Chapter 122: The Fourteenth Apostle Strikes

Drip...... Drip...... Drip......

Asuka's hospital room was extremely quiet, only the sound of the heartbeat detector, and Shinji's face looked pale and weak as he looked at the person on the bed. Time flies, more than thirty hours seem to be almost non-existent, an hour ago, Ritsuko once called, if another hour Asuka has not recovered, maybe she will not be able to wake up again in this life.

Ritsuko's words hit Shinji like a bombshell. But there was nothing he could do about it. Looking at Asuka who was unconscious on the bed, Shinji was extremely heartbroken.

"Shinji ......" Rei, who was on the side, also understood that every second was a torment for Shinji now. But I can't do anything for her. I can only leave here silently, giving Asuka and Shinji a separate space.

Walking out of the hospital gate, Rei stepped to the vending machine not far away, in order to accompany Asuka, Shinji hasn't eaten much recently, so he planned to come out and buy something to deliver to Shinji, but as soon as he walked to the vending machine, a strong shaking swept here. The tremor made the entire subterranean city tremble. Earthquake? Liz leaned against the wall. No, if it was an earthquake, it couldn't have been so sudden. Could it be......

Bell bell bell ...... Bell bell bell ......

The ringtone of his mobile phone seemed to verify his words, and when he picked up the phone, Misato's hurried voice rang in his ears, "Li, where are you?" ”

"Near Asuka's treatment room."

"Okay, go to the hangar right now! The Apostles have attacked! ”

“…… Be! Hanging up the phone, Li's eyes froze, and without hesitation, Li's steps ran in the direction of the hangar.

On the other hand, the NERV headquarters is already in chaos. Red warnings filled the screen, and in front of them, an apostle with the appearance of a devil was slowly flying towards the NERV headquarters. Behind his devilish face was his distorted body, why say distorted? For from the front, this apostle did not have any limbs. It's like a strange body that has been cut off by life and wrapped in layers of heavy bandages. But such an apostle. His abilities terrified all of NERV.

"The Fourteenth Apostle, is Zerel the strongest rejection type?" At the NERV headquarters, Dongyue stood in front of the command platform and frowned. "It's terrifying."

On the big screen, every move of the apostle was clearly seen by people, tank guns, cruise missiles, inducing rockets. Not even a mini-N2 missile could do even the slightest damage to this apostle. You can't even hold it back, not even for a second. However, the scorching light from the apostle's eyes pierced through the 24 layers of armor plates connecting the third new Tokyo city and the underground city with a single blow, and the entire underground space was instantly exposed to the sky. Thirdly, the fourth district of Tokyo City was completely reduced to ruins as a result.

"Damn, the shockwave can be felt here." In the small space, Misato clings to the wall, and after receiving the notification of the Apostle's attack, Misato rushed to the headquarters of Nerv as fast as he could. At this moment, people are speeding towards the NERV headquarters in the special transport workshop of the EVA line. Due to the urgency of the gaffe, Misato could only call Guò to give orders to the NERV personnel. "All hands go into the general battle. All the operational equipment in the fortress city has been put into use, find a way to support it, even for a while, and give priority to ensuring the safety of the citizens! "In fact, for Misato, it is also a time of impatience, and there are only three EVAs in the headquarters. Machine Zero lost its left arm from the last battle. It has not been repaired to this day. This also greatly reduced Rei's combat ability, Shinji, as the pilot of the first machine, was erased from driving because he violated the rules of the NERV, and the start of the first machine was also handed over to the puppet system to complete the pilot, theoretically not following his own command at all. And Asuka's second machine is even more ......, "Could it be." Is this also a script? In the workshop, Misato muttered to herself. In the confusion, there was a roar from the side of his transport room, and a huge red body was quickly transported to the surface of the underground city.

"EVA II?! Who's driving? Looking at the second machine that passed by by a while, Misato was surprised, wasn't it sealed? And Asuka is now also in the hospital of Nerv. How is it possible to go for driving.

"The situation is unknown, there is no order to attack from our side." Hinata's voice reached Misato's ears through the phone.

"Not us? Could it be the European side?! Misato was stunned, but soon she was dignified. It's impossible, yesterday's text jiàn isn't it...... Could it be that there is more than one person from Europe? ”

Bite~

A crisp voice interrupted Misato's confusion that the transport had stopped and the doors had opened. "There's no time left to mind him." Misato shouted into the phone, "I'll be there in three minutes, try to contact the pilot of the second plane before that, don't stop the fire of the fortress, and try to delay the apostle as much as possible to buy time!" ”

"Yes!"

――――――――――――――――――a.t.field―――――――――――――――――

Rumble!!!!!

The roar of the bomb resounded throughout the underground city, but after the smoke cleared, the intact apostle still slowly flew towards the underground city.

"The target is alive, and the second wave of attacks is ineffective."

"Allow the third wave of N2 to induce missile attacks, transfer to reinforcements! Start attacking after the Apostle breaks through the armored space. ”

In the command room of Nerv, Hinata and Aoba's voices shouted hurriedly. The battle had reached the point of crisis, but the nerv's attack alone could not cause any damage to the apostles.

"It's too late for Eva to hit the ground." While everyone was nervously manipulating, Misato's voice came from the back of the command room, and Misato had already arrived at the command post at a trot. "The activation of EVA 2 should be an order from the European side, asking for their assistance in deploying 2 on Geo.Front to meet the enemy!"

