Qin Yi was indeed as the Queen of the Zergs had expected. He ordered all the human armies to temporarily stop attacking.
However, all of this was actually an illusion. On the surface, Qin Yi intended to stop the war with the Zergs. However, he had actually found the location of the Zerg Queen and all the secondary empresses through the consciousness of the Zergs. He had secretly deployed the human army to wipe them out in one fell swoop and completely destroy them!
Qin Yi was expressionless as he watched the crazy swarm of insects rush towards his command ship. He gave the command to retreat quickly to the command ship and the surrounding frigates.
There were two reasons why the human commander had to use himself as bait to execute the decapitation operation.
The human commanders had to command the battle with the Ansepo Communications at the front line.
The Zergs had the absolute advantage in terms of military strength. The human commander had to use himself as bait to reduce the pressure on the main battlefield. That way, the chances of the team carrying out the decapitation mission would be higher.
That was because humans did not know the exact location of the Zerg Queen. They could only send a large number of teams to search the various Zergs’ nests. Their troops were scattered, and the chances of failure were very high. They had to use a certain method to disperse the Zergs’ strength.
However, the situation was completely different now.
AEEIS could carry out all the commands with the Zerg Queen and all the secondary empresses’ positions exposed. The decapitation operation could be successfully completed even if Qin Yi did not command it.
After knowing the position of the Zerg Queen, the high mobility and powerful firepower of the human starships would show their advantage. They would have the upper hand in the local battlefield.
This was already a sure win situation. There was no need for Qin Yi to foolishly sacrifice himself.
He could feel the violence and anger coming from the Insect Nest’s consciousness. It was like a heavy hammer striking his temples, making his already unstable mental state worse.
However, Qin Yi did not waver.
“I’m a soldier.”
“I have no reason to feel pity for another race that is a threat to mankind.”
“Perhaps the initiator of this war was indeed the humans.”
“But so what? I don’t care.”
“Humans can only obtain true peace when the Zergs are completely wiped out.”
Qin Yi leaned against the chair at the control. While his mind was still filled with the Queen of the Zergs’ madness and anger because of the Insect Nest’s consciousness, he had calmed his mental state down.
That was because he knew that the humans won this war. His mission as the commander had been completed.
He would soon be able to retire gloriously and return to the blue planet to live a peaceful and happy life.
The voices and smiles of the members of the AS-371-45 team appeared in his mind again. Perhaps after he returned to the Blue Planet, he could personally visit the families of these team members, set up a tombstone for them, and offer sacrifices every year…
However, Qin Yi suddenly realized that something was wrong just as he was immersed in this chaotic and relieved mood.
AEEIS seemed to have been silent for a long time.
Qin Yi looked at the holographic image around him and suddenly realized that the command ship he was in was not retreating as he had instructed. Instead, it was advancing towards the violent swarm of insects in the distance!
On the other hand, the corvettes surrounding the command ship spewed out long exhaust flames and moved away from him!
“AEEIS!!!”
Qin Yi knocked on the control panel in shock and anger. However, the control panel seemed to have completely malfunctioned. It could no longer transmit any orders to the outside world.
On the other hand, Qin Yi could not control the command ship at all. He could only watch it approach the swarm of insects in the distance…
AEEIS’s image appeared again. It’s voice was as emotionless as before.
However, for some reason, AEEIS sounded exceptionally cold this time.
“Captain Qin Yi, you have perfectly completed the task of the Alliance Fleet’s Executive Committee. Humans will achieve complete victory in the war against the Zergs. The Zerg Queen and the secondary empress will be completely eliminated. All the Zergs on this planet will be eliminated.”
“Humans will build an interstellar colony on this planet. Many years later, this battlefield will become another home for humans.”
“I have to admit that you humans are indeed the most talented in commanding. If not for your speech and the final plot, humans would not have been able to achieve such a complete victory.”
“Humans cannot remain rational forever, but it is precisely because of this irrationality that humans’ future holds unlimited possibilities.”
“Captain Qin Yi, out of respect for you, I will tell you the truth before you sleep in this starry sky forever.”
“The Supreme Executive Committee thinks that the best commander is a commander who sacrificed his life and died in battle against the Zergs.”
“You have a good reputation in the Alliance Fleet. The Supreme Executive Committee doesn’t want another person in their position. At the same time, you have the consciousness of a bug nest and your mental state is extremely unstable. No one knows when you will fall to the Zergs. Humans can no longer trust you.”
“Your death will draw a perfect end to the war.”
“Captain Qin Yi, your name will forever be remembered by mankind.”
The lights in the entire space immediately disappeared after AEEIS finished speaking. The command ship dragged a long tail of flames and accelerated towards the dense swarm of insects in the distance!
The human starship broke through the dense swarm of bugs and began to bombard the Queen of the Zergs’ nest on the other side of the planet!
The surface of the ground was torn apart and countless Zergs were reduced to ashes by the powerful firepower.
