Although Shinji Ikari has a ruthless heart, the objective conditions are... he can't win.

That's right, facing the fifth apostle who is both offensive and defensive, with superior strength, Unit 0 and Unit 1 are like mice trying to pull a turtle. They can't get close to each other. If they get close, they will be hit by a ray, and they can't open it from a distance.

Its defense. In the end, after struggling for a long time, Katsuragi Misato, seeing that there was nothing she could do, could only give the order to retreat temporarily. After all, there was no point in wasting time like this.

After repelling EVA, the fifth apostle opened a drill and began to happily crawl into someone's basement. This made everyone extremely angry, but they had no choice but to watch helplessly.

Drilling holes in the ceiling of my home...

What follows is no different from the anime plot. The ruthless Katsuragi Misato also thought of borrowing a secret weapon, the positron cannon, and firing it from a distance to directly kill the bastard. Because Shinji Ikari had been trained by Fangzheng before,

He was not beaten by the fifth apostle's sneak attack, so naturally he no longer struggled with whether he really wanted to continue fighting, but was gearing up and waiting for revenge...

Hmm? Why does this style of painting feel a little wrong?

Forget it, this is better. Compared to the autistic boy Shinji Ikari, isn’t the iron-blooded boy Shinji Ikari more interesting? The skinny handsome boy has long been outdated. A real man must develop eight-pack abs and then face the apostle.

!

Next, Fangzheng naturally took Rei Ayanami and Shinji Ikari to eat, drink, and train, and then waited for Misato Katsuragi to finish modifying the positron cannon.

"Okay, that's all the contents of Yashima's battle plan. You should all know it well."

Fang Zheng folded up the combat report in his hand and looked at Rei Ayanami and Shinji Ikari in front of him, and the two of them nodded. After all, the battle on Yashima was too simple. It was Shinji Ikari controlling the No. 1 unit to control the positron cannon against the fifth unit.

The apostles carried out long-distance sniping, while Unit Zero stood by with a shield. If the fifth apostle counterattacked, Unit Zero would have to protect Unit One...

Of course, the biggest problem with the entire plan is that to penetrate the fifth apostle's AT position, it requires the power of the entire Japan. There is no need for frontline personnel to worry about this kind of logistical support.

But...

"Shinji, you look very calm."

Looking at Shinji Ikari, whose expression remained unchanged, Fang Zheng chuckled and couldn't help but want to make a joke.

"Hey? Mr. Fangzheng, did I do something wrong?"

Facing Fang Zheng's words, Shinji Ikari, who had been calm just now, couldn't help but be stunned, wondering what he had done wrong.

"Huh? Aren't you worried at all? What if the first shot doesn't hit?"

Fang Zheng still remembers that in the animation, Shinji Ikari was almost cooked by a blow from Thunder Angel without any defense, which also caused a serious psychological shadow. So much so that when planning the Yashima operation, he

I have been worrying about this and that, such as what to do if the first shot misses, what to do if it misses...

It was at that time that Ayanami Rei said to him, "I will protect you."

Is this the beginning of Ayanami Rei and Ikari Shinji’s relationship?

By the way, after taking over Shinji Ikari, Fang Zheng was also curious and wanted to observe if there would be any interaction between the two people. But unfortunately, he didn't see anything good. Thinking about it carefully, it's normal.

.After all, in the anime, Shinji Ikari doesn’t even have anyone he can rely on, and Misato Katsuragi is the chief of operations, so it’s impossible for him to be with him every day. Shinji Ikari will naturally instinctively seek closeness, and he is also a driver.

Member's Rei Ayanami.

But now it's different from the anime. Shinji Ikari has Fangzheng watching over him, and he has to go through hellish Spartan training every day. I'm afraid he doesn't even have the time to figure out which girl in YY's class is prettier, let alone Ayanami Rei.

What kind of special relationship is there? As for Ayanami Rei, she is not a person who likes to get close to others. I can only say that the two of them get along pretty well, but there is no spark between them.

Strictly speaking, after being interfered with by Fang Zheng, the two of them felt more like comrades-in-arms...

Upon hearing Fang Zheng's inquiry, Shinji Ikari was also stunned.

"Hey? If the first shot fails, wouldn't there be a second shot?"

"That's right, hahaha, that's it!"

