Chapter 1774: A nostalgic title
"We came from Salisbury – in fact, we had planned to go south-east, all the way to Southampton to find a boat to escape from England. But there were too many dangers along the way, and we found that we must not go south, there are more walking corpses there! ”
"So while hiding and fleeing, I found out that we had arrived at Weymouth......"
The officer's name was Rowan, and according to him, he was originally a SWAT officer in Salisbury. In this great disaster, he could only be regarded as an inconspicuous ordinary person, but for those real ordinary people...... Even for an ordinary policeman, he at least has guns and bullets.
You must know that British police are not allowed to carry guns in their regular duties. So even though his bullets weren't very good against the walking corpses, after he happened to dodge the first wave of the most terrifying wave of corpses, he still barely had the ability to protect himself.
No, not only that, but he even saves one or two once in a while.
"Originally, there were thirty-six survivors in our group at its peak," Officer Rowan said, shaking his head, "but unfortunately, the number of rescuers since then has never exceeded the losses on the way—until now, we have only a dozen or so left, and a small half of them have been wounded." ”
As he walked forward with Harry and the others, he lowered his voice as he told about his team. Just listening to his narration, everyone can already understand the difficulty of their escape journey.
Harry, who was on the side, listened and couldn't help but be relieved:
"At least you've saved a lot of people...... Without you, they wouldn't have been able to get here. ”
But Officer Rowan listened, but could only sigh.
"Those of us who survived happened to be hiding in a near-confined room when the fog erupted, and in fact, when I found these friends, they were still hiding in places like basements, some of which even had plenty of food and fresh water." He said, "Actually, if I hadn't taken them away, they might still be alive and well!" You say I saved them, but who knows if I only gave them a glimmer of false hope? ”
His words made the friends not know what to say - yes, maybe they will starve to death in the basement and die of thirst, but it may not really be impossible to survive until the end of this, right?
No one can jump to conclusions until the final outcome comes.
"And even if taking them away is really helping them, it's not me who actually let the remaining ten or so friends survive." Officer Rowan paused, then added, "On our third day from Salisbury, we met two wizards. And it was the desperate escort of the two of them that allowed us to escape with minimal loss when we were surrounded by many walking corpses several times...... Oh, this way. ”
As he spoke, he seemed to have brought Harry and the others to his temporary location.
As far as the eye can see, this should be a bar. Because the entrance is on a small road, the original owner also installed a telescopic fence gate outside the door, which looks very safe.
"Come and open the door! I found some reliable helpers! ”
Before he could finish speaking, he saw a young man's face emerge from inside the door, looking at Officer Rowan and Harry and the others behind him. Seeing that Rowan nodded, he opened the lock with a "click", and creaked the fence door to the side a little.
"Come in!"
They bowed slightly to Harry and stepped aside, but the wariness in their eyes hadn't completely subsided. Obviously, the current disaster has also brought more suspicion to these survivors.
"Let's go."
Harry gestured to his companions and then walked in the first place in their sight, and everyone immediately followed.
"Whoa-la-"
The iron fence gate was re-closed.
……
Probably due to the lack of natural light, the interior was a little darker than expected - after all, this is a bar and it doesn't need too many windows.
Once inside, Harry found that the round table had been largely pushed aside, and several people were lying on the floor with pained faces on their faces.
However, the person who really caught Harry's attention at a glance was undoubtedly the woman in the robes who was sitting by the bar and looking this way.
The lady looked to be about thirty years old, and her purple and black-trimmed robe made him know at a glance that it was a witch. As for the small crucible that was sitting on the bar, with wisps of green smoke, her identity was revealed.
And when Harry and the others looked at her, she was looking back this way. It could even be found that after staring at Harido carefully for a few moments, she also showed a sudden expression.
"The boy who didn't die?" I heard the other party speak first, "Oh! Is it Harry Potter? ”
"That's a nostalgic title!" Harry shrugged his shoulders and led everyone over to her, "Yes, you can call me Harry...... I have to say that this title is still very accurate, at least I am still alive, which is indeed a miracle. ”
Harry said jokingly, but there wasn't much of a smile on his face—after all he had been through, he couldn't laugh a little bit at the fact that he had been in front of him.
"Ma'am, I think the pleasantries can be left for a while," he said, looking back at the wounded on the ground, "we just happened to have a young lady who is good at healing, and I believe she can relieve everyone's injuries." ”
"Oh, that's great! My White Fresh Essence has long been used up, and it is difficult to achieve the desired effect due to the lack of materials for other potions," the witch hurriedly said, "May I ask who is Miss Healer?" ”
As the witch spoke, Harry turned around and gestured at Safina's chin.
"Well, of course."
Safina nodded slightly, and followed the other towards the wounded.
"Seriously, if only I could have met you sooner." Officer Rowan sighed again from the side, "By the way, I think I still have to apologize to you again!" I'm sorry at that time—"
"It's okay," Harry said, waving his hand, "you have so many people to take care of, you can't do anything, we can understand it." ”
"Thank you."
Rowan thanked him again, and then suddenly frowned as if he had thought of something, but finally shook his head and put his mind aside for the time being—he had planned to go to the mall again to get some food and water, but unfortunately he had just arrived there and met a living corpse.
Anyway, meeting Harry was his greatest luck today, wasn't it?
