Chapter 132 Sidestep: We Split Up
The next morning, everyone began to tidy up the scrap yard to make room for their soon-to-arrive new companions.
However, when they asked Bumblebee who he was going to pick up, Bumblebee smiled and told them that he would leave them with a surprise.
It certainly left plenty of suspense.
Nothing much happened in the morning, but in the afternoon, the Black-Faced God detected the fugitive's signal, this time inside the subway tracks.
On the way to the reconnaissance, Sidewinder seemed to find Iron Wrist, who was dragging a steel chain, too slow and actually managed to leave the main force behind and arrive at the subway ahead of time.
Bumblebee was also helpless; he couldn't shake off Iron Fist and Sideswipe behind him, so he could only tell Sideswipe to be careful.
And then? And then, unsurprisingly, another unexpected event is bound to happen.
Sideswipe was clearly treating this reconnaissance like a competition, only caring about who could get there faster, while ignoring the possibility of Decepticons lurking in the area.
As a result, they were tricked by the Decepticons and kidnapped to a laboratory in the underground rails.
Another one who disobeyed orders and caused an accident...
In Bumblebee's daily routine, in addition to capturing fugitives, he also has the added task of rescuing a sidekick.
Once they entered the subway, Bumblebee and Iron Man split into two groups: Bumblebee and Blackface in one group, and Iron Man and Grimlock in the other.
Hmm... there was another person who also split up today, like Hengpao.
He had already undergone a transplant surgery on a spinal dragon, and he had swapped his head onto a sideswipe, placing the sideswipe's head in a nutrient tank.
Good news, the side gun is temporarily safe; bad news, we're splitting up.
So Blackface also discovered the signals of two Sideswipes in the vicinity, and they first encountered the Spinosaurus that had obtained the Sideswipe's body.
Having acquired a new body, the Spinosaurus's speed has clearly increased dramatically. Bumblebee, mindful of Sideswipe's body, didn't attack with full force, resulting in the Spinosaurus escaping.
Through the data found by Blackface, they learned about the background of these Decepticon prisoners, such as learning alien technology, undergoing unapproved transplant surgery, and then being imprisoned in the Tomb of Ai.
Bumblebee is a little worried about Sideswipe's condition, but since there's a signal, it should be fine, right?
Helpless, they could only continue to search deeper and deeper for the other part of Sideswipe. When Bumblebee found Sideswipe's head in the nutrient solution, he was not surprised at all.
Oh, on the contrary, Bumblebee was relieved that nothing had happened, and his face showed a relieved expression, completely different from the horrified expression on the face of the black-faced god next to him.
Compared to this, it actually makes you think that Bumblebee isn't a normal machine. Seriously, who would look relieved after seeing this?!
It was a single, living head floating in the jar!
At this moment, Sideswipe revealed a somewhat indescribable expression, as if he had seen some monster with an even stronger capacity for acceptance than Russell.
Like I said before, do you even understand the significance of the Decepticon Base Mystery on the 24th?
In short, they met up with the can containing Sideswipe's head, Iron Fist, and Grimlock, and unsurprisingly, Bumblebee still seemed to be accepting it well.
Iron Fist was initially startled, while Steellock was stunned, but fortunately they eventually managed to defeat the Spinal Dragon.
Because Sideswipe's head could still sense some of the body's condition, it successfully knocked out the Spinosaurus through prediction, and then had Blackface temporarily switch Sideswipe's head back.
However... Blackface God wasn't familiar with the head-swapping technique and couldn't guarantee he could connect all the parts correctly. A more detailed check would have to be done back at the base.
The consequence of not being able to transform is that he can't. Actually, this is a minor matter, at least he survived. But as soon as Sideswipe got his head back, ignoring Blackface's words, he actually made a bet with Iron Fist.
They bet on who gets back to the scrap yard first.
Unsurprisingly, because he couldn't transform and couldn't use his most prized speed, he lost on the spot and was relegated to taking over Iron Fist's shift for a week.
This serves as a lesson for Sidewinder: don't be reckless, and don't rush ahead and stray far from the main force.
Back at the junkyard that night, Sideswipe's head was finally repaired and he was full of energy again. He refused to rest and insisted on going to pick up "guests" with Bumblebee.
