Captain, your ship has exploded again.

In her Los Angeles oceanfront apartment, Aria held a key and a letter. Of course, the key wasn't the key to the apartment, but rather the first authentication key for a large spaceship. The letter's contents were simple: congratulations on her marriage to Hobbes.

The letter did not specify whether their whereabouts could be revealed, but Ailiya, who had worked with Zhang Xun, knew very well that Zhang Xun had not forgotten to give her instructions, but was testing her.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Ailiya's intelligence department seems very strong. There is another 'related department' in China. This is not a baseless guess, but a deduction based on Zhang Xun's personality. Because a qualified Lao Liu would never put all his eggs in one basket.

In Mars orbit, a large transport ship is preparing to depart.

"Optimus Prime, I kept my promise. This is your 'Dawn.' Go! Away from the solar system, away from humanity."

Zhang Xun, dressed in casual clothes, stood with his back to Optimus Prime, seemingly unconcerned and completely unprepared.

Optimus Prime glanced at the spaceship outside the window, then turned to look at Zhang Xun in front of him, and sighed.

"Blue Planet, with its oxygen, is not suitable for us super-mutants. I have already sent the message to all super-mutants in the universe to leave Blue Planet, Elder..."

"Forget about him. As the culprit who almost killed me, I will never hand him over to you."

Optimus Prime seemed to put something down with great difficulty, then turned and walked towards the gate.

With the gates fully closed, the battle did not take place on the landscape bridge.

"It seems your trap hasn't worked as intended."

Zhao Wanyang walked out through a partition door.

"I think Zhang Xun's method is outdated. Real strategies don't involve so many twists and turns; it would be better to just kill him directly."

Wang Ge and Sun Hui also walked out of the isolation door.

"Nonsense, do you think the Optimus Prime Society didn't know they were dealing with Optimus Prime and his group for no reason?"

Zhang Xun was, of course, the last one to come out, and at this moment everyone looked at the other Zhang Xun in front of them.

This isn't because he knows any clone techniques; it's because he uses a cyborg as a substitute. Zhang Xun certainly wouldn't take such a big risk by not wearing armor in front of Optimus Prime.

Everything they did was to get Optimus Prime to attack the dummy.

Of course, to make it realistic, this cyborg is almost identical to a real human. As for why a clone is not used, it is mainly to avoid some trouble in the future, so that the clone will not have the idea of ​​replacing the original.

Wang Ge curled his lip and said, "It would be best to take care of Qingtian Sheng as well. I get annoyed just looking at it now. Ouch, ouch, ouch, wife, go easy on me."

Zhang Xun knew perfectly well why Wang Ge said that. If Qingtian Sheng were just a short-haired beast, Wang Ge might not have been so jealous, but the other party was a silicon-based life form.

However, Sun Hui just wanted a plush pet that wouldn't die easily. If it weren't for the fact that even the creatures Zhao Wanyang created couldn't withstand Sun Hui's power, this wouldn't have happened. Of course, since following Sun Hui, Qingtian Sheng has been to the repair shop quite a few times.

If Wang Ge hadn't witnessed Qingtian Sheng's miserable state so many times, given his personality, he might have secretly killed Qingtian Sheng one day.

Zhang Xun pulled out the Disintegration Gun and blasted his own cyborg into ashes with a single shot.

"Zhao Wanyang, are you sure Optimus Prime won't notice anything amiss with this thing?"

Zhao Wanyang, who was checking the information terminal, glanced at Zhang Xun with disdain and said, "Is it a problem with your scanner, or does it just not look like it?"

Of course, anything used to deceive silicon-based life forms wouldn't be unverified.

Forget about the eyes; Zhao Wanyang has already achieved bio-verification of her cyborg eyes, and even the number of hairs she has is the same as Zhang Xun's.

Uh, okay, Zhang Xun doesn't have any hair on his head now (it was previously explained that it was removed).

Wang Ge scratched his head and said, "Is it because the cyborgs don't fart, and Optimus Prime noticed?"

Zhang Xun kicked Wang Ge in the butt and said, "Does your family's normal people keep farting?"

Just as the others were wondering why Optimus Prime wasn't taking action, Optimus Prime, who had already stepped aboard the Dawn, finally felt the spark within his body stabilize.

Previously, when he faced Zhang Xun, his AllSpark was constantly agitated. Of course, it wasn't the kind of agitation that wanted to attack the other party, but rather a kind of warning. If it weren't for the abnormality of the AllSpark, Optimus Prime would have used the energy axe in his arm to kill Zhang Xun, the culprit.

Back in Los Angeles, he had sworn to kill Zhang Xun, but when faced with the choice between the life and death of his people and his own vow, he chose to let his people live.

