"Is there a power outage?" Blessing raised his head and asked curiously
"How so? That's impossible! "As the core upper management of NERV, Misato knows that the behemoth of NERV will never have a power outage due to lack of power
"Strange, is it an accident?" Misato frowned and said in confusion
"Could it be that Akagi made a mistake in the experiment," Blessing said with a smile on his hand, holding his waist with his hand, and not in a hurry
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
Machine Zero started the experimental field again, the last experiment was not very successful, today, when Ritsuko and the staff were preparing to conduct the test again before Ikari Hong arrived, the lighting facilities of the entire experimental field were extinguished in an instant
"The mains power is stopped, the voltage is 0," Maya said to Ritsuko, who was silent
All the staff stared at Ritsuko with their fingers pressed on the emergency power button
"No... It's not me," Ritsuko explained, awkwardly sensing that she had become the focus of everyone's attention
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
Inside the elevator
"What do you think?" The magnetic voice of the blessing sounded
"But I'll switch to backup power soon."
Misato pinched her waist with both hands, looked calm, and didn't look anxious at all
The blessing shrugged his shoulders as he looked at Misato's calm appearance, and smiled meaningfully
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
NERV main control room
"No, I can't connect to the reserve line," a staff member reported back
"How is this possible? And what about the electricity lines? Dongyue was angry at the top of the main control room, as the deputy commander, when he was present, Nerv made such a big mistake, he couldn't tolerate it because of his serious personality
"There's only 1.2% power left, and it's still the repair line from 2567 onwards," Maya replied loudly in a trumpet shape with her hands underneath her overalls
"Transfer all the power that is still on to MAGI and the ecological maintenance system!" Dongyue commanded with the desk in front of him
"But this will have an impact on the life support of the entire building," Aoba replied weakly
"It's okay! This matter is more important," Dongyue said impatiently and loudly
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
Just as the entire NERV was in turmoil, Ikari Hiroshi had already arrived at the door of the headquarters with Rei Ayana, Shinji, and Asuka
What is different from usual is that when several teenagers were swiping their passes in front of the door, the steel door that usually reacts quickly did not react at all, blocking several people from the door
"What are you guys inking! Get out of the way"
Asuka said, pushing away Ikari Hong, who was silent in front of the door, and brushed it over and over again with his pass, but the door still didn't respond
"Can't you see there's a problem?" Rei Ayanami on the side was dissatisfied with Asuka's rude behavior towards Ikari Hong, and asked dissatisfiedly
"What?!!" Asuka shouted unhappily
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
Ritsuko shone a flashlight into the pitch-black surroundings, and Maya followed as the two walked towards the power station, where many employees with iron crowbars helped pry open the automatic sensor doors that had once operated electrically
"Anyway, when I got to the power station, I didn't restore the electricity after seven minutes," Ritsuko frowned and walked solemnly
On the other side, there were two people trapped in the elevator
"It's not simple," Misato said with a frown, as she removed the protective case that connected to the wires and studied the emergency aid equipment in the elevator
"Where's the power here?" Blessing asked
Misato half-squatted on the ground, and when she heard this, she turned around and said, "There are three lines: positive, secondary, and reserved, and it is incredible that the power will be cut off together."
Misato said, standing up, her brow filled with doubt
The blessing raised his head and said thoughtfully
"If that's ......"
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
"It's not so much a power outage as someone cutting off the power supply."
Ikari Gendo said in a deep tone, maintaining his trademark movements, sitting in his chair
"Whatever the reason, if the apostle attacks at this time, it will be terrible" Dongyue lit a candle with a lighter on the side, dropped a few drops of wax oil on the table, and after fixing it, as soon as the voice fell, the intercom in the main control room came with the last information he wanted to hear
"An unknown object reacts on the radar, and the landing location is predicted to be in the area of Old Atami" The voice of the intelligence department personnel came from the radar, which had the few remaining batteries to maintain it
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
United Nations Commander-in-Chief
Integrated Security Control Room
The three generals of the United Nations sat in front of the screen and looked at the huge unidentified creatures displayed on it
"It's an apostle, isn't it?"
"What are you going to do?"
"Let's make an alert, old rules"
"Anyway, its destination must be the third new Tokyo city"
"yes, it's okay, it's none of our business anyway"
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
The area around Old Atami
A giant spider-like creature with four long black legs slowly landed
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
NERV headquarters
on the way to the power room
"This ladder, I thought it was an ornament of the last century, I didn't expect it to be used" Since the power generation room is on the upper floor of the main control room before Ritsuko, and no electricity means that there is no elevator, so at this time Ritsuko and her little henchman Maya are climbing this Ritsuko's mouth 'last century ornament'
"Be prepared"
Maya gasped for breath and replied on the ladder
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
On the other side, Ikari Hong and his party were still trying from room to room
"This won't work either," Asuka said aloud after wiping her hand against a room's fingerprint sensor and learning that it was useless
"It's a little strange that all the equipment can't move," Rei Ayanami said calmly, doing the same thing
"Are you saying what's going on down there?"