Upon arriving at their destination, the group felt something was amiss. They hadn't seen any spaceships. Bumblebee didn't offer any explanation, simply telling them to wait where they were.
He then walked towards a hole.
It's a shame they didn't have that little flag, otherwise they could [This seems really strange]
-
When Rosa is upgrading components, there are occasional instances where there is a slight signal. Isn't that strange? It is indeed strange.
The internet connection was intermittent, but at least I could let them know I was safe, which was enough.
She couldn't feel anything outside during the upgrade process. The only thing she could do was play the single-player game that her dad had transferred to her when she lost her Canadian status in the Decepticon Fortress.
And finally today, with the components upgraded, she was able to restart again.
Upon restarting, she looked around and subconsciously thought of a terrifying puzzle game where she was locked in a coffin with a dead person next to her, and she had to escape.
She really thought she was locked in a coffin, but soon discovered that there seemed to be a button next to her that could directly open the "coffin lid," and there was also armor around her.
Hmm... thinking about it carefully, the clothes from before must have been stretched to burst during the growth process, so this current state is quite reasonable.
She quietly put on her armor and opened the "coffin," where she immediately saw the Cybertronians who had been waiting for her.
Rosa froze for a moment, seemingly not expecting there to be other machines nearby, and... for some reason, she felt she had definitely seen this unfamiliar machine somewhere before, but couldn't quite place it.
Because she was certain she had never seen him.
"Rosa!" After a long separation, Bumblebee approached Rosa from the wall upon seeing her awake. His intention was to inform her of the situation and confirm that she was alright.
The moment he took a step, a blue solver symbol appeared on him and began to spin.
"boom--!"
The enormous impact slammed him against the wall, sending dust flying everywhere.
"Luo...I...cough, it's Bumblebee!" He fell slowly after being slammed against the wall, supporting himself on one elbow and clutching the spot where he had been hit with the other.
“Sorry.” Rosa raised an eyebrow as she sat in the life support system. “You’re a little different from the Bumblebee I remember.” A solver symbol appeared in one of her optical lenses, seemingly ready to attack at any moment.
However...it does look somewhat like...
Rosa looked at the yellow figure. The paint job was very similar to the original one, with less black than later ones, and the doors on the back, which looked like bee wings, were also similar.
But the overall details are different; Bumblebee's face is also rounder, not as long as it is now...
“Your surname is Duomen, you’re an absolute solver, and you’ve manufactured 3000 cores that will kill you, which have exploded twice here…” Bumblebee said slowly with a distorted expression as he got up from the ground.
He even used his fingers to count the numbers when he said "twice," and the process of getting up looked a bit difficult...
...It seems a little awkward...
Could he really be Bumblebee?
"The entry of the dark super-energy entity into your body will suppress your Cybertronian genes..." Bumblebee got up and walked towards Rosa. Rosa was about to crawl out of the life support system when she found her legs were a little weak...
"After your Cybertronian genes are suppressed, you will spontaneously combust under the sun. You will only slowly recover after your dark super-energy body disappears..."
Bumblebee stretched its body. Could it be said that it was in good physical condition? It was only a little painful that it had just slammed into the wall.
However, he also noticed that Rosa seemed to be having trouble getting out. What was going on?
"I was the one who pulled you back to base..." Bumblebee looked at Rosa's blue beady eyes on the screen.
Besides the wide-open blue beady eyes, her screen was now surrounded by a frantic stream of blue dots.
The flow was still like rain... Rosa was kneeling in the life support system, peering at the bumblebee from the edge.
It was obviously very awkward...
And as Bumblebee walked up to him, the two wide-eyed beady eyes among the rain-like blue dots on the screen slowly transformed into a QwQ emoticon...
"Ugh..." Rosa slowly shrank the lower half of her face into the life support system.
Bumblebee sighed slowly, then grabbed Rosa and scooped her up in his arms. He could tell something was wrong with her.
"Do you need me to tell you again about when you took me to see the night view?" Bumblebee said helplessly, shaking his head as he looked at Rosa curled up like a quail in his hands.
I dialed the wrong person... How embarrassing QAQ
