"Here! Come here..."

At that critical moment, Sirius discovered a manhole cover that was definitely not that big under the debris placed beside the alley.

To be honest, at first glance, it would be hard for most people to think of drilling into such a small sewer because normally, it would be impossible for an adult to drill into it.

However, Sirius, who had long been accustomed to wandering around in his Animagus form, was very familiar with this dirty and smelly place, but few people noticed it.

After quickly waving his wand and flipping aside the fence-like sewer manhole cover with a clang, he immediately called to the two Auror members closest to him and said:

"You two go down first to clear the way and use the disappearing spell!"

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 helped them expand the entrance first.

"Quick, get in!"

As Sirius said this, he had already moved his gaze to both ends of the alley. He seemed a little anxious looking at the groups of living corpses that looked crazy, but were too crowded to run fast because the alley was too narrow.

.

Once crowded with so many living corpses, even experienced Aurors like them would not be able to survive for long, let alone the combination of these Muggles and a few wizards and civilians.

"Get ready, the rest of the team members, take out your brooms!"

Obviously, he has been preparing for the possibility that all the survivors cannot be squeezed into the sewer. If this is not possible, then he can only take away as many survivors as possible outside, and those in the sewer will

I can only think of other ideas.

For example, dig all the way down from sewers elsewhere?

Fortunately, perhaps because the two Aurors who had created a hiding space below really tried their best 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 team member wanted to come to the rear by himself, he was pushed down by Sirius before he could even finish his words.

The next moment, Sirius himself jumped down, not even caring about stepping on the team member who had just been pushed down by him.

In fact, he did step heavily on the opponent's shoulder and back, and the two people immediately fell into a ball in the sewer that was widened but still crowded.

But even so, Sirius didn't have any confusion or hesitation. As soon as he got there, he raised his wand and waved it upward, sealing the entrance instantly.

"Bang!"

When it was dark because the only nearby sewer entrance was blocked, everyone heard a dull thump 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 was definitely not something that ordinary living zombies could do. It should be the kind of living zombies with the ability to cast spells, which cast a spell on the place where they disappeared.

"The phantom stone slab! Safely guard...and protect everyone!"

Immediately, regardless of the inconvenience of being unable to see his fingers in the sewer, Sirius continued to point upward and cast a series of regular protective spells. After no more vibrations and sounds were heard above his head, he put down his arms and stopped with a slight breath.

.

"Captain, are you okay? Are you injured?"

When one of the Auror teammates asked Sirius, several lights lit up in this dark and small space almost simultaneously, and one of the light sources appeared at the top of the wand in Sirius' hand.

"It's okay," he raised his wand and moved his body, moving himself away from the teammate who was pressed under him, and then frowned and said, "But... to be honest, hiding underground is actually not a problem.

It’s just not a good idea.”

Just as he was talking, the two Aurors who had come down first to open up the space suddenly said:

"Captain, do you want to continue to widen the sewer and then take a rest? Or... should we just start digging somewhere else?"

"No," Sirius waved his hands immediately after hearing this, "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 just a last resort. In fact, if there is no other way, I would not even think of coming to the sewer. After all... for us, the biggest danger after stepping into the fog is always

Haierbo. And if you use magic spells frequently in places like the underground where there are no people at all..."

If it is above the ground, there are many living corpses who can use magic, so the intruder is definitely not the only person in London who may release magic. But if it is to use magic to dig a tunnel underground to move, Haierbo will detect it.

The possibilities will increase instantly.

If they were targeted by Haierbo...it seemed that apart from total annihilation, there would be no other outcome.

"Then...what should we do?"

I originally thought that I could dig underground to a place without living corpses and then consider going out, or even dig alternately to dig directly outside the fog range. Although this must be very difficult, it is still possible for Aurors like them to do it.

of.

But who knew that the question raised by Sirius would completely cut off the team members' thoughts.

Unfortunately, looking at the somewhat helpless team members, Sirius felt somewhat helpless this time.

However, in Sirius's dictionary, the word "give up" obviously does not exist.

"Don't be discouraged, think about it carefully."

If even they, the rescuers, become gloomy, what should they do with the survivors they rescued from the cellar?

Perhaps taking this into consideration, a kind of Auror also cheered up and started thinking seriously one by one.

But at this moment, suddenly, another heavier and more violent roar and vibration suddenly came from above everyone's heads. Even though they were all huddled underground, they could still feel the tremor very clearly.

What happened on the ground?

Just when the survivors were in panic again, and the Aurors didn't know what to do. The next second, Sirius felt as if the entire sewer was about to collapse completely, and piles of soil 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 moment when half of his body was buried under earth and rocks, along with a terrifying roar, Sirius' field of vision was filled with a large area of ​​inexplicable dazzling light.
