Chapter 162 Since you're already here, why not eat something?
The moment he stepped into the desert, Hengpao felt his temperature sensor detect a sharp drop in the outside temperature. He was unaware of the large temperature difference between day and night in the desert; he was simply puzzled—the desert was so hot during the day, how could it become so cold at night...?
The land bridge was scheduled to open in five minutes, and he needed to get back within that time. He wasn't sure if he'd have enough time...
As Hengpao thought this, the moment he stepped out, all he saw was a desert, nothing at all... except for the sandy ground illuminated by the moonlight, faintly glowing white in the darkness, and the endless sand dunes in the distance.
"Whoosh—" The land bridge was temporarily closed and would reopen in five minutes. Sideswipe looked around, searching for Rosa's whereabouts. Just as he turned around, he saw Rosa kneeling on the ground with her back to him, doing something.
Rosa wiped her mouth, temporarily put down the "Beggar's Tyrant" she was eating halfway, and casually picked up the remaining water to wash herself. There was enough water; she could clean up after finishing the whole thing without any problem.
Because the guns over there were too far away to see clearly, they quietly moved closer, making sure their footsteps were very soft, so that no sound could be heard.
But after seeing what Rosa was doing, Sideswipe's steps faltered, his fuel tank churned, and he couldn't hide the terror in his eyes. He turned and tried to run away.
He saw the corpse, a cooked corpse, and even though it was half-eaten, the shape of a Cybertronian could still be seen. It was Mask! The Mask that Rosa shot earlier that day!
Rosa is eating him!!
Sarah is eating him!
She's eating him!!
They're eating him!
Eat him!!
he! !
(((( ；°Д°))))
The instant Sideswipe turned around, a cold hand landed on his shoulder. In that instant, Sideswipe gained a profound understanding of the cold touch of the ghost hand in Russell's horror movies.
Is she cold? Of course she's cold! She just ate something to cool down, so her body must be cold right now.
Like a corpse. Serene JPG (fog)
Sideswipe swallowed the electrolyte. In those few seconds, he thought of many things: his life experiences, the reason he came to Earth, Iron Fist, Grimlock, Danny Russell, Bumblebee, Drift Skystorm, Slippery Wind Blade...
It was like a revolving lantern, even showing each and every prisoner who was taken in...
After completing the core construction, risking certain death, my neck, like a rusty gear, slowly and choppy as it twisted.
A familiar white mechanical hand with black joints, and a triangular blue light on the back of the hand, but the hand was ice cold... so cold that it gave him goosebumps.
"You're already here, why run away? Come and eat with us!" Rosa's gentle voice rang in Hengpao's ears, making him tremble and turn his head even more stiffly...
The beautiful mask was faintly illuminated by his blue optical lens, and with the brightness of Rosa's own optical lens, the beautiful mask could be seen very clearly.
But it sent chills down his spine... for example... he also saw a trace of residual energy liquid at the corner of her mouth.
Monster...a monster from the food machine!
"No, no, no, no, that's not necessary..."
Sideswipe, already trembling with fear, kept glancing toward the direction the land bridge had opened, only to hear Rosa's whispers, which extinguished his last hope.
"Shall we go together later? Four land bridges are too wasteful of resources... Let's skip one..." When he heard this, besides the fear on his face, there was also shock. He seemed not to have expected Rosa to see through his little scheme.
"You set a five-minute timer... didn't you?" Rosa smiled at him, her slightly narrowed glasses and upturned lips giving off an ordinary, innocent smile.
That smile is flawless, but it's also terrifying!
"I'll cancel it now? Can you reactivate it later and come back with me?" Although it was a question, there was no room for refusal; it sounded like a casual remark, like someone helping out and then letting you know.
It's perfectly "normal".
Several drops of condensate had already formed on the head of the Sideswipe. Looking at Rosa's eyes, the symbol of the solver appeared before him, and he finally remembered the time when Rosa was taken away by the steel clamps.
That time, she invaded the Tomb of Ai and used the extended body directly, even able to leave a message for the Black-Faced God.
Sidetalker: I'm so stupid, really.
She doesn't need a timer at all; she can infiltrate Ai's Tomb, and might even be able to activate the land bridge system at any time, operate the system internally, and cancel timers, etc.
"Let's go back together after I finish eating, okay~" Rosa deliberately paused at the end of the "oh" and dragged out the last syllable, making the sentence sound like a warning or threat.
So scary...
Thinking this, Hengpao was so frightened that he didn't dare to move. Even after Rosa sat back down to continue eating her food, Hengpao was still trapped in fear.
As Rosa ate her meal, Hengpao only glanced back a few times before being terrified. Hearing the sounds of Rosa chewing, he felt a phantom pain throughout his body...
He recognized what body parts those were, what components they were... those components were doused with gasoline as a seasoning, then Rosa used her sharp claws to separate them and eat them—
After that, Sideswipe shut down the audio receiver and sat with his back to Rosa, not daring to move, because he dared not look back and was afraid to hear that terrible sound.
Now all he can hope for is that she won't eat him after she's finished eating.
However, there's no need to worry about that. Rosa doesn't eat Autobots; if she did, she wouldn't be able to explain it to her good lieutenant—and she also wouldn't tell Sideswipe that she doesn't eat Autobots.
Rosa thought for a moment, then quickly rinsed the mask's armor, even putting the hollowed-out head back into the coffin intact, covered it, and buried it again with sand.
She ate very cleanly today, leaving nothing behind except that pile of tin foil. She even crumpled up the tin foil, dug a hole a little to the side of the coffin, and buried it there.
One last time, I washed myself, brushed my teeth, fired a shot at the small amount of energy liquid on the ground, and watched it slowly burn away, leaving nothing behind on the sand.
The man sitting on the ground seemed terrified, sitting there lost in thought, occasionally hugging himself and trembling. Just then, a huge light suddenly appeared in front of him.
It was the blue-green light of the land bridge, driven by Rosa. Sideswipe froze, turned on the audio receiver, and stared blankly as Rosa slowly walked over. After being startled, he realized that all traces had been dealt with, and there wasn't even a trace of energy left on the ground.
A chill ran down his spine as he met Rosa's enigmatic smile, realizing it was a threat.
Then, he watched as Rosa slowly walked to the land bridge and gestured for them to return, as if inviting them back to the Source of All Fire...
Hengpao swallowed a large mouthful of electrolyte and stepped inside with mechanical, hesitant steps. Fortunately, it was the familiar scrap yard.
Sideswipe has never loved the junkyard this much, really, he's practically ready to pounce on the ground and kiss it, saying "I love you" (just kidding).
However, Rosa still quietly squatted down next to him and told him what he should and shouldn't say as a warning. Seeing Hengpao nodding vigorously, she slowly left Hengpao's side.
She then lay back in her own coffin. After Sideswipe cautiously returned to his own position, Rosa resumed the operation of the surveillance cameras and deleted the record of the land bridge being opened.
Today was another fulfilling day!
Although it seemed a bit too much for Sideswipe, the bright red sports car kept trembling in its seat, as if it were quite frightened.
Hmm... I hope he'll be in good spirits tomorrow, or if he's smart enough to say he had a nightmare and didn't sleep well, no one will doubt him.
She believed that Sideswipe was a clever machine.
