Machine War: Infinite Frontier.

Sending three people into space is much simpler than sending several EVAs into space. It does not require much preparation and can be done easily.

As for how to get back after destroying the NERV lunar base, that is even easier. Just get back the same way you got back. Anyway, as long as they can find a way to break through the black barrier when landing, they can fly and land by themselves. The requirements are not high at all. As long as they can think of a way to get there, they can definitely think of a way to get back.

On the night when Ling Yi and the other two were sent away, Xiao Yun had a very interesting dream when he was sleeping. It was extremely interesting.

In his dream, he was in a world full of fire and darkness. Screams and fear filled the entire world. Countless figures were running away, struggling, trembling, and crawling in the darkness. Countless black muds emerged from the ground, creating circles of sticky ripples.

And he stood in this purest darkness, feeling no fear, no confusion, just excitement, happiness and fun.

Once this black mud touches anything, whether it is a living thing or a building, it will quickly devour it. The devoured life will begin to transform into a twisted monster, and other devoured things will be assimilated into black mud and spread to farther places.

Black mud rose from the ground from time to time, and an S flashed from time to time, and then a B flashed. All kinds of eroded life became distorted, either shaking their butts or shaking their heads. The style of painting gradually became weird, and the world began to be filled with joyful laughter. Monsters collided with each other and slowly turned into a bigger Xiao Yun, then Xiaolu, EVA, Gundam, a woman posing without clothes, and a gorilla knocking on her breasts.

“Hahaha, I am the Lord of the present world, the source of chaos, the dusk of hope, the end of the world, the destruction, the rebirth, the God of tomorrow… I am… Xiao…”

The sleeping Xiao Yun suddenly opened his eyes, turned around and looked at the ceiling with empty eyes, feeling a little dazed for a moment.

"Hmm?" Xiao Yun raised one hand and tapped his cheek with his index finger: "I am Xiao Yun."

Xiao Yun sat up suddenly, turned on the light and rummaged through the drawers. Yu Jian Mingye, who was lying on the bed, grabbed the thin quilt to cover his chest, sat up with bent knees and looked at Xiao Yun, who suddenly jumped up from the bed, in confusion.

"My Lord? What's wrong?"

Xiao Yun asked curiously, "Where did you lose the jar of black mud I brought with me?"

Black mud is also a super prop for destroying corpses and traces, but it has more uses than the black hole grenade, such as helping Xiao Yun disguise himself as some kind of evil god.

Yu Jian Mingye thought about it, covered his body, got up from the bed, and quickly found two storage tanks about the size of thermos cups.

Yu Jian Mingye was very surprised as to why Xiao Yun suddenly jumped up in the middle of the night to look for this: "What are you looking for this for now, sir?"

"I just had a dream, and I suddenly feel that this thing is a bit dangerous." Xiao Yun put on his clothes and pants, took two cans of black mud and was about to leave: "You have a good rest, I will ask Zhuque to follow you, I will be back soon."

Yu Jian Mingye hesitated for a moment, but when he saw that Xiao Yun had closed the door and left, he could only sit back on the bed. After being dazed for a while, he slowly closed his eyes.

Zhuque Kururugi was called up from the bed by Xiao Yun. He rubbed his eyes, put on his equipment, and followed Xiao Yun out of the residence.

"Sir, what are we going to do now?"

"Destroy these two things." Xiao Yun brought Suzaku Kururugi to an open place. The dark and weird scene in the dream was still fresh in Xiao Yun's memory. Although he could feel very excited and happy, Xiao Yun absolutely did not want to try to create the doomsday scene in the dream.

The dream just now still made him feel a little scalp tingling after he woke up. It is normal for people to dream, but this inexplicable dream made him a little alert.

The first thing he did after waking up was to find the two cans of black mud and prepare to destroy them because he suddenly thought that everything that happened in his dream was entirely possible.

Black mud alone cannot achieve this. Its significance in scientific research is greater than its significance in creating the apocalypse and bringing destruction. Normally, it cannot destroy the apocalypse.

But if it were to be combined with the newly captured apostle, Xiao Yun couldn't imagine what terrible consequences would occur. The scene in the dream was not just 100% likely to happen, but 10,000% likely. If an accident really happened and caused this place to become like in the dream, the result would be too terrible.

