Chapter 1457 Predicament and Collapse
"Here! Come here..."
At that extremely urgent moment, Sirius found a manhole cover that was definitely not big under the sundries placed on the side of the alley.
To be honest, but looking at it that way, it is difficult for ordinary people to think of drilling into such a small sewer - because normally, it is the size that an adult can't drill into.
However, Sirius, who has long been accustomed to drilling around in the form of animagus, is very familiar with this kind of dirty and smelly place that few people notice.
After quickly waving his wand and flipping the fence-like sewer cover aside with a bang, he immediately greeted the two Auror members who were closest to here:
"You two go down first and open the way—use the Vanishing Curse!"
Before he finished speaking, he stretched out his wand again, pointed at the manhole cover that only children, cats and dogs could drill through, and first helped them expand the entrance.
"Quick, go in!"
As Sirius said this, he moved his eyes to both ends of the alley, looking at the crowds of living corpses who looked crazy but couldn't run fast because the alley was too narrow. .
Once crowded around by so many living corpses, even Aurors with rich combat experience like them can't last long, let alone the combination of these Muggles and a few wizards and civilians.
"The remaining team members are ready, take out their brooms!"
Clearly, he was already preparing for the possibility of not being able to squeeze all the survivors into the sewers. If it doesn't work, you can only take away as many survivors as possible outside, and those in the sewer can only think of other ideas.
For example, digging all the way down here from the sewer elsewhere?
But fortunately, perhaps because the two Aurors who opened up a hiding space below were really desperate this time, the survivors entered faster than expected.
"You guys go down too!"
"Captain, you first—"
Seeing that the living corpses on both sides were approaching, although the last member of the team wanted to be in the rear by himself, he was pushed down by Sirius before he even finished speaking.
The next moment, Sirius himself jumped down, not even caring about the team member who was bound to be pushed down by him.
In fact, he did step heavily on each other's shoulders, and the two immediately fell into a ball in the sewer that was widened, but still extremely crowded.
But even so, Sirius didn't have the slightest confusion or hesitation, he raised his wand and swung it up immediately, sealing the entrance instantly.
"Boom!"
When it was pitch black because the only nearby sewer entrance was sealed, everyone heard a dull thumping sound from above their heads.
At that moment, Sirius, who was still directly below, even felt a lot of gravel and dust scattered all over his body.
Needless to say, that is definitely not something that ordinary living corpses can do - it should be the kind of living corpses with the ability to cast spells, casting a spell on the place where they disappeared.
"Phantom Tablet! Safe guarding...all protected!"
Immediately, regardless of the inconvenience of not being able to see his fingers in the sewer, Sirius continued to point upwards and cast a series of conventional protective spells.
After there was no more vibration or sound coming from above his head, he lowered his arms and stopped with a little panting.
"Captain, are you okay? Are you injured?"
When one of the Auror teammates asked Sirius, several lights lit up in the dark and small space almost at the same time, and one of the light sources appeared on the tip of the wand in Sirius' hand.
"It's okay," he moved his body with his wand, removed himself from the teammate who was crushed under him, and then frowned, "but...to be honest, hiding in the ground is actually not easy. Not a good idea."
Just as he was talking, the two Aurors who stepped down to open up the space just now suddenly said:
"Captain, do you want to continue to widen the sewer and then take a rest? Or should we just start digging elsewhere?"
"No," Sirius immediately waved his hands when he heard the words, "don't do anything for now."
After saying this without hesitation, he continued to frown and said:
"As I said just now, hiding underground is only a last resort—in fact, if it is not impossible, I actually don't want to come to the sewer at all. After all... For us, the biggest danger after stepping into the fog It’s always Haierbo. And if the magic spell is used frequently in a place like the underground where there are no people at all..."
If it is above ground, since there are still many living corpses that can use magic, the intruder is definitely not the only person who may release magic in the London area. But if the passage is dug underground with magic to move, the possibility of being noticed by Hai Erbo will increase instantly.
If they are being targeted by Haierbo... It seems that there will be no other results other than complete annihilation.
"Then... what should I do?"
Originally, I thought that I could dig out from the ground to a place where there were no living corpses, or even dig alternately and simply dig out of the fog. Although it must be very difficult to do so, it is still possible to succeed if they do it with Aurors like them.
But who knew, the question raised by Sirius completely cut off the consideration of the team members at once.
It's a pity, looking at those team members who were a little helpless, this time Sirius also felt a little helpless.
However, in the dictionary of Sirius, there is obviously no such word as "giving up".
"Don't be discouraged, think about it carefully."
If even their rescuers became frowning, what about the survivors they rescued from the cellar?
Perhaps considering this point, a certain kind of Aurors cheered up one after another, thinking seriously one by one.
But at this moment, suddenly, another roar and vibration that was heavier and more intense than before suddenly came from above everyone's heads. Even though they were all crowded underground, they could still feel the tremor very clearly.
On the ground, what happened?
Just as the survivors fell into panic again, the Aurors didn't know what to do. In the next second, Sirius felt as if the entire sewer was about to collapse completely, and piles of soil were suddenly pressed down.
The series of protective spells he released just now seemed to be fake, and had no effect at all.
"boom--"
In the instant when half of his body was buried by earth and rocks, accompanied by a terrifying bang, Sirius' field of vision was filled with an inexplicable dazzling light.
