Chapter 1816: Breaking through the enemy group
A living corpse, a living corpse, a living corpse;
Enemies, enemies, all enemies.
Before, everyone thought that so many people in the whole of Britain, except for a few who were transferred out of the country one after another, and a very small number of those who were able to leave on their own, did not escape this man-made catastrophe.
So, where did all the living corpses that those people turned into go? If it was really dragged by Helpo to the vicinity of London, what kind of spectacular sea of people would it be?
But now, before anyone has even been to London, they have already seen this nightmarish spectacle.
As he continued to make his way to Winchester, Harry realized how dusty Gryffindor could be and how stained he was with blood; Ron and Ginny also understood that a modern wand would look heavy no matter how light and wielded it was; Even Mr. Blois, after constantly casting his magic, felt the exhaustion he hadn't felt in a long time.
It is impossible for people to fight all the time, and the possibility of a head-on breakthrough seems to be very slim to them. Originally, they also wanted to reduce the number of living corpses to facilitate Hermione's subsequent counterattack, but after only half a day's attempt, Harry and Mr. Blois decided to abandon this unrealistic idea.
However, as the journey to Winchester drew nearer to the halfway point, Harry began to find that even if they were flying in the air on a broomstick, they were starting to have to deal with an increasing number of advanced living corpses that could also fly through the air.
They had encountered these flying living corpses before, but to be honest, it was the first time that they had been encountering a large number of flying living corpses like this.
And it can be seen that because they have different degrees of evolution, there seems to be subtle differences in the direction of evolution.
Some are quite large and powerful; Some are smaller, but not much slower than a broomstick flying at full speed; There were even individuals who were able to unleash some magic, hiding among the other living corpses, much to Harry's death.
So, as a matter of course...... After the enthusiasm and impulse at the beginning were gradually worn out by the frequent battles, they couldn't help but feel a deep sense of worry about the future journey.
If this continues, the closer you get to your destination, the more likely these living corpses will evolve. That...... The thought of the strength of the enemy they would eventually have to face made both Mr. Blois and Harry frown.
"Miss Blois...... Will it really be in Winchester? โ
Harry lifted his sword and shook it hard as he spoke, and the viscous red-black plasma of the living corpse was thrown off. But even so, the sword body, which had always seemed to be shining like a mirror, now seemed to be covered with a faint blush.
"If it weren't for Winchester, it might be London."
On his side, Mr. Blois obviously did not need a broom to fly, but it would be more burdensome over time. So now, he also rides a broomstick, which makes his original majestic image somewhat unstable.
And the two of them have been in front of Ron and the other four to clear the way for them.
"London?" Hearing this, Harry's brows suddenly furrowed even tighter, "With so many living corpses, I believe that Helbo is very likely to be in London...... And since Helmau was there, I don't think Miss Blois could have stayed there too, unlessโ"
"I know what you're trying to say," Blois said lightly, "unless Willy is controlled by that guy." โ
When he said this, his tone was quite calm, because even if he wanted to be angry, he didn't have the strength to show it right now. Only the vaguely audible feeling of gnashing his teeth between his words can make people realize that his anger has never been extinguished by reality.
"Be careful, sir."
Suddenly, Harry pulled the handle of his broomstick and slick it from under Blois to his other side, then slashed at a high-speed corpse that slashed at the speed.
"Thank you."
Mr. Blois was clearly not surprised by this, as Harry had already helped him block more than one close-range attack as a melee fighter along the way.
In the same way, Blois controlled the summoned Flame Wyvern to clear a large number of ordinary flying living corpses for Harry and the others.
It was the tacit cooperation between the two of them that kept the speed of advance from being reduced too much by the increasingly dense enemies, and also allowed Ron and the others, who were still a little short of their own strength, to avoid any unsolvable dangers.
However, it can be seen from their state at this time that if they continue to hold on, it will be a matter of time before something goes wrong.
"Mr. Blois, let's go down and find a place to rest for the time being!"
Blois hesitated for Harry's offer, but finally nodded.
"Boom-"
Seeing that he controlled the flame flying dragon that was still killing the enemy in front of him, he suddenly turned around, and with a flickering flame and majestic momentum, he suddenly rushed straight through the fog to the ground.
The moment it was about to hit the ground, its entire body made of flames exploded, turning into a raging rain of fire and pouring out.
Although this self-detonating large-scale attack cannot pose a threat to some living corpses with a high degree of evolution, it can be used to clean up ordinary living corpses, and the effect is extremely significant.
Obviously, the ordinary living corpses on the ground still occupy the majority.
After an entire block was reduced to scorched earth and broken ruins, Harry and the others rode down on their broomsticks, clearing the remaining corpses one by one.
After a few moments, they chose a house that was still in good condition and used it as a temporary resting place.
"Mr. Blois, Harry, rest after your hard work, and Neville and I will take care of the guard."
Ron took the initiative to monitor the situation around him, and soon pulled Neville to stand guard.
Although this area has just been "cleaned", it is not far from Salisbury, and it has reached the place where the previous corpse tide outbreak was more serious, and the density of living corpses here is quite high. The two of them estimated that it would not be long before Ansheng would find the enemy swaying from the periphery.
Therefore, Blois and Harry did not refuse Ron's kindness - their two main combat forces do need a while to recover their strength, after all, the next battle will depend on them!
As for Ginny and Hannah...... Hermione had given them some Grim Cards when she had separated from them in Yeovil Town, and now they were trying to set up a relatively simple protective formation according to Hermione's instructions beforehand.
The fighting is not going to stop, but will intensify.