Xiao Yun took out a black hole grenade from Shugi Suzaku's equipment and placed two cans of black mud on the ground. After the black hole appeared and swallowed everything to create a big hole on the ground, Xiao Yun was still not at ease. He squatted in the pit and studied it for a long time before confirming that there was no problem and left with satisfaction.

After solving the biggest threat that might turn this world into a strange world, Xiao Yun fell asleep again with contentment. Kururugi Suzaku was woken up to accompany Xiao Yun out for a while, and then came back to stare blankly at the ceiling and began to suffer from insomnia.

Xiao Yun slept soundly, and then he had another dream.

"I am the master of plague and the god in charge of lust. Come on, girl, smile for me. Hahahaha."

Xiao Yun said that he slept well that night, but he didn't sleep very well. He had several dreams in a row. In the dreams, he was this god or that god, no matter it was the God of Tomorrow in the first dream, the God of Lust in the second dream, or the God of Chaos, the God of Darkness, the God of Filth later... Damn, they were all hateful evil gods.

He is so kind and just, the great savior who saves the world, but why can't he be the God of Light, the God of Fire, or other gods that sound very just?

He suspected that his brain was influenced by the apostles, those damn apostles.

Xiao Yun was waiting angrily for the next apostle to appear. He had to kill an apostle to vent his anger and calm himself.

Speak of the devil, and soon a new apostle appears again.

These mindless creatures will seem to jump out one after another inexplicably as long as they are not extinct. Although the apostles are split from Adam, no one in this world knows where the apostles were originally hiding. Anyway, although the apostles exist, their appearances are always abrupt, just like Schrödinger's cat, which can be regarded as non-existent when it is not present, but as long as the alarm is sounded, the apostles will suddenly appear.

Xiao Yun arrived at the combat command center. Now NERV has become Dawn, but the duties here at the headquarters are still the same as before, to eliminate the apostles and prevent the third impact.

Ryoji Kaji became the commander, Dongyue was still the deputy commander, and Xiao Yun was still Xiao Yun but he was the boss of all of them.

"Mr. Xiao."

"Mr. Xiao Yun."

As soon as Xiao Yun heard the word "apostle", he felt itchy and asked impatiently, "Where is the apostle?"

Dong Yue said: "Twelve minutes ago, the Mauna Kea Observatory captured the appearance of the Apostle. Now it has been confirmed that the Apostle is in Earth orbit. At the same time, the space orbit defense force has launched an attack on the Apostle. However, the Apostle's AT force field is extremely strong. Even with a large number of N2 bombs, they were unable to blow up the AT force field of the eighth Apostle. This is the optical image captured by the surveillance satellite."

Kaji Ryoji said: "This is the second time I've seen an AT field that can distort light."

Xiao Yun glanced at Jiaji Ryoji and said, "It's the first time."

Kaji Ryoji smiled but said nothing: "Haha."

Dongyue said, "According to calculations, there is a 2% chance that the Eighth Angel will hit the Dawn Headquarters, and no matter how many N bombs are used, it will not change its angle. The Eighth Angel has already started approaching the Earth. If the Angel gathers the AT force field in front and adds the energy from the fall, it can reach a depth of meters underground, and the entire city will evaporate in an instant."

Xiao Yun asked: "What's the solution?"

Kaji Ryoji said: "Misato Katsuragi did come up with a crazy idea."

"Use EVA to catch it, right?" Xiao Yun glanced at the apostle on the screen and said, "Use AT force field to offset it, okay."

Kaji Ryoji looked at Fuyutsuki and said, "Let's get started. Misato will be in charge of the command from now on. Does the deputy commander have any other ideas?"

Dong Yue shook her head: "No."

The action begins.

Misato Katsuragi arrived at the Akebono headquarters as soon as possible. At this time, she took off the island defense force uniform and put on her own red uniform again. The only difference from her previous outfit was that the logo on the clothes was covered by a new logo.

Kaji Ryoji brought Katsuragi Misato to Xiao Yun and said, "Mr. Xiao, the colonel hopes to return to the operations department. Compared to me and the deputy commander, the colonel is the most suitable candidate to command the battle against the apostles."

Xiao Yun looked at Katsuragi Misato: "Do you want to come back?"

