Chapter 20 The Autobots, I've got their back, you know?
"How's the situation on your end?" Jack, who was standing guard nearby, hadn't seen anything rushing towards them yet.
"The conductor and the central conductor are both working, but..." Rosa handed the tools to the ambulance from the side.
"The land bridge just won't connect to the power." The ambulance slammed its accelerator to the ground. Rosa frowned, trying to figure out what else might be wrong... an energy problem?
Just as the two TFs were thinking, Rosa suddenly sensed something and turned around to see countless iron-eating insects flying out of the ventilation duct.
"They can fly! You never said they could fly!" Jack shouted, wildly swinging his iron bar.
Rosa instinctively went into attack mode, extending her tail so that a large "X" appeared on the screen from both sides, and her mouth split open, revealing sharp fangs for tearing.
Just as Rosa was about to use the solver to block some of the Iron-Eating Bugs, she saw that the Iron-Eating Bugs detected Rosa's appearance and the solver that was about to start, and immediately changed their flight path.
The iron-eating insects that were originally flying towards Rosa and the ambulance suddenly changed direction in mid-air, flying to the wall and the ground. As soon as they landed, they retreated frantically, staring at Rosa with their big eyes wide open.
“They are…” Jack looked at Rosa, who was baring terrifying fangs. He had never seen Rosa like this before. “Afraid of what?”
The blue X on the screen disappeared, replaced by two beady eyes. "Wow..." Rosa was also a little confused. Her wide-open mouth retracted, and combined with the lively beady eyes on the screen, and the mouth that turned into an O shape because of the pronunciation, she seemed completely non-aggressive and even a little cute.
But those iron-eating insects seemed to be wary of something, and the ambulance, looking at them, was completely certain of its guess.
They didn't eat Rosa, they were even afraid of her, but what exactly was Rosa? Thinking of Rosa's wild, beast-like fangs and enormous mouth, she looked exactly like the Iron-Eating Worm.
Is it...the same kind? The ambulance doesn't mean the same origin, but rather, the kind that will also devour TF, the 'same kind'.
"Ambulance, please help me, give me the first aid kit." Both the partition and the bumblebee were covered in wounds from the iron-eating bugs. As soon as they entered the hall, they noticed that the base walls and floor were covered with iron-eating bugs.
As soon as the Iron-Eating Bug noticed the new "food" flying towards them, Rosa rushed to their side, bared her teeth, and hissed at the Iron-Eating Bug. A giant solver appeared on the screen, indicating that Rosa was about to use it to block.
The Iron-Eating Insects sensed the ominous aura once again and turned around, swarming across the entire base, leaving a vacuum zone near Rosa.
"Quick! Get closer to Rosa!" All the Autobots moved closer to Rosa, while Jack and the others, alerted by the ambulance, grabbed fire extinguishers and sprayed the Iron Eater with them.
Finally, after some time, the batch of iron-eating insects was destroyed.
"You took them all down?" Jack and Mechirafi smashed all the Iron-Eating Bugs with something.
But the base was still not quiet. The buzzing sound of iron-eating insects gnawing on metal could still be heard in the corridors, on the walls, and in every corner.
"They're far from it; these are just the forwards." The ambulance, crouching next to Rosa, said, shifting its feet slightly away from her for the time being, then standing up...
Bumblebee almost lost his balance and fell because he had been squatting for too long. He also realized he was clinging to Rosa's leg and immediately let go. Meanwhile, the partition sat next to Rosa, hugging its knees tightly, looking relieved.
They initially stayed near Rosa, relying on the fact that the Iron-Eating Beetles dared not approach and attack. However, as the number of Iron-Eating Beetles increased, the final circle became smaller and smaller. In the end, they had no choice but to end up in the current situation. Fortunately, the Iron-Eating Beetles dared not approach any further; as long as they didn't get too close to the outer edge, they wouldn't be bitten.
The scene unfolded like this: Rosa stood there, constantly intimidating the Iron-Eating Bugs; the ambulance crouched nearby; Bumblebee instinctively clung to whatever was nearby in fear; and the partition sat beside her, hugging its knees. After all, Rosa's range of intimidation was quite limited, especially considering the space contained four TFs and its own largest member.
"We must get the land bridge back in operation as soon as possible," said the ambulance driver who had nearly fallen, after regaining his balance.
"This way we can send the iron-eating worms to other places?" Raffi thought of a solution.
“Let’s send them to the Arctic. I know they’re afraid of the cold,” Jack said, picking up the liquid nitrogen fire extinguisher. Meiqi agreed.
After some thought, the ambulance decided it was feasible and considered why the land bridge couldn't be activated... Was there a leak in the energy pipeline?
Rosa looked around at the several TFs lying on the ground. Although the ambulance driver was almost unharmed, the other two TFs were more seriously injured. She didn't know when the other Iron Eaters would arrive, and she couldn't leave either.
