"A huge submersible object has been found near the peninsula, and the Apostle has been determined so far, so this time we will kill the Apostle in one go when he lands! Did you hear that? The first and second planes alternately launched attacks on the target, and the zero machine was responsible for covering! ”

"Understood!"

"Understood."

"Yes."

After ending the call, Asuka let out a long sigh.

"Misato, what's wrong? Did you eat gunpowder? It's so angry........."

"After all, the pressure from above has not been small recently."

Hearing Asuka's complaint, Fang Zheng also smiled, there was a reason why Misato Katsuragi was so anxious. If EVA doesn't produce enough results this time, then the importance of NERV will be further reduced. To put it mildly, if EVA doesn't stop the Apostle this time, but is pulled out by the red ponytail, then there is no need for NERV to exist.

"But you don't need to care about that, just do what you do in your daily fight."

"Is that really okay? Mr. Founder? ”

At this time, Shinji Ikari also raised his own questions with some uneasiness.

"After all........."

"Don't worry, it's an adult's job to take on the pressure, and Katsuragi gets a salary to do this, so you don't need to worry about these trivial things, just focus on the enemy in front of you."

"The target appears!"

Not long after Fang Zheng's words fell, he saw the sea in front of him suddenly bulge, and then a crescent-shaped apostle emerged from the water.

"Shinji! There are also honor students! Let me see what I'm capable of! ”

Seeing the apostle, Asuka naturally couldn't help it, she had long wanted to fight with the apostle to prove her strength. Helplessly, the EVA No. 2 machine fell into the sea before, and Asuka was also a clever woman who could only stare dryly without rice, and now it was finally time to do it herself, Asuka was naturally not to be outdone, and took the lead in controlling the No. 2 machine and rushed over with a spear.

Neither Shinji nor Rei Ayanami said anything about Asuka's request. In fact, in the daily training, they have gradually learned and adapted to cooperate with each other. In the square Hell Spartan training, the three were also taught how to use melee weapons to fight. At present, it shows that Hika's performance is the best, so it is always this match on weekdays, and naturally I am used to it.

So Asuka just rushed forward, and the zero and first machines immediately picked up the weapons at hand and launched an attack on the apostle.

Unlike in the animation, the current three EVAs don't use long-range weapons——— in fact, they don't want to see EVA use long-range weapons, the effect is basically zero, not to mention, it will reduce people's reactions, and the smoke is equivalent to making smoke bombs for the other party.

But the yang electron cannon still has a bit of a role, Fang Zheng also asked Katsuragi Misato why he didn't make the yang electron cannon a conventional weapon, you don't say anything else, set up a permanent yang electron cannon in the third new Tokyo city, the apostle comes, whether it is useful or not, the first bombardment, can kill the best, at least you can see the strength of the apostle, right?

Katsuragi Misato also said a lot about this, what authority, what energy, of course, she said a lot, and Fang Zheng summed it up in two words.

No money.

Of course, according to Fangzheng's statement, it is enough to simply remove all the useless automatic attack facilities in the third new Tokyo City......... Anyway, those things are really useless except for some fireworks and light and shadow effects when the apostles arrive......... Helplessly, he didn't care about this.

Luckily, at least the money to make melee weapons is available.

At the moment, the three EVAs are holding different weapons, the main weapon of the second machine is Guda's halberd, the zero machine is the standard combination of shield and straight sword, and the first machine uses an ordinary long sword.

This is Fangzheng's tactic, instead of going up and sending him to death with a long-range weapon, it is better to directly hold down the opponent and beat him.

If the AT force field of the three EVAs and the can't kill you again, then it can only show that this apostle is really a bull breaker.

At the moment, Machine Zero rushed to the front, directly slapping the shield in his hand on the apostle's face, blocking its way. Of course, the apostle didn't let you brush the stake that output data, but it also waved its claws and hit the zero machine. But at the same time, the first machine had already come to the side, and the long sword in his hand suddenly swung out, blocking the apostle's attack.

"Look at the !!"

Asuka also immediately grabbed the entire gap, manipulated the second machine to jump high, and the halberd in her hand swung down suddenly, directly splitting the apostle in front of her in the middle in two!

"Well done, Asuka!"

Seeing this scene, Misato Katsuragi also clenched her fists excitedly and screamed, and Asuka snorted softly.

"Well, see, this is my strength........."

However, before Asuka finished speaking, she was interrupted by Shinji Ikari in an instant.

"Asuka, it's still moving!"

"What?"

Hearing Shinji Ikari's words, Asuka was also taken aback, she turned her head to look, and was surprised to find that the apostle who had been split in half by herself was not dead, but began to squirm around the wound, and then ——— turned into two!

