Chapter 144 Oh, that's too kind of you.
Chapter 144 Oh, that's too kind of you.
Rosa's invitation to dinner began when Blackface detected a Decepticon signal near the junkyard. Bumblebee immediately led everyone out, only to find that it was a Decepticon Repulse tied to a tree.
In reality, the rope tied to the "bait" given to them by the steel clamps was not strong. After being dragged for a while, the animals immediately broke free of the rope and ran away.
Bumblebee wanted to lead everyone to catch up, but something seemed wrong. They immediately realized that their target was Blackface and the Decepticon prisoners who were being held captive.
The Decepticons had already entered the junkyard and quickly took control of Blackface, Denny Clay, and Russell. Rosa, inside her life support device, naturally heard the sounds outside.
She had originally planned to directly infiltrate the junkyard's defense system through Ai's Tomb, but then realized that so many Decepticon defense systems might not be effective.
What can we do...?
Rosa suddenly realized the defense system was malfunctioning; something was being inserted. She decided not to stop it immediately, but to see what it was and try to control it from the opposite direction. She then saw the tigers inserting something...
Subsonic equipment?
Oh? Are you being so polite?
Confused, Rosa secretly ran a program in the background and made simple controls on the cameras in the junkyard. Turning her head, she saw that the Decepticons seemed to be testing some equipment.
Through conversation with the steel clamps, it was learned that they were the only ones unaffected by subsonic speeds because they possessed specialized chips.
Tsk, this is troublesome. This thing is specifically designed to deal with Bumblebee and his crew.
Realizing that even if she shut down the subsonic device, she would be hesitant to act if she couldn't rescue the hostages, Rosa began to think of a solution.
First of all, the main body is currently immobile, and the extension of the torso is also impossible, but it is possible to easily hack into the device.
However, don't even think about using callback ping in the Cybertronian's built-in system...
Rosa watched as they placed the equipment on the fence of the waste dump, facing outwards. Just then, the camera directly opposite the waste dump gate captured a yellow figure.
Bumblebee and his crew returned, but they were immediately affected by the subsonic device at the door. Even when they turned off the audio receiver, it was useless; the subsonic device could directly penetrate the audio receiver...
Now Danny and Russell are being carried by a miniature King Kong, whose claws are not aimed directly at vital points, such as their necks.
if it is like this...
Rosa glanced again at the Tomb of Ai, where the Black-Faced God was being asked to prepare to release the remaining prisoners, because the Tigers were going to the door to greet and mock Bumblebee and his group.
So only one crab-shaped Decepticon was left here, I think it's called... The Great Retribution?
According to the information, he was skilled at uncovering other people's secrets and then using them for personal gain. He was imprisoned for extorting a senior member of parliament.
First, let's rule out the type like Soundwave who can both fight and gather intelligence; otherwise, he would have been noticed by Megatron back then, and even if he wasn't, he would still be well-known.
Secondly, while it's true that they might dig up other people's secrets, directly extorting money... and being left to guard them with steel clamps, it doesn't seem like they pose a significant threat.
Rosa watched as the dark-faced god tried to slack off and stall for time, and secretly inserted a pop-up window into the screen in front of him: "Run! Hide in the Tomb of Ai."
Before anyone could react, the subsonic device was shut down immediately, and then the existing defense system at the waste site was activated on the spot.
Suddenly, a bunch of guns appeared at the entrance of the junkyard and opened fire on the Decepticon prisoners. At that moment, the Decepticon Mini Ginger had just walked to the entrance with two humans in his arms.
"Do you like the new doorbell, Bumblebee?" Steel Pliers said to Bumblebee. Bumblebee realized he couldn't get closer and retreated to leave the subsonic device's detection range.
"Danny!" Iron Fist looked at Danny Russell and his son, and was about to shout anxiously when he saw the guns used for defense at the junkyard suddenly raised.
The Decepticons inside didn't notice anything unusual, assuming it was their own people who did it, but they overlooked the fact that with the Great Sanction's physique, it was impossible for it to enter the Tomb of Ai, nor could it control the panel.
As for the Autobots outside? They thought Steel Pliers had brought people out with him, but they didn't expect that they were all Rosa Black.
Unexpectedly, the guns extended were not aimed at Bumblebee and his companions, but instead fired directly at the Decepticons, especially at the Minibots who were holding two humans as hostages.
"Da da—da." The Mini-Genius, suddenly under concentrated fire from behind, instinctively turned around to defend himself, but this allowed Danny and Russell to run away, heading straight for the Autobots in front of them.
"What's going on?! Major sanctions!!" Steel Pliers shouted over the intercom.
"Boss... Boss, that Mini Kong has hidden inside! I can't catch him!" Big Sanction shouted, but he couldn't get into the Tomb of Ai at all.
Steel Pliers cursed under his breath, intending to immediately return to the Tomb of Ai and have the two Mini-Geniuses go in and drag Blackface out to give him a good beating. He didn't intend to care about the Autobots outside, because he felt that with Subsonic there, they wouldn't be able to get in.
