Five years ago, alien creatures invaded the earth, able to imitate and even predict human actions, humans called mimetic, in just a few years, the earth human losses countless, the city tragic ruins, the mimetic army like a plague began to spread from the European continent, the two sides of the battle, humanity finally achieved a victory in Verdun, so that the remaining human beings saw hope.
The protagonist Cage, who is in charge of media public relations, introduced people to a new weapon to defeat mimesis in an interview with the TV station, a new type of combat armor, one of which is a female god of war named Rita, who is highly respected by the military, she is extremely powerful, and humans regard it as the hope of victory in war, and in order to boost morale, they are vigorously publicized, calling her the Angel of Verdun.
On this day, Cage came to the headquarters of the Joint Defence Centre in London, wanting to get first-hand news on the battlefield, because tomorrow humanity will carry out a downfall operation, the Coalition forces will send all their armed forces to eliminate the imitation in one fell swoop, the general in charge of the campaign seems to have the confidence of victory, and he hopes that Cage and the camera crew will go to the front line of the battlefield to record this historic moment. Cage said he didn't want to go to the front because he had the rank of major, was a reserve officer, had no combat experience, and would die at any time. Faced with the general's orders, Cage even threatened the general that he would be blamed by the people, and the general ordered the soldiers to arrest Cage, forcibly sent him to the front troops, and gave him the title of deserter.
Cage was reminded that he was at the Airport of Silos, and he tried his best to explain his true identity and the reason for coming to the Sergeant Major, who was accustomed to taking him directly to Camp J squad and punishing the players who were playing cards and gambling at the time for eating poker. The next day, Cage reluctantly put on the mech, and was driven to the battlefield by ducks on the shelves without knowing how to operate.
Just when the teammates laughed at Cage like a dead man, the monster attacked the cockpit, the transport plane caught fire, and could only be forced to jump down to save his life, and below was the cruel battlefield, the fat man was flattened by the crashed plane in front of Cage's eyes, there was a rain of bullets everywhere, the panicked Cage saw the battle angel Rita, but before she could talk, she was killed on the spot by the shell concentration, the battlefield situation was out of control, and the imitation seemed to know that the human was ambushed in advance of this operation, because this was a one-sided massacre.
J Squad was destroyed by the mimetic group drilled out of the pit, Cage adjusted his weapon in time to kill the monster in front of him, and before he could be happy for a while, a larger blue mimetic rushed towards him, Cage hurriedly picked up the bomb next to him and blew him to pieces, and he was also eroded by its blue blood, and he died.
The next second, Cage woke up to find himself still in handcuffs at the airport, or the sergeant major came over and said the same thing to him, as if it were yesterday's repetition, and then sent into the J squad, taking a transport plane to the battlefield, everything was the same as he had experienced, until he saw the fat man hit by the plane again, Cage finally understood that everything was repeated, he saw Rita and rushed over to throw her to the ground, lest she be killed, and as a result, she was injured, Rita stood up and left without any thanks, but she was killed by a mock that was drilled out.
This time the airport woke up, Cage knew that tomorrow was about to stage a massacre, he wanted to persuade the sergeant major to abandon the military operation, try to say the name of the sergeant major, including the names of the members of the J squad, for them are the first time to see Cage, it is inevitable strange, but for this Cage who claims to have been to the battlefield tomorrow, everyone still regards him as a deserter, and tapes on his mouth to the battlefield. After jumping off the plane, Cage first rescues the fat man, then finds Rita to rescue her from the side of the transport plane that is about to explode, Rita is rescued and says to Cage, "Remember to come to me when you wake up", and then Cage is killed and wakes up at the airport again.
This time Cage learned to be obedient, completely obeying the orders of the sergeant major, and when following the squad for physical training, he rolled under the passing truck and quietly left with the help of truck cover, and the process alone was repeated many times before it succeeded. After leaving the boot camp, Cage finds Rita and explains to her that they will meet on tomorrow's battlefield, that she let her come to her, and Rita takes Cage to the Doctor, telling him not to mention it to anyone, or he will be sent to a mental hospital or dissected. It is also said that she was once infinitely reborn as a result of the blue mimetic blood, but now she has lost this ability.
