Transformers: Survival of Defective Products

Half a game before the start of the game, Bumblebee and Deadfire arrived at the newly discovered energy reaction zone.

This is an abandoned mining area. The Cybertronian energy response in the detector is weak, but very stable.

After the second batch of Earth dispatch teams arrived, to ensure fairness, all machines had to follow the new cross-survey rules. The Autobots and Decepticons each sent one machine to confirm, so as to avoid one side later suspecting the other side of concealing mining sites.

Bumblebee was responsible for reconnaissance, while Deadfire completed the subsequent sampling.

Bumblebee walked along the abandoned mine tunnel, with Deadfire following behind, their massive size crowding the narrow tunnel around them.

The two aircraft occasionally exchanged barbs, but mostly remained silent as they moved along.

Just then, the detector in Bumblebee's hand suddenly flickered, and the energy response shifted.

The readings that were just stable suddenly started jumping around like a bad signal.

Bumblebee instantly realized something was wrong, and Deadfire immediately went into battle mode.

Before the two planes could turn around and run towards the exit, a huge, piercing noise came from the communication channel.

Bumblebee immediately tried to contact the base, but only received static.

At the same time, heavy metal isolation doors were lowered on both sides of the mine tunnel, completely blocking the escape route.

-

Silas sat in the remote command vehicle, looking at two red targets on the screen.

This time, he was much better prepared than last time.

There's no need to repeat the same mistake; now his prey and plans seem to be within easy reach.

-

A blinding white light suddenly shone inside the mine tunnel, and several nerve interference nails shot out from the wall.

Bumblebee moved quickly, instantly flipping over to avoid the first wave, while Deadfire also tried to dodge some by turning to the side.

"It's this stuff again!"

He instantly recognized these as the same paralyzing weapons from last time, so he simply punched the visible firing port, destroying a portion of them first.

Bumblebee rushed toward the sealed gate, attempting to forcefully dismantle it, but before it could even touch the gate, all the devices in the ground and walls were finally fully activated.

Silas adjusted the paralysis method based on the Cybertronian neural circuit data collected in the last operation.

"These humans—"

The second round of interference spikes is a whole sheet.

Bumblebee dodged most of the bullets, but several still managed to pierce its body.

Just as Deadfire was about to force his way out with Bumblebee in his arms, he saw a bomb beeping overhead.

In an instant, flames engulfed the mine tunnel. The power wasn't great enough to kill, but large swathes of rocks fell, forcibly restricting their movement.

A few minutes later, both planes crashed to the ground.

-

When Yin Xiang and others arrived, the mining area was already deserted.

There were only blast marks and scattered paralyzing needles on the ground.

The ambulance driver picked one up, his face grim: "Same type as last time."

The vectoring palm touched the ground, and the magnetic field rapidly expanded outwards, but it didn't collect any useful information; the mech special forces had obviously taken special precautions.

The acoustic wave analysis was also transmitted simultaneously.

[Communication jamming devices and multiple sets of falsified transport tracks were present at the scene.]

Jiuqi frowned: "Deliberately leaving false clues?"

"You've learned your lesson," Yin Xiang said with a cold laugh, his anger burning uncontrollably.

Silas learned too quickly, and he came prepared.

Optimus Prime observed the fake energy reaction and discovered that even the so-called energy reaction was fake: "This is man-made."

The vector suddenly looked up: "How did they know our detection standards?"

The scene was deathly silent; everyone looked terrible.

Fuller's communication came through at that moment: "I might know."

-

A portion of the Cybertronian Cooperation Database belonging to the human government has been compromised.

The government needs to handle Cybertronian incidents and also needs to provide a small number of technical, medical, and security personnel with an understanding of the basic structure of Cybertronians, so there are some basic physiological records in the database.

The structure of the machine, the range of energy response, the mining area survey signals, and the deformable gears.

The moment Yin Vector saw the access records, his face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

Fuller, unusually, seemed a little guilty: "We have blocked the database and are tracing the source of the intrusion."

"When was it stolen?" "After the nuclear weapons incident."

Silas had been studying these things for a while, and he didn't know whether to fly into a rage and curse or to sneer in anger; he just wanted to smash this makeshift operation.

The sound waves accessed the data breach list and retrieved a document that Silas had repeatedly read.

[Transforming Gear: A crucial structure used by Cybertronian lifeforms to achieve form transformations.]

The following is Bumblebee's collaboration record.

