The first thousand six hundred and fifty-four chapters attack again
"Unusual objects captured optically."
"E-747 also confirmed the target."
"The analysis category is blue, confirmed to be an apostle." The voice of the staff and Ritsuko Akagi came from the communicator in the car.
"All personnel, initiate first-level combat preparations." Misato Katsuragi, the captain of the combat team, immediately ordered.
At this time, Misato Katsuragi and Linton had returned to the car. Of course, they also called Rei Ayanami and Shinji Ikari, who had just had more than one class. Of course, the school could not continue classes now. The alarms went off, and the teachers also
Organizing students to gather for evacuation.
"What's wrong with your face?" Misato Katsuragi couldn't help but ask when she saw Shinji Ikari coming to join them. Indeed, Shinji Ikari's face was a little red now, as if he had been punched by someone.
"I bumped into it." Shinji Ikari replied casually, turning his eyes away.
Obviously what she said was not the truth, but Misato Katsuragi did not continue to ask about the current situation. The apostles over there were here, and she had to rush back to the headquarters to take command. There was nothing to say. Shinji Ikari had just got on the bus, and Misato Katsuragi directly
Step on the accelerator and drive towards the nearest entrance to the underground base.
"This apostle comes quite often." Linton couldn't help but say, yes, this apostle always seemed to appear a little earlier than he remembered, and he didn't know if it was his.
caused by influence.
"We don't know where those things appear from, nor when they will arrive, so we must be prepared at any time." Misato Katsuragi is not surprised by this.
The nearest entrance to the base is not very far from the school. This is probably because of the emergency situation. Since the pilots are all studying in this school, the distance from here is only a few minutes. Misato Katsuragi directly swiped it.
After passing the pass, the vehicle is directly connected to the conveyor belt to the NERV headquarters, and the person and vehicle are sent to the headquarters.
At this time, first-level combat equipment has been issued, and air raid-like sirens can be heard everywhere in New Tokyo. People who are familiar with it have already gone to their refuges, and the city has begun to transform.
The high-rise buildings in the center of the city began to sink, and defensive facilities such as defensive artillery began to appear on the surrounding mountains. Fortunately, this time the apostles gave them a lot of preparation time, and unlike last time, the command work here was the same.
NERV was in charge in the beginning, so it was naturally more effective. Last time, the League of Nations troops were responsible for the resistance at the beginning. After the N2 mine explosion was ineffective, the command was handed over to NERV.
When Misato Katsuragi and others rushed to the command room, everyone else was already there. Indeed, it was work time, and most of them were at the base. Only Misato Katsuragi was outside because she had to go through transfer procedures.
"How is the situation?" Misato Katsuragi got into work very quickly and asked directly to the staff in front.
"The image of the apostle has been captured and displayed on the big screen." The person in front replied.
Sure enough, a new picture soon appeared on the big screen. It was a piece of red sea, and a huge thing like a floating whale was moving forward. If you look carefully, you can see that this thing is long and tall.
It looks a bit like a shrimp, with two large pincers on the front and a bunch of limbs that look like gastropods on the belly.
"The current position is over the Pacific Ocean, with coordinates 00X1.42C3. It is expected to reach the sky above New Tokyo City in 31 minutes." The staff here reported.
"This thing..." Misato Katsuragi's first feeling when she saw the apostle was fear, the fear that humans have of unknown monsters. This thing is really long and very permeable.
"It exudes the aura of a weakling." However, the second half of the sentence added by Linton next to him said completely the opposite meaning.
"Hey, don't make trouble at this time." Misato Katsuragi said.
"It does look like a Pipi shrimp." Linton said, "A guy like this... I don't know how it tastes..."
"..."
"I'm not kidding, I met a huge octopus monster last time. Although it didn't look like much, it tasted so inexplicably good that I didn't even enjoy the dragon meat feast." Linton said, "
With that kind of experience, I think long seafood-like things might taste pretty good.”
"Shinji-kun, go get ready." Misato Katsuragi decided to ignore Linton's nonsense for the time being and said to Shinji Ikari next to her.
"It should be easy for me to take action here," Linton said.
Katsuragi Misato still didn't answer, because of course she had just contacted Commander Ikari. The answer to the apostle's response plan this time was to let Shinji Ikari be mainly responsible for fighting against the apostle.
Linton may not be joking. Not only Misato Katsuragi, but Gendo Ikari also knows this. He should really be able to deal with the apostle this time. However, letting Shinji Ikari come was their final decision.
There are two reasons. One is that Ikari Yuantang does not believe Linton at all. At present, they have no idea what the purpose of this guy is, and they have not found out any origin of Linton. This kind of thing comes out of nowhere.
Naturally, people are completely uncontrollable. Compared with the EVA that is completely in their hands, of course they give priority to the power in their own hands. You said that Linton was asked to take action. If he had malicious intentions, even if he didn't, he helped fight a few times.
