"It's time, let's go."

Chu Xuan silently stared at Rei Ayanami and the black cat with their faces against their faces for a while, then stood up from the ground and reminded them in a voice that was as steady and unrestrained as ever.

"Ah...... Be! ”

Shinji Ikari, who had some indescribable subtle emotion in his heart, hurriedly followed Chu Xuan and stood up, but his gaze still involuntarily stayed on the two beautiful girls who were as intimate as sisters.

And this time, Rei Ayaba, who had been strictly following the order, did not respond to Chu Xuan immediately, she still let the black cat hold her, and rubbed her face with her warm and smooth soft cheeks, as if she couldn't bear to push the black cat away.

The stars in the night sky also lent her their own light, making her dull red eyes, which seemed to be made of inferior plastic, also coated with a layer of ruby-like light, and shimmered beautifully in the darkness.

"No matter what the situation is, you have to remember my words and ......

Believe in Chu Xuan. ”

The black cat whispered another word in Rei Ayaba's ear, and then let go of the blue-haired girl who was still expressionless, and nodded to her and Chu Xuan and Shinji Ikari without worry.

"I wish you all a long time in martial arts."

"Yes."

Ayanami Li agreed lightly, then raised her head and looked at Chu Xuan, who was reflected in her glasses, for a few seconds, stood up without any delay, and stood next to him in silence as usual.

Although she still doesn't understand the deep meaning of the black cat's words, she doesn't resist following the black cat's words, because she has received this kind of education in the first place.

And in subjective will. She is also more willing to accept the kindness of the black cat than to obey other people's orders.

By the time they all put on their shoes. After helping the black cat carrying the picnic basket to put away the thick plastic sheeting spread on the ground, he walked towards the three huge robots that were arranged in the open air not far away. Along the way, no one spoke again.

However, just before the few of them were about to separate and get on their respective bodies, Chu Xuan suddenly stopped Shinji Ikari with his mouth.

"Shinji."

"Yes, what's the matter?"

Shinji Ikari, who was in a rather delicate state in his heart, stopped and turned his head to look at Chu Xuan blankly, the expressionless man raised his hand and pushed down his reflective glasses, and said to him very seriously:

"Shinji, what you fear is neither the death of the individual nor the extinction of humanity, but 'failure' - what you fear is 'failure' itself.

This is because you are not confident enough in your abilities. You don't think you can afford to fail, and you don't want to disappoint people who expect something from you......

But what I'm going to tell you is that a real man is not necessarily a man who has succeeded in some way, but must be a man who can withstand failure.

'Failure is the mother of success'...... Although this phrase is often used for self-soothing and self-forgiveness, it is true that human beings can learn useful lessons from failure - but only if you are able to face it up to it, rather than making excuses for your own failures in order to avoid being judged 'incompetent'.

Some things can't be stopped because there is a high chance of failure, and the outcome of failure has been accepted in advance. To do it perfunctorily is to do it, to do it with a dead will is to do it, still hope that a miracle will happen, and to do it with luck or ...... But the spirit behind this is very different.

And I don't throw in the towel. I don't expect a miracle, I just follow my own judgment and choose what I think is the right path to follow. Even if eventual defeat is still inevitable, there is nothing to fear.

The first hit rate of your ultra-long-range sniper is 0 percent no matter how you calculate it - the actual trajectory of the weapon assembled for the first time is exactly the same as the theoretical trajectory, and that's a miracle, and we actually think about the second hit from the beginning. So in order to succeed, we have to live with the first failure. ”

"But, but that's the case...... You and Ayanami ......"

Shinji Ikari said worriedly. However, Chu Xuan immediately and firmly interrupted him.

"Although there is a lot of risk, there is a possibility of success, and this is already the combat scenario with the best chance of success under the current conditions.

Someone had to do it, and I just chose the one with the best chance of success - including you as a sniper. ”

After Chu Xuan finished speaking, he immediately turned around and walked towards his "Horned Triple Speed", without giving Ikinji Shinji a chance to speak, when he stepped on the electric halyard of Zagu 2 and slowly ascended to the cockpit, Ikari Shinji was still standing in place, bowing his head and thinking about something.

With his amazing hearing like a tailwind, Chu Xuan could faintly hear that at this moment Shinji Ikari was repeatedly muttering to himself, "Can't escape, can't escape, can't escape", it seems that the conclusion that the first shot will inevitably fail didn't really intimidate the seemingly timid and cowardly teenager - because people who really want to run away will never say "can't escape" to themselves.

“…… It's 0:00 a.m., the 'Yashima Operation' begins, and the Yang Electron Cannon sniper is ready! ”

When a new day came, the sniper battle plan of the Sixth Apostle named by Misato Katsuragi proposed by Chu Xuan finally began.

It was good news that the Sixth Apostle was able to complete all the arrangements before the 22 layers of armor plates above the NERV were fully drilled, but it was also the only good news, as negotiations with various organizations with better armor or energy supply systems failed, and the NERV was left to rely on its own technical department to get by.

The mountain-sized energy supply system and the makeshift shield of the Space Shuttle chassis made the Yashima operation much less likely, and perhaps that was what those groups wanted to see.

However, the Nerv organization and the Seele behind it have always been secretive, and there is a serious lack of communication with other organizations, so there is no reason to blame others for not helping them at critical moments - no one will be willing to deal with this kind of guy who uses people in front and not people in the back, right?

"Shinji, just do it like you did in training."

"Yes!"

In order not to add unnecessary pressure to Shinji Ikari, Misato Katsuragi still admonished him "with both ease and seriousness" as usual, and then turned off the communication line with Hatsuki, and began to give orders to the technical and logistics department in charge of energy supply.

"Start your first connection!"

"Roger!

Each department carries out the first and second substation system switchover. ”

"All interrupters are turned on, and the connection begins."

"The power generation equipment is running at full capacity, and there is still 0.7 to reach the output limit!"

"There is no abnormal ...... in the power supply system"

Misato Katsuragi gave the order, and all the personnel involved in the "Yashima Operation" began their work in a tense and orderly manner.

Compared with the world of the "original plot", the level of science and technology in this world is much higher, including the contributions of the Zenith, as well as the contributions of a large number of new human researchers and genius scientists who have emerged among the old humans, so the energy supply system of the "Yashima Project" is not too large, just a deleted version of the space battleship weapon energy supply system.

And according to Chu Xuan's judgment, the material of the space shuttle used in this world should also be much stronger than the world of the "original plot", so in theory, the danger of the "Yashima Operation" in this world is much smaller than that of the "original plot" - but this premise is that the strength of the "Apostle" is still the same as the "original plot".

But the problem is this sixth apostle......

“…… Deliver orders to the Fourth and Fifth Fortresses: Start the operation as planned.

AWACS aircraft immediately retreated. ”

After the energy supply system successfully replenished the positive electron cannon of the EVA Hatsuki, Misato Katsuragi issued a new order in order, so the two defensive fortresses hidden in the mountains around the city of Third New Tokyo immediately opened their launch ports and fired hundreds of rockets at the blue octahedron that was quietly suspended in the night sky.

"Buzz ......"

At the same time, the Sixth Apostle, who had been quietly playing with the drill, also reacted immediately, quickly transforming into an attack mode capable of striking multiple targets at the same time! (To be continued......)

ps: The time of the second update recently is becoming more and more unfixed, and we can only suggest that you wait until the next day to read it, and it is not necessarily possible to finish it in the middle of the night.