As a result, the Autobots picked up the Decepticon Hunting Machine, extended the weapon they wanted, and charged forward, only to discover... that the subsonic device had malfunctioned?
How can this be?
Steel Claw and the other Decepticons immediately began to fight back, but they were struggling to cope with the combined attacks from the defense system and the Autobots, and could only gradually retreat until they reached the hall.
Bucktooth was a bit tougher because he had just eaten metal, so Bumblebee and Grimlock went up to fight him together. Sideswipe had just used the Decepticon Hunter to electrocute Thunderhoof, and Big Punish was being targeted by Iron Fist.
Steel Pliers glanced around for any hibernation pods that could be moved, and the first thing he saw was Rosa's "coffin," the closest one.
He then looked towards the buck-toothed area, and Steel Pliers rushed forward, ambushing Steel Lock. Steel Lock fell down, taking Bumblebee down with him, and pinned Bumblebee to his back.
Taking advantage of the situation, Steel Pliers called over Bucktooth and had him lift up the nearest one, which looked quite different from the other hibernation pods. It was obvious at a glance that this was also something similar to a hibernation pod.
There are definitely people involved here. It would be better to bring one more back first, so that their Decepticon squad can grow stronger.
As for Rosa, who had hacked the camera, she saw the Decepticon running away so gracefully carrying her coffin, and for a moment she forgot to continue using the defense system to observe.
No, you guys are being so polite?
Rosa then realized what was happening, but suddenly didn't want to continue fighting them. There were only a few minutes left before the residual electricity in her body would completely disappear, so why not go and visit their headquarters?
"Retreat!" Steel Pliers shouted.
The stunned Thunderhoof got up, pushed away the Sideswipe that was trying to catch up, transformed, and then had Fang throw the "coffin" onto the "antlers" at the front of the spiked excavator.
After losing their buck teeth, they all transformed and ran away together. Everyone tried to shake off the Autobots around them, and all the vehicles that transformed followed Steel Claws as they ran away.
Perhaps when the Decepticons were carrying the "coffin," the Autobots crashed and didn't notice that Thunderhoof had also taken something else.
So much so that when Drift asked Bumblebee if they should give chase, Bumblebee's first thought was to check if the hibernation chamber had been opened.
I have absolutely no idea who they took away.
"Lieutenant! Rosa is missing!!" Iron Fist discovered this when he went to take inventory. Seeing that the place where Rosa's life support device used to be was empty, he immediately shouted anxiously.
"Is there anything else?" Bumblebee was startled at first, but then he saw the time displayed on the built-in system. Rosa could move now, so there probably wasn't a big problem.
"No, Lieutenant! We can still catch up now!" Iron Fist shouted anxiously. Hearing this, Blackface, who had just emerged from the Tomb of Ai's spaceship, immediately began searching for Rosa's signal.
[Stop searching, here is the location] A pop-up window suddenly appeared on the Tomb of Ai system. It must have detected that the Black-Faced God wanted to search for it, so it shared its location back to the Scrapyard first.
"Rosa! You...you did all that?" The black-faced god froze, then looked surprised. Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind him, startling him.
Even the Black-faced God, who has no legs but only wheels, almost jumped up.
"Otherwise what?" A camera with several hooks at the front, emitting blue light, appeared behind the Black-faced God.
She extended directly down from the ceiling of Ai's Tomb, where the surveillance cameras used to be located, but have now been replaced by a much stranger-looking camera.
There was even a camera attached to something resembling a metal skeleton.
"Let's go ahead and talk. I'm going to visit their headquarters." Rosa said, tilting the blue dot camera slightly. You could even tell her emotions from the shrinking of the blue dot and the slight changes in its upper and lower parts.
It's a bit strange... but also kind of cute?
All the Autobots stared at the camera with somewhat complicated expressions.
"Just rub their faces on the ground a little... hehehe." As he spoke, besides seeing the mischievous emotions revealed by the camera, they could also see the camera trembling slightly with his laughter.
She really does seem kind of cute, especially those big, innocent blue eyes in the center of the camera lens, and the various little gestures and movements that clearly express her emotions...
Of course, this smile might not be a prank smile...
It's the kind of smile that comes from thinking about having a great dinner and being very happy.
"Okay... Rosa." Bumblebee sighed. It seemed he wouldn't be able to go out alone with Rosa tonight. "I only have one request."
"Keep them alive, beat them up but don't cripple them," Bumblebee said, leaning against the wall.
"There are two!" Rosa retorted. "If that's the case, wouldn't it be really troublesome if we accidentally killed those few?"
After all, Bumblebee had said beforehand that he couldn't kill it, nor could he cripple it...
Besides, these are probably ones we see often. Letting some go will lead to them informing us next, and killing them all would be too strange if we didn't see them for too long. So... why not just run away and go hunt other Decepticons?
This way, there's no need to worry about being discovered for eating someone, since there are some Decepticons that Bumblebee and his crew haven't seen before, and that Decepticons haven't made contact with or gotten to know other Decepticons...
Who knows what happened to them when they suddenly disappeared? Maybe they're still somewhere on Earth? Maybe they've just temporarily gone into hiding?
