Transformers: Survival of Defective Products

Chapter 211 Guess Who I Am?



Chapter 211 Guess Who I Am?

When dealing with so many files on my desktop that they wouldn't fit, the circular saw bird suddenly looked up.

He was originally sitting on the filing cabinet by the window, like a piece of black, gray and yellow decoration.

But in an instant, his wings suddenly opened halfway.

The mechanical dog also stood up from her feet, emitting a low, alert mechanical growl.

Rumble and Confusion, who were huddled on the sofa catching up on sleep, opened their optical glasses almost simultaneously.

The pen in the vector's hand stopped.

The next second, an alarm sounded as the judicial center approached from high altitude.

[WARNING: Large flying unit approaching.]

[Speed ​​abnormal.]

[Too close.]

[It is recommended to activate the defense plan.]

The circular sawbird flew up from the filing cabinet, the mechanical dog stood in front of the vector, and Rumble and Confusion jumped off the sofa.

The pen is lowered by the vector, and the magnetic attraction presses slightly on the fingertips.

Her first thought was that it was an enemy attack.

Those who can get so close to the judicial center and still cause the warnings to scream all the way are basically not normal people.

Then she looked out the window and saw a familiar, huge silhouette.

A massive mechanical dragon swooped down from the sky, its wings casting shadows across the outer wall of the judicial center, like a vast, moving patch of shadow.

The vector motion paused: "...Wait."

She was just about to open the window.

In the blink of an eye, the window was gone, and a piece of the wall was gone too.

The massive shockwave scattered documents throughout the office, alarms blared, the circular saw bird came to an abrupt stop in mid-air, and the mechanical dog's claws scraped a short mark on the ground.

Rumble: "Wow!"

Confused: "He barged in!"

The vector looked at the broken window frame and the cracked wall, disheveled in the wind.

The largest, most ferocious creature landed at the edge of the office, folding its wings and carefully placing its claws on the fairly solid ground—at least it felt cautious.

Looking at the shards scattered on the ground, Yin Zong took a slow breath: "You'd better have something very important to say."

As soon as she finished speaking, the enormous mechanical dragon suddenly moved.

Armor deployed, wings folded, skeleton reassembled, beast feet retracted, claws snapped back, and the massive machine rose abruptly with a heavy mechanical transformation sound.

The vector just watched as the dragon transformed into a tall robot in front of him.

She remained silent, and so did the rumble.

Confused and bewildered, she asked in a low voice, "Can it transform?"

Vector: "I'd like to ask that too."

The round-saw bird perched above her shoulder, its wings still half-open.

The vector finally regained a semblance of voice: "Will your entire race transform?"

She received no answer as the tall robot walked towards her.

His size was astonishing, taller than Megatron, and he cast a shadow as he stood in the light from the broken window.

When BICk0 and several Knights of the Law arrived at the door, they simultaneously raised their guns.

But he ignored the other machines' vigilance and only looked at the traction vector.

Then, earnestly and slowly, he said, "Guardian."

The vector was stunned. The tall, monstrous machine raised a hand and gently pressed it against its chest.

"I am Chong Yunxiao."

The office fell silent, save for the blaring alarm.

This guy... has a name now.

She was about to speak when she was interrupted by another high-altitude warning.

[WARNING: Large flying unit approaching.]

Quantity: Two.

The vector suddenly turned its head, and two enormous, ferocious-looking creatures were flying towards the judicial center in the distance.

"Mysterious Iron, Cloud Leopard," Chong Yunxiao explained in a timely manner, following her gaze.

She looked at the two enormous figures getting closer and closer, and then at Chong Yunxiao, who had transformed into human form in front of her.

This is no longer a matter of managing prehistoric mechanical beasts; these monstrous creatures can transform and name themselves, so they are Cybertronians.

More accurately—the prehistoric Cybertronian beast, Kong.

The vector desperately closed the optical mirror.

This has become a major incident.

-

Chong Yunxiao didn't know who he was at first.

All he knew was flying, hunger, danger, orders, the wind on the high platform, and different sounds.

The sound of the shockwave was steady and cold, as if its frequency would never change because of anything.

The vector is gentle, yet carries an air of authority.

She would scold him, telling him not to bite traffic towers and not to arbitrarily grab passing citizens.

She would also pat his head when he lowered his head.

To him, she was very young.

But she can train any machine, like a center that makes the world clear.

This is different from his instinctive classification of prey or commands, and it is not like the observational guardian of Shockwave.

She made him read *A Brief History of Cybertron*, the Basic Laws.

Of all the ferocious creatures, only Chong Yunxiao listened to everything, even though he didn't understand it at first.

