"Gods help us!"
"Ahhh! Monster! There's a monster!"
"He's going to eat me! I want to get out of here!"
The civilians acted as they would upon seeing their very first Canzer. All the preparations and the warnings the professional Saviors gave them were all thrown out the window once they were faced with an actual giant Canzer that could swallow ten humans in one go without a single problem.
Their instincts as humans took over, and they panicked. They started to back away from the monster, no matter if there was somebody else they had to crawl over.
It created chaos and injuries that could have been totally prevented if they had just remained calm and stayed in their positions.
And there was no use in them trying to crawl up the walls for safety. If the creature wanted to kill them, then it didn't matter if they tried to run 10 kilometers away from this location. The Basilisk would be able to find them and kill them without a problem.
