"Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"

The Sixth Apostle's interceptor beam swung in the night sky, destroying all the rockets that flew at it, not even missing.

Immediately afterward, an extremely dazzling white light shot out from near the core of the Sixth Apostle, and then the 3rd Ground Attack System, which had just fired rockets, was immediately devastated.

However, they were originally used to attract the Sixth Apostle to counterattack, and in order to keep the Sixth Apostle in a state of attack with the core exposed, the 2nd Battery built behind another hill also opened fire on the 6th Apostle out of sight.

Soon, the 2nd battery was also destroyed by the counterattack of the 6th Apostle, followed by the 8th Vertical Launch System Group, the 4th Ground Attack System, the 6th Missile Position, the Laser Gun Group, and the 7th Battery......

At the same time, EVA Prime, with an oversized sniper helmet on its head, was lying quietly in the sniper position, shield-wielding Zero and Zagu 2 were guarding it, and there were seven or eight shields on the ground next to them.

This was the greatest help that the technical department could provide to Chu Xuan and Ayanami Rei, but if the Sixth Apostle could also increase the power of the attack, these shields together might not be able to stop much time.

Especially Zagu 2, who couldn't open the AT force field to thicken the shield, no matter how strong the shield in its hand was, it could only last for three or five seconds at most before it began to melt, not to mention that Chu Xuan also insisted on handing over all the two shields that were transformed by the space shuttle chassis to Machine Zero for use, and he took the risk of using a composite armored steel shield that could be penetrated within two seconds.

But if the shield is lost, EVA Zero can still resist for nearly ten seconds with the armor and AT force field on its body, while the armor steel of Zagu 2 will be quickly evaporated by the high-energy particle beam of the Sixth Apostle like paper paste, and there will be no melting process, and the risk taken by the two is not at the same order of magnitude!

“…… 5！

4！

3！

2！

1！ ”

"Launch!"

Under the orders of Misato Katsuragi, the EVA first machine, which successfully waited for the automatic aiming system to lock on to the S2 mechanism of the Sixth Apostle, finally pulled the trigger. Shinji Ikari, who was the pilot of the first plane, didn't even have to judge when to launch himself, he just had to follow the orders and act, and everything went smoothly according to plan.

And then......

"Boom". The first Positive Electron Cannon was as calculated to miss a little, but it was this "little bit" that caused the cannon to just fly past the edge of the Sixth Apostle's S2 mechanism. However, it still caused some damage to its core.

"Twitter——!"

The Sixth Apostle let out a shrill sound that was both like a beast screaming and like metal grinding, and quickly shrank back into the pyramidal body of the attack mode, turning back into an impenetrable octahedron, like a turtle with its head and limbs shrunk.

"Missed!"

Although it had been clearly mentioned in Chu Xuan's battle plan that it was almost impossible to hit the first shot, people who fantasized about miracles still felt extremely annoyed, but as the commander-in-chief. Misato Katsuragi didn't have time to feel chagrin or regret right now, and she immediately continued to issue orders to the various departments according to the original plan.

"Prepare for the second power supply now!

Shinji, grasp the second blow, this time we will definitely be able to hit! ”

"There is a high-energy response within the target!"

"Leigh!"

"Buzz ......"

Not a few seconds later. The Sixth Apostle quickly began to transform again, and this time it showed a new form that had never appeared before, and the five-pointed star-shaped body turned out of the body layer by layer, and finally revealed the core At the same time, the pillar of light comparable to the power of the main gun of the main battleship immediately shot towards the first machine.

However, the zero machine, which had been reminded by Chu Xuan in advance, had already carried two shields in front of the first machine. When the beam of light came, it did not hit the first plane lying on the ground, but hit the chassis of the space shuttle that Zero was holding against with its entire arm and shoulder.

"Bang!"

The unusually large force of impact was transmitted through the shield to the body of Unit Zero, and the blocked particle beams scattered in all directions, like a column of water hitting a rock.

Machine Zero, which had already stood in a preset defensive position in advance, just slid backwards for a short distance and stopped. Because its feet are firmly pressed on a composite shock absorber specially poured with layers of steel plates, jumbo springs, hydraulic fluid, hard wood, soft wood and quick-drying solidified soil.

However, after this disposable buffer withstood such a huge impact, the ground near it burst open, and you can imagine what the buffer that was riveted by extremely thick steel plates and poured into the ground with concrete can be imagined.

And this is also thanks to the existence of the AT force field, otherwise this impact force may be able to bounce the buffer buried in the concrete directly into the sky...... No, before that, Zero's legs must have been broken.

However, even if Unit Zero can still hold up, it is very worrying about how long the shield in its hand can hold up, so Misato Katsuragi anxiously urged:

"Hurry up for the second shot!"

"The fuse has been replaced, and the barrel has cooled down!

The transmission system continues to produce maximum power, and it is expected to be fully charged in 32 seconds! ”

"After re-entering each element of the shot, we will start correcting the error!"

Misato Katsuragi's Makoto Hinata and Maya Ibuki, as well as the staff who maintain the energy supply system, of course, did not deliberately delay their work, but even if they all risked their lives to continue their work, it was impossible to make the machines that had run to the limit faster, and they could only rely on the efforts of Rei Ayanami and Chu Xuan to survive this time.

"The shield has begun to melt, and the zero machine has been replaced with a second shield, which is expected to melt in 7 seconds!"

"Zagu 2 handed over a spare shield to Unit Zero, but it is not expected to take more than 2 seconds to support it!

Spare shields are replaced! Start melting now!

Another shield! Melt!

Another side melts ......"

With the special shield modified from the chassis of the first space shuttle, Unit Zero successfully won 10 seconds, but as the Sixth Apostle continued to improve its output, the second special shield only won 7 seconds; In the remaining 15 seconds, the Zagu 2 driven by Chu Xuan only had time to hand over 3 shields to the zero machine, gaining 5 seconds.

Because...... At this time, the speed at which the shield melted was already as fast as the speed at which Machine Zero accurately stretched out its huge palm to the handle behind the shield, and then replaced the other thawed shield, even Chu Xuan didn't have the extra time to take the shield again!

So, after flying back at full speed with the fourth and fifth shields, Chu Xuan's Zagu 2 did not hand the shield to Unit Zero again, but flew straight to the front of Machine Zero, directly blocking Machine Zero with his shield and body.

However, Chu Xuan didn't simply want to resist the useless second and a half for Ayanami Rei, according to the tactics formulated before, Machine Zero stretched out his hands behind Zagu 2, grabbed the shield with it, and applied the AT force field to the shield.

But even if Ayanami Rei increased her AT force field by a small amount this time because she was worried about Chu Xuan's safety, she couldn't let these two shields last more than 4 seconds, but it would take 6 seconds before the second Yang Electron Cannon was charged!

"Whew......

Boom ——! ”

Before the last shield melted, Unit Zero suddenly threw out Zagu 2, which was "snuggling" in its arms, along with the shield that was about to completely melt, and then kept a lunge forward posture, using its body to block the high-energy particle beam that was still increasing its power a little!

"Boom Boom ......"

Although the armor of Unit Zero was protected by an AT force field that was stronger than the AT force field that Ayanami Rei could release at this stage, it still quickly melted at a speed visible to the naked eye, but the body of Eva, which was supposed to be "protected" in the armor, seemed to be more resilient, and it still stood tenaciously under the bombardment of high-energy particle beams.

The girl in the zero machine should be enduring the pain of burning herself in flames at this time, but she still continues her mission firmly, as if she will not take half a step back when she dies!
