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

Chapter 184 Cat my foot, this is a Devouring Beast!

"Buzz—buzz—" Rosa used the solver to control the welding gun, first removing some of the burnt wires, replacing them with new ones, and then re-soldering them.

Everyone consciously refrained from disturbing her. Suddenly, she looked at the land bridge and began to think for a moment. Then, looking at the control panel that was sitting perfectly fine to the side, she hacked into it.

With flashes of blue code, the console opened automatically.

She knew, of course, that the land bridge was definitely not working. She was trying to hack into the internal system using code through the console, and then open and check each component one by one.

If she finds that a part fails to start, she will disassemble that part to see what's inside.

However, after this incident, she will probably have to try to upgrade the land bridge... Speaking of which, the space bridge in the old base that was destroyed by the Decepticons should still be there, right?

The damage is definitely severe; I just don't know if any small parts can be salvaged and used here.

Perhaps we can build another space bridge.

However, all of this has to wait until the land bridge is repaired, otherwise we won't be able to get to the old base, and Optimus Prime is still frozen.

Rosa looked up at the damaged land bridge again, calculating whether the repairs could also solve some problems, such as the cause of the land bridge's explosion.

This reminded her of when she first built the 3000-core "Deadly" bridge. Could the same problem have occurred?

Because of the energy backflow, it became unstable and then exploded. The same thing happened with the Land Bridge's vortex; because of Optimus Prime, the backflow was altered, and then it became unstable and exploded.

Could we use the same method as later on—building the "3000 Cores That Will Kill You"—to modify the land bridge?

However, this would be too troublesome and would require a complete redesign, leaving no time to bring Optimus Prime and the others back.

The most urgent task now is to bring back the Autobots who are still frozen, do some basic repairs, and see if we can prevent Optimus Prime's instability by changing the vortex on the Land Bridge.

Rosa continued thinking as she continued what she was doing, and just as she was about to pick up the tube beside her, she found that only a small section of it remained.

That's not enough.

She casually put it aside and got up to find the place in the junkyard where the pipelines were stored.

Danny had quite a lot of stuff stored in the junkyard, and he was very generous, allowing them to take some things with them whenever they needed them.

As long as they don't touch certain designated areas or shelves, those are important items that are stored away; they can use the rest if needed.

Just as she was carefully selecting the materials she needed, she suddenly heard a loud bang in the hall.

She instinctively turned around, then suddenly wondered if it was just some minor commotion caused by Gangsuo...

Well, it's alright then. After all, who would be so blind as to come and cause trouble in a junkyard?

She continued to carefully check whether a certain pipeline was still usable, and soon she heard several more sounds. The more she listened to these sounds, the more uneasy she felt, and she even received a notification that the base's security alarm had been activated.

No, are there really some clueless people causing trouble?

Not long after Rosa left, a black dot suddenly appeared in the sky, and someone fell from the sky, kicking up a cloud of dust in the hall of the junkyard.

The swirling gray-yellow sand obscured his falling figure. Naji steadied himself, slowly stepped out of the dust that had blocked his vision, and patted the dust off his body.

Like a famous actor appearing on stage, he waved his hand, gesturing for everyone to sit down.

"Oh, don't panic, please sit still..." But then, he suddenly became agitated again, "Bring Optimus Prime to see me! Hurry up!"

This Cybertronian, bearing the familiar purple insignia, is a Decepticon. He is quite tall, even appearing more robust than Grimlock.

"Overload?!" Bumblebee recognized the guy at first glance. He had been severely injured by Overload when he first became Optimus Prime's scout during the war.

This guy was a spy at the time, and he was a bit crazy, always fantasizing that he was a great actor.

The junkyard's defense system was activated, but those few small guns couldn't even break through his defenses. Blackface and Danny Russell quickly ran to the Tomb of Ai to hide, and also turned off the guns in the defense system.

After all, it's easy to accidentally hurt someone in a real fight.

Overload has a history with Bumblebee, but when Overload sees Bumblebee, he can't immediately recognize him; he just feels that Bumblebee looks familiar.

"You look familiar... I've performed too many times—" Indeed, there's something wrong with him; he treats every battle as a performance.

But at the same time, it was also a provocation, treating Bumblebee as an unimportant character. Bumblebee, feeling provoked, showed anger on his face, clearly remembering how Overload had severely injured him back then.

"When I woke up from stasis, I sensed Optimus Prime's energy signal here. He stole my thunder when I first met him!" Overload looked very dissatisfied, his raised hand clenched into a fist.

But then he loosened his fist, gesturing with his other hand as he continued, "However, the sequel will be completely different~" His tone and expression were just like those in the TV series, and his mask was full of arrogance.

With her shoes featuring yellow and black caution tape, she lightly touched the ground, her steps quick, and Rosa had already reached the hall.

The first thing you see when you arrive is a large, dark-colored machine 'talking' to Bumblebee.

At this moment, the Tomb of Ai system she hacked into showed that the defense system had been turned off, and the other party had their back to her, so she could not see the Decepticon symbol.

Uh, are they one of our own?

Rosa temporarily withdrew her claws and looked at all the machines present with an inquisitive gaze. As expected, Bumblebee saw her and immediately took a step back.

"Rosa! Watch out for this Decepticon!" He assumed a defensive stance, and seeing the somewhat familiar yellow-painted machine shouting behind him, Overload turned around as well.

Just as I was about to argue that I, as the "protagonist," had a name, I saw a figure that caught my eye.

Even in Cybertron's Golden Age, its appearance would be unparalleled, with its visor and body curves.

The optical lens held a hint of blankness, like innocent naivety; so delicate and fragile, how pitiful it was.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she had a stunningly beautiful face.

"Wow, oh my god..." Overload exclaimed upon seeing Rosa, his tone softening as if afraid of frightening the beautiful kitten.

You think this is a kitten? Wrong, this is a Flerken.

"I never imagined I'd meet my leading lady here; it's all destiny." Hearing this, Bumblebee understood—he was lustful at first sight.

It's hard now, Bumblebee's fist is hard.

But you thought she was the female lead? Wrong, she's the boss in a horror movie!
