Chapter 1772 The silent city

If you are just a Muggle, it is simply impossible to act normally in such a world.

"Safina, do you remember what I said before? Wait a minute, don't stay too far away from me!"

Harry stopped the masked girl who was walking in front, and after the girl returned to him as instructed, he frowned and cautiously walked forward for a short distance.

However……

"It's too quiet, there's no sound at all," Harry said hesitantly, "It looks like this port is probably empty."

"Yes!" Neville couldn't help but nodded.

Not only Harry, but also Safina, the other four people were all those who had seen the large battle of the zombie army. Not to mention the high-level zombies for the moment, the ordinary low-level zombies were there almost all the time.

Walking around aimlessly. Wherever they are, you can hear some movement more or less.

If there are enough of them, even ordinary people can hear the rustling sound of them dragging their feet around from a distance.

"Anyway," Harry thought for a while and said, "let's go north first and check out the situation in the city. But to be honest, if even Weymouth, which is so far away from London, has become a ghost town...oh

,This is truly an unimaginable disaster!”

"Needless to say?" Ron, who was following him, sighed, "I remember I said before that my biggest wish in this life is just to work hard and earn more Galleons. At that time, I was also told by Fred

I joked with George, saying that my ambition was as 'ambitious' as that of a Flobber caterpillar... But now it seems that even such a simple wish may not be possible to come true."

Ginny on the side heard what he said, but she didn't argue with him as usual. She just shook her head and said:

"Everything has really changed. I actually think what you say is becoming more and more philosophical."

Perhaps this slightly pessimistic topic made people's hearts become heavier, and everyone couldn't help but shut their mouths and walked forward step by step in silence.

Of course, among the six of them, Safina is the only one who is still a little absent-minded.

"What... exactly is this?"

As she walked, she took out several transparent glass test tubes in succession, pulled out the corks one by one and shook them gently in the air in front of her eyes.

Those test tubes seemed empty at first glance, but in fact, there was some liquid liquid in different colors and states at the bottom of each tube.

These are reagents for detection. As long as they come into contact with substances with corresponding properties, they will react immediately.

However, Safina found that no matter which reagent was used, there was no movement in the thick fog here. This made her feel more and more unsure the more she tried.

As their group advanced some distance in the fog, Harry, who had never noticed anything unusual, couldn't help but feel a little irritated. He turned his head and looked at Safin, who had been trying to analyze the fog beside him.

Na, and then couldn’t help but ask:

"How was it? Did you gain anything?"

However, before Safina could answer, Ginny, who was also paying attention to her, shook her head for her.

"At least so far, there has been no change that can be called a harvest."

Ginny was obviously very good at potions. Although she couldn't tell from the appearance which reagents Safina used, she could at least understand what the other party was doing.

"Well," Safina nodded slightly and said, "Without using any magic spells, these simple tests are the limit, and they obviously don't give any reliable feedback."

"Then put away those test tubes for now!" Harry immediately waved his hand and said, "Look! We can already see some buildings, let's go see if there is anyone inside... Well, I mean, is there anyone else?

Living corpse."

Just as he was speaking, he pursed his lips again and added:

"Although, I don't have much hope for this!"

He said this for no other reason than because it was still so quiet here, so quiet that there was still deathly silence all around. Just walking on this road can make people feel a little creepy.

"If we still can't find anything in these roadside buildings, I think we'd better get on our brooms and expand the search scope!"

Before he finished speaking, Harry greeted everyone to leave the road and turned towards some shops and buildings that gradually appeared on the roadside.

After hearing what he said, Safina put the test tube back into the medicine bag on her waist and asked:

"Then can I also use magic spells to assist in detection?"

"No," Harry said immediately, "the flying broomstick will not cast too much magic reaction, but the movement of the magic spell will be too great. Believe me, after facing so many Haierbo with Maka,

After this time, I have deeply understood the truth that we must not take any chances. If we didn't know how to drive, I wouldn't even want to use a broomstick to drive!"

It was probably Harry's last words that reminded Ron. When the latter heard this, he immediately asked Safina:

"You can even drive a boat, so Muggle cars should be fine, right? Otherwise you can"

"No, I can't," Safina waved her hands immediately. "I used to drive boats a lot when I was a kid, but there are no cars anymore. Do you think cars are more convenient than the Apparition Spell?"

"Oh!" Ron slapped his head and said with some annoyance, "Just pretend I didn't ask."

"Quiet!"

As they talked, they walked into a shopping mall under the leadership of Harry. As far as they could see, they could see that the surroundings were in a mess, with many products scattered on the ground, but not a single person.

After asking them to stop talking, Harry listened for a while, but the result was the same as before, he didn't hear any sound.

But at this moment, Hannah, who had been silent until now, suddenly pointed to a shelf next to her and said:

"Neville, Harry, look here"

Hannah's voice was slightly high, which made everyone think she had discovered some enemy, and they quickly raised their wands. But when they took a closer look, they all became a little confused. They didn't see anything strange there.

"Hannah, what's wrong?"

"All the products here are gone," Hannah immediately explained. "Everything on the nearby shelves is still there, but the cookies here are gone. Has anyone been here?"

After Hannah said this, everyone suddenly realized. Indeed, most of the other things around were still there, and at most they had fallen to the ground. It was indeed a bit suspicious that so many cookies had disappeared.

"Moreover, the person who came here is obviously very anxious," Ron nodded. "There are no living corpses here. He could obviously choose at will, but he just took a pile of dry cookies near the entrance.

.If it were me, I would definitely go inside again."

It was at this moment that everyone finally heard an unusual sound coming from outside the shopping mall.

"boom!"
