XXX-----XXX-----XXX-----XXX

The two combat robots that I transformed for the experiment were intended to test their fighting capabilities, but I didn't expect to encounter that guy Sideswipe as soon as they appeared.

As a result, nothing was tested, and instead, the two combat robots were damaged here.

Sun Cheng couldn't do anything about it because that guy Sideswipe left him with only one choice: to "run."

"Damn it, Sideswipe, how did he end up on Earth..."

He hurriedly headed towards the exit of the base, and Sun Cheng's face had already turned dark.

After assimilating the memory data of Frenzy, Jazz, and Blackout, Sideswipe became the Autobot warrior that Sun Cheng feared the most.

He couldn't fight back, at least not until he replaced his mechanical body!

Even with the plasma cannon equipped, Sun Cheng had some fighting power against Autobot warriors like Bumblebee.

But that was only under normal circumstances!

The mechanical beings of Cybertron, during their long-lasting civil war spanning millions of years, despite most Decepticon and Autobot warriors possessing impressive close combat abilities, the majority of the Autobots relied on their highly destructive large-caliber, heavy weaponry.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Sun Cheng represented that approach.

It was thanks to the power of the newly equipped plasma cannon that he managed to severely damage his opponent during their last encounter with Bumblebee.

However, Sideswipe was an exception.

He was a representative of the Autobot warriors who excelled in combat, brave, reckless, and eager for battle. Although he was skilled in various firearms and weapons, he chose to enhance his mobility and close-quarter combat capabilities.

Sun Cheng had no solution when facing Sideswipe.

Once caught by him, Sun Cheng's speed wasn't enough to shake him off.

If Sideswipe got close, his twin indestructible triangular-bladed knives would easily pierce through Sun Cheng's mechanical body armor.

At present, Sun Cheng was completely restrained by his opponent!

"Boom!"

Shortly after, an explosion resonated from behind, and Sun Cheng knew that it was caused by the explosives he had recently placed.

However, he was aware that although the explosion might have caused that particular section of the passage to collapse, it would, at most, force Sideswipe to take a longer route.

During the initial construction by the U.S. military, the base's interior was designed with multiple interconnected pathways, and the main passages were spacious enough to accommodate Sideswipe's transformation back into his car form, allowing him to pursue Sun Cheng all the way.

Now that his position was locked by his opponent, given Sideswipe's maneuverability, he would soon catch up.

"Damn it!"

For safety purposes, Sun Cheng had the Decepticon engineers dig two new escape routes after seizing control of the abandoned U.S. nuclear missile silo.

There are two hidden passages, one of which is located on the other side of the base and is over twenty kilometers long. It took a lot of effort for the engineers to dig it out, and that's where Sun Cheng is heading now.

It can be said that if he can reach that place and transform back into a drone, he can completely escape Sideswipe's pursuit.

However, it will only take him two minutes to get there from here.

On the other hand, the other passage is the complete opposite. Its entrance is inside Laboratory No. 1, and the passage is less than two kilometers long, leading to the nuclear missile launch silo.

Yes, it's the same silo that Ironhide passed through when entering the base.

No one would have expected that Sun Cheng would have the engineers dig a passage, and the exit of that hidden passage is actually somewhere on the wall of that silo.

His mind is racing, and his face shows an uncertain grimace.

The Core, with its scanning function fully activated, is already pulsating intensely as Sideswipe gets closer.

Sun Cheng now has to abandon the safe passage he had prepared in advance because he knows that Sideswipe will catch up with him within two minutes.

However, he is unable to ascertain the safety of the other passage at the moment.

The previous explosion has destroyed all the surveillance equipment he had set up outside the missile launch silo.

Sun Cheng is currently unable to determine the situation outside. He worries that there might be an ambush since Ironhide entered the base through the tampered silo.

After hesitating for just over ten seconds, Sun Cheng has to make a decision. He waves his hand, releasing a team of miniature scouts and orders them to fly towards the silo.

Meanwhile, he quickly rushes towards Laboratory No. 1.

Sideswipe arrived faster than expected. Sun Cheng had just rushed to the location of the laboratory when he immediately heard the roaring sound of an engine.

He looked up and immediately spotted a silver-gray Chevrolet sports car coming straight towards him from the other side of the passage, about twenty meters away.

Sun Cheng's expression changed slightly, and he quickly summoned his plasma cannon, raising his hand to aim and fired a shot.

"Bang..."

The oncoming blast caused the Chevrolet sports car to leap up, evading his attack with agility and transforming in mid-air.

"Heh, a Decepticon minion. Hand over Mudflap..."

Feeling the pressure approaching, Sun Cheng's face turned serious. He raised his hand and launched two consecutive shots, then quickly rolled on the ground, reaching the entrance of the laboratory, and immediately rushed inside.

"Where do you think you're running to..."

Sideswipe, still deftly dodging Sun Cheng's cannonfire, swung his two triangular blades, his eyes gleaming with a blood-red light. He swiftly followed Sun Cheng into the laboratory.

As soon as he entered the spacious laboratory, Sideswipe involuntarily narrowed his eyes.

Without waiting for any retaliation from Sun Cheng, in Sideswipe's line of sight, Sun Cheng had already sprinted with all his might to the other side of the laboratory, creating a considerable distance between them.

"Let's see where you're going!"

With a cold smile, Sideswipe wielded the blade in his right hand, opting not to transform back into his car form.

Assuming a running stance, Sideswipe's movements were as smooth as if he were wearing ice skates, displaying a speed in combat mode that rivaled his speed in car mode. With a roaring wind, he pursued Sun Cheng ahead.

"Damn it..."

The howling wind behind him didn't require Core to remind him; Sun Cheng was well aware of the danger he was in.

Unable to contain himself, he cursed under his breath. With his life hanging by a thread, he didn't care about energy consumption. He turned around, raised his hand, and fired two shots, only to find that he couldn't halt Sideswipe's approach.

Sun Cheng gritted his teeth and summoned two more Decepticon engineers from the spherical space, flinging them aside.

Then, he himself dashed into the concealed passage at the end of Laboratory No. 1 with all his might.

As soon as Sun Cheng summoned the two Decepticon engineers from the spherical space, their consciousness was reawakened.

They had barely opened their eyes and hadn't even reacted when they heard a cold snort.

Instinctively, they turned their heads and saw two triangular blades looming right in front of them.

Before they could comprehend what was happening, Sideswipe swiftly impaled both Decepticon engineers, lifting them up in front of him.

A wicked smile appeared on his face. He glanced at the engineers for a moment and then tossed them aside.

Looking back at the entrance of the passage where Sun Cheng disappeared, Sideswipe quickly resumed his pursuit, leaving behind a low, self-congratulatory remark, "Damn, I'm so strong!"