Bumblebee

Earth Mimicry: High-Performance Sports Car

It has high mobility, a medium and compact size, and a stable deformable structure.

"Deadfire was their target last time," she spat out through gritted teeth. "As for Bumblebee..."

The ambulance driver stared at the access log: "They need to transform the gears."

-

The transport vehicle of the mech special operations team maintained high speed, and the interior of the vehicle was specially shielded.

The two unconscious Cybertronians were separated and secured.

Silas sat in another command vehicle, ready to give orders.

Human engineering has been developing, but it has never been able to break through the threshold of mechanical life. Now he finally has a ready-made mechanical life that can think and transform.

Humans should be able to manufacture it too.

Silas glanced at the two machines that were about to undergo surgery, but his gaze was still drawn to the deep purple mechanical life on another screen.

He wanted the vector, but directly targeting her now was too risky.

Silas shifted his gaze back to the two machines: "Prepare for surgery."

-

Before the mech special operations team was completely disconnected from the network, Soundwave intercepted some internal data.

The footage lasts only a few seconds, showing Bumblebee and Deadfire being strapped to surgical frames.

A gash had been cut into the bumblebee's abdominal armor, and the cutter was slowly approaching the deformed gear.

The cutting device on the other side of the dead fire has also been fitted with outer armor and is dangerously close to the head.

The screen then went black, the other side shut down the network, the mobile experimental base switched to an internal closed system, and even abandoned all long-distance communication.

Human technology is far inferior to Cybertronian technology. Even for Cybertronians, it would take time to find a base that can be completely disconnected from the internet and is still moving at high speed.

Moreover, Silas had prepared a fake route in advance, and after comparing and analyzing the sound waves, he locked down the last relative coordinates and direction of movement.

After watching the video, Optimus Prime, his battle mask already covering his mouth, said, "Open the land bridge."

When Megatron saw Deadfire strapped to the operating table, his red optical mirror suddenly burst into a raging flame.

"They actually dared to use the Decepticons as experimental subjects."

So both leaders personally went after them.

-

Inside the temporary judicial liaison point, the vectoring device remained stationary as the system reviewed the final image captured by the sound waves several times.

In four minutes, or even just a few minutes, Bumblebee and Deadfire could become obsolete.

The surgical equipment has been attached, and they've pinpointed the location of Bumblebee's transforming gears; Deadfire's head is practically cracked open.

Even if Optimus Prime and Megatron chase in the right direction, by the time they catch up, it will be too late.

With a grim expression, Yin Vector shut down the communication: "97, prepare the medical room."

971: [Have you found them?]

"almost."

Without offering much explanation, he turned and went into the secure room, where the door closed and access was locked.

-

After the liaison point was expanded, there were many more supplies and equipment, and some of the old and new maintenance floors were not completely sealed off.

In the distance, from the maintenance pipeline, a familiar little mechanical shadow peeks out from behind a gap and stops behind a narrow maintenance seam.

It sensed something new here, something that seemed to have some value.

So I watched from a distance, almost without making a sound.

-

The vector opened the hidden compartment inside its own body, and a section of the blade hilt fell into its palm.

The Blade of Time.

Yin Tianxing had given it to her before, through the Ultimate Divine Key.

She tried it secretly once later, and it worked very well, so she didn't dare to use it indiscriminately.

The vector-directed closed optical mirror.

She knew where she was going: the mobile experimental base of the mecha special forces, a real place that was on the move.

The sound waves have just provided a relatively clear direction of movement and internal images.

The Blade of Time does not require her to input a fixed latitude and longitude or specific coordinates.

All she needed to know was where she was going.

The vector opened its eyes and slashed down.

A thin beam of light first appeared in the air, and then the light split open.

Reality itself is like a piece of cloth, cut open by a knife.

The crack edge shifted slightly, and she reached in, pried it open, and pulled it apart.

The operating room lights at the other end were blinding, and Bumblebee and Deadfire were there.

The mobile base was still moving at high speed, but the crack was directly and stably embedded into the base.

Inside the maintenance pipeline, a tiny mechanical shadow tilted its head, quietly recorded everything, and then silently left.

-

Just as the staff were about to cut open the dead fire's head, the air suddenly burst open.

Everyone stopped what they were doing.

A hand reached in, tearing open the edge of the rift, followed by a foot stomping hard on the mobile base, making the entire base seem to tremble.

Finally, a pair of cyan-blue optical lenses appeared.

No one dared to speak.

First, let's look at the two machines on the operating table.

