Chapter 273
**The Next Day.**
At the break of dawn.
Chen Ye got up early, ready to start a new day of slaughter.
He hadn't slept at the hotel last night because he knew the Sam government was already on to him. Sleeping at the hotel wouldn't be safe.
What if someone stole the Spark Source while he was sleeping?
To avoid any mishaps, Chen Ye had spent the night in a villa.
Of course, Chen Ye didn't have time to buy a villa; he simply knocked out the owner and took over the place.
On Sam Empire's turf, he did whatever he pleased. The fact that he didn't kill anyone was already gracious!
As Chen Ye walked down the street, he suddenly noticed a police car following him...
At first, Chen Ye thought it was just a regular police car.
However.
When he saw a helicopter hovering above, he immediately chuckled.
"Decepticons? Judging by the timing, they should be showing up around now!"
Then, Chen Ye ignored the Decepticons and turned toward a nearby used car market.
Yesterday.
He had nearly emptied all the large parking lots in the city. After raiding the used car market, Chen Ye planned to move on to another city.
As for the Decepticons...
Chen Ye could be blunt: not a single one of them was worth his time!!
With his current strength, even if Megatron showed up, Chen Ye could dismantle him with his bare hands...
Only a Transformer on the level of "The Fallen" could pose any threat to Chen Ye.
...
A few minutes later.
Chen Ye arrived at the used car market.
Then.
He froze!
Because he saw an old model Chevrolet, painted yellow...
"Bumblebee?"
Chen Ye walked up to the Chevrolet and called out.
The Chevrolet showed no reaction, appearing to be just a discarded old car.
But Chen Ye's instincts told him that this Chevrolet was Bumblebee.
Chen Ye smiled slightly, then opened a box and revealed the Spark Source inside.
"Bumblebee, take a look at this!"
The moment the Spark Source appeared, the Chevrolet in front of Chen Ye suddenly shook violently.
However, before Bumblebee could transform, a black police car sped straight toward Chen Ye.
Unfazed, Chen Ye lifted his leg and kicked.
"Get out of the way!"
Boom!
Barricade, who intended to run over the human, was instantly sent flying back from where it came, nearly disintegrating from the impact!
With Chen Ye's current strength, objects weighing two or three tons were nothing in his hands.
"Clank! Clank!"
The sound of transformation echoed.
The police car instantly transformed into a giant robot.
The surrounding citizens, seeing this scene, screamed and ran as if they'd seen a ghost.
In addition to the police car, a helicopter in the sky suddenly "crashed," and upon landing, it quickly transformed into a robot even larger than Barricade.
"Buzz!"
The Chevrolet beside Chen Ye suddenly drove itself over to him, and the passenger door opened automatically.
"Baby, don't hesitate, come with me... I'll take you to a place that's a safe home for us..."
A series of love songs played from the Chevrolet's speakers.
Chen Ye knew Bumblebee's voice system was damaged and couldn't speak, so it was using love songs to convey its message.
Clearly, Bumblebee had spotted Barricade and Blackout and wanted Chen Ye to get in and leave with it.
The Spark Source was incredibly important and absolutely couldn't fall into the hands of the Decepticons.
As for Bumblebee's goodwill, Chen Ye could only acknowledge it.
"Bumblebee, don't worry!" Chen Ye said with a smile. "They're just two pieces of trash. If they think they can take the Spark Source from me, they're not qualified!"
No sooner had he spoken than Barricade and Blackout arrived in front of Chen Ye.
"Kid, hand over the Spark Source, and we'll spare your—"
Before Barricade could finish speaking, he suddenly realized a sword was embedded in his Spark.
Then, he immediately fell to his knees!
His electronic eyes instantly dimmed and went out, and he collapsed to the ground.
The Spark is the life force of every Transformer, just like a human heart!
If it's destroyed, the Transformer will die.
"You have killed a mechanical lifeform. Current mission progress: 3717/1."
Hearing the system notification, Chen Ye waved his hand, and the Xuanyuan Divine Sword automatically flew back to him.
"Villains die from talking too much; don't you know?" Chen Ye said calmly, his gaze shifting to the massive Blackout.
Compared to Barricade, who was only about five or six meters tall, Blackout appeared to be at least a full size larger.
In the original story, Blackout had a pretty tragic fate, being taken down by human soldiers...
As if understanding Chen Ye's words, Blackout wasted no time, raising the Gatling gun on its arm and firing a barrage at Chen Ye.
"Rat-a-tat-tat..."
The Gatling gun's rapid fire sprayed countless bullets like a torrential downpour onto Chen Ye.
But so what?
With Chen Ye's mastery of advanced Armament Haki, defending against such large-caliber bullets was a breeze.
Chen Ye charged directly into the hail of bullets, quickly closing in on Blackout, then leaped up and passed by Blackout's side.
"Clank!"
As Chen Ye landed, Blackout's massive head fell to the ground simultaneously.
Then, Blackout crashed to the ground, dying instantly.
The Xuanyuan Divine Sword—nothing could withstand it!
"You have killed a mechanical lifeform. Current mission progress: 3718/1."
After dispatching the two Decepticons, Chen Ye walked over to Bumblebee.
It was clear that the Chevrolet Bumblebee had transformed into had its wheels rolling backward slightly.
It seemed a bit scared of Chen Ye...
"Bumblebee, aren't you supposed to be Sam Witwicky's guardian? What are you doing here?"
A mournful song played through Bumblebee's speakers:
"...Death... might be another form of rebirth..."
Chen Ye understood and was stunned.
The protagonist, Sam Witwicky, was dead?
Chen Ye quickly realized it was likely the work of those Reincarnators.
They were looking for the glasses, and the glasses were in Sam Witwicky's possession, so a conflict was inevitable.
"My condolences... Bumblebee, I can't give you the Spark Source right now. Go contact Optimus Prime! Have him come find me in three days!"
Upon hearing this, Bumblebee immediately started the car and sped away.
This human was terrifying!
Staying around someone like that felt extremely dangerous!
