The two of them thought they were going to face a serious incident, but instead they were asked an inexplicable question.
"Hungry? Is now the time to discuss this? Uncle! There must be a limit to gags!" Asuka jumped with her feet and wanted to throw the guy in front of her into the sea.
In comparison, Shinji Ikari was much more honest. He covered his stomach and said, "It seems to be a little bit."
"So, when you made a wish to the gods before, you didn't wish that we wouldn't have to eat after we come back to life." Lan Nuo looked at the endless ocean in the distance, already imagining the possible catastrophic consequences in the next few days.
"How could anyone make such a strange wish?" Shinji Ikari also had the urge to throw Lan Nuo into the sea, but his stomach growled unsatisfactorily and he let him sit back down again.
"Do you two think I'm joking? This is a very serious question. I just walked around on the beach. Look, these are the shells and conches I picked up on the beach."
Lan Nuo took out the conch, shells and other things he had just picked up from his pocket: "Because of the flood, many seabed creatures were washed ashore. In fact, according to my judgment, there should be more of these things on the shore.
, but all I picked up were these shellfish, and I didn’t see any vertebrates or any aquatic plants.
If you crack these shells and take a look, they are all empty, but according to my experience, the sea creatures I picked up were still alive a few hours ago."
The two children picked up stones from the shore and smashed things like shells and conches, only to find that there was really nothing inside.
"So..." Shinji Ikari looked at the fragments on the beach and gradually realized that something terrible was about to happen.
"During the previous completion process, it is probably not only humans who have turned into a red ocean, but also animals, plants and even microorganisms on the earth. It is very likely that they have also become part of the ocean.
We can wake up humans, because they have self-awareness and can return to reality if they wish like your wish, but as for animals and plants, animals may still have some thoughts, but they are far less complex than humans.
There is food, drink, and females mating, so what reason is there to wake up? Not to mention plants and microorganisms.
The catastrophic situation we may face is that in the next few days or even years, a large number of people will wake up one after another. You have also felt that we are still only flesh and blood, and we will be hungry and hungry.
When we are thirsty, we need to eat other animals and plants to maintain our lives.
But now on the earth, there is nothing except us, what else can we eat? We have to eat something to survive, right?" Lan Nuo's look at Shinji Ikari made him scared in his heart, especially if he cooperated
What I just said.
What do we need to eat to survive? And there is nothing left on the earth except human beings, so what else can we eat?
Lan Nuo approached the two of them step by step. The moonlight was blocked by him, and the shadow cast gradually enveloped the two of them. Asuka stood up from the ground vigilantly, grabbed a stone next to her, and made a posture of being ready to attack at any time.
Shinji Ikari faced everything in front of him at a loss. Behind him was the girl he liked, and in front of him were the victims of everything he had done. It was difficult to express the inner struggle at this time, but at this time he was actually different from the original him.
There were some differences. He was no longer just escaping. Facing Lan Nuo who was approaching step by step, Shinji Ikari suddenly stood up, stretched out his arms, and closed his eyes tightly to stand between the two of them.
"It's all my fault! If uncle wants to eat, then eat me!" It's hard to imagine what kind of courage it took for him to make such a choice.
Snapped!
A thought popped up on his forehead: "Silly boy, what are you thinking about? Even if I am the only one who wakes up, how many days will your body with no meat be enough to eat? If more people wake up, even if
Even if you grind all your bones into powder, there won't be enough for everyone to take a bite."
"Ah? What should we do?" Shinji Ikari seemed to have lost all his strength and sat down on the ground: "Uncle, can you stop making such nasty jokes! I really thought I was going to die just now."
"I'm not kidding, we are facing a real problem. Those people will always wake up, and after they wake up, how will we feed them?
I have my own principles, so I can endure hunger and not eat other people. The friendship between you or other things also prevents you from hurting each other, but other people who wake up will not do this.
Hunger can make a person go crazy. You have never experienced a real famine, and I am afraid it is still difficult to understand how terrible things such a human being would do.
I am telling you this now to prepare you mentally for what will happen next. If you face all this without preparation, let alone Shinji, you may even go crazy, Asuka."
Asuka actually has a psychological shadow about the feeling of being eaten. In her last battle, she piloted Unit 2 against the mass-produced machine. Because her body ran out of power, she was forcibly killed by the mass-produced machine.
Like vultures sharing their food.
There are some differences between EVA and ordinary mechas. The nature of semi-biological mechas allows them to share the senses with the driver when driving.
Asuka experienced the feeling of being torn apart by a vulture, and now she realized that everyone who wakes up from the ocean in the future may experience such a terrifying experience, and she couldn't help but sweat all over her body.
Shivered.
Lan Nuo suspected that in real history, Shinji Ikari once again fell into despair because he witnessed all this, and even experienced it all personally. He triggered the fourth impact in place, returning everything to the way it was before the disaster.
state.
Lan Nuo personally believes that the latter is more likely. Unit-00 is not with the three of them now. With Shinji Ikari's mobility, the possibility of recovering Unit-01 by himself is very small. The most likely reason is that he
Being thin and weak, they are regarded as prey for some people, and they are divided and eaten.
In such a situation, Unit-01 will inevitably go berserk. After all, there is the soul of Shinji Ikari's mother in it. Although the exchange of children for food during the famine years definitely happened, it is impossible for Yui Ikari no matter what.
If you allow your own child to be eaten, in that case, Unit-01 will most likely go berserk on its own, come from somewhere in the ocean, save Shinji Ikari, and trigger the fourth impact at the same time.
Of course, this is just a speculation. The original work did not describe what happened between the two world restarts. What happened in between can only be speculated.
"Then we should do something, always do something, to prevent this from happening! If it is really like what the uncle said, I would rather no one wake up." Shinji Ikari punched the ground and blood flowed from between his fingers.
flow out.
