"Ah!"
Witnessing this, the nearby people screamed in terror as blood spurted from the headless corpse.
At this moment, the crowd, rather than gawk, threw down their umbrellas and desperately fled for their lives.
Panic quickly spread. Morimoto Chiyoda sensed something was wrong and swiftly drew her M500.
She hadn't bothered with an umbrella for the light rain, as it wouldn't soak her. But now, she decisively snatched one from a passerby to shield herself from potential sniper fire.
Katerina reacted brashly, charging toward the source of the commotion.
Miyaji Yosuke, Okayama Buji, and others in the van quickly drew their guns but didn't rush out immediately.
They understood that in such chaos, they had to remain calm and avoid further inciting panic among the scattering crowd.
Instead, they had to identify the enemy among the civilians before deciding whether to open fire.
This wasn't an easy decision. The chaos made it highly probable they could hit innocent civilians.
