Chapter 1971 False Alarm

Rowan has been hiding here for several hours.

Yes, it was the Rowan police officer that Harry and the others met in Weymouth at the beginning—when the group of living corpses repeatedly broke through the defense line and attacked the camp, in order to help the Muggles who had not had time to send them away The asylum seekers evacuated as much as possible, and he sent people to the ship in batches again and again.

However, almost no one expected that the living corpses would come too fast. Just when Luo Wen was about to send the last few people to the pier to board the boat, the last line of defense also collapsed.

Obviously, with the strength of those enemies, it would be too dangerous for Muggles to go out again. Therefore, even Rowan himself was unable to withdraw from Weymouth, and in the end he could only stay here with a few Muggles, which at least seemed to be a safe hiding place for now.

But fortunately, at least there are still a lot of supplies left here that have not been taken away by the retreating wizards, including a lot of food. If it is saved, it will definitely be enough for them to live here for a long time.

Of course, the premise is that this hiding place is not breached by living corpses.

As Muggles, Rowan and the others naturally didn't understand spells and alchemy, so for the past few hours, everyone was worried.

In order to ensure everyone's safety as much as possible, Rowan chose a storage room in the kitchen - he hid here with several others.

To be honest, Rowan had been prepared to hide here for at least ten days and a half a month. After all, even if the wizards could counterattack and come back, it would take time! And with the way they were retreating steadily before, Rowan didn't even dare to be sure that they could really regain the camp from those living corpses.

But what Luo Wen didn't expect was that just a few hours later, someone seemed to break in from outside!

"Officer, listen... is there a sound downstairs?"

The one who spoke suddenly was a young man about twenty years old, and he was also one of the people who accidentally survived this almost desperate disaster for Muggles.

However, this time, his luck didn't seem to be as good as those who successfully boarded the ship in the previous batches. In order to allow several children and women to retreat first, he stayed until the end, but in the end he was trapped in this place.

"there's noise?"

When Luo Wen, who was resting by the side, heard it, he stood up immediately and walked cautiously to the door.

I saw him leaning his ear to the door, listening carefully for a moment, and then his face suddenly changed.

"It's a human! It's a human voice!"

Rowan touched his waist almost subconsciously, and pulled out his gun - there were not many bullets left, and it had little effect on the living corpses. But even so, holding the handle can bring him more sense of security and help him calm down.

"Everyone be careful, don't make any noise."

The world is complicated, whether it is the Muggle society or the wizarding world - after meeting many wizards and learning a lot from them during this period of time, Rowan has become more and more convinced of this.

"Those who can appear here at this time... I'm afraid they are more likely to be enemies." He lowered his voice and reminded him gently.

And just a moment later, with the sound of footsteps gradually coming from the direction of the stairs, all the Muggles hiding in the kitchen storage room became nervous involuntarily.

But to be honest, their nervousness was mainly due to Officer Rowan's guarded attitude. After all, they didn't even know who they were, did they?

Getting closer... getting closer... Someone seems to be checking the rooms one by one. Luo Wen frowned tightly, and the palm of the hand holding the handle of the gun gradually leaked greasy cold sweat, which immediately made the string in his head tense even more.

"Crack."

The doorknob of the kitchen was turned, and the sound of footsteps extended from outside to inside. Soon, there was only one door between them and the unidentified "guest".

The wizard's power is magical and terrifying, and Rowan doesn't know if the other party can detect the existence of them.

But now, he can only hope that the other party does not have this ability, because only in this way can they continue to hide and not be easily discovered - the door of this storage room has been blocked by him with a cupboard before, for those who are not For those who are not familiar with this place, it must be impossible to see it with the eyes alone.

"...Oh, is this the kitchen? Let me see what else there is."

Suddenly, the person who came in spoke, and it was a clear and sweet female voice—it sounded like the person wanted to come to the kitchen to find some food.

"Oh, there are still a lot of ingredients in this cupboard! It should be able to cook a good meal for her—"

Of course, no matter who the other party is, at least one thing is certain. That is... The other party obviously didn't know about this hiding place in the Weymouth camp, and even the kitchen was found after searching one by one.

At this time, the young man couldn't help but gave Luo Wen a look, as if asking what to do next. Looking at his appearance, he seems to be more inclined to think that the unknown person outside is not a bad person.

However, Rowan just shook his head.

In any case, it is definitely not advisable for a group of Muggles to take the initiative to contact each other. It's rare that the other party didn't seem to notice their existence. If there was an accident, it would be too late to regret.

However, the young man didn't seem to think so.

In fact, since the Muggle youth was able to escape to Weymouth with the help of the wizard, it can be said that the wizard saved his life. In addition, he obviously doesn't know as much about the magic world as Police Officer Rowan does. Now that he is simple-minded, he actually has a great affection for wizards.

But after all, he was not the kind of person who didn't know what was good or bad. Seeing that Luo Wen didn't want to expose it, he didn't object. However, out of curiosity about the identity of the wizard outside, he couldn't help but follow behind the door, as if he wanted to hear more clearly.

However, just when he was closing the door softly...

"despair."

It was probably because his toes accidentally touched the door panel and made a moderate sound. Although the wizard outside was controlling the pots and pans on his own, in this still too quiet space, it was extraordinarily clear.

"……Who?"

The one who is preparing ingredients in the kitchen outside right now is naturally Ursula. After hearing this movement, she immediately stopped what she was doing, and suddenly turned her head away.

"Who's there?"

She asked another question, but no one answered.
