After receiving this information, Sun Cheng, who had originally planned to stay in North Dovinsk for a while longer, until the Autobots and Decepticons were in a fierce battle and nobody had the energy to focus on him, could no longer sit still.
"What does Starscream want to do? Does he think I'm easy to bully?"
He really couldn't stand it anymore!
Not long ago, two Decepticons had just arrived in Ukraine, and although they later headed west to Greenland, this had already been a breach in agreement between the two factions.
Originally, Sun Cheng had only intended to use this situation to his advantage, and the Autobots were a good card to play.
But now, he felt that he might have been too patient before, making Starscream, who was used to the belief that "might is right," think that he was easy to bully.
"Alright then, is he trying to test my limits with madness?"
A sharp glint flashed in his eyes, and between the slightly parted metal lips, his fangs shone like thorns, and the suppressed killing intent was about to burst forth.
He knew that this was definitely Starscream's doing, and it couldn't be Lord Fallen.
Come on, Lord Fallen was a terrifying existence, hailed as one of the Thirteen Primes, and was said to have personally ended the lives of other Primes. If he really intended to deal with him, would he need to resort to such means?
From the information left behind by the "Beast General" he obtained in Lop Nur, Sun Cheng knew just how terrifying Lord Fallen was, someone who could control stars with ease.
So, after learning that Lord Fallen had awakened from his slumber, the cautious Sun Cheng had meticulously deduced the situation.
Based on his own speculation, Lord Fallen's current condition couldn't possibly be at its peak; there was even a high possibility that he was seriously injured and unwilling to leave the moon easily.
His deductions were not purely conjecture; the information left behind by the "Beast General" mentioned that many years ago, the Primes seemed to have clashed on Earth, and although Sun Cheng didn't need to consider the outcome of that conflict, the fact that Lord Fallen hadn't returned to Cybertron after that was undeniable.
For him to be able to awaken again, there was no way it was not due to Starscream's "contribution."
Since he arrived in this world, Starscream had once planned to steal several nuclear warheads from a certain U.S. military base, and Sun Cheng still had no idea where those warheads had ended up.
If that was the case, then a powerful being like Lord Fallen, far stronger than Megatron and Optimus Prime, wouldn't have just stayed on Earth and searched for the Leadership Module!
Although Sun Cheng didn't understand much about Lord Fallen, he was well aware of Starscream's cunning and deceitfulness, something known to every Cybertronian.
Starscream had betrayed Megatron multiple times, yet he was still highly valued by Megatron, ranking third in the Decepticon army. His intelligence and methods were top-notch not just within the Decepticon ranks but throughout Cybertronian history.
So Sun Cheng firmly believed that this cunning guy had enough means to gain Lord Fallen's trust and receive his favor.
This kind of cunning, able to pinpoint the opponent's weaknesses and employ malicious tactics, was undoubtedly Starscream's style.
"...I can't just sit and wait for death!"
Although Sun Cheng didn't know what Starscream had deduced from the clues he leaked before.
Clearly, these tests and changes in attitude were triggered after he revealed the information about Megatron's corpse hidden in the Mariana Trench through Excavator.
He felt that maybe he had been too anxious to leave North Dovinsk, and the crafty Starscream had probably sensed something.
"It seems necessary to make Starscream remember his place!"
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and Sun Cheng roughly sorted out the situation while making up his mind.
Now, in the Transformers universe,
After changing his new mechanical body, the only ones that could still make him feel fearful were Megatron, Shockwave, and the unknown strength of Lord Fallen.
Sun Cheng no longer cared about Soundwave; he was not the type of Decepticon particularly skilled in combat. As for the Autobots and the United States, with the Decepticon army and Russia nearby, they would soon be unable to spare the energy to monitor him.
As for Starscream, to be honest, Sun Cheng did fear him. However, his new mechanical body was specifically designed to deal with the elite warriors of the Decepticon army and the Autobots. Although it was still not perfect, his destructive and combat capabilities were not compromised in the slightest. If he were to face Starscream, he might have a hard time winning, but if he wanted to leave, the other party might not be able to keep the specially optimized him.
So...
He should decisively take action and cut off Starscream's probing!
With this thought in mind, Sun Cheng immediately made a decision.
Without even informing Excavator, he quickly left the base. After notifying the Russian side, he leaped into the sky and transformed into his jet form, rushing towards the southeast.
...
In the military combat base in Western Xinjiang, Lop Nur.
"Yes, please rest assured. We will ensure the completion of the mission!"
After hanging up the encrypted communicator, Major General Chen Zhongyuan noticed that everyone in the command center was looking at him.
He glanced at his wristwatch before speaking, "The orders from above have been issued, and the operation is codenamed 'Red Shield'..."
It had been almost an hour since they contacted Frenzy through the emergency communication frequency left behind. The unknown Decepticons that appeared in Mongolian territory were still unresponsive.
Because they had received no reply and China's military satellite had captured the two unknown Decepticons continuously approaching the China-Mongolia border, China couldn't sit idly by.
Although they had very limited intelligence due to the blockade imposed by the United States, their eyes were not blind. They just needed to turn one reconnaissance satellite and compare the before-and-after images of the Davis-Monthan Air Force Base and Las Vegas to reach the judgment that as a country that had known about the existence of Decepticons and Autobots for a long time, they could not allow these extraterrestrial Mechanical Life Forms to enter their territory at will.
If it was Frenzy, with whom they had previously had contact, it would be a different matter. Although China would still feel very unhappy, they would reluctantly swallow their anger, especially since China had been quite satisfied with their previous transactions with Frenzy. China not only obtained a batch of advanced technology that had been blocked from them by foreign countries but also received a large number of advanced equipment paid as currency, which had made China's high-precision equipment and advanced CNC machine tools, which had been starved for half a century, shine once again.
So even though they were displeased, after expressing their dissatisfaction, they were willing to let it go for the time being.
The problem was, what if the other party wasn't someone like Frenzy?
What if it was the Decepticon army that he had mentioned before?
