Chapter 538 Protagonist and Protagonist
Anyway, there is only one person, so if we start the work quickly, we can finish it quickly.
The sealed box of Unit-01 is infested with Angels. Asuka's Unit-02 is approaching at high speed, destroying the Earth's defense satellite, and finally collides with the cross seal.
Makiwa is providing sniper support from a distance, but her Unit-08 has already entered the landing orbit and cannot catch up with Unit-02.
Duran can clearly see the scene happening in the satellite orbit by looking up, and the corner of his mouth curls up. The seawater under his feet is pushed away, and the whole person flies into the sky.
Misato, who was directing the operation at this time, had her eyelids twitched, and then she heard the CIC shouting, "There is an object on the ground telling us to approach the target, and the blood analysis is red."
At this time, Asuka has been surrounded by the Angel's tentacles, and she calls out to Shinji Ikari loudly, "Stupid Shinji——"
Unit-01's eyes glow red, and finally wake up at Asuka's call, and quickly launches an attack on the Angel. But now Unit-02's orbit has changed. Unit-02, which enters the atmosphere without power at this angle, must disintegrate.
Duran finally arrived, but Unit-02 had no power, the cockpit was pitch black, and Asuka could not see anything.
Duran stood on the box containing Unit-01, "This thing is mine." He said as he protected the two machines into the atmosphere and turned into meteors.
The Angel had been torn apart by Unit-01's previous round of attacks, and the fragments also entered the atmosphere and were burned to ashes by the high temperature.
"What on earth is that?" Unit-01 and Unit-02 were already captured on the big screen in the ground command room. But they saw a man standing on the black cross box.
Misato and Ritsuko didn't know what that person was, could it be an Angel?
"The blood analysis is red, which is the unidentified object before." Blood analysis is a spectral analysis of biological blood. The Angel is blue, and humans are reddish.
"Human?" Misato herself didn't know if what she said was nonsense. How could humans fly into outer space like this and come back from outer space?
"Misato." Ritsuko was still calm and reminded Misato to send someone to bring Unit-01 and Unit-02 back.
Misato came back to his senses, "The first fleet will go to the landing point, recover Unit-02, and capture Unit-01. Bring that man back as well." As he spoke, his brows were furrowed under his sunglasses, and he silently prayed that he must stop the fourth impact.
The earth has experienced three impacts. The first was the flood in Noah's Ark, the second was the Antarctic explosion in 2000, and the third was the large-scale destruction caused by Shinji Ikari's full awakening of Unit-01 in order to save Rei Ayanami 14 years ago. Each impact is an unprecedented extinction of mankind.
And for the fourth impact, Shinji Ikari is an important key.
On the red ocean, the fleet of the WILLE organization reached the landing point in the Pacific Ocean at the fastest speed and surrounded Duran.
WILLE is an organization established to fight against NERV (neuron) that implements the human completion plan, and the person in charge is Misato Kusanagi.
Duran ignored the black muzzles and directly pulled Shinji Ikari, who had been sleeping for 14 years, out of Unit-01, "Not dead yet."
"Let go of your hand, or I'll shoot!" A clear and bright female voice sounded, and Asuka, who walked out of Unit-02, pointed a pistol at Duran.
"I'm saving him." Duran said with the Senzu beans in his hand, and at the same time, he quickly stuffed the beans into the boy's mouth.
"What are you doing?" Asuka asked nervously about Shinji Ikari's safety.
Duran stopped talking, put the boy down, stood up and looked at the battleships around him. He knew that Unit-01 was an important source of power for them.
WUNDER (miracle), which claims to have the power to kill gods, needs the core of Unit-01 to start. This spaceship is the biggest reliance of the WILLER organization. So Unit-01 must be obtained.
Duran looked at the aggressive warships and turned to Asuka and said, "Leave this boy to me, and you can take Unit-01."
"..." Asuka didn't know what Duran was thinking.
"Since you have agreed, then our deal is done." Asuka was surprised to see that the appearance of Duran and Shinji Ikari gradually faded as if they were about to disappear, and then she heard the mysterious man say, "It's not the weapon that's important, but the hand that can press the trigger. When you understand this, you can go further. I'll take the boy away, goodbye."
