Chapter 729 Apostle
Tao Yu was sitting in Misato Katsuragi's car and had just rushed into the exclusive underground freight elevator when the metal gate behind it had already begun to lower.
The whole city seemed to be shaking.
It was still early in the morning, the sun had not yet risen, and most people were still asleep.
But it was the shrill alarm in this environment that created a conditioned reflex among people who had gone through many evacuation trainings.
At this time, Tao Yu and Miri had already started their journey downward into the underground city.
Compared to during the day, it seemed like they were the only two people here now.
Tao Yu looked sideways, and saw that the combat module under the twenty-four layers of steel plates had begun to make some subtle adjustments to facilitate its ascent, while the civilian buildings above had also begun to slide down as a whole, and the two sides were intertwined with each other.
"what happened?"
Although he had already made a prediction, Tao Yu still asked in a deep voice.
"The apostles are coming."
Misato Katsuragi answered briefly.
Although she doesn't know what NERV's ultimate goal is, it is her lifelong wish to stop the apostles.
"apostle……"
"According to the Dead Sea Documents..., forget it, I don't have time to say so much, come with me."
As the elevator arrived, Misato Katsuragi quickly took Tao Yu to the headquarters.
"Uh, are you just taking me to the headquarters?"
Tao Yu asked tentatively, following Misato Katsuragi.
Shouldn't we just take ourselves to familiarize ourselves with EVA?
I have just passed the initial screening, and I have not touched the machine yet, nor have I had any training. Is this appropriate...
Shinji Ikari was indeed in a hurry, but it was really urgent. Wouldn't it be better to have a little more time now?
"Otherwise? First I want you to understand what happened."
Misato Katsuragi's words made Tao Yu quickly react. By the way, NERV may not have been authorized to use EVA yet.
If the Water Angel appears in advance, it will indeed fight the UN army first, and even use N2 mines.
Miri relied on her authority to have an unimpeded journey, and then brought Tao Yu to the command room.
The atmosphere in the command room was very depressing. In front of it was a tactical three-dimensional map of New Tokyo, and there were many live images on large screens in front of it.
It is a real-time connection to some shooting equipment on site.
However, the person in charge at the scene was not Ikari Yuantang, but three senior officials wearing UN uniforms, sitting in the highest position at this time.
Ikari Yuantang, who has an obvious painting style, is also standing beside them, seemingly ready to make some explanations at any time.
Tao Yu looked at Ikari Yuantang and didn't know how to evaluate it.
Let's be honest, all his plans are to see Ikari Wei again. He only pursues this result. It doesn't matter what the process is.
Let’s talk about pure love, it played with the mother-daughter relationship between Naoko Akagi and Ritsuko Akagi.
He is also a failure as a father, a very contradictory person.
But it is undeniable that he does whatever it takes to achieve his goals, and he is very capable.
Either the Chosen One or the Luck Stealer.
The command room was already busy at this time. From the surveillance screen, it could be seen that the originally peaceful surface buildings of New Tokyo 3 had undergone major changes.
All civilian buildings have sunk, and various forts, rocket launchers, and missile silos have begun to appear.
On the peripheral coastal road, tanks and self-propelled artillery appeared out of nowhere, and some train guns also appeared on the tracks of the rail cars.
The sky was also densely populated with armed helicopters, and the live broadcast shots were constantly switching from multiple angles.
The intensity of this kind of armed force and firepower has exceeded that of a normal war.
In modern normal firepower, it is difficult to fully exert the maximum effect when concentrated together, but now these weapons are indeed so dense.
It seems that they want to increase the firepower density within the unit range.
And soon, the enemy figure this time also appeared, and the red ocean in front suddenly swelled, like a scene from Pacific Rim monsters.
A giant humanoid figure walked out of the sea. The bright red seawater slid down its shell, looking like blood and quite disgusting.
At nearly 100 meters tall, it surpasses the tailed beast!
Judging from the image, there is no doubt that it is a water angel.
That abstract face is disgusting to look at, and seems to be a natural enemy of mankind.
"There is competition between apostles and apostles, both trying to complete the collision first."
Tao Yu could generally understand the reason, but at this time he still said in a curious tone.
"Is this the apostle? The apostle who was prophesied to destroy mankind?"
"Yes, so the purpose of our existence is to stop them, and you are also an important part of it."
An old man with gray hair came to Tao Yu. It was Dongyue Gengzao.
"Me? Is it just because of yesterday's test? But nothing happened afterwards to let me continue the test."
"I know your village is special, but that's not important. You have always been responsible for completing the mission, and now, we want to hire you to complete the killing of the apostle."
Originally, Dongyue Kozao thought he could observe more. This was just a spare tire.
But suddenly the water angel's advance attack immediately disrupted all plans.
The second qualified person is in Europe, the third qualified person is still on the way over, and Ayanami is still seriously injured due to the accident in the last test.
Suddenly, the original spare tire became the only option now.
This is indeed quite different from the original plan.
Because of this, Fuyutsuki Kozo directly represented NERV in the showdown.
First make it clear that we already know your secret, and then send out an invitation to hire.
Even the conditions are stated and you can mention it at will.
"Anything? Any request?"
"any!"
"Okay, then I will keep my request first. You can tell me what you want me to do first."
Tao Yu also prefers to convince people with virtue. If he can do it without using force, it is actually good to be kind and gentle.
Now that there is no chosen one to snatch monsters, I can monopolize the benefits of the apostles, and I can also make requests to NERV later. This is simply perfect.
It doesn’t require much, just take away Lilith, the Spear of Longinus, and even the possible Adam embryo.
Ignore him for now, eat everything first.
"Okay, I didn't expect you to be so enlightened. Now let's take a closer look at the battle situation and learn more about the apostle's abilities."
Dongyue's words made Tao Yu a little speechless. I haven't touched EVA yet.
Then he said: "There were some control devices in the previous test. Do you want me to control something? Don't you want me to get familiar with it?"
"Uh, ahem, we haven't received the authorization yet, but it doesn't matter. It doesn't require driving skills. The connection mode of neurons will allow you to control your own body. As long as the synchronization rate is okay, you will get started quickly. ”
Dongyue also looked a little embarrassed at this time.
The UN army is currently resisting the Apostles, and NERV has indeed not yet received approval to use EVA.
But soon!
These weapons alone cannot threaten the apostles.
Both Dongyue and Ikari Yuantang firmly believe in this!
At this time, the large screen in front of the screen kept switching, and you could see the giant walking up from the sea. With just a flash of his eyes, the compressed AT force field blasted a cross beam from a long distance, erasing it instantly. Destroyed all the defense facilities in that area!
All armors and fortifications were like paper in the face of this attack!
Even the NERV headquarters underground could feel the faint vibration.
With a flick of his hand, his flexible and slender arms easily shot down the helicopter in the sky.
With the image of an angelic halo appearing above its head, the AT force field supported it and it flew up, as if it wanted to escape from the sea and float directly towards the third New Tokyo.
Continuous shelling bombarded the rhombus-shaped light wall of the AT force field, only ripples appeared on the surface, and could not even deform the force field.
Rockets, missiles, and various conventional weapons were poured out as if they were free, but they were all stopped by the AT force field.
You can only see it from a distance like fireworks exploding...
