Speaking of which, the team composed of Lu Ping, other members of the old Order of the Phoenix and personnel dispatched by the Blois family, whether it is the landing point chosen or the direction of travel, are actually the same as the previous team from the American "Masonry Workshop" There's not much difference.
Although there was obviously no similarity in their plans, the destination they chose after entering this disaster place was the same, which was London, the former Muggle capital of Britain.
However, these two teams, whose marching routes seemed to be similar and all personnel were equally cautious, had completely different experiences along the way.

Although it may not be easily described as "lucky", compared with the Stewart team that suddenly encountered an enemy shortly after marching and was almost completely destroyed, the road ahead for Lupine and the others seemed to be smooth!
There are no zombies suddenly blocking the way, no blood and curses flying everywhere, no thrilling and desperate battles, and no narrow escape from death - not to mention the dead wizards in the stonemason's workshop, even those who narrowly escaped death. None of the dangers experienced by John Stewart had befallen Lupine and the Blois family team.
We have indeed discovered many living corpses more than once, some in abandoned cities, some on rural roads, and in the wilderness. It's unclear whether they were vigilant enough or there were some other reasons - at least no one wanted to try to find out - in short, they were avoided by them without any danger every time.
Until about noon on the third day, this large team of people from the old Order of the Phoenix, headed by Lupine, and the wizards of the Blois family, headed by Rocky Blois, joined hands with each other. In such a state, I successfully arrived in the area of the outer suburbs of London...
"Lupin, how's the map doing?"
On the roadside, Kingsley, who had just led people to investigate the surroundings, walked back to Lupine, who was resting in place and tinkering with the new Marauder's Map with his head down. He looked at the latter holding the map in one hand and speaking Holding the wand gently in his hand, he placed the tip of the wand against the map and kept drawing it back and forth.
"Of course there is nothing wrong with the map itself. You know, it was originally made based on Muggle maps. The only problem lies in the setting of the 'Marauder' - I just copied the living corpses I have encountered along the way. The positions are all recorded, but after all they are just 'dead'... If you want to make them 'alive', manual recording alone is not enough."
As Lupine spoke, he immersed himself in dotting the map for a while, then waved his wand to refold the map and put it in the pocket of his robe.
Then, he pushed his knees up and stood up from the broken piece of wood that served as a stool. He patted his pants and asked:
"There are no enemies around here?"
Upon hearing this, Kingsley immediately shrugged at him, giving him a silent affirmation.
Yes, although I did encounter living corpses several times along the way, in terms of quantity, there were even quite a few each time. But overall, it’s still “too little”. They all had personally experienced the back-and-forth resistance war from Britain. They also learned about the details of several waves of living zombies afterwards, and they knew very well the actual number of those terrible guys - that was definitely not... The ones I've seen along the way recently are comparable.
"Those living corpses... what happened to them now?"
Lu Ping frowned and looked around and murmured to himself. The withered trees, plants and building ruins could no longer hide anything. At a glance, there was only the unchanging desolation and silence, and... What also made him feel confused and uneasy was the root standing on the ground. It turned out that it was supposed to be the inexplicable "Pillar of Babel" heading towards London.
"Is it really related to the appearance of the 'Lord of the Living Corpses'?"
"It's very possible," Kingsley took off his hat and touched his bald head, looking at the strange pillar in the distance and said, "Although 'it' didn't seem to be mentioned in detail at the time, since it can already represent a living corpse Coming forward to negotiate means that it should have gathered most of the living corpses at least at that time. And now... maybe even the groups of living corpses we recorded before are already under his control. .”
After a moment of silence, Lu Ping looked around at the other people who had gradually gathered, and then he couldn't help but sigh:
"In other words, we can probably thank 'it' for being here safe and sound like this?"
"Maybe it's not a bad thing." Kingsley still remained calm and said slowly while looking at him.
"I hope so!" Lupine thought for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about this for now...More than these, what I want to know more about now is the situation on Harry's side. After all...it's already the third time. Oh my god!"
Although Lu Ping had been telling himself not to think too much before he set foot on this disaster area, the calm and boring days still made him unable to help but worry that was piling up in his heart.
And even he is like this, and others are naturally like this, especially Arthur, who came from the refugee community in France to participate in this trip. His two children, Ron and Ginny, may be on that maritime battlefield. Father, after the initial determination was gradually worn away by the overly smooth journey, how could he still suppress the uneasiness in his heart
After all, he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity this time to come over and try to confirm the safety of the children with his own eyes - for his wife Molly, and for himself.
After another few minutes of silence, when the reconnaissance team sent by Rocky Blois returned and made a brief report, Lupine, who learned that they had also gained nothing, finally raised his hand and waved solemnly. Rong said:
"Then keep on your way!"
Although the calmness of this journey did make people feel strange, in fact, Lupine and Bill were not unprepared for such a situation. They just lost contact with Harry and others after entering here, and it's not like they didn't know that they agreed to the "Lord of the Living Corpses"'s invitation to cooperate. To put it bluntly, anything is possible on this trip.
Everyone who set foot on the road to downtown London again was the same as they had been for the past three days. Once they started on their way, they no longer had any distractions. Even though there seemed to be no danger along the way, and even Lupine and Kingsley had some suspicions about it, caution was still the biggest principle that would not change.
As they gradually penetrated into the outer suburbs of the town, the number of living corpses suddenly increased, making them realize that it had become difficult to move without even realizing it.
