Chapter Seventy-One: Searching
But fortunately, Lin Yiyan didn't really plan to wipe out all the apostles for SEELE and for the humans of this world, so the materials were gone, and when the matter came, he just ran away with a few machines. Anyway, there is not only Japan on the earth of this world, and even if there is no 'forest butcher', SEELE does not have to eat hairy pigs.
Then, with a bang, the Seventh Apostle Music Angel (Funeral Song Angel) appeared in front of the two EVAs like a flying squirrel with its membrane unfolded but no tail.
"Attack, begin!" Misato Katsuragi shouted.
"Hmph." Asuka snorted and didn't communicate with Makipo, immediately activating her body and rushing towards the Seventh Apostle.
"Oh, I won't really rob it, don't be so anxious." Makibo, who was piloting the No. 5 machine, which had changed dramatically, said with a smile. Immediately, he also raised the spear on the front of his right arm and launched an attack on the Seventh Apostle in the sea.
The warhead containing high-energy explosives flew ...... the Seventh Apostle's body and created hemispherical flames on the surface of his body. The Seventh Apostle did not move, relying on the AT force field to resist the attack of the fifth machine.
At the same time, the second machine slammed on the ground, jumped up from the sea water, and leaped in front of the Seventh Apostle, raising the vibrating spear in his hand high, like a big sword, slashing Huashan with a single force, and slashing heavily at the body of the Seventh Apostle under the sunlight.
"Phew!" Suddenly, a muffled sound sounded, and the Seventh Apostle was cut in half like a pig, revealing the purple-red flesh inside.
"Well done, Asuka!" Misato Katsuragi praised loudly.
"It's not a great enemy." Asuka said proudly.
"Well done, princess." Shin Hipo also praised, but in terms of the tone of his voice, how he listened to it had a feeling of mockery, which made Asuka feel extremely unhappy.
"Hmph." Asuka snorted coldly again and drove the second machine back to the shore. But before it could take two steps, the body of the Seventh Apostle, which had been split in half, suddenly twisted, turning into two new apostles, one blue and one red, with the same shape as the original, and each with a core.
"What!" Misato Katsuragi exclaimed.
"Wouldn't it!? How is this possible!? Asuka exclaimed in disbelief.
"You two be careful, you're here!" Misato Katsuragi reminded. In an instant, I saw that the two apostles were short, and suddenly disappeared into the seawater, with a stream of white spray cut out, rushing towards the second and fifth planes respectively.
"Damn!" With a flash under his feet, the second machine swung its vibrating spear and slashed at one of the apostles, slicing it apart with a "exposed" sound. Machine Five's hand flashed with fire, shooting the body of the Apostle who had just jumped out of the sea into craters of various sizes.
But it was not useless, almost the next moment when they completed the attack, the two apostles recovered one after another, and continued to attack the second and fifth planes, so it didn't take long for them to be grabbed by the strange three-fingered hands of the two apostles, and they were fiercely thrown into the sky, and collided with the second (five) machine thrown by the other apostle.
"Bang!" Immediately, the two planes shook violently and fell heavily into the remaining buildings on the sea.
………
Soon after, due to the depletion of the power supply vehicle and the backup power, the two planes, which had not mastered the true trick of eliminating the apostles, fell silent under the attack of the infinitely resurrected apostles, and were forced to transfer the right to fight to the Second Front of the League of Nations, which reluctantly suspended the activities of the two apostles by using intensive artillery fire and N2 bombs.
Subsequently, NERV recovered the No. 2 and No. 5 units and returned to the NERV headquarters as a whole, and discussed new countermeasures.
At this time, it is located in the NERV headquarters base in the underground space. Misato Katsuragi looked at the mountains of complaint documents in front of her and was speechless.