Bumblebee's armor was partially torn open, and Deadfire also had many cut marks on its body, but both were still alive.

The next instant, the entire surgical area suddenly lost its weight.

Several humans were caught off guard and floated off the ground. The equipment in their hands slipped from their grasp, and scalpels, guns, and robotic arms all came to a stop in mid-air.

The weapons flew to one side in an instant, and the cutting equipment was forcibly stopped.

Several members of the mech special operations team were also firmly fixed to the wall, directly nailed into the wall, and then casually thrown out of the metal wall by the magnetic attraction vector, landing on a nearby road, still alive.

Throughout the entire space, only the vector was on the ground, and suddenly all directions were determined by her.

-

The moment Silas saw the footage from the nearby command vehicle, his expression changed drastically.

How did she get in? How could she have entered so silently, like a ghost breaking through space?

"withdraw."

The deputy made a last-ditch effort: "But the experimental base requires investment—"

"No, I don't want it."

Silas jerked the steering wheel: "Let's go."

-

The primary task of the vector is to save the situation.

The magnetic force instantly ripped the clasps off Bumblebee and Deadfire, lifting the two machines up from either side.

Bumblebee barely managed to open his optical scope, and paused for a moment when he saw her: "Attraction Vector..."

The vector remained silent, quickly scanning his and Deadfire's life signals.

Although the outer armor was damaged, at least the interior was not opened.

With a flick of her wrist, she sent the bumblebee into the unclosed spacetime rift.

"97, receive!"

The judicial liaison point was immediately thrown into chaos.

"What—Bumblebee!?"

Immediately afterwards, the dead fire also flew in.

"Wait, where did that come from?!"

Despite his flustered demeanor, Nine-Seven caught the wounded soldier and immediately sent the message "Rescued" to Optimus Prime and Megatron, who were still on the trail.

Both sides then turned to Silas's possible evacuation route.

"Check first." She didn't have time to explain. After both machines were safe, she turned to look in the direction Silas had fled.

His face was now only cold and furious.

-

The mobile experimental base attempted an emergency evacuation, and Silas's command vehicle also withdrew ahead of schedule.

Everyone was fleeing in terror. The gravitational vector started moving from the center of the operating area toward the rear of the vehicle, and the magnetic field spread throughout the entire mobile base.

The armor plates made a sickening, twisting sound as they were ripped off piece by piece.

The weapon system was pulled out of its base, the antenna broke off, the wheels were abruptly stopped on the road, sparking, and even the propulsion system was forcibly shut down.

The massive mobile base was dismantled as if by an invisible giant hand.

As the gravitational vector moved forward, everything behind it twisted and deformed, and the humans who had not yet evacuated were lifted out by the gravitational field.

In less than a few minutes, the mobile experimental base was reduced to a pile of metal ruins.

Next up is Silas.

The purple machine suddenly folded up, and like a heavy motorcycle being launched by the magnetic levitation ring, it burst out from the gap in the ruins.

-

The command vehicle had already accelerated to its limit, and the deputy kept an eye on the rear surveillance cameras.

At first, it was empty, but a few seconds later a bluish-green light suddenly appeared in the distance.

"She's catching up!" the deputy blurted out, barely able to contain his voice.

Silas glanced back at it before looking away, his face extremely grim.

The maglev motorcycle was approaching at high speed along the road. Because of its speed, Silas could even vaguely see the sonic boom trail behind her. At this moment, she was like a shooting star flying close to the ground.

The distance is rapidly reduced, from kilometers to hundreds of meters.

Silas gritted his teeth and said, "Accelerate."

Unfortunately, it was no use; the magnetic field of the gravitational vector reached his command vehicle.

The car body suddenly sank, the chassis was slammed down, the tires screeched, and the speed began to drop uncontrollably.

Even if they floored the accelerator and the engine roared, they could only watch helplessly as the speedometer dropped.

最后

squeak--

The purple vehicle simultaneously slowed down, transformed, and landed.

He stepped forward and grabbed the roof with his palm, causing the entire car to sink and the roof to cave in.

No one spoke in the driver's cab, only the faint, trembling breaths that the driver was trying to control.

She slowly bent down, half-squatting, until her face gradually lowered to the height of the windshield.

Silas sat inside, his eyes meeting those blue-green optical glasses through the glass and the swirling dust.

That patch of blue seemed to have lost all its warmth, like a frosty pool, exuding a bone-chilling cold and a raging fury within.

Silas finally realized that he seemed to have messed with someone he shouldn't have.