"It's natural to think so," Rei Ayanami said in the same tone
"It's more appropriate than a power outage," Ikari muttered with a frown
If you are careful, you will find that the tone and demeanor of Ikari Hong's speech at this time and the content of what he said are basically the same as his father Ikari Gentang
"Anyway, let's get in touch with NERV HQ as soon as possible."
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
Inside the elevator, the temperature has gradually increased due to the lack of electricity
"No, the emergency phone can't be reached," Misato said with a nervous look as she put down the emergency phone placed in the elevator
meanwhile
In the main control room, Aoba put down the phone in his hand at the same time and turned back and said, "No, the 7075 line can't be connected"
The other side
Rei Ayanami put down the phone in the phone booth and turned to Ikari and said
"No, can't be reached"
Ikari looked at Rei Ayaba's 'what to do' expression and nodded to signal not to worry
"It doesn't work here, I can't even get through to the emergency line" Asuka also put down another phone on the side, frowning
"What should I do?" Shinji put down the last call and asked in the same confusion
Ikari Hong took out the cigarette case sent by the blessing, took out one and lit it, looked at the three teenagers and girls who were staring at him, spit out his eyes, and said lightly
"Didn't Misato give you instructions in case of an emergency?"
"Anyway, let's go to the headquarters first," Rei Ayanami whispered as she took the little red notebook in her hand at some point
That little red book is the 'emergency manual' that Ikari said before
"That's right, then, let's decide on the leader of the squad before we act" Asuka squinted her eyes when she heard this, as if she was saying 'it's me, it's me'
"Of course, I'm the leader, no objections, right?" Asuka straightened her waist, pinched her waist with both hands, raised her proud face, and said with a radiant expression
Ikari Hong was silent "........."
Rei Ayanami looked at Ikari Hong, then at Asuka and then at Asuka without saying anything more "............"
Shinji also glanced at his brother and lowered his head ".................."
"Then, let's go"
Asuka said, turning to face the opposite side of the entrance
Shinji and Ikari Hiroshi looked at Asuka suspiciously
"The seventh passage from here can go underground."
Rei Ayanami said, holding the open manual, looking at Asuka's back
Asuka turned pale on everyone's back, and the corners of her mouth twitched......
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
Ikari and his party came to the iron gate with 'r_07' written on it
"But you have to open the door first, ah! ⦠Manual doors? Shinji looked at the huge hand shaker in front of the door, and his tone couldn't help but tremble
"Alright, it's time for the boys to behave," Asuka said angrily
Ikari touched his head and ignored Asuka's words
"Ahh
Shinji turned the wheels so hard that his whole body was straining, and the veins on his neck were bursting up
Ikari Hong couldn't stand it anymore, stepped forward and patted Shinji on the shoulder, and said dissatisfied
"It seems that the amount of training for you before is still insufficient, and it is so difficult to open such a door"
Asuka heard Ikari Hong say that she was her true heir, and said out loud with dissatisfaction
"Then you're going to open it? Let me see what it means to open without effort? ā
Ikari sneered when he heard this, walked to the door, and looked back at Asuka
"Optimistic"
Peng! ā¦
I saw a concise and quick return kick from Ikari Hong, and after a kick, the tonnage iron door broke in response
Rei Ayanami stood aside and held her left arm from behind with her right hand, not at all surprised
Shinji covered his face, and Asuka was stunned, sounding when Ikari Hong kicked a car in Germany in his early years
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
United Nations Commander-in-Chief
The ashtray in front of the table of the three generals was filled with cigarette butts
"Bastard's Self-Defense Forces unification meeting! Only then did you know that you were coming to ask for someone! ā
The general on the right put down the phone in his hand and said through gritted teeth
"What did the government say?" The general sitting in the center asked with a smile on his chin with his hand
"Hmph, do you mean the people from the Third Tokyo City?" The general on the right sneered and said with a yin and yang strange aura
"I heard that I was preparing to flee for my life."
On the big screen of the headquarters, the Ninth Apostle Rain Angel was moving forward step by step with steady steps, destroying countless buildings under its huge black feet along the way
"The apostle is still fine, and is on his way," the voice of a female correspondent came through the microphone
"Anyway, you have to get in touch with Nerv's people first," the generals stared at the rain angel on the screen, and the general in the center said in a deep voice
"But how do you get in touch?" The general on the left said helplessly
"Send someone directly," the general on the right said coldly
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
Thirdly, a spiral military fighter flew over the sky of the city of New Tokyo
"This is the 3rd Ward Air Self-Defense Force, and there are currently unidentified objects moving towards the city, so please evacuate directly to a designated evacuation center."
There was a burst of warning announcements from the plane
Hinata was holding a large bag of washed clothes that Misato had asked him to help take together, and looked up at the planes in the sky, the glasses flickering brightly due to the sunlight
"No, I need to notify the headquarters quickly."
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
