#579 - Chapter 16: The Fallen King Kong Arrives (I)

"I don't know either," the ambulance shook its head helplessly, a deep sense of frustration etched on its face. The other Autobots were silent, each a valiant warrior who had endured tens of thousands of years of brutal war, acutely aware of what losing the Matrix of Leadership meant. Yet, none dared to voice the grim reality, standing there in solemn silence.

Ironhide said, "Without Optimus Prime, what do we do? Do we continue to protect Earth?"

Prowl calmly pondered for a moment, then resolutely stated, "Let's contact Jazz first! He'll temporarily take command. Since the Decepticons are so desperate for the information in Sam's brain, we absolutely cannot let them succeed. At the same time, we can't easily trust the humans. Bumblebee, you immediately take Sam and hide. We'll figure out how to deal with these humans. And you, Twins, go with Bumblebee and ensure Sam's safety."

Upon hearing Prowl's arrangement, the others nodded, their eyes filled with determination. Bumblebee, accompanied by the Twins, swiftly moved out, carefully escorting Sam and his companions as they sought a secure location to temporarily lie low. Unless absolutely necessary, Sam and the others would refrain from contacting the Autobots.

Concurrently, the military acted with great speed. Soon, NEST dispatched two helicopters. As the helicopters hovered in the air, the Autobots carefully attached Optimus Prime to the helicopter's吊锁(diào suǒ), then followed behind, heading towards the nearest military base.

One World Trade Center in New York City, located in Lower Manhattan, is the new World Trade Center built on the 9/11 site. Construction began in 2002, and after seven years, the No. 1 building was completed ahead of schedule.

Thanks to the American subprime mortgage crisis and the sluggish real estate industry, Liu Yuan purchased the entire ninety-ninth floor at a relatively low price last year, before the building was even completed. After opening it up, it had a full 2,500 square meters, creating a super penthouse with complete facilities and a 360-degree unobstructed view of the New York cityscape.

Liu Yuan sat on the sofa, facing a huge screen television broadcasting American news. The hottest topic was the attack on Princeton University. It must be said that American reporters are truly remarkable; they had already dug up news about the disappearance of the Aurora supercomputing system. Although officials had not confirmed it, they had already deduced the events to a considerable extent.

Many interview programs began inviting guests to discuss the matter. It must be said that America also has unreliable experts who shifted the blame from Russia to China, from India to Iran, and even included the terrorists and Iraq that had suffered attacks, analyzing everything with great confidence.

"Master! I just received a message from Soundwave that a large number of Decepticons are heading to Earth," Frenzy suddenly warned.

Not long ago, Megatron successfully retreated, although he failed to retrieve Sam's brain. But he successfully eliminated his old rival who had been entangled with him for millions of years, putting him in a state of excitement.

Starscream interrupted, "Master Megatron, what about that boy? He was taken away by the Autobots."

Megatron: "That human boy is hidden among billions of Earthlings, making it indeed difficult to find him. But why should we search for him ourselves? Summon all Decepticon members on Earth; we no longer need to hide. Immediately issue a warning to the human government, demanding they hand over the boy, or face the Decepticons' retaliation."

Starscream excitedly said to Megatron, "Yes, Master, we have been eagerly awaiting this exciting day!" To effectively address potential manpower shortages, Megatron, after careful consideration, resolutely sent an emergency distress signal to the once invincible Fallen.

Upon learning that Optimus Prime had been completely destroyed, and as The Fallen slowly emerged from his maintenance chamber where he had lain dormant for tens of thousands of years, The Fallen's狰狞(zhēngníng) face instantly turned upwards, and he roared to the sky: "Hahaha~ Finally, the last direct descendant of the Prime is dead, and nothing in this universe can stop me now. Those old fools never expected that I, The Fallen, would have a day to make a comeback!" With a fierce wave of his hand, he summoned all the Decepticon members who had been dormant on Titan, Saturn's largest moon. There were more than a hundred mature Decepticons, their eyes gleaming with bloodlust, heading towards Earth in a mighty and menacing manner.

At the same time, the space surveillance systems of various countries issued warnings. With their advanced monitoring equipment, they clearly captured a wave of strange meteor showers, and frighteningly, the final landing point of this meteor shower was on the Atlantic coast.

Faced with this sudden crisis, the U.S. military did not hesitate to order all fleets deployed on the East Coast to immediately leave port to avoid the impending disaster.

But it was useless. Some of the meteors changed their trajectory and fell directly near the East Coast, targeting the U.S. Second Fleet. The sudden strike caught the U.S. Second Fleet off guard. As many as 10 Decepticons landed directly on the deck of the Roosevelt aircraft carrier. Decepticons descending from space can reach speeds of up to Mach 30. The resulting impact force should not be underestimated. The aircraft carrier's deck instantly fractured, and the bridge and engine room were not spared. The stern of the aircraft carrier rose high, and seawater poured in within a short period of time, slowly sinking straight into the seabed.

More than a dozen Decepticons can be seen still wreaking havoc on the ship. A surviving destroyer quickly transmitted this scene back to the Pentagon.

The entire Pentagon was plunged into a tense atmosphere, with countless technicians busy analyzing. The Secretary of Defense immediately notified the White House, and a large number of security personnel escorted President Barack Obama onto Air Force One. According to the strategic plan, the President would proceed to an underground command center in the central United States.

Another group of Decepticons landed in Europe, with Paris being the most unlucky, as half a block was destroyed. Frenzy briefly reported on the Decepticons' actions.

After listening, Liu Yuan asked, "What are the Decepticons trying to do, directly attack human cities?"

Frenzy: "It's not impossible. Megatron is capable of it."

Liu Yuan: "Check for me which museum has a retired Blackbird on display?"

Frenzy projected a map: "These green dots are it. The closest one is the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in Washington. Master, what do you plan to do?"

Liu Yuan: "Sam and the others will definitely go there. We'll go ahead and wait for them."
