Wang Xiaobin continued to look at the character designs of these main roles.

The protagonist that the player plays is called Qin Yi, the captain of As-371-45 squad.

His Skylark combat suit also has a special paint job, but different from the flashy feel of the others, he only painted a seal-script character "义" (Yi) on the right shoulder of his combat suit.

The ancient form of the character Yi, "義," consists of "羊" (yang, sheep) above and "我" (wo, I) below.

The squad number means that this squad belongs to the Asian Fleet (abbreviated as As) Starship 371, squad number 45.

In addition to Qin Yi, there are four other members in the squad, each with different personalities.

Xu Kaile, optimistic and positive, is a young man with delicate emotions. The paint job on his combat suit is various cute anime girls;

Meng Yu, short, taciturn, but very reliable at critical moments. The paint job on his combat suit is camouflage;

Zhao Yongxiu, sometimes makes people feel childish, clumsy, and somewhat concerned about face, is good at adjusting the atmosphere of the team. The paint job on his combat suit looks like a mecha, highlighting a cool appearance;

Wu Shaojun, tall and straightforward, is the oldest and most trustworthy teammate. His combat suit has no special paint job, but has many scratches that haven't been repaired intentionally.

The story outline provided clearly states the general plot flow, but some details are not perfect enough, including lines and so on are not clearly given.

After all, this is just the first version, and it needs to be continuously improved later, and Wang Xiaobin's opinion is also very important.

The structure of the plot is very simple, divided into five parts, each part consists of real-time rendered cutscene CGs and battles within the game.

Because it is only a DLC attached to the game *Sea Fortress*, time is tight, so there is no need to make those particularly detailed cutscene CGs, real-time rendering is sufficient.

Part 1:

As-371-45 squad successfully infiltrates the zerg nest, clearing the surrounding larvae and worker bees.

Because it is located on the periphery of the zerg nest and the number of zerg is small, it doesn't matter if all the larvae or worker bees are killed directly if they are discovered, the battle is relatively simple.

During the execution of the mission, all team members can communicate in real time through voice communication, they will discuss this operation, looking forward to killing the zerg queen and ending the war.

Artificial intelligence will continue to issue orders to the protagonist, analyze the battlefield situation, and guide the protagonist to make the right decisions.

Part 2:

After penetrating deep into the nest, they begin to encounter more and more powerful zerg, including zerglings and banelings that are hatching. The difficulty of the battle in this stage gradually increases, and most of the time the correct strategy must be adopted, for example, be careful when dealing with banelings, otherwise the acid splashed by the baneling's explosion will cause serious damage to the team members.

Here, the team members begin to encounter some trouble and need to help each other, but the overall mentality is still relatively positive.

Artificial intelligence will still guide the protagonist to make the best decisions, and listening to the artificial intelligence's suggestions will significantly reduce the difficulty of the battle.

Part 3:

The zerg swarm begins to continue to increase, gradually exceeding the team's limited combat capabilities. In the process of penetrating deep into the zerg nest, they discover the incomplete limbs or combat suit fragments of other squads, and the time to catch their breath after the battle becomes extremely precious.

Some team members begin to lose their composure. After wandering under the zerg nest for a long time without finding any trace of the Queen, they see too many other dead squads. Without logistical support, they begin to question the combat success rate calculated by artificial intelligence, believing that they will be buried here.

However, the team members cheer each other up and insist on continuing to move forward.

Artificial intelligence continues to analyze data and direct the battle as always, and insists on the original statement in the face of the team members' doubts.

Part 4:

The squad's actions have alarmed the zerg swarm. Although the main force of the zerg is not in the zerg nest, even worker bees, zerglings and banelings, as long as there are enough of them, can pose a huge threat to the squad.

Countless zergs are pouring in from all directions, and the retreat route has been completely cut off, so they can only continue to move forward. In order to block the zerg swarm behind them, a seriously injured team member stays behind and detonates the miniature reactor in his chest.

After finally gaining a chance to catch their breath, Qin Yi finds that only a few members of his squad who came to carry out the mission with him have survived.

What's even more terrifying is that the squad accidentally discovers fragments of combat suits deep in the zerg nest. These are fragments of the Skylark II combat suit, which means that humans had already carried out a decapitation operation before, but it was not successful, and the artificial intelligence concealed this information.

The team members are completely desperate.

The protagonist questions the artificial intelligence, but still gets no answer. The team members find that there is no turning back, so they can only continue to move forward and decide to complete their mission at all costs.

Part 5:

The squad advances in despair following the analysis of the artificial intelligence. In order to cover their teammates, the team members die one by one.