"What's going on?"

Seeing this, everyone was stunned, one apostle is difficult enough to deal with, and another one?

"This, what to do?"

"Attack its core!"

Fortunately, the three of them were also trained by Fang Zheng, and although the current situation was a bit unexpected, they still reacted immediately and attacked the apostle again.

Soon, however, the crowd realized that something was wrong.

"It's useless to attack the core!"

"It will heal itself!!"

This apostle itself is not particularly powerful, but it is quite resistant, Asuka, Shinji Ikari and Ayanami Rei used all their strength, and they all hit the core of the apostle several times, but what surprised them was that this apostle's self-healing ability was quite terrifying, even if he was stabbed in the core, he would not die, but would recover in the blink of an eye!

It's the same in other places, Shinji Ikari and Asuka cut off the apostle's limbs more than once, but they are back to normal in a blink of an eye......... It's not going to be able to fight at all!

“…………… Fall back! ”

Looking at the chaotic situation in front of her, Misato Katsuragi hesitated for a moment, and then gave the order. To be honest, she didn't want to retreat here, after all, this time she was directly on three EVAs, and she couldn't even stop an apostle, which would be considered a complete end for NERV's face and lining.

However............

"No need to evacuate, try again."

At this time, Fang Zheng suddenly stood up and opened contact.

"Third Lieutenant Fangzheng?"

"Listen to me, there's nothing wrong with trying."

Fang Zheng gestured to Misato Katsuragi, and then started the communication.

"Listen, these two apostles may have some sense of each other, and you should attack their core at the same time! Shinji, you're in charge of the main attack, Rei is in charge of containment, and Asuka, it's up to you to give them the final blow! The best thing to do is to pull the two of them together in a row and penetrate them straight through like a skewer roast! ”

"Understood."

"Understood."

Hearing Fangzheng's order, Shinji Ikari and Rei Ayanami immediately gave an answer, but Asuka did not speak.

"Don't worry, I trust you."

However, Fang Zheng didn't say anything more, just said one more sentence, and then closed the communication.

“…………… The battle continues. ”

Although Fangzheng's behavior was technically overstepping, Misato Katsuragi didn't say much. In fact, she really doesn't have any good ideas now, and the idea proposed by Fang Zheng is at least ......... It's also an idea.

It's much better than three EVAs going out and going home without any results.

After receiving Fangzheng's orders, the battle began again.

Of course, Fang Zheng knows this apostle very well, after all, the 62-second war, one of the several classic scenes of EVA, came from this, and that part is also really classic, but ......... Founder's don't want to reappear.

It's too much trouble after all.

With Fangzheng's guidance, the cooperation of the three people also had a goal, and it didn't take long to see Shinji Ikari pierce one of the apostle clones with a sword, and Ayanami Rei suppressed the other, so that the two doppelgangers stuck together back to back, and then Asuka went up and shot through the cores of the two apostles, accompanied by a whistling explosion and a pillar of light......... The battle has finally come to an end.

Night falls.

On a dark night, the entire city of Third New Tokyo was silent, and Fang was sitting on a chair on the balcony, drinking tea while looking at the night scene outside.

SEELE DIDN'T MAKE ANY MOVES, AND NEITHER DID FANGZHENG, HE JUST HAD TO WAIT FOR THE COMPLETE ELIMINATION OF THE APOSTLE ......... However, for Fangzheng, compared to the apostles, the war with humans is the most troublesome.

"Click."

At this moment, Fang Zheng felt the balcony door behind him open, and then a figure walked in.

"Yo, Asuka, why don't you go to bed so late?"

Fang Zheng turned his head, glanced at the girl behind him, and asked. Asuka shook her head silently, and then sat down on the chair next to her.

"I want to come out and blow the wind."

"yes, but watch out for colds."

"It's fine."

As she spoke, Asuka sat down on a chair while Fang Zheng put down the teacup in her hand and poured Asuka a cup of tea.

"You're doing a great job today."

"Really?"

"Of course, after all, no one thought that the apostles would have that kind of ability, and the previous apostles didn't show that kind of ability, did they? Not to mention, in the end you still destroyed the apostles, and that was enough. ”

Looking at the girl beside him, Fang Zheng said with a smile, but Asuka was still silent.

As for Asuka's thoughts, Fang Zheng has some understanding.

Of the several EVA drivers, Asuka looks the strongest on the surface, but in fact she is the most vulnerable.

For Rei Ayana, driving an EVA is part of her job, and she hasn't found a meaning other than "work", which is normal——— as if the social animals always feel that the sky is falling without a job. But once she has no job, then Ayanami Rei is actually living like this. Maybe there is no interest in life and no romance, but don't you still have to live your life?