The apostle then patted his ass and left, so I let Shinji Ikari try it out first, and if he could solve it, let him solve it, which was considered training.
The second reason is even more important now, that is, NERV must prove its worth. Yes, isn’t the purpose of NERV’s establishment to deal with the current situation? If NERV hadn’t come to fight the apostles, this organization would still have
Is it necessary to exist? Ikari Yuantang needs NERV to reflect its importance in order to facilitate their future plans, so even if Linton offers to help, they must take the initiative.
You must know that NERV is not an independent organization. Behind it is Colored ELE. In fact, Colored ELE had already questioned Ikari Yuantang about this matter after the previous battle, so this time Ikari Yuantang specifically ordered
Misato Katsuragi asked Unit 1 to attack first.
In fact, ELE didn't have such a strong idea to find Linton. The reason was the same. They didn't know Linton's background or his purpose. Compared with Linton, NERV in their hands was
It is obviously more useful, and it is their own strength. But they have not thought about whether Ikari Yuantang has its own ideas.
Fortunately, the performance of Unit 1 was pretty good before. Although it was subdued by Linton in the end, the advantage was still obvious when facing the apostles. At present, they still see Plan E. As for Linton, the other party's investigation
Before the situation came out, they didn't even think of talking to Linton.
However, neither Yuantang Ikari nor Shinji Ikari considered the situation of Shinji Ikari here. After all, in their view, Shinji Ikari was just a tool driver. But in fact, Shinji Ikari's heart was in a mess right now.
So many messy things happened in the past two days. I originally came to see my father, but in the end I just met him from a distance. As soon as I opened my mouth, he asked me to drive a strange robot to fight the enemy. There was chaos on his side.
He didn't even have time to relax, and he was immediately pulled into the cab again.
According to the original plan, EVA's dispatch this time should be at least looser than last time. Last time, the enemy was on top of them before they were dispatched urgently. This time, Katsuragi Misato is planning to have EVA dispatch in advance, and be prepared first, waiting for the enemy.
After getting close, launch a sudden attack, a plan similar to an ambush.
However, what he didn't expect was that the original preparation directly turned into a toddler class for Shinji Ikari. It took Shinji Ikari five minutes to learn how to use EVA to walk. As for operating firearms, he still didn't understand how.
What's going on, the apostles over there have already arrived.
Yes, at this time, they could already see the apostle directly on the sea from a distance. After receiving the order, Shinji Ikari immediately hid behind the stretched partition in the city, holding in his hand the first time
Hands-on rifle.
"Wait for the opponent to get close, aim at the weak spot in the middle of the opponent, and pull the trigger, can you do that?" Misato Katsuragi said to Shinji Ikari.
"Aim, shoot...aim, shoot..." Shinji Ikari repeated several times as if in self-hypnosis, "Yes, Miss Katsuragi."
Although she also knew that Shinji Ikari's situation must be very confusing now, Misato Katsuragi had nothing to do. She only had this card in her hand. Yes, she originally brought Ayanami Rei back, thinking that she might be able to let Unit Zero go into battle this time.
, but the problem is that it doesn’t work. Although the pilot has recovered from his injuries, Unit Zero has not yet recovered. The last test was because Unit Zero suddenly lost control, causing Rei Ayanami to be injured. Now Unit Zero has not been repaired on the one hand, and on the other hand
Without unblocking and without orders from Commander Ikari, Unit Zero is temporarily unable to attack.
Although Rei Ayanami is also on standby, she is still on standby on the ground and has not even entered the stance cabin. Seeing this, Misato Katsuragi also knows that Commander Ikari probably wants Unit 1 to deal with the enemy alone.
"Here we come." Just as he was thinking about it, the apostle here had already approached the city. This time he was a flying apostle, and he entered the city much faster than the one who came before.
"Get ready..." Misato Katsuragi watched the apostles approach all the way. Sure enough, the target was still directly above their base. Of course, Unit 1 was also ambushing there, "Do it!"
Shinji Ikari's reaction was quite fast. He appeared directly from the bunker and fired wildly at the apostle. However, the shooting accuracy was obviously not very good. He fired a lot of smoke, but not many bullets hit the core.
The apostle here was very calm. His two claws suddenly drooped, and then two red ribbon-like things suddenly protruded from the top of the claws, and they waved forward twitchingly.
This red ribbon directly penetrated a lot of buildings in front and the baffle in front of Unit-00 as a bunker. The next second, the rifle in Unit-00's hand was cut off. Seeing that it was about to hit him, Shinji Ikari
The pilot of Unit 1 suddenly rolled to the ground to dodge, and he actually dodged past. However, at this time, the cable connecting Unit 1 was directly cut off.
Red lights immediately lit up in the cockpit and command center of Unit 1, and a five-minute countdown timer began to count down automatically.
"The external cable is cut off, but the internal power supply can still operate for 4 minutes and 55 seconds!" the staff immediately shouted.