Ultimately, the responsibility of repairing the energy pipeline was entrusted to Jack, Maggie, and Raffi. The Autobots watched the three leave, then collapsed to the ground and began discussing what to do once the land bridge was repaired.
"Once the land bridge is ready, how about we drive straight to Optimus Prime Arcee's location? After all, sub-zero temperatures can quickly freeze the Ironhide Bugs." Rosa looked at the other TFs.
"But how do we get it there?" the person lying on the floor asked, looking towards the ambulance.
“We need bait, but first of all, the bait can’t be Rosa.” The ambulance looked at the bumblebee lying on the ground, looking utterly dejected.
They all lay down on the ground to rest, while Rosa walked around them until Rosa turned around and the partition noticed that there was a...tail behind Rosa?
"Oh, hey, what's that?" The sound from the partition caught the attention of the other two. Rosa turned around and looked at them, only then noticing that she had subconsciously extended her tail when she was threatening the iron-eating worm.
"Oh, this is my tail." Rosa's tail swayed, and she took the blue syringe at the tip of the tail in her hand, then pulled it back. The ambulance was stunned. The tail seemed to suddenly enlarge and extend from the tailbone without any deformation, and when it was pulled back, the syringe disappeared as soon as it was retracted.
Is this scientific? No, it's not.
"I usually keep it hidden, afraid of scratching things." Rosa released her tail again, the blue syringe swaying slightly, the blue, fluorescent liquid somewhat dazzling.
"What good is it?"
"Yes, during the puncture, you can inject liquid to dissolve..."
"Bang!!" The ventilation duct in the base's ceiling was suddenly smashed open, and countless iron-eating insects flew in. The group immediately stood up and approached Rosa.
"Ambulance! The land bridge is fixed! Hurry!" Jack and the others ran over to notify the ambulance. Upon hearing this, Rosa immediately hooked her tail onto the land bridge switch handle and pulled it down.
Meanwhile, the ambulance, which was still intact, ran out of the range where Rosa had intimidated the iron-eating bugs and lured them onto the land bridge.
Upon discovering that a portion of "food" had left the "evil god," the iron-eating worm immediately flew towards the ambulance.
The starving Iron-Eating Bug flew into the land bridge along with the ambulance, only to be instantly frozen the moment it exited the bridge. Arcee and Optimus Prime were successfully rescued.
The ambulance was also bitten by an insect at the last moment, but it wasn't a serious injury.
Bumblebee, who was bitten more severely, was lying down. Arcee and Optimus Prime were bitten because they were frozen, but Arcee, being smaller, was more seriously injured and was also lying on a medical bed.
Right now, the ambulance with the minor injuries and Rosa, who is completely uninjured, are busy taking care of the injured, while Jack and Meghan are also helping to check on the injured and monitor their condition.
Although Bumblebee and Partition were bitten, mainly during the reconnaissance, they are now conscious, lying on the medical bed watching Rosa and the ambulance running around.
With nothing to do, Bumblebee lay on the medical bed, letting his thoughts wander, recalling the scene of him clinging to Rosa's leg...
Rosa's legs were almost entirely covered in seamless black armor, but a gap was deliberately left between her crotch and thighs. It's unclear whether this was for ease of movement, but it perfectly showcased the soft metal of her thighs.
The black and yellow accents near the feet prevent the all-black legs from looking monotonous.
Bumblebee realized what it was thinking and immediately stopped the current process.
But he quickly thought of Rosa's screen and mouth at the time. He had to admit that Rosa was really good-looking, with a good foundation and a good figure. Although she was on the thin side, she perfectly showed off her curvaceous figure.
Even with such a sharp smile and teeth, it didn't detract from her overall beauty. Instead, the screen partially obscuring her upper face and the teeth gave her an air of asceticism, an unreadable expression, yet also a wild, almost animalistic quality...
.....
Bumblebee suddenly realized what he was thinking again and wished he could slap himself to wake up.
Bumblebee turned his head to look, and Rosa was taking data from Arcee. Her blue needle-like tail swayed back and forth; she even had a tail—it was kind of cute.
"Speaking of which, Rosa, what's inside your tail?" Miki asked, pointing at Rosa's tail.
"Hmm? This?" Rosa grabbed the syringe at the tip of the tail; the liquid inside still glowed with a blue fluorescence. "A highly corrosive acid. It can be injected into the enemy's body, or used as an aid during puncture."
"Wow! Cool~" Meiqi exclaimed.
"What if you accidentally prick yourself? Will it melt you?" Jack asked, indicating that this thing was indeed dangerous.
"My saliva can neutralize this acid and heal its wounds, otherwise I would have been riddled with my own pricks long ago." Rosa looked helplessly at the syringe, then released it.
"Bumblebee, why are your sentiment indicators rising?" The ambulance driver looked up at Bumblebee, noticing the data on the monitor.
"Buzz... Beep beep." Bumblebee said he was reminded of the Iron-Eating Bug. Yes, that's it. Yes, he was scared, so the indicator was rising.
