"Solid backing... You can't dominate the crowd, and you can't be strong enough... It's so troublesome..."Ian held his face, thinking about how to get Asuka a knight out.

In the end, I found that it was very troublesome to match with EVA, and at a height of more than 100 meters, even if the Gundam system took out the mental power Gundam, it would only reach the thigh of the EVA series.

In the case of warships, if they are equipped with weapons that can pose a threat to the apostles, the size of the air-space warships is more than 200 meters, and if the weapons are reasonably disposed, they are at least 300 meters.

In the end, it was decided to break the jar and break it, and mass produce twelve No. 2 machines. At least the equipment can be used universally.

While Ian was thinking wildly, the Osprey landed at NERV's airport, and Ian, who was brainstorming how to design the equipment for the production version of the second machine, just subconsciously followed Ritsuko's footsteps.

When he swiped his card and walked to the extra-long elevator outside the headquarters, Ian reacted.

"Huh? How am I here? Ian looked around blankly. I remember wanting to go home. ”

"It's all here, then I'll take you to meet those three women who have forgotten to sleep and eat."

"Okay." In line with the mentality that going home is also reading the information here, Ian feels that it is nothing to take a look.

Then, suddenly, all the lights throughout the base dimmed. The elevator also stopped suddenly.

Ritsuko didn't stand firm, and under the action of inertia, she fell forward, and was about to roll down, but Ian held down her shoulder, and then she stood firm.

"It's weird... There was a power outage at the headquarters. Ritsuko rubbed Ian's shoulder, which was hurting. But it's okay, theoretically the backup power will start in 30 seconds. Ritsuko took out her phone, lit a flashlight and shone on the steps of the elevator, and walked down step by step.

"Obviously, there was no start." After finishing more than 200 stairs, it was obvious that more than 3 minutes had passed.

"The situation is a little wrong, the main and auxiliary backup three power systems are actually failing at the same time? I'm afraid it's artificial," Ritsuko turned on her phone to contact the people in the base. "The communication signal was also cut off... Why is there still a signal on your phone? ”

"Well, this just looks like a mobile phone, but it's actually a technology that's been around for more than a hundred years."

"Someone's coming." Kaoru Nagisa suddenly spoke.

"Huh!!" ×2

"Why are you here?"

"I didn't leave you, okay, I just didn't speak." Kaoru Nagisa was a little helpless.

"Senior..."

"It's okay, Ibuki."

"I heard footsteps, more than fifty people, the footsteps were heavy, and it seemed that they were heavily armed."

"Someone from the security department?"

"Definitely not, the security department only has pistols and Uzi submachine guns until now, and they don't have tactical vests, so there will be no such clanging equipment clashing sound."

The sound of stray footsteps approached, and on the opposite side were heavily armed unidentified persons.

"The third qualified, the fourth qualified found out, along with Dr. Akagi and Second Lieutenant Ibuki."

"Dr. Akagi stays, and the rest is disposed of."

"Understood."

"Click..."

"Don't blame me, kid."

"Bang bang..."

"Ding......

The orange stance disappeared from time to time, and the bullets flew away.

At the same time, energy pipelines have been upgraded so that energy is no longer dependent on the site's public power grid.

"There was an AT stance reaction inside the base! Spectral analysis, blue! It's the apostles! Now the apostle is on the first floor, the third passage... Huh? Green logo? Friendly? The First Apostle? Hinata made a loud announcement as she proceeded to the next step.

He was then stunned by the fact that the First Apostle had been registered as a friend.

Friendly? Apostle?

I always work at NERV with the consciousness of living and dying with the base, and now you tell me that the First Apostle is an ally of NERV?

"Hinata-kun, don't be too surprised." Fuyutsuki saw Hinata's distorted expression and kindly explained. "At the right time, we'll get everything out of the way."

"Are we just acting with the apostles now?" Shigeru Aoba looked back and asked.

"Of course not." Fuyutsuki replied. "The third to eighteenth apostles are all trying to kill us, we are just protecting ourselves."

"And what about the first and second apostles?"

"The First Apostle has not yet gone mad and has a chance to cooperate. The second apostle is Lilith, the mother of mankind. Just below the final dogma, guarded by us NERV. ”

"We're below... Is it the Second Apostle? Hinata looked down at her feet.

According to the theory, humanity itself is a sub-entity of the split Second Apostle. It's okay to call it an apostle, so don't dwell too much on that. ”

"......" found that Hinata and Aoba were even more confused, and Dongyue sighed helplessly.

"Don't worry about it, you just need to remember that the apostle and Lilith came into contact, and the third shock will erupt, and all the humans will be doomed, as for their identity, you don't have to worry about it at all. It's all about the background. ”

~Dividing line~

"What happened?"

"Fire! Fire! ”

"Bazooka, bring the bazooka!"

Ian pulled out a small blaster from his lower back, took an AT position, and fired at the armed men of unknown origin. In the back, Kaoru Nagisa put one hand in his pocket and stood against the AT to prevent the two ordinary people in the back from being accidentally injured by stray bullets.

"Boom!" Rockets exploded on the stands.

"Ahem......" Ian shook his head. Aren't you all light and heavy? Bazooka in this space?! ”

The explosion didn't hurt me at all, but the sound of the explosion was too loud... Especially this is still in the interior space.

It directly gave Ian a ringing in his ears.

"It worked! Effective! Throw all the stun bombs! Grenades are thrown out too! ”

“… Depend on! ”⊙?? ⊙！

Ian raised his gun and fired.

After a while, Ian, who had killed all the unknown militants, walked up to Kaoru Nagisa's position with a roar. Bang bang bang door... Smash the stand.

"Hey! Open the door. And Kaoru Nagisa, who turned around with Ritsuko, comforted Ibuki, who was frightened by the battle battlefield.

"Hey! Can't you hear it? "Ian is still smashing positions.

"What... Why can't you hear it...", changing the waveform of his stance and beginning to erode Kaoru Nagisa's stance.

Kaoru Nagisa felt it, turned around, and saw Ian, who was preparing to forcibly tear apart his position, and tilted his head with a smile. Then the position was withdrawn.

"Why can't you pretend you can't hear it?" Ian also retracted his position.

"I felt that the loud roar might affect them, so I set my stance to full reflex mode. Not even a voice can come in. ”

“…… Where did you come from...? "I took a piece of nanobot out of my pocket and threw it on the ground.

After a few seconds, the nanobots reproduced themselves partly, and some of them changed into small armed drones that began to look for enemies in the base, some of them, self-reproducing on the spot, expanding the number of drones, and finally spreading through walls, etc., and began to search for and repair the damaged power system.

A group of four people continued to walk towards the technical department.

"Bang bang bang..."

"Da Da Da..."

"Boom!"

"Gunshots?"

With a gun in one hand and a lightsaber in the other, Ian took the lead in moving forward.