And Shinji Ikari is introverted and autistic, but at least there is one thing——— he really doesn't care much about driving EVA, and there are several times in the anime, and Shinji Ikari is really determined to pick a son and quit. Big deal I'm going back to live my autistic life, you love to die and do my? Isn't it good for me to stay at home every day and watch paper people's wives?

But Asuka is different, for her, she only has value in driving an EVA.

Because of this, Asuka's requirements for herself are actually at a rather perverted height.

Take the battle against the apostles during the day today, when Fang Zheng gave the order, Rei Ayanami and Shinji Ikari both replied, Asuka didn't answer, and Fang Zheng immediately knew what the problem was.

On the surface, Asuka doesn't seem to care about this, but Fang Zheng knows that Asuka is worried that she has messed up deep down. After all, she was the one who split the apostle in half, so it split in two and became two. If something goes wrong because of this, if the battle fails, if everyone else feels that it is their fault.........

Asuka didn't say it, but Fang Zheng could see it. People can lie, but his reaction will not, Asuka's second machine is tied up in battle after the apostle is split into two and resurrected, and in the eyes of Misato Katsuragi and Ritsuko Akagi and others, they may only think that Asuka is cautious, but Fang Zheng's hand rubbing the salary king can see Asuka's emotions and thoughts at a glance.

For Asuka, driving an EVA is her survival value, and once something happens, it's not as simple as the sky falling apart, it's that she has no meaning at all.

Because of this, Asuka is always nitpicking on other drivers, and in the anime she has always been unpleasant to Rei Ayana, which is actually normal. Asuka was officially selected to become a driver, and Rei Ayanami in the anime has no record at all, Shinji Ikari has killed a few apostles in the anime, and Rei Ayanami is really a soy saucemaker.

That's why Asuka will use ridicule to call Shinji Ikari and Rei Ayanami as honor students who go through the back door. Her honor student was actually completely sarcastic about what Ayanami Rei was doing, and she couldn't defeat the apostle, and she got the position of the driver completely by being obedient.

This is simply a blasphemy for Asuka who regards driving EVA as the value of her life, and she has worked hard and spent almost everything to obtain, and for some people, you can just pretend to be well-behaved and obedient——— and you can't stand this kind of thing on anyone.

Of course, the current Asuka is not as brutal as in the anime, this is not because her temper has improved, but because under the training and teaching of Fangzheng, Rei Ayanami and Shinji Ikari have achieved good results——— Rei Ayanami killed Xiao Shuishui, Shinji Ikari killed Mosaic, and the two of them also worked together to eliminate the Thunder Angel.

With this kind of record in the past, Asuka certainly won't mock the two of them like in the anime for only eating and not working, so the three of them get along happily.

But there are some core issues involved.........

“…………… Founder. ”

"Huh?"

Asuka has never been very polite when she calls people, and rarely adds a name, but Fang Zheng doesn't care.

"What's wrong?"

“……… Do you know my past? ”

"It's not very clear, and I don't really care."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng reached out and touched Asuka's head.

"Whatever the past, at least you're here now, aren't you?"

“…………………”

Asuka silently slapped Fangzheng's hand away.

"I can almost guess what you think, in fact, if that's the case, I've said to Rei and Shinji before, and it's not too late to say it to you again——— although you can only drive EVA now, but in the future, you have your own future."

“…………… Will there really be such a future? ”

"Of course, one day the apostles will be completely eliminated, and after that, what are you going to do?"

"I ..............."

Faced with Fangzheng's inquiry, Asuka was silent for a long time.

"I didn't think about ........."

"Marry? What do you think of Shinji? ”

"I'm not interested, I'm not interested in that idiot."

"So do research? I've heard you've graduated from college now. ”

"If I wanted to do that, I wouldn't be driving an EVA."

"Uh-huh..............."

Hearing this, Fang Zheng thought for a moment.

"So do you want to pilot a robot to fight aliens?"

"Huh? Are you also a fool? ”

Faced with Fangzheng's proposal, Asuka was dumbfounded.

"Where did the aliens come from?"

"If there is no other world, it doesn't mean that there are no other worlds, maybe there are aliens in other worlds......... How, is there any interest? ”

“…………… No, I just want to drive the EVA. ”

Asuka thought for a moment about Fangzheng's proposal, and finally shook her head.

"yes, that's a bit of a problem, but......... Take your time. ”

"yes........."

Hearing this, Asuka didn't say anything more. She just closed her eyes and leaned on Fangzheng's shoulder.

Soon, with the sound of a slight breathing, the girl fell into a deep dream.
