Chapter 525: Gentlemen
"** TV broadcast live, and now I am standing 3 kilometers away from the third new Tokyo city to report live." The host of the TV station pointed to the Fifth Apostle behind her and said, of course, she kept a distance of more than ten kilometers from the Fifth Apostle, and the TV station was able to see the Apostle directly thanks to the camera produced in the Garden of Eden.
The current Garden of Eden is a world apart from fifteen years ago, because the technology of the things produced in the Garden of Eden is more than ten years ahead of the current world, and with the proper operation of Artoria and Lancelot, the Garden of Eden is now controlling the economy of Zì to the point where it can compete with Seele.
In addition, because of the damage of the second shock, the world's economies have experienced different stages of recession, and because of Wu Ming, the Garden of Eden naturally could not have any loss, and then after the second shock, the world has the opportunity to recover the economy on a large scale, and the Garden of Eden has borrowed strong economic capacity to continuously accelerate the pace of economic cannibalization.
Although the development of the Garden of Eden has encountered some problems due to the intervention of some national governments, Artoria and her family have received a lot of support through guò to continuously support the establishment of new settlements in places where there is no money to rebuild, and now even the national government wants to think about the consequences of the Eden garden.
Of course, only a short period of ten years is only enough for Eden to control the economy enough to be a part of the world, Eden has not yet done anything about political and military power, after all, this is just a new economic group more than ten years ago, if it is not for some earth-shattering events, it has no chance to get the right to speak in politics and military.
It makes Wu Ming regret that Eden still can't participate in the construction of the third new Tokyo city in the end, if Eden can make a move in the third new Tokyo city, many of Wu Ming's plans can be implemented more smoothly, and the third new Tokyo city is also the core of Seele's plan, and they will not let Eden, a group that does not belong to their own people, participate.
"According to NERV, now that a qiē is in their grasp, there has been no new action by the apostles in the last few hours." The moderator said while reading NERV's public information that this kind of information cannot be made public, but NERV gave this ambiguous answer in order to stabilize people's hearts.
Since the appearance of the Third Apostle, people around the world have gradually realized how terrible the Apostle's existence is, conventional weapons are ineffective, even the use of N2 thunderbolts with the same power as nuclear bombs can only temporarily delay the Apostle's footsteps, and the major military bases that have been trampled into ruins by the Apostles are enough to show the power of the Apostle.
NERV's eva defeated the apostle in this moment of near-despair for humanity, so for ordinary people, eva's status is similar to that of a savior, because NERV did not disclose the existence of the Apostle Zero to the media, so in the eyes of others, as long as Eva is dispatched, the apostle can be defeated.
There are mixed opinions about Eva's existence, some people think that Eva is hope for humanity, but others think that Eva is very likely to destroy the world in the end, according to the information known by ordinary people, Eva's power is enough to destroy a city in a few minutes, and if Eva destroys it without distinction between friend and foe, it is definitely no less dangerous to humanity than the Apostle.
"Turrets 29 to 96 fire." With Ikari Gento's order, a large number of turrets appeared around the Excalibur Brave, each turret had enough firepower to level a large area, in less than a second, Excalibur Brave had been flooded by the turret's firepower, and now the time was almost midnight, but the dark sky was brighter than day because of these fierce artillery fire.
"Soul barrier (pseudo), unfold." Wind Slash Binghua quickly tapped the keyboard in the cab of the Excalibur Brave, and an oval-shaped pale yellow light curtain instantly appeared around the Excalibur Brave, blocking those cannons one by one, and on the NERV monitor, Excalibur Brave is now deploying an AT force field.
Wind Slash Binghua is not using his own ability now, so the so-called AT force field that has just been unfolded is just the system that comes with the Excalibur Brave, which is a castrated version of the soul barrier made by Wu Ming based on the Apostle's AT force field, if it is really against a world-class master, this kind of Cheng Dù's defense will not play any role at all, but it can easily block attacks below the world, so it is the most effective to deal with the scientific and technological weapons of this era.
At the same time that the Excalibur Brave blocked the artillery, one of the eva-specific platforms in front of it lifted up the first machine carrying the spiral sniper rifle, and now the spiral sniper rifle used by the first machine is a kind of heavy cone-shaped bullet that accelerates and fires it at a speed of several thousand revolutions per minute, which is specially designed to penetrate the AT force field.
"Spiral Sniper Rifle, Charge Complete, Launch!!" Shinji Ikari had a trembling voice coming from the first machine, and then he deducted the plate mechanism of the spiral sniper rifle, and the vertebrae of the alloy zuò stabbed into the bilge of the Excalibur Brave with a strong whirlwind, and although the soul barrier (pseudo) resisted for a while, the spinning vertebrae eventually penetrated this protective layer.
