"They didn't consider your safety before, and now they still don't consider that the apostle will interfere with the skills."
"It's over, humans are done~"
Shinji:……
Mr. Jon, stop complaining.
Hurry up and do something!
Blessings come in pairs, and misfortunes never come alone.
Just as Jon was speaking, Thunder Angel's drill finally invaded the underground city.
There are red lights everywhere in the base.
Sirens sounded.
The system broadcast almost filled the entire screen.
Akagi Ritsu's face was pale and his eyes were deep.
Looking to the side, Misato Katsuragi looked solemn.
He took a deep breath, suppressed his nervousness, and ordered: "Zero, can you still move? Don't hesitate, shoot the second shot quickly!"
Although the staff in the command room were not very reliable in this battle, they were not stupid either. At least they arranged plan B.
That is, shoot one more time.
On the ground, Ling Boli's movements were a little stiff. But she still pulled the gun bolt with difficulty.
"Moving, moving, Unit Zero has not lost its ability to move."
"We still have hope!"
"Come on, Zero, come on!"
It's like surviving a desperate situation.
There was cheering in the command room.
And Ayanami Rei was fully focused.
It was as if the world had become quiet.
[Replace the fuse]
【Start charging...】
[Start cooling the gun body]
[Positive electrons accelerate again]
Ling Boli is like a machine.
He endured the injuries caused by the first impact and held the weapon steadily.
"Task……"
"Complete...mission..."
The girl's voice is as thin as a mosquito.
But his eyes were firmer than ever before.
"Lingbo-san, you are so strong." Shinji couldn't help clenching his fists, and a different emotion emerged in his heart.
Classmate Lingbo who drove the EVA seemed to be a different person.
She became more alive and... more like a real "person".
He looked at it dreamily.
But at this moment, Thunder Angel glowed with a strange red light visible to the naked eye.
Shinji: "Another high-energy reaction? No, that energy ray is coming!"
As a victim of the Flame Snake, he understood the power of Thunder Angel's rays very well.
"Be careful! Classmate Lingbo!"
At the same time that his consciousness made a judgment, Shinji's body started to move on its own.
One step, two steps, three steps.
If you turn on God's perspective, you can clearly see that the running speed of Unit 1 is almost the same as the ray attack speed of Thunder Angel.
It's too late, it's too late.
An energy ray hit the No. 1 fuselage hard.
Across the two machines, Ling Boli seemed to see Shinji with a face full of pain.
The frozen face that had remained unchanged for thousands of years finally showed a hint of movement.
"Shinji-kun!"
But she didn't know.
In Shinji's ears, some people were already complaining.
"Okay, okay, this is how you play, isn't it?"
Jon had to sigh with emotion at the wonder of fate.
In the original fate, it was Ling Boli who ran out to block the Thunder Angel's attack for Shinji.
After going around and around, he turned into Shinji and blocked Ling Boli's attack.
Anyway, either I will block it for you, or you will block it for me.
There is no one left.
How about saying that fate is a ring.
No matter what, what is supposed to happen will happen.
Feelings are feelings.
Shinji's current situation is indeed not good.
Silly boy is too excited.
In other words, this silly boy is too high-spirited.
He didn't even raise his shield and just used his body to bear the damage.
Doesn't it hurt?
You must know that Thunder Angel's integrated ray is no joke. Even the restraining armor of Unit 1 will quickly melt and evaporate.
It's like an ice cube meeting a hot iron ball.
In the blink of an eye, it disappeared without a trace.
And Shinji's current synchronization rate with Unit-00 is already high, which means that a huge proportion of the damage suffered by Unit-01 will be fed back to him.
The poor child was already weak, but after being shot like this, he screamed again and again.
But even so.
He refused to move a step.
Even Jon had to admit it.
"I agree with you, Asasi!"
Shinji shouted in his heart: "Stop saying such incomprehensible words, Qiao Qiao-san, please do something, I won't be able to hold on anymore."
"You have to hold on even if you can't hold on. Men can't say they can't do it."
Having said that, Jon couldn't really watch Shinji die. He secretly released a bit of life force and repaired Shinji's body.
Shinji: Oh, I'm fine.
But the next second, the burning of the integrated ray came from the wound again.
Shinji: Help, help!
It can only be said that Jon knows how to control temperature.
It neither made Shinji feel better nor allowed Thunder Angel to successfully kill him.
This kid should be given a long memory.
Don't be impulsive and make mistakes next time.
Verbal narration is quite cumbersome. In fact, the real world only lasts two or three seconds.