"Yes." Katsuragi Misato nodded and said, "If Mr. Xiao Yun allows, I would like to come back."

"Okay, I promise you."

Hearing Xiao Yun's agreement, Katsuragi Misato's face suddenly lit up: "Thank you, Mr. Xiao Yun."

"Nothing." Xiao Yun shook his head and said, "Kaji Ryoji and Fuyutsuki Yukimasu are simply too incompetent compared to you."

Kaji Ryoji was a little melancholy: "After all, I'm not cut out for this."

Misato Katsuragi suddenly became serious: "Now is not the time to joke. Everyone is on second combat readiness."

Seeing Misato Katsuragi starting to arrange the combat mission in an orderly manner, Ryoji Kaji couldn't help but smile as he looked at Misato Katsuragi's back.

After everything was arranged, Katsuragi Misato turned to look at Xiao Yun: "Mr. Xiao Yun, I am sorry to bother you this time. Since only Unit-01 has the ability to operate for a long time, you can only adjust the position at any time and catch the Eighth Angel at the first opportunity. Only by releasing all the AT force fields can we contact the fallen Angel."

Xiao Yun nodded: "No problem."

Not long after, Misato Katsuragi brought Xiao Yun to a location above a transportation passage on the ground. A girl in a red EVA combat uniform was standing with her hands on her hips, shaking her feet constantly with an unhappy look on her face, while a girl in a white combat uniform was standing straight like a soldier ready to fight at any time.

Asuka saw Misato Katsuragi appear and immediately started yelling, "How long do we have to wait!"

As she spoke, Asuka curiously glanced at Xiao Yun who appeared with Katsuragi Misato, but she failed to realize at first glance that Xiao Yun was the pilot of Unit-01.

After all, Asuka had seen people wearing the same combat uniform and helmet many times during this period. When she saw Xiao Yun, she thought he was a surveillance personnel or guard who appeared with Misato Katsuragi.

"Long time no see, Asuka." Katsuragi Misato smiled and nodded at Asuka, then glanced at Ling Nan Ling: "Long time no see, Asuka."

Ling Bo Ling responded softly: "Yeah."

"Tsk." Asuka pouted unhappily and said, "It's the drunkard woman who left me alone in Germany after a long time."

Misato Katsuragi said, "That's not the case. Didn't I ask Kaji to take care of you when I left?"

Asuka was indignant: "That's a jerk man, you never see him normally!"

"Okay, we don't have time to dwell on the past now." Katsuragi Misato ended the meaningless conversation and said in a deep voice, "Announce the battle plan now!"

Although Asuka was a little unhappy, she still kept her mouth shut.

Misato Katsuragi said in a deep voice: "After our analysis, once the angel falls to the ground, the Third New Tokyo City will evaporate instantly, so our only way is to stop the eighth angel from falling to the ground, and what you have to do is to use EVA to catch the angel."

"What!?" Asuka shouted in disbelief, "Catch it with your hands!?"

"That's right." Katsuragi Misato nodded solemnly and said, "Release all the EVA's AT force fields to directly catch the falling Angel. And since the target's location information is unclear, we can't expect to calculate the correct falling trajectory through observation. After all, the Angel can adjust a certain falling angle at any time. We need to adjust different measures at any time according to different situations. So this operation will be a joint action of the three EVAs."

"Really? Haha." Asuka sneered through gritted teeth: "Finally, we have a chance to catch that guy who only knows how to hide."

Katsuragi Misato opened her mouth and glanced at Xiao Yun unconsciously: "Is there any conflict between you? If you can't cooperate tacitly, it may bring serious consequences."

Asuka clenched her fist and said, "There's no need for any tacit understanding. I can destroy it by myself."

"No." Misato Katsuragi shook her head and explained, "A single EVA cannot cover such a large area. Your time to act is quite limited while determining the crash site. Only three EVAs can act at the same time to intercept."

Ling Bo Ling asked calmly: "Why is it arranged like this?"

"Haha." Katsuragi Misato folded her hands and laughed: "Of course it's a woman's intuition. You two don't need to ask any more unnecessary questions. Mr. Xiao Yun, do you have any questions?"

Xiao Yun: "No, I believe in your intuition as a woman, hahahaha, this operation will definitely succeed."
