"The third apostle is about to break from the seal? Who gave you the information? Lao Ikari looked at Ian in a standard posture from behind his desk.

"Him." Ian pointed back.

"Who is this teenager?"

Kaoru Nagisa's elegant gift. "First meeting, father."

“？？？” ×3

"Huh... Ikaru-kun, you hooked up with Akagi's mother and daughter and said that you were using them, it's just that, seeing that this teenager is about the same age as Xiao Ikaru-kun, did you start to be dishonest when Yui was still there? Dongyue lowered her head and shook her head and sighed. Wei said to take care of it, you didn't take care of it, when Wei was still there, you did things around, but when you died, you did it again, what do you want to do? ”

"No, I've never seen this boy before."

"Ikati-kun, if you take the initiative to admit it, you can only give you a breath, and if you don't admit it, I think you may be beaten to death by Yui." Dongyue tilted her head and thought for a while. "Forget it, anyway, I think you're going to be killed when you tamper with Yui's plan."

"This is also the first time I've seen my father..."Dongyue's eyes were already scummy. However, my father is not my biological father, but my father-in-law, whom I unilaterally identified. ”

"Don't look at me, it's not me, go find that pit daddy thing."

Then Dongyue understood.

"That little Ikaru-kun provoked it? According to what you said earlier, I thought that Ikari-kun would get involved with Rei or the pilot of the second plane. ”

"If he survives, not necessarily..."Ian felt that Shinji of the black was not under any psychological pressure. Then again, I forgot to ask, how did you die last time? ”

“…… When I drove the thirteenth machine, I was blown up by the DSS collar and broke my neck. ”

"Again?"

"Crushed by the first machine."

"Again?"

"It's gone."

"Sure enough, it's three weeks," Ian nodded. If you have time, let's look for a canon of the Dead Sea Papers, I don't know if that guy will be a moth. ”

"I think it's a bunch of moths... Huh? The Tenth Apostle was gone, and he didn't know where he had gone. Nagisa Kaoru also felt quite uncomfortable about his own death history, and either way, both of these deaths were too tragic.

"The Tenth Apostle?" Dongyue raised an eyebrow. "Will it appear at the same time as the Third Apostle?"

"If he can escape... I'll contact Maozi, and you will leave for the Bethany base today. Need to arrange a flight? ”

"No, use my aircraft, I'm afraid that the conventional plane will be shot down by anti-aircraft missiles at sea."

"What about fellow travelers?"

"I'll see if the two in the family want to go, if they don't want to go, just me and him."

"Okay."

"Bethany base? That base off the coast of Maozi's Far East? If you don't go, you can't go, it's still freezing and there's nothing to see at sea. "by Asuka.

Nodding her head, Asuka was right. by Rei Ayanami.

Five minutes later, a YF-35 was no... Now that it has been finalized, it should be that the VF-35 will slowly land in the form of a G-walk at the secret airfield of NERV.

Asuka, who saw her off, watched with fiery eyes as the heavy fighter slowly landed.

"Hey, uncle, is it too late for me to change my mind?" Asuka took a deep breath. "You didn't say you were going to take a fighter jet."

So Ian: They waited another ten minutes, and the second VF-35 landed at the base.

"Leigh is going too?"

"Hmm."

Send the two of them to the locker room to change into anti-load clothes, and then board the plane in turn.

"Asuka, be careful, this is a wild horse."

"Peace of mind, I'm flying an F-22 in Europa."

"Forget it, you'll see for yourself later. SIRLOIN, TAKE THE ARIEL OFF THE ASSEMBLY LINE AND REPLACE IT WITH AN ARIEL 3. By the way, you also stare at the two of them. I'm afraid she's too excited to stand it. ”

"Yes, yes. Change the flight mode first and return to the airplane form. ”

Asuka's VF-35 slowly lifted off into the air under the influence of the anti-gravity module, transformed back into the form of a fighter jet, extended the landing gear, and came to a steady stop on the ground.

"The plane moved on its own?" Asuka is still familiar with the operation interface. Found that the plane deformed on its own?

"This Valkyrie has three forms, and considering your first contact, it is temporarily locked into an airplane form. Also, little girl, do you want to change the color? A gentle female voice rang out from the communicator inside Asuka's helmet.

"Huh? Can you change the color scheme? ”

"Just change the color of the optical camouflage on the surface of the body."

Following the prompt, Asuka changed the color of the body to a color scheme with a red background in gold edges.

"Hey, hey... Don't do anything superfluous Sharon... Let's go. Ian saw that the VF-35 next to him kept changing colors, and eventually changed to a color scheme similar to that of the second machine.

