"Go! We have to go after all. If we can't see Harry and the others, the new Marauder's Map in my hand will have no meaning no matter how complete it is. What's more, we still remember that we want to restore contact with Harry and the others. What's the purpose? In addition to allowing us to confirm their safety at any time to give us peace of mind, more importantly, it is to allow Harry and the young warriors fighting on the front line to be informed of changes in the situation in the entire world outside in a timely manner, so that The battles in which they risked their lives will not become useless due to various changes in the outside world!"
Lu Ping looked at Optimus Icicle in front of him, and said these words that had been brewing in his heart for a long time in a tone that seemed plain but full of perseverance.
There is no doubt that everyone who dares to set foot on this land now is already prepared to die at any time. It's just that under this disaster, even if people with their own consciousness like them are going to die, they will obviously consider how to make their death more valuable.
Because of this, after seeing the situation in London these days, Kingsley wondered whether he should give up progress temporarily to save everyone's lives. After all, they have seen in the past few days that the old London city ahead, even the suburban areas, has long been completely occupied by a large number of living zombies. If they still don't know what to do and insist on breaking in, once the living zombies attack them, they will definitely There is only a dead end.
Should we expect those living corpses to get along with uninvited guests like them just for the sake of cooperating? At least Kingsley felt that it would be better not to place hope on others, not to mention that the living zombies couldn't be considered "human"!
However, it must be admitted that what Lu Ping just said is correct, and it couldn't be more correct.
Harry, Hermione and the rest of the group have been here for a while. Due to the special nature of this place, it is almost isolated from the outside world.
And you have to know that the situation in the world today changes almost every day. Without accurate knowledge of the current situation, even with Hermione's intelligence and astuteness, it is very easy to make meaningless or even wrong decisions due to lack of information.
"I understand." Kingsley nodded quickly after thinking for a moment, "To be honest, the journey to this point has been surprisingly smooth, and no one was even injured. I am lucky enough... Therefore, it’s time to take a risk, otherwise when we go back and tell everyone, they will think that we are here for tourism!”
It was indeed peaceful along the way, but the calmer it was, the greater the mental pressure on everyone. Especially in the past two days, it was finally confirmed that London in the past had indeed turned into a nest of living corpses, and Harry and others were very likely to be in the city. Under the dilemma, the nerves were naturally stretched to the limit.
Probably knowing this, Kingsley told a little joke at the end, hoping to make everyone relax as much as possible.
Because next, it’s time to enter the city.
But at the next moment, when Kingsley wanted to start arranging everyone's follow-up actions, he saw Mr. Rocky Blois not far away suddenly raised his hand to stop him from continuing to speak, and at the same time turned his head to the left The direction of the hillside.
"Prepare for battle!"
It was not Rocky who gave the orders, but Kingsley. As a former Auror elite, he has never lost his on-the-spot reaction ability in the face of danger. Even though he was obviously slower than Rocky when he noticed that someone was nearby, he still saw After the opponent's action, everyone enters the challenge state as quickly as possible.
But then, they heard a familiar voice coming from the other side of the hillside.
"Hmph, let me see, I actually bumped into a few old acquaintances here?" The voice said with a strong sarcastic tone, rather aggressively, "What, one or two of them, are they all here to die? ?”
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure appeared on the top of the not-so-high hillside not far away. He looked at Lu Ping and others with cold eyes and glanced back and forth several times.
Rocky, who was standing next to Kingsley and Lupin, did not show any displeasure at the visitor's ridicule, but the wand in his hand moved slightly, clearly indicating that he had decided to take action. But at the moment when the tip of his wand lit up with magical light, Kingsley, who had quick eyes and quick hands, held his wrist down.
"Don't do anything, it's one of our own." Kingsley whispered with a subtle expression.
"One of our own?" Rocky glanced at him.
"Yeah," Kingsley nodded, but then couldn't help but add, "...probably."
On the other side, Lupine no longer paid attention to the whispered exchanges between the two after seeing Kingsley stopping Rocky. He just stared at the black-robed figure on the top of the hillside over there, as if he wanted to come back. A flower can be seen on the person.
After a while, when the other person looked vaguely impatient, he glanced left and right near the other person, then frowned and said:
"You're the only one? Severus, if you're not with Professor McGonagall to help her protect the students, why are you here?"
"Do you think I'm willing to come to this damn shabby place?" Snape flicked his big black cloak and said coldly, "I'm here to see that boy Maclean. Wait for me to ask you what I want to know. Just so you know, even if you and that stupid dog kneel down in front of me and beg me, I won’t stay here for another half second!”
However, after hearing Snape's words, Lupine showed a rare hesitation in front of this "old friend" instead of teasing him in a roundabout way like usual.
Lupine's hesitation was only for a moment, but it did not escape the eyes of Snape, who was already very keen and familiar with this old enemy. The next second, a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes.
Perhaps he knows that many situations here need to be treated with caution. It's harmless to argue when you meet, but you can't be vague about business matters. Therefore, it was rare that Snape had no intention of continuing to quarrel. After noticing that Lupine's expression was different, he immediately frowned and said:
"What's wrong? Is there any problem?"
Across from him, Lupine paused again, then looked at Snape and asked:
"Severus, where are you from? Have you ever been to the camp and seen Bill before coming here?"
"Been there," Snape said.
"Then..." Lupine paused again after hearing this, "Didn't you tell Bill what the purpose of your coming here is?"
