After the main mission changed, the players also noticed the countdown in the lower right corner of the mission panel. It was exactly twelve hours, and three and a half minutes had passed.
In other words, they had to kill all five of Loki's avatars in the remaining eleven hours and fifty-six and a half minutes. This was the only way to weaken Loki's power as much as possible.
The time … was pretty tight.
Rat and the others were still thinking about where to start. They did not expect that Zhang Heng had already found Loki's first avatar. They were not fools. When Zhang Heng reminded them to close the door, they immediately reacted.
The fly, one of Loki's avatars in Norse mythology. In the story of the search for the golden-haired man, Loki made a bet with a gnome. In order to win the bet, Loki transformed into a fly and bit Blok's hand when the gnome was pulling the bellows. Unfortunately, he lost the bet in the end, but with Loki's cunning, he managed to escape punishment.
Kratos reacted quickly and closed the door before the first fly flew out of the room. That wasn't all. He then used a towel to block the gap between the door and the door. The others didn't stay idle either. Some of them checked the windows, and some blocked the air vent of the air conditioner. They had to keep all the flies in the room.
After all the preparatory work was done, the two military trucks parked downstairs of the Pripyaji Hotel.
Zhang Heng looked out the window. If he was right, the militia should be here for Shelbina. He just did not know if they had received news of the vice president's death.
"What should we do?" Rat asked anxiously. Initially, Shelbina's death had nothing to do with them. However, they had to get rid of the flies in the room, and they could not let the militia break into the hotel. If they really opened the door, even if they said that Shelbina's death had nothing to do with them, no one would believe them.
Zhang Heng knew that this was a big trap that Loki had dug for them. If the players and the militia team had a conflict, there would be trouble waiting for them in the future. However, this was an overt plot. Even if they knew it was a trap, they had to stop the militia team at this critical juncture in order to kill Loki's avatar.
So Zhang Heng said, "Leave the people downstairs to me. You guys stay here and get rid of these flies."
After that, Zhang Heng walked to the door. After making sure that no flies followed him, Kratos removed the towel blocking the door, and Zhang Heng quickly opened the door and left.
It was useless to reason with them at a time like this, so Zhang Heng skipped that step. He found a room with a window that faced downstairs and nocked an arrow.
The commander was waiting for his team members to assemble. The next moment, an arrow flew out of nowhere and hit him in the right chest. Zhang Heng did not kill him. He had no grudges with him, and the most important reason was that the wounded needed someone to take care of them. Corpses, on the other hand, did not need to be taken care of.
Zhang Heng's goal was to pin down these two vehicles as much as possible, buying time for the players in the room to kill one of Loki's avatars. Therefore, creating more casualties was naturally a better choice for him.
Not only did Zhang Heng's arrow render the commander incapacitated, but two of the militia members also risked being shot to drag their commander to the back of the truck to take care of him. As a result, the militia downstairs had lost three members.
Zhang Heng's first shot was successful, and he quickly nocked a second arrow. He then poked his head and looked down, locking his eyes on a man who looked like a squad leader from the crowd. He then quickly released the bowstring.
The previous scene happened again. After the captain fell to the ground, his men dragged him to safety. At the same time, some militiamen finally discovered Zhang Heng's position and began to raise their guns to fight back.
By this time, Zhang Heng had already left the previous room and ran down the fire escape to the first floor, just in time to see a group of militia entering the lobby under the cover of gunfire.
Unfortunately for them, they ran into Zhang Heng head-on. This time, Zhang Heng used his Rapid Arrow technique and shot three arrows in a row. Although all of them hit their targets, the accuracy was not as good as before. One of the arrows hit a militia's lower abdomen, and the other pierced a militia's thigh.
But this time, the others also stopped and began to look for cover, not daring to move forward. Zhang Heng also ran behind the front desk. After the residents of Pripyat evacuated, the town's electricity was also cut off. The hotel lobby, which had always been brightly lit, was now plunged into darkness. This made it easier for Zhang Heng to move around.
Zhang Heng released two more arrows in the dark and finally forced the militia that went deep into the lobby to retreat.
But at this time, the headlights of one of the trucks lit up, illuminating the lobby as if it was daytime. Then, two more groups of militias took over the previous squad's duties and rushed to the hotel lobby in a triangular formation.
Zhang Heng did not leave immediately. Instead, he continued to lurk behind the front desk, listening to the approaching footsteps outside.
After counting in his heart for three seconds, Zhang Heng pulled his bow to the fullest again, leaned forward, and shot two arrows in a row. The militia closest to him was startled, and he subconsciously squatted down. As a result, the enemy who had never missed before missed this time. Even two arrows failed to hit him, and the militia was overjoyed.
But his joy only lasted for less than half a second. The two arrows that flew past his body accurately hit their target — the truck's headlights. The hotel lobby darkened again.
After that, Zhang Heng simply pulled out a knife and jumped out from behind the front desk.
He fell into the crowd, and the militiamen outside and inside the lobby could no longer shoot because they were worried about their companions. Zhang Heng, on the other hand, could swing the knife in his hand without any hesitation. Other than that, Zhang Heng also took the time to shoot the headlights of another car. It only took him half a minute to take down the two teams that entered the lobby, and he even took a hostage.
Because he was worried that the militiamen might be carrying large-scale explosive weapons such as grenades, Zhang Heng did not retreat to the front desk. Instead, he retreated to the fire escape. Before he left, he released the militia he captured. Of course, the latter was also injured, and he could no longer fight.
In the blink of an eye, Zhang Heng had defeated three teams. But compared to the total number of people outside the hotel this time, the number of injured was less than a third. The militiamen outside had enough energy to continue attacking. However, they were shocked by Zhang Heng's terrifying combat power, and the fact that the commander was killed as soon as he appeared. At this moment, no one dared to enter the lobby, even when they saw Zhang Heng retreating to the fire escape.
Zhang Heng, who was trying to buy time, was happy to see the current stalemate. He did not launch another attack. Instead, he took advantage of the melee battle to loot two rifles and went back upstairs without a hitch.
