Reno's words seemed to anger the werewolf.

He bared his teeth and uttered a muffled voice, "Hey, kid, don't be cocky, I could have torn you apart, then you would never hear human words again."

Reno reached out, and the gun that had flown out returned to his hand with a swish.

With both guns raised, the barrels aimed at the winged woman and the werewolf respectively: "If you had spoken earlier, maybe we wouldn't have to fight."

"It's a misunderstanding. We thought you were a guard," the winged woman replied.

"Is the misunderstanding resolved now?" Reno asked.

"That won't do," another voice piped up.

At the ventilation duct at the other end of the corridor, a head popped out, it was the lizard man from before.

He waggled the long tongue in his mouth at Reno and emitted a sinister laugh, "He killed Charlie and injured me."

"So, we're still fighting?" Reno retorted.

Another gun floated from him, the one he had previously snatched from the guard's hand.

The gun hovered in the air, its barrel aimed at the lizard man.

"Good telekinesis, but the question is, how many guns do you have?" Another heavy voice came from the other end.

It was the bear-man Beppolga.

He strode over, causing the ground to tremble with his steps.

The wounds Reno had inflicted on him seemed to have no effect at all. Reno could see bullets being squeezed out of his muscles, dropping to the ground, and then the wounds began to heal.

Even a real bear couldn't do that.

"More than you'd imagine," Reno replied bluntly.

As he spoke, four silver metal wheels rolled thunderously down the corridor, stopping nearby and automatically opening, extending two gun barrels towards everyone.

It was the search robots Reno had called earlier.

At the same time as the four search robots appeared, several figures of beastified humans appeared in the corridor passage.

Both sides immediately reached a stalemate.

"Hey, wait." Sarah, the female doctor from the other side, called out, "Why can't you just stop fighting? We have no grudges against each other, it's all just a misunderstanding."

Everyone looked at her.

The female doctor shrunk her neck, though afraid, she still gathered the courage to speak: "Enough people have died. It's all over, the hospital is finished, and you're free now. Why can't we let bygones be bygones and avoid killing each other? Haven't you suffered enough? Why stay here waiting for the federal government to come and capture you?"

This finally had an effect.

The beastified people's eyes towards Reno finally changed.

The werewolf said, "Little Sarah is right, our enemy is the New Federation, not each other."

"But Charlie..." the lizard man exclaimed.

"Let it go, perhaps it's a good thing for Charlie, at least he doesn't have to live as a monster in this world anymore, and we, we still bear the torment of being non-human..." Beppolga replied.

His deep voice was tinged with heaviness and sorrow.

No matter how powerful he was, he wouldn't like his current appearance.