"Disappeared?" Asuka put down the pistol and looked for the place where Duran stood, but there was nothing. What happened? Others also saw this scene on the screen, and there was silence in the war room for a while.
Duran's last sentence made Misato very concerned, "Find that person immediately, and make sure to find the pilot of Unit-01."
At this time, Duran and Shinji Ikari were sitting in a dilapidated restaurant, and there was only one table that could still accommodate people.
The boy had woken up, but he didn't recognize the person opposite him at all, and didn't know where he was. So he was so nervous that he didn't know where to put his eyes.
"Don't be nervous. There are only two of us left in this world. As human beings, we should get along well." Duran lied as soon as he opened his mouth, and gave them a doomsday background.
In fact, Ikari Shinji didn't care about the end of the world. What he cared about was "Mr. Du, did you find other people when you found me?"
"No, you are the only one in the cockpit. The person with you must also be dead." Duran pretended to be very regretful on the surface.
"It's impossible. Ling Boli won't die. I have rescued her." Shinji Ikari was even more excited than hearing that he was in the apocalypse. "Ling Boli will be fine."
Duran was noncommittal, "Relax, we are the last two people in the world. If possible, I also hope there will be a third person."
Dulan repeatedly mentioned the end of the world, and Shinji Ikari finally spoke, "Excuse me, what happened? Where is the Third New Tokyo City? Where are the Neurons? And where are the Apostles?"
Duran picked up the old porcelain cup in front of the table. It was not coffee, just boiling water. But his acting skills were very good, and he drank water as if he was missing coffee. "The ruins we are in are the Third New Tokyo City. That happened fourteen years ago. Everything happened too fast. To be specific, I don't know what happened. When I woke up, I found that everything was quiet, and then everyone around me disappeared." Du Lan said leisurely, not much sadness, only melancholy, "I have been gone for more than ten years. I searched all over Japan but still couldn't find anyone. I even went out to the mainland, but all the radio calls were silent. Finally, I was sure that I was really the only one in the world." Duran did it again
There was a pause and the tone became cheerful, "But now there are two of us."
"Mr. Du." Although Shinji Ikari still doesn't understand his situation, Du Lan's story is so tragic. If he had lived alone for more than ten years, he might have gone crazy.
Dulan smiled, but even the innocent boy could see the bitterness in his smile. "As for the neuron, there is no one there anymore. There is only a huge hole there now and there is nothing left. I will take it with you later." Come and take a look. Do you have any relatives working there?"
Shinji Ikari thought of his strict father, but in the end he remained silent.
After just drinking some water and eating some very unpleasant food that Dulan gave him, they left the store.
The destroyed buildings outside were swaying here and there, leaving traces of corrosion over time. It really felt like the end of the world when Shinji Ikari walked in it.
In fact, outside of this city, other places are still very lively, but Du Lan's acting skills are so good that he made the naive guy Shinji Ikari believe that they were really in the end of the world. Didn't he save Ling Boli?
Be sure to go to Neuron to make sure.
It was quiet, not even a bird was seen, but the green saplings stubbornly emerged from the rusty ruins, bringing life to the dead silence.
Finally they came to a huge bottomless pit, and Duran told Shinji Ikari that this was the original headquarters of Neuron, and that he found Shinji Ikari inside.
At this time, Shinji Ikari had already collapsed, because the closer he got to here, there were more and more corpses, all kinds of horrific corpses, all of which died in the third impact fourteen years ago. It was very scary. Even though Dulan had confessed, the death was beyond the boy's ability to bear.
The stench has not dissipated after fourteen years, so Duran prepared gas masks for the two of them.
"Don't think too much, I told you that there are only two of us in this world." Dulan said and began to grope among the corpses and found a sewer entrance. "You can go down from here, do you want to go down? "
Go, as long as you have Ling Boli in your heart, you will go through mountains of swords and seas of fire. For teenagers like Shinji Ikari, the person of the opposite sex who makes their heart beat is their belief and an existence worth all their efforts.
Duran lit up a handmade old oil lamp, and the various details he processed made him worthy of the title of film master, all in order to make Shinji Ikari believe that he was in the end of the world. I wonder if Shinji Ikari will curse after knowing the truth about this prank?