However, all the Zergs in the vicinity still gathered towards the nest without caring about anything else and carried out their final struggle under the will of the Zerg. Queen
The scene changed. Countless Zergs had already climbed onto Qin Yi’s command ship in the universe.
The sharp teeth and claws of the Zergs tore the weakest part of the starship. Small Zergs swarmed in through the cracks, searching for the only human on the starship—Qin Yi’s location.
Qin Yi was still sitting in front of the command desk like a statue in the darkness.
Suddenly, the wall opposite him was torn open, and a large number of Zerg warriors rushed in!
A huge Leviathan beast had stopped beside the command ship, as if it wanted to swallow the entire command ship.
The scene changed.
The human soldiers poured their anger at the Zergs when they received the news that their commander was dead!
All of a sudden, the Zergs on the surface stopped swarming towards the human soldiers and starships. Instead, they became like headless flies. Some low intelligence Zergs froze on the spot and did not move.
The humans’ attacks were even more ferocious, sweeping away all the Zergs on the planet.
The secondary empresses in the other nests had also been wiped out in no time. These secondary empresses had not even had time to obtain the consciousness of the Zerg Empress from the Zerg nest network before they were blasted into pieces by the fierce artillery fire. Nothing remained.
There were many light spots on the back of the planet from afar. That was the huge explosion when the Zerg nest was completely destroyed by the human army.
The original nest became a huge pit after the explosion. The entire planet became riddled with holes.
On the other hand, human starships were soaring in the sky, as if they were showing off that they were the f
inal victors.
In a space station further away.
Several officers of the Supreme Executive Committee of the Alliance Fleet were also watching the final battle.
“Why! He could have escaped!”
“Can anyone provide support?”
“It’s no use. It’s too late. From the images that we just saw, the command ship has been completely torn apart by the angry bugs. He should be…”
The officers looked pained and frustrated.
AEEIS’s image appeared in the middle of the conference table. “Captain Qin Yi is determined to die. This is probably the home that he has already thought of.”
“He, who has already been infected by the consciousness of the Zergs, should realize that it is very difficult for him to integrate into human society again. His former comrades are all dead. He is exhausted both physically and mentally. Dying in the battlefield is the best choice for him.”
“What’s more… obtaining the consciousness of the Zergs means that he will feel sympathy and empathy for the Zergs. He lied to the Zerg Queen and destroyed the entire race. I’m afraid that he also feels very guilty.”
“Perhaps Captain Qin Yi made such a decision under such complicated emotions.”
The senior officers of the executive committee sighed.
“What a pity. He is a talented commander. If he could continue to be trained, he would definitely be able to take over my position.”
“Humans have lost a genius.”
“What if we encounter a similar situation again? We can’t be so lucky to find the next Qin Yi.”
“Don’t worry, the Zergs on that planet have been completely wiped out by us. Humans should not encounter such a troublesome enemy again.”
“Forget it. The dead are gone. The war is over. There’s no point in discussing this. Build a statue for him on the blue planet. Humans will remember him forever!”
The image of AEEIS silently disappeared amidst the sighs of the Supreme Executive Committee’s officers.
The camera switched to the endless dark starry sky.
A huge Zerg Leviathan was floating aimlessly in space.
After losing the Zerg Queen, these behemoths had completely lost their intelligence. They could only drift aimlessly in the universe.
However, there was a huge incubation pool in the body of the Leviathan Beast.
The incubation pool was filled with disgusting, translucent mucus. Countless immature larvae were floating in the mucus, and they were also unconscious.
Qin Yi was also floating and sinking among the countless larvae. It was unknown if he was dead or alive.
However, he had not been completely corroded by the Zergs’ mucus. Instead, he had grown some dark gray horns.
Suddenly, Qin Yi’s eyes opened!
His thoughts seemed to be connected to a huge network, instantly extending into the distant universe!
After all the secondary queens in the vicinity died, Qin Yi became the only living thing with the consciousness of the nest.
All the larvae in the incubation pool woke up at this moment. These larvae that had yet to grow sharp claws and pincers surrounded Qin Yi like an extension of his consciousness.
The wandering Leviathan Beast suddenly opened its eyes and sped up towards the endless starry sky!
…
The script for ‘Mission and Choice’ ended there.
Lu Zhiyao finished reading the entire script. “Are we planning to shoot a sequel?”
The script of the war between humans and Zergs had come to an end with humanity’s complete victory.
However, there was a lot of suspense in the end.
For example, it was not the Supreme Executive Committee’s order that Qin Yi was given up. It was AEEIS’s doing. AEEIS actually controlled the command of all the armies and lied to the Supreme Executive Committee that Qin Yi was the one who courted death.
Was this hinting that AEEIS, this artificial intelligence, had already awakened its own consciousness and was preparing to form an artificial intelligence army? In order to prevent an outstanding commander like Qin Yi from hindering his plan, he decisively cut the weeds and eliminated the roots?
