"Chu Xuan, you're finally back!

This is Shinji-kun Ikati, hello, I'm Misato Katsuragi."

When the escalator-like "special train" stopped at the "terminal station", and Chu Xuan started the six-wheeled Hummer to drive through a metal passage, Shinji Ikari, who got off the train with a heart full of shock, was immediately greeted by a mature beauty in a red jacket.

"Ah, you, hello......"

"Chu Xuan, the situation is very bad, the zero machine piloted by Li has been defeated, and Li is also seriously injured.

Now they continue to fight with the Fourth Apostle** are the MA and MS forces, but their attacks are basically ineffective in the face of the Apostle's AT force field.

Luckily, you brought the Third Qualified One just in time, and we'll take him to Gnaku to see Commander Ikari at once, so go and see Rei. ”

By the side of Misato Katsuragi, the head of operations of the first section of the Tactical Operations Bureau of the NERV headquarters, Ritsuko Akagi, who was only wearing a one-piece swimsuit in her white coat, briefly explained to Chu Xuan the situation on the ground just now, and reminded him "kindly".

"In that case, Shinji Ikari will be handed over to you.

Dr. Akagi, where is Rei? ”

"First Clinic."

Chu Xuan nodded to Ritsuko Akagi and Misato Katsuragi, and then without hesitation, he left Shinji Ikari who was still confused, and quickly left here without looking back, he quickly found the shortest route from the internal structure map of the nerv base in his mind, and soon came to the first medical room.

"Chu Xuan, Li seems to be very seriously injured!"

The black cat, who was sitting on the bench outside the first medical room, immediately stood up when he saw Chu Xuan and said to him very anxiously.

Although she knew that Rei Ayanami was "originally" going to be injured, but it would not be fatal, but the world they were in was not a simple EVA world, and it was hard to say how reliable the "original plot" was, so it was impossible for the black cat not to worry about Rei Ayabaami, whose injuries looked terrifying.

"Calm down, this is the real fight."

Chu Xuan didn't comfort the black cat softly, but said to her in a calm tone.

Although Black Cat can also be called "seasoned", her battles are all played in virtual reality games, and her psychological quality still needs to be strengthened - even "God's Realm", which cannot be resurrected after death, is still a game, and the injuries in that game are completely different from the real injuries.

"But, but ......"

Listening to Chu Xuan's words, the black cat tried her best to suppress her uneasiness and forced herself to calm down, but her eyes were still unusually moist, and her gaze towards the diagnosis room was also full of worry.

Of course, the black cat also knew that after Ayanami Rei's death, her soul would be transferred to a spare body, and she would not really die, but even so, she did not want her friend to die.

And there are still some problems with that soul transfer technology, although the soul transferred to the new body is the soul of the real Rei Ayabaami, but it can't completely fuse with the memories in the previous body, or it can only retrieve the memories from the last "soul backup", which is actually not much different from changing people.

"I'll go in and see Leigh."

Chu Xuan gently patted the black cat's rather thin shoulder, and then opened the door of the intensive care unit next to the first treatment room, opposite the thick glass wall, her head and arms were bandaged, and there were several nurses and doctors around Ayanami Rei, who was receiving an infusion, who had been monitoring her condition.

Seeing Rei Ayanami like this, the black cat's eye circles were slightly red, but she didn't show a distressed expression anymore, but forced her eyes to become stronger.

"Doctor, how's Leigh doing?"

Chu Xuan pressed the video call device outside the glass wall, and on the screen, Chu Xuan saw that Rei Ayanami also opened her eye that was not covered by gauze, and calmly looked at the video call screen placed at the bedside, neither coquettish nor crying out in pain.

"The bleeding in the flank has stopped, and there is no problem with the eyeball, which does not affect vision.