"These are all protest letters and victim reports from relevant units." Ritsuko Akagi on the side smiled with a happy look. Then he raised his arm again, showed the two envelopes and continued, "Also, this is a bill of payment from the United Nations, and a letter of complaint from the Propaganda Department, you can read it slowly." ”
Misato Katsuragi took the envelope casually, but she didn't even look at it, and threw the envelope out again as if she were throwing garbage.
"You don't have to look at it to know what's in it, it's all about 'if you want to fight, go somewhere else', right?" Misato Katsuragi sighed helplessly.
"You're smart." Ritsuko Akagi praised.
"No need for them. If I had brought down the apostle in that way, I would have brought him down here long ago. Misato Katsuragi said, walked to the desk full of complaints and sat down, put her fingers together on her face like Ikari Gendo, and said with a cold gaze, "I will definitely defeat the apostle!" ”
"By the way, how long will it take for the EVA to be repaired?" After a pause, Misato Katsuragi changed her face slightly and asked.
"It will take about five days to completely fix it." Ritsuko Akagi looked at the EVA battle damage in her hand and reported.
"What about the apostles?" Misato Katsuragi asked again.
"Now in self-healing. According to MAGI's calculations, the second wave of action was also five days later. Ritsuko Akagi said.
"So, it will take five days for both sides to act?" Misato Katsuragi leaned back in her chair, clasped her hands on the back of her head, and whispered to herself as she looked up at the ceiling.
"Fortunately, the person on top now is Lin Yiyan, not Commander Ikati. Otherwise, today's circumstances alone would have been enough for me to be fired. ”
"Do you think of him at this time?" Ritsuko Akagi laughed.
"Well...... Who made that guy so mysterious, and can use the AT force field like an apostle, I didn't shoot him in the head enough to give him face. Misato Katsuragi pouted. That's true, with Misato Katsuragi's hatred of the apostles, she did it completely. As for the reason, it starts from a long time ago, well, fifteen years ago.
Fifteen years ago, when Misato Katsuragi was a child, she went on an expedition to the South Pole with her father – of course. This is a superficial statement, but secretly it is to conduct human contact experiments. Misato Katsuragi's father, Dr. Katsuragi, was one of the top scientists at the time, and was also invited by SEELE to participate in the experiment as a relevant person, and even brought Misato Katsuragi, who was left unattended for the time being.
But the human contact experiment is a secret plan, and it is impossible to allow him to appear in the base just because he is the daughter of the person involved in the experiment, so Misato Katsuragi was unexpectedly stranded in the camouflage base on the surface, and played in the Antarctic under the care of a staff member arranged by the base, but it was precisely because of this that she was lucky to become a survivor of the second impact. Survived the 'purification' produced by the second impact.
However, at the price, she witnessed the birth of the Giant of Light and the Sea of Blood, and the following three years of autasia and autism, until she met the blessed Ryoji with her father's shadow on her body. I gradually recovered. Misato Katsuragi then began to investigate the truth, and for this purpose she entered the army, joined the League of Nations, and was promoted to the secret agency NERV......
It can be said that it was only at this time that she really knew the truth of the second impact. And all the apostles were regarded as their father-killing enemies, and they hated it to this day.
"But then again, have you found a way to deal with the apostles?" Then. Ritsuko Akagi, who turned her head to look to the side, asked.
"I thought you wouldn't ask." Ritsuko Akagi smiled. With a flick of his wrist, he handed a small disk to Misato Katsuragi.
"It's really wow." Misato Katsuragi said with surprise and joy.
Ritsuko Akagi smiled and didn't say anything.
"Don't bother you, I'll go study the battle plan." Misato Katsuragi quickly got up from her chair and said as she walked outside.
"Huh!"
"Bang!"
But before she could take a few steps, the closed office door suddenly opened, and then a panicked Maya Ibuki rushed into the office and collided with Misato Katsuragi.
"Maya? Something happened, so panicked. Misato Katsuragi asked with a frown as she hugged the relatively delicate Maya Ibuki.
