Chapter 455: Chapter 344: The Plot of the Big Movie_1 Chapter 455: Chapter 344: The Plot of the Big Movie_1 The rain kept falling.
The heavy rain poured down, enveloping the entire earth in a haze. Under the ruins of the elevated bridge, Optimus Prime quietly poked his head out, looking around.
“Seems like no one’s chasing us.”
Megatron opened his mouth maliciously, moving his arms simultaneously. A gun assembled from his arm, then disassembled, seemingly to vent his anger.
Truth be told, neither of them wished to be in the company of the other if it could be helped. But the current situation was different.
“From the information I got, this planet should only be home to a primitive civilization that couldn’t even break through the gravity well! Damn it, what’s going on?”
Megatron was puzzled. He knew that the orbital attack that hit them earlier was a sign of a mature interstellar civilization. Yet, the information he got showed that this planet was home to only a decayed human civilization and low-level mechanical civilization. They hadn’t even left their planet, so how could they have such means of attack?
“Nonetheless, we must get The Source of Spark.”
Optimus Prime gazed at Megatron, a spark flashing in his blue eyes.
“The Source of Spark, it can’t fall into other’s hands!”
Hearing Optimus Prime speak, Megatron gave him an irritated glare. Megatron initially wanted to abandon Optimus Prime and escape alone, but the state of the planet was eerily peculiar, especially with the orbital bombing. He couldn’t bear to lose The Source of Spark, which was within reach. Thus, Megatron agreed to temporarily team up with Optimus Prime — at least he would have someone to take the bullet for him in case there was danger, right?
Megatron had tried to call his subordinates earlier, but there was no response from anyone. His army had been decimated, and he was now reduced to a Bare Pole Commander. It seemed that Optimus Prime’s situation was similar. There was no time for internal disputes, they had to get The Source of Spark first and then… think about the rest later!
Of course, Optimus Prime was well aware of Megatron’s malicious intentions. But he knew Megatron well enough to realize that he was a selfish coward. Under the present circumstances, Megatron would undoubtedly use Optimus Prime as a shield and a decoy. On the flip side, this also meant that Megatron wouldn’t harm Optimus Prime before acquiring The Source of Spark.
However, Optimus Prime wasn’t a saint either. If The Source of Spark was within reach, that would be his moment to strike against Megatron — Megatron probably thought the same.
Thus, a fragile and deceitful alliance was formed.
“Not too far now! Follow me!”
Having finished speaking, Megatron left the ruins of the elevated bridge, and Optimus Prime, seeing his figure, frowned and followed closely behind, speeding off into the distance.
However, neither of them noticed that shortly after they left, a small drone rose slowly from the debris nearby. It stared at the retreating figures of Optimus Prime and Megatron with its brightly lit camera, flickering constantly. A moment later, the drone also followed in their direction.
All this was observed by Duanmu Huai.
“Tsk tsk, it’s always better to be the villain.…”
As he spoke, Duanmu Huai changed his position on the chair. No wonder many Hollywood treasure hunting and tomb raiding movie bosses like to lay their traps. It’s so easygoing. The protagonist risks his life, drinking muddy water and exerting all his effort, while he himself sits far behind the line, drinking cold cola and snacking on chips. It’s such a good life that not even a god would exchange it.
That’s right. Just enjoying oneself isn’t really enjoying oneself. Enjoying oneself while watching others suffer, now that’s what true enjoyment is.
Like right now, watching the two Evil Intelligences running around in ruins like drowned rats, with a few of Skynet’s drones are following them, while he himself lazes around holding Ogis, with Kula and Bambi on his shoulder — who’s living the good life is evident at one glance.
Right now, this planet was in chaos — the two alien Evil Intelligences tried to find a certain Holy Artifact while Skynet turned into a turtle in the jar, only daring to send out drones to do reconnaissance, and had even cut off the connection with other base stations.
On the other hand, the resistance movement was faring no better. Their headquarters was destroyed by these Evil Intelligences. Luckily, Skynet had gone into self-shutdown for now, or else the Resistance would probably be doomed too. Luckily, Skynet currently had no time to deal with them, and the Resistance was looking for new places for their base right now.
Meanwhile, Duanmu Huai sipped cola, munched on chips, and watched all this… comfortably.
By the way, just to be safe, Duanmu Huai brought several destroyers and reconnaissance ships to block this planet, to avoid other Cybertronian Evil Intelligences from causing trouble on this planet — once this matter was over, he would blow up Cybertron to get rid of the problem once and for all.
At this moment, everyone else was busy with their own things, only a few people stayed to watch the live broadcast with Duanmu Huai.
However, some people were filled with doubts.
Lumiaire hesitated as she looked at Duanmu Huai.
