In the blink of an eye, Herowl and the citizens had retreated to the third-floor platform, while the bullies kept surging up. In the lobby, there were other bullies attacking lone citizens on the first floor.

The bullies gathered near the stairs and stopped their attacks, allowing the citizens to catch their breath for a moment. Both sides faced off briefly, with Herowl standing in the middle filming with his camera. It was then that everyone saw the faces of these Plaguemad, all of whom were familiar faces from the southern district.

One of them, a seeming leader, a bully with black feathers all over his body, raised his bat and shouted, "We'll save the southern district by ourselves!" The bully who chased Snowy Owl earlier, a bald eagle, also raised his bat in agreement, leading his henchmen in chanting slogans, "United in the southern district, let's fight the pandemic together!"

Although their words were captured by Herowl, at that moment he was puzzled as to why the Plaguemad were speaking so rationally. But more importantly, he was curious about the content of their slogan. "Huh? Fighting a pandemic? What pandemic are they fighting?" 288Please respect copyright.PENANABP10rfLDCH
Snowy Owl calmly replied, "Didn't I tell you? It's hard to believe, isn't it?"
288Please respect copyright.PENANAMJunohjWt5
After chanting slogans to boost morale, the bullies were high-spirited and launched a new wave of attacks, forcing the citizens on the platform to scatter and flee for their lives, making the situation extremely dangerous.

"Wait, wait, stay behind me and don't stray!" While still organizing his thoughts, Herowl filmed with his camera in his right hand and held Snowy Owl's hand as they retreated, as the attacks were imminent.

A tall, bald bully, King Eagle, attacked while shouting, "You worm causing trouble in City 4!"

The crow also ferociously chased and attacked unarmed fleeing citizens, "We've said it before, if you dare to come to the southern district, you'll see!"

As Herowl heard this while running away, he finally doubted in his heart, "They're not Plaguemad? Instead, they think we are Plaguemad?" At this moment, Herowl realized that Snowy Owl, whom he had been holding onto, was lost in the chaos. Panicked, he searched around for her but to no avail. Despite this, as a reporter, he did not forget to record the terrifying scenes of the chase.

Meanwhile, in the train car, Mrs. Doven, carrying a grocery bag, screamed in horror, "Hey! Don't hit me! I'm not a maggot! I'm not! I'm not!"

Not only that, there were also citizens raising their hands in surrender and clarifying their identities, only to be met with merciless attacks.

"Stop it! We're just ordinary citizens!"288Please respect copyright.PENANAhnhSMO4qhP
"Brothers, we're sorry, we just got off work!"
288Please respect copyright.PENANAyhPI6QJWek
Herowl focused on reporting the situation in front of him. Although he was helpless and unable to save all the citizens, he could capture these scenes to let other viewers who were not present know what happened tonight.288Please respect copyright.PENANAX2OcKketNu
"The audience in front of the screen could see... see a group of South District residents attacking ordinary citizens, this... this was a well-organized attack... the scene was very chaotic! "288Please respect copyright.PENANAjwOPbiXAxm
When Herowl is reporting, he caught a glimpse of a pink figure in the distance running towards the stairs on the platform at the other end of the lobby, he was worried about that snowy owl girl, and because the situation was critical, he was a bit distracted during the report.

The bully, Bald Eagle, who had lost his mask in a dispute, walked towards Herowl filming with his camera. This time, Herowl clearly captured his face.

Knowing that the other party was a rational and communicative normal civilian, Herowl hurriedly pulled out his credentials: "Wait! Stop! I'm a journalist! I'm a journalist!"
288Please respect copyright.PENANA1zeExtrhYH
"You impostor as a journalist, you worm!" Bald Eagle didn't care about these, and swung his stick towards Herowl, whom he assumed to be a worm, and knocked the phone used for filming out of his hand.
288Please respect copyright.PENANAuPkidqC1tX
The screen mercilessly filmed the sky, recording Herowl and the screams of the surrounding citizens, then was smashed by Bald Eagle's claw and the filming was also interrupted.

Some injured citizens fled and collided, and in the chaos, rescued Herowl, planning to escape to the other end of the platform amidst the confusion. However, not everyone was so lucky, and the injured citizens, including Herowl, were forced to the edge of the platform, helplessly gathering together. They held up umbrellas and took out backpacks to defend themselves, hoping the bullies in front of them would stop.

Seeing the citizens being treated like lambs to the slaughter, with fear in their eyes, the bullies all smiled delightfully. The Bald Eagle who had attacked Herowl just now, waved his stick threateningly at the citizens, but accidentally let go of it, and the stick flew between the two sides.

In the stalemate between the two sides, Koey, the cuckoo, stood up, knelt down to the bullies crying for mercy, and slowly picked up the stick. He handed the stick over while crying and pleading: "We are really not worms."
288Please respect copyright.PENANA2NS3BMeGC2
Bald Eagle, expressionless, took the stick, while Koey, in tears, clasped his hands together in a more emotional tone than before: "Brothers, why do we, residents of the South District, have to harm ourselves and kill each other!"
288Please respect copyright.PENANAXSRH8GkFli
"Why..."
288Please respect copyright.PENANA2g0obpcUsU
Before Koey could finish speaking, Bald Eagle struck him on the head with a stick, knocking him to the ground, and even spat: "Pah! Stinking worm, talk too much!"288Please respect copyright.PENANAqusWyBgB9c
