As soon as he entered the underground karst cave, before he reached the warehouse, Sun Cheng saw a gloomy, scowling face wandering around the base.

It's Dust Up!

This freshman Decepticon, which Sun Cheng captured in Brazil not long ago, is currently trapped in the second base by him.

Indeed, he's trapped, no doubt about it!

The reason? Just look at the four battle robots and Hysteria who are following him closely.

In the entire No. 2 base, no one can counter Dust Up except Sun Cheng.

And it's unfortunate that Sun Cheng wanted to keep his contact with China and Russia a secret for as long as possible, even if it's just for another month. It would bring countless benefits to him.

That's why he didn't let Dust Up become aware of it.

Before the trip to Beigang, Sun Cheng left Dust Up behind. In order to prevent this guy from causing trouble, he had left many secret measures. In addition to deploying some means within Dust Up's Core to temporarily disable his long-range communication function, Hysteria also acquired control mechanisms from him to restrain Dust Up. This is why Dust Up has been wandering around the base with a gloomy face.

Upon seeing Sun Cheng, Dust Up quickly turned his head and walked to the other side of the base.

He is not willingly surrendering to Sun Cheng, and Sun Cheng is well aware of that.

Observing Dust Up's vexed appearance, Sun Cheng simply narrowed his eyes and stared at the back of Dust Up. After a brief pause, he turned away.

One more month!

At most, just one more month!

Once his new mechanical body is completed, not only Dust Up, but even Barricade, Bumblebee, or Sideswipe if they dare to come, Sun Cheng is confident enough to make them suffer a great loss.

By that time, as long as Dust Up isn't a fool, he should understand who the right choice to pledge allegiance to is!

The warehouse of the No. 2 base is actually a vast underground space within the karst cave, spanning several football fields.

Originally, Sun Cheng planned to use it as his own laboratory!

However, later on, in order to accommodate the hunter's spaceship, they chose this space as the most spacious one within the entire No. 2 base.

Taking matters into his own hands, Sun Cheng personally designed it. With the assistance of Atlas, he had the engineers reinforce and equip the space with anti-seismic measures. Now, it serves as the base's warehouse.

Due to the ample space in the warehouse, Sun Cheng decided to carve out a corner for himself. The engineers used reinforced concrete to construct a private storage room.

The entrance of the warehouse has been sealed by a large door made of high-strength alloy steel.

However, it's not a sophisticated password-protected door. It's merely a heavy and cumbersome door.

The real guardians of the warehouse are two battle robots stationed both inside and outside. Sun Cheng personally designed their internal security system, drawing inspiration from the security systems of Decepticon Legion fortresses, as recorded in Frenzy's memory data.

Even in the event of an intrusion, with the support of the four battle robots, they would be able to issue timely warnings, at the very least!

Just as Sun Cheng approached the warehouse, he was targeted by four scanning beams.

Allowing the two vigilant battle robots to scan him, and once they verified his identity, they all stepped back. Simultaneously, a set of traction systems designed by the engineers gradually closed the heavy alloy gate into the adjacent wall.

Without paying any attention to the two guarding battle robots inside the warehouse, Sun Cheng walked straight into the warehouse.

He chose a spacious area near the cave entrance and, with a wave of his hand, retrieved thousands of tons of finished metal ingots from the spherical space. He then found an empty space nearby and extracted the processed enriched uranium provided by the Russian side.

After completing everything cautiously, he suddenly realized and couldn't help but smile.

Nuclear radiation, such a thing, naturally has an impact on the mechanical beings as well.

But compared to humans, that impact is practically nothing.

After setting down the items, Sun Cheng took a deep breath, intending to leave. Suddenly, as if remembering something, he swiftly left the warehouse and headed towards his laboratory.

Without a doubt, the most heavily guarded area within the entire base is the location of Sun Cheng's laboratory.

Sun Cheng's laboratory is situated deep within the base, likely hundreds of meters below the ground, and several kilometers away from the cave entrance.

Similar to the warehouse, his laboratory was originally a naturally formed underground cave, sculpted by nature's extraordinary craftsmanship.

However, his laboratory is not as vast as the warehouse. Initially, the naturally formed cave was only the size of less than two standard basketball courts.

It was later that Sun Cheng took an interest in this place, and Atlas assigned some engineers to work here, resulting in its current spaciousness, comparable to that of a standard football field.

Since it is his laboratory, the defense measures are naturally not simple. Sun Cheng personally designed a complete security system, operated by the computing machine he obtained from Onslaught. If anyone, without his permission, approaches Atlas and the others, they will be warned.

In the event of a violent invasion, the supercomputer, imbued with considerable intelligence and created by Cybertron, will automatically send a distress signal to Sun Cheng. The security here is no less stringent than that of the warehouse.

Upon arriving at the laboratory's entrance, the door immediately opened.

Sun Cheng was not surprised by this and casually entered.

As soon as he stepped into the laboratory, the previously dark space suddenly illuminated.

A cold mechanical voice followed, "Master, you have returned..."

Following the sound, Sun Cheng noticed a projected figure of a young man on one side of the laboratory—a peculiar-looking machine.

The voice he just heard came from the computer that Onslaught had transferred to him. It is now referred to as 'Phantom,' a supercomputer manufactured by Cybertron, possessing remarkable artificial intelligence.

"I have returned..."

Sun Cheng briefly paused, gazing at the image of the young man projected by 'Phantom.' He couldn't help but feel something strange.

The image used by Phantom is one of the few photographs stored in its database, featuring Sun Cheng himself.

As a result, every time 'Phantom' uses his real-world image for projection, Sun Cheng can't help but feel a peculiar sensation.

Unfortunately, 'Phantom' is unaware of this and continues to use its emotionless, hollow mechanical voice, asking, "Master, I have made four modifications to the No. 1 research topic you left behind. The No. 2 research topic is still being pursued... However, yesterday, I discovered some changes in the No. 3 research topic. Do you need to take a look?"

The moment the mechanical voice fell silent, Sun Cheng's expression suddenly changed!