"Huh? It's rare for you to be so proactive!" Lan Nuo walked to the beach, built a pergola with his hands, looked into the distance, then turned back and shouted to the two people on the shore: "Come here, see what I found?"
Lan Nuo was holding a cylinder in his hand that was left behind by some unknown building debris, perhaps a water pipe or something like that, and he was looking into the cylinder.
After the two children ran over and took over the water pipe, they saw that there were several convex lenses stuffed inside. They might be old glasses, or they might be fragments of some experimental equipment.
Through a simple telescope, the two stood on a huge building ruin and finally spotted a point of purple on the ocean in the distance.
"Young man, you just said it! If you want to do something to prevent future disasters, then drive EVA! Not for others, but for your own wishes!
EVA is made of flesh and blood. If you can drive it to the shore, the flesh and blood contained in its huge body can solve the urgent need. Of course, this is the last resort to treat the symptoms rather than the root cause. I have another middle strategy, that is, to drive for beginners
Unit No. 1, return to the Nerv headquarters, find the device inside that can wake up humans, and then try to make the device run in reverse. Maybe you can temporarily suppress the awakening of most people. If only a few people wake up, you can solve the problem for these people to eat.
The problem is much less difficult.”
"That's right! If there were only the three of us, we wouldn't be able to finish eating the flesh and blood of Unit-1 even in a lifetime." Shinji Ikari, who has gradually gained courage, can also look at it from a realistic perspective when facing the cruel reality.
Let’s think about the problem.
"Idiot Shinji! If there were only three of us, there would be no need to eat Unit-1! Only living things can be turned into orange juice. The canned food and bagged food produced by humans before are all the same as the shells we saw, and there is no
Life, they can eat it directly.
And if all the bacteria have disappeared, the food will not go bad even if it is left for a few more years, or even more than ten years." Asuka struck Shinji Ikari on the head with a knife and snatched it from his hand.
Simple telescope.
"It's a bit far. You can only see a small dot with a telescope. It's at least ten kilometers away from us. If you swim there, you won't be able to do it even on water with no waves at all!" Asuka gave a rough estimate of them.
The distance from Unit 1: "And even if we can find Unit 1, he probably has no power. We can't drive it back at all. We can't drag him back, right?"
"I think the lack of power should not be a big problem." Lan Nuo said, already looking at Shinji Ikari: "Even everyone turned into orange juice, such an incredible thing happened. The lack of power should not be a big problem for Unit-1.
It’s not a problem at all, is it?”
Shinji Ikari scratched his head and then shook his head: "I don't know either. There is indeed a record of Unit-1 moving without electricity, but those were in a runaway state and were not under my control, but...
...The No. 1 machine itself should be able to do it, I can try it.
By the way, uncle, there is another best idea you haven’t mentioned yet!”
"Ah! What a great idea! Hahaha! Then it depends on you. You could turn everyone into orange juice before, so you can drive again, then summon that huge white god and make a wish to him to turn everything into orange juice.
If you restore it to its original state, maybe everything will change back."
"How is that possible?" The two said in unison, feeling that this plan was completely unreliable.
"Okay! It's indeed a bit unrealistic. Let me tell you something more realistic. We pilot Unit 1 to salvage various equipment that humans have used under the sea. You may not know that I was a super powerful top player before.
Engineer, if I salvage enough machinery, I might be able to build a machine that uses energy to synthesize organic matter. In that case, even if there are only humans on the earth, we can still survive!" Lan Nuo's words couldn't help but make the other two people laugh.
He gave me a look of disbelief.
The two of them are both children who have seen the world. Nerv's technological level is very high, and they have never heard of mature technology for synthesizing food. Lan Nuo said that he can build such a machine, which sounds like bragging.
.
Hmm... of course they definitely don't know that Lanno has designed countless food synthesis equipment in other worlds, and he can be said to be very familiar with this aspect. If the humans in this world hadn't completed it so thoroughly, even bacteria and viruses
They all burped. Give him a few foam boxes and he can build a temporary food synthesis system.
"Okay, don't think so much. Let's fill our stomachs first. We are going to build a raft to row across. I visually estimate that Unit 1 is 11.67 kilometers away from the nearest shore. If we don't fill our stomachs,
I'm afraid we don't have the strength to row there."
"Tch! It's still 11:67, do you think your eyes are laser rangefinders?" Asuka curled her lips and was about to grab the telescope, but she didn't expect that Lan Nuo actually took out two chocolates from his pocket and handed them to them respectively.
To her and Shinji Ikari.
"I don't have much food on me, so you two should eat sparingly. We don't have Unit 1. It's not an easy task for us to dig food from the ruins of these cities. We might not be able to complete the plan."
If a few of us starve to death on the shore, we will be finished."
The two people looking at the chocolate looked at each other in confusion: "Why do you have food on you?"
"I don't know! Why don't you ask yourself why you have clothes on you? When I first came out of the sea, I had clothes on me, and there was food in the pockets of my clothes!
Living in an era like ours, accidents can happen at any time. Many people carry some food with them. If I had known, I could have brought out food. When I condensed my human form, I should have imagined that I was carrying a whole
City, maybe when I show up, a whole city will show up with me."
The two children were frightened by the imagination of the uncle in front of them, but after thinking about it carefully, there seemed to be nothing wrong. Since the clothes could be taken out, the things in the pockets would be no problem. If they happened to be carrying a bag, it would be a big deal.
Probability can also be brought out. If we take it to the extreme, it seems possible to carry a city directly as one's own clothes.
This also made Shinji Ikari realize how powerful the "god" he faced before was. For a planet the size of the earth, it is not an exaggeration to say that the other party is omnipotent.