"Yes!"

"Where's machine zero?" Misato asked, turning her head.

"The pilot is in position, but the left arm of the body is still doing emergency treatment, and he is barely able to attack." Ibuki hurriedly called up the status of Machine Zero.

"After the repair is completed, I will immediately go to support the second machine. Aircraft 2 cannot be left alone. It's too dangerous. Misato ordered.

"Yes."

"Where's the first machine?" Misato looked back at Ritsuko. And all I got was a faint glance from Ritsuko.

"Preparations are being made now."

"Cut!" A voice of disdain squeezed out between Misato's teeth. "Speed up the work, we're running out of time."

Drip! Drip! Drip!

The shrill sirens sounded shortly after Misato's words fell.

"The Apostles have invaded inside geo.fornt! I'm about to encounter the second machine! ”

"How's the communication with the pilot of the second plane?"

"The status information can be determined, but the communication signal is cut off, and it is impossible to communicate and manipulate from our side."

“…… What the hell is this driver...... Does she want to fight alone? Misato frowned, her bright eyes staring closely at the second unit that had been deployed. I hope you can create a miracle. The driver of the second machine! ”

The screen cuts to geo.fornt, where the second machine is ready for battle at this moment. In the cockpit, a dashing girl wearing a pink control suit, a double ponytail, and red glasses is moving her hands, feeling the synchronization process with the second plane.

"Hmm~~ It's a good taste." The girl took a deep breath, even in the solution of LCL, the girl did not feel any discomfort when she made such an action, which shows her high proficiency in driving EVA. And this girl was the one who had contact with Shinji some time ago. The fourth qualifier from England, True Hippo, Mary, and Elantrias.

"Whew~~ It's not bad to occasionally ride an EVA with someone else's taste." Mary smiled confidently. "The fifth line of defense has been breached, if you don't kill the apostles, then the headquarters will be all over!" After speaking, Mary pulled up the joysticks in both hands, and manipulated the second machine to pick up two machine guns, aiming them at the zenith city, the moment the apostle appeared. Countless bullets flew towards the terrible apostle in an instant.

Dingdingding......

However, the strongest Apostle is not so easy to take down by ordinary machine guns. At the moment of the second machine's attack, the Apostle immediately erected a colorful wall of A.T. Field light, blocking all the bullets from the outside of his body, and at the same time, the bandages wrapped around the Apostle's body gradually spread out, turning into two long blade belts. Floating on the sides of his body, revealing the core of his chest, and behind him, the flesh bands also stretched out, and the entire apostle seemed to turn into a giant ray and slowly floated towards the second machine. With the breakthrough of Zenith City. The form of the Apostle was also completely displayed in front of the No. 2 machine, and after knowing the power of the machine gun in the hand of the No. 2 machine, the Apostle also began to prop up countless A.T. Field towards the No. 2 machine to suppress it, and soon, the No. 2 machine fell into a passive situation.

"This A.T. Field is too strong, isn't it? There's no way to break through. Looking at the wall of colored light that was almost overwhelming her face, Mary also scratched her head, but she didn't look impatient, as if she was experiencing a hearty battle. So, so what? With that, Unit Two dropped the gun in his hand and took out an alternative firearm from another weapon box, because this gun did not have a muzzle, but had a sharp, high-particle head. Short, the second machine swooped out, leaping high before approaching the apostle, and stabbed at the apostle.

While!!!!!!

A loud sound spread throughout the underground space, and the Apostle, who felt the threat, was the first to fuse the several layers of A.T. Field he had released, forming a huge wall of colored light. Nearly the entire underground city was covered by the ground, and the apostle's figure was crushed to the ground by the massive impact.

"Hey! Since the long-range attack can't be achieved, then the zero distance ......"

Bang bang bang!!

At this time, the second machine was only a few meters away from the apostle, and it was not an exaggeration to say that the zero distance was not at all, and the resonance of the a.t. field caused by the bayonet was still trembling, so from the shoulder armor of the second machine, rows of nails and spikes suddenly shot out, causing zero distance damage to the apostle, however, it was just a few meters, while the apostle was resisting the attack of the bayonet, the layers of small a.t. field also blocked those oncoming nails outside. Although the second machine on the side of the table suppressed the apostle, it did not cause the apostle to be harmed in the slightest.

Gradually, the impact of the second machine on the apostle began to decrease, and the apostle also seized the opportunity to condense the huge wall of light again, opening countless layers of A.T. field to send the second machine flying. After a round of attacks, the apostle also turned around, his eyes condensed with golden light, and layers of substantial walls of light were only lined up together. Swept towards the second plane.

Rumble!!!!

The second plane that was knocked off crashed into the ruins of a fallen zenith city, and before he could calm down, the second wave of attacks had arrived as scheduled, fortunately, Mary's combat experience was extremely high, and when she moved, Mary controlled the second plane to turn over, dodging the apostle's fatal blow, and turned back to find that the building that had just carried her impact had been reduced to pieces.

"Hey...... Well done. Having escaped the crisis, Mary's face once again had a hint of playfulness. In that case, let's give you a look. See the power of Eva after giving up her human form. ”

Lifting the glasses on her face, Mary's expression became stern. "Mode reversal, code: the.beast!" (To be continued......)
