Shen Xixi realized that they were in a precarious situation.
Not only was the faceless man and Old K likely to have fallen into the enemy's hands, but the tri-color spiral cylindrical lamp's effective time was not infinite. It could only last for 160 seconds. After 160 seconds, the four teams on Arc of Light's side would naturally be freed, and half of the time had already passed.
Therefore, Shen Xixi had no intention of talking nonsense with them anymore. She gave Rabbit on the other side a look, and the two approached Lil Bing together. However, the latter did not resist, turning around and running away. At the same time, four more teams appeared on both ends of the road, surrounding Shen Xixi and the other two.
Lil Bing stopped after running for two steps. She turned around and smiled.
She didn't know that the cylindrical lamp in front of the barbershop only lasted for 160 seconds. She ran away to lure Shen Xixi and Rabbit out of the effective range of the cylindrical lamp, preparing for the battle later.
However, just when she thought that everything was ready, a flare suddenly fell in front of her.
The strong light made everyone on the street close their eyes involuntarily.
When Lil Bing opened her eyes again, Shen Xixi and the other two had disappeared.
After midnight, the war between Arc of Light and the union finally began in the urban village.
The early stages of the battle were similar to what the players expected. Arc of Light showed an absolute advantage from the very beginning. What was really surprising was the strength of Shen Xixi's side. From the moment Horizon announced that he would withdraw from the union, the union had completely collapsed in less than an hour.
According to the statistical analysis of Arc of Light's strategy department, Shen Xixi should not have many people left. However, when the battle started, Arc of Light realized that this was not the case.
They had underestimated Shen Xixi's prestige and influence in the union.
Not only were Shen Xixi and the other two rescued in front of the barbershop, but Lil Bing also received news that Arc of Light's operation team that captured Old K and the faceless man were also killed.
However, after receiving the news, she was not surprised but happy. For Arc of Light, this was a war they could not lose. In that case, she did not mind a little twists and turns in the process. Otherwise, how could she highlight the importance of the strategy department, and she would have a reason to ask for more funding next time?
…
In a hotel room two kilometers away from the urban village, Zhang Heng set up the CS5 on the windowsill, turned on the TV, and turned up the volume.
He did not immediately intervene in the battle in the urban village. Other than believing that Shen Xixi would not be defeated so quickly, he had more important things to do.
Zhang Heng was in luck. Using the time halt, he found one of Arc of Light's frontline commanders and obtained a copy of tonight's action plan. Although it was only a simplified version, Arc of Light's approximate operation time, route, and personnel deployment were all explained.
Other than that, Zhang Heng also obtained the latter's account and password in the Arc of Light's internal OA.
However, Arc of Light also had computer experts. Zhang Heng had once tried to hack into the player forum jointly created by the three major guilds, but to no avail. Of course, with the USB flash drive obtained from the Whistleblower quest, the three major guilds could not locate him through the anti-tracking technology.
Arc of Light's internal OA was at the same level of defense as the players' forum, and it was not easy to breach. However, with the account and password, Zhang Heng could lurk inside and get some first-hand information about Arc of Light's movements.
His first target tonight was a group of Arc of Light's elite long-range attack team.
Zhang Heng could purchase the CS5 from the bartender lady with points, and Arc of Light could naturally buy firearms from the game checkpoint as well. As one of the three major guilds, there was no shortage of gun-wielding experts among their players.
Arc of Light's original plan was to capture Shen Xixi's team alive, and there was no need to mobilize long-range firepower. Now that the situation had changed, it was proven that there were still many people on Shen Xixi's side in the disintegrated union. Arc of Light did not intend to hold back any longer.
They also needed to use this opportunity to warn the remaining people to stay put and not get involved.
Once these people rushed to the urban village, the fragile balance would soon be broken.
And Zhang Heng was now making sure that this situation would not happen.
Through the scope, Zhang Heng saw two black MPVs driving past the traffic lights not far away. Just as they were speeding all the way to the urban village, two remote-controlled ground locks suddenly appeared on the road in front of them. The driver of the first car apparently did not expect to see such a thing in the middle of the road. He hurriedly stepped on the brakes and swerved. Although he managed to avoid the remote ground lock in front of him, he could not avoid the impact from the car behind him. The car flipped over and rolled twice on the ground.
At the same time, Zhang Heng, who was in the guest room, pulled the trigger.
The first name on the Grim Reaper's list had appeared.
The driver of the second car was shot in the head by a bullet that came out of nowhere. His right foot slipped off the brake pad, and he did not continue to slow down. After knocking over the first car, he slammed into the remote ground lock diagonally, and the people in the car fell to the ground.
The people in the first car also fell to the ground. They did not expect to be ambushed, thinking it was some kind of traffic accident. However, this road was relatively remote, and it was after midnight. There were no other cars on the road except for them. And soon, the whistling bullets answered their doubts.
The first person who got up from the car fell to the ground again before he could stand up. Blood splattered on the seat. Only then did the others realize what had happened. They were all gunmen, and naturally, they knew that they had encountered a sniper. They quickly unfastened their seat belts and looked for cover.
In less than ten seconds, Arc of Light had lost another three players.
The two six-man squads were now left with only seven members. Fortunately, these seven were also battle-hardened veterans. They used this time to grab their weapons and retreat to the back of the car, hoping to maintain a stalemate with Zhang Heng and wait for reinforcements to arrive.
However, Zhang Heng obviously could not let this happen. Seeing that the Arc of Light members had retreated to the back of the car, Zhang Heng detonated the tear gas from the trash can on the side of the road.
The pungent smell irritated the eyes and nose of the seven people behind the car, causing them to cough violently and tear up. However, they also saw a glimmer of hope. The white smoke from the tear gas was also a good cover. If they could take the opportunity to retreat to the closed supermarket behind them, they would no longer have to worry about their lives.
What they did not know was that the attacker on the opposite building had also taken out a Filter Lens from his backpack.
