Chapter 201 Be More Reserved
Chapter 201 Be More Reserved
Before we went, Sideswipe taught everyone how to temporarily change their appearance color by scanning, just like wearing camouflage.
Although he knew the place was abandoned, he still wanted to scan it; he didn't want to have this interesting history lesson interrupted by humans.
So everyone followed suit and scanned the area. Rosa chose to use her projection to hide, but before leaving the base, Bumblebee gave Rosa some energy crystals.
"It's all up to you to give them a 'history lesson'," Bumblebee said with a smile, watching Rosa eat the energy crystal with a hint of indulgence in his expression.
Bumblebee glanced at everyone who was still in high spirits, and then suddenly had Blackface cancel the location.
"Huh? Sir? Aren't we going to use the land bridge?" Iron Fist was a little anxious to get to the next leg of the journey; she couldn't wait to see what the old base used to look like.
The pictures we can see now are all of the base after it was destroyed. Even if there are pictures from before, they are only scattered.
Most importantly! You can see your idol's past life!!
Iron Fist was excited, then heard Bumblebee answer while trying to reach Rosa.
"Don't you want to hear me tell you about things before the war?" Bumblebee said, just about to continue leading the team forward, when suddenly the ambulance grabbed both his and Rosa's shoulders at the same time and separated them.
"Be more reserved as a team leader. It doesn't matter what you do in private, but it's unbecoming for a team leader to be pulling and tugging at each other," the ambulance whispered to Bumblebee.
He looked at Bumblebee with a helpless expression. Bumblebee was smiling sheepishly, while Rosa was obediently eating the energy crystal.
Bumblebee had liked Rosa for a long time, of course he knew, and he also knew that the two young women had been together, but as the team leader, Bumblebee had to be a little reserved. He didn't want to see Bumblebee showing off his affection while leading the team.
What's this? They're showing off their love in front of everyone, and the team members are catching it and eating their mouths full.
The ambulance driver taught them a lesson, so they didn't have much close contact along the way; they walked side by side.
During the conversation, Bumblebee also mentioned many interesting things, such as the bad things they did when they were digging up the relics, including but not limited to:
The sword was taken, and the excavated mountain was restored so they could dig it up again. The contents of the reliquary were taken, and the reliquary had to be buried back. In Egyptian tombs, they even helped push the stones back in.
Basically, the main idea is to kindly help you restore it, only to have you dig around for ages only to find it was all for nothing.
Oh right, it seems that Rosa started the 'restoration' operation back then. It's a bit of a shame that the others didn't. After finding the jars and taking them away, we should have left them one of the Resé jars.
The main point is to listen to whether this sacred object makes a sound.
As Bumblebee finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter. It was indeed amusing; these little details about the "black core" would never be written in history books.
However, things might be different when Rosa returns, since she started it, and who knows, it might actually be written into the book later?
They laughed and joked their way to the old base. It was quite different from what Rosa had imagined. The old base was surrounded by metal warehouses like the later bases, and various protective nets.
This was clearly a military area, but it was probably abandoned because there wasn't a single human in sight, the gates were wide open, and one of the doors was almost falling off, swaying slightly in the dry wind.
So they even came in to study it later?
"Humans didn't get any Cybertronian technology from this old base because we kept it all underground and never told them about it," Bumblebee explained to the machine behind him, while the ambulance nodded in agreement.
"Even during the handover process later, it didn't happen, but that's not what I was worried about." The ambulance driver said, nodding to Bumblebee to signal us to come over.

"It seems the space bridge is still relatively well preserved," the ambulance said, standing on the rocks on the outer edge of the base. From the outside, their base looked like a large mountain, but the back had been bombed, and a large chunk of the mountain was missing.
They climbed the rocks and entered the base. Even though the place was bombed beyond recognition, the original plans and appearance were still visible.
"Stay alert, in case the previous defense system is still active." Bumblebee took the lead, telling everyone, "Humans won't trigger it; the defense system only targets robots."
Bumblebee was talking about the past, while Rosa and the ambulance started investigating what the old land bridge looked like.
"This is what I'm worried about."
The ambulance crew was somewhat helpless. They disassembled the outer casing and found that some parts had already melted due to the high temperature.
The explosion, the flames, the vibrations, and the high temperatures caused many parts to either crack or melt.
Some of the pipes were so brittle that they broke apart with the slightest touch. It's hard to know what the inside of those seemingly usable parts is like.
"Oh, back then, the partition challenged my arm strength, ha! We almost destroyed two floors of the base," Bumblebee said nostalgically.
"If you put it that way, I also remember going out to catch a phone in the middle of the night, and ended up catching an extra one." Ambulance's lips twitched as he looked at Rosa and gave her a playful wink.
"It's the bumblebee we caught together~" She made a gun gesture with both hands in front of another land bridge structure, pointing it at the ambulance, and then watched the ambulance flip over, uh, blue eyes.
"I'm the one who caught you." The ambulance driver had no choice but to continue disassembling the obstructing parts to find the hardest and most important component.
This thing was forged by Rosa at the base, so it should be quite sturdy.
Originally, the ambulance was only thought to be usable, but unexpectedly, among the pile of melted or broken things, only that part was of good quality and still gleamed with a brand new sheen.
"Rosa, do you think this still works?" The ambulance carefully removed the part, and Rosa peeked out, nodded, and then tossed the data board over.
"You even prepared this?" the ambulance driver exclaimed in surprise, watching Rosa continue to speed up her movements.
"I forged it in the junkyard before. Speaking of which... Bumblebee, go check my old weapons research lab and see if my blacksmithing equipment is still there and if it's still usable."
She waved, and Bumblebee, who was still explaining to the other Autobots, agreed and went to search.
"A weapons research lab?! There's a weapons research lab?!" Iron Fist was still very excited and extremely curious about what was inside.
"Lieutenant! I'll go take a look too!" Iron Fist excitedly ran over to help search, and Sideswipe also helped when he saw Iron Fist go over, along with Steel Lock.
