?Chapter 801: Chapter 727 Unit-01 Chapter 801: Chapter 727 Unit-01 Boom~


    The rolling mushroom cloud soared into the sky, as if a new sun had arisen.


    White blasts of air surged, the sea surface first dipped and then rebounded violently.


    Even the elevation of New Tokyo was high, with coastal roads considered to be on cliffs.


    Yet the explosion created waves that, like a tsunami, surged onto the shore base.


    Rocket trucks and tanks on the highway, like plastic, many were directly swept away by the waves.


    The thick firelight and the nearby white hot steam completely enveloped the image of the Angel Envoy.


    Similarly, at NERV headquarters, a few commanders, responsible for the UN army, appeared somewhat tense.


    ...


    “Was it successful?”


    Helicopters in the distance began to approach, and the camera zoomed in.


    However, as the mist cleared, that towering shadow had once again appeared in front of the lens!


    An N2 mine had detonated at close range, yet it had not destroyed the target.


    This made the person in charge of the UN army immediately stand up.


    “Impossible!”


    When the fog thinned further, everyone also noticed that the Angel Envoy had stopped and there were still some wounds on its body.


    And these wounds were oozing red fluid like that of an animal, similar in color to the sea.


    Moreover, the tissues near these wounds were continuously wriggling, visibly beginning to heal!


    It displayed very obvious biological traits.


    Then snap~


    A new face squeezed out of the original location of the small head.


    “From the current wounds, even if we drop many more N2 mines, it’s unlikely to eliminate it, and it might even cause more harm to ourselves.”


    A data analyst made the analysis.


    At this moment, the three commanders of the UN army turned to look at Gendo Ikari.


    “Are you really confident?”


    “Of course, this is exactly what we have been preparing for.”


    At this time, Gendo Ikari felt a slight relief in his heart; it was good that they had found a pilot at the last moment, otherwise it would have been troublesome.


    Regardless of what he was thinking internally, at least outwardly, he displayed considerable steadiness and confidence.


    This attitude moved the three commanders of the UN army.


    After their own side’s setback, having someone willing to take the blame was actually acceptable.


    “So, the command authority will now be transferred to NERV.”


    “We look forward to your success.”


    At this point, Fuyutsuki also spoke to Tao Yu.


    “While the Angel Envoy is recovering, you can start getting ready, Ritsuko and Misato will take him overa?€|”


    Now the Angel Envoy was healing its wounds; the N2 mines ultimately had bought some time.


    And it was clearly within Gendo Ikari’s expectations.


    The cockpit was slowly inserted into it.


    “Cockpit insertion.”


    “Cockpit secured.”


    “First contact with A10 nerve connections shows no abnormalities.”


    “LCL is being injected into the cockpit.”


    As Tao Yu casually moved the handles, a yellow liquid began filling the compartment, and Ritsuko’s voice also spread from all around,


    “Don’t be nervous, you can breathe directly in there, just adapt a bit.”


    Tao Yu knew this was LCL solution, theoretically the primordial ‘water of life’ for humankind.


    Having the buff from Takigakure Village, Tao Yu didn’t need to pretend to be nervous and could fully manifest his strong psychological quality.


    Observing the situation inside the cockpit, Ritsuko once again revealed an admiring expression.


    Rei Ayanami could appear calm as well, but she was too emotionally detached, making her EVA’s performance appear quite ‘steady’ without any distinct traits.


    Previous experiments had even led to injuries.


    “Now it’s all up to Unit-01...”


    Ritsuko was somewhat unsure.


    “Main power supply connections and power transmission to all circuits.”


    As the EVA powered up with the electrical system, various screens around Tao Yu also lit up.


    “It really doesn’t seem like a mecha, more like just a slot pushed inside the EVA...”


    Tao Yu looked around, also appearing calm.


    He pondered over the performance this time.


    Even though Unit-01 contained Shinji Ikari’s mother, he felt his “Riding” should be unproblematic.


    “Entering second contact, A10 nerve connections show no abnormalities.”


    “Initial contact is completely fine.”


    “Bidirectional circuits open.”


    As the neurons began to synchronize bidirectionally, everyone in the control room anxiously watched the data in front.


    “Synchronization rate isn’t responding, a display anomaly is occurring.”


    “Display anomaly?


    What’s wrong?”


    Ritsuko frowned.


    “It’s currently showing zero!


    This has never happened before!”


    It was known to have low synchronization rates, but a rate of zero with no fluctuations from start to finish was utterly baffling...


    At this moment, inside the cockpit filled with LCL solution, Tao Yu’s eyes appeared profoundly deep.


    Indeed, the EVA, or at least Unit-01, had its own soul!


    Under the suppression of the world, he couldn’t directly sense it outside, but now inside the EVA, he clearly felt another soul that resonated and synchronized with his own.


    Yui Ikari...