Hearing Shinji Ikari's answer, Fang Zheng patted him on the shoulder with a smile. A man should act like a man. There is no point in looking forward and backward. If the first shot fails to penetrate, then try another shot. What's the problem?

Moreover, unlike the temporarily modified shield in the animation, this time because Fang Zheng and Ritsuko Akagi mentioned the issue of sword and shield combat equipment before, Nerv had actually developed a shield with values ​​very close to the requirements long before the arrival of the fifth apostle.

Sword and shield equipment, so there is no need to temporarily find a space shuttle chassis to recharge like the original game.

According to calculations, the brand new shield will definitely be able to withstand a full-force shot from the fifth apostle.

Of course, just in case, Fang Zheng also made some small tricks.

"Then, Rei, Shinji, I leave it to you!"

"yes!"

The night is already dark.

Soon, as time passed by, the originally brightly lit Third New Tokyo City fell into darkness. Not only Third New Tokyo City, this darkness began to spread rapidly, and it didn't take long to cover it.

All of Japan......

"It's really dark."

Standing on the boarding platform, Shinji couldn't help clenching his fists, feeling a little uneasy. Although he had gone through the Founder's Spartan training, Shinji was still an autistic kid at heart... Of course, he was not that easy to change.

Thinking of this, Shinji couldn't help but look at Ayanami Rei on the other side.

"Ayanami..."

"What's up?"

"Why are you driving an EVA?"

Shinji Ikari knew that he was forced to board EVA because of his father's order, so what about Ayanami Rei?

"...Because apart from that, I have nothing."

"Nothing?"

Facing Ayanami Rei's answer, Shinji Ikari couldn't help but be stunned.

At this moment, Fang Zheng's voice came from the side.

"You don't know what you should do...well, that's normal. In fact, it's not something you should consider at your age."

"Mr. Founder!"

Seeing Fang Zheng appear, Shinji Ikari and Rei Ayanami stood up in a hurry, and Fang Zheng also said hello with a smile.

"Yo."

"Um...Mr. Fangzheng, what do you mean by what you just said?"

Looking at Fang Zheng, Shinji Ikari also raised his inner doubts.

"It's very simple. You understand what Rei Ayanami means, because besides driving the EVA, she doesn't know what she can do."

"Ah...well..."

"But this is normal."

"Yeah?"

"yes."

Looking at Ayanami Rei and Ikari Shinji in front of him, Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders.

"You are just children. If you use animal metaphors, you are just chicks and cubs. Have you seen the animal world? The mother animals in it will teach their children how to hunt, obtain food, live in this world, and then wait for them.

Kick them away when you reach adulthood. The same goes for humans. Not everyone is born knowing what they want to do in the future. That’s why you need to learn, learn all kinds of knowledge, experience, and master skills and abilities, and then you can decide for yourself

of the future.”

Having said this, Fang Zheng stretched out his hand, knocked Ayanami Rei on the head, and looked at Shinji Ikari with a smile.

"So don't think it's so serious as Li said. In fact, it's a problem that children of this age will have. Let me ask you, besides studying, is there anything else you can do?"

"ah……………"

Hearing this, Shinji Ikari was stunned and speechless.

"Look, right. You can't do the work of adults because you haven't accumulated enough experience and haven't learned to be familiar with and use the tools in your hands. That's why you need to study in school... I don't want you to fall in love with learning.

But only through learning can you know, understand, and master all other aspects of this world, and only in this way can you make choices."

Having said this, Fang Zheng looked at the two people again.

"Driving EVA is just like learning. It's just a part of your life, not the end. So, don't rush to get the answer so quickly. Your future... is still long."

"…………"

Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Ayanami Rei's eyes changed slightly, and Shinji Ikari seemed to understand something and nodded.

"Okay, it's time, let's go."

"yes!"

At the same time, the time reached 0 o'clock.

The Yashima combat plan officially begins.

"Starting the first level of connection! All cooling systems, maximum power output!"

Under orderly orders, all of Japan's power was concentrated, and at the same time, Unit 1 pulled the bolt of its gun and aimed at the apostle suspended above New Tokyo City in the distance.

"Eight, seven, six, five..."

Just as the countdown was about to end, suddenly, the apostle in front of him suddenly began to transform! The original pyramid unfolded instantly and turned into a colorful geometric pattern. At the same time, a shining light burst out from its body.
To be continued...
