They underestimated the number of enemies that were outside, but they could not identify how many were out there until they stepped out.
Once they made their way out of the van, their eyes widened in shock as they saw the gathered crowd of people who had swarmed toward their location in an instant.
It was a situation where there were two against many.
They may have armed themselves with what they brought with them, but that would do them little good when they were severely outnumbered and the enemy had weapons of their own.
A command came toward them in an instant. "On your knees now! Drop your weapon and keep your hands above your heads!"
The previous fear they had toward the future that had overrode the present situation seemed to go more in favour of the present situation once more.
The situation they were in was hopeless, and it did not seem likely that there would be even the slimmest of chances they would be able to make it out if they kept fighting.
