which might have been preserved, Sun Cheng felt a bit uneasy.

The world-famous Area 51 is located within the territory of Las Vegas, but it is now part of Lincoln County and no longer belongs to the state of Nevada but to the federal government of the United States.

This place is not the secret base of the US government for researching aliens as rumored outside, as the seventh district is.

According to the information Sun Cheng obtained from invading the national defense network, it was initially one of the test sites selected by the US government in Nevada for nuclear testing.

After making adjustments, the Department of Defense changed it to a new type of aircraft research and test site. The US military not only attracts technical personnel from across the country to study more advanced military weapons here but also conducts secret tests of advanced aircraft and missiles developed by US aviation and aerospace giants such as Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Raytheon.

Therefore, Area 51 should be one of the most heavily guarded military bases in the United States. From the ground radar station to the underground sensors to the densely deployed missile defense system, all demonstrate the US military's importance to this place.

This is also one of the things Sun Cheng is more worried about!

From the previous conflicts, Autobots do not know when they joined forces with Americans. If All Spark is really sent to Area 51, where there is strict defense and Autobots help to restrain Megatron, Onslaught, and Blackout, even if they team up to attack, it may not necessarily work.

In the midst of his worries, a few smoke pillars appeared vaguely, and Sun Cheng carefully distinguished and confirmed that the smoke pillars, which were still burning, were located where he needed to go, the National Guard base.

He quickly threw all those complicated thoughts out of his head and flew towards it.

Looking down from a height of ten thousand meters, human activities on the ground were hardly visible, like ants running and crawling.

Sun Cheng did not capture the electromagnetic waves emitted by the radar, and he had some thoughts in his mind.

It seems that the effect of Onslaught's sudden attack before entering the seventh district was extraordinary. Most of the forces originally stationed in this base were probably destroyed.

He was about to lower his altitude, but suddenly felt as if his mechanical body was swept by a wave of fluctuations, and then his core was locked like he was being targeted by some mechanical life.

Sun Cheng quickly realized that he was being locked by some mechanical life, and he cautiously circled in the sky at high altitude.

After about thirty or forty seconds, accompanied by a sonic boom from the distance, a flying object that was different in shape from any aircraft on Earth and obviously larger appeared within Sun Cheng's core scanning range.

"Megatron..."

Sun Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, but then became uneasy again.

"Now, tell me where the All Spark is?" Almost the next second, Megatron appeared beside him, flying around him with a deep voice still carrying his lingering anger.

"Your Highness Megatron, the All Spark should have been brought to this base by the humans. I was just caught up by a team of human fighter jets and only found my way here after the battle was over!"

He answered uneasily. The humans seemed to have used some means, as Sun Cheng had not been able to detect the fluctuations of the All Spark since earlier.

Obviously, he was very worried that this answer would not satisfy Megatron.

But what surprised him was that after hearing the answer, Megatron did not say anything and simply dived down and rushed towards the ground. When he was about ten meters away from the ground, he suddenly transformed back into his humanoid form and landed. Then the ground quickly reverberated with the sound of explosions.

Seeing this, Sun Cheng thought he was just blinded by the All Spark and followed him down to the ground.

As soon as he landed, he was greeted by a barrage of shells.

Naturally, these shells were not aimed at him, but Sun Cheng had landed in the wrong spot.

He quickly rolled on the ground to avoid a shell that would have landed near his landing point. Then he followed the trajectory of the shell and soon found several M60 tanks a few hundred meters away.

"The National Guard..."

The US regular army had long since eliminated these second-generation tanks and started using the updated M1 series tanks. Seeing them still being used domestically meant they were probably used by the National Guard.

He tried to summon the Vulcan Cannon and aimed it at one of the M60 tanks a few hundred meters away. With a sweep of his hand, a whistling energy projectile hit the armor of the tank, emitting a low roar. After three rounds of shooting, he saw the tank explode in a burst of flames.

"This efficiency..."

Although the Vulcan Cannon, strengthened by the All Spark, had impressive power, Sun Cheng was just casually shooting from afar and was able to destroy an M60 tank like Megatron did. The new weapon he had been so satisfied with suddenly looked a bit inferior.