"A crack in subspace, starting to distort space." Although it broke through the first layer of defense, it was not enough to threaten Excalibur Brave, as it also had a second layer of defense, and this layer of defense allowed it to reach the point of long-range attack immunity. Looking at the spatial crack, Shinji Ikari's hand was already shaking, and the bullet from the spiral sniper rifle disappeared after shooting into it, and if nothing else, it would reappear in the next second, and then pierce the first machine.
"It's now, Leigh." Almost at the same time that the Excalibur Brave opened the subspace rift, a platform used by EVA at the tail of the Excalibur Brave was rapidly lifted, and with the power of this lifting, the zero machine was ejected directly above the Excalibur Brave, and now the subspace crack was directly in front of it to resist the bullets of the spiral sniper rifle, so the current Excalibur Brave was almost completely undefended directly above it.
This is the way Wu Ming wrote in the battle plan to deal with the Fifth Apostle, because the subspace rift cannot defend in multiple directions at the same time (that is when the wind slash Binghua does not use his own ability), so if there is an EVA directly in front of him as a decoy for the Excalibur Brave to use the subspace rift, then the other EVA can launch a one-hit surprise attack from above.
Of course, when the decoy EVA is estimated to be very dangerous, after all, if it wants to force the Fifth Apostle to use the subspace rift, it itself has to use a super long-range attack, and with the ability of the Fifth Apostle, this blow is 99% likely to fall on this EVA's body, even if this blow does not destroy this EVA, it is impossible for it to survive the next fire of the Excalibur Brave.
As for why Shinji Ikari was the decoy, it was because the spare pilots of the first machine were all in the intensive care unit (Yakumo Murasaki, Hakurei Reimu), and Takeaki only said one sentence at the time: It was Rei Ayanami who was driving the zero machine at the time. Shinji Ikari obediently went to be a bait.,Although Shinji Ikari is usually a bit of a sissy.,But at this time, he's a master.,At least he can't do this kind of thing to let Ayanami Rei die.,And he thinks that with the AT force field he opened.,It should be able to survive.,That's why he's going to be here as an MT now.。
"In this direction, it's okay" Rei Ayanami's zero machine stabbed the top cover of the Excalibur Brave with a spear, if this blow went well, it wouldn't be a problem to stab the Excalibur Brave to the end, but would things really go so smoothly? With the IQ of the wind slashing Binghua, this probability is not estimated to be large.
A second before Machine Zero was about to touch Excalibur Brave, a large number of light whips came out again, grabbing Rei Ayanami just like the last time he caught the Zero driven by Marisa, and at the same time, a spatial crack appeared next to the first machine, and the bullet that Shinji Ikari had just fired was sent back.
"Boom !!" After the bullet of the spiral sniper rifle hit the real thing, it kicked off a large amount of smoke and dust, covering the lower part of the Excalibur Brave, as for the first machine, it had already been scrapped at the moment of the attack, and the Excalibur Brave did not continue to care about it, but opened the gun muzzle directly above, preparing to shell the zero machine.
"It's unbelievable, this Fifth Apostle is so terrifyingly strong, two EVAs are not its opponents." The news host in the distance said with palpitations, just now these TV station people relied on the ultra-long-range shooting function of the camera to record the process of the battle between the two EVA and the Excalibur Brave, and they thought that EVA could defeat the Fifth Apostle, but what was unexpected was that the two EVA failed miserably.
Seeing this scene, the hearts of the people who were watching TV suddenly cooled, because when Seele asked the United Nations to publish the information of the apostle, it had already been stated that the purpose of the apostle was to destroy all mankind, and if the eva made by human beings could not stop the apostle, the demise of mankind would only be a matter of time.
"Wu Ming, what should I do now, if I don't do something, Shinji and Rei will both die." It's not just the viewers who are watching the live broadcast of Eva and the Apostle PK who are nervous, Misato Katsuragi is already going crazy, originally she thought she was going to win when she saw Rei Ayanami jumping, but she forgot one thing, Marisa was also defeated by this move last time, and Takeaki seemed to forget this when he made the battle plan.
"Rest assured, you can definitely defeat the Fifth Apostle." Wu Ming calmly took a sip of tea, and the big screen showed the zero machine tied to tortoiseshell by the Excalibur Brave, but Wu Ming seemed unmoved, as if it was not EVA but the Apostle who was in deep trouble.
