Chapter 18 Death on the Barricade
"Damn little springtail, is this how you dare to attack me? Your flames are just tickling me!!!"
The Decepticon Barricade kept attacking Norton, using the cannonballs on his arms and indestructible claws. However, Norton relied on his small size and agility to constantly dodge the Barricade's attacks, and at the same time, he used the barricade's spit when he was not prepared.
High-temperature flames burned the Decepticon's body.
"No, idiot, my confidence just arrived."
Seeing the starlight with full fire coming quickly along with the extinguished street lights, Augustus once again spit a mouthful of blazing flames into the face of the barricade. When the barricade tried to attack in annoyance, he nimbly dodged it.
The attack on the barricade.
Barricade, the Decepticon land commander who is often considered a "roadblock", was completely unaware of the starlight that had already flown behind him under Augustus' harassment. Just as he raised his head angrily
When I came to crush Augustus into a meat pie, the starlight that had absorbed the electricity of the entire embankment hit the back of the barricade hard.
The barricade did not expect that an attacker would suddenly appear behind him. His energy heart was exposed from the front of the breastplate by the full force of the starlight, and Augustus also fiercely smashed the heart at the moment it was exposed.
The dragon's claws covered with bronze scales severely twisted the two main connecting tubes between the heart of the barricade and its body.
"No, ant, you should suffer under the punishment of the barricade for the rest of your life!!!"
Barricade felt his energy core being pulled by Augustus, painfully smashing the starlight behind him away, and then two steel arms slammed into his chest.
"You have no idea what I am, a stupid machine from Cybertron!!!"
Augustus's golden vertical pupils contained the anger from the Dragon King. He suddenly inserted his hands into the chest of the barricade, and then a blue fire was pulled out from the chest of the barricade by Augustus.
.
The red light in Barricade's eyes extinguished, and his arms hit his chest with the last force, but Augustus stomped hard on Barricade's chest. With the recoil, Augustus
They all jumped up with fire to avoid the final blow of the barricade, and then landed lightly on the ground.
Xingguang, who was caught off guard and received a full-strength palm from the barricade, climbed up from the big hole on the ground. She coughed a few times and then spit out a mouthful of blood.
Augustus watched with regret as the blood full of origin seeped into the ground, but in front of Starlight, he couldn't immediately collect Starlight's blood like a psychopath.
"So, this is what you call a membership task? It doesn't look difficult."
After spitting out a mouthful of blood, Xingguang felt a little more comfortable, and walked towards Augustus with the dirt all over her body.
"Hey, this is just to introduce myself to you and these mechanical bastards. Barricade is not a powerful Decepticon warrior. He is a middle-level commander who is good at lies and deception rather than fighting."
Although he was not injured, Augustus was exhausted from the struggle with the barricade and sat down on the lawn. He noticed that Starlight seemed to be very interested in the fire in his hand, so in order to gain Starlight's trust
, he threw the fire that contained all the origins of the Decepticon Barrier in his hand toward the starlight, and said at the same time:
"Take a good look, newcomer, this is the mechanical origin of these silicon-based life forms, just like the human heart. This thing is their heart. Without this thing, these ferocious-looking Decepticons will become a
Scrap metal, by the way, remember not to throw it away after reading it, this thing is a mission voucher."
Starlight looked at the Decepticon heart that still contained energy in her hand, but threw the fire back again:
"Take it, Norton. I hope this can help you realize your ideals one step further, and I feel that if I join this mission, I will not be lacking these things in the future."
"So, are you willing to accept this membership mission?"
Augustus took over the Decepticon's fire and looked at the starlight.
"Of course, at that moment, I felt like a real superhero, not a pathetic clown walking on the catwalk. Of course, you have to promise me, Norton, that after I pass the test
I can get the help I need."
A look of relief appeared on Xingguang's face. She took a deep breath, then turned around and said to Augustus.
"Still want to be part of the Tower Seven?"
"This is my mother's wish. Although she also has shortcomings, such as being too strict with me, being too controlling, etc., she did give everything for me. Watching me become the Tower Seven has been her whole life.
wish, I am her proudest daughter."
"Or is it the career she is most focused on? In any case, Miss Starlight, this is your pass. If you are ready, it is time for us to leave."
Augustus handed a white card to Starlight's hand. On the top of the white card, there was a small gray Rubik's Cube logo. Only one white square on the Rubik's Cube had its own color.
"Actually, I'm ready, let's go."
Starlight took the white card from Augustus' hand, but the card, which clearly looked like paper, gave Starlight a strange metallic cold feeling when he held it in his hand.
"Aren't you going to say goodbye to your mother?"
"No, my mother has told me since I was a child that I have to lose something if I become a superhero. We are going to protect the world from mechanical aliens, so we can't always follow our mother, right?"
Xingguang glanced at his mother from a distance, but quickly turned around.
With a smile on his face, Augustus nodded towards the starlight and dialed the phone in his hand.
"Yes, I'm on the embankment of the Raycorn River in Des Moines. There's something wrong with my car. Yes, I need you to send a tow truck to tow it away for me."
While Augustus was on the phone, he folded the body of the barricade back into the car. He dragged the barricade that looked like it had been in a tragic accident and no longer looked like a police car, holding the barricade in his arms.