The protagonist, with the determination to die, wants to fulfill the wishes of his teammates. But in the end, he and the only other surviving teammate are still overwhelmed by the endless zerg sea.

Strangely, these zergs do not kill them, but take them to the depths of the zerg nest.

The protagonist finally sees the zerg Queen, its bloated and huge body is disgusting.

The two want to detonate the miniature reactors on their bodies to die together, but for some reason the artificial intelligence seems to be disconnected, or is subject to strange interference, and cannot be detonated with artificial intelligence control.

The surviving team member is taken to the zerg Queen, and he immediately lets out a sharp scream, not knowing what the zerg Queen did to him. He dies just two minutes later.

The protagonist is also taken to the zerg Queen, and also lets out a scream, as if countless needles are piercing his brain. But he does not die immediately like his teammate, but stubbornly persists.

He persists in taking a pistol from the Skylark combat suit, wanting to fire a bullet from the breastplate crack caused by the battle to completely destroy the miniature reactor and cause an explosion.

But this still does not succeed, the zerg's chitinous claws pierce his right hand, and the pistol falls to the ground.

In his dying moments, the protagonist feels that his mind seems to be blank, and the sharp sound that stings his brain also slowly moves away from him, as if turning into a low murmur...

At the last moment, he feels a violent tremor around him, and the ceiling deep underground suddenly collapses, and he seems to see many soldiers in Skylark combat suits breaking in, as well as large drilling machines...

The story ends here, leaving an open ending.

In addition, the story outline also emphasizes that there should be a lot of lines in the battle or rest state, and the lines of each person should conform to their persona.

With the emotional changes in the five stages, the lines of each character will also change. At the beginning, everyone thinks they can complete the mission, but as time goes by, they begin to become pessimistic and even desperate.

In addition, the story outline also specifically emphasizes a key piece of information:

At the beginning, the information that all the team members had was: this is the first time that humans have carried out a decapitation plan against the zerg, and there are hundreds of teams carrying out this mission at the same time. Artificial intelligence has roughly locked the location of the zerg Queen, and the main force of humans is fighting against the main force of the zerg on the planet, ready to provide support at any time.

Therefore, the team members believe that the success rate of this mission is very high. Once the zerg Queen is successfully beheaded, the war between humans and the zerg will usher in dawn.

But as the battle continues to deepen, the team members' beliefs are also constantly shaken.

In the battle, they also encounter members of other squads, some of whom have already sacrificed and only a few fragments of armor remain, and some of whom are desperately dying together with the zerg.

In the zerg nest, they find some fragments of Skylark combat suits, many of which are obviously not left over from this operation, which shows that it is obviously not the first time that humans have carried out decapitation operations.

The team members gradually feel that they may not be able to hold on any longer, and they are becoming more and more desperate, but there is no turning back, so they can only continue to move forward.

In the battle gap after killing the zerg, the team members talk about the life form of this creature:

The zerg hardly have individual consciousness, and they don't care about the life and death of individuals in order to carry out the zerg Queen's consciousness completely; they can share information using telepathy within a large range. The zerg Queen has a high level of intelligence, so the zerg's tactical level is no less than that of humans.

In addition, the zerg's weapon organs are organ-like, the logistical requirements are extremely simple, and the reproduction is very rapid, so attrition warfare is meaningless.

Only by beheading the zerg Queen can the current unfavorable situation be fundamentally changed.

Therefore, although all the team members are desperate in the later stage and feel that they can no longer go back alive, they still firmly carry out the mission because the only meaning of their lives is to kill the zerg Queen.

As long as the mission is successful, the war can be ended, which can be regarded as a worthy death.

But obviously, this mission is a mission destined to fail, because if it were successful, there would be no story of *Mission and Choice*.

……

After reading the entire story outline, Wang Xiaobin has a rough idea of what he needs to do.

This story outline explains the entire game process, character settings and even some dialogue details very clearly. Next, he only needs to refine the entire process and complete the dialogue.

However, there are still many mysteries in this story outline, and the ending is open.

Did the zerg Queen die in the end?

Did the protagonist survive?

This is obviously not the first decapitation operation, why did the artificial intelligence conceal this fact?

What is the relationship between the protagonist in this DLC and the protagonist in the *Mission and Choice* plot?

Obviously, these contents are related to the plot of *Mission and Choice* in the future, and Zhu Xiaoce does not want to reveal them at this time.

The *Sea Fortress* DLC is to warm up the new game, and it is considered an introduction. These questions will keep players discussing and maintaining popularity.

If you want to answer these questions, you can only wait for the plot of *Mission and Choice* to be revealed.

Wang Xiaobin suppressed his curiosity and immediately began to prepare for development.
