EVA: Shinji Ikari Returns from the Dragon Clan
Chapter 245 243 Asuka in Poor ConditionChapter 245 243. Asuka in poor condition
The two of them went to the window together.
From this perspective, the silhouette of the glowing ring-shaped apostle is clearer.
At this time, the mobile phone that Shinji Ikari always carried with him rang. After he answered the call, he heard the anxious voice of Misato Katsuragi. She had sent a special car to pick up the driver, and the two of them just had to wait in the hospital.
"Hey Shinji, looks like I can be discharged early."
Asuka said this in a nonchalant manner.
She had just thought about being discharged early, but when the apostles came, her unreliable idea came true. But this was not such a lucky thing. Asuka was no longer the belligerent person she was when she first came to Japan. If possible, she would rather stay in the hospital for another week.
Unit-01 has been frozen, and now the main force is only Unit-02.
Although she was still in the hospital, she was in good condition after a week of rest, so she was naturally ready to go to the battlefield. Besides, it was not Asuka's character to continue to be hospitalized for a minor injury even though she knew there was a battle.
The hospital completed the discharge procedures very quickly.
Of course, the drivers were already on their way to the headquarters before this.
In the special car.
Asuka is still thinking about the Human Completion Project.
Before she knew about this, she only needed to train easily every day and wait for the apostles to come. After knowing this, she couldn't help but feel a little worried. Her originally carefree mood was destroyed in an instant. Moreover, today was her menstrual period, and a new apostle came to invade. All bad things happened at the same time. In short, Asuka's mood is terrible now.
She glanced at Shinji Ikari who was sitting next to her.
He was originally looking at the scenery outside the window, but when he felt Asuka's gaze on him, he turned his head.
"..."
The two stared at each other.
Shinji Ikari couldn't understand what her eyes meant.
Asuka snorted twice. Considering that there were staff members in the special car, this young lady naturally would not do anything intimate. She looked at the scenery passing by outside like Ikari Shinji.
Soon the special car arrived at the headquarters. People in Tokyo had already gone to the shelter, so they didn't need to wait for traffic lights on the road. The two looked at the scenery on the ground of the headquarters. Since the invasion of the Fourteenth Angel, the area was devastated. Although it had been repaired, the building could not be built in a day. There were even scattered billboards and concrete fragments that had not been cleaned up much.
When the two entered the command room, they found it was full of busy staff.
Misato Katsuragi was watching the surveillance footage.
The headquarters' helicopter was watching the new Angel from a distance. From the images transmitted back, it could be seen that the 16th Angel was very close to the underground city, and they had to attack quickly. But Misato Katsuragi kept frowning, as if something was bothering her.
Ikari Shinji noticed something and asked:
"Haven't you figured out its attack method?"
"Well, it just opened the AT field, but there was no response to the missiles."
Misato Katsuragi sighed.
The apostles who invaded a long time ago used fighter jets to launch missiles. You can see them fighting back against the fighter jets and also responding to these annoying flies. But the apostles that came later seemed to know that these flies could not cause any harm to them, so they often opened up their AT force fields and ignored the missile attacks from the fighter jets.
The Apostles are evolving...
Fortunately, there shouldn't be many apostles left.
"Go, Asuka, Rei." She pushed away the thoughts in her mind and gave orders to the pilots, "And Shinji-kun, you have to put on your combat uniform too."
"Is Unit-01...unfrozen?"
"Not yet." Misato Katsuragi shook her head, "Just in case of emergency."
Time is tight.
Asuka and Rei Ayanami both went to the dressing room. It only took a few minutes for them to enter the cockpit and be transported to their respective EVA machines. As for who would be the main force and who would be the support, it was naturally the same arrangement as when they fought the fifteenth angel.
However, this time the apostles are not floating in satellite orbit, but are visible and tangible opponents.
The fiery red machine reached the ground first.
The long body cable is connecting the body of Unit 2. Today in Tokyo, there is no wind or rain, and even the scorching sun is blocked by white clouds. From a distance, it looks like a bunch of stacked marshmallows.
This was Asuka's first time driving Unit 2 after being hospitalized. Although she hadn't seen it for a week, she was still familiar with the controls. Not only that, she felt like a fish in water, and it felt more and more comfortable to control this giant. Perhaps it was because her mother was with her. The increased synchronization rate transmitted from the communication channel also verified that her idea was not an illusion.
Time—noon.
Above the vast sky above the Third New Tokyo City, the Sixteenth Apostle was floating. Anyone standing on the ground and looking up could see its figure.
Asuka carefully observed its appearance.
The new apostle seemed to have completely escaped from the realm of biology, with a circle of ring-shaped light bands all over his body.
No eyes, no ears...
The same happened to the fifteenth apostle last time. His entire body glowed, and no one knew where his core was. In the end, he relied on the Spear of Longinus to solve the problem. But this time, there was no Spear of Longinus to use as a weapon. When facing an opponent who couldn't find his core, the general approach was to first disable his ability to move, and then slowly look for it. But this apostle didn't even have hands or feet, and his entire body was just a ring of light, like a python.
