harry potter book of crimes

"The fog is getting lighter and lighter."

Among Harry and his group who were flying non-stop to Weymouth, Hermione, who had not spoken much, suddenly said this.

"Yes!" Luna not far away agreed, but soon she raised her head again, looked higher in the sky and muttered, "But... the sky seems to have become darker."

However, it seems that there is no time for them to continue thinking about this problem, because the destination is not far away.

When they arrived near Weymouth, those annoying flying zombies were finally gone, but as they had speculated before, there were obviously many more evolved individuals among the zombies on the ground.

There is no doubt that this change will bring greater defensive pressure to the camp - and this is assuming that the living zombies do not launch an active attack on the camp.

Once a group of living zombies begin to attack the camp, their action pattern will inevitably affect the whole body, and may even form another wave of living zombies.

"Speed ​​up! Miss Geofine, we have to go faster!"

When they flew forward some distance, Harry suddenly discovered that the group of living corpses below were already showing signs of moving collectively towards the Weymouth camp.

And this is most likely a sign that the tide of living corpses is forming...or even expanding!

"Of course you can go faster, but you have to keep up."

Safina did not object to Harry, because when it came to understanding living corpses, there was probably no one here who could be better than her - even Sarah was at most similar to her, and maybe even not as good as her.

.

After all, she has killed countless living corpses over the past few days, and has seen countless more.

Harry could see the pattern of movement of living corpses, and she had naturally discovered it too. She was even sure that the tide of living corpses in Weymouth had probably been going on for quite some time.

At that moment, the black flames on Safina and Ursula suddenly increased, and then they suddenly accelerated and rushed forward quickly.

Although Safina is quite tired now, it is obviously not a problem yet.

Behind the two sisters, Harry and others riding brooms immediately increased their speed to the limit, whistling like a gust of wind and chasing after them.

As we got closer to Weymouth, everyone leaned over and looked down, and the more they could see that the moving speed of the living corpses was also accelerating. For a time, uneasiness piled up in the chests of Harry and others.

"Percy will be fine, don't worry, no matter what happens, at least they will have time to retreat!"

Ron immediately noticed the anxiety in Ginny's heart. He immediately slowed down slightly, went to Ginny's side, and spoke to comfort her.

"I know," Ginny pursed her lips, "Hurry up - your flying skills are not as good as mine! Be careful to bump into others, it will delay your time."

When flying at full speed, the broom will indeed become difficult to control. In fact, Ginny is right. But she is bickering with Ron at this time. This can only be because she is venting her anxiety in this way.

.

When Ron saw this, he could only smile, but said no more. Because...Percy is not only Ginny's brother, but also his brother! Ginny will be worried, but he won't?

"I wish this was just the beginning!"

Ron lowered his head and glanced down again, muttering in his heart.

About ten minutes passed, and downtown Weymouth was finally in sight. As long as you passed through the city, the other end was the port area where the camp was located - and the gravity trap left by Hermione during the last zombie wave

The line of defense is right there.

However, everyone's faces are getting more and more ugly now.

There are three lines of defense outside the Weymouth camp, and the outermost line has expanded to the center of the city. This was the plan that Hermione and Percy decided together.

But now, the urban area is crowded with living corpses.

In this wave of zombies, ordinary individuals still account for the majority, while the rest are speed zombies that pose a great threat to ordinary modern wizards. But the current situation is no longer even speed zombies.

There is a hidden danger of zombies attacking the defense line - it can be seen that even slow-moving power-type living zombies have appeared on the outskirts of the urban area.

As a result... the scene over there at the camp is really unimaginable.

"Hurry up! Hurry up!"

At this point, everyone no longer cares about the formation. As long as they can reach the camp as quickly as possible, even flying upside down is not a problem.

"The second line of defense has also been breached."

Hermione couldn't help but say this as she flew over the ruins of a neighborhood full of charred traces left by the explosion. Because she recognized this place - this was the defense line established by Percy leading many wizard teams, and many were deployed at that time.

Walls with the Thunderbolt Explosion Curse attached will all detonate when discarded, reducing the number of enemies and gaining time to retreat to the last line of defense.

But Hermione certainly couldn't tell that in order to gain more time to wait for Mr. Blois' arrival, Percy actually detonated it in stages in advance. In the end, everyone had no choice but to use part of the sacrifice in exchange for withdrawing the third line of defense.

Chance.

When Safina, who was rushing to the front, was the first to see the final line of defense composed of gravity traps, she was shocked by the mountains of living corpses as she did not understand the layout of the camp.

However, even if she didn't know the specific layout of Weymouth Camp's three lines of defense, when she saw the situation behind the tall "living corpse wall", she immediately realized what was going on here.

Yes, many speed zombies are running wildly in the camp area filled with tents, and most of their targets are in the direction of the dock!

That is to say...

"...the last line of defense didn't hold up."

Hermione and the others were startled when they saw it, but their remaining broomsticks did not stop and carried them quickly towards the seaside.

When everyone saw that all the boats on the pier had disappeared, they felt heavy and secretly breathed a sigh of relief one after another.

If the camp is lost, it will be lost! As long as everyone is okay, that's lucky.

"Let's go and have a look at the Granger camp!" Ron said, "Everyone must have evacuated there... Alas, I didn't expect that when I finally came back, the camp was gone."

"Well," Harry nodded, "Let's go!"

But at this moment, Safina suddenly shook her head, then turned around and looked at Ursula and said:

"You go with them! I have to stay here... You know, no matter what, I at least have to complete my deal with McClain."