Seeing the dark purple machine lying in front of her, Ling Boli was dumbfounded and unconsciously lowered the muzzle of her gun.
But at this moment, Misato Katsuragi's voice in the earphones revealed an unprecedented seriousness: "Zero, what are you doing? Don't... don't let down Shinji-kun's kindness. Listen to my order, raise the gun, and prepare for the second shot.
Round shooting.”
Ling Boli took a deep breath and shouted yes.
Now is not the time to think about other things, completing the combat mission is the primary goal.
But for some reason, Ling Boli, who had never had any emotional fluctuations, felt sincerely entangled and confused.
And a trace of emotions that even she herself couldn't explain.
Yes, distressed?
Ayanami Rei doesn't know.
Needless to say, Unit 1 is really capable.
Shinji was willing to go all out for a woman. He was so full that he didn't fall down.
Falling here refers to falling in a spiritual sense.
In fact, he has already pounced...
"Young people are good, just fall asleep."
Jon smiled and logged in.
The good news is that after Ling Boli blocked this laser cannon, the positron cannon was charged again, and the black muzzle gathered a little blue light.
Unit Zero's hand was straight and steady, pointing directly at the core of Thunder Angel.
"emission!"
At the same time, countless people were roaring and Ling Boli's hand pulled the trigger.
The next second, a brilliant light that could not be described in words penetrated the Thunder Angel.
Bang!
A sniper shot!
Penetrating damage, outstanding effect.
But what is surprising is that Thunder Angel staggered for a while but did not fall down.
"How is this possible!" Misato Katsuragi panicked.
Ritsuko Akagi panicked.
Ikari Yuantang couldn’t sit still either.
The entire base fell into an atmosphere called despair.
The buzz of the drill resounded overhead, like the laughter of a thunder angel.
It won't take long for it to completely penetrate the protective steel plate, and then...
There is no more.
Because Unit 1 stood up.
Thunder Lord help me!
Boom.
Thunder struck down from the top of his head.
Bathed in the sky full of lightning, the tattered Unit 1 revealed a different kind of evil aura.
The battle is not over yet...
Quite the opposite.
The battle has just begun!
"There are some minor problems, but it's not a big problem." Jon moved his body.
He knew his time was limited, so he had to make a quick decision.
Grab the shield and draw the sword.
The hideous Unit-1 looks more like a monster than ever before.
Take big strides forward.
Then comes the trot.
Then run wildly!
Misato Katsuragi became anxious and told Jon through internal communication: "Are you crazy? There is no chance of winning in close combat!"
Thunder Angel can transform into many forms according to the situation and is an aerial fortress capable of both offense and defense.
This thing is equivalent to the Variety Monster among the Apostles.
In addition to integrating rays and drills, there may be many changes.
But Jon said, is it useful to change the form?
Let’s see how I can defeat it with my strength!
Visible to the naked eye, Thunder Angel plans to shoot lasers again.
Jon raised his eyebrows: "Mu Da Mu Da!"
After saying that, he raised his shield in front of him.
This shield is also a black technology of the base. It was originally the equipment of Unit 0, but because of the different tasks and operations this time, it was given to Unit 1.
Block.
But it wasn't completely blocked.
The shield was melted through.
Fortunately, Jon also got close to Thunder Angel.
Small knife, small knife, don’t laugh if I prick you.
The plasma dagger buzzed and pierced into the surface of the Thunder Angel.
Just hear a click.
Thunder Angel's body was shattered inch by inch.
But the next second.
The octahedron twisted and deformed, and a vaguely strange face seemed to appear. Not only that, but two slimy tentacles emerged from the broken parts and wrapped around the body of Unit-1.
"Shinji!" Ayanami Rei was really anxious and stepped forward without thinking.
Misato Katsuragi saw this and reminded her: "Don't! If you rush forward rashly, you will only get in the way. Zero, you can stand still for the time being and wait for my instructions."
Ayanami Rei: "But!"
"No buts, this is an order."
Ayanami Rei:......
The end.
His expression returned to his usual expression: "Understood."
During the conversation between the two, Unit-01, Thunder Angel and Passion exchanged dozens of moves.
Thunder Angel has indeed been greatly strengthened.
Hitting a shot with a positron cannon is like "nothing is wrong".
Thunder Angel: Just a little bit of wind and frost.
Jon can be said to be suppressing the Thunder Angels.
But the Thunder Angel was not immune, as the waving of several tentacles almost caused a sonic boom.