The two find a doctor who studies particle physics, he shows Cage the true form of mimesis, indicating that mimesis is a single organism, blue mimesis is called alpha, is the central nervous system of this alien creature, the probability of appearing is 1/618 million, controlling alpha is a brain named Omega, with the ability to control time, once Alpha is killed, it resets time to revive it, but there is also the memory before resurrection, Cage accidentally obtained this ability, the alien ability to predict the future is doomed to their invincibility.
Rita tells Cage that the victory in Verdun was a deliberate defeat by the aliens, convincing humans that they could win in order to devote all their forces to waiting for the mimetic army to slaughter them all, so tomorrow's war is planned by the aliens. In desperation, the Doctor tells Cage that Omega's weakness is to find the location of the brain and eliminate it, so that the mimetic army can be wiped out, and the search for the location of the brain must be done by Cage, and the premise is that he must survive tomorrow's battle.
Next Rita instructed Cage to carry out high-intensity physical fitness and killing technique training, injuries in training will inevitably lose too much blood and lose ability, Rita will take the initiative to shoot cage, let him start over, must not lose blood treatment but should take the initiative to die, so constantly boot restart to accumulate experience, can not be archived, after countless times finally improved the combat ability. Cage also saw the sight from fantasy relying on the Doctor to lock in the location of the Omega, the German Canela Dam.
The next day's battle, the two began to pass the battlefield level, and after countless deaths in exchange for experience, Cage fled to the edge of the battlefield with Rita, came to the abandoned farm, wanted to find the key to the agricultural helicopter, take it to the destination, but because no matter what, as long as the helicopter was started Rita would die here, it was inevitable, so Cage delayed the two of them as long as possible, he did not want to see her die again, but this could not stop Rita who was going to fight, so the ending was destined to start over.
Cage decided not to take his sister to choose to singles to clear the level, when he came to this level, he himself flew a helicopter to the Canela Dam, only to enter the inside but did not see Omega, but there were two waiting for a long time of imitation here to wait for the rabbit, Cage was deceived, just when the imitation wanted to stab him to make it bleed to death, Cage drilled into the water in time to drown himself.
Upon his return, Cage tells the Doctor that he is seeing an alien trap and cannot follow this to find the Omega. In desperation, Rita remembered a device that the Doctor had built that could lock the location of the Omega simply by connecting the Alpha, so the priority now was to find the general to get the equipment confiscated from his safe and leave safely.
Therefore, unlocking the level of finding the equipment, it has been repeated many times, in the face of the stubborn general, Cage demonstrated to him his ability to predict the future convinced him, after getting the equipment began to get rid of the soldiers' pursuit, in the car, Cage checked the equipment on his lap, so as to find Omega's hiding place - the underground parking lot of the Louvre.
Twists and turns, the two drive away from the mech interception and a car accident, Cage wakes up with a blood transfusion, indicating that he has also lost the ability to reset the time, so they only have one chance to face the boss, only success is not allowed to fail, otherwise, the human race will be extinct.
Relying on the appeal of the Angels of Verdun, Cage convinces The J Squad to follow them, and in the end, they must team up to fight monsters. They stole a transport plane to fly to Paris, in front of the Louvre was found and shot down by the mimetic army, J squad fire cover, Rita drove the transport plane to force the Louvre, the two finally came to the Louvre, waiting for them is an alpha, Rita ran to move the tiger away from the mountain to lead the monster, Cage jumped into the water to find the brain Omega, Alpha disposed of Rita and rushed to chase Cage, just as he pierced Cage's body, Cage also pulled the bomb safety, killed Omega, and the mimetic army was completely destroyed.
Cage is eroded by Omega blood and wakes up again on the helicopter, time reset again, only this time, unlike before, when the General declares a complete victory for humanity. Cage still had all the memories of before, he went to the training room to find Rita, although the other party did not know him, but Cage still smiled heartily, after all, he was a comrade in arms who lived and died together.
Perhaps Cage replaced Omega with the ability to control time.
