The screams weren't coming from just one or two people. A whole crowd was screaming. And naturally, more than one or two figures came rushing out of the smoke. For a moment, I couldn't even count how many there were. There had to be seven or eight at least. That was already a lot, and then even more people ran out.
Just as we stood there, dumbfounded, screams came from another direction too.