Those images, like unfamiliar metal pieces, slowly pieced together a shape in his brain.

Later, he saw the fossils, the preserved bone fragments hanging quietly behind transparent glass.

Immediately, a distant thunderous roar seemed to echo from the depths of his flame.

Sky, war, kin, roars, firelight, and the more ancient Cybertron.

As a result, one question became increasingly clear.

What am I?

Why was I born here?

Why does the shockwave record me?

Why is the vector pointer the guardian?

Why does the world become quieter when she touches my helmet?

Finally, all the questions boil down to the same question.

--who I am?

The answer slowly emerged from the ancient fragments, as if it had always been buried within him, only to be finally awakened.

—Soaring into the clouds.

Now he's here, and he's going to tell his guardian.

-

The vector gesture signaled to the secretary and the Knight of Justice not to fire: "Put down your guns first."

So BICk0 paused for a second and adjusted his posture with Faheng Knight.

The circular sawbird was still circling in mid-air, while the mechanical dog bared its fangs.

The vector looked at Chong Yunxiao: "Your name is Chong Yunxiao?"

Chong Yunxiao nodded seriously.

"Did you think of that yourself?"

Chong Yunxiao thought for a moment and said, "It's me."

This answer is a bit incomplete, but I understood it.

Just as she was about to ask another question, Chong Yunxiao suddenly reached out his hand.

The vector looked up warily: "What are you up to now?"

Immediately afterwards, the entire machine was retrieved.

A deafening roar erupted: "Ah!!"

Confusion shot out like a cannonball, landing on Chong Yunxiao's leg: "Put her down!!"

The mechanical dog bit down on its other leg.

The round-saw bird suddenly swooped down, almost hitting him in the face.

BICk0 pointed his gun at Chong Yunxiao, his face expressionless.

Chong Yunxiao pressed the vector to his chest; the attacks were insignificant to him, barely even a bite from an ant.

He wasn't holding on tightly by his standards, but the hard chest armor pressed against the vector, causing his brain to go blank for a moment.

She hesitated for a moment: "Loosen up a bit."

Chong Yunxiao froze immediately, finally realizing that he had almost hugged the guard with a piece of metal.

He carefully released his grip: "I'm sorry."

His voice was low, even a little aggrieved: "I'm happy."

He steadily placed the vector back onto the ground.

She wasn't angry, but she realized something was even worse.

It is about fourteen meters tall, can fly, can transform, and has self-awareness...

This guy really needs to be dealt with! And ordinary methods are completely ineffective!

The vector immediately pressed his forehead for the umpteenth time: "BICk0, contact the shockwave."

"Connected."

The communication projection of the shockwave lit up, indicating that he was probably in the experimental area, and several sets of monitoring data could be seen in the background.

Yin Xiang pointed at Chong Yunxiao, who was standing in the ruins of the office: "Your eldest son has done a fine job."

Shockwave's one-eyed creature turned towards the sky and paused for a moment.

"The largest individual has completed its transformation."

Vector: "I see it!"

Shockwave continued, "And it possesses self-awareness."

"I know that too!"

"The progress is faster than expected."

The vector's voice became so calm that even the miniature giants in the office didn't dare to interrupt.

"He can shapeshift, why didn't you say that?"

Shockwave answered very seriously: "Based on surviving prehistoric data, the Giant Predator was capable of transformation."

"However, the data is incomplete, and the individual in question has not previously exhibited such behavior."

Pointer vector: "..."

"Therefore, this cannot be confirmed," Shockwave said. "Information that cannot be confirmed should not be submitted as a conclusion."

The vector-directed closed optical mirror.

She shouldn't be angry, really, that's what shockwaves are.

...Okay, but she was still angry.

A low, rumbling voice whispered, "He's finished."

Confused, she whispered furtively, "He's really finished."

The mechanical dog let out a low growl as a sign of agreement.

The circular sawbird perched on the filing cabinet, ready to watch the execution.

The vector didn't react immediately; he gritted his teeth and stared at the projection of the shockwave.

"You didn't create a few beasts, you created a race, and that race is clearly Cybertronians."

Shockwave's single eye turned slightly: "Logically speaking, this judgment is likely to be true."

Vector: "Shut up! I don't want to hear your nonsense right now!"

Shockwave: "..."

"Come here now."

"On its way."

Communication lost.

Yin Vector turned to look at Chong Yunxiao, who was also looking at her.

Those optical lenses reflected a newfound clarity, but also a lingering, bewildered bestiality.

Xuan Tie and Yun Bao were already standing at the edge of the office, no longer running around aimlessly.

