Chapter 1775: Entering the Ground for Peace
"I don't know how many people in Britain have survived, but I think that's not less. Because as it stands, as long as there is no death during the initial period of the fog, the fog itself alone will not at least kill people. ”
"We had met some other refugees on the road who didn't go with us, but they also survived. In particular, we met a few Dark Wizards not long ago, who claimed to have just escaped from a city near London...... According to them, almost all of the walking corpses formed in the early days of the fog broke out in London, and now the city is crowded with walking corpses inside and out......"
The purple-robed witch had just taken Safina to explain the injuries, and now when she returned to Harry's side, she began to tell about what she had learned during her escape with the Muggles.
To be honest, she doesn't know much. But as a wizard who has survived this catastrophe to this day, her every word is very valuable information to Harry.
After listening to each other's descriptions, everyone's expressions naturally became serious.
"London," Ron muttered, "damn it, it's London again...... Hellpo's guy is probably in London, right? He was clearly settling down in the city of London. ”
And Ginny on the side pondered for a while, and couldn't help asking:
"Ma'am, did the dark wizards you mentioned say anything else? For example, have there been any recent incidents of wizards and living corpses...... Oh, and that's what you call a battle between the 'walking dead'? The kind with a big scene! ”
She obviously thought of the possibility that Maca came here to try to remove the living corpses, but when the other party heard this, she immediately shook her head.
"Small-scale ones happen from time to time, after all, there are still many wizards in the whole of Britain who don't want to give up, you know, we all graduated from Hogwarts, and everyone has feelings for it."
"It's really not easy for you to be able to bring so many Muggles all the way here!" Ginny nodded, "You were also a Hogwarts student, right?" ”
"Oh, yes, I'm a Hufflepuff," the witch smiled, but shook her head slightly, "but I can't include myself among the brave ones...... I heard that many wizards who wanted to form a resistance force had spontaneously gathered and prepared to go to Hogwarts, and they planned to use the school as a starting point to find a way to resist Helpo's atrocities! ”
Speaking of this, she couldn't help but smile bitterly again:
"So, they're the real warriors. And I, apparently, am just a hypocrite who satisfies his little conscience in a shallow way. ”
Before she could finish speaking, the witch glanced at the wounded and finally sighed again.
“…… You see, I haven't even done that well. ”
"You've done a great job!" Harry couldn't help but comfort her, "This disaster is really not something that ordinary people can handle, even Maca ......"
When he subconsciously mentioned Maca, he couldn't continue, because he didn't know what exactly Maca was doing now. Not only that, but he didn't even know if Maca was in England or not.
After all, until now, everything was just speculation.
"Harry," Neville thought for a moment, and suddenly said, "Anyway, when Safina finishes his treatment, we'll send them out!" Although Weymouth is relatively safe, there is no guarantee that the situation like Officer Rowan will not happen a second time. ”
"Well," Harry nodded suddenly, "anyway, a little further past is the dock where we just landed...... Oh, Officer Rowan, do you have anyone here who can steer a boat? ”
Seeing him ask, Luo Wen, who was resting on the side, immediately affirmed:
"I can sail the boat myself."
"That would be great," Harry bowed slightly, "and we'll escort you to the docks in a moment, don't worry, even if you encounter any more walking corpses, it won't hurt you." ”
After Harry had said so, Neville continued:
"So, what about after that? Harry, are we going to go according to our original plan? ”
The "original plan" he was referring to was the reconnaissance route that Hermione had discussed with them before, assuming that London was indeed Helbo's base camp, so they would definitely not go there directly, but chose to take a detour and wander around the area for a while.
In short, it's "walking the arc".
Anyway, they weren't here to deal with Helbo. Even Harry today could not be Helbo's opponent. Their main purpose is to grasp Maka's whereabouts first.
"According to Delphi, there must be some very special marks left everywhere Maca passes by now," Harry said, "so we're going to go ahead with our original plan." Of course, again, be cautious. ”
"It would be dangerous to stay with Mr. McLean, which is why he left us on his own initiative." These were Delphi's exact words, and they were also the precautions that Hermione repeatedly emphasized to the five of them after learning about the situation.
It's not an easy task to find Maca without getting close to him!
"Well," Ron mused, "especially around London...... If Maca were really in the UK, the most likely place to go would be Helpo's lair......"
Everyone rested for a while in the bar, which had been used as a temporary hideout, and checked with each other about what to do next. Seeing that Safina didn't seem to be over for a while, Harry went up the stairs of the bar to the top third floor, and stood out of the window to take a second look.
Unfortunately, the fog is still so thick that you can't see if there are any living corpses around.
He stayed upstairs for a moment, and found it pointless, and went back to the bar downstairs.
And it was at this moment that Safina finally stood up...... Although, the first thing she brought to everyone was not good news.
"This Mr. Hunter, I'm afraid it won't work."
However, except for Harry and the other five, the rest of Officer Rowan and the others did not show much reaction to this. It seems that they have already known it.
"He's so badly wounded, it's a miracle that he's been able to survive until now," said the purple-robed witch, "let him finish the last journey in peace, and then settle into the earth!" If he hadn't been buried in time, he would have become one of those walking corpses. ”
The fog doesn't kill people, but after people die, they will still be affected by the fog, which is the most terrifying thing about this weird gray fog.
No one wants their friends and relatives to become their enemies in the blink of an eye, no one.
