"What happened?!"

Unit 4 made a huge buzz.

A red beam of light suddenly shot into the sky from the No. 4 fuselage, and a huge buzz made the entire command room tremble, as if an earthquake had occurred.

This sudden change shocked both Ritsuko Akagi and Misato Katsuragi.

"Is he an apostle?!" Misato Katsuragi immediately asked Ritsuko Akagi.

"Apostles did appear, but the situation in front of us..." Ritsuko Akagi looked at the information on the big screen, and her face suddenly changed: "Is it the No. 4 machine that is devouring the apostles?!"

"Unit No. 4 is devouring the apostles?!"

Misato Katsuragi also looked at the situation above, but unfortunately, she didn't recognize almost anything on it.

"The operating mechanism of Unit 4 is somewhat different from other EVAs. There are many structures in it that I don't know, and this is obviously one of them. Although I didn't understand it before, after the Apostle appeared, I knew...

…They want to capture the apostles.”

Ritsuko Akagi suddenly said this.

"Could it be that North America already knew that the Apostles would be infected with Unit 4?" Misato Katsuragi asked immediately.

"Probably." Ritsuko Akagi nodded.

But this incredible thing surprised Katsuragi Misato even more.

After all, this statement is really amazing.

"What should we do next? Is there any way to help Unit 4 annihilate the apostles?" At this time, Misato Katsuragi wanted to rescue Catherine. But she didn't know what to do.

"Report the situation to the headquarters first. The appearance of the apostle is not a trivial matter."

…

It didn't take long for the news to reach Commander Ikari.

"I really didn't expect that the apostles actually invaded Unit 4. This is really unexpected. What's more, what's even more unexpected is that Unit 4 seems to have expected this kind of thing." Dongyue sighed with emotion.

"I'm afraid the Americans have obtained an apocrypha that neither we nor SEELE know about. But they probably don't know much about it," Commander Ikari thought.

"If this American device works, this ninth apostle seems to be easier to eliminate." Dongyue probably thought that it would be a good thing if this apostle could be eliminated.

However, a smile appeared on Commander Ikari's lips: "No. This is a good opportunity."

"Good opportunity? Could it be——" Dongyue seemed to have thought of something.

"Ah, that's right. Unit 4 is equipped with a man-made S2 mechanism. This mechanism is beyond our control. Compared with an apostle, this is the most important thing. Unit 4 has the opportunity to affect the supply of Unit 1.

over."

In Commander Ikari's plan, the No. 4 machine is simply redundant.

In other words, Unit 4 is equipped with the S2 mechanism and is an obstacle in the way of Unit 1.

This thing...this thing shouldn't exist at all!

"Are you going to freeze Unit 4 together?" Dongyue asked again.

"That's right, Unit 4, together with the pilot, has entered a frozen state. Seal it completely." The appearance of the apostle was the perfect excuse.

"But how do SEELE explain it? The previous losses of Unit 3 and Unit 5 have already made them feel that there are some changes in their plans. Now if there is another problem with Unit 4, is there really no problem?" Dongyue

This very practical question came to mind.

"... it will not affect our plan."

Commander's answer so.

Nympho

"What about the erosive apostle ..."

At this moment, Catherine, who is sitting on the driver's seat, looks like a good look.

In fact, Catherine is examining the possibility of pure technology against the apostles.

It is not through Catherine's own ability. It is carried out by other means like the present.

It's as if it is now.

Catherine was watching the next situation.

As far as is now, everything goes well.

Although there is no way to reproduce the Clainel field in this world. However, through the assistance of special electronic computers, it is not very difficult to capture the apostles.

"In just three minutes, the apostle's attack has slowed down ..."

Catherine can feel that the apostle suddenly stagnated at this time. At this time, it has stalled completely.

If such someone observes the No. 4 machine outside, you will find the No. 4 machine that moves in the previous minute. At this moment, it has stopped completely.

It's as if it was in a dead silence.

But at this time, the temperature of the fourth machine has exceeded 60 degrees, and this temperature is still rising. This strange and strange change is precisely because of the apostle and the fourth machine.

Fight.

"Speaking of the current No. 4 machine, there are two S2 agencies ..."

Catherine suddenly thought that if all the two S2 agencies got on the anger, would there be something that bombed the sky?

"Trinity" or something, it sounds like it sounds.

"Well, it seems that it is difficult to confront the apostle by relying on the technology of this world." Catherine noticed that after discovering that he had entered a stalemate, the apostles began to invade the surrounding machines.