"War, Zhanzi ......" Ibuki Maya took a few breaths and said in a loud voice, "Zhanzi's people are here and say that they want to take over our NERV!" ”
"What!?" Misato Katraghiro's expression changed and she said loudly.
At the same time, Ritsuko Akagi also frowned, and her face became gloomy.
"What's going on?" Misato Katsuragi asked urgently.
"I don't know, but it seems to be a direct order from the Ministry of National Defense to let Zhanzi take over the NERV headquarters." Maya Ibuki hurriedly replied.
"Bastard! We, NERV, are a special organization directly under the League of Nations, and we are not affiliated with the Ministry of National Defense at all, so why should they order War to take over us!? Do they want to rebel!? Misato Katsuragi said angrily.
"No! I'm going to stop them! With that, Misato Katsuragi let go of Maya Ibuki and walked out of the room quickly.
"Misato!" Ritsuko Akagi shouted. It's just that after all, he was a step too late, and he could only watch Misato Katsuragi disappear behind the re-closed door.
"Senior, what should I do?" Maya Ibuki asked in a panic as he looked at Ritsuko Akagi, whom he admired, admired, and even had thoughts of inconvenience.
"Don't panic, just do our own thing." Ritsuko Akagi said in a deep voice.
"Is that okay?" Maya Ibuki asked.
"Yes." Ritsuko Akagi nodded in confirmation, and then suddenly clicked on the void with her hand, and controlled it in her special vision provided by the neural connection device, while sending Lin Yiyan the situation on the NERV headquarters, and at the same time contacting the MAGI host through Jarvis, and giving various lock-up orders. lest the guys who 'fight themselves' be shameless and take EVA away.
"Senpai, what are you doing?" Ibuki Maya, who couldn't understand Ritsuko's behavior at all, wondered.
"Nothing." Ritsuko Akagi said as she got up from her chair and walked out of the office. Seeing this, Maya Ibuki did not hesitate and immediately followed.
………
"Miki Shaosa, what do you mean by that!?" Misato Katsuragi asked loudly as she glared at the flat-headed middle-aged man in front of her, protected by two soldiers in the uniforms of Japan's Strategic Self-Defense Forces.
"We at NERV are affiliated with the United Nations! You fighters have no right to invade here! ”
"No power, no power, no power, I don't know, I just know that the order given to me by the Ministry of Defense is to occupy this place, if you don't want to make indifferent sacrifices, let your people put away their weapons immediately, otherwise there will be something like a misfire." Don't blame me for not warning you beforehand. The officer named Miki said coldly.
"Ministry of Defense? Joke, we NERV are a parallel organization at the same level as the Ministry of National Defense, what right does the Ministry of Defense have to order you to occupy this place!? Misato Katsuragi sneered.
"That's the matter between you and the Ministry of Defense, and it has nothing to do with me! I repeat it again, tell your men to lay down their arms and accept our self-management at once, or we will not be blamed for ignoring our earlier feelings. Miki said unceremoniously.
"You!" Misato Katsuragi glared at Miki, but couldn't speak.
"Hinata!" Then, Misato Katsuragi said loudly.
"Yes!" Hinata on the side immediately responded loudly.
"Tell me to go down. Let our men give up their resistance. Misato Katsuragi said hatefully.
"Miss Misato?" Hinata was surprised.
"Do as I say!" Misato Katsuragi said through gritted teeth.
"Yes." Hinata agreed, returned to the operating table, and then under Miki's gaze, he automatically stepped forward. The soldiers who held his gun to his head were under the watchful eye of the soldiers who gave the entire base an order to abandon resistance.
"Thank you for your cooperation, Captain Ge Cheng." Miki's expression softened a little and nodded.
"Hmph." Misato Katsuragi snorted coldly. He turned and walked to the side, clasped his hands on his chest, and stood down against the wall.
