I participated in the development of EVA

"I hope so—"

There are no technical problems that are too difficult to solve at this stage of work, except that it is rather cumbersome to adjust and upgrade the equipment based on the results of the last experiment.

I worked until ten o'clock in the evening before I went off work to rest.

As for the previously established work schedule...it had long been abolished and the same free time as other departments was adopted.

The time is quite free.

Work all year round, sleep when you are tired and work when you wake up.

Even after deducting the rest time, he already works more than ten hours a day, but even when comparing himself with the people around him, Fumihiko Ikari still has the illusion that he is not working hard enough and that working 996 hours a day is a blessing.

right--

This is an illusion!

It's not like I was reincarnated as an animal.

Ugh!

I don't know when the order in the outside world will be stable...

Uh--

With my identity, I can't escape even if the situation stabilizes, and as long as I'm in Japan, I can't escape the fate of overtime... Damn it! Suddenly I feel that my future life is so hopeless. Not only do I have to face the apostles and human completions, which are natural and man-made disasters that can lead to the demise of human civilization if I'm not careful, but I also have to experience such endless internal overtime.

013. Remember to take precautions, my cousin’s nagging

After get off work, I didn't go back to the dormitory, but went directly to Fuyutsuki Kana's dormitory.

This place is closer to the medical department.

Swipe your card to enter the room.

The interior was relatively simple, with a layout not much different from his dorm, save for an extra bookshelf and dressing table.

There was a family photo on the bedside table, with obvious signs of being synthesized.

This woman was added later.

Kana's mother died when she was still a child?

Without thinking too much, he went to the bathroom to take a shower, then picked up his phone and sent a message to Fuyutsuki Kana.

[I'm home, is the operation not over yet? ]

Still no reply.

This operation lasted for two and a half hours, why hasn’t it ended yet?

It was not until twelve o'clock in the morning that Fuyutsuki Kana came back after Ikari Fumihiko fell asleep.

Kana Fuyutsuki's movements were very gentle, but she still woke up Fumihiko Ikari.

"Sorry for disturbing you."

Seeing the tired face of Fuyutsuki Kana, Ikari Fumihiko stood up and rubbed her shoulders.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Fuyutsuki Kana didn't know what to say for a moment, and just responded softly in a somewhat dull voice.

"Ah."

Immediately reacted.

"I'm going to take a shower first."

When I lived alone, there was nothing to worry about. I could just go back to the dorm and go to sleep. But now that I have a boyfriend, I have to pay more attention to my image.

"Okay, look at you, you're so tired that you can't even open your eyes, so don't take a bath...just take a rest."

"No."

Kana Fuyutsuki shook her head, broke free from Fumihiko Ikari's embrace and walked into the bathroom.

"Then just wash it briefly and come out."

"Ah."

I waited outside for a long time and was almost asleep, but Kana Fuyutsuki still hadn't come out, so I was startled.

"Kana?"

After calling out and hearing no response, I rushed into the bathroom and found Kana Fuyutsuki sleeping with her head resting on the edge of the bathtub.

Ikari Fumihiko breathed a sigh of relief but also felt a bit complicated.

As soon as she was picked up, Fuyutsuki Kana woke up and was stunned for a moment before she reacted.

"Sorry, I was a little too tired...I accidentally fell asleep."

Fumihiko Ikari shook his head, first used a towel to dry Kana Fuyutsuki's body, and then pressed her on the chair.

"Sit on the chair and I'll help you dry your hair before you go to bed."

"Ah."

Kana Fuyutsuki sat obediently on the chair, feeling the warmth of the moment.

After finishing her hair, she lay down on the bed.

Feeling the soft body in my arms, I suppressed the impulse in my heart and tormented for a long time before I fell into a drowsy sleep.

The next day, after finishing morning class, I went to Laboratory No. 1.

"Where's Dr. Ibuki?"

"He fell ill and was just taken away by the medical department."

Ikari Fumihiko's heart tightened.

I hope Ibuki Emi doesn't die suddenly like Ishida Ame, otherwise... all the work will fall on him.