Other than that, there were multiple abrasions and contusions on the body, but there were no major problems, and there were no injuries to the brain and organs. ”

The doctor replied in a calm tone, although Ayanami Rei's injuries did indeed only look terrifying, but in fact they were not serious, but his expression and tone were too calm, just like Chu Xuan, this must not be explained by "the patient is fine", even in the face of the patient who is about to die, I am afraid he still has such an attitude.

If there is anyone in this world who has seen more dead people than the average soldier, it is undoubtedly the people who work in crematoriums, hospitals, and criminal police units.

"Rumble ......"

Suddenly, in the ward...... No, it was the entire underground base that shook, although no one informed Chu Xuan of the situation in the outside world, but he knew very well that this could only be caused by the Fourth Apostle starting to attack the armor plate above the underground base, so Commander Ikari ......

"Chu Xuan."

Sure enough, within half a minute, Deputy Commander Dongyue also came to the intensive care unit, he nodded to Chu Xuan, and then immediately conveyed Commander Ikari Yuantang's ruthless order.

"The third qualified person you just sent over refused to fly the first plane, so Commander Ikari ordered Rei to take the first plane to attack again."

"I refuse."

Chu Xuan, who was a model soldier, pushed down his reflective glasses with an expressionless face this time, and refused Commander Ikati's order without hesitation.

"Rei's body is no longer suitable for another attack, and her synchronization rate with the first machine is much lower than that of the zero machine, but she can just make the first machine maneuver, even if she barely attacks, it will have no effect."

"This ...... As long as it can move, it's fine. ”

Deputy Commander Dongyue said a puzzling word, and then showed a helpless wry smile to Chu Xuan, and once again connected to Commander Ikari Yuantang's communication line.

Chu Xuan refused to let Li attack again.

"Got it."

Deputy Commander Dongyue only said a word to Ikari Gentang, and the call was interrupted, and then the communication line inside the intensive care unit was connected, and Ikari Gentang's voice, which always made people feel a little gloomy, sounded again."

"Leigh."

"Yes."

"The repositories can't be used, do it again."

"Yes."

After a brief conversation, Ikari hung up the communication, but no one dared to take his orders seriously.

Deputy Commander Dongyue patted Chu Xuan on the shoulder, then directly crossed him, and ordered the doctors and nurses on the other side of the glass wall in a calm and cold tone through the video communication device that had not been turned off:

"Send the first qualified person to Gnaku immediately, and if she can't walk on the ground, push her straight over."

"I'll go to Gnaku too."

Chu Xuan left such a sentence to Deputy Commander Dongyue with an expressionless face, and then left with the black cat beside Rei Ayana, who was pushed out of the intensive care unit, and Deputy Commander Dongyue did not stop him.

After rushing to the bridge at Gnaku, Chu Xuan and the black cat saw Shinji Ikari who was looking this way, while Misato Katsuragi and Ritsuko Akagi were no longer by his side.

Chu Xuan walked quickly to Shinji Ikaru's face, and asked in a very cold voice:

"You refuse to fly the first plane?"

Intimidated by Chu Xuan's momentum, Shinji Ikari involuntarily took two steps back, shrunk back, looked at him with rather timid eyes, and argued for himself in a trembling tone:

"Because they want me to drive this robot I haven't seen before to fight, and I don't even know what I'm going to fight against!"

"You don't have to know what to fight."

Chu Xuan pushed down his reflective glasses expressionlessly, and his tone was unusually calm, but he suddenly took a step in the next second, stretched out his right hand and grabbed Shinji Ikati's neck, and lifted him off the ground with one hand.

"You just need to know that if you don't get on that robot, you're going to die now."

"Chu, Chu Xuan!"

Seeing that Chu Xuan's right hand had really tightened, and pinched Shinji Ikari so that his face began to turn red, the startled black cat immediately ran past Rei Ayabaami, who was about to try to get up, but Chu Xuan spoke up in advance to stop her dissuasion.

"Don't stop me, if he won't pilot the first plane, I'll let him die in front of Leigh." (To be continued.) )