Catherine's expression at this moment is really easy, but her body is not so.

After synchronizing with EVA, Catherine clearly felt that there was a strange pain in her body. Not only was it painful, but even purple and Hong could not say pain, but they could really use the word "uncomfortable".

Come to describe the horrible feeling.

This is all the feelings of Catherine now.

Just after weakening this feeling, Catherine's performance at this time was a lot easier.

"I don't know what kind of tricks below, Mr. Ninth Apostle."

Because of synchronization with EVA, although I feel pain. However, Catherine seems to be able to feel a kind of emotion.

She doesn't know if this emotion is conveyed by this apostle, and she doesn't know if this emotion is the apostle. But Catherine can feel a feeling of "fear".

The fourth machine is different from the first machine. This feeling cannot be owned by the four machines of the technology of another world, so only the apostles, or other existences. But in terms of possibilities, the apostle is

The biggest.

"If it feels feasible, it is not impossible to capture the apostles through artificial means."

In terms of tactics, the No. 4 machine first considers the imperial apostle. Therefore, special optimization was made. In terms of the erosion of the apostle, the No. 4 machine has an unparalleled advantage.

In other words...the prophetic advantage.

In the original plot, the miserable No. 3 and No. 4 units were once tricked by the apostles. At that time, the No. 4 unit was not completed enough, so it could be modified. But the No. 3 unit was too late.

, so the animal transformation mode was installed.

However, Catherine probably doesn't know that Ikari Gento has his own plan now, and she doesn't even know that her No. 4 unit may soon be in tragedy.

…

"Freeze Unit 4...?"

After hearing the order from the headquarters, Katsuragi Misato was also surprised.

Although she can accept this order intellectually, it is still difficult for her to accept it emotionally.

Is it really possible to freeze Unit 4 and the pilot together?

"how so?"

"There is nothing that can be done about it. Even if Unit 4 can defeat the Apostles, I am afraid that Unit 4 itself will be used as a research sample. The pilot inside has such close contact with the Apostles and may even be contaminated.

, it will be valuable for research by then. Commander Ikari probably has this idea."

Ritsuko Akagi said this.

"...the value of research..."

Indeed, this is of great research value from various perspectives.

"But Catherine has to be locked up too, which is a bit too..."

Misato Katsuragi couldn't bear it anymore.

"Let's continue negotiating this matter later. Given the current situation, it would be better to at least help Unit 4 kill the apostle first."

…

"What, Unit 4?!"

On the other side, Shinji and others who were visiting Lake Ashi also received the news.

"How could this happen? What happened?"

Shinji Ikari couldn't help but ask.

But on the phone, I couldn't get any useful information.

"I'm sorry, but it looks like we're on vacation and that's all we can do here."

Blessing also frowned.

If there is a problem with Unit 4, the things Kaji is worried about will most likely occur. At that time, it will really become a headache.

"Commander Ikari, I'm afraid he hopes that there will be some problems with Unit 4, right?"

Although he has learned that Unit 4 has a device to fight against the apostles, Kaji is not that concerned about this matter. If it is that young lady, this level is nothing.

However, the appearance of the apostle still made Kaji feel worried.

The existence of Catherine is definitely against Commander Ikari's script and plan. If he wants to do something with the help of this matter, it will be a matter of course.

But Kaji suddenly thought of that black shadow.

In this world, it is true that the number one enemy of mankind is the apostles, but the enemies of mankind are not just apostles.

The only person who knows about these mysterious viruses is Catherine. But if something goes wrong with her at this time, the consequences will be disastrous.

"You three, sit still."

Kaji took Shinji, Asuka and Ayanami Rei into the car, and then sped towards NERV's headquarters.

"Why, why was Chance No. 4 invaded by the apostles? How is Catherine Sang?"

Shinji looked very worried now.

"It's useless for you to worry now. You might as well recharge your batteries, you idiot Shinji."

Although Asuka said so, he looked out of the window, that is, the position of the pine test field.

"As far as I know, the No. 4 machine has just been built, and it has been transported from the United States. Unlike the No. 3 machine. The fourth machine has not been launched. And the most important thing is that the construction of the No. 4 machine and the general ones

EVA is still completely different. Maybe the apostles may be grasping this gap. "

Although he said in his mouth, he was still worried that the problem that might occur next.

An ominous premonition makes the blessing very worried now.

"Huh? Call of the Epidemic Prevention Bureau?"

Blessing looked at the three people in the back seat of the car, and then connected the phone.