"Lin Yiyan. Where the hell are you now, you bastard!? If you don't come back, don't blame us for our inaction. Misato Katsuragi said with hatred in her heart. It's just that Misato Katsuragi didn't notice that at this time, instead of thinking about taking the opportunity to break away from Lin Yiyan's control, she hoped that Lin Yiyan could come back and regain control of NERV, which was completely different from the wary and distrustful psychology she had with Lin Yiyan at the beginning.
After a few more moments, Ritsuko Akagi, Maya Ibuki, and Rei Ayana, Asuka, and Makiha, who were drivers, were also gathered in the combat command room, and were guarded by the soldiers next to them.
"It's a tragedy, it looks like we're going to be wiped out." Zhen Xibo whispered helplessly.
"You're okay over there, right?" Misato Katsuragi ignored Makiha's words and turned to Ritsuko Akagi, who had her hands in her pockets beside her, and asked.
"The question is whether it is or not, I just don't know how long I can hold on, and I hope I can catch up." Ritsuko Akagi said softly.
"What are you talking about?" Asuka wondered, "And who are these guys, and why are they attacking NERV?" ”
"They are from the Japanese Strategic Self-Defense Forces, and as for the reason for attacking us, the devil knows." Misato Katsuragi sneered.
"Isn't NERV an institution directly under the League of Nations? Why not appeal to the League of Nations? Asuka asked with a frown.
Misato Katsuragi and Ritsuko Akagi looked at each other, then sighed helplessly and did not answer. Can she say that we are really just hanging the skin of NERV and doing the work of NERV, but are essentially the fact that we are already another organization?
………
In the bright red Antarctic Ocean, the magic warship sailed quietly on the water. However, at this moment, Jarvis's voice suddenly sounded in Lin Yiyan's ears.
"Sir, have your contact." Lin Yiyan slowly opened his eyes and said in a low voice, "Take it in." ”
The next moment, I heard a soft sound of "drop", and a short message jumped into Lin Yiyan's eyes.
"Japan's Strategic Self-Defense Force attacked the NERV headquarters and returned as soon as it received the news." Lin Yiyan, who took the information presented on the short message into his eyes, frowned, and his face became gloomy.
"Fighting yourself...... OR SAY, SAYELE. Either way, it looks like the Longinus gun will have to be found and salvaged today. Thinking about it, Lin Yiyan didn't hesitate, raised his left hand and said to Drager, "Drager!" Open the Soul Stone and help me! ”
"Okay, buddy!" The red light of Lin Yiyan's left hand flickered a few times, and Drager's voice sounded. As Drager's words fell, a huge spiritual force rushed straight into Lin Yiyan's mind, making the spiritual relics in Lin Yiyan's eyebrows spin as if overclocked. Seeing this, Lin Yiyan once again ordered Jarvis, "Take advantage of now, Jarvis!" Turn on the maximum power to turn on the brainwave enhancement field. ”
"Yes, sir." The next moment, an invisible wave unfolded around Lin Yiyan's body, stirring Lin Yiyan's spiritual power to explode rapidly, and quickly expanded outward at the most exaggerated speed.
One meter ...... Five-meter ...... Fifty meters...... 500 meters...... Two kilometers ......
Almost instantly, it broke through the upper limit of coverage that had been maintained for the last two or three days, and like a balloon that was constantly inflated, it shrouded itself towards a wider area, and did not stop again until it covered a radius of 60 or 70 kilometers.
A large amount of sensory information immediately poured into Lin Yiyan's mind like a tidal wave. Lin Yiyan, who felt that his head was suddenly "buzzing", frowned, and his face showed a little embarrassment. But fortunately, it didn't last long, and it didn't take less than a minute to recover. Close your eyes gently and start quickly processing the information in your mind.
Water...... Icicle...... Building wreckage...... Sundry......
It's a pity that there is no trace of the Longinus gun that Lin Yiyan is looking for.
"Jarvis, continue the voyage according to the established route." Lin Yiyan was not discouraged - after all, he had seen this kind of thing a lot in the past two or three days, and he would not be disappointed for a long time, so after processing the information from this place, he gave the order again as before.
