I really can't control myself

Chapter 1654
"Optical capture of anomalous objects."

"E-747 also confirmed the target."

"The analysis category is blue, confirmed as an apostle." The voices of the staff and Ritsuko Akagi came from the communicator in the car.

"All personnel, activate the first level of combat preparation." The combat team captain Misato Katsuragi immediately ordered.

At this time, Katsuragi Misato and Linton had already returned to the car, and of course they also called Ayanami Rei and Ikari Shinji who had just attended more than one class.Of course, the school can't continue classes now, the alarm has sounded, and the teachers are also organizing students to evacuate together.

"What's wrong with your face?" Katsuragi Misato couldn't help asking just after seeing Ikari Shinji who came to join him.It is true that Ikari Shinji's face is a little red now, as if he was punched by someone.

"I hit it." Ikari Shinji replied casually, rolling his eyes.

Obviously, what she said was not true, but Katsuragi Misato did not continue to inquire about the current situation. The apostles over there have come, but she still has to rush back to the headquarters to take command.Nothing to say, Ikari Shinji just got into the car, Katsuragi Misato stepped on the accelerator and drove towards the nearest entrance to the underground base.

"The apostle comes quite often." Linton couldn't help but said, yes, the apostle appeared a little earlier than he remembered, and he didn't know if it was his own. caused by the impact.

"Those things don't know where they came from, and we don't know when they will come, so we must be ready at any time." Katsuragi Misato is not surprised by this.

The nearest entrance to the base is not very far from the school, probably because of the emergency situation, and the drivers are all studying in this school, so the distance here is only a few minutes.Katsuragi Misato directly swiped the pass, and after the vehicle entered, it was directly connected to the conveyor belt to the NERV general base, and the people and the car were sent to the headquarters.

At this time, the first-level combat equipment has been issued, and the third new Tokyo city is full of sirens similar to air raids. The people who are skilled have already gone to the refuge, and the city has begun to deform.

The tall 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, the apostles gave them a lot of preparation time this time, and unlike last time, NERV was in charge of the command from the beginning, so it is naturally more effective. Last time, the League of Nations army was in charge. Resisted, and after the N2 mine explosion was invalid, the command was handed over to NERV.

When Katsuragi Misato and the others rushed to the command room, everyone else was already there. Indeed, this was originally working time, and most of the people were at the base. Only Katsuragi Misato was outside because of the transfer procedures.

"How's the situation?" Katsuragi Misato asked the staff in front of her very quickly after getting into work.

"The image of the apostle has been captured and displayed on the big screen." The person in front replied.

Sure enough, a new picture appeared on the big screen soon. It was a huge red sea, and a huge thing like a floating whale was moving forward. If you look carefully, the apostle's long and It looks a bit like a shrimp, with two large pincers in front and a bunch of gastropod-like limbs on its stomach.

"The current position is above the Pacific Ocean, the coordinates are 00X1.42C3, and it is estimated to arrive at the sky above the Third New Tokyo City in 31 minutes." The staff here reported.

"This thing..." Katsuragi Misato's first feeling when she saw the apostle was still fear, the fear of human beings towards unknown monsters.This thing is really long and quite penetrating.

"It exudes the breath of a weak person." However, the second half of the sentence added by Linton next to him completely expressed the opposite meaning.

"Hey, don't make trouble at this time." Katsuragi Misato said.

"It does look like a Pippi shrimp." Linton said, "This kind of guy... I don't know how it tastes..."

"..."

"I'm not kidding. Last time I met a huge octopus monster. Although it didn't look very good, it tasted so good that I didn't even enjoy the dragon meat meal." Linton said, " With that kind of experience, I think this kind of long seafood may taste okay."

"Shinji-kun, go get ready." Katsuragi Misato decided to ignore Linton's nonsense for the time being, and said to Ikari Shinji next to her.

"It should be easy to handle if I make a move here," Linton said.

Katsuragi Misato still didn't answer, because of course she also contacted Commander Ikari just now, the response plan of the apostle this time, and the answer she got was to let Ikari Shinji be mainly responsible for fighting the apostle.

Linton may not be joking. Not only Misato Katsuragi, but also Ikogendo know this. He should really be able to deal with the apostle this time.However, letting Ikari Shinji come is their final decision.

There are two reasons. One is that Ikyuantang doesn't believe in Linton at all. At present, they still don't know what the purpose of this guy is, and they haven't found any background about Linton at all.This kind of person who appeared out of nowhere is naturally completely uncontrollable. Compared with the EVA that is completely in his hands, of course he prioritizes the power in his hands.You asked Linton to take action. If he had malicious intentions, even if he didn’t, he helped beat up a few apostles and then patted his ass and left. So let Shinji Ikari try first, and if he can solve it, he can be regarded as military 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 just to deal with the current situation, if it wasn’t for NERV to fight the apostles, would there still be a need for this organization to exist?Ikori Hall needs NERV to show its importance so as to facilitate its future plans, so even if Linton offers to help, they must take the initiative.

