"Bumblebee..."

From a distance, Sam saw Bumblebee being heavily damaged. He screamed and quickly ran out of his hiding place, rushing towards the battlefield.

"Sam, go back quickly..."

Bumblebee's face looked grim. While remaining cautious of Sun Cheng, he turned slightly and sternly shouted at Sam, who was attempting to approach. Unexpectedly, his opponent was tough. He couldn't believe that within just a month, his opponent had acquired a weapon capable of inflicting such severe injuries.

Bumblebee eyed the plasma cannon in Sun Cheng's hand with some wariness. After a quick assessment, he frowned in disappointment. He couldn't find any similar weapon in his own database within the Decepticon ranks, leaving him uncertain about the origin of Sun Cheng's newly acquired energy weapon.

This also meant that as an Autobot intelligence expert, he couldn't determine who was backing Sun Cheng.

Clearly, Bumblebee hadn't realized that the Decepticon standing before him, who still held a considerable power gap compared to himself, was a rising force operating independently from the internal factions of the Decepticon army.

Sun Cheng glanced at Sam, the American boy who disregarded the warnings, and was getting closer to Bumblebee. A faint blue light flickered in his electronic eyes.

Taking advantage of the opponent's momentary distraction, Sun Cheng managed to disable Bumblebee's left arm with a single shot.

However, if the other party were to fight back fiercely, Sun Cheng would have no hesitation in turning around and fleeing.

Who was he kidding? He had only entered the world of mechanical life a few months ago, and engaging in a physical confrontation with the skilled Bumblebee was simply risking his life unnecessarily.

The tense standoff continued. Bumblebee became somewhat distracted by Sam's presence, worried that their battle might harm the young American. He decided to switch from offense to defense, silently positioning himself to shield the boy. Sun Cheng felt a slight relief and took the initiative to speak again.

"I came here with sincerity. Is this how you treat potential friends?"

"Shut up, Decepticon..."

Bumblebee coldly interrupted, "You're a ruthless villain, with blood on your hands, not even sparing the corpses of your comrades. The Autobots have no interest in cooperating with someone like you!"

Sun Cheng's expression changed slightly. It was evident that Ratchet had informed the other Autobot warriors about his act of decapitating Blackout.

This was not a good sign. Once this news spread, aside from the possibility of Starscream and Soundwave seeking retribution, Sun Cheng's greatest concern was Shockwave. After all, Blackout was his trusted right-hand man.

The mere thought of the Decepticon military commander, who held the majority of the Decepticon Legion's military might, arriving on Earth and learning about this incident was unsettling.

Sun Cheng realized that his future survival was uncertain.

Regret started to creep into his mind regarding his impulsive actions that day. However, he forcefully suppressed these thoughts as soon as they emerged.

What was he thinking? He had arrived from another world and started from scratch. Without the gains from the Battle of Las Vegas, who knows how many decades or centuries it would take for him to have the standing to raise his voice before the Autobots.

If I offend, so be it. As I continue to develop in the future, there's a possibility that I might surpass them and go even further.

In an instant, Sun Cheng's vision cleared, and without hesitation, he retorted, "What then? Should I leave behind the bodies of our proud warriors, just like how you betrayed Megatron and sold him out to humans for research? Shameless traitor..."

"Hmph... don't compare the Autobots to your Decepticons. Megatron has already been laid to rest..."

Bumblebee's eyes burned with anger, and he responded sarcastically almost immediately after Sun Cheng finished speaking.

In the next moment, Bumblebee seemed to realize that he had let slip some information. A clear expression of annoyance appeared on his face, and when he looked back at Sun Cheng, his intent to kill was no longer hidden.

Sun Cheng felt a jolt in his heart, and at the same time, his core started to beat rapidly.

Megatron was buried?!

This was an unexpected piece of information. Although Sun Cheng still had some doubts about Bumblebee's words, upon careful consideration, it seemed plausible.

One must understand that Megatron, as the true leader of the Decepticon Legion, emerged victorious in the second civil war, defeating the Autobots and driving them to flee to the remote corners of Cybertron and its satellites. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Megatron was the current ruler of Cybertron.

The Autobots may not endorse the rule of the Decepticons, but they certainly wouldn't allow the remains of the Cybertronian king to fall into the hands of humans for their research.

After all, this would not only be an affront to the Decepticon Legion but also an insult to Cybertronian civilization and all mechanical life.

"I just wonder if Megatron's memory chip was destroyed..."

Sun Cheng couldn't help but feel a bit greedy. He made a great effort to suppress these thoughts.

Putting aside the authenticity of this information, which he couldn't confirm at the moment, even the burial site of Megatron's body would not be easily obtained.

Without delay, after quickly regaining composure, he raised his head and looked at Bumblebee once again. "We all hail from Cybertron, and the Autobots are now preparing to settle on Earth. Earth is vast, can it not accommodate a few Decepticons? I come with a plea for peace, not every Decepticon desires only war..."

Bumblebee coldly stared at him, his expression unchanged, clearly not believing a single punctuation mark in his words.

On the other hand, Sam, who was being shielded by Bumblebee, glanced at Sun Cheng. Although fear and caution were evident in his eyes, his mouth slightly opened in surprise.

Bumblebee wasn't convinced, and Sun Cheng wasn't angered.

He had come here today solely to verify some hypotheses, but now that the test had turned into a confrontation, he no longer had any intention of staying.

In that moment, he already had the thought of evacuating!

However, unexpectedly, as soon as the thought emerged, Sun Cheng suddenly felt the Core, with its reconnaissance function fully activated, emitting a frantic alert sound.

With his heart pounding, he instinctively leaped backward!

The next moment, a tall and majestic giant descended from hundreds of meters above with an unstoppable force, crashing down at the exact spot where Sun Cheng had been standing.

The red and blue colors on the mechanical body of that giant were familiar and dazzling. Upon closer inspection, wasn't it the young leader of the Autobots, Optimus Prime?

Seeing that he hadn't been crushed, Optimus Prime's eyes flashed with a cold light. He raised his weapon and aimed it at Sun Cheng, his eyes filled with coldness and hatred, his icy killing intent piercing Sun Cheng's core, making him feel paralyzed.

Sun Cheng's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately understood.

Without wasting any more words, he leaped into the air and transformed back into his death drone form, activating full power, and swiftly flew away into the distance.

He now knew the Autobots' choice, and the possibility of becoming friends with them had vanished.

So, he was prepared to face the battle!