Gradually increasing the thrust, the two VF-35s took off in the usual mode.

"Follow me, ascend to 35,000 meters, and fly at full speed."

"Understood."

Ian pulled up the nose of the plane and increased the thrust to climb vertically. Asuka also followed directly.

"It's not the same climb I thought it would be." It's not that high-speed vertical climbs haven't been tried, but isn't the power of this aircraft a bit excessive?

Asuka glanced at the altimeter, and in less than a hundred seconds, the two planes had already climbed vertically to 35,000 meters, and it was really the first time that a supersonic vertical climb had been...

And it's still this height...

After Asuka was leveled up, and Rei Ayanami were looking at the surrounding scene.

At this height, in fact, it has been detached from the stratosphere, and the sky is no longer blue, but the black of the universe. The curves of the earth are also clearly visible.

"Asuka, the preparation is speeding up."

"Hmm."

Two planes were aimed in the direction of the Bethany base.

"We're leaving." Quickly pushing the throttle valve to the maximum, the wing is retracted forward under the control of the assisted AI, and the wingtips fit the large canard near the nose, reconstructing the aerodynamic shape of the aircraft, changing from a forward-swept wing to a large delta wing.

"Mach 2"

Mach 3

Mach 4

“……”

Mach 21

Looking at the cone-shaped shock wave that gradually formed at the nose of the machine, and listening to the broadcast of the intelligent assistance system, Asuka didn't know what expression to make.

Fighter jets fly out of the first cosmic speed?

You call this a fighter jet?

Oh, he called this thing a Valkyrie just now.

Before Asuka could think about it, Ian's voice came from her ears.

"Asuka, let's start freeflying."

"Huh? Good... So fast?

"The straight-line distance is more than 3,000 kilometers, and the maximum atmospheric cruising speed is just over a minute."

"Three thousand kilometers ... A minute..."Asuka stroked the inner wall of the cockpit.

"Ah, that's right, the former SEELE boy, the fourth qualified, we need to borrow the fifth machine temporarily." After they walked out of the office, Ikari Gendo made a phone call to NERV Maozi Division 7. However, a few seconds later. I heard the alarm on the other side of the phone. "Is something wrong?"

"A suspected ballistic missile attack has been detected, and now the local NTMD in Maozi is giving feedback. The size is so strange... Wave-riding warheads? It's too fast, isn't it? Let the MAGI VII assist NTMD for ballistic calculations! No time! The person on the other end of the phone came back and continued. Approximate time they will arrive. ”

"I'll ask."

"ETA 75 seconds, it's coming soon." At this time, the two airframes had slowed down to Mach 6.

Lao Jie glanced at the call time, 15 minutes and 14 seconds.

"You're at the North Pole in fifteen minutes? How did it pass? ”

"Strictly speaking, 1 minute and 40 seconds." Ian also glanced at the timer, and it had only been so much time since liftoff. "High-altitude hypersonic flight."

"They arrived in 75 seconds, and the alarm could be lifted, and that alarm was a false alarm, and that signal was them."

“…… What are they? The terminal interceptor missile has just been launched, allowing them to evade. ”

"Missile alert? It was discovered? Ian heard a sudden alarm.

"What do you mean to be discovered? Didn't you report? ”

"I thought Lao Jie was done, why is he moving so slowly... Asuka, accelerate, climb. Legend has it that Maozi's NTMD has nuclear warheads, and I don't want to bet on whether there are nuclear warheads in it. "The two VF-35s increased their thrust again and ignited the afterburners. Climb vertically again.

"Hey, what's the ceiling of this plane? High-altitude parking is not a good thing, hey. "Asuka's photoelectric sensor has picked up the terminal interceptor missile flying in the distance.

"Infinite."

"Infinite?"

More than ten seconds later, the two planes rushed out of the atmosphere. The range of avoidance far exceeds the orbit change limit of Maozi's NTMD.

The controllers were preparing for the second round of interceptor missile launches when they received communications from the NERV Bethany base and learned that the two targets could be identified as friendly forces. Only then did he reluctantly self-destruct the two interceptor missiles that had already been fired.

The bill was then sent directly to the NERV Third New Tokyo City Headquarters. Let Ya not inform the route in advance.

Then the report of NERV's suspected possession of hypersonic vehicles was thrown to the Ministry of Defense.

Of course, three minutes later, this report was overturned.

Because Maozi's spies at the Bethany base, he sent photos of two VF-35s landing on the helicopter deck of the command ship of the NERV Bethany base to his superiors.

The information attached to the back of the photo is only three sentences, a single plane breaks through the atmosphere, and flies from the third new Tokyo to Bethany in two minutes, which can be transformed.
