"Something is approaching rapidly?"

Sun Cheng paused for a moment, then raised an eyebrow.

Have we been discovered?

His good mood was disrupted by the thought, and he impatiently waved his command, saying, "Is it a Russian or American anti-submarine reconnaissance aircraft? Increase speed to the maximum and prepare to submerge..."

He thought it was Ghost number that had exposed itself when it passed through the Bering Strait just now. After all, the Bering Strait is only a few tens of meters deep, and both the Russian and American militaries have deployed detectors on the seabed to monitor enemy submarines.

But as soon as this thought came up, Sun Cheng quickly realized something was wrong.

"Wait, we just passed through the Bering Strait. Even if we were spotted, their arrival speed is too fast!"

He quickly looked up at Hephaestus and furrowed his brow, asking, "Can you identify the type of units detected by the radar?"

"Unable to determine, Master. We are instructing the electromagnetic spectrum. The radar detected two units, and the only thing that can be confirmed is that their initial target was not us. The radar captured their traces as they were preparing to cross the Bering Strait from the seabed... Later, it seems they also noticed us, and one of the targets started heading towards Ghost number, followed by the other target rushing towards us!"

"The seabed? It can't be human submarines. Looks like we're in trouble!"

Sun Cheng couldn't help but put down the scope and immediately stood up.

To save energy, since obtaining Ghost number, he had not activated Core's scanning function. Instead, he relied on the submarine's radar for detection and early warning.

Now, upon hearing that there were two entities capable of operating in the seabed, and their speed was comparable to that of Ghost number, Sun Cheng instantly realized the seriousness of the problem.

Without delay, he quickly activated Core's scanning function, and the powerful scanning frequency immediately locked onto two peculiar figures that were approaching Ghost number within a few nautical miles.

"This is... the Constructicons? And Sideways?"

After Core locked onto the two targets that were approaching Ghost number, Sun Cheng's face couldn't help but darken.

He recognized who they were. Both of these guys had appeared in Blackout's memory data and Frenzy's memories.

One of them was massive, even more terrifying in size than Megatron and Optimus Prime—called 'Devastator.' He was a member of the infamous violent team of Decepticons known as the Constructicons, one of the most powerful senior warriors in the Decepticon army.

Just by looking at his terrifying size, Sun Cheng knew that although Devastator didn't have the same level of fame as his brother who had joined the 'Constructions' project, he was one of the primary engineers in the Decepticon army. Devastator had single-handedly constructed a military base for Autobots during the civil war, showcasing his construction skills.

As for the other Decepticon warrior who had a similar stature to himself, Sun Cheng didn't dare underestimate him.

This guy was called Sideways. Although Sideways was not a member of the Constructicons, he had always been treated as Devastator's little brother and lackey by other Decepticons.

But Sun Cheng knew that this guy was definitely not as simple as he appeared. In fact, in some ways, he was more dangerous than the Devastator brothers.

Sideways was a highly intelligent warrior among the Decepticon army, although his combat power was not high, at least not as strong as Frenzy during the civil war, which was why he couldn't join.

However, his intelligence gathering abilities were not to be underestimated. Even in the entire Decepticon army, it was estimated that only Frenzy, Laserbeak, and Ravage at their peak were considered stronger than him.

Since then, Sideways had been staying with the Devastator brothers, acting as their strategist. In short, he was a very difficult character to deal with.

As Core scanned the opponent, the two approaching Decepticons, clearly startled, came to a halt, indicating that the enemy had identified their identities from the unique scanning frequency of these Decepticons.

Sun Cheng pondered for a moment but decided not to leave. He became interested in the appearance of Sideways and Devastator.

He immediately ordered Hephaestus to instruct the engineers to stop the submarine and float it to the surface.

Once the Ghost emerged from the water, he quickly left the command center of the Ghost and hurried towards the two Decepticons who were still in their original positions.

"It's Frenzy indeed..."

Just as Sun Cheng approached the two Decepticons, Sideways appeared with a gloating expression.

Sideways clearly knew that Frenzy had died in the second Cybertronian Civil War, so Sun Cheng's current appearance did not arouse any suspicion from him.

It seemed that this guy still harbored a grudge for being rejected when Soundwave didn't choose him.

"Sideways, Devastator, have you also been summoned to Earth? Who summoned you? Starscream?"

Sun Cheng snorted, sensing that Devastator was glaring at him. He immediately put on an impatient expression on his face and said, "Take your annoying gaze off me, you big guy. If Rumble were here, he wouldn't mind giving you a beating!"

Devastator grumbled displeasedly, waved his terrifyingly large hand, and moved his gaze away.

Indeed, he was one of the few elite warriors in the Decepticon army with the strongest construction ability, but so was Rumble.

Moreover, compared to him, who was an engineer, Rumble, despite being short in stature, was a true warrior. Although Rumble wasn't good at close combat, his fighting skills were much stronger than Devastator, who relied on his massive mechanical body for construction work.

Sideways noticed Devastator's retreat and his eyes flickered slightly.

Noticing that Sun Cheng was looking at him again, he sinisterly smiled and said, "It seems that your resurrected self is still as hot-tempered as ever. Well, it's true that we were summoned to Earth by Starscream, but now we work for Lord Fallen!"

"Lord Fallen?!"

The moment this name came out of Sideways' mouth, Sun Cheng's heart sank.

If Devastator and Sideways were indeed summoned to Earth by Starscream, it clearly indicated that after Megatron's disappearance, the "Destroyer" was ready to align with Starscream.

But now he confessed to working for this guy called "Lord Fallen." In an instant, Onslaught's words resurfaced in his mind, "Starscream is playing with fire. A super leader who has existed since the days of the Elder Council, currently in hibernation on the moon!"

It seemed that the "Lord Fallen" mentioned by Sideways was the same super leader that Onslaught had mentioned, who had existed since the days of the Elder Council!
