harry potter book of crimes

"Harry, how many people do you think Hermione will bring this time? In fact, I think there are actually quite a few people outside. And whatever we do next...it doesn't seem to be a matter of manpower, right?"

"

Neville was sitting at the door of the resting tent. As he said this, he opened the curtain and took a look outside. He could see a densely packed tent in the distance. Just looking at it would make people dizzy -

—Those are the support forces arranged by various alliance member forces not long ago.

Hearing what Neville said, Harry shook his head when he saw Ginny sitting next to him before he could answer.

"It's not a bad thing to have more help," she said, "Besides, do you think Hermione established this resistance alliance just to increase its combat power? This is a huge disaster with wide implications, and all the forces in close proximity are

My heart is filled with anxiety, and even those who are far away are secretly paying attention - even if Hermione doesn't take the lead, they will reach out sooner or later."

When Ginny said this, she immediately imitated Hermione's expression and spread her hands.

"So instead of letting them all interfere with each other with selfish motives, or even cause trouble for each other, it is better for us to integrate this power for our use. Even if these people cannot really threaten Haierbo, at least they will not let it

They disrupted our operations, didn't they?"

"Oh, Ginny, you've learned so much from Hermione!" Hannah clapped at the side.

And until then, Harry, who had not spoken much since just now, couldn't help but said:

"No matter what, it's definitely not easy to settle down in Birmingham this time, and it's even more difficult to hold on there... What I care about most right now is Haierbo. When we reoccupy Birmingham, he will be there again.

What will you do?”

"No one can guess this," Neville scratched his head and said, "But in short... Maka should be able to contain him, right? Just like Hermione said..."

Just like this, when Hermione went to Belgium for a meeting, several friends could only take a short rest in this tent while talking about their worries with each other. Sometimes because the topics they talked about were too boring, some people would talk casually.

Make a joke to lighten the mood.

However, Ron never participated in it.

Yes, he was injured on the way to Winchester, and the injury was quite serious. However, with the help of efficient potions and his self-healing ability, he is actually almost better now.

However, even so, he still just lay down on the simple camp bed in the corner, and did not sit up to participate in everyone's conversation.

Because during this period of time, as a "spectator" who could do nothing, he seemed to feel that something was wrong. That strange sense of disobedience had been bothering him, making him unable to distract himself from other issues.

.

At this moment, Ron was still lying in a corner of the tent, and the voices of Harry and the others were swirling in his ears, making his already chaotic mind even more confused.

"Anyway... there's something wrong." He half-closed his eyes and muttered to himself.

Unexpectedly, Ginny's words suddenly stunned him.

"...All in all, after going to Birmingham this time, if Haierbo is really stopped by Maca and does not take action personally, then we may have to stay there for a long time - I think this will evolve

It becomes a protracted war of attrition between us and the living zombies! Therefore..."

"etc!"

A sudden soft cry made everyone stop talking and turned to look at Ron who suddenly sat up.

"What's wrong?" Harry asked confused.

"We cannot engage in a protracted war with Haierbo!" Ron said in a daze, "We cannot regard living corpses as ordinary enemies - have you forgotten? As long as they are in this fog, they will continue to evolve.

, there will definitely be more and more high-level zombies by then!"

After Ron mentioned it, everyone immediately said "ah" somewhat belatedly.

Yes, maybe it's because most of the evolved zombies are still concentrated in the area near London. At present, they still need to face the largest number of ordinary zombies who are used to wandering around aimlessly, so that they don't know what's going on.

Suddenly, I subconsciously ignored a major feature of their evolution in a foggy environment.

After all, during this period of time, they have almost become numb from fighting with ordinary zombies. And the high-level zombies that really impressed them so far are only the one they encountered outside the ancient city of Winchester.

That's all, and they haven't even really fought each other yet.

"Harry, Ginny..." Ron thought for a moment and suddenly couldn't help but ask, "Has Hermione mentioned to any of you the countermeasures she uses to deal with high-level zombies?"

"Well," Harry recalled for a moment, then said, "It seems...she only talked about using the gravity trap and the cooling rules on the rune arm shield to destroy the lava zombie with me."

"What about...the other high-level zombies?" Ron frowned and said, "Although we have never seen them, I bet that there is no way that Halbo has only one zombie that has evolved to a high level!"

"So, Hermione's plan to capture Birmingham was wrong?" Neville couldn't help but muttered to himself after listening to what they said.

But Ginny shook her head again.

"You can't say that," she said, "Birmingham is very important. Taking it will make Herbo uncomfortable. Hermione's idea is definitely correct. But... we may not be able to hold it, and even if

Even if we can hold it, we can't hold it forever. Ron is right, we can't afford to waste time with Haierbo."

As soon as she said this, she stood up with her knees up.

"You guys wait here, I'll go to Belgium to find Hermione."

"I am coming too!"

Harry was about to get up too, but Ginny reached out and held him down.

"It's not necessary. It's enough for me to go alone - you and everyone else will stay here, just in case."

After saying that, she hurriedly ran out of the tent.

However, not long after, just as everyone began to worry about what to do next, they saw that the curtain at the entrance of the tent was opened again. Ginny, who had just left, came back, and there were two more people behind her.

Tao figure.

"Hermione...Luna?"

Looking at the two girls who had somehow come together, the friends all showed puzzled expressions. But soon, before they could say anything, Hermione suddenly waved her hand and said:

"The plan to go to Birmingham has been postponed. Let's go to Winchester to find Maka!"