You must know that NERV is not an independent organization, and behind it is SEELE.In fact, SEELE had already questioned Ikogendo after the previous battle, so this time Ikogendo specifically ordered Katsuragi Misato to let the first machine attack first.

In fact, SEELE didn't have such a strong idea that they wanted to find Linton, and the reason was the same. They didn't know Linton's details, nor did they know his purpose.Compared with Linton, the NERV in their hands is obviously more useful, and it is their own power.It's just that they didn't think about whether Dingyuantang had any ideas of their own.

Fortunately, the performance of the first unit was pretty good. Although it was subdued by Linton in the end, it still had an obvious advantage when facing the apostles. At present, they still see Plan E very much.As for Linton, before the other party's investigation came out, they didn't even have the idea of ​​talking to Linton.

However, neither Ikari Gendo nor SEELE considered the situation of Ikari Shinji here. After all, in their view, Ikari Shinji is just a tool driver.But in fact, Ikari Shinji's heart is in a mess now. What a mess happened in the first two days. He originally came to find his father, but he just met him from a distance. He went to drive a strange robot to fight against the enemy, and he was pulled into the cab again in the chaos.

According to the original plan, the EVA dispatch this time should be at least a little more relaxed than last time. The last time the enemy was on top of their heads, they were dispatched urgently. This time, Katsuragi Misato is going to let the EVA dispatch ahead of time. Prepare first and wait for the enemy Attack suddenly after approaching, a scheme similar to an ambush.

However, what I didn't expect was that the original preparation turned into a toddler course for Ikari Shinji. It took 5 minutes for Ikari Shinji to learn how to use EVA to walk. As for operating firearms, he still hasn't figured out how What happened, the apostle over there has already been killed.

Yes, at this time they could already see the apostles from a distance at sea, and Shinji Ikari, who received the order, immediately hid behind the raised partition in the city, holding the Get started with the rifle.

"Wait for the opponent to approach, aim at the weak point in the middle of the opponent, and pull the trigger, can it be done?" Katsuragi Misato said to Ikari Shinji.

"Aim, shoot...aim, shoot..." Ikari Shinji repeated several times like self-hypnosis, "Yes, Miss Katsuragi."

Although I know that Ikari Shinji's situation must be very chaotic, Katsuragi Misato has nothing to do, she only has this card in her hand.Yes, originally she came back with Rei Ayanami, and thought that this time she might be able to make machine zero fight, but the problem was that it couldn't.Although the driver has recovered from his injuries, the No. [-] machine is still not healed. The last test was because the No. [-] machine suddenly lost control and caused Rei Ayanami to be injured. Now the No. [-] machine has not been repaired, and on the other hand, it has not been unsealed, and there is no anchor. According to the command of the commander, Unit Zero is temporarily unable to attack.

Although Rei Ayanami is also on standby here, she is still on standby on the ground, not even in the posture compartment.Seeing this meaning, Katsuragi Misato also knew that Commander Ikari probably wanted Unit [-] to deal with the enemy alone.

"Here we come." Just as he was thinking, the apostle here was already approaching the city. This time it was an apostle who could fly, and he entered the city much faster than the one who walked over before.

"Get ready..." Katsuragi Misato watched the apostles approaching all the way, and sure enough, the target was directly above their base, and of course the No. [-] machine was also ambushing there, "Do it!"

Shinji Ikari's reaction was fairly quick. He appeared directly from the bunker and swept at the apostle. However, the shooting accuracy was obviously not very good. A lot of smoke was shot, but not many bullets hit the core.

The apostle here was very calm. His two paws suddenly drooped, and then two red ribbon-like things suddenly protruded from the top of the paws, and he waved forward like a convulsion.

The red ribbon directly penetrated a large number of buildings in front of it, as well as the baffle in front of the No. [-] machine as a cover, and the rifle in the No. [-] machine's hand was cut off in the next second.Seeing that it was about to come towards him, Ikari Shinji rolled the No. [-] machine to dodge suddenly, but he really dodged, but at this time the cable connected to the No. [-] machine was cut off directly.

Immediately, the red lights in the cockpit and command center of No. 5 aircraft were lit, and a [-]-minute countdown timer began to count down automatically.

"The external cable was cut off, and the internal power supply was still active for 4 minutes and 55 seconds!" The staff immediately shouted.
