Transformers: Leader's Proof - Fragile, but Hard to Kill

Chapter 113 Mendo Salo

"What exactly do you want from me?" The ambulance, strapped to a repair bed on the Nascent Soul, looked at Megatron as he approached and said this.

"To be honest, I want you to help me with a small scientific experiment." White light shone from above Megatron's head, casting shadows on his face and making his red optical glasses appear even brighter.

Those eyes were fixed on the ambulance that was still struggling.

"I will absolutely not cooperate with you." There was no fear in the ambulance's eyes, only determination.

“Shockwave doesn’t need your cooperation to extract your memories, Doctor…” Megatron said, pointing to the location of his brain module.

Shockwave, meanwhile, was standing nearby, holding a cortical-mental connection device, ready to connect it to the ambulance.

Then Megatron realized he'd spoken too soon...

It was that familiar symbol again, the message to contact the administrator again, and that pop-up that sent a shiver down my spine.

[Contact Administrator]

[Abstracted CCDDX]

Why does it have to be this symbol?!

Megatron hated the pop-up, while Ratchet woke up a second after the pop-up message, while the cortical mind-body connection device was still on the back of his head.

He was a little confused, but then he immediately realized that it was Rosa's permissions that were at work.

Ultimately, the ambulance had to be temporarily placed in the detention center. Because of their past relationship, he chose to use a gentler approach first.

Oh, the "friendship" here actually refers to the fact that Orion Pax and the others knew each other before Orion Pax became Optimus Prime. (Official setting)

"I found these pieces." Rosa found the severed wings that the Laser Bird had broken off.

The other Autobots also found nothing; there was no historical record of the land bridge, meaning the other party didn't use their land bridge.

These are the only clues Rosa has now, and everyone is currently discussing their purpose in kidnapping the ambulance.

Because of the previous news about the ultimate lock, everyone believed that this might be related to the ambulance that was deliberately taken away.

Because if they were just hostages, they would definitely be making demands now, but they haven't.

Perhaps the ambulance is what they want, and this is something that only the ambulance knows best. It is reasonable to suspect that it is a synthetic energy entity.

-

"Speak, what do you want?" Ambulance said first as Megatron entered the cell, already prepared to be interrogated.

"Synthesize a super-energy body." With that, Megatron continued walking inside, followed by Shockwave and Knockout pushing a cart.

Megatron turned his head, signaling Knockout to connect the lie detector. This lie detector could detect the frequency of the Spark's pulse and the frequency of brainwave activity, but the data was for reference only.

Because if you encounter someone with strong mental fortitude who can lie without batting an eye, whose heart rate doesn't even increase, and who isn't nervous at all, then the data is useless.

"Heh, do you think I would hand this over to you so you can use it to create unlimited firepower and ammunition?" Ratchet retorted. Hearing this, Megatron shook his head slightly.

“No, doctor. You’ve misunderstood. We’re not using it for destruction, we’re using it for construction.” Megatron said, intending to threaten the humans if the ambulance wasn’t handed over.

"You got the complete formula?" the ambulance driver asked, somewhat shocked.

“It’s not complete, it’s not stable, so we need you to provide the complete formula.” Megatron said, shaking his head slightly as he looked at the ambulance, then turned away.

"I can't give you what you want; the formula for synthesizing energy bodies is incomplete."

But those words made Megatron realize something, and he looked up at Shockwave.

Shockwave shook his head, indicating that he couldn't see any lying at the moment.

“You’d better tell the truth,” Megatron threatened the ambulance lane. “We’d be happy to help you complete the formula for the synthetic energy body, and you can rest assured that we need it, not for destruction.”

"Then what do you want to do with him?" The ambulance turned around and looked at Megatron again.

"We stumbled upon the fact that if synthetic energy is fused with Cybertronian nucleic acid, it becomes a fundamental element for creating Cybertronian material substitutes."

As Megatron said this, Ratchet realized that Megatron and his team wanted to rebuild the Ultimate Lock. Megatron also wanted to continue to make promises to Ratchet, saying that if they cooperated, they would create a historic moment.

That is, to rebuild their homeland.

"You want me to cooperate with you, the culprit who destroyed our home? Don't forget! You're the one who destroyed Bumblebee's vocal cords!"

The ambulance driver stared at Megatron, took a small step forward, and said, "No, thank you."

At this point, Megatron realized that empty promises and temptations were no longer effective, so he began to truly use humanity as a threat...

“Then you must make a choice: complete your research, or…” Megatron gestured for Soundwave to step forward. Soundwave understood Megatron’s meaning and placed a picture of three humans on the screen.

"Ha, humanity will always be your weakness," Starscream sneered, leaning against the wall.

The ambulance was still stubbornly insisting it wasn't important, but Megatron saw through it immediately and issued his next threat.

They know the location of the Autobot base, and if they behave properly, they won't harm the Autobots.

But how can such a promise be of any use?

He told him to think it over, but as soon as he left the cell, he notified Starscream to lead a team to destroy the Autobot base.

Starscream led the team there and blew up the Autobots' E warehouse, but he didn't look closely or pay attention to the location; he only recognized the letter E.

He didn't even consider whether there was a letter that was particularly similar to it, or whether he would be fooled by the disguise and end up with an F.

“The junkyard has become junk after all…” Smokescreen said, looking at the F warehouse in front of him, which had been blown to ruins.

"We were lucky; we were able to fool the Decepticons just by disguising ourselves..." Under the intense heat of the flames and the spray of fire hoses, the line below the "E" stone on the bombed warehouse gradually disappeared.

It slowly turned into an "F", while the real Autobot base, Warehouse E, remained undamaged, except that the strokes below were covered with white paint.

After watching the firefighting process, everyone returned to the base, and also released the few humans who had been temporarily protected.

Now that the crisis is over, it's time to think about how to save the ambulance. The first thing to do is find the karmic creditor.

But the Retribution Sign is invisible, and it won't be easy to find. So everyone can only focus their attention on the wings that Rosa cut off with a laser.

I really didn't expect it to be a transponder terminal, a very complete one, and if it communicates with the mothership, then the signal can be tracked.

“Find a computer and two cables. If I can’t track it down, I’ll write my name backwards,” Rosa said with a laugh, her knuckles clicking as she clenched her fists.

“Saros?” Jack looked at Rosa.

"Mendo Salo." With that, he walked straight away to get the connecting cable.

"Multi-door...?" The humans exchanged puzzled glances, then looked at the other Autobots.

The Autobots also looked puzzled. Only then did they realize that Rosa had never said her full name. So she had a surname?