How do you fight this damn thing?With a body length of one kilometer, it is a very terrifying monster from a human perspective. Just looking at it makes people feel suffocated, and they can't even muster the desire to fight. But from the perspective of an EVA body, it is like a giant python that is ten times larger than its size. Facing such an enemy, Asuka did not retreat much.
As her thoughts raced.
Unit 00 has begun to neutralize the Angel's AT field.
The yellow-white machine held a huge assault rifle, ready to provide long-range attacks, and the machine exuded a cold steel feeling. In the cockpit, Rei Ayanami's face was full of seriousness. Although she was always in a support position due to the performance of the machine, it did not mean that she could not help.
"The AT field has been neutralized, Asuka, you can try to attack."
Misato Katsuragi said on the communication channel.
Before the fight, she was worried about this new Angel. Maybe the AT field was so strong that it would take two EVAs to neutralize it. Fortunately, Rei alone was enough. Katsuragi Misato glanced at the two commanders on the platform. She was ready to request the unfreeze of Unit-01.
"Has it been neutralized?"
The Fourteenth Angel seemed to have said the same thing before... Asuka did not hesitate much. When she heard the order to attack, Unit 2 was like a beast that had been suppressed for a long time and released from its cage. The fiery red body had a streamlined sense of power. The boots left two distinct footprints on the special ground, and it turned into a red shadow, ejected, and leaped forward an astonishing hundreds of meters.
The apostle immediately noticed this machine.
The light band broke off from somewhere on the body, and then, the broken light band ignored the laws of physics, and in an instant the broken part rushed over at the speed of sound without any warning, like a tentacle.
laugh--
It was the sound of a strong wind.
In this brief moment, Unit 2 suddenly ducked, and its right leg moved more than ten meters to the right, and then its left leg followed. The entire machine moved sideways to the right, passing by the apostle's tentacles of light.
——It came up empty-handed.
The beam of light continued to rush back for a distance with its residual power, piercing through an abandoned building with a sign saying "Bank". When it retracted the tentacles of the beam of light, the place was already filled with smoke and dust. A huge hole was suddenly created in the abandoned building, and several pieces of rubble rolled down. If there were really bank robbers, they could now go directly in and find the vault - although that thing should have been moved out of Tokyo long ago.
The attack power is very average.
Asuka had this thought in her mind. Of course, if Unit 2 was hit, it would probably melt away some of its tissues. She had no intention of being masochistic.
"Humph, don't even think about hitting me at such a slow speed."
She thought to herself. After so many battles, everyone would learn a lesson. The first thing is to try not to be hit by the apostles before understanding their abilities. When Asuka thought this, she heard a loud gunshot that was loud enough to pierce a person's eardrum, bang bang bang.
The gunshot must have come from Unit 0.
Asuka looked over there and found that Unit-0 was also attacked. Fortunately, Rei Ayanami was far away. Although the Angel attacked suddenly, it gave her enough time to react. At this moment, Unit-0 was firing non-stop, trying to repel the Angel's attack.
...Since it is a light band, there will naturally be another end after it breaks.
Each end of the Angel was aimed at a machine.
Unit 00 is already in a tough fight.
Asuka couldn't help but purse her lips, and a unwillingness to admit defeat surged up. Although she and the top student had always been at odds with each other, they were now on the battlefield, and the apostles attacked her and the top student at the same time. Didn't that mean they didn't take her, who was in the main position, seriously?however.
The apostles' light pillars and tentacles attacked wave after wave.
Especially Unit 2, which rushed to the front, was its main target, and Unit 0 was just a by-product. Asuka quickly realized this fact and put aside her worries about the top student. She was going to try to chop the light belt with the particle knife. No matter how it moved, if the light belt was chopped into pieces, it would definitely not move. The fiery red butterfly wandered on the battlefield, constantly shortening the distance with the apostle.
At a certain moment, when the heel of Unit 2 touched the ground, the body suddenly staggered.
Fake action?Ikari Shinji, who was watching the battle, denied this speculation.
——This is a mistake.
Asuka had never made a mistake before. She was like a dancing butterfly on the battlefield, always dodging the attacks of the apostles with agility and exquisite movements. Now this low-level mistake could only have one reason, that is, her mental state was not good.
"I haven't recovered completely yet..."
Shinji Ikari had a bad feeling in his heart.
After all, Asuka had only been recovering from illness for a week, and she was a little uncoordinated when she moved her body today, so it was natural that she had some minor problems controlling Unit 2. But now she was on the battlefield, and any small mistake could be magnified into a fatal injury.
Asuka realized this and alarm bells started ringing in her heart.
not good!
Fighting against an apostle required her to be extremely focused and not make the slightest mistake. But she already felt a dull headache, her brain sending out a signal that she needed to rest. Fortunately, the apostle did not notice her mistake, and the beam of light did not change direction midway. Although Unit 2 did stumble, it managed to dodge the attack of the apostle at the last moment.
Danger after danger!
Everyone in the command room was nervous about it.
Asuka seemed to be able to feel the whistling of the wind and couldn't help feeling a little scared.
She miscalculated her balance. At the critical moment, the mental phantom pain recurred, interfering with her control of Unit 2.
