Chapter 63: Basilisk A is coming

At the beginning of the formation of the research team to deal with the basilisk, Zhang Xu led everyone to formulate a plan to deal with the basilisk.

At the beginning, Zhang Xu guided everyone, and after everyone became familiar with the process, a series of plans were released in discussions again and again.

The program is broadly divided into two steps.

When the basilisk appears, the first step is to evacuate the students and guide them to evacuate.

Through the campus PA system, ghosts, and communicators, students are notified to take shelter in the nearest common room as soon as possible.

If you are too far from the common room, take shelter in the cafeteria, the nearest classroom, or the offices of the four deans.

Professor Dumbledore then used the privilege of being able to transform apparitions in Hogwarts Castle to bring the assembled students back to the common room.

If Professor Dumbledore is not at school, this is to be done by Professor McGonagall under the orders of the house-elves in the kitchen.

If you are a student outside the castle, take refuge in Hagrid's hut.

When the evacuation of the students is complete, the second step is to destroy the basilisk.

The plan to destroy the basilisk, the first priority is for the "defenders" to stick to the various common rooms, and then Dumbledore and the professors will solve the basilisk.

The second is that Dumbledore and the professors don't have time to make a move, so the "defenders" need to take action to delay time.

The worst outcome is that the "defenders" will destroy the basilisk themselves.

In the final series of solutions, various contingencies and corresponding treatment methods are taken into account.

The best solution was for the Slytherin heir to run into a passing Dumbledore while doing trouble, and then be pressed against the wall by Dumbledore.

The worst-case scenario is to organize death squads to desperately drag down the basilisk and use their lives to buy time for the students to evacuate Hogwarts Castle.

The candidates for the death squad are students from the magic family, who have strong magical strength and are not only children in the family, voluntarily sign up.

Most of these daredevils are students from the Snake Academy.

In this secret room incident, the students of the Snake Academy experienced a mental storm. Between representing the Slytherin Heirs of the past and Hogwarts Tranquility, they ultimately chose the latter.

The current development of events is somewhat out of the projection of the programme.

The basilisk and Lockhart are walking from the second floor in the direction of the first floor cafeteria and will arrive in a few minutes at the cafeteria, where most of the Hogwarts students are gathered.

And these days Dumbledore is out of business, and several wizarding families from Finland come to him to talk about business.

The house-elves are bringing several students from the dean's office back to the common room.

Zhang Xu didn't dare to give up the students in the dean's office and concentrate all his strength in the cafeteria, he didn't dare to bet that the development of things was exactly the same as the "plot", and the "plot" had already been taken to the ditch by him. Although he had struck the basilisk once before, he didn't dare to bet on whether Tom Riddle had any other backhand.

In the past, Tom Riddle and the basilisk would run back after a handful, but this time they came directly after being discovered, which shows that they feel that they have a great advantage.

Since Lockhart is an adult wizard, unlike a newcomer like Ginny, it may not be true that Tom Riddle unlocked a new pose after taking control of Lockhart.

Many thoughts passed in an instant, and Zhang Xu finally chose to take the initiative.

"Let the house-elves bring all of our men here, and then we'll stop the basilisk and Lockhart here. Basilisks must not be allowed into the auditorium. Zhang Xu pointed to the foyer on the map and said, this is the only way from the second floor to the first floor.

A few people around nodded in agreement, and the student council president began contacting Professor McGonagall to ask the house-elves to help.

"Peeves, come here." Zhang Xu greeted Peeves hiding in the corner of the ceiling of the cafeteria.

Peeves was still afraid of Zhang Xu until now, and immediately came over after hearing Zhang Xu's call.

Zhang Xu took out two packets of quicklime powder in a plastic bag and handed them to Peeves.

"Peeves, Hogwarts needs you. You go to the foyer and hide now, and when the basilisk appears, you throw them in the basilisk's eye from behind. ”

Seeing that Zhang Xu said so solemnly, Pippi didn't say much and flew away with a bag of quicklime powder in one hand.

At this time, the house-elves brought the rest of the "defenders" with them. At the same time, they also brought with them the news of Professor McGonagall, and the students in the dean's office were transferred in a little more than ten minutes, and the professors would be coming to support at that time. Hagrid prepares Thestrals' cart to take the students away if necessary.

The "defenders" formed a line, put on their goggles, took out their wands, and stood behind the door of the cafeteria without saying a word.

The cafeteria, which was still a little noisy, was now quiet, and only the sound of roosters crowing came from the loudspeakers in the cafeteria.

The students in the cafeteria watched silently as they had just been informed that in the worst-case scenario, half of the team would stay, risking their lives to cover their way out of Hogwarts Castle.

Under this oppressive atmosphere, the sound of several girls crying in low voices could be faintly heard.

Zhang Xu and the others looked at the map of the living spots, and Gilderoy Lockhart's name was moving from the stairs in the foyer to the first floor.

Suddenly, Gilderoy Lockhart's name stopped in the foyer, and several people on the edge of the map suddenly became nervous.

After a while, the Fat Friar walked through the wall into the cafeteria, bringing bad news to everyone.

Peeves' sneak attack was not entirely successful, only the basilisk's left eye was damaged, and then the basilisk's right eye was transformed into Nick's same appearance.

Zhang Xu, who heard the news, pressed down the urge to dig out the hole cards.

Seeing that the faces of Zhang Xu and several of his commanders had deteriorated after listening to the fat monk's report, the students' mood became even more depressed.

Now it's time for the "Defenders" to play.

The team formed under the secret support and guidance of Zhang Xuming ushered in the most severe battle as soon as it was born. In the years to come, only the final Armageddon could be more severe than today's battle. At that time, perhaps today's comrades-in-arms will become opponents who fight each other.

Just as Zhang Xu and several of his commanders got up, Ginny suddenly rushed over from the student pile, rushed to Zhang Xu, and hugged Zhang Xu...... The Harry Potter classmate next to him kissed him.

Ginny's bold move became a flashpoint, and a dozen girls rushed out of the student pile, found their boyfriends in the ranks of the "defenders", and then sprinkled dog food.

Seeing that Zhang Qiu was also walking towards a certain Seeker, Zhang Xu took a step forward and stopped in front of Zhang Qiu, stuffed a jade card into her hand, and told her to activate the defensive spell in the jade card in case of emergency, and then drove her back to the student pile.

Ignoring the resentful gaze of a certain Seeker, Zhang Xu came to the front of the team and handed over several stun bombs to the five daredevils standing in the front row as planned.

This stun bomb, which uses the same method as a hand grenade, was developed just last year, and can create the effect of a stun spell within a range of three to five meters, and does not cause physical damage to people and surrounding objects, and is mainly used in hostage-taking cases by gangsters.

According to the plan, the five daredevils, all from the Snake Courtyard, will take the opportunity to launch the first wave of assault when the horn in the foyer sounds the rooster crowing half a minute later, and blow Lockhart unconscious with a stun bomb before being petrified by the basilisk, thereby weakening the basilisk's power by the way. At the same time, they are also responsible for the task of providing first-hand information.

When the time came, the president of the student council reopened the horn in the foyer, which had been closed earlier, and the sound of a rooster crowing was heard from the foyer into the cafeteria.

The door to the cafeteria opened at the same time, and five death squads from Slytherin House, holding stun bombs and shouting "For Slytherin glory", rushed towards the Slytherin heirs.
