On the devastated earth. The once tall buildings were leaning on the ground. In the previous tsunami, they collapsed and shattered. Reinforced concrete fragments could be seen everywhere, and among the ruins, there was a huge purple machine. He was squatting there, carefully clearing out the ruins, and placing pieces of the ruins on the open ground next to him.
The originally collapsed rooms were cleared out layer by layer by him, and the materials that were pressed under the building and the buried underground warehouse were also cleared out bit by bit.
The one responsible for cleaning up the building is naturally Unit 1. The huge machine that was once used to fight against the apostles has now become their largest and most exaggerated engineering machine. It does not need to be plugged in at all and relies on the S2 mechanism that is almost unlimited energy in the body. , you can keep working.
Shinji Ikari moved cautiously, fearing that he would accidentally collapse the building, causing Asuka and Lanno, who were cleaning supplies in the rubble, to be buried underneath.
With such a huge thing, it became much easier to clean up supplies, and we could roughly judge where this place was originally from the terrain here.
The city where the three of them are located is actually the original Third New Tokyo. As one of the most important headquarters of Nerv, it is also the place where Black Moon is buried. It was once one of the most developed industrial cities in mankind.
In addition to food and fuel, there is also a large amount of supply equipment here. The equipment in the factories on the surface may have been damaged a lot, but many factories built in underground bunkers escaped the tsunami, although the power facilities were completely It was destroyed, but most of the equipment inside was well preserved.
"Look what I found? A complete electric kettle refining furnace. This is a very convenient smelting equipment. Just throw most of the minerals in and input the corresponding parameters to smelt the corresponding alloy. The only drawback is It’s just that this thing consumes too much electricity, and we have to find a way to restart an underground power plant for it.” Lan Nuo wrapped the steel cables around the arc refining furnace, and then let Unit 1 pull the equipment from the ground like fishing. Pulled up from deep underground.
"Didn't we collect a lot of cables? Let's use steel bars to weld a large bicycle to the No. 1 machine and let him pedal the bicycle to generate electricity! This will save us the need to find a complete power plant." Asuka said in a dark tone. Make up your mind.
"It doesn't seem impossible. If the mountain is used as the basis, it seems possible to let Unit 1 generate electricity manually. However, we may have to find the peripherals of Unit 1 and weld such a big bicycle. It depends on the two of us. Strength can’t do it.”
The words of the two people were transmitted to Shinji Ikari through the communicator, and his face suddenly turned pale: "No! I have to be responsible for digging other ruins! I can't always generate electricity there! EVA is nerve conductive, I can He died from exhaustion up there!”
"Just to put it casually, we must still find a normal power station. The hand-cranked generator set can only be said to be a backup plan." Lan Nuo was quickly cleaning up the materials in the ruins. There are still many equipments in the factory. They are intact, but the underground buildings are already crumbling. They must be cleared out as soon as possible to ensure that these materials will not be wasted.
With the help of Unit 1, the three people's range of activities was significantly larger, and the materials collected were much richer than before. It was not only food and clothing, but also some well-preserved items that had not been destroyed after the tsunami. After simple repairs, five or six of the damaged vehicles could be driven directly.
After the current round of material collection was completed, it was getting dark. After dinner, the three of them drove along the coastline, looking for other survivors who might have woken up from the ocean.
This is already the eleventh day since they woke up. No other survivors have been found before, but Shinji Ikari believes that sooner or later, others will wake up.
An important reason why the three of them chose to operate at night is that if someone wakes up from the ocean, they should light a bonfire at night for lighting and heating. These bonfires will be very conspicuous at night. Human civilization has been lost, and what can be done in the dark The only ones that shine are these remaining lights.
Originally, the group of people did not have high hopes. They just drove along a coastal road. The road had been distorted and uneven by the tsunami. If the three of them had not chosen a car with a relatively solid leather and a high chassis, it would have been difficult. Go forward on such streets.
As the night gradually deepened and the two children were dozing off, a flickering bright spot came from the distant jungle, the flickering light of a formal bonfire, which meant that there were other survivors in that direction.
The two children, who were already drowsy, immediately became energetic when they saw the scene outside the car window: "There are really survivors, hurry up! Find our food and water, they must be starving!" Shinji Ikari jumped up in the back row in excitement.
Asuka slapped him on the head: "If you are looking for food and water, find the gun first!"
"Ah?" Shinji Ikari didn't know why.
Lan Nuo nodded and said: "Go and find the guns. One for each person. We also put on the bulletproof vests and bulletproof helmets we collected. Don't think too much of other people. Although we are all fallen people in the world, but The other party may not be kind to us, but may covet our car, our food and water.
As long as those who can wake up from the ocean are not stupid, they will soon discover that there is a mass extinction on the earth, and realize that food and fresh water are limited, especially food, eat less.
On some level, each of us is a competitor to one another, carving up what little food humanity has left behind, and all we have to do is be careful. "
Shinji Ikari was poured a basin of cold water on his head, but he calmed down quickly and realized that he had not thought carefully just now. Even if civilization has not been lost, he should not be so careless when facing strangers. Heart.
The three of them put on their body armor and took their firearms, then turned and drove in the direction of the fire. The light of the car lights illuminated the survivor camp beside the campfire. There were not just one or two survivors here, but dozens of people.
Facing the approaching vehicles, a burst of cheers quickly came from the camp. Several people were holding firearms, and more people were holding simple makeshift spears. They watched the vehicle with vigilance. The car is coming.
