Ps: Don't look down if you haven't watched the spoiler.









After reading the film review at the top, I felt that I could describe it more simply, so I swiped up the keyboard in my hand.
First of all, we must understand the characters in the movie.
Aliens can be divided into three
red aliens. This is the most common, ant-like
blue alien called Alpha. Only one of the 6.18 million aliens has the ability to reset through the mother omega after death. Note: Each Alpha has a different reset time point, and the reset time is different after the death of different Alpha. The brain is retained after reset, and there is
only one physical omega when the physical body returns to the reset point . Once dead, all aliens will lose their ability to move and the ability to reset will also disappear.
There is only one kind of human, and it has the ability to reset the maternal body after being mixed with alpha blood (the time of reset depends on the alpha mixed with blood), once non-alpha blood is infused, it will lose this ability.

In fact, after understanding the above, the plot is easier to understand.
In this episode, Cage (Tang Ge) serves as the head of the cultural and propaganda department. He encourages the people to join the army and shows the truth, goodness and beauty of the army to the people to improve their satisfaction. After offending the boss of the X team, he was said to be a deserter and entered the first-line team to fight.
Cage, who didn’t understand anything, came to the battlefield but encountered the rare beast alien Alpha One, and used a bomb to defend himself when Alpha One killed him X. As a result, Alpha One triggered the bomb and both of them were killed. Alpha The blood entered the cage's body by accident. At this time, the mother Omega found that Alpha One was dead, and entered the reading mode, and reset the time to the save time point before Alpha One. Because the blood of Alpha One also entered the cage's body, the cage was also reset to that point in time.
Cage has opened a plug-in that retains experience points and reads files to kill monsters after death. The level continues to rise, becoming more and more powerful. Then I met the heroine Rita (Ps: The heroine Rita also had this plug-in before, but he did not die in time after that great victory, and was transfused with blood, which led to the loss of this ability).
Rita is a veteran at first glance. Seeing that the hero is so awesome and without blind worship, he can see that he used a plug-in at a glance, and ask him to talk to her when he finishes reading the file next time.
The protagonist was very obedient and finally found the protagonist after reading the files several times. Under the explanation of the heroine friend Dr. IQ, he understood everything. Only by killing Omega can the aliens be wiped out.
There are two ways to find Omega. One is that the mother body will come to you by itself and transmit to you the image of where he is. People with Alpha blood can also do it), and the instrument is in the hands of the Whitehall X team boss.
After playing a few monsters and upgrading a few levels, cage received the image, and started the way to fight the boss with Rita. After reading hundreds of times, the male protagonist found that he was in love with the female protagonist, and if he took the female protagonist to play the boss, he would die no matter how to play the female protagonist. After weighing it up, he embarked on a path to play the boss alone. The protagonist arrived at the boss's house smoothly, and found out that he had been cheated. That image is that Alpha deliberately let the mother body transmit it to him, in order to bring him here, to retrieve the plug-in. Cage quickly committed suicide after discovering something was wrong, and found Rita to find Omega in the second way.
The protagonist went on to read hundreds of times, and finally learned to dance, danced with Rita and got the instrument, and found that the mother was in Paris.
I thought it was easy to play boss with a plug-in, but I didn't expect the screenwriter to confiscate the plug-in of the cage in order to create an atmosphere.
Without the plug-in, the cage can only take a try, and brought a group of death squads to Paris.
After the death squads were all dead, the cage went to the boss with the heroine, and found an Alpha 2 standing there.
At this time, the plot was triggered again. When the male and female protagonists discussed the countermeasures, Rita went to entice Alpha II, and the protagonist went to bomb the boss.
After Rita diverted the Alpha II, the male protagonist began to rush. In ancient times, Dong Cunrui bombed the bunker, and the existing Tomo grenade bombed the mother body. After Alpha 2 discovered that he had been cheated, he desperately screamed to chase the male lead. At the moment of chasing, the grenades that the male lead had pulled out of the fuse had been sucked in by the mother's body, and then it exploded.
At this time, it was not the end. The blood of Alpha 2 was absorbed by Tom. At this time, the mother triggered the last reset before death. Tom was reset back to the time of Alpha 2 (that is, on the plane). At this time, since the mother body had already died, Alpha II lost its ability to move even if it was resurrected.
Then Brother Tom was very happy to find the heroine. . .
End. . . . . . .