"what's the situation?"

“Not getting enough rest can lead to low immunity and complications.”

"It's a bit confusing, please make it simpler."

"It's probably a severe viral cold. Not only Dr. Ibuki, but someone in the team has had a severe cold since the past few days."

I just say that we should combine work and rest and avoid excessive involution.

Now it's all right -

They all fell ill.

"Keep working. I'll go to the medical department to check on the situation."

"Ah."

I went straight to the medical department and found Kana Fuyutsuki to find out what was going on.

"How are my team members doing?"

"I got a viral cold due to fatigue, which reduced my immunity. It's not a serious problem."

"You are in a similar situation, you need to take some rest."

"Ah, you too."

"I'm going to go visit the team members first, and then I have to go back to work."

"Ah."

Ibuki Emi was lying on the hospital bed, coughing constantly, her face was so pale that almost no blood could be seen.

"What did I say? This kind of messy work is prone to accidents."

"Okay, stop... ahem... complaining about this. Go find... Wei and see if you can assign someone... to take over my job."

"You are amazing. You can't even speak clearly now, but you still think about work."

"We may not have much time left... We must race against time."

After working in the base for these days, he figured out one thing.

Researchers in the entire secondary experimental area basically know part of the truth about the second impact, and are told that current research is aimed at preventing the third impact from happening. The time of the third impact is unknown, it may be the next moment, tomorrow, or a year later. This is one of the reasons why researchers are working overtime so frantically.

After all, we shoulder the important responsibility of saving human civilization.

"Okay! I'll notify the minister to allocate more personnel. Just stay here and take care of your health."

After visiting Ibuki Emi, he then visited the other members.

Only then did he leave the medical department and come to the minister's office.

As soon as I walked in, Ikari Yui came up to me and asked with a gossipy look on her face, "Are you dating Kana from the medical department?"

"Correct."

"She is my mentor's daughter. She is a very nice person. Please don't let her down."

"..."

"Put the matter of getting married and having children on hold as long as possible. Remember to take protective measures on weekdays. The current situation is not suitable. You and she should focus on your work... No, you are still young, and Kana is not young anymore. If you delay it for too long, it will easily become an older mother, which is a bit dangerous."

Ikari Yui sighed and said with a headache.

"You really know how to give me problems."

"..."

"Forget it, let's not talk about this for now. You are here because of Huimei's illness, right?"

"Ah."

"Don't worry, Yuantang has already arranged a replacement. Next time something like this happens, just report it to your brother-in-law by phone. He is mainly in charge of this aspect now."

"Then I'm going back."

"Remember to take protective measures. The current situation is not a good time to have or raise children."

He walked out of the office with a dark face and went straight back to the laboratory.

The team is missing some people, but it doesn't really have much impact on the work... Everyone has a limited daily workload and has been squeezed to the limit. Except for him who is a little bit lazy, no matter how much the rest of the people continue to squeeze them, it will be useless. The progress of the project is destined to be delayed for a while.

It wasn't long before the new employees arrived.

"Hello, Dr. Fumihiko, I'm Aoba Fuji."

"This is Dr. Ibuki's work computer. Your task is to complete the follow-up work."

Qingye Teng first looked through the contents of his work diary, and then browsed the code notes.

"How is it? Can it be completed?"

"There are still some questions that I need to check with Dr. Ibuki."

"This is her contact number. If you have any questions, just call her."

"Okay, I know."

Looking at everyone working hard, Fumihiko Ikari yawned and then sneaked into the team leader's office.

Others don't know, but he knows very well...

The apostles will not attack for more than ten years, so time is not as urgent as imagined.

Everyone is busy... No one will come to me in the short term -

Thinking of this, I lay down on the desk and began to take a nap, and only woke up from my sleep when the lunch bell rang.

Picked up the phone and took a look.

[I have an operation to attend, which is a bit troublesome. You don’t have to wait for me for lunch. ]

Doctors have a really hard time.

【Um. 】

After replying to the message, he stood up and walked towards the cafeteria.