"Mr. Blessing! It's not good, we have just discovered the existence of the owner of the mucus! It is likely to be a virus carrying body, a life form that we never discovered before!"

"Nani?!"

The blessing sound made the three people in the back seat concentrated.

"Specific situation, tell me!" The blessing shouted immediately.

"Hi. In those mucus. We have extracted some cell tissue ingredients and DNA, and then videos based on witnesses and monitoring. We found that this thing is likely to be a strange creature that is much larger than human life. This

Specific creatures seem to be in a strange dormant state, but we are not sure how long this creature will lurk. The current situation may be a bit bad, although we have traces of this life body.

body."

"... What consequences will there be if you let this thing walk outside?" Blessing asked again.

"After a certain concentration, this kind of virus will start infection with creatures. And the virus in these green mucus seems to be a bit different from the previous.

Infected people will lose their rational and IQ within eight hours. It becomes a kind of life like a walking dead. Honda, who was responsible for collecting yesterday, was injured because of her body, and then accidentally invaded the virus.

And the virus breeding speed is fast. We suspect that the virus is likely to spread with the sewer. It is likely to endanger the second New Tokyo city. Now we are considering whether to do martial law. "

"Why don't such an important thing tell me early?!"

Fortunately, the blessing has been tested by their own car. Now the blessing is used by the car borrowed from Miri.

"Sorry, because we haven't confirmed at the time ... but now we find that things are likely to surpass our control. Although such new viruses are easily died in the air, they can breed a lot in a dark place.

It is the hotbed of the virus. We have found some mice that have become a walking body by the virus. These mice are the same as the infected people, and they will eat other life forms. "

"Is there a photo of that creature?" Blessing asked again.

"Please wait, I will send it now."

It didn't take long for the blessing to receive a photo sent from the opposite side. He couldn't wait to open the photo immediately.

In the photo, there is a pink that looks like a human figure, but the body shows abnormal pink, and the body and limbs have very strange distorted life.

"What's this?"

Behind Kaji, Shinji and Asuka's heads were close together, and they obviously saw this photo.

"Sorry, it seems I have some urgent matters on the other side...but I will send you to NERV. Remember, you must rescue the pilot of Unit 4 at all costs, understand?"

Hearing Kaji's words, Shinji Ikari was a little surprised: "As for Catherine-san, we will definitely try our best to rescue her."

"It's not about trying your best! It's about determination! Otherwise, what will destroy us is likely to be something else."

"..."

Kaji speeded up the car again, and soon he sent the three of them to the gate of NERV, and then Kaji hurriedly drove away.

"Idiot Shinji, favored ones, you...have you all heard the content on the phone just now?" When walking down the stairs, the atmosphere fell into a strange silence.

"..."

Shinji didn't answer, but his expression said it all.

"It has nothing to do with the apostles, and it has nothing to do with us. The AT force field can deal with ordinary viruses." Ayanami Rei answered.

"A normal virus?" Shinji thought of Kaji's expression and tone at that moment.

If it is really a common virus...that would be fine.

"Is Shinji worried about this virus?" Ayanami Rei asked.

"Because what Mr. Kaji said at that time was 'at all costs'..." Shikinami Asuka had no feelings for Kaji, so she noticed this detail just now.

"It's not about trying your best, but about being determined?" Ayanami Rei tilted her head.

For her, things in the outside world are not as easy to understand as the apostles.

"The person on the phone said that this virus seems to be very contagious. And the people who were infected seem to have undergone very strange changes. And you all saw the appearance of the monster in the photo." Shinji asked.

.

"Could it be a different kind of apostle?" Asuka also expressed her hypothesis.

"Impossible. If the apostle appears in Second New Tokyo, he will definitely be discovered." Ayanami Rei answered.

"Tsk, Unit 4 was infected by the apostles, didn't they just discover it just now?" Asuka said dissatisfied.

"...But, that one is definitely not an apostle." Ayanami Rei said again.

"Okay, we're here. Now let's find a way to rescue Catherine Sang. She should know something."

Shinji came out to smooth things over for his Crystal Palace.

…

"..."

On the other hand, Blessing did not enter the Epidemic Prevention Bureau in the end.

Because this place has been isolated at this time.

According to the police: "There is not a single creature inside, they are all a group of monsters that cannot be killed!"

According to witnesses and onlookers, "those are all a group of living dead."

"It seems that the trouble is getting bigger..."

For some reason, looking at the blocked epidemic prevention bureau and the gunshots and screams of the raiding troops from time to time, a very uneasy feeling hovered in Kaji's heart.

…

Another day of moral integrity.