Inside the spaceship, Optimus Prime looked up towards the landscape bridge. Although the spaceship's isolation layer prevented him from penetrating it, it was as if he had some kind of intuition that made him look in that direction.

"There is ample time."

After saying that, Optimus Prime turned and walked toward his fellow countrymen.

Zhang Xun, on the scenic bridge, saw everything through the spaceship's internal monitor.

"Holy crap, this thing's become sentient! There's a legend in China that spirit stones can turn into monsters. Even though Optimus Prime has been refined, it's not unheard of for objects to become sentient!"

Zhang Xun's exaggerated performance was mainly due to the fact that the interior of the 'Dawn' spaceship was completely shielded and isolated. Theoretically, it was impossible to perceive the outside world without the spaceship's internal equipment. Even the most advanced particle ray capture device could not see outside through the spaceship's shielded outer shell.

Wang Ge, who was standing next to him, leaned over and glanced at the playback inside the spaceship, saying, "Could it be that the robots discovered this place by observing the angle?"

Upon approaching, Zhao Wanyang shook her head and said, "To prevent the other side from hoarding technology and launching a penetrating attack based on pre-calculated calculations, the ground angle and overall gravity on the 'Dawn' side are different from here. The result seen through the window is a deflected view. Basically, Optimus Prime shouldn't be looking this way."

As a seasoned FPS player, Zhang Xun couldn't possibly be unprepared for pre-aimed attacks. Even though the Cybertronians had been defeated and their spaceships were specially reinforced, he wouldn't expose himself so easily. Who knew if the enemy also had a hidden weapon or a whole host of weapons?

"Forget it, they're about to leave the solar system anyway. The rest is between the humans of Earth and them. Sun Hui, you should go back and rest!"

Seeing Zhang Xun's words, Sun Hui skipped and hopped off to find her big toy.

When she found Optimus Prime in another location, it was just as the Dawn ship was leaving.

"Little Shengsheng, what are you looking at? Look, I brought you some fresh bamboo!"

Sun Hui handed the bamboo she was dragging behind her to Qingtian Sheng. This was her favorite show: watching the giant pandas eat bamboo and play with sticks.

The Optimus Prime helplessly closed the video and turned to look at the small, thin figure behind him.

He has confirmed that Optimus Prime and the others have left safely, and the video he saw earlier was the entire process of the spaceship's departure.

"Huihui, I can't digest this. How about we go drink some cyber energy drinks? I won't eat the bamboo, it'll give me an upset stomach. I'll show you how to use a stick instead!"

Sun Hui shook her head firmly and said, "No, drinking that will make me lose my appetite. Food is the only proper meal when we're not fighting. Besides, what's wrong with eating bamboo? Pandas eat bamboo, don't they? If it really doesn't work, I'll have Zhao Wanyang take a look at you."

Faced with Sun Hui's unusual insistence, Qingtian Sheng felt utterly helpless, truly a case of a bear forced to bow its head under the eaves.

The Heavenly Saint Bear Paw trembled slightly as he picked up the bamboo and slowly put it in his mouth to chew. This was not because he was being pretentious, but because bamboo contains a lot of bamboo fiber, which often gets stuck between various parts of his stomach. If the Heavenly Saint could shed tears, there would probably be two deep rust marks on his face.

After basically finishing up the matters in the Super Variable Universe, Zhang Xun looked at the 130,000-strong, downgraded fleet with satisfaction. Although the lack of materials prevented the construction of fully-fledged battleships, Zhang Xun was already very familiar with the process and only needed to go back and make some minor modifications to restore the combat power of these warships.

Although it didn't yield as many results as Star Wars or other universes, it was still much better than launching the Warhammer universe directly.

"All fleets depart from the dock, target coordinates XXX, all bases enter semi-dormant state, security identification activated."

Soon, the massive fleet sailed from various locations toward their designated targets, and the production bases on Mars gradually ceased operations, leaving only a few energy plants still running.

This is to avoid wasting resources and put the entire Mars base into energy-saving mode. As for the few factories that are still in operation, they are reserved so that when Earth can take over the base in the future, there will be enough energy to replenish and start the production lines.

"Remember the guilt, mission complete!"

Just as they were about to leave the Hypervariant Universe, a special signal was delivered to Optimus Prime.

When Zhang Xun and his companions left the Super Variant Universe, the 'Dawn', which was already far from the solar system, experienced a violent explosion in its power core when it could no longer receive signals, instantly killing all the Cybertronians on board.

It was at this moment that Optimus Prime understood why Megatron ultimately wanted to destroy Earth; perhaps indecisiveness and mercy were not suitable for this universe.

If Optimus Prime had a deeper understanding of Chinese civilization, he would have realized that the name Zhang Xun gave their spaceship foreshadowed their fate.

Dawn itself signifies the end of a twilight.
