Chapter 729 Apostle

Tao Yu was sitting in Misato Katsuragi's car and had just rushed into the exclusive freight elevator to the underground when the metal door behind him began to lower.

The whole city seemed to have shaken.

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 made people who had experienced many evacuation trainings have a conditioned reflex.

At this time, Tao Yu and Misato had already started the road to the underground city.

Compared to the daytime, it seemed that there were only two of them here.

Tao Yu looked sideways and saw that the combat module under the 24-story steel plate had begun some subtle adjustments to facilitate the ascent, while the civilian buildings above had also begun to slide down as a whole, and the two sides were intertwined.

"What happened?"

Although he had already made a prediction, Tao Yu still asked in a deep voice.

"The apostles are coming."

Misato Katsuragi gave a brief answer.

Although she didn't know what NERV's ultimate goal was, stopping the apostles was also her lifelong wish.

"Apostle..."

"According to the Dead Sea Scrolls..., forget it, there's no time to talk so much, follow me."

As the elevator arrived, Misato Katsuragi quickly took Tao Yu to the headquarters.

"Uh, just take me to the headquarters?"

Tao Yu asked tentatively beside Misato Katsuragi.

Shouldn't you take me to get familiar with EVA directly?

I just passed the initial screening, and I haven't touched the machine yet, and I haven't had any training. Is this appropriate...

Shinji Ikari did appear to be in a hurry, but it was really urgent. Now it would be better to have more time, right?

"Otherwise? Let you understand what happened first."

Misato Katsuragi's words made Tao Yu quickly react. By the way, NERV may not have been authorized to use EVA yet.

If the Angel of Water appeared in advance, it would indeed fight with the UN army first, and even use N2 mines.

Misato relied on the authority to get through unimpeded along the way, and then brought Tao Yu to the command room.

The atmosphere in the command room was very depressing. There was a tactical three-dimensional map of the vicinity of the Third New Tokyo in front of it, and there were many large screens in front of it forming a live picture.

It was some shooting equipment connected to the scene in real time.

However, the one in power at the scene was not Ikari Gendō, but three senior officials wearing UN military uniforms, who were sitting in the highest position at this time.

Ikari Gendō, who had a very obvious painting style, also stood beside them, as if ready to make some explanations at any time.

Tao Yu looked at Ikari Gendō and didn't know how to evaluate him.

Let's say he was a scumbag, all his plans were to see Ikari Yui again, he only pursued this result, and it didn't matter what the process was.

Let's say he was pure love, he played with the feelings of Naoko Akagi and Ritsuko Akagi, mother and daughter.

As a father, he was also a failure, a very contradictory person.

But it is undeniable that he did achieve his goal at all costs, and his ability was also very strong.

Either the Chosen One or the Lucky Thief.

The command room was already busy at this time. From the surveillance screen, it can be seen that the surface buildings of the Third New Tokyo, which were originally peaceful, have undergone a big change.

All the civilian buildings sank, and various artillery positions, rocket launchers, and missile silos began to appear.

On the outer coastal highway, tanks and self-propelled artillery appeared from nowhere, and some train guns also appeared on the tracks of the rail cars.

The sky was densely packed with armed helicopters, and the live broadcast camera kept switching from multiple angles.

The firepower of this armed force has exceeded the density of normal war.

In modern normal firepower, it is difficult to fully exert the maximum effect when it is concentrated together, but now these armed forces are indeed so dense.

It seems that they want to increase the density of firepower within the unit range.

And soon, the enemy's figure has also emerged, and the red ocean in front suddenly bulges, like the scene of the Pacific Rim monster.

A giant human figure walked out of the sea.

The bright red seawater slid down its shell, looking like blood, which was quite disgusting.

Nearly 100 meters tall, surpassing the tailed beast!

In terms of image, it is undoubtedly a water angel.

That abstract face made people feel disgusted when they saw it, as if it was born to be the enemy of mankind.

"Apostles are in a competitive relationship with each other, and they all want to complete the collision first."

Tao Yu could roughly understand the reason, but at this time he still said in a curious tone

"Is this the apostle? The apostle who will destroy mankind in the prophecy?"

"Yes, so the purpose of our existence is to stop them, and you are also an important part of it."

A gray-haired old man came to Tao Yu, it was Dongyue Gengzao.

"Me? Just because of yesterday's test? But there was nothing to let me continue the test afterwards."

"I know your village is special, but it doesn't matter. You have always taken completing the task as your responsibility, and now, we want to hire you to kill the apostle."

Originally, Dongyue Gengzao thought that he could observe it more, and it was just a spare tire.

But the sudden advance attack of the water angel immediately disrupted all the plans.

The second qualified person is in Europe, the third qualified person is still on the way, and Ayanami is still seriously injured because of the accident in the last test.

Suddenly, the original spare tire has become the only option now.

This is indeed quite different from the original plan.

Because of this, Fuyutsuki Kozo directly represents NERV to show his cards.

First, show that we already know your secret, and then issue an invitation for employment.

Even the conditions are said to be free to ask.

"Free? Any request is fine?"

"Any!"

"Okay, then I will keep my request first, and you can tell me what you want me to do first."

Tao Yu also prefers to win people over with virtue. If he can avoid using force, it is actually good to be friendly.

Now that there is no Chosen One to snatch the monster, he can take the benefits of the apostle alone, and he can also make requests to NERV later. This is simply perfect.

The requirements are not too many, Lilith, the Spear of Longinus, and even the possible Adam embryo, all taken away.

No matter what he does, eat them all first.

"Okay, I didn't expect you to be so aware. Now take a good look at the battle situation and learn more about the abilities of the apostles."

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 been authorized yet, but it doesn't matter. It doesn't require driving skills. The connection mode of neurons will make you control your own body. As long as the synchronization rate is fine, you will get started quickly."

Dongyue was also a little embarrassed at this time.

Now it is the UN army that is resisting the apostles, and NERV has not yet obtained approval for the use of EVA.

But it will be soon!

These weapons alone cannot threaten the apostles.

Dongyue and Ikari Gendō are both convinced of this!

At this time, the big screen in front of the screen kept switching, and you can see that the giant who walked out of the sea just flashed his eyes casually, and the compressed AT force field blasted a cross beam from a long distance, instantly erasing all the defense facilities in that area!

All the armor and fortifications were like paper in front of this blow!

Even the NERV headquarters underground could vaguely feel the vibration.

With a flick of his hand, the flexible and slender arm easily shot down the helicopter in the sky.

With the appearance of an angel halo above its head, the AT force field pushed it up, as if it wanted to break away from the sea and float directly towards the direction of the Third New Tokyo.

The continuous bombardment on the diamond-shaped light wall of the AT force field could only produce ripples on the surface, and could not even deform the force field.

Rockets, missiles, and all kinds of conventional weapons were poured on the apostles, but they were all stopped by the AT force field.

It could only be seen from a distance like fireworks exploding...