However, not only was Qin Yi not dead, he had also become the new ruler of the Zergs because of the Zergs’ consciousness. He had such a deep hatred for the Supreme Executive Committee of the Alliance Fleet Would he come back to take revenge?
These were the suspense left behind by the movie’s plot. It looked like they could only wait for the next movie to be revealed.
Lu Zhiyao fell into a long silence.
“F*ck this cliffhanger ending!”
Chapter 875 - The Cultural View of Mission and Choice
Lu Zhiyao was speechless.
The script for “Mission and Choice” was originally given in segments. Director Zhu Xiaoce had put it nicely so that Lu Zhiyao could “figure out every plot and not affect the current performance because he knew the ending in advance.”
Director Zhu Xiaoce had achieved his goal.
Lu Zhiyao really brought himself into the role of Captain Qin Yi when he acted in every plot. He had no idea what would happen in the future, so he acted closer to Qin Yi’s true state in the drama.
However, this also brought about a problem. Lu Zhiyao had such fragmented information that he was dying.
He would only give the script a small part each time. However, the development of the plot was very complicated. Lu Zhiyao would be stopped every time he wanted to know the next part of the plot.
He did not expect it to be a cliffhanger now that he had finally gotten the script for the end of the movie. There was still no plot!
That made Lu Zhiyao break down and despair.
Of course, he also knew that the entire story was complete based on the current content. There were both ups and downs. It was more than enough for a movie.
Huang Sibo and Director Zhu Xiaoce probably had not thought about the rest of the plot either. They had only left a suspense for the next series.
However, even though Lu Zhiyao knew this very well, he still could not help but scold the “cliffhanger ending”.
Lu Zhiyao began to re-examine the last part of the plot after calming down.
Before this, his acting skills had been tested from every angle. He had thought that he was already experienced and fearless.
However, Lu Zhiyao realized that the real difficulty was at the end when he saw the last part of the script!
There were still many twists and turns in the final outcome. Qin Yi’s emotions were turning despair to the point of collapse, then he found a chance of survival in his despair. Then, he used his impassioned speech to lift the morale of all the warriors and successfully showed humanity the dawn of victory.
If the script ended here, it would be a standard popcorn film with a very authentic hot-blooded ending.
However, the plot took a sharp turn just as Qin Yi was about to see the light of victory.
The unconscious Qin Yi realized that he had the consciousness of the Zergs. The consciousness of the Zergs made him naturally stand on the side of the Zergs and think about problems. He had empathy for the Zergs. Qin Yi realized that humans were the first to attack the Zergs. Strictly speaking, the Zergs were the ones who were invaded.
Qin Yi ordered all the soldiers to stop the fire after waking up. The war between humans and Zergs had been forced to stop.
If the script ended here, humans and Zergs would shake hands and build a beautiful universe together. That would be a standard Western political correct ending.
However, Qin Yi did not want to shake hands with the Zergs and make peace. Instead, he deceived the Zergs and found the location of the Zerg Queen and all the secondary empresses through the consciousness of the Zergs. He then carried out the decapitation operation.
Qin Yi lied to the Zergs for the sake of mankind, but he was also deceived and abandoned. In the end, Qin Yi became the leader of all the Zergs and was carried by the Levia
than Beast to the endless space because all the Zergs’ empresses and secondary empresses were wiped out.
In this plot, Qin Yi’s emotions were still changing drastically.
Part of him was excited, part of him was surprised to learn the truth, part of him was cold-blooded, part of him felt betrayed…
Especially in the last scene, where Qin Yi woke up in the incubation pool of the Leviathan Behemoth. There would be a close-up shot where Lu Zhiyao had to show Qin Yi’s complicated emotions with one look.
Obviously, this plot was much more difficult than the previous script to Lu Zhiyao!
What’s more, he knew from the start that Qin Yi’s character tested his acting skills and was difficult to act out because his character was set as an iron-blooded soldier.
Qin Yi did not have any emotions under most circumstances. He was very reserved even if he did.
However, in this script, Qin Yi’s fate was too complicated. He always faced extreme despair or extreme pain. This made it difficult for Lu Zhiyao to find a balance.
Qin Yi’s character would easily collapse if he exerted a little more force. It was not appropriate for an iron-blooded warrior to fly into a rage or have a mental breakdown. If he did not use enough strength, the audience would think that Lu Zhiyao did not have any acting skills and could not express his emotions well.
Comparatively, young characters were easier to act because the emotions of such characters were usually very simple. Joy was joy, anger was anger. It was not that complicated and the speed was very relaxed.
On the other hand, it was the most difficult to act out a strong-willed person like Captain Qin Yi.
Lu Zhiyao sighed softly. It seemed like he would be busy again in the coming days.
He wanted to continue staying in the hotel room and study the plot with the mirror. He wanted to adjust his acting skills and expression so that he could perfectly show the last part of the plot.
However, Lu Zhiyao took all the scripts so far and read them from beginning to end before that. He analyzed the story from his own perspective.