If it were anyone else, they would have knelt down long ago.
But Jon didn't kneel.
Not only did he not kneel, but he also caused considerable damage.
The people in the base were all dumbfounded.
Is this how fast humans can react?
But after the shock, there was endless ecstasy.
The stronger Unit 1 is, the stronger its power against the Apostles is.
Just thinking about it.
When Misato Katsuragi saw that a certain indicator finally reached normal, she quickly ordered: "Zero, find the right moment and fire another shot."
The first shot missed.
The second shot hit, but the effect was not obvious.
If there's a third shot, you can't still live, can you?
Ritsuko Akagi frowned after hearing this: "The third shot? Where does the positron cannon get its energy?"
"There will be a power outage tonight and it will continue tomorrow. No matter what, the top priority is to eliminate the fifth apostle!" Misato Katsuragi said resolutely: "I am the commander of this battle. If anything goes wrong, I will take full responsibility for it."
!”
Listen to what she said.
Others remained silent.
But Misato Katsuragi was unsure.
Each shot of the positron cannon consumes a huge amount of electricity.
To put it bluntly.
Every shot costs money.
Burning a lot of money.
If you still can't solve the Thunder Angel.
Misato Katsuragi felt that she might become the biggest war criminal in Neon...
I wonder if God heard her prayer.
The electronic cannon that is charged for the third time seems to be more powerful than the first two times?
"Zero, be ready, you can fire at any time!"
Ayanami Rei: "I understand."
Having said that, it is really difficult to find a suitable shooting opportunity in the battle between 'Shinji-kun' and the apostle.
She glanced at it for a long time, but to no avail.
The injured Thunder Angel, aware that he was about to suffer, actually took the initiative to sell out his flaw, abandoned Unit 1, and quickly arrived in front of Unit 0 with a strange, dark, twisted and crawling movement.
Ayanami Rei:!!!
not good.
How could Jon let the Thunder Angel get what he wanted? A plasma dagger hit the enemy's body, and his two arms used force to hug the twisted octahedron.
"Shinji-kun! What are you doing, Shinji-kun!" Ayanami Rei was anxious, and the hand holding the gun was trembling.
"Don't worry about me." Jon's tone remained calm, "At this altitude, the positron cannon will never hit the cockpit where I am. You can shoot at will."
Ayanami Rei: "No, I can't do it."
"Shoot, Piccolo, this is an order." Jon smiled and played a Dragon Ball joke.
Although his current situation with Thunder Angel is indeed very similar to Goku and Raditz back then.
And the opportunity to end the battle is Piccolo dressed in green...oh no, Rei Ayanami.
"But it's so close, we all know it." Ling Boli didn't finish her words, but her meaning was obvious.
Jon's smile remained: "Don't worry, we will never die.
Now, fire!"
After hearing this, Ayanami Rei felt a trace of confusion flash in her eyes.
But based on her trust in Shinji, she still pulled the trigger.
call out--
There was a flash of blue light.
At this moment, this is the most brilliant color in the world.
The huge impact shook Unit Zero away.
Before falling into coma, Ayanami Rei turned around with difficulty, only to see the apostle floating in the air gradually sinking. She couldn't help but feel relieved and said weakly:
"It's really great."
…
…
What happened next? Shinji couldn't remember clearly.
When he woke up again, he was still lying on the hospital bed.
The unfamiliar ceiling in the hospital has become familiar.
Turning to look around, I saw flowers and fresh fruit baskets neatly placed on the bedside table.
"I am..."
When Shinji woke up, he received a lot of attention immediately.
As her immediate boss, Misato Katsuragi breathed a sigh of relief, half complaining and half scared: "Really, your kid is too scary. You said you wanted to help, but why did you forget the shield in your hand at the critical moment?"
Shield?
Yes!
Previously, Unit-01 was holding a special shield in its hand.
But the situation was critical at that time, and Shinji didn't have the habit of raising a shield during training, so he naturally used his body as a 'shield'.
Misato Katsuragi said angrily: "Do you know how much trouble your impulsiveness has brought to the base? If it weren't for the follow-up... forget it, let's not talk about it."
She looked at Shinji, thought for a moment, and then changed the subject: "As soon as the battle ended, Zero opened your hatch at the risk of getting burned.
I've never seen her look like that before."
"Lingbo-san?" Shinji felt a little strange when he heard the name.
Thinking of that cold and charming face, he couldn't help but blush.
Perhaps from this moment on, he really had a different kind of affection for Ayanami Rei.
