Chapter 2468 "Old Friend"
"Go! I'm going after all. If I don't see Harry and the others, this new Marauder's map in my hand is meaningless no matter how complete it is. What's more, remember that we have to restore contact with Harry and the others. Is it for what? In addition to allowing us to confirm their safety at any time to give us peace of mind, what is more important is to let Harry and his young warriors who are fighting on the front line be able to keep abreast of changes in the situation in the entire world outside, so that The battles where they bet their lives will not become useless due to various changes in the outside world!"
Lupine looked at the icicles in front of him, and said the words that had been brewing in his heart for a long time in a seemingly flat but resolute tone.
There is no doubt that all those who dare to set foot on this land today are already prepared to die at any time. It's just that under this disaster, even if people like them who have their own consciousness are going to die, they will obviously consider how to make their own death more valuable.
Because of this, after seeing the current situation in London in the past few days, Kingsley wondered whether he should give up moving forward for the time being to save everyone's lives. After all, they have all seen these days that the old London city in front of them, even the suburban areas, has long been completely occupied by a large number of living corpses. There is only one dead end.
Should the living corpses be expected to live in harmony with their uninvited guests just because they are cooperating? At least Kingsley felt that it would be better not to place hope on other people, not to mention that even the living corpses could not be regarded as "human beings"!
However, it must be admitted that what Lupine said just now is correct, it cannot be more correct.
Harry, Hermione and a group of people have been here for a while. Due to the special nature of this place, it is almost isolated from the outside world.
But you must know that the situation in the world is changing almost every day. Without being able to accurately know the current situation, even with Hermione's astute astuteness, it is very easy to make some meaningless or even wrong decisions due to lack of information.
"I understand." Kingsley nodded quickly after thinking for a while, "Speaking of which, it's been a surprisingly smooth journey to this point, not even a single person was injured, which is already lucky enough... …So, it’s time to take a risk, or else go back and tell everyone that we’re here to travel!”
The journey was indeed quite peaceful, but the calmer it was, the greater the mental pressure on everyone. Especially in the past two days, it was finally confirmed that the former London had indeed become a lair of living corpses, and Harry and the others were very likely to be in the city. Naturally, their nerves were stretched to the limit under the dilemma.
Probably knowing this, Kingsley told a little joke at the end, trying 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 the follow-up actions of everyone, he saw that 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.
"Ready for battle!"
It was not Lodge who gave the orders, but Kingsley. As a former Auror elite, he never lost his on-the-spot reaction ability in the face of danger. Even though he was obviously slower than Rocky in detecting someone nearby, he still saw After the opponent's action, everyone entered the fighting state as quickly as possible.
But then, they heard a familiar voice coming from the other side of the hill.
"Hmph, let me see, how many old acquaintances have you bumped into here?" The voice was full of sarcasm, rather aggressive, "Why, did one or two come here to die? ?”
As soon as the voice fell, a figure appeared on the top of the not-so-high hillside not far away, looking at Lu Ping and others with icy eyes, scanning back and forth several times.
Rocky, who was standing beside Kingsley and Lupine, didn't show any displeasure because of the taunts from the visitors, but the wand in his hand moved slightly, obviously he had decided to do something. But at the moment when the tip of his wand glowed with magic power, Kingsley, who had quick eyesight and quick hands, held down his wrist again.
"Don't do it, it's your own." Kingsley whispered with a subtle expression.
"My own?" Rocky glanced at him.
"Well," Kingsley nodded, but then he couldn't help but add, "...probably."
On the other side, Lupine didn't care about the low-pitched communication between the two after seeing Kingsley stop Rocky. He just stared at the black-robed figure on the top of the hillside, as if he wanted to never stop. A flower can be seen in a person.
After a while, when the other party was vaguely impatient with him, he glanced left and right around the other party, then frowned and said:
"Just you? Severus, what are you doing here if you're not beside Professor McGonagall to help her protect the students?"
"Do you think I'm willing to come to this damned wretched place?" Snape flicked his big black cloak, and said coldly, "I'm here to find that kid McLean, when I ask you what I want to know Make it clear, even if you kneel down in front of me and beg me with that stupid dog, I won't stay here for half a second!"
However, after hearing Snape's words, Lupine showed a rare look of hesitation in front of this "old friend", instead of teasing back as usual.
Lupine's hesitation was only for a moment, but it didn't escape the eyes of Snape, who was already very keen and familiar with this old enemy. In the next second, a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes.
Maybe it's because they know that many situations here need to be treated with caution, and it's harmless to quarrel with each other when they meet, but they can't be vague about the business. Therefore, it was rare that Snape had no intention of continuing to bicker. After noticing that Lupine's expression was different, he immediately frowned and said:
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
On the opposite side, Lupine paused again, and then looked at Snape and asked:
"Severus, where are you from? Before you came over, did you go to the camp and meet Bill?"
"I've been," Snape said.
"Then..." Lupine paused again when he heard the words, "Didn't you tell Bill what your purpose for coming here is?"