Without Unit 1, their efficiency in collecting supplies would obviously not be as high as that of the three of them. It could be seen from their complexions that they might not have had enough to eat for several days.
Lan Nuo carefully observed the guns in their hands. The quality could be judged by the slight acceleration of the guns. Judging from the quality, most of the guns here were just fake, with only one or two bullets in them.
After seeing that the three people who got out of the car were all humans, the people in the survivor camp breathed a sigh of relief. The leader among them raised his hand, and only then did the few with guns lower their muzzles.
Only then did Shinji Ikari realize that if the three of them had no weapons at all, what kind of embarrassing situation might they face at this time?
Lan Nuo, as the representative of the three, took the lead to go up and negotiate with the other party.
"Finally we met a living person. How long has it been since you woke up?" Lan Nuo asked.
The leader of the camp was a middle-aged man in his forties. Hearing this, he sighed: "It has been a week since we woke up. I was the first among these people to wake up. Others woke up one after another. People near us also woke up." There seems to be something special about this coast. People who wake up usually come from there. We don’t know why.
To be honest, many people would rather not wake up. You should have discovered it too, right? All animals and plants on the earth are extinct. We haven't found much edible food in the ruins of the city these days, but more and more people are waking up. How are you over there? Can you still survive? Maintain it? "
…
The two parties exchanged information about each other's camps. The middle-aged leader's name is Joey. His hometown should be in the United States. He has no idea why he was reborn in Japan. The people in the camp come from all over the world. There seems to be no pattern. Come.
After Joey learned that the Lannos not only had a large amount of food and water, but had even begun to collect industrial facilities in preparation for restoring power and the most basic industries, he suddenly showed an incredible expression.
"How did you do it in such a short time?" Others couldn't help but gathered around and asked enthusiastically. Shinji Ikari and Asuka took out the food and water they had prepared before from the car. Seeing everyone devouring their food and listening to the thank yous, the emotions in my heart were complicated and difficult to understand.
Lan Nuo glanced at Shinji Ikari, and finally pointed at him: "We were able to collect supplies so quickly only with the help of this kid. You may not have recognized him. He is the pilot of Unit 1. Risking In the face of a near-death risk, we can salvage the No. 1 aircraft from the sea and restore control of the aircraft, so that we can collect so many supplies in a short period of time."
For a moment, everyone looked at Shinji Ikari, which made him a little overwhelmed. He was not good at dealing with such lively occasions, and it was even more difficult for him to adapt to being the focus of everyone's attention.
The look Joey looked at him was also very complicated. The third impact was ultimately caused by Unit 1, Shinji Ikari. On a certain level, everything we faced and the disasters in the apocalypse were all caused by this. Caused by a 14 year old.
If he had met this child by accident, instead of trying to use the supplies he had brought on his adventure like now, he might have spat in his face, or even do something even more outrageous.
But looking at the tired look on the thin young man's face, he still shook his head: "Thank you, please take care of me in the future."
The mentality of other people is actually similar. If Shinji Ikari is the kind of child with no sense of responsibility, after causing a huge disaster to the world, he does not want to make amends, but only knows how to escape reality, and even becomes a member of other survivors' camps. parasite, then they will definitely treat this boy very cruelly.
But now that they see him working hard to undo the disaster he caused, and considering that the third impact was not all his fault, many people can't hate him anymore, and even feel that this child is a bit pitiful.
A mother who once had a child of similar age even came forward, hugged Shinji Ikari, and gently stroked his head: "My child, you have worked hard! You cannot be blamed for all this!"
Asuka looked at the scene in front of her, a trace of trance appeared in her eyes. She also longed for the same care. Her mother was once his biggest psychological shadow. Even after awakening in the last battle, the regret in her heart was still there. Not made up for.
"What are you thinking about? Do you miss your mother?" Lan Nuo suddenly appeared next to Asuka, startling the girl.
"No! No! Only an idiot like Shinji would miss his mother at such an old age!"
"Well! There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Now everyone has become part of the red ocean. Maybe your mother's soul is in this ocean. Maybe she can really come back." Lan Nuo did not tell the truth. It is almost impossible for Asuka's mother to come back. The most important point is that Asuka and Rei Ayanami are actually the same, they are both clones, and the Asuka next to her is not even the original body.
After a brief negotiation, Joey decided to take his people to the camp established by Lan Nuo, while leaving a small number of people stationed here to guide those who had just woken up from the seaside so that they would not get lost.
A few people who knew how to drive followed Lan Nuo and the three people back to the camp first. The huge Unit 1 half-kneeling next to the camp shocked several people. Although Unit 1 often had to fight against the apostles, ordinary people could not get close to this machine. There are still very few opportunities for huge mechas, and getting such an opportunity is really exciting.
Fortunately, the most they did was go up and have a look, and did not forget about business. They drove a few still intact vehicles and packed and transported the people and materials from their original camp.
As the number of people in the camp gradually increased, the camp where the three people seemed a little lonely began to become lively. More supplies were sorted out by category. People who knew how to drive drove vehicles and searched everywhere along the coastline. Every day Can bring back new people.
Everything seemed to be going in a good direction, until one afternoon on the twentieth day after the three of them woke up, Shinji Ikari, who had finished cleaning up the ruins for the day, and the exploration team headed north along the coastline...
Not all survivors have a chance to survive after waking up. Finding food and water among the ruins of the city requires rich survival experience, and it also requires a lot of luck. It has passed since the third impact. For more than twenty days, those who were less lucky began to start one after another, and some people ushered in the end of their lives.
