Dawn should be full of vitality.

When the sun pokes its head out from the east and shines the first ray of sunlight on the world, the orange light fills the field of vision, and the buildings in the distance that are still immersed in the night fog outline hazy shadows.

The morning dew slowly falls on the grass blades in the countryside, accompanied by the sunlight, reflecting the fascinating colors.

Yes, in fact, all these changes are not that big, at least not as big as people imagine. The tenacity and persistence of nature cannot be easily destroyed by one or two people like Haierbo.

However, when Sirius was leaning on the roof, looking at London shrouded in gray fog in the distance... all he could feel was dullness and desolation.

Except for the fixed patrol time, he seemed to have been on the roof for almost half the night. He watched the whole world sink into darkness, and then gradually be lit up by the sun, until now it was the arrival of a new day.

And at this moment, he suddenly saw a few black spots in the distance suddenly appear in his sight, and slowly enlarged towards him.

It was the previous patrol team that had returned from the designated route.

"ha"

Suddenly raising his arms, Sirius stretched and let out a long sigh. He hadn't slept all night again, but he didn't feel sleepy at all, only a feeling of tiredness from within.

His body seemed somewhat weak.

By the way, this night, not even a single living corpse was seen outside the fog.

"It's time to change shifts... After I go out for a walk, I'll send a letter to Maka and Lupine and report the current situation!"

While muttering to himself, Sirius casually opened the skylight next to him, held up the roof with one hand, and jumped neatly back into the attic below.

Perhaps due to his years of training in Animagus form, even in his human form, his movements when landing are still very light and he makes almost no sound.

Of course, this was mainly because there were still team members resting downstairs, and he didn't want to wake up his colleagues from the Ministry of Magic who had finally managed to take a nap by making too much noise.

"Shhh"

Several owls living in the attic saw him coming down and were about to chirp a few times, but he immediately stopped them.

"You can also rest for a while," Sirius whispered to the owls standing on the backs of chairs and wooden tables, "wait for me to go out, and you will have work to do when I come back!"

When those smart owls heard this, they immediately became silent. They just tilted their heads and blinked their big round eyes, looking at him quietly.

"By the way...good morning."

While talking, Sirius kept walking and quickly walked around the stairs next to him.

"Gu?"

After he disappeared, the owls gathered together and whispered "coo" for a few times, as if they were discussing who should do the "job" for a while.

After a short while, the attic became completely quiet again.

But who knows, the thoughtful whispers from Sirius and the owls would all be in vain.

Because soon, there was a loud "bang" sound downstairs, waking up all the team members who were taking a nap from their sleep.

"What's wrong?"

Sirius, who had just walked halfway up the stairs, heard the movement below, and immediately stopped controlling his footsteps and ran down the stairs faster.

After he rushed downstairs with all his strength, he saw the team members who had just returned from patrol carrying two wounded patients covered in blood and hurriedly placing them on the old sofa nearby.

"Both of them are survivors," the team leader quickly replied. "They escaped before sunrise when it was darkest... According to the lady who was relatively lightly injured, they escaped before this."

, has been hiding in the cellar. He was actually not injured at first, but he went out to look for food because he had eaten all the edible things...and then he was attacked."

"Um."

Sirius nodded thoughtfully while watching two teammates who were good at healing spells give first aid to the two injured patients.

"You were injured and couldn't be treated, so... you ran away?"

"Although I fainted before I mentioned this, that's probably it!" The captain also nodded, and then said, "And, actually, this is not the most important thing... She said before that the cellar

There are still survivors in there!”

This sentence made Sirius frown suddenly.

Maka has repeatedly warned her that patrolling outside the fog is fine, but if you have no other choice, try your best not to step into the fog again.

Even though Maka did not strictly prohibit the patrol team like them from entering like she ordered the alienated Acromantula, but if you think about it with your knees, you will know how high Maka's assessment of the dangers in the gray mist is.

"Is this an extraordinary situation?"

As the captain said, he couldn't help but look back and saw that although Sirius was both nominally the captain of the patrol team, Sirius was mainly responsible for the command here.

But it can be seen that the other party actually wants to go over and rescue the remaining survivors.

"Well... let's forget it!" Sirius frowned, "One of our missions is to rescue those survivors who may still be alive, isn't it?"

Having said that, it is obvious that he has to bear the responsibility not only for the lives of the survivors, but also for the lives of nearly twenty members of his three patrol teams.

Now that he wanted to enter the fog that Maka called "extremely dangerous", he had to consider the possibility of the entire army being annihilated.

"We can only go to one team," he thought for a moment and said, "The rescue operation can only be done once. If we don't come back after an hour, we will immediately report the actual situation to Spiral Town."

After saying this, Sirius turned around and said:

"No 'dead' has appeared all night long, so the surrounding area should be fairly safe... By the way, did the lady tell me where the cellar where they are hiding is?"

"Near Myers Fields Park," the other party said immediately, "To be honest, it's a bit far from here... It's already a relatively deep place in the fog zone."

"It's hard for them to escape."

Sirius said, looking at the two injured patients who were being rescued again, and couldn't help but sigh a little.

It can be seen from the clothing of the two that the more seriously injured of the two women seems to be a wizard, while the other is probably a Muggle.

Being able to escape from such a deep place was hard to imagine given their experiences along the way, even looking at the rather serious injuries.

"Damn Herbo...damn disaster!"