BICk0 quickly arranged for guides, legal knights, and maintenance teams, and casually glanced at the exterior wall of the office.

She now increasingly appreciates how wise it was that when she first became Chief Justice, she invested two-thirds of her savings in the judicial center; otherwise, where would they get the maintenance fees!

-

The shockwave came very quickly.

As he stepped into the office, the fragments were swept aside by the Knights of Law, and Chong Yunxiao stood in the emptiest area, while Xuan Tie and Yunbao waited beside him.

As soon as Shockwave entered, Gravitation Vector walked over: "Gravitation Vector, I need to explain..."

She raised her hand and tapped his antenna, but with relatively restrained force.

The shockwave abruptly stopped.

"The first time was because you failed to report that the giant monster might transform."

The second blow struck his red eye precisely in an instant, the force clearly irrational, and even used magnetic attraction.

Shockwave quickly covered the optical lens.

"Awooo—!"

All the machines in the office went silent.

He burst into laughter, revealing sixteen large teeth, and silently recorded a video, sending it to Soundwave.

The circular sawbird's wings flapped happily, and its mechanical tail lightly swept the ground, pretending not to hear the shockwave's painful cry.

The vector withdrew its hand: "The second time was because your private project almost escalated into resurrecting a prehistoric race without you saying so beforehand."

Shockwave covered his one eye, his voice pausing for a moment: "I have complied with the order to prohibit further cloning."

So you can still stand up now.

Yin Vector plopped down on his desk, clutching his head and groaning:

"From this moment forward, any monstrous creature possessing self-awareness, or exhibiting nascent signs of self-awareness, will enter the Cybertronian individual identity verification process."

She looked at the shockwave, gritting her teeth:

"You are only responsible for daily care and observation! You have no authority to make decisions!"

"That makes sense." Shockwave chose not to argue.

BICk0 generates files synchronously.

[Chong Yunxiao: Temporary registration.]

[Identity: Cybertronian individual, pending full confirmation.]

[Category: Predacon/Prehistoric Beast King Kong, to be added.]

[Guardianship Status: Temporary guardianship by the judicial center.]

[Main monitoring functions: vector detection, shockwave detection.]

Chong Yunxiao looked at the words, then looked down at his hands: "Am I a Cybertronian?"

The vector softened its tone slightly: "It seems so at the moment."

Chong Yunxiao nodded slowly and solemnly.

-

Chong Yunxiao remained silent throughout the registration process.

He learns very quickly; he listens attentively and takes careful notes, which is better than many adult Cybertronians.

It's at least stronger than some Decepticons.

The vector has not been named yet, lest Megatron, far away in Charondu, suddenly sneeze.

When registering the ethnic information, Chong Yunxiao suddenly looked up: "Same ethnicity."

Yin Vector paused writing: "Hmm?"

Chong Yunxiao looked at the shockwave, then at her: "There are still many... Can we bring them back?"

The office was quiet again.

He was simply wondering, knowing that he had been cloned, and naturally wanted to see more of his kind.

Yin Xiang put down his pen: "Now you have your own kind, Xuan Tie, Yun Bao... you are not one."

Chong Yunxiao was still looking at her, his eyes filled with expectation.

"But cloning is something you can't do casually."

"A life comes into the world not to fill someone's loneliness, nor to complete someone's project."

"After it wakes up, it will have to face this world."

"You have to learn, choose, and even bear your own pain and freedom."

"So we must first determine whether the world is ready to accommodate it."

She paused for a moment, her voice becoming even gentler:

Not yet.

Chongyunxiao's optical lens dimmed a little, which was somewhat disappointing.

The vector was not avoided, so I gently comforted him.

"Even if this matter is to be discussed in the future, it must be decided jointly by the judicial authorities, yourselves, and the ethics review committee."

Chong Yunxiao nodded slowly, his disappointment lessening considerably.

"I'll ask you later."

"Ask yourselves too." Vector patted his arm. "Your own will is important."

Chong Yunxiao seemed to understand seriously for a moment before nodding again: "I've got it."

The vector finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Just as Ke Qi let out a sigh of relief, Chong Yunxiao lowered his head, immediately alerting Yin Xiang.

Chong Yunxiao lowered his head more carefully this time, gently touching her raised palm with his head sculpted head, and instinctively nudging her in his beast form.

The robot's movements were a bit clumsy, but also quite genuine.

She couldn't hold back anymore, laughed, and patted his head.

Chong Yunxiao hummed softly, as if he was quite satisfied.

She suddenly felt that the future structure of the judicial center might really become more and more outrageous.

Cybertron needs to make room for Skyward.
