American comics: Starting with replicating Superman's talent

Chapter 148 Hoover Dam and the Threat (Happy New Year's Eve)

Gino generally dislikes killing unless someone angers him or poses a threat to his family.

But as we all know, aliens are not human. Even Clark Kent, who is known for his righteousness, is ruthless when it comes to killing aliens. He kills them without hesitation. Not to mention that Batman's attitude towards aliens is also dominated by violent killing.

"Bang!"

Kicked the headless metal wreckage into the dense forest, Gino walked toward Bumblebee with his hands in his pockets.

"Now that the troublesome guy is out of the way, we can continue our cooperation discussions."

After a brief moment of surprise, Bumblebee came to its senses and quickly and obediently crouched down, trying to make its head look at Gino at eye level.

"Of course."

Compared to the respect shown before, Bumblebee's attitude at this moment clearly showed more awe.

Regardless of the species, reverence for the strong is something ingrained in their very being.

"Alright, now go and call your friends to Earth." Gino patted Bumblebee's cheek, then lightly leaped onto Bumblebee's shoulder. "Let's go."

Inside an abandoned factory.

Bumblebee strode towards a high slope, then the two headlights on its chest lit up, casting a bright light into the sky.

Gino wasn't sure what the purpose of this positioning method was, but it was probably a unique positioning and communication function of the Cybertronians.

Just a few minutes later, several meteorites streaked down from the sky, trailing fiery tails.

Not long after, several cars of various designs roared into the abandoned factory.

After a dazzling transformation with spectacular special effects, the towering Autobot leader Optimus Prime led a group of Autobots toward Gino and Bumblebee.

Optimus Prime strode over to Gino, who was perched on Bumblebee's shoulder, and respectfully extended his right arm.

"Bumblebee has already told us the whole story."

"We are very honored to have your friendship."

As the leader of the Autobots, Optimus Prime is not only incredibly strong, but most importantly, he's also very intelligent.

His calm demeanor and wise wisdom allow him to analyze the pros and cons with intelligence, and cooperating with Gino is undoubtedly the best solution for the Autobots.

"but."

The ambulance behind Optimus Prime hesitated before speaking, "Could we know your conditions?"

Just as humans know that there is no such thing as a free lunch, extraterrestrials also understand that cooperation must be based on mutual benefit.

"It's simple." Gino snapped his fingers, sat on Bumblebee's shoulder, and pondered for a moment before saying, "I know that the AllSpark on your Cybertronian planet can create technologically intelligent life."

"I will help you find the AllSpark and destroy your nemesis, Megatron."

"In exchange, I need you to help me create an intelligent life form that is loyal to me."

Gino revealed his intentions, and this was his main purpose in coming to the Transformers world.

Batman has the console's Brothers Eyes, Superman has the Lonely Fortress.

Therefore, one also needs strong and loyal technological support.

Lex is indeed useful, but it's not portable.

While directly seizing the AllSpark would be acceptable, the Cybertronian creatures created by the Decepticons and non-Autobots would only be mindless and insane life forms, which is not what Gino wants.

Upon hearing Gino's terms, Optimus Prime and his companions exchanged glances, then nodded slightly. He extended his hand respectfully and said, "Alright, if you can lead us to the AllSpark, then we are willing to create a powerful intelligent life form for you."

"Then, let's go."

Gino gently stepped off Bumblebee's shoulder, and the bio-force lifted him as he strolled in mid-air.

"Where to?"

The boy looked up into the distance and whispered, "Hoover Dam."

Hoover Dam, which began construction in 1936, is located at the confluence of the Nevada and Arizona Rivers.

From above, the dam is shaped like an "M," blocking the water flow while generating a continuous stream of electricity from the water.

No one would have imagined that a secret American agency would hide the AllSpark and the frozen Megatron here.

"Dude, seriously, our job is absolutely terrible."

Inside a secret base located beneath the Hoover Dam.

Two agents at the entrance, each holding a coffee, chatted casually.

"Low pay, lots of work, I really want to kick Mani's ass."

As the two were talking, the security guard who was drinking coffee in the monitoring room not far away sat up and looked at the computer monitoring video.

On the curb of the dam, a young man wearing sunglasses was walking toward the entrance with his hands in his pockets.

"Hey Bobby, Rant, there's something going on outside, you guys go check it out."

The two guards pressed their earpieces to reply that they had received the message, exchanged a glance, and then gripped their steel guns tightly.

"Beep beep~"

The steel-cast sensor gate opened.

At this moment, it was already dark at Hoover Dam, pitch black, and the only sound in the darkness was the rushing water.

"Where is the intruder?"

The two security guards took out flashlights from their backpacks and turned them on.

The beam of light dispelled the darkness, and soon they saw a figure slowly walking towards them.

"Hey! Military base, no entry!" An agent gripped the handle of his gun and chambered a round.

But the figure continued walking this way as if it hadn't heard anything.

"Shoot."

Another agent shook his head. As a special department, they had the right to kill any suspicious individuals who broke in.

The finger pulls the trigger, and the bullet whistles out of the barrel.

"Bang! Bang!"

Kinetic energy propelled the bullet's warhead through the air, piercing the figure.

However, it seemed as if they had hit some unknown barrier, or like an air wall, that the bullets shattered and exploded into bursts of sparks at a distance of tens of meters from the mysterious man.

"What, what's that? The security room, do you see it?"

One of the security guards stared wide-eyed, hardly believing what he was seeing.

The bullet, powerful enough to blow a person's head off, exploded just meters away from the intruder.

It was as if some invisible energy field was protecting the other party.

"I saw it. I've already notified headquarters for backup. Hold on!"

While one agent was communicating with his superior, another agent was firing continuously.

But just like before, the bullets seemed to be blocked by some inexplicable force, and they couldn't hit the boy in black at all.

As the blond youth drew closer, the agent snapped into his earpiece, yelling, "Hold on my ass! He's not even afraid of bullets!"

His breathing was rapid, and his chest heaved.

A spotlight fell not far away, illuminating the boy's figure.

Beneath his handsome face were eyes that held a smile.

However, the viscous energy field around them, which seemed almost tangible, surged into the surrounding air like a tsunami, rendering the two agents completely immobile.

The boy walked past the two men with an air of nonchalance, reached out and removed the communicators from their ears, and calmly said into the headset, "You have one minute to hand over the AllSpark and Megatron."

After saying that, Gino cast his gaze down at the lake and waterfall below the dam, squinting as he felt the breeze caressing his face. He stretched out his hand, letting the wind blow through his fingers, and without turning his head, he said to the two agents who were suppressed by the bio-field and looked like wooden figures, "The wind tonight is really refreshing."
