#620 - Chapter 57: Kill Them All
Epps looked around: "Is there really no way to salvage this? Sending the Autobots away, what will we use to resist the Decepticons? Even I can see this is a conspiracy, are those congressmen's brains filled with crap?"
Liu Yuan looked up at the huge Ark spaceship, the space shuttle pieced together on it looked as small as a toy.
Sam: "Where will the ship go after they drive the Autobots away?"
Epps shook his head: "Who knows? The orders from above are to launch the ship, as long as it leaves Earth. As for where the Autobots go, those idiots don't care!"
Time flew by quickly, and it was time for the Autobots to leave. The space center was ready for launch, and there were not only military and government personnel on site, but also those ubiquitous media people. Almost all the well-known news media sent their interview teams. Just the TV stations alone sent ten helicopters, and if it weren't for the military aircraft driving them away, they could have flown to the side of the Ark to film.
Liu Yuan and others who had friendships with the Autobots came to see them off.
William saluted Optimus Prime: "I'm sorry, I'm a soldier and can only obey orders." After speaking, he turned and left. He had fought side by side with Optimus Prime for more than six years, and his feelings for the Autobots were no less than Sam's.
Sam: "I'm also very sorry, Optimus Prime, I really don't want you to leave."
Optimus Prime: "Your leader is right, this crisis was brought about by me. It was my insistence on reviving Sentinel Prime, and I didn't expect his betrayal. Humanity has paid a huge price, and you shouldn't have to pay for my actions."
Liu Yuan: "Although the US government has ordered your expulsion, they cannot represent all of humanity. I think you can go to China, Jazz and the others are doing well there."
Optimus Prime: "No need, the spirit of the Autobots has been passed down for tens of millions of years, and the glory of the Autobots should not disappear in my hands. It's just wandering in the universe, we are already used to it."
"Hiss~!" A jolt of electricity shot out from the watch, Sam endured the pain. He gritted his teeth and asked: "Optimus Prime, what are you planning to do? I know you must have a counterattack plan, are you summoning reinforcements in the universe? You can tell me, I won't tell anyone."
Optimus Prime: "I have no plan, Sentinel Prime is right, I lost the battle here. Sam, you can lose confidence in us, but you can't lose confidence in humanity."
Simmons: "Then what should we do, just submit to the Decepticons?"
Optimus Prime: "Although you are my friends, your leaders have made a choice, from now on you will fight alone." After speaking, he straightened up and walked towards the rocket, but after taking two steps, he turned back and said to Liu Yuan: "Liu Yuan, my friend. I don't know if there will be a chance to see you again after this separation. Please take care of Jazz and the others, and my compatriots have been wandering in the universe for too long, I hope they can have a period of peace."
Liu Yuan: "Don't worry, Optimus Prime. The cabinet takes good care of Jazz and the others, the policies there are not quite the same as here."
Optimus Prime nodded and strode away, saying to Bumblebee as he passed by: "It's about to take off, hurry up."
Bumblebee walked over and squatted beside Sam. Seeing that the two had something to say, Liu Yuan greeted Bumblebee and walked back, pushing Simmons' wheelchair along the way.
Simmons said with some emotion: "Many years later, if a child asks me, what were we doing when the Decepticons occupied Earth? How should I answer?"
Liu Yuan: "Okay, buddy. This is not something you can decide, and you are not the savior."
Bumblebee said: "Sam, my best friend. I'm sorry, I can no longer protect you and Earth, you have to take care of yourself. Sam, I have to go now, take care!"
Sam reached out and stroked Bumblebee's face, choked up and unable to say a word. The rocket was about to launch, and the Autobots urged Bumblebee to hurry, Bumblebee reluctantly left.
Sam could no longer control himself, he hugged the railing and cried incessantly.
Rocket launches are not simple, and the preparation work lasted until dusk. In order to show their attitude and let the Decepticons know the sincerity of the United States, the Autobots must be sent away by American rockets and ensure they are far away from Earth's orbit. As for where the Autobots went in the end? Who would care!
The countdown began inside the launch base: "Entering the countdown, prepare to launch! Five~four~three~two~one~zero! Launch!"
With the launch command, three huge Saturn 11 rockets ignited, the boosters spewed out large amounts of liquid oxygen and liquid nitrogen, and a large amount of smoke filled the air. The flames at the tail propelled the spacecraft into the air from afar.
In the control center, there was a huge cheer. Regardless of the purpose this time, it was also the first successful launch of a large carrier rocket by the United States in decades. Whether it was the staff or the agents, they applauded enthusiastically, celebrating the successful launch of the rocket.
Just then, Sam's phone rang. He picked it up and looked at the number. His face sank, he quickly left the control room and answered the phone: "Hello! I have done as you said, and the Autobots have left Earth. Are you satisfied with this answer?".
Dylan: "Not bad, but I need to confirm whether they will come back?"
At this time, in low Earth orbit four hundred kilometers above the ground, three American satellites were monitoring the ground. And hiding behind the satellites were three hideous Decepticons, they were Starscream, Skywarp and Thundercracker.
Starscream sneered: "It's finally our turn, Decepticons, attack!" After speaking, the three Decepticons transformed into fighter jets at the same time and swooped down towards the ground.
They fell at an extremely fast speed, and soon saw the Ark taking off. "Attack!" With Starscream's order, the three fighter jets simultaneously launched at least 40 missiles, flying towards the Ark at a speed exceeding Mach 10. At this speed and distance, even if the Autobots detected the danger, it would be too late to react.
"Boom boom boom boom~" Continuous explosions came, the thousands of tons of fuel carried by the three large rockets produced explosions sufficient to destroy everything. Even a alien spaceship like the Ark was torn to pieces in the first moment. The humans on the ground could only see large pieces of debris burning and falling in the air.
Sam stared blankly at everything, not even knowing that the phone in his hand had fallen to the ground. Dylan's voice came from the phone: "Very good, it has been confirmed. The Autobots will not be coming back, Sam, you are free. Now, we have all worked for the Decepticons."
